I remember a message hack could potentially brick your console, it's not like the PS4's coding was completely up to par. Switch has save hacks too, as far as I'm aware. Games causing fuckups with a hacked console is entirely on the person doing it, what's inexcusable is that this issue is happening on non-hacked Switches.
The message thing wasn't tied to any specific game software though. It was the OS entirely which did it. That was fixed by a patch, this is more or less based with Pokemon not playing nice with the switch's hardware and it being coded poorly. It's going to take way more than a patch to fix.
 
So IGN is really scrambling after being caught blatantly lying to readers about their 9.3 score. This is eye gougingly painful to read. There is no way, in any dimension, that Sword & Shield takes 40+ hours to complete the main story. There no way they didn't notice the huge list of graphical errors going on in the game. It seems they are doubling down on the models being new, then saying it doesn't matter anyway. This has to be the most pathetic article I've ever read, you'd think they'd at least shut up about they're fake reviews.

That last part is not a joke, this dumb bitch actually thinks people having different opinions and game experiences than her is a form of psychological abuse.

At this point the nerd crew is much less an parody and more an under exaggeration of what these podcasts are like
 
I actually like Casie most episodes but the amount of hoops she has to crawl through to support taking away the Pokemon she's been using for the past ten years is amazingly ridiculous. Like I like the game, but its got obvious flaws that they don't mention. Even GameXplain was uncucked enough to have a guy on to say that it felt like you could beat the game by walking forward and pressing A repeatedly.
 
Maybe it's just my impression, but from the opinions of the "moderate ones" I've seen on social media a lot of the people buying this didn't play the 3ds games and jumped from black and white to these switch ones.

They should have called the games Pokemon Train Wreck and Pokemon Dumpster Fire
I assume the possible third version will be Pokemon Plane Crash.

Focus your eyes on the apes back, the laziness is legendary.
I wonder how much focus it was on testing the game on with some of these problems and errors because it looks half-assed.
 
They purposefully decreased the size of Wailord so that using gigantomax or whatever it's called looks like something on him.
