I
am currently majoring in the communication major: Interactive Media and Game
Design. I hope in the future it will help me get into some popular game design
companies for jobs such as Level design, game testing, or even when I learn
more about it, character design. Though more on the main topic, which is
talking about some recent news that might relate to my major. I want to inform
you ahead of time that there might be a lot of negative information, so if you
don’t like negative you might want to stop now (though if you scroll further to
the bottom you may find some interesting/good facts about the expansion).
Personally, on the release of the game, I was excited to acquire the game and
begin playing it, although the further I got the less intriguing I found the game
became. I felt like it was missing so much such as, plot, story, challenge,
creativity, and a team of bad guys that past games all had. There was just so
much missing, however there were other ways to make the game fun, such as
nuzlocke. Some news I want to talk about is the news about the DLC in Pokémon:
Sword and Shield. I thought this topic sort of relates to my major because it’s
about a video game and video games are what I hope to help make in the future.
Though back on topic, I want to straight up state now I think the idea is dumb.
The first point about why I don't think it’s smart is the pricing that they
place on the game extension of the game, which is 30 dollars -- half the price
for the original game. Most DLCs you can buy for like 5 or 10 dollars. The
basic idea of this expansion is to bring more land and Pokémon to the world,
even ones that were not placed in the original game when it was released. Overall
I feel they could have made a lot of this in the first release of the game.
There is also A trailer you can watch as well:
