Im assuming they're basically like Black and White 2.

Same, but since they're releasing just a year after Sun and Moon and Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have both been doing big DLC stuff for a while now, I'm not entirely confident. I just sorta hope it's DLC because then it'll be cheaper and I won't have two large game files sitting on my 3DS memory card that share 99% of the same assets and code.

Oh man I'm out of touch, thought RPS was meant to be ok. I don't often read it anymore as I found there were a lot of fluff pieces I wasn't interested in so generally just see articles when looking up info on a specific game.

You should read their beat cop review.

In fact, everyone should. It's RPS at it's lowest in recent years.

the moment i stopped reading rockpapershotgun was when they published a giant article with this one woman going on with her experiences with how transformative and eye-opening the lesbian bit in fallout 1 was, and i was like 'this isn't very well written and I don't care about this woman's life story but I get the point about how depictions of homosex in media can be good for closeted kids,'

and then the article ended with "Now in my adult life, as a straight ally,"

Goon opinions has really turned on them yeah. I dont think they are THAT bad but they do miss the point quite frequently

I've yet to see a journalist who was good at a videogame in the sense that we've come to expect from streamers and youtube and whatnot. But I reckon they don't really need to be.

They dont need to be pro players but I feel like at least a decent level of understanding of game design and logic is neccesary to be a good reviewer. Like if you review a game and say "such and such was confusing and badly designed" but then it turns out the design was perfectly fine and it was you being a moron, thats a failure as a critic

yeah. like the nier reviewer who got mad about the fishing minigame because he kept fishing at the hardest possible spot instead of the easier spot that the game tells you to fish at and points out on your map, or w/e. that's just flatout ignoring what the game is giving you. being bad at a video game is whatever, but a lot of reviewers seem to refuse to try and understand games or try get to grips with their mechanics. and i can get that, since you have to review a shitton of games as a professional reviewer and unlike film or a book every game basically has its own language that you have to wrap your head around, but it feels like a lot of them don't even bother trying.

Well at least they're just coming right out and saying they don't like people with brown skin rather than trying to pretend it's something else, I guess. And I haven't followed Skullgirls but wouldn't that censorship claim mean they redrew at least one character pretty much entirely? If so that's pretty impressive.
