Arceus looked like it was a PC emulation of a PS1 game.

Performance is better than this nightmare though. I have encountered more technical issues in my first hour of Scarlet than my full play through of Arceus + extra side missions

The game is so poorly made that I already want to buy it.

Game does the thing where people at longer distances animate at half the framerate, except they're pretty damn close so it's really jarring.
Looking forward to the Digital Foundry massacre.

With how bad the performance is I don't think 1 video is enough.

I'm really looking to the digital foundry review too haha

How good is Gamefreak with patches?

How good is Gamefreak with patches?

I don't think they've ever patched performance in any game (especially 3DS), then again it was never as bad as this.

Y'know it's bad when bugs inspire art. Source: ProfitShame on Twitter.

Now that several months have gone by, did the bugs ever get fixed?

No.

 

[Portugeezer]

It's getting a patch this month, so we'll see.

 

[DenchDeckard]

If the patches fix the game. I'm in.

They are working on them. Biggest patch yet is out at the end of the month and they are committed to more:

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Launching "Late February", Here Are The Full Patch Notes

"We will continue to take your feedback very seriously"

www.nintendolife.com

I'm assuming they will mention this on the Pokemon Direct, maybe.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

I think mentioned they are removing some NPCs and amount of wild Pokémon on screen? But dunno if true and sounds like they're just clutching at straws to make it work better rather than actually fixing it

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Is this the patch that will allow pokemon transfer from Home?

 

[ebevan91]

That's coming in the Spring, as far as we know. Hopefully Spring means like, next month.

Some yeah. But theres still some critical bugs that not only makes the game close but ruins the entire game(raids for instance). Also the performace is abysmal for a mobile looking game, fortunatelly not as critical as before.

The next patch will try remedy this by drastically limiting the models you can see at some distance(get ready to massive pop-in). They hope this will stop the game from crashing.

I hardly even notice performance issues anymore. The first patch definitely fixed some things.

Thats because the fps became "almost" stable(it doesn't fluctuate extremelly like before). That doesn't mean the performance is great.

This game trash like Sword/Shield and Arceus or should I pick it up pre-owned when it's "fixed"?

Theres not knowing if this big patch will really works all the bugs or not. Unfortunatelly you have to wait until it launches.
But if you wanna try to compare well...the game is really not good. Like, it gives you a sense of freedom but it sacrifices everything in the process. You don't need to fight trainers(90% of trainers have either 1 or 2 mons, so fighting them is pointless besides getting TM rewards), you can just skip ahead and train with high level mons and farm xp and beat leaders with ease. Theres no sense of objective, because those look more like "side-quests" than objectives. Gym leaders are more akin to scavenger hunt rather than something actually serious and the open-world is terrible, mostly consisting in cliffs and mountains. Might be the worst open world ever made. And like I said, raids are broken mostly with confusing AI, sometimes the text doesn't even properly appear, enemies bugging their turns which also results in glitch where either you can't do nothing(they say they will fix this in this patch) or your mon keep frozen like a statue, enemies don't take damage, etc. I think the only good thing I could say in this game is that the mechanic of your first mon following you is cool. I don't like the auto-battle, but it's cool seeing it following you.
If anything this game happens to be worse than Sword/Shield and those 2 are really terrible games.

If you're really don't care and just want to play pokemon then go for it. But be prepared by a very shallow experience.
