I'm very happy I actually held off on pre-ordering a Pokémon game for once and pirated it instead. It's SO dumbed down that it's just a shame to the real games. Not gonna pay for this shit.

But you're still gonna finish it. And you'll prove the point of people against piracy. GG

Pirating Games to "test out" is a fair game in my book - but only if no demo exists.
Especially on PC games where the recommended PC specs sometimes are not enough to get the full 1080p@60fps experience (i am looking at you Final Fantasy XIV).

Playing through a game and saying "i am glad I did not buy this piece of shit"...bad move.
Test the game, decide if you want it and then either buy or delete it.

Example given: The german release of "Southpark - the stick of truth" is censored and does not have the official german voice actors.
During their marketing campaign all the trailers were in german - but when the original studio got bought up they scrapped all other voice actors besides the american ones.
I canceled my pre order and could have pirated the game - but I decided against it, I just did not want to play the game because i thought that this was a much worde version than we could have gotten.

So if you think that the new Pokemon game sucks - why are you even playing it @Shadowfield ?

Prices drop so quickly these days that there's very little point in buying anything for full price at launch, unless it's going to become rare.

There are probably some games where the online community won't endure, but then if the online community vanishes that quickly, it can't have a very good online component in the first place.

Fullon golfclap for that m8.... It just came out. Its not some multiplatform PC game from Ubisoft. Ur one of the Reasons for Nintendo piracy paranoia and proved their point.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Such a great game no regrets here at no point has it ever felt too easy, ud have to be constantly catching pokemon to not be underlevel.

Expecting about 2-3 h grind to get my team ready for top 4

@Song of storms not sure which "point of people against piracy" I'm proving. I buy way more video games than the average person, and I buy essentially every pirated game I enjoy, so if I'm an example for "people against piracy", then I guess they don't want video games to sell at all.

Assuming you actually meant to @ me;

Why shouldn't I play it? I still wanna make a judgement of the game, but I'm not supporting the game. We tell the devs that we don't support this dumbed down idea of a Pokémon game by not buying it. I have no issues with playing through it to make up my mind about it in it's entirety. I finish shitty games too to make a judgement. Imagine if a reviewer didn't review a game because it sucked after playing it for 5 minutes. Let's only have positive reviews!

What in the name of absolute fuck are you even talking about?
Way to make completely backwardass assumptions based on nothing.

Ubisoft represents way more depravity and despair in the gaming industry, I'd never give them a penny. I'm simply not paying for Let's Go Sweep All Gyms With My Starter because I don't approve of the direction of the game. So what? If I couldn't pirate it, they still wouldn't get my money. I normally pirate to check if a game is worth buying. In this case I knew within the first 5 minutes that it wasn't. Now I'm continuing playing so I can still make a judgement of the game and I'll still sleep sound at night.

Also..what does "catching Pokémon" have to do with it? We're saying that simply catching Pokémon, not battling them or employing any sort of strategy against wild Pokémon is stupid and dumbed down, not that it is unnecessary because it doesn't give you EXP or anything. I find it gets EXTREMELY monotonous when every wild Pokémon you encounter is literally the same though. Throw your ball. Throw your ball. Throw your ball. Throw your ball. Couple that with the fact that the direction of the ball is COMPLETELY random, so badly implemented that people are suggesting you turn the joycon upside down, it makes for an even worse grind than the normal games.

In 5 years time you'll find this game at a maximum 30% discount, most likely 20%. It is Nintedo we're talking about, not Valve/Steam.

On a different note,
does anyone know if Nintendo Selects exist for Switch games yet, and if so how much they dropped in price?
