i think it’s funny and says something about the changes in gaming culture how Pokémon Red and Blue, games which are notorious for being horribly broken and buggy and which it is a marvel even run, are considered some of the greatest games ever made, but Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which are better games by basically every conceivable metric, have a user score of 2.9/10 on metacritic, citing “glitches and bad performance”
“glitches are cool in 2D but in 3D i want high framerates and polish” okay but have you considered this is a completely arbitrary stance and not how computers work
the pokémon company is ambitious and genre-pushing and work on a completely nonnegotiable multimedia release schedule which includes games, tv, movies, trading cards, and home decor. that approach is simply not compatible with releasing highly-polished games. you can like it or you can hate it but you have to treat it as what it is.
also scarlet and violet are the biggest Nintendo launch ever so maybe gamers just do not know what they want
