TopicSo what exactly is bad about Pokemon Sword and Shield?

I was enjoying it a lot for the first half (despite being quite disappointed about the Dex cut), but then a little after halfway through it becomes amazingly obvious that they were told the game needed to ship in time for the holidays and had to cut probably like 50% of the planned content for the second half of the game. In a particularly bad example, the town for the 7th gym is literally just a Pokecenter and the gym.

Same. Great way of putting it. That's exactly why I don't think FFVII and OoT and the like will ever be replaced for people in our generation.

I think this is going to become all the more common as millennials start losing more and more free time to real life.
Yeah I played OoT after MM (and I think not until the Master Quest rerelease) and always had it around the middle of my Zelda rankings. Wouldnt be surprised if it was a lot higher if my parents had relented and let me get a console a few years earlier.

Do they stay shiny when they evolve? Are shiny pokemon stronger? This is the first shiny I've caught. Is there something cool to them other than just being rarer?
Yes, no, no

(and yeah it sounds like you got a shiny).

FFs:

5 > 6 > 9 > 12 > 4 > 10 > 1 > 8 > 13 > 2 > 3

Or something. 3's ranking is only based on the DS version (which I have heard is worse than the NES version). I have shamefully never gotten past disk 1 of 7 (despite starting the game like five times) so I can't rank it, and I've only played like four hours or something of 15.

I really question this theory that the Comey letter had much of an effect. That movement in the polls could have just been Republican and independent voters finally facing the reality that Donald Trump was their only way to avoid a Hillary Clinton presidency. And they made the inevitable choice when faced with that horrible prospect.
There was a very sharp change in the polls (several points) immediately after the Comey letter, and no other drastic such change in the week before or after. Obviously its impossible to definitively prove that it was decisive, but I think the evidence for that conclusion is pretty strong (indeed, stronger than for other things which conceivably were also decisive but which stretched out over the whole campaign, like sexism or the actions of the Russians).

Hilary led him the same way.
And Hillary would have won if not for the Comey letter. Trump was elected very narrowly (by like 70000 votes across three states). I think you can certainly make a case for Trump having an over 50% chance, but totally dismissing the fact that he's significantly down in head to head general election polls strikes me as being pretty similar to the pundits that ignored the actual polling in 2016 (which had Trump down by 3% and with an electoral college edge. And surprise surprise, he lost the popular vote by two with an EC edge!)

Everything the Democrats have done in the last 6 months has only made him more popular. You cant go by then vocal minorities that overrun places like Reddit or Current Events here on gamefaqs. Trump is the heavy favorite.
He can definitely win, but I dont see the case for calling him a heavy favorite when Biden (whos leading the Dem primary race) consistently outpolls trump by the high single digits in head to heads.

7 is definitely not a game that Id try to pitch to someone as their first DQ; its very divisive!
Its my favorite game of all time, though. 5, 8, and 11 are indeed the games that Id guess have the broadest appeal.

Also 5 is definitely shorter than 50 hours and 8 and 11 are longer

Actually, lets see...
7 > 6 > 5 > 8 > 4 > 3 > 9 > 2 > 1

But I love all of them. Need to go back and finish the postgame in 11 before I rank it, but itll probably go either before or after 8.

I've made too many dumb purchases this year on games to really regret any single one. Finding unexpected diamonds like 428 Shibuya Scramble and CrossCode, or falling for older games I'd never heard of like Risen or never been recommended like Dragon Quest VI, has made the whole thing worth it still.

Always glad to hear that someone enjoyed DQ VI...! It's my second favorite game in the series, personally!

To more directly answer you, Russia has made it extremely clear that they want to sit atop of the world order, and have decided that it's easier to tear down everyone else than to build themselves up. It's literally their goal to destroy the west.

yeah AA7 is a real question mark thanks to the 3DS going away. I feel a strong sense of loss when it comes to dedicated sub-HD platforms because a lot of games were able to get by with low development budgets that kinda can't do that anymore, especially ones that took advantage of two screens. one game I'm getting to today is going to feel that particularly hard.
Definitely agree with this (also the regular Switch is not actually portable, and from what Ive read about account sharing with a Switch Lite it seems... less than ideal)
