"what if, and hear me out on this one guys, for the next shenmue we DIDNT realize the reason shenmue is loved by so many people is because it was a massive technical leap forward and instead thought it was for the actual game, so we make the game on a shoe-string budget and dont even have the balls to finish the story?"

"yeah that sounds good"

the severs in this game are to die for

this game is straight up THE REASON to buy a switch.

go spam your basic attack on a horde of enemies for 3 hours dickface

the only open world game to live up to its massive scope. a world full of endlessly interesting, boundless creative missions with great rpg and progression systems, along with tons of varied ideas while still fitting into the box of a barren wasteland.

the only problems with this game are that its made off of a bethesda engine so it has stiff combat and a lot of glitches.

other than that, i really cant recommend this game enough.

the gameplay in this game is SO GOOD but the levels are SO repetitive. probably just about the most disappointing game ive ever played.

this game arguably has more interesting glitches than pokemon red, having its own set of glitch pokemon for you to find. though a lot is patched in this game, it's still a complete buggy disaster.

and i love it.

probably just the easiest game to instantly corrupt ever. grab a copy and just see how quickly you can break it without doing something obtuse like powering off at a specific interval during a save.

like, i know this game was rushed to shit and is an incredibly impressive game for the hardware its on but holy fuck game freak, how do you fuck up a game this badly?

(review for the english release of pokemon red, not the japanese one)

this game is fucking abysmal. so why do i give it a 9? well, it probably has the most interesting glitches of any game ive ever played because of just how blatantly unfinished the entire game is.

so, good job game freak.

play on set mode for maximum effect. hands down the greatest pokemon game ever.

play this game on challenge mode with set mode turned on, its the best pokemon game made by game freak.

tough as nails. though the edgy humor really isnt great, and completely impossible to ignore, this game rocks in every other way.

dont doubt my opinion on this game i have 795 hours in it
