Hear me out maybe I am just bad af at this game. If I am, I am thankful for my bad skills because I’m finding the difficulty actually pretty challenging here and its fun!

I wanted another Pokemon game that’s remotely on the difficulty level of Platinum for so long!

So far in this game, I have died more in my first 4 hours than in Platinum I think.

I already lost 1 time to Nemona or what her name is, 1 timr actually to a wild pokemon and now 2 times to the Bug type Gym leader Teddy Pokemon even tho I came with 6 Pokemon (I do have water tho so thats probs why I sucked here)

Anyways, I am really happy to see that this isn’t braindead easy. It may not be hard at all for experienced players, but I’m having a good time as a casual!

Curious to see the star team bosses since they r challenging too, I heard!

I am 2h in and thought I love this game so far, until I came to the main city and realized gamefreak was being very lazy once again.

Every single shop here cannot actually be entered as a building but gets limited to a single UI screen.

It was so much fun exploring all these buildings and shops in Platinum :/

As if Gamefreak doesn’t have the budget or manpower to do this :/

Hey! I’m a casual Pokemon player (who does like games that are not piss easy though) whose favorite pokemon games were Heartgold & Platinum / Pearl Diamond

I heard that the game here has absolutely lifeless environments and more importantly, broken scaling (or lack thereof) that makes many battles a literal cakewalk

I was interested in the game mainly because the switch 2 patch finally secured a 60fps mode for once, can y’all tell me if you’d consider the game worth it for a platinum lover? Or are there better alternatives on switch?

What is the satisfying part in this game that hooks you?

Edit: Oh and is there something like the Elite 4 or another endgame activity that is fun?

Danke!

Die meisten die wir so fanden sind gute 45 Min weg

“Messi, die kleine Rennmaus”
“Dass der 1.69m große Argentiner es immer noch drauf hat..”
“How can this little man score like THAT”

Nur ein paar Kommentare von deutsche & englischen Kommentatoren. Sie mögen harmlos aussehen deuten aber auf ein größeres in der Gesellschaft

Könnt ihr euch das ganze beim Weight-Shaming vorstellen dass das so normalisiert ist? Dass man Menschen konstant wegen deren Übergewicht abwertet oder darauf hinweist, und das ganze nicht subtil sondern als wärs vollkommen legitim, lauthals und ohne Bedenken aussprechen

Und das Ding ist: Viele Menschen könnten ja sogar deren Übergewicht ändern (psychische Erkrankungen & Erkrankungen die Gewichtszunahme begünstigen, sind natürlich hier nicht gemeint).

Ein Hawi der 1.69m ist kann sich maximal für 40.000€ der kosmetischen Beinverlängerung unterziehen, sich die Knochen damit brechen & wieder wachsen lassen und dann sein ganzes Leben mit Schmerzen leben damit er 5cm größer ist.

Das konstante Signalisieren dass Körpergröße etwas mit Erfolg oder Kompetenz zu tun hat geht mir echt am Sack. Und ja, leider ist das evolutionstechnisch gesehn verständlich dass die Menschen so ticken. Trotzdem ist es teils sehr belastend

Es ist traurig wie sehr es gesellschaftlich akzeptiert ist, insbesondere Männer wegen derer Körpergröße direkt oder indirekt zu diskriminieren oder zu belächeln / abzuwerten

Und ja ich schreib das als ein ziemlich kleiner Hawi @174cm

2 meiner Kumpels sind kleiner als ich und erfahren regelmäßig Diskriminierung auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen.

The game audio sounds really low quality for some reason on my headphones. All other games and music works perfectly though?

I’m loving the game tbh but the fact that I am 6h in, Level 4 and therefore still have to do all the jobs in heavy terrain with fucking street tires is tiring… Like, it feels as if the game is artificially making everything as hard for me as possible

I just want the damn all-terrain tires at least. I can’t get the jobs done because they require me to go into terrain that I can’t with those street tires

It honestly feels like a design issue.

So I am 5h in and at the beginning I didn’t understand the garage / recover system so I left that pickup car out in the city.

Now, I am confused how can I get it into my garage? Because it doesn’t seem to be as simple as “click it on the map and click recover”

I have to physically drive to it with my truck, but the problem then is that I, of course, cannot drive home with 2 vehicles at once.

So I’d have to exit my truck to drive the other vehicle home, but THEN the truck will be left behind instead.

Clearly I am missing a feature or smth, what is it?

I need Mud-compatible tires in order to get to the areas I need to fulfill jobs.

I cannot get Mud-compatible tires because I need to be level SIX (!!). I am currently level 2

I cannot get to level six, because I cannot accept jobs, because my truck is equipped with garbage street tires and gets stuck immediately in any mud. The winch would help, IF there would be any points to winch toward

You cann see I am very overwhelmed, what am I missing here?

I’m liking pretty much everything else

Even though I did switch from the “Controller” preset to the “Steering Wheel” preset (how tf is this not the default?) I still think the steering is too jumpy

Like, in other games it is so comfortable and smooth to just gently tip the analog stick so your car or truck moves the way you want

In this game, it feels like at first you dont feel any input at all for the truck’s steering, so you push it a bit further, but then suddenly the truck moves way too abruptly even though you only slightly adjusted the steering

And the worst is, there is a sensitivity setting ingame for the right stick, but not for the left stick, which is for steering :/

Many thanks!

I notice that the game scarcely reaches 60 fps in 4k with maxed out base settings. How power hungry is the snowy moon mod?

Does anyone feel the same? The game will release in a few months anyways. Their permanent forced marketing silence just became annoying so I’m simply not following any news or leaks anymore until like the last week before its release maybe.

It really does good to simply forget about the games existence on focus on the other plentiful things in life (and the massive amount of amazing games that came out those last months)

Many thanks!
