If you value your money, dont buy it. This is like fallout 76 but pokemon version. Its a shitty UNFINISHED product sold at full price. Idk what nintendo though about rushing this crap.

Read the user reviews if you want more details

I'm not trusting a bunch of "angry" neckbeard adults who injury themselves playing Pokemon Go.

@vfighter: Most of the negatives are factual: reused assets, garbage performance, really bad designed areas, fps hard lag (in 2019 what?), very few pokemon, and I could go on...

Damn, I don't play Pokemon anymore but that does suck. Seemed like the Switch version could of really broadened future games horizons.

@speeny: As always, reality lies somewhere in-between. Highly doubt a Pokémon game is a 3.6/10 but I also don’t think it deserves a 9/10 either.

@Pedro: They’re both pretty terrible but user scores driven by emotion and passion like this one are by far the worst.

Trolls are in full force, but supposedly there is a bug that deletes all saved game data for all games?

They're suggesting you turn off autosave.

I think he is trying to point out how petty review-bombing is in general. It does not matter if it happened to Death Stranding, it does not matter if it happened to Pokemon - it is all petty.

But at this rate - who knows - maybe review-bombing trolls will get Metacritic to take away user reviews the same way IMDB took their forums away several years ago over "toxic online community".

At this point I think that is what all review aggregator sources should do, take away their rating privileges. I don't think the internet is mature enough to handle these platforms and they should not be allowed to use them either because they're not being used under any productive means.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

They should probably make it so that no one can make a user review until at least one week has passed from a game’s release.

Damn, and I saw some users here pointing to Death Stranding's user review score on metacritic as some proof just a week ago!

That being said, because of losers on the internet with no life at all, user score means shit.

Metacritic user score has meant nothing for a long time. It’s common to see games get review bombed on there.

Im a pretty blunt person. I have both ps4 and switch. And I can CLEARLY tell both the new pokemon and death stranding ARE NOT 9s. Some scores arent decided by quality but reputation, which shouldnt be factor.

To the people claiming this is bombing, grow up. Facts are facts. Lying is a fact too. They said they didnt include the rest of the pokemon because they were focusing on making them from scratch. Turns out they reused everything.

Anyone who gives any game a zero is full of it. (VERY few exceptions to this rule) People acting like they do not know this are just embarrassing themselves.

yeah, a lot of times the review is 'I saw a lot of 100s and I don't agree so I'm giving it a zero to offset'

which is a bs reason.

The damn cancel culture needs to get a damn life. Any reviews anymore need to be taken with a grain of salt. If someone gets pissed off at a game they immediately think they need to go to a review site and review bomb the hell out of it. People are pathetic anymore to be honest.

Out of all the toxic gaming fanbases on the Internet, I'm afraid the Pokemon fanbase takes the cake... which is a surprising turn for what used to be seen as one of the nicer fanbases

They're bitching over 400 frickin' Pokemon. The original Pokemon only had 150 Pokemon, and it's still a classic. Hell, other great JRPGs barely get a dozen characters or summons. Yet Pokemon fans seem to think 400 is too little. What a bunch of spoilt brats.

Also, this only goes to show that MC user scores are utterly worthless trash. MC should either get rid of user scores, or implement a similar system to Rotten Tomatoes where only confirmed buyers (and maybe renters) rate the product. That would be a good way to weed out the actual players from the fakes who never played it.

You're either trolling, or have been living under a rock. Review bombing is the latest thing for tribalists to attempt disruption in the competition. A new form of low.

I don't know... review bombing is usually a good indicator that there's something wrong with the game, albeit the game itself or the dealings behind it. When this happens, I tend to look deeper into the game than most reviews let on.

This should serve as a lesson to never go to Metashitic for "professional" or user reviews as they are both shit and bias.

Stop going there and giving the site traffic that way it dies a horrible death, wise the **** up people.

I think steams system of reviews is probably the best out there, you have to own the game and the reivews are there and easy to read, it is very easy to sort out the trolls from people giving legit reviews and it makes it easier to make an educated purchase. Obviously that could not work on a site like metacritic, but I don't think there really is a solution, you just have to take it with a grain of salt and use other sources.

I have always found youtube to be the best, you can watch reviews, watch gameplay, and it usually is pretty easy to figure out if the game is right for you or not.

They're number two for me right now. Still... we had fandoms that managed to outsuck the Star Wars fandom this year, and the worst they did was...

...drive actors off of social media (Ridley, Tran)

...drive actors off of acting completely (Jake Lloyd)

...drive George Lucas to sell his IP

...and towards Rian Johnson... yeah, there's a reason he made Knives Out.

3 hours in to the game and I am having a great time! (Seems like a pattern, as I am also having a good time with Death Stranding)

Seems like listening to MC user reviews sure would not do anything for me.

It seems there are legitimate complaints and concerns, but just mashing 1 in user reviews doesn't really help.

The only people posting user reviews on the day of release are raving lunatic fanboys.
