You know what I mean beyond just opinions
I genuinely do not. So it's opinions and... what, facts?

Whatever a player writes about their experience is an opinion (with facts mixed in), whatever be the topic, so I don’t get what d’you mean by beyond opinions?You know what I mean beyond just opinions

Getting real sick of people telling me I'm entitled for wanting better, or at least the bare minimum of what we already had. The fact of the matter is that Game Freak has stripped tons of valuable (and arguably, essential) content while demanding more money for less content.The issue today is many people have very high expectations, and are violently entitled. If a game, or even a film or TV series adds something these fans don't like, then they'll find an excuse, any excuse, to bash the writers/developers, their families, other fans, or just random people over it.
Yeah, I'm sure everyone at Nintendo crying on their piles of money. They're so hurt that they're willing to end their incredibly profitable game series and shut down a company, even though Pokemon games could be literal dog turds and still sell gangbusters.So in this case, Game Freak may face being shut down (or worse burnt down) because of the backlash, and SwSh to be the final game of the franchise,
Can they even shut down GF? I thought they only had a stake in their Pokemon stuff. Though if they can shut them down, I doubt they'd be willing to close the company down after this snafu, rather than simply helping them improve.provided Nintendo doesn't hand over development rights to another studio.
I mean, not really. Most people can tell if criticism is legit or not by listening. Even if the criticism is delivered angrily, you should be able to understand what they want by listening to their words, and not just focusing on the delivery. That's how things work in the adult world - you can't just block your ears and tune out the things you don't like.Especially since it's hard to tell if someone's criticism is legit, or rage based.
When other games in the same system look much better and have better animations compared to a game that devs said they were cutting pokemon for better graphics and better animations and yet hardly improved those (not denying some animations look great though), i don't think you need to be a tech wizard to know that the game looks underwhelming from a graphical standpoint. Specially when the game is locked to 30 FPS and it has somehow FPS drops and slowdown.A ting like they know about specs, inner game mechanics, graphical tech, management, animation. Everybody acts likes they're expert in the fields and they know what's objectively good, even though they're probably just regular gamers chilling at home just spouting what THEY consider good
Take note, literally anything in life can be better than what it is. So instead of focusing on what it CAN be, focus more on what you like about it as it is.
This is how things don't improve. Specially when you know the company is capable of so much more and it's, this has been stated several times here, the biggest media franchise in the world.Take note, literally anything in life can be better than what it is.

That’s a case by case basis you can’t generalise on. For all you know you’re talking to someone doing an animation course. In the end, it’s still their opinion and in this era google exists: you can easily debunk if something someone’s talking about is innacurate.A ting like they know about specs, inner game mechanics, graphical tech, management, animation.

Like the other user said, we can look at the good while looking at the critical aspects as well. It’s not one or the other. Just gushing over the games with suppressed criticism sends the message to GameFreak that we’re satisfied with the games irrespective of the flaws (which some of us aren’t) and that just opens a gateway to further cut content.Take note, literally anything in life can be better than what it is. So instead of focusing on what it CAN be, focus more on what you like about it as it is.
But what does focusing a complaining about what's there do for you? It makes you upset, negative, and forget about what you Ben liked about something to begin with. It's more a negative effect than anything and makes it harder to go through with things in lifeThese two things aren't actually mutually exclusive
You can appreciate what's good about something the way it is while also being critical and wanting it to be better
Yeah, I agree. Like that time I spent months in near-poverty and had to live on one jar of peanut butter for a week, because we couldn't afford both food AND rent, none of it mattered because I still had this really cool shirt of cats flying in outer space.Take note, literally anything in life can be better than what it is.

In an ideal world, complaining would lead to Nintendo listening to us and improving in the future. Our complaints could also serve as warnings, telling outsiders about what they can expect if they choose to fall into this franchise. We complain because we care.But what does focusing a complaining about what's there do for you? It makes you upset, negative, and forget about what you Ben liked about something to begin with.

Making our concerns heard is better for the franchise that we love. If we don’t say anything, it sends the message that we’re satisfied with the product and that paves the way for further cuts in the content. Constructive criticism allows for a better game in the future.But what does focusing a complaining about what's there do for you?

But don't you feel a bit better about the negatives not overflowing your constant thought? Able to power through through tough times instead of staying in one place depressed and angry?Yeah, I agree. Like that time I spent months in near-poverty and had to live on one jar of peanut butter for a week, because we couldn't afford both food AND rent, none of it mattered because I still had this really cool shirt of cats flying in outer space.
You can still focus on the positives, but the negative stuff still needs to be addressed. It won't go away just because there are good things.
How is constant split arguments over nitpicks for any kind of good?Making our concerns heard is better for the franchise that we love.

I'm definitely guilty of this. Didn't cared much for Gen 7 as a whole (i liked several things about it before you say i'm all negative), but the pre-release of Gen 8 has been somewhat entertaining. It's been kind of surreal seeing Gamefreak, and i'll add Bethesda for that matter, being criticized by a lot of people, when they have been for literally decades some of the most beloved game companies.I've had more fun watching this hype season trainwreck than I've had playing all of Gen VII.
Do I hate it? No. Far from it. I pre-ordered it, I will play it and I will enjoy it. Is it perfect? Far from it. Does it deserve constructive criticism in the hope of improvement in the future? Yes, definitely. Especially graphics-wise and in terms of difficulty.
Esserise hit the nail on the head as always, so I'll just add my two cents.But what does focusing a complaining about what's there do for you?

...Bruh.The issue today is many people have very high expectations, and are violently entitled.
This can devolve into fandom heresy, leading to fatal cyberbullying towards developers or more positive fans. In worst case scenarios, fan backlash might cause franchise (or even genre) to end, either because the developers fear for their lives, or because of protests from overzealous parents who thinks the franchise corrupts people.
So in this case, Game Freak may face being shut down (or worse burnt down) because of the backlash,
Why not take this direction yourself? Instead of focusing on what fandom response CAN be, focus more on what you like about it as it is.Take note, literally anything in life can be better than what it is. So instead of focusing on what it CAN be, focus more on what you like about it as it is.
