Oh, really? I never poked around in the options of the demo. I hope that's the case--I'd love to tone it down just a bit.

I'm like 90% sure the demo didn't have any such options. I was hoping to ask for it in the developer feedback thing but then I forgot about it.

It's just so over the top. It doesn't help that some of the menus and stuff also look pretty bad (reminds me of the horrible Final Fantasy mobile ports) which just makes the game aesthetically feel very... off to me.

Is the Lego City Undercover port good?

It’s pretty buggy. It’s crashed on me quite a few times and even hard-locked my Switch on a couple of occasions. The save system is also pretty wonky and I’ve had to redo entire mission segments because I exited the game after a supposed “checkpoint save.”

Final two octopath traveler protagonists plus they finally explain the structure of the game, sounds like you choose one character to start as and recruit the other 7 but can play anyone's story once they're in your party so you can do all 8 in a single playthrough.

What I'm hoping it means is that you actually have a throwing mechanic like pogo. Pokemon games are mechanically boring right now, you randomly meet a monster, you then pick an attack and then hope it doesn't kill them, before picking a pokeball that has a random chance of failure. Changing this to the pogo system can allow more difficulty in random battles while taking away some of the slog. Imagine being able to choose the old way or trying for an active throw that gives you chance to instacatch. This would also help how the pokeball system works, which currently is gated behind a number of things, allowing for different streamlined options.

The regular games already have a chance to instacatch. Also, the chance of failure can be affected by status effects and (obvs) how injured the 'mon is. Personally, I think adding something where you swipe with your finger would feel like the 'slog.' It wouldn't add anything except the literal action of swiping, which sounds like a pain in the rear end to do all the time.

It’s pretty clear that people just instantly fear phone app integration, but it isn’t clear that this rumor is true or that phone app integration will be necessary.

This is pretty much my take. I'd be really happy if they ditched having to move between screens and just had a big seemless open world. BOTW's engine is the holy grail, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what they'll do with the extra power. I'll be a bit disappointed if they do the two version thing like they've always done, only with one version on the 3DS and the other on the Switch with the end result that it's pretty much the same as it's always been.

Instead of just throwing pokeballs at idle weakened/concussed Pokémon you can try to toss them at live ones running around. Or use a pokeball gun to concuss and capture in one shot. First person Pokémon shooter, developed by Retro.

I’m just kidding I’m sure you’re a good guy

But gently caress your opinions

Honestly I think it can still be unique to Pokémon but just more open world and 3D. I don’t think we’re talking about reskins here but a totally different game on the same engine.

I remember suggesting that I think in this thread a while back and people were saying Sun and Moon was already Pokemon's BOTW. No way in hell is the Pokemon generation that stops you every ten seconds to hold your hand and whatever going to be Pokemon's BOTW. Sun/Moon were absolutely clausterphobic in how little freedom they gave you.

All I want is the big open world.

Also I guess I'm an old-ish school zelda fan, I go back to LTTP and Links Awakening. I loved BOTW, but I can't really see myself replaying it the way I can everything up through say... wind waker.
