Lemming posted:It's not a strawman, it's analogous to how removing weapon durability in BotW would severely and negatively impact the balance of the weapon system. Just because you don't care to think about the consequences of changing the system doesn't mean a reasoned argument is a strawman. you literally said it was a hypothetical argument. perhaps a better way to make your point would be to use an actual example next time

Cojawfee posted:If you found a super strong OH sword, you would always use that sword when you need a OH weapon. The same goes for any category. The current system works pretty well to make you switch things up every once in a while. It's not just about switching things up, it's about the rewards system they use for encouraging combat and exploration. It's an additional thing you can be excited to find when exploring a new area or seeing a group of enemies off the path. Edit: Stux posted:you literally said it was a hypothetical argument. perhaps a better way to make your point would be to use an actual example next time Just like how removing the weapon durability system is a hypothetical situation. What are you even talking about?

Stux posted:well exactly, as its not easy to tell if you have an older or newer joycon without tearing it down, its worth sending them in to be fixed anyway imo. if you dont want to then thats ok too, but if someone is worried about issues in the future there is no harm in getting it sorted now. You're wasting everyone's time. Nintendo's and your own if you send in something for repair that you've had no trouble with, and worse you're probably helping make a queue in which people who actually have had problems are waiting behind you and a bunch of other people who didn't have issues but want some free foam.

I wish Nintendo would start pumpin' out Directs or just well anything vocal to keep fans engaged more so this thread could stop sucking. I don't wanna have to watch those unpleasant Nintendo Minute videos. Is that all there is? Get that motherfucking Japanese Dracula back on camera for some Directs, he rules.

Yeah they have no trouble fixing them because only a small subset of people have had issues, maybe that would change if every person started sending them in even if they weren't broken.

I've been noticing that when my TV (nothing fancy or out of the ordinary; just a standard, not-smart 40something'' LG I got from Target) is on another input, sometimes the notifcation window will pop up saying that it's found a new connection to HDMI2, where my Switch is docked and on sleep mode. Obviously, It does this when the Switch is newly docked, but it will curiously do it even when it's been docked all day. Has anyone else run into this issue? My PS4 never does it despite being constantly plugged in and on sleep mode as well.

Andrast posted:Why do people bother arguing with stux? They're idiots. Every single one of them. There is not enough talk how nice it is I can take the same system between two of my tvs without having to fuss with wires (now that I shelled out money like a chump) and then take it with me when I go out. All while the game is saved in memory and boots up in a couple seconds. This is so much nicer than all the other dumb boxes that seem to take forever.

Does anyone know why my AV Receiver initially said "Nintendo Switch" on the little led display for the first few days, but now it just says "HDMI3"? It doesn't really matter, but I'm kinda curious.

i dont know why anyone is arguing with me when im openly saying what nintendo is doing is good and very consumer positive. i guess people are just getting mad at the idea of there being any hardware faults? or maybe its just that they see my name and assume the worst. either way i dont think its very helpful and just clogs up the thread for no reason.

From the article: quote:A Nintendo representative was not immediately available to respond to a request for comment from Ars Technica at press time. In a statement to CNET, Nintendo said that "there are no widespread technical problems" with the Switch hardware, and it affirmed its commitment to fix any issues through its support service. Nintendo also told BGR this week that "the total number of repair or replacement requests for Nintendo Switch, including for Joy-Con, is consistent with what we’ve seen for any new hardware Nintendo has launched." This doesn't mesh with what you are saying.

Here's something Nintendo has actually said. http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03...cbbfe644000000a So Stuck is right retroactively, but he was wrong earlier because it wasn't true about Nintendo confirming anything when he said it. Edit: I misread, stuck was still wrong, it was a manufacturing variation, not a design flaw John Wick of Dogs fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Stux posted:i backed up my own argument with a game where there are many different weapon types and a genuine benefit to min maxing with dark souls. im happy to continue talking about this if you want to provide an actual example of what you're saying happens in your hypothetical argument. Your argument was that a different game that works very differently doesn't use weapon durability, which does nothing to address the changes that would result in BotW from removing weapon durability in that specific game. Nobody has made the argument that no game would work without weapon durability, which is the only thing your example would address. The point is the game needs to be designed as a whole with that system in mind. BotW was designed with weapon durability in mind, so to remove it would require a total overhaul. You could do it, but it'd be debateable if it was "better," and it would certainly be a different game. The hypothetical I was bringing up was addressing a different facet of the argument, that players do what's effective over what's fun. If you desperately need a specific example, a good one is Hearthstone or Magic the Gathering. There are plenty of "fun" decks that are wacky or whatever, but most people end up playing whatever the top tier decks are at the moment, even if they personally find them less fun, because they're more effective. When those games are more well balanced, a wide variety of decks are viable. When they're poorly balanced, only a handful are, which makes the game less fun for people who don't like using those decks.
