It’s sad to see so much hate. I wasn’t reading anything about the patch when it came out and I was digging it, then I checked out reddit and it was all negative. I think at least some of it is just from the nerf patch numbers and not how it actually plays. GGG has a lot of credit with me based on how they’ve run poe1 so that might just be my own bias. They’ll turn it around though, and I’m happy to play through the early access ups and downs.
Man, reading the complaints people have really shows how bad the average poe player is. I blasted the whole campaign with 2 skills and did so much quicker than the release season.
The QOL changes they made are nice though, much appreciated.
I like how there’s so many fees on this console that we haven’t even gotten to the $50 skype webcam accessory which they spent a solid third of their direct showing off.
Fils-Aimé pushed for the bundle, and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: “Nintendo does not give away precious content for free.”
“Neither of you understands the challenges of creating software that people love to play. This is something we constantly push ourselves to do. We do not give away our software,” Mr. Miyamoto stated.
It’s ironic that with the success of Wii sports, Nintendo completely ignored the lesson.
All the important people at nintendo have been separated from reality by their own fame and success for so long that they’ve lost their common sense and rationality.
But despite it all, their absolute contempt for their costumers and supporters continues to get rewarded by masses of fanboys/fangirls who keep unloading dumptrucks of money on Nintendos doorstop out of some obsessive nostalgia, and thus keeps nintendo from ever actually learning an actual fucking lesson.
I feel stupid but I have only ever bought devices that are open or able to be jailbroken. I don’t get how sometimes when the jail walled garden bdsm relationship punishes it’s people, they react with a gasp, as if they thought their locked hardware that isn’t open to their owner that they “have” isn’t made for exactly that purpose?
It’s like yeah Janet. It’s why you brought it. So you can play only their games and watch their movies and enjoy things that they decide the price and allowance of. You selected that? You chose to hire this device? Well I split mine open to use it for what it can do. No drm has ever succeeded. It’s a grift protected by laziness and - as always, lawyers and lobbyists who have yet to grow up
I got a feeling in my gut that the switch 2 is going to do pretty well and I kind of hate that. Or if it does fail to meet expectations it’ll likely be cause the tariffs and not because Nintendo’s greed.
Oh look. Another Nintendo console that I’m NOT going to buy.
My last one was a used Wii that came hacked and I could load anything into it, and I’m perfectly happy if that’s the last Nintendo console I’ll ever buy.
Hard to say, with the world economy being so volatile right now. I can say that as someone who has owned every one of Nintendo’s consoles and handhelds (even the Virtual Boy!), I have no intention of buying a Switch 2. Nintendo’s done plenty of shady stuff in the past, but everything about the Switch 2 smacks of arrogance and greed on a level beyond what they’ve done before.
Ugh I have thought about getting a Switch for approx 6 months but decided to wait for Switch 2. I feel it is worth l as I don’t own the previous version, still all the complaints make me want to wait as well as I get that Nintendo strategy is not correct.
I was on the fence about Switch 2, leaning toward not getting one. This just solidified that position. No way I’m paying for something that charges for the instruction manual.
