For those that have seen or tried the game, what do you think of the state of it?
I'm disappointed in the pokemon company for how it is at base game. I thought a big release like this would be higher quality. It has tons to offer but the frame rate makes it hard to enjoy enjoy moving around in the environment. To me that's the biggest problem right now. It looks fine when standing still, but it doesn't feel 30fps at all when moving around, and there's tons of dips everywhere, it's weird.
The textures look worse than I thought too (I'm usually not too picky), I thought it would look fine but it feels worse than gamecube textures right now, and the shadows act up too. (i know they lowered the quality to manage the open world, but still) And some of the textures in the world sometimes just pop out of nowhere, not a smooth fading in.
It just feels very unpolished. Even when throwing out a pokemon in the field, it appears way later than the animation of the pokemon opening up, I don't understand how that could go through testing when it's so obvious and looks bad.
I'm sure there's lots of strengths to the game and I don't want to say it's just bad since it isn't, but it's glaring enough how these things are, at least to me.
I hope that a day 1 patch could somehow fix a lot of it, and I'll still play it (I pre-ordered it) but the performance feels underwhelming for sure to me.
Thoughts?
