I wasn't too impressed with Sw/Sh and I'm seeing a lot of the same complaints and more from capital-G Gamers and normal ass people alike.

Terrible performance, shitty animations (if they exist at all), lackluster open world, no more building interiors, missing features.

Is it even worth dropping $60 on this or is it just another shameful cashgrab? Strongly considering just picking up Legends Arceus as people seemed to really like that game and its fresh mechanics.

    I swore off Pokemon before Sword & Shield released so I'm a certified hater at this point. However, my partner still likes Pokemon and had this to say after playing six hours of the new game:

    6/10 ignoring performance. 2/10 including performance issues. I am actually really bummed and disappointed. Had more fun playing shield. The open world is cool but… there’s so much missing, and the performance issues are seriously horrific
