Critics are all casuals. That's why Sword and Shield are gonna get at least a 90 despite how shitty it fucking looks

I feel like there's one, singular autist, who is extremely butthurt this game (likely from his childhood) didn't review so well.
Carter Bennett
>childhood
this game is from 2009, so it would just be some autistic zoomer.
Camden Hughes
You know there's a whole pmd fanbase that finds that score hilariously stupid right? It's godhand ign tier.
Jaxson Reed
Yeah, exactly.
No, I don't know there's a whole fandom for this. I just know I've seen people seething over this game's score for years.

Michael King
So what are expecting shield and sword to get? i say at least an 86
Jeremiah Wood
Reminder that the composer is bankrupt
Wyatt Phillips
It’s mind blowing how critics just hate mystery dungeon.
>tfw never forget gamexplains review of super where they brought in a kid who said before that he hated mystery dungeon and started shitting all over mystery dungeon as a series
Ryder Bennett
>Metacritics
Who cares?
Anthony Brown
sun/moon got 87, so i would expect at least a 90
the next mystery dungeon be a much better game but receive a 65
Brody Wood
SPMD has the best dungeoncrawling of them all, tho.
Gates' partner has yet to be topped.
I think Gates' land development shit had potential but was half-assed. Should've worked more like castles in Suikoden.
As the sprites weren't super detailed in the first place I don't mind them being gone too much, though I do have fond memories of places like Deep Star Cave or the bleak futures.
Spinda's cafe is da bes.
Julian Garcia
Are you high? SPMD was literally the easiest pile of fuck ever with a shitty hand hold story and a terrible recruitment system.
Leo Morales
>terrible recruitment system
how much worse could it get?
Owen White
>easiest
lol no with the games anti grinding and how you barely get exp the game ends up stupid hard for all the wrong reasons
Lincoln Reed
Pokemon will never get 90+
Wyatt Hughes
No one also gave a shit about this god tier VN. People just have shit taste.

Not to say that recruiting wild Pokémon in the past was way way better, I just didn’t like how “predictable” and limited the recruitment system was in PSMD. My ideal recruitment system would be like negotiation in SMT, just engage in a conversation with the wild Pokémon and trade money and stuff from your treasure bag until they’re convinced in joining you ontop of the already established system of fighting them and leaving it up to chance for them to be recruited upon defeat.
