  • Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a significant reimagining of what makes a Pokémon game, with an exciting level of flexibility that's only slightly hampered by a slow early-game grind.
    Game Freak and Nintendo's Pokémon Legends: Arceus will be available on Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022. You can read the full written Pokémon Legends: Arceus review by Steve Watts on GameSpot: www.gamespot.com/reviews/poke...

    Hey All! Thank you so much for checking out our video review. I wanted to note a few things:
    You might notice some parts of the frame on certain shots had to be blurred, or that there are a lot of gameplay clips that are repeated. This is due to Nintendo's particularly strict embargo which dictated we could only show certain "approved" Pokemon, areas, quests, or even characters. As the video editor, I would have loved to show you guys so much more of the gameplay I captured so far but this is just the nature of the industry! What I can say is that after launch we will be able to show so much more, so DEFINITELY stay tuned cause we got some great content for Pokemon coming your way!
    I personally have been having a blast playing and I hope you guys do too!

      Yes, but then gamespot loses out on views because they waited instead of putting it out the same day as other reviews (IGN, GI, Nintendo Life). People are more hype about reviews before the game drops than they are the day it comes out. Majority goes straight to let's plays the day a game drops compare to reviews the day of.
      That's my educational guess on why.

    The game’s performance struggles shouldn’t be blamed on “hardware limitations”. We should be able to call it what it really is without the sugarcoating. There are other games on this console that are more visually striking while offering much larger open worlds than what is on offer here and yet they run just fine.

This might be ambitious for a Pokémon game, but for the industry in general this isn't anything groundbreaking

    The dodging and real time action, so long as it’s good, is a huge gamer changer for me. I always thought Pokémon was dying to have real time action in it. If you were actually in a world where Pokémon existed, you probably would get attacked by big scary aggressive wild Pokémon as you explored, and you would have to dodge and roll and run away, or battle them. This feels much more like the anime or the manga, and that’s what I’ve been waiting for with Pokémon. The graphics don’t look amazing, but I also think they are better than people are giving them credit for. I really just wish they would stop the yearly Pokémon games, this could look like 10 times better if they’d had another year to polish stuff. I don’t usually buy Pokémon games when they come out, but I think I’m gonna pick up this one. Even if it’s not the most beautiful visually, I think the gameplay is gonna set this Pokémon game apart from the rest. Let’s hope this is the new direction that will save Pokémon (well it always sells well so it doesn’t need to be “saved” but the last 4? 5? 6? games have been terrible

      I strongly disagree that most of the modern games have been terrible I think Ultra Sun & Moon is one of the best games in the series honestly with the memorable characters and new ideas it brought to the series with regional variants and trials instead of gym battles. The Gen 3 remakes were also really good in my opinion X & Y and Sword & Shield were good but not amazing the only recent Pokémon game I have mixed feelings on is Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.

    Glad to hear the new mechanics are largely well implemented. One of the more frustrating conversations I see cropping up is the complaint that Pokemon never makes substantial formula changes, while simultaneously arguing that changing the core loop is a "betrayal" of Pokemon's base concept.
    For what it's worth it looks like these new mechanics are going to be a lot of fun to play around with and I like the idea of the dodge/deploy/counterattack style "boss" fights. Feels like it might play out like a simplified Monster Hunter.

    • @hopefulmayhem5744
      @hopefulmayhem5744 2 роки тому +13

      These aren't mutually exclusive. You can maintain the core game play loop and still make substantial changes and improvements to the game.
      Look no further than Pokémon Collosium and Pokémon DX which both are significantly different than the mainline series but still use the main game play loop.
      For example they could allow for 3 type Pokémon, dual type moves, build entire game around doubles battles(see above).
      The idea that you have go to a let's go style game to advance the Pokémon formula is kinda ridiculous.

      I've felt the same way. I was born in 1987 so Red, Blue, and Yellow were games I was playing constantly from 11 on. But I'm 34 now, I've been craving something that blends the old with the new, and nothing has made me want to buy anything. Have you tried it out yet? I feel like our experiences are similar so I'd be interested in your take on it.

Hopefully the next Switch and Game Freak can give us a better game.

    That’s a nice score for a game that’s at least trying to be innovative in its core concept while still being what we love about the Pokémon series. I still hope to have it on my Switch after I get Rune Factory 5 for my birthday in March. This year’s gaming is going to be interesting to say the least.

    When throwing a pokéball, does the game allow for precision controls by moving the Switch/joycons themselves? Similar to how you can aim with the bow in BotW.

    Pokémon Legends: Arceus is very different from the other past Pokemon games because sometime a trainer need to dodge a wild Pokemon's attack instead the usual Pokemon battle to weaken a wild Pokemon before catching it. Watch some of the video on UA-cam of how to dodge even the legendary Pokemon like Palkia, Dialga, Giratina and Arceus is really hard as it reminds me one of Nintendo sitch games like Zelda and Mario.

  • @IOwnKazakhstan

    t's advertised that you can move around in battle but then when you are actually deciding what to do you can't move. Same as with the pokeballs. There's no point in walking around, even if you walk in front of the pokemon when they attack nothing happens because you can't take damage from them, you can get knocked over but you don't actually take damage. Making the whole mechanic useless aside from taking photos. Not sure why you would wanna take photos of the mostly empty landscape but alr.

      Funny how you think the billions The Pokemon Company makes goes to developing games. Gamefreak only has a certain amount of time to get games ready.

You can't blame this games graphics and performance on the switch at all. If Game Freak isn't given enough time to properly optimize their game then that is their fault. TPC knows they can pump out unpolished games and it will still sell millions. The switch is graphically/performance wise, capable of much more than what Game Freak has ever released or developed. Quit being a game freak apologist.

      There is no open world in this game. The region is split into 5 separately loaded wild areas that you access through a mission hub (Jubilife) similar to Monster Hunter. You wont find any random quests out in these maps either, you get all of your story missions and side tasks at the hub village for the most part. You unlock the areas one by one by progressing through the story missions.

    I really liked it, it may not be a graphic masterpiece but it's a lot of fun, the changes are positive, and because they are positive, they tend to stay and be improved in the future. Do not take seriously the opinion of those who have not played and simply say that it is not worth it because of the graphics (you can be sure that if someone said that the game is not good because of the graphics that person did not play). Go play and see how fun the game is.
    It's an important step for franchising. They've been trying to evolve a 25 year series and they're on the right track, thinking so Pokemon Legends Arceus can almost be called a successful draft. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the franchise, who doesn't play pokemon and doesn't have the weight of nostalgia probably won't be enchanted by the game.
