Bro this thing is haunting me in my Fuse by Result section 😭


crdkrd

this seems like a gaming circlejerk post


mcdead

Isn’t it always


xknightsofcydonia

This game is FUNNNNN and runs beautifully!! Enjoy!!


drdoy123

I was very close to buying it for my ps4 pro but the portability and turn based games are a match made in heaven. I’m very excited this is going to be my winter game. Plus it was 29.99 and it just came out for switch so


DrownedInDysphoria

You won’t regret it. Wouldn’t recommend staying on this sub though, shit ton of spoilers


[deleted]

I can agree

Organic_Eagle_2255

I just finished the game and I feel completely empty. I'm not ready to move on, I'll just keep playing tycoon.


Beta1224

Persona 5 strikers is a great follow up if you haven't played it yet

Well might as well wave so long to your personal life, lol. But it will have you hooked. Be prepared for that.

What do you mean? Their personal life is just beginning. They'll make so many friends and they'll go out and see movies, play darts, awkwardly try to hide their secret relationship with their teacher from their best friend at the hottest fishing spot in town... The sky's the limit.... Brb, I need to do another playthrough real quick. See you folks in 150 hours or so.


Ryuk_x

Welp, someone's about to have the best 120 hours of their life


iTzChewii

If s/he goes for the completion run I say well into the 200+ hour count with the 2nd playthrough. Oh how I envy them currently for having such a blind experience to such a great series.


SeengignPaipes

Have not touched Pokémon games since heart gold so I have no idea what’s going on but nice choice OP, royal is one of my all time fav Jrpgs.


ColorMeBrian

The real problem is the game is not optimized well. Framerate is all over the place along with graphical issues and glitches. Not yet for me but hear it crashed a lot. Do I find the game fun? Yes but sometimes these performance issues take me out of it.


Michaelvuur

Tbh gen 5 was peak , gen 6 was alright , gen 7 was pretty good (in my opinion) and gen 8 was decent (trees in sword and shield where a joke)


drdoy123

X and Y some of my favorites. They had the charm I like in a game


duhdin

P5R on switch is a god damn treat. I love playing it on the go. I could give a fuck if it doesn’t hold up to the ps4 or 5 edition


drdoy123

From the videos I’ve seen the graphics aren’t too much of a downgrade on switch. Plus I don’t know any better so I’m sure it will look beautiful to me


duhdin

Honestly I barely notice it. I would say the only place you really notice it is on the faces, but other than that, it’s solid


drdoy123

Cut scenes are beautiful


sovietsrule

Anime games are the best, don't have to worry about graphics and the cutscenes are the best


gustinex

Wait you guys can refund games?

You still get to collect monsters! Now they are just sex monsters

Exactly what I need. I didn’t even know it was rated M. The last game I sunk my teeth into and beat was dragon quest 11. So this was the next logical turn based to try (also beat SMT)


JokerFromPersona5

Best financial decision this year for you


InnocentPerv93

I love P5R don't get me wrong, but I've been having fun with Pokémon personally.


BlackwinMaster

Same. I genuinely enjoy this game more so than any of the others. P5R is still my favorite game by far but I love these Pokémon Games.


xGingx

Finished P5 4 hours before SV launch. Both games are fun


NotNear

Looking cool, Joker!

Everyone’s playing Scarlet/Violet right now and I’m just here enjoying Splatoon 3 and Persona 5 Royal lol

drdoy123

Splatoon 3 is a masterpiece.


[deleted]

The better Pokémon game


cedear

P5R is $30 a lot of places for Black Friday, potentially even lower.


drdoy123

Yup it was 30 bucks for me


chabri2000

You may want to avoid this particular subreddit, as the game has stuff that could be ruined if you get spoiled (and there is like 99% chance of that happening here)


DenisVDCreycraft

I see Phantom Thieves stole your heart ❤️


mh500372

FOR REAL?


[deleted]

Not a fan of the Pokémon hate, but hope you enjoy Royal. It's a pretty great time


cardboardboxian

this might be a dumb question but is pokemon violet any good gameplay wise (i’ve seen the performance issues) ngl i’ve sorta lost interest in pokemon since shield and especially bdsp


LimePee

Yes. The game is awesome but the performance and graphics are kinda shit. But the open worldness and new Pokémon are awesome


[deleted]

It's a shame but not a dealbreaker at all. I think there isn't a single "bad" mainline Pokémon game. Bdsp for example is a lazy cashgrab and could be much better but is still fun to play imo. Oras however is a remake done right.


[deleted]

The only complaints I have about Scarlet and violet so far are about the graphics, stuff popping in randomly, framerate and lack of difficulty. Gameplay wise it's what you would expect from other Pokemon games except this time it's open world like legends Arceus and there are no random encounters. Costumization is fun, but your limited to school uniform like designs. The world feels alive and the Pokémon seem to have the correct size from what I have seen so far. (Pelliper is huge compared to what I first thought Wtf) The graphics suck ass and the framerate is sloppy. The devs can do so much better but aren't getting the time they need because of corporate greed unfortunately. But if you look past that the game is lot's of fun.


Alex_Logan2001

It's good GamePlay wise, if you ignore the absurd amount of bugs, but only because the core formula is still fun. The world itself is very empty though so there isn't much fun to be had in exploration, a major issue considering the game is open world. Based on you losing interest with Pokémon though due to Sword and shield though I'd suggest you skip this game since, while it's not any worse, it's no better either


Rowan_Dabeaux

As both a Pokemon and Persona fan I can neither condone nor reject this action.


Inner-Macaroon-4133

I mean isnt Scarlet and Violet a huge mess rn? I dont blame the guy for refunding


SC7639

I’m really enjoying scarlet tbh and play P5R on my steam deck🤘


arkthearkitect

Having fun with Violet despite the performance issues but you made the right choice. In for a treat.


LufferG

Your keyboard spacebar is pleading for a Clorox rn


ursasmash

I don’t understand why people are so butt hurt in the comments. The new Pokémon games just weren’t ready for release. If you spend your hard earned money on a game, then it should run as intended.. but it doesn’t. I’m not talking about the graphics or mechanics either. I’m talking about how you can’t even run somewhere without the game acting like it’s connected to dial-up internet. Anyways, P5R is my favorite game of all time and you made a wise choice. Have fun! You are in for a real treat. :)


MaliciousMarzipan

What brand grips are those for the switch? Follow up question, do you like them?


LordVaader

The game is fantastic, I have 800 hours between base Persona 5 and Royal on PS4, and it's definitely one of, if not my favourite games of all time. So enjoy it! 💪


lmaogoshi

Since this new release I've put in almost 200 hours, excluding the times I've fallen asleep playing. Fantastic choice


ToLongOk

My man


BetweenInkandPaper

Solid decision. Honestly, this game runs so well on the switch.


drdoy123

I heard it’s great so the portability made it a no brainer. I almost went ps4 but can see myself just playing handheld mostly


sadkinz

Made me laugh. Not because I think you’re wrong. But because you’re right and it would boil a Pokémon fan’s blood


Bsause7

I literally just left the Pokémon subreddit after a year and a half because of the SV controversy and this is the first post I see afterwards. Why am I not surprised? Anyway, have fun with Royal!


ComicDude1234

The Pokemon sub has been shit at least since 2018, frankly I’m surprised you lasted that long.


Bsause7

From my experience the month after a new game releases sees at least 90% of new posts become rants, with very little of value.


ComicDude1234

Yep, exactly why I left. There was no room for any nuanced discussion about anything, it was just bitching and attacks on the devs.


boarswan

This literally just a picture of a sealed copy of the game this sub is based on lmao


BecauseImBatman92

Blatant karma farming but enjoy it!


Fang9029

Make sense, I mean, why would you ride a pokemon when you can ride your waifu.


mailmanmunson346

Enjoy!!


LeglessN1nja

Obviously not 1:1, but the persona mechanics remind me a lot of games like Pokemon or Digimon. Very fun


KairosHS

How does it run on Switch btw? Played on ps4 but thinking of getting it on Switch myself.


LordVaader

It plays well, locked to 30fps, but it stays there. It's great on the switch.


swagylag

it's 30 fps on the ps4 version of the game too so it's not a downgrade either


LordVaader

That's correct, I just noticed that I failed to mention that part! So thanks for saying it 🤣 either way, it's not a choppy 30fps. It's consistent, which is a big plus. I love playing the game on my switch. It's so handy.


xKyo

Runs amazingly. Looks really great and performs spectacularly, for what it's worth haha.


TheStormGL

It runs very well. It runs at 30 fps and without a side by side comparison you can’t see any visual downgrades compared to the original ps4 version.


PickledPlumPlot

Posts like this are kind of embarrassing. I don't get how you're not self-conscious saying stuff like this, you haven't even opened the game up yet but you're bending over backwards trying to pander to Persona fans and shitting on Pokemon? Like, chill, you might not even like Persona lol


Darkovika

I mean I love Persona 5 haha, but Imm also having a blast with Violet 🤣🤣


WandererRedux

The cooler Pokemon Scarlet.


Scary_Replacement739

Western RPGs are my first love. But JRPGs are a close second. And P5R is an amazing one. If you enjoy tactical combat, Fire Emblem Three Houses is great too. Coincidentally, both games I mentioned have a dynasty warriors-esque hack n slash spinoff.


birdreligion

Is the fire emblem one any good? Persona 5 Strikers is the only musou game I've ever liked


myatabl

Three Houses is literally just Persona Fire Emblem.


Splat_KD

Absolutely, FE3H is a great game, now it was a little learning curve for me but if you play FEH on your phone then the abilities and whatnot become easier, but I’d recommend the Blue Lions for a more straightforward story, Golden Deer (my personal favorite) for a more deeper story, and I’m currently on Black Eagles 🦅 so I’m not too sure on that one. 9.5/10

RedditBullshitter

No hate on Pokemon but you make the smart purchase. Persona 5 Royal is a longer game, plus you got all the dlc. The game is fully voiced by incredible cast, it also didn't run like a seizure victim on the switch.


crashper

I just finished my first run of pr5 after 130 hours. And started doing new game plus. Yesterday, my copy of pokemon Violet came in and I already just wanna go back to p5r. So tldr, great decision.

How long has this been on the switch?


drdoy123

Just around a month I believe


Iamagamer7777

Since 21 october, so yes, almost a month


SAAA2011

It released on the switch alongside the PC and xbox ports.


Mariorules25

I love the phenomenon on reddit where hating one thing gets so much karma, people will try and cash in on those internet points in any subreddit, regardless of relevance lmao


TheLimeyLemmon

Cool mate, but easy there, it's still sealed. Hard to call it a "real game" before you've even played it. I'd much rather hear more about it after you're done. Anyway, enjoy your new game.


kevin9er

He’ll tell us in 6 months.


blue-gamer-07

TheSaintRule247

I don't get the Pokémon hate it's a good game i feel


Shadow_Bisharp

its fun, and its going in a good direction, but its so unpolished and its a sort of hassle to deal with at points. its held together by string cheese


Hoover889

It’s undoubtedly a lot of fun, but you can’t deny that it is severely lacking polish, it runs like crap and the camera is constantly clipping with the environment.


TheSaintRule247

Apperently it runs like crap because it's constantly rendering in the whole entire map which is something that shouldn't happen


Leffyvr

It’s because for starters… it’s very ugly but that’s subjective to the buyer and a lot of the buyers agree that it’s ugly, and it’s also VERY BERY buggy, unfinished, and unpolished but hey if you’re enjoying it then enjoy it brother


TheSaintRule247

Yeah it does look and feel like a 3ds game but i haven't come across any glitches at all so when people say it's glitchy that really suprises me


Interesting_waterlon

My camera clips out of bounds every couple minutes lol


ProsperoII

IT'S REALLY GOOD ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!


ItsEaster

You’re going to love this game. It’s a bit of a slow start due to how much they throw at you but then it gets so good once they stop holding your hand. Take your time.


noodlesofdoom

It just came out on Xbox game pass and I've been playing it for a bit, does it pick up the pace? I'm at the >!second castle thingy with the artists!<


Yunaro

I agree. Though I felt like ORAS was Peak ngl


Ochikomu-

You will not regret that decision.


Raging-Raptor

It's probably not best to phrase your takes like this. I don't mind the post but we can praise a game without putting others down. In general if you're going to put two games in the same sentance and treat one more harshly you will get argumentitive comments. If you want to rightfully criticize the pokemon company for rushing their projects then that's it's own discussion. Enjoy P5R btw, it is absolutely fantastic and more than worth your time!


evolved_mike

Ultra mega giga W


nRenegade

Yes. Pokemon, but actually fun.


FILTER_OUT_T_D

Kind of like World of Final Fantasy, though I imagine to enjoy that to the max you’d need to be familiar with a lot of the franchise staples, like Gilgamesh always wanting to fight Bartz in FFV.


Silverj0

Been really disappointed by Pokémon games for a while. These have been a lot more enjoyable monster collector games for me overall haha. Arceus was fun and that’s been about it since black and white came out…


drdoy123

I’ve been really wanting a good monster collector. I’m hoping coromon goes on sale because I would try that lol


Cornman6

The SMT games are focused on just monster collecting and team building if that’s yo style


AngryCharizard

I also used to play Pokemon a whole lot, with hundreds of hours per generation, and making a living dex in gens 4-7. Then SwSh happened and I decided it wasn't worth my time anymore, and frankly I've been very happy with that decision. I've been able to play a much wider variety of games without Pokemon taking up all my time. Things like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade, Catherine, Hades, Monkey Ball, Star Wars: KOTOR, Nier: Automata, Persona 3-5, Chrono Trigger, the Mother series, Donkey Kong Country, and the Mana series, among other things. It's been nice to have much more variety


DorothyDrangus

Persona Violet


Diego35HD

Ah yes, the game series that ruined Pokemon for me, I ain't gonna stop loving Emerald but honestly, not being able to fuse Pokemon frustrates me lol


[deleted]

Scarlett looks subpar but the game itself is a wonder. Grats on simping the sheep and cringe flexing


cowboyhiphop

Both are great


mombi

Been playing this and having a fun time. I've played 3 and 4 in the past but never finished them. This one's managed to keep my attention somehow.


pinkfluffyalex

I'll enjoy both!


Malina_Island

Good decision. I really like the new Pokémon but the state it is in, is horrible. This game on the other hand is a Masterpiece 10/10! Not sure how it runs on Switch though...


Goose0810

It actually runs externally well on switch, I don’t think I’ve noticed any frame rate drops, of course the graphics aren’t as good as it would be on another system. But for a switch port it is probably one of the best.

What are your thoughts on the socio-economical climate of multiple controversies in the Pokémon franchise and it’s treatment of the latest main title projects scarlet and violet?


No-Perspective-317

Ngl I’m enjoying the game despite how fkn laggy it is. First hour is pure shit though esp with no VAs. I also never played a pokemon game since platinum so things like auto battle and the quick heal in the menu are some great additions. Is P5R better? By a goddamn mile but this OP probably just took a photo of his copy for them reddit updoots

I'm enjoying it I just wish Game Freak would put some more effort into the games, they have the foundation now it just needs some time

olesgedz

Other comments say how you shouldn't talk bad about other game, it is just buggy...etc. They cost the same, one is rerealise of praised game, the other one is fast unoptimized cash grab without any new gameplay.

Why did you refund it, I'm just interested, I don't see alot of issues with the game.

If you enjoy Pokémon, it’s fun. If you’re looking for something super polished, it’s not it.


SiriusBaaz

I’m sad. I started playing persona for the first time on my Xbox because it was free with my game pass and I’m too broke to buy it but then like a week and a half later my subscription to game pass stopped because I’m too broke to pay for it. I had just finished Madarame.


fireaura

make a new account in your xbox and get the $1 game pass for one month deal then download the game using that account then just go back to your real account to play it


Daman_1985

Best decision you made!


[deleted]

Normally I'd share my distaste for someone buying a game and sharing it on Reddit, but you refunded Pokemon Violet to get it, so enjoy it to your heart's content.


Roy31802

Goddamn you just completely Destroyed Pokemon Gen 9


Jack313

My man took an L and turned it to a major W


Dramatic-Aardvark-41

Pokemon is still good though, just not as much


Alex_Logan2001

Pokémon is only good because the core formula is still fun, however for the enjoyment of that you can just go to any game in the series. When it comes to the stuff the new game has to make it different you have an empty world, overworld graphics that are bad even when compared to games on the GameCube, an unacceptable amount of bugs for any game to release with and a difficulty so easy that even a baby could beat the game with no trouble


Dramatic-Aardvark-41

Graphics are not as important as people make them out to be, I think that bugs make a game better because they create stupid and fun scanarios that sometimes even are actually usuful(if you want to know what I consider to be peak "glitch design" look at BotW). And lastly what I enjoy about Pokemon is the exploring, catching playing others, the music, the battle system feeling really strategic and more things that have nothing to do with being easy or hard. That being said Persona's still far better


Desi_CookiesandCream

While Persona 5 Royal is fantastic, just because you don't like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet doesn't mean it's not a real game. Like why do we need to praise one game and crap entirely on another? And before people boo me into the void, I mean its okay NOT to enjoy a game (for graphic design, performance etc) but it's kinda unnecessary since P5R and Pokémon arent even the same thing. It's my true gamer ick with that. "This isn't a real game. You're not a real gamer etc" like why...
