I ain't shaming you. Am just disappointed you can't see just how lazily this game was made.
You don't think there's a problem when a sequel to anything is factually worse than the prequels?
Still, enjoy yer game, see ya in a few years when the next one are worse than SnS.
Gonna play some Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth instead.
There's stuff I kinda disagree with - mainly that the game is "factually worse" or that devs were actively lazy - but my main gripe with said attitude is how it implies that some fans are superior than the others, and how simply enjoying the game turns into some weird responsibility.
Like, what does it even mean, "We complain loudly because we care"? Are you trying to say that other fans don't care enough if they don't complain about things that primarily bother you? That they should actively dislike the product they actually like because the act of genuinely liking a product is a sign of "not caring"? That a game can't be enjoyed in spite of its flaws, and that you absolutely need to take a side, and not doing so will make you "an uncaring fan who eats this up"? That an actual and caring fan can't have a nuanced and personal opinion on the new release? I know I'm exaggerating and being nitpicky, but I can frankly poke for hours at why I just don't like the "You're too blind/naive" kind of mentality, especially with highly subjective pieces of media. It's just kinda gatekeeper-ish and doesn't benefit the fandom at all.
On a personal side, I do agree that it could expand on some features more, but I mainly was sold by: new cool pokemon designs, the camping/cooking aspect, strong multiplayer base, wild area. The game delivered on all of those expectations, so I'm happy with it. Cyber Sleuth may be an "objectively" better game, but it doesn't have anything going for my tastes, and I dislike its monster designs. And, well, it's kinda why putting things through perspective instead of claiming people as "too dumb to realize the flaws" matters. I see the cons, but pros outweigh for me, and I'm not a "dumber" or "inferior" fan for enjoying the game I got.
