“2124-4508”

I’m going to spoiler tag all the Nintendo legal-ese because it’s A LOT.

It boils down to this console is banned from logging in online. So a couple of questions:

  1. Do you HAVE to be online to play Switch 2 games?
  2. If the ban is correct for user violations, why ban the hardware? Why not ban the account?

spoilernintendo.com/…/error-codes-2124-4007-2124-4508/?s…You’re unable to connect to an online service and you receive the error code 2124-4007 or 2124-4508. You receive the error message “The use of online services on this console is currently restricted by Nintendo.” What to do: This error code indicates that the Nintendo Switch console you are using has been permanently banned from connecting to the internet due to a breach of the user agreements.

For point 1, this sounds like a class action waiting to happen.

You buy a Nintendo console, Nintendo says you broke the rules and bans that console, now non-Nintendo games won’t work on it because it’s banned from reaching online services.

Valve really operates in a different market from Microsoft or Sony, but what hurt them was a couple of things:

  1. Repeatedly skipping Gamescom essentially told Sony “Yeah, we don’t care about Europe.” And the sales numbers show it. Sony owns Europe.
  2. No differential between console and PC. Launching the same game at the same time on PC and Xbox doesn’t incentivize people to a) buy games on Xbox or b) develop games on Xbox. Why bother if it’s on PC the same day?
  3. Focusing on digital vs. physical takes games out of stores. On a recent trip to Target they had a nice big Playstation section and a nice big Switch section. Hey? Where are the Xbox games?

I kinda had the opposite experience, I had been a PC gamer for years before the Xbox came out, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Aliens Total Conversion, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, Quake, Unreal…

By then I had kind of burned out on FPS, so when I heard about Halo I was like “I dunno… another FPS…”

Then I played a demo in the store and was like “Shut up and take my money!”

Every piece of news on the Switch 2 made it sound less and less impressive.

I’m the opposite of you, I pretty much buy EVERY console and I’m skipping the Switch 2 for now.

  1. Price is too high.
  2. Game prices are too high.
  3. Cartridges aren’t games, they’re download keys.
  4. Demo that should have been included is a paid demo.
  5. Features are pay gated after 1 year (camera).

If you absolutely need to entertain the 7 year old, get a Switch OLED. It’s a better deal.

There are 3rd party Switch 2 games? 🤔 I thought it was all 3rd party ports of Switch 1 games…

From the Wiki:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elden_Ring_Nightreign

“released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. It received generally positive reviews and sold 3.5 million units.[1]”

So, first, it doesn’t matter how many concurrent players it has, it sold 3.5 million so it’s not a flop.

Second, it was released on 5 platforms, you are looking at concurrent players on Steam only.

Having to replace or pay for all the stolen art assets will do that…

Still too much given BL3 and pre-sequel.

I’d consider it at $40. See you on Black Friday!

All of the Assassin’s Creed games… AFTER the first one.

The first one was notorious, if you so much as got a toe wet it was instant death. LOL.

I blamed it on Altair growing up in the desert. Not a lot of opportunities to learn how to swim. :)

There are millions upon millions of Mario, Link, and Pokemon fans.

There are not millions and millions of… what’s the killer Steam Deck game again? Oh, right, there isn’t one.

If Valve came out with Half Life 3, made it Steam exclusive and a pack in with the Deck, then it would start putting up Nintendo numbers.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

There are limits as to what runs well on the Deck and what does not run well.

When I got my Steam Deck I was asking around to see what the “must have” game is with the caveat that I already have a Switch, Xbox Series X and PS5. So what’s a must have game on the Deck that I can’t already play?

. . .

The answer I got back was “Well, emulation, piracy, and streaming from the Xbox and PS5.”

There really isn’t a killer app on the Deck, and that’s fine. I bought mine to better explore the Steam ecosystem as I had no gaming PC at the time.

That’s exactly the problem… there are thousands of games but nothing stands out the way Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon do on a Nintendo platform.

I still look from time to time on my Deck. I picked up Borderlands 2 the other day because it was free.

But what I usually see browsing are a bunch of games I can already play on other systems, plus porn games, anime games, and anime porn games.

There really isn’t one game that stands out on the Deck.

Vampire Survivors?
macOS, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

En Garde? PC Exclusive, decent game, but limited and a little boring if I’m being honest.

Exclusives are a good thing if you want to justify a $400 hardware purchase. :) “What can I play here that I can’t play elsewhere?”

If you can play it elsewhere, why blow $400?

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I can’t imagine a point and click RPG like Baldur’s Gate or Fallout 1 and 2 being remotely playable on a Steam Deck. You pretty much have to have a Mouse and Keyboard for them. The Glide Pads will only get you so far.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I just like good games, I’m platform agnostic.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Add it while it’s free, worry about root later. :)

I’m going to try it on my Steam Deck, I just naturally assume they already have root access.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I would have been if Bungie hadn’t completely fucked up Destiny 2, as it stands they’ll never get another dime from me.

Wait, that game is still playable online? angielski

Many of us only view a game’s release in passing, and view it as an “event”. Groundhog Smasher came out, it failed, and we don’t hear of it again. Additionally, many of us associate “online” games with being “live service” - expecting the developers to announce a new skin, battle pass, game mechanic, or character...

Sorry Pope Leo, no game for you!

Physical edition? No? Sorry, not interested.

I’m aware of the franchise, but had no clue there was a new entry in it.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Probably a good thing…

But is it just me, or am I the only one who really couldn’t give two shits about GTA?

I get it’s a massive franchise, like Madden or Call of Duty… don’t buy those either.

jordanlund,

All three are games that appeal to the Doritos and Mountain Dew set.

Some people are capable of distinguishing good from bad. Others are 12.

Every. Single. Game. Ever. angielski

Recently I’ve played dead space and some other survival horror games like Alien Isolation, and just about every single time you see someone in there, they’re somehow invincible. Like, the fuck, that fat idiot inside that VIP Area there has somehow managed to lock himself in that room for what, weeks? Months? And somehow...

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I’d add a variant on this:

Games where you spend hours unlocking death traps in tombs that haven’t been opened in 500 to 1,000 years only to find the mercenary opposition has already beaten you inside.

Looking at you Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

So… we’re never getting Hi Fi Rush, are we?

jordanlund,

Look for single player stuff, I found the Bioshock games incredibly well paced.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

How long before they cut out half the game and blame the players?

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Good news! Used Switch 1 prices are about to crater…

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

It’s kind of like the Valve demo that’s free on the Steam Deck to go through all the features on the machine, except not as interesting.

You expect Nintendo to do MULTITASKING? ;)

There was a bullshit explanation, that as time went on proved to be a lie, yeah.
