Game still not finished?

[Utsukishi]

I agree that complaining is not criticising.

You're allowed to complain but you shouldn't criticise the game until you have played it. Don't judge a book by its cover, yeah?

Also, I'd say that yeah, people who look forward to the game and don't mind missing things don't need to click on these threads. Except they seem to be popping up so much and it's kinda hard to just ignore it.

And it's definitely a lot of negativity towards the game when most of you haven't even had a chance to play the game yet. Judging the game based on some information you were given online. You claim that people are giving fake news when they say something is in the game but are 100% okay to believe when someone suddenly claims someone isn't in the game.

Didn't we have a fake list of things going around and the first thing people did was complain about the lack of places. The fact that it was fake was a second or third priority.

This implies items will be added as well, though I don't know what constitutes as 'special items'. I'm also not sure if they mean you need to own both NH and PC to get these special items or if special items will just be available to both respectively, no matter which you own.

Also, it wouldn't be all that surprising if the day 1 patch included some missing things to prevent dataminers from leaking everything. Maybe another reason reviewers can't show anything past a certain date is because they've been given this update early? Idk. Just speculating at this point. I'm still not going to worry until I literally see these things missing in-game while physically playing it because there's just no way to know for 100% sure yet.

Anyone else feel like we aren't getting the full game yet?

(spoilers sort of?)

They had to push it back already, which is totally fine. We know we are going to be getting updates with holidays.
At first I was worried that the updates were going to be a push for in game purchases (like acpc) but now I'm starting to think the game is just... literally not finished. Along with the fact I do think they are going to push for in game purchases

I mean so much important stuff is gone like why would gyroids or froggy chair not be in it unless the devs are just completely clueless to what players want?

Idk tell me what yall think :'(

I stopped taking your theory seriously at the bolded. Internet memes are the worst.

But no, the game isn't unfinished. Nintendo has a very specific and different plan for this game compared to previous titles, and those reason will be revealed before too long.

Also side note i hate when people say "we could not have new horizons at all" cause in that alternative universe i wouldn't even know it existed therefore i wouldn't care

Exactly. That sort of logic could be applied literally anywhere and it's just a completely bs claim to make.

No I get this for sure, and truly I don't have an issue with updates but nintendo does abandon games so having it so heavily centered around updates is sort of setting itself up for disaster. It is speculation I don't know anything it's possible nintendo has like a plan for updates to continue forever without new content! I just wanted to have an open discussion and people took it way seriously lol

Did no one else feel slapped in the face by Dexit and the serious lack of effort and innovation put into Pokemon Sw/Sh?

We're the consumers - the buyers. They're making this product for us to buy, often using our nostalgia and enthusiasm for the series against us. These games mean a lot to us - they were a part of our childhoods, they helped us escape when things were tough, brought us joy, and we came together to places like this and made friends over our love of the series. We would be justified in being upset if we were manipulated into paying for a game that's pretty but ultimately half baked. Nintendo had net profits over 10 billion dollars last year.

This. I cannot stress this enough. If a game looks good, that's great. Take some screenshots. Post them. Whatever. But the gameplay can still suck. It can still be a repetitive mess.

I edited my post to reflect this point, lol

They couldn't even use that excuse for Sw/Sh, it looks like a 3DS game.

This trainwreck thread is at the point of burning rubble, straight up political debate over a game hasn't fully released yet yo haha.

People who have actually played the game gave it a 91 metacritic score which is very good and the highest AC ever had. Most if not all of the reviews I read said there is a ton of stuff to do and that this is the best iteration of AC so far. No claims so far of it feeling unfinished or incomplete (unlike Pokemon) so no I don’t believe it’s unfinished.
I personally believe a lot of the missing items will be added in via updates or patches but even if it’s not, I’ll save my critique for after actually playing the game and weighing out whether the new features outweighs the cut content or how far that cut content influences my overall enjoyment of the game.

Ooh I wanted to add on to this that many of the reviews I have seen, half the things they were "not allowed to mention". I speculate there are probably many features that us players wanted for ages and that Nintendo is waiting to share with us.

Eh. Now that 90s kids have grown up, got jobs, and are being good little consumers, companies like Nintendo have realized they can make a lot of money by selling our nostalgia for our childhoods back to us. Sw/Sh was a good example of that from Nintendo - but look at the revival of 90's products and media in general. Comic book heroes, fast fashion, all these movie/TV reboots no one asked for hahaha

There is a big difference here. Gamefreak does not make Animal Crossing. So, just because Pokemon Sword and Shield is questionable at the moment, doesn't mean that Animal Crossing will be. Plus the early reviews between the two games are vastly different. New Horizons seems to be getting a ton of positive attention while Pokemon was generation critique by not feeling finished and just being the same ol' same ol.

 

[LunaLight]

I’m not too worried. I’ve been waiting on this game for years and I know Nintendo has put in so much into it. I know there will be as much if not more stuff than New Leaf.

Yeah, ultimately I think Game Freak is what's holding back Pokemon currently. I wonder if Nintendo shouldn't attempt to reclaim ownership of the franchise from them and Creatures. They still made a killing on the game, though, and so do all of the other companies that pull blatantly anti-consumer crap like EA.
