Now that the Teal Mask DLC has released for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, how’s your experience with the update?

I think my personal highlight are the new Pokémon designs and the overall vibe of the Kitakami region. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that they fixed at least some very few performance problems (boxes, people walking), even though the game itself still runs very, very poorly.

Can’t wait to hear what your experience is so far!

    Was optimistic when I heard that some* performance issues where addressed. Unfortunately it seems that the rest of the game is still plagued with issues, with a few new bugs that somehow push the performance even lower in the right conditions. Overall disappointed.

    Buying S/V + the DLC would run me $80, and I’d only really play through the main story. Maybe 60-70 hours of playtime at most, and thats with all the problems. For roughy the same price, I was able to buy the Spyro Trilogy, Sea of Thieves, Fire Watch, Stray, and Deep Rock Galactic on Steam. I’m already at 250+ combined hours on all those, with only minor issues from Steam Deck/Proton compatibility.

    I really like pokemon, but it’s becoming harder to justify playing it over some of these other games.

      There’s nothing I could add to this. I’m only really playing it because I preordered the DLC in the hope they would address all the issues until then (which obviously they didn’t). Once I’m through the main story, the games will go back to my shelf. After these games im pretty sure I won’t buy the next game right away
