How many of you are going to actually purchase the games before waiting for the reviews and encourage the mediocrity that TPC keeps getting rewarded for?
>>25605830
None of us, probably. Odds are, neither will you.>>25605830
Everyone, what are you a fucking baby who depends on others opinions and can't form your own?
Or worse: poor.
These are the last games I'm getting new if I can
If they blow like Gen VI, it's used from now on
>>25605830
why dont you work yourself up the ladder of gamefreak so that your input has some weight and its going to people who have the actual power to take your ideas into consideration?
>>25605851
Sorry, meant ALL of us. Read the wording wrong.
>>25605859
It's not about being poor. It's about wasting my time and building up my hopes for a mediocre game.
>Review scores only matter when games I don't like get bad scores and games I like get good scores!
Every time. Without fail.
I'm confident GF will put a bit more effort into S/M due to the 20th anniversary pressure

everything is going to suck more and more the older you get
>>25605971
nice reaching
>buying games
>>25605926
You'll be a day one pre-order just like everyone else.
Unless you truly are poor. In which case, you have no place here.
>>25606003
>reaching
>OP is specifically stating that he won't get the games if they get a bad review score
Yeah, I'm definitely reaching.
>>25606018
Did I say that I'd decide based on a singular score? I just want to read/watch a few detailed reviews before deciding for myself if it's worth playing.
>>25605851
>>25605859
>>25605865
>>25606008
Th 3DS is hacked there is LITERALLY no reason for any of you to buy this.
>>25606018
That has nothing to do with what you said.
I am. Does that trigger you?
>>25605830
I'm buying both at launch, I don't give a fuck about reviews and most definitely don't care about them when it comes to Pokemon games. This series has been my favorite since I was 4 or 5 and got Red and I've bought them on launch date since Black and White released. Everyone on here constantly says that X and Y/ORAS were shit but I personally don't think so, they were good games and even though I don't like Hoenn I still enjoyed ORAS. So no, I'm not waiting for reviews and I don't think these games will be mediocre.
>>25605830
These games are my last hope that Gamefreak can be saved.
I swore Alpha Sapphire would be my last game, but I can't get off of this ride.
I want them to be good so badly. I don't want to be disappointed again.
>>25605830
Half the time I disagree with critics whether it be for movies or for video games, so why would I pay attention to reviews?
>>25606040
>no-one buys it
>game is a commercial flop with zero sale
>game could be the best of all time, but Pokemon dies because Gamefreak refuses to make another game
Great idea retard. Lets all pirate every game ever so no new games will ever be made.
>>25606040
>digital copies of pokemon games
How about no. If I lost or broke my 3DS with all of my Pokemon on it I'd be mad as hell.
>>25605830
>Purchase
day 1 pirate boyo
>>25606008
The anon you replied to is retarded but Preorder Day 1 was February 27th. I'm sure you meant "once we get more information" though.
>>25606088
>4 people not buying SM=The Franchise dies
Too bad that 15 million other people will buy it. Just because the 3DS is hackable and has like 3 flashcarts doesn't mean every single 55 million 3DS users use CFW or flashcarts.
When it comes to piracy only like 1-3% of users account for it.
>>25606115
retarded because my time is somewhat valuable?
/vp/ is less trustworthy than all the memetastic review websites you regularly take a steamy shit on in /v/ threads
There has never been a bad pokemon game.
>>25606169
>>25606138
I'm not poor, so I don't have to bother with prating shit.
If you don't want to 'reward' a company for releasing a so called 'bad' game, how's about not bothering with it at all?
>>25605830
Because reviews are garbage and mostly fueled by ad money.
>>25606181
Loved that game as a kid. The voice recognition kind of sucked, but aside from that it was really fun.
>>25606191
>U only pirate bcuz ur poor
literally the funniest scapegoat for dumbasses too dumb to be able to pirate.
I can afford any game I want, I just mostly pirate just because I can. I'd rather spend my money on more meaningful hobbies or invest with my money. I only buy games if I have no other option or if the publisher is also the developer and they are an independent
>>25606138
>Th 3DS is hacked there is LITERALLY no reason for any of you to buy this.
This argument could encompass literally everyone with a 3ds. Bad advice is bad advice.
Besides, who the fuck can afford a 3DS and NOT a game for it? The only poorfags with an excuse not to buy the game wouldn't be able to afford a 3DS either.
>>25606227
So in short you are fucking scum.
Literally the only two reasons that are acceptable for pirating is A) the game has no demo, so you want to try before you buy, or B) it is abandonware.
>>25605830
I don't care about reviews.
>>25605830
I've learned my lesson. Pirate first, buy if I like it.
I'm not talking about worshipping the IGN type reviews. I just want to know what the GP thinks.
>>25606253
You mean the only two reasons YOU find it acceptable.
>>25606256
You don't care for arbitrary point systems.
Reviews are still good for understanding someones perspective on aspects of the game you might be curious about.
Point systems have just become a cheap excuse to not bother reading the actual reviews.
>>25605830
$40 is not a huge deal. Of course I'm preordering this children's game
>>25606275
Agreed. Pirate first, buy if, I like it.
>>25606294
I don't care about Reviews.
I just buy the games, since It's Pokémon.
>>25606287
No, those are literally the only acceptable reasons. Everyone I know agrees.
(Although copies of games you own pirated as backups is a legal method IIRC, but pirating implies not owning the original game.)
>>25606355
>my opinion is the only acceptable opinion
just lol
>>25606355
And what if I just dont want to waste money on a game I know I'm not going to put many hours into?
>>25606355
>everyone I know agrees
They're up for preorder on Amazon and I already did, faggot.
Who the fuck even listens to game review sites, they're a joke.
And someone has to buy the game at launch so the rest of you fags can get your opinions from other anons
I will wait a few months. Till Summer maybe when I have time to play the thing. I am still getting it regardless of reviews. But fuck paying €60 for a game at launch when it will be €20 a few months later. It's how I stay not-poor.
>>25605830
It's Pokemon, man. Even the shitty games are enjoyable.
>>25606377
Not an opinion. In my opinion it isn't acceptable to pirate at all. However it is accepted by many to pirate for the reasons I gave.
>>25606398
Don't play it, duh. If you are going to only play an hour or two, it isn't even worth downloading.
>>25606400
I have yet to find anyone outside of poorfags that disagrees. Thats a lot of people.
>It's ok to steal something cause someone else is going to buy it anyway
Here's the thing, if you're going to pirate, fine, go nuts. People do it, it's a thing that happens.
But at least recognise its a bit of a prickish thing to do. I mean I've pirated a fuck ton of shit in my time, no regrets, but I'd never consider my actions to be in any way morally acceptable.
I mean it's literal theft.
>Hurr they've got loads of money, they won't miss it in the grand scheme of things
To a nigger who lives in a mud hut in some shit show African country, you've got loads of money and wouldn't miss some if it went missing. Would you say it would be ok for them to steal from you? Nah you'd kick off and you fucking know it.
Who even reads reviews for Pokemon games, Autists that's who
>>25606867
This.
>>25605830
>Purchase
Come on m8, you can downgrade any 3DS now
>>25606867
Well, piracy and theft are not the same thing, but that doesn't make it "ok".
>>25605830
I already preordered both
>>25605830
I will probably buy the digital version on launch day
I'll probably get both(especially if there's a good preorder bonus for doing so) but the one I PLAY first will probably depend on version exclusives.
I'm waiting until a month after launch.
>>25607894
It's theft of intellectual property though isn't it?
>>25607917
Same
>>25607954
So is downloading or watching illegally uploaded porn. Doesn't stop anyone.
>>25606008
I haven't bought a game new since Crystal. Not gonna start now.
>>25605971
I don't read reviews for scores, I read them for information. Mechanics changes, etc. The problem is, not a lot of reviewers are looking for the same things I am.
>>25607968
Never said it did mate, If you actually read the post.
