Nintendo apologizes for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet performance problems, new patch released

sadsadasdas.png

When the review embargo for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lifted, one of the biggest problems both critics and players had with the games was the performance issues. A little under two weeks have passed since then, and it looks like Game Freak is getting around to fixing some of them. A version 1.1.0 patch of the game has been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, bringing the first season of ranked battles to the games, as well as patching out select bugs. Included in the patch notes was also an apology from Nintendo, who stated that they are currently working on improvements to the games, in regard to performance problems.

We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games' performance. Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games.

That turned out well for Duke Nukem Forever. ;)

I don't remember Duke Nukem Forever being all that buggy and performing poorly. I just remember it being a bad game. (Like not being fun, not living up to the hype) That's something that is much more difficult to fix.

But my memory could be a bit foggy.

How about fixing those joycons?

Is that a serious question or are you're being sarcastic?
Some people underestimate the power of reputation :D
Post automatically merged:

Just got the new patch installed. So far I've not seen any improvement to the performance. Still huge frame drops.

Taking the Cyberpunk 2077 approach? Launch the game, then gradually make it playable with patches later on.
You mean originally and typically the Bethesda approach...ala Fallout New Vegas Skyrim etc...recently and very enthusiastically adopted by CD project red and most other devs...ship out a buggy half a$$ed game at full retail and patch it if there's too much Fallout(no pun intended) over bugs

10 million copies in 3 days for this absolute piece of trash. Anyone who bought scarlet/violet has no critical thinking ability.

Woah, that's a bit harsh don't you think?

There's plenty of people who like the game itself but are disappointed about the technical quality.

You do realise that you just insulted millions of people right?

Most people probably are not on top of gaming news. Imagine how many parents who are buying this for their kids for Christmas.

And then there's people like my who knows that the game is in a very unpolished state but knows that Game Freak will patch out most of the issues in time.

Then there's collectors and diehard fans who simply don't care enough about the state of the game, they are going to buy it regardless.

They should apologize for Pokemon in general. It along with other 90's and post 90's cartoons have inspired entire generations of kids to enjoy shows with shallow characters and no depth of plot. In a way, it's really quite an amazing achievement, though on the other hand movies and everything have gone down hill since, and franchises I used to enjoy have been ruined because of it. Pokemon must die!
I would agree, but there is a manga called Pokémon Adventures that is actually quite good.

Do your research before going into a product investment rather than rely on brand recognition to make the purchasing decisions for you. It's that simple.

As for your last paragraph, those people are the biggest morons of them all.

You forgot another section of people - those that have the ability to enjoy any game as long as it runs. It's not a popular position on this forum, but they exist.

i only have a few minor graphical glitches every now and then, and slowdowns only in certain areas under certain conditions. So not everyone is having the same experience, it seems like. though i suspect some of y'all complaining haven't actually played the game and just like complaining about pokémon.

I'm playing the cartridge though, not running anything off the sd. didn't notice any changes from the update.

I don't think it's a performance update. It's a feature update to add ranked wi-fi battles that happened to fix a couple bugs.

Wonder if they're gonna release updates to fix the other issues? Adding more Pokémon and moves back in (when, especially moves, should've never been dropped in the first place), adding a Battle Tower thing to give us something to spend more time on after finishing everything else, more outfits, etc.
This confuses me to no end. I never like when they take content away, but it's expected that they'll take some Pokémon out and then charge up the ass to add less than 100, most of which no one sane actually uses. However; removing moves? They didn't take away Splash or Tail Whip, so why in the ass did they do that?! And also; making TMs single use again just to force their shitty crafting system in?

What a joke.

maybe if woketendo literally was patient on the schedule for the release date of this game instead of possibly(note; 50/50 cause i know it's the hire ups that does this way too much so i am taking a gander here), telling GF to just poop it out early as heck then i am pretty sure the developers for this game..if they even care at all for this franchise, - which i have doubts for, - the game would have released not this year but toasty delay of 2024 would have made more sense instead of just ditching PLA that quickly to sell merch like hungry coporate pigs that they've become.
gosh i miss old gf, and nintendo..this is just utterly sourly trash of a 'game' - can even be called that at all at this point? ....

if they do fix the issues it still won't change the fact that the environment is lacking just like sword n shield,(fairly it was there first open world game - instead of doing a sandbox experience which would've been smarter, either or it doesn't change the matter that gf is a multi billion dollar company that can be easily be bought by tencent..i wonder if that will happen lol xD), the npc look like clones of the character creator - instead of doing what they did with sword/shield plus PLA they were *this* lazy as heck to not even bother giving the students (some) different styles instead of looking like the children of the nano corn haaa...okay, further more the matter of not being able to enter building; man when i first witnessed it while playing the game a bit early,i was done with the game - thing made me have a mid life crisis instead of it having a mid life crisis lol like who the heck makes a pokemon game where they just say "screw it" restrict everything this time - last time on the 3ds wasn't big enough - let's top that then you asking the *stinking* trainers if they wanna battle - boy.......i....should of delayed this game.

-i spoiled myself with the evolutions of the main, cause i just lost hope in this game - first time i've done it - even sword/shield i couldn't do it cause i loved pokemon but i accepted and didn't support the huge mistakes that game had either or this game destroyed my straw, - the evolutions look wack, clownish - i just question who they hired to do the designs of the pokemons evolv, and the characters as well cause it's totally normal for a 12 year old to have stinking make up that looks mature look for a young adult...come on man..
