Hyphlosion,

I think it’s funny that, for the longest time, people were being doomsayers for Switch 2 and saying it would have stiff competition with Steam Deck or even outright lose to Steam Deck. And whenever I brought up that they’re totally different markets and that Steam Deck is more niche, I would get downvoted and whatnot.

Now we see Switch 2 blowing up in sales and starting to see posts where people are trying to defend Steam Deck.

My how the turns have tabled.

Hyphlosion,

I assure you, my purchase of a Switch 2 was very much an informed decision. You can’t seem to grasp that some people have different tastes than you.

Hyphlosion,

Did you really just DEI the Steam Deck?

Hyphlosion,

Oh no you don’t. Your baptism is scheduled for next Tuesday. Don’t be late or the water will be cold.

Hyphlosion,

Heh. There’s been way more Steam Deck/PC gaming fanboyism in here than Nintendo fanboyism. By calling someone out as a fanboy, then defending something, then ending your post with an attempted “drop the mic” moment, you’re kinda being a hypocrite.

Hyphlosion,

It most certainly does. People don’t seems to get it’s not WHAT you defend that makes you a fanboy, but HOW you defend it.

Hyphlosion,

I kinda regret getting Blackcell for Season 4. Even with a boost via Blackcell, the battle pass progression is super slow. I’m just not having fun this time around. Always matched against teams of super duper sweats who play like they’ve never touched a blade of grass in their lives.

(As a 9-5er, in B4 “skill issue.”)

The game feels more like a chore these days.

Hyphlosion,

That was not my attitude. Been sticking with the game since the first beta and have only recently been getting bummed by the game. My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

Was having fun getting Dark Matter and have it on all the weapons minus this brand new season. But see my post in here that I made about the game becoming less fun.

Hyphlosion,

Happy Cake Day!

Hyphlosion, (edited )

But I’m not proving your point. Nowhere have I defended the game.

I’m saying that I made my bed, so I’m lying in it. The game was an investment I made and so I was getting my money’s worth. It was a mental decision I made before buying the game.

It helped that I like Call of Duty and so enjoyed myself for a good while, despite Black Op 6 being a total mess that’s hemorrhaging casual players and now hardcore players because they’ve shat the bed with Black Ops 6 one too many times (they, being Activi$ion and Treyarch).

Though I like Call of Duty, I’m not a fanboy who will defend the game. I’m a simple 9-5er casual player who turns the game on, has a bit of fun working to a camo goal, then turns the game off when I can’t take being smoked by the supposed “skill” based matchmaking anymore.

I’m trying to show you that it’s way more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.

In regards to the sunk cost “fallacy,” it was not a fallacy when I first made my decision to purchase the game. I’m only recently at a fork in the road with this game due to its problems making it less and less fun for me. I mentioned earlier that I played the first beta. Don’t you think I would’ve not purchased the game if I hadn’t had fun then?

I have no remorse for my purchase of the game whatsoever. Many hours of entertainment have been had. However, it will be an actual sunk cost fallacy for my purchase of season 4 Blackcell if I’m not enjoying it and feel the need to continue. I’m currently at that fork in the road right now and haven’t decided whether to put the game down or not. Most likely will though if I can’t find a way to make it fun. If I decided to anyway, then it would be the sunk cost fallacy. Not for Black Ops 6 as a whole, but for Season 4 Blackcell.

Also, if you wish to throw fallacies around, I must call you out on the cherry picking fallacy. The part you quoted had neatly been cushioned above it and below it with reasoning as to why my purchase decision wasn’t an example of the sunken cost fallacy, yet you seemed to have ignored the whole context and just plucked that part of my post out in order to what, feel like a smug debater or something? Lol.

Congrats on getting me to repeat myself, I guess.

Hyphlosion,

Well it’s no longer Call of Lootbox. It’s Call of “Micro” Transactions.

Hyphlosion,

I might get this just to support that they’re doing this. Been abused by “git gud” bros and their gatekeeping for far too long when it comes to difficulty.

Game is too hard, so I want to beat the game at a more comfortable difficulty level. If I like the game enough, I will then try to beat it at the harder level. Why is this such an abominable concept to those people?

Hyphlosion,

Well I have had dreams of reading books. They’re weird. Like, I know it’s a dream and the sentences don’t make any sense. But I keep reading it anyways.

Hyphlosion,

I’m a straight male who is very secure in my masculinity. But I’ve gotten shit from people when I use female characters in games. Never understood why that’s a problem.

Hyphlosion,

Since when is Poe making laws? I thought he’s an X-Wing pilot.

Hyphlosion, (edited )

This is incorrect. The first one is confirmed to be coming to Switch 2. The dude in the video said they look forward to working with Nintendo to bring the other ones in the trilogy to Switch 2. That neither confirms nor denies it will happen.

If anything, it gives them an out in case things don’t work out for whatever reason. They can’t be called liars because they didn’t make any promises.

Hyphlosion,

Next step: Making people verify with Real ID. ☠️🫠

Hyphlosion, (edited )

Virtue signaling isn’t going to get them anywhere if it’s not a polished experience.

Edit: Not saying it isn’t a polished experience though. I’m watching this with interest.

Hyphlosion,

HD/2D Johto remake let’s fucking goooooooo

Hyphlosion,

I’d rather not. Not a fan of their business decisions.

Hyphlosion, (edited )

I was playing Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on Switch today because of the current free trial. At first, running around as Jango Fett in the Gamecube era was fun, but then shortly after getting my jet pack, I get completely turned around while chasing the bounty guy and spent over a half hour being lost. Called it quits after that.

Hyphlosion, (edited )

Weren’t consoles supposed to be the cheaper, more convenient option?

Hyphlosion, (edited )

True, but I can’t help having nostalgia for ye olde forum days.

Edit: Not sure why I keep being downvoted. I never said forums would replace anything. I was merely acknowledging my nostalgia for old forum boards from a now bygone era. Didn’t realize having fond memories of a time period on the Internet was a bad thing. Jesus.

Hyphlosion,

Star Wars Battlefront III

Hyphlosion,

We’re only paying a measly $70 for the Switch 2 version. Just get a third job and be grateful for the opportunity to purchase the DLC at $20. Then you can use the last of your hundred dollar bill for that one tech demo game!

Hyphlosion,

I’m not at all defending the price, but am secretly hoping this outcry will make it easier for me to be an early adopter. I still don’t have a PS5 due to how burned I got trying to preorder one.

Hyphlosion,

Hyphlosion,

Hyphlosion,

The kids love this one!

Hyphlosion,

Still don’t know if I can easily play a Steam Deck in docked mode on my TV 100% of the time like I can with my Switch.

Hyphlosion,

They aren’t going to give you a special deal

  1. The Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle is a good deal.
  2. If you’re working on your credit score and it’s time to open a new line of credit, get a credit card with a $200 welcome reward that gives you $200 back if you spend $500 in the first three months. Perfect for the Switch 2 with other items for launch. Just sayin’.
Hyphlosion,

Or, and hear me out…

If you’re working on your credit score… Go for it!

I was able to get an Xbox Series X and made on-time monthly payments for it over 2 years. It opened a new line of credit and regular automatic payments toward it did wonders for my credit score.

Hyphlosion,

Apart from both being TV/Handheld hybrid consoles, I’m not understanding why people think Switch/2 and Steam Deck are in direct competition with each other. They aren’t. They’re in totally separate leagues.

Hyphlosion,

Probably not going to happen, but I think it would be awesome if it’s like the 3DS where they realize the cost is too much, then they lower the price significantly and the early adopters who sacrificed their firstborns for it will have some sort of ambassador program.

Hyphlosion,

When I was a kid, I’d spend hours screwing around in Mario Kart 64 before Forza Horizons was even a thing.

Glad to see that Mario Kart is actually doing a Forza.

It’s going to be so much fun being able to frolic around in Free Roam without having to try to tune out Lakitu telling me to turn the fuck around.

Hyphlosion,

Drip fed over the course of several years.

And the game you specifically wanted to play? It’s one of the last ones to be dropped.

Hyphlosion,

While I’m not defending the price point ($80 is $80, JFC), after watching Nintendo Life’s hands on play of the game… I can see why Nintendo decided to have that as the price.

I’m definitely going for the bundle so I can avoid that price, however.

Hyphlosion,

[Insert Billy Madison clip here]

Hyphlosion,

I’ve seen plenty of “punching down” towards people who buy a game simply to enjoy it. It’s kind of happening in this thread.

Hyphlosion,

The problem arises when you believe I’m trying to make some sort of argument. I am not.

I was nicely trying to point out your hypocrisy. But since that didn’t work, let me spell it out for you:

Stop being a dick.

Hyphlosion,

I don’t criticize people for how they spend their money. Do as you will.

Nice straw man though.

Hyphlosion,

Why do people manufacture arguments like this? Who is arguing that one is okay while the other isn’t? A couple random people on the Internet?

The only thing I can think of is The Last Samurai is a 20 year old movie and that somehow means not bringing up this historic fictional movie = you’re okay about a white dude becoming a samurai but not okay about a black dude becoming a samurai.

Whataboutism at its finest.

Did it not occur to this person that perhaps some people just don’t care about the movie, haven’t seen the movie, or plain just didn’t bring it up because it’s a movie? Is it “double standards” for one to pick their battles and not be enraged at everything all the time? My god this shit is exhausting.

Disclaimer: I have no opinion on the game itself because I frankly don’t care about it because I’m not the biggest Ubisoft fan outside of Rayman. Nor does the above necessarily reflect my opinion on the game’s historical accuracy. I’ve always loved The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha though and find both beautiful and touching films, so make of that as you will.

Hyphlosion,

You should read the rest of my post. You would have learned that I have watched it.

Hyphlosion,

I’m betting on $400, quote me on this

Hyphlosion,

This is me in Final Fantasy. I was in the middle of the ocean on a ship. Don’t remember what I did last or where I was going. Spent an hour going around the map killing things and still couldn’t figure it out.

Hyphlosion,

Fine by me. I’ve been wanting more Advance Wars. And that’s what we’re getting.

Hyphlosion,

It was hyped up until Russia invaded Ukraine, then they cancelled the launch date because of that. True story.

Then it was unceremoniously released at a way later date.
