You're the stupid one. If I were a business owner, I'd love you. You really believe companies should just do whatever the heck they want because hey, that's business? I guess every business of every kind should do everything in their power to take people for all they're worth because some people like yourself would just bend over and let them do it.
You're acting like Nintendo needs to exploit the consumer to stay in business. Who the hell wouldn't do what they're doing? Apparently not Sony, not MS and not third parties. MS is quite GAAS focused, but I can't think of a time they ever released a collection of games only to take it right back in six month's time.
As for the price thing, I'm a core gamer, and I buy a lot of games. I know what games are worth. After 6 months or so, they're ...
No, I don’t, lulz. Maybe you’re right and that’s it.
That's what scares me. I'll call Nintendo out on their BS, but this particular brand of BS snared even me. I want these games on my Switch, and Nintendo is saying I have to get them ASAP or they will be gone, possibly for good. There's speculation that they will be made available in another way, shape or form afterwards, and I sincerely hope that turns out to be true, but I'm not going to take that chance. If that makes me a sheep, then baaaa. Screw you Nintendo, you got ...
Yes, plenty of Nintendo fanboys are jealous of those who had the foresight to pre-order their copies as soon as it was announced. People capable of looking at things objectively on the other hand wonder why they should have had to.
@JEECE I will say, the unique selling point of a hybrid system is much more gamer friendly than motion control, which is something I've always hated. The decision to make a system that works not only as both a console and a handheld, but also a good tabletop system for multiplayer that technically includes the system, monitor and two controllers, was a brilliant one on their part. Those are things I'll applaud Nintendo for. I'll even say I think their first party titles are sti...
I for one think the Switch as a system is great. It fills a niche that the other systems don't, and I love it for it. I'm less fond of the decisions made by the company who produces it because I know it can be much better. It really comes down to whether it's better to appreciate a system for what it is as opposed to what it could be. I'm quite fond of Nintendo when they're at their best, actually. I don't approve of some of the anti-consumer BS they've been p...
Interesting, I never would have thought to make this comparison.
I legit thought about doing that...then I figured I'd do the right thing and leave those extra copies be in the hopes that they will go to someone who will enjoy them. There will undoubtedly be scalpers who will take advantage of this and buy up a bunch of copies to sell later for inflamed prices though. That much will be true.
But I'm not going to be one of those pricks. It's deplorable enough that Nintendo is making this scarce. I don't want to add t...
@whitbyfox Yeah, and that was the one time Nintendo would actually drop the price of their games to be in line with what a comparable game by another company would be worth after a certain amount of time has elapsed. That they haven't done Selects on Switch says a ton about what a greedy company they have become in recent years.
I try not to. I have not bought very many first party titles because they're not worth $80CAD to me after 6 months or more. But, then you have Nintendo essentially blackmail even me by effectively saying "buy these games now or who knows if you'll see them again on Switch".
Of course, I can't get along with diehard Nintendo fans because I don't blindly praise everything Nintendo does. I of course have some fondness for them. There's some ...
I don't know why people in abusive relationships enjoy being in an abusive relationship either. So, that sounds about right. It obviously makes more sense to them than it does to everyone else.
So they are the Disney of videogames afterall.
@toxic-inferno You didn't read my post all the way through. If they didn't want to be tethered to the Arkham Verse they didn't have to be tethered to it at all, and they could have ditched even the plot point of Batman's supposed death. I actually applaud their decision to start over. I think it's time for a new continuity.
But, I wish they would have just gone all the way with it and started over. There are so many good jumping on points if they wa...
It's anti-consumer of Disney to "return" films to their "vault" too. At least they have a decent streaming service now. If Nintendo wants to have the videogame equivalent of that, they have a long way to go.
Is it odd that I never watched the movie, and read a bit of the first volume of the graphic novel and found it kind of boring, but love the game? I still have this on my PS3 actually. I never did get the DLC though so I'm glad this is happening. Now I just have to decide if I want it on my PS4 or Switch.
Also, if the devs wanted to make a sequel that bridges the time between Batman's "death" and the "shocking" twist that he's not actually dead, they could have just done that. Why go to all the trouble of creating a new universe just to do what could have been done in the existing one? A completely new universe means not being tethered to past continuity, so a game starring Batman would have worked just fine.
Artificial scarcity will undoubtedly drive sales. In fact, it has, and I contributed to that (though I went with the physical version). It's underhanded and unnecessary though, as that also means there will be no sales down the road due to Nintendo literally shutting that down from the source. Physical sales will undoubtedly continue but none of that revenue will go to Nintendo. There may even be a market for Switches that have this collection downloaded, but that's also money tha...
And I hate it. It's BS when Disney does it, and it's BS here. To make things worse, games are more complicated than movies. Devices that play games are far more proprietary, and while I don't believe this is the last we will see of these particular 3D games, it's unknown if this will be the only time we will see them on the Switch, or whether this will be the only option to own them physically or even through a standard digital download. There's a possibility we will s...
I don't usually do this, but after thinking about it, I'm sorry bruh if I came off as kind of harsh. I think we both have our reasons for feeling the way we do and I think we both love Nintendo in our own way. If I could delete my previous posts I would, but I can't. Regardless of how we feel about Nintendo's business practices, we are connected by our mutual fondness for a certain Italian plumber, and that's worth something. I hope we can discuss Nintendo IPs and prod...
