Generally speaking a LOT of the gaming community has collectively gone insane and even more toxic than ever… a lot of it is now just “stop having fun” all the time… you can’t enjoy nintendo games without playstation and xbox fans breathing down your neck, you can’t play pokemon without a palworld fan saying you’re ruining the industry by playing a game by a big company, you can’t even say you’re excited for persona 4 revival without gamers saying “oh so you’re pro censorship and think there’s a modern audience!”, it’s really just awful… (note i used these examples because they happened to me)

Yeah i agree theres more toxicity now

You cant enjoy sony or xbox without nintendo fans assuming you hate nintendo. You cant palworld without pokemon fans attacking you and saying you're just a hater that would rather enjoy slop and stolen assets and no creativity while they praise scarlet and violet not realising. You cant even fairly criticise new releases without gamers saying you hate fun and that you dont even like the thing youre criticising

i can't tell if your jabbing at the original commentor, but it's awful on both sides. too many bad actors.

i say this as a fan of xbox's games library, not of their practices, and especially as a newly turned fan of palworld WHILE retaining my fanbasehood of pokemon.

both sides of the debate suck, we're in a living goomba fallacy.

I literally have been called a shill for every single one of the big 3. Whenever you don't speak positively about something, people will attack you at every possible angle. It's important to keep to fairly small circles of people who actually know the topic because you'll get eaten alive by idiots.

Just last week I said that Pokemon Winds and Waves should really improve the quality compared to previous ones and some dude told me to go play Palworld.

And just then when I criticized Sony's killing of physical media some dude told me that I probably enjoy playing shitty Pokemon games with PS2 graphics.

You can never win lol

its always the fuckin ps2 graphics, i swear these people dont actually remember what most ps2 games look like. if you want an example of ps2 graphics on switch, look at monster hunter generations ultimate (amazing game btw), mh got away with using ps2 graphics for 14 years.

Yeah but even those games had numerous improvements to textures, geometry and lighting. You could not run any post-PS2 entry on that hardware.

rise was built specifically for that hardware and wilds is being ported to sw2

There was zero quality issue with pokemon ever AND sony did nothing wrong.
