Garbage

This game looks like such shit yet I'm absolutely baffled people don't seem to think so.

Much better than that for sure. They're literally the largest singular franchise on Earth, and they should have enough experience to make a game way better looking than that without sacrificing performance. Not sure if this was GF or another studio, but everything they've put out for the Switch has been lackluster in many ways. GO might be the only exception where I don't remember anything particularly off, but they also only had to make like 180 models or something like that.

That. If I were a Nintendrone I'd be thankful it's not a slideshow based from the video on OP. Also, that boss (?) fight seems.. what's the word.. Repetitive as fuck. Both of you spamming a single attack?

While I personally don't care about graphics since I care more about frame rate and gameplay, the Switch's hardware is NOT the reason the graphics are subpar. The Switch could handle better. But again, it doesn't bother me too much anyway.

People in this topic justifying the publisher not giving the devs more money/time to make the game better. Defending the corporation.

I guarantee the devs wanted to make that area and the whole game better, but did not have the time to do it. Don't defend it, let's all tell Nintendo to give their devs more resources.

I have actually been putting off an Oblivion replay for quite some time now, and seeing how shit this Arceus game is turning out is as good an excuse an any to remedy that.

Legends Arceus and it's failings are a product of Game Freak.

It's kind of fun to envision this as Sony, beaten senseless and thrown into the wastes to expire by Microsoft happening upon not an oasis, but some sub par graphics it can use as fuel for another diatribe about how graphics are more important than gameplay and how Nintendo needs more games where you walk slowly to disguise loading.
Checking over its shoulder after every other sentence to see if the shadow of buyer's remorse is still politely waiting to continue its approach.

What are they doing with most of the fanchises profits if they arent utilizing it on improving their games quality and presentation?

I'm honestly baffled at this and have no idea what their doing. I guess we're just going to have to wait for the old farts in charge to die to hopefully see change.

Iwata wasn't ever a gamefreak employee. His work on GS was basically pro Bono because they were too incompetent to do it themselves.

We reached the point where it's not technology that's the main issue, it's art, design, and the TIME required to make something look realistic.

Or that people still lap them up while bitching about how bad they are.

Might want to check out other Switch games before agreeing with someone who claims the console can't do any better.
