Am I crazy for thinking that Switch and PSVR shortages might have been intentional on Nintendo and Sony's part?

So as someone that likes Alineation a lot, is Helldivers a yes or no? Also you guys talking about MGSV are tempting me to buy it (9.99€ is a great pricepoint) even if I'm not into stealth action games, because I'm bad at them and usually end going full rambo (see Ghost Recon Wildlands).

Helldivers is cool, but it gets old quickly and completely blows if you don't have friends to play with. It's got a few hours worth of fun gimmicks but they wear thin pretty fast and the game is repetitive as all hell.

Sakurazuka posted:Yes Drum up hype to sell more units later. Both of them are sort of a hard sell. PSVR is an expensive peripheral with sort of spotty software support that is hard to demo. Switch is a mid cycle update out of nowhere with one of the worst launch lineups ever. Is it that crazy to think that it might be better to just sell out everywhere and create a huge perceived demand? This certainly hasn't been a problem for other hardware for more than a matter of weeks for the last decade. What makes these ones so special that they make one run and just sit on it for months? Edit: I'm not saying I'm convinced this is true, it just looks sort of suspect to me. Like some obnoxious marketing strategy. I could be totally wrong. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Jul 8, 2017 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:Any time a game company goes "no photos, no videos of our poo poo on the show floor", it means they know full-well they have a turd on their hands. In one or two ocassions they trough that, and they where wrong. Then next step is a review embargo that is lifted after release. Game companies sometimes hire game reviews to write a private game review. If the reviewer say the game is mediocre, everybody in the game company poo poo his pants*. *Or thats how I Imagine it. I am not anal lawyer.

The demand for the Switch has been huge hasn't it? Much higher than expected. They can't just magically produce as many complex electronic components as they need. Parts, factory time, there must be lots of reasons why production would be delayed. The demand is obviously there so there would be no gain in an artificial shortage. Your average Joe is not reading the business pages and enticed to buy a Switch based on production shortages

Switch had Grand Theft Zelda as a launch title. It was guaranteed to be sold out without conspiracy theories.

BotW might as well have been a Switch exclusive given how many WiiU's were actually sold. I'm confidently predicting Splatoon 2 doing crazy numbers now it's not shackled to a dying horse of a console. Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Jul 8, 2017 |

RatHat posted:Is Knack worth buying at 75% off? I've never played Knack but it looks like a shallow uninspiring derivative game. For me personally you could give it away free on PS+ and I still wouldn't want to use my free time to play it Sakurazuka posted:Lol at anything in first person being better with a controller I enjoyed The Witness significantly more with a controller BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Same. Really liked a lot of the control/technical side...too bad I came for a MGS game so the thing is basically garbo to me. I got a lot of poo poo for saying I didn't like the game at release so I don't want to go overboard and say it was a garbage game or anything but it just didn't feel like a Metal Gear Solid game to me, the historical setting didn't gel for me in the way Snake Eater did. It's a great game, technically brilliant fun to play but at the time I was just not interested in another open-world setting with hours of busywork.

Nintendo is known for supply constraining sooooo. My argument is they just did everyone a favor as there still isn't a good switch exclusive game.

Best part in Until Dawn is Emily and Matt hanging onto the steel beams of a destroyed radio tower that's on fire and about to fall in a bottomless pit, arguing about why Matt didn't back her earlier when she called Jessica a slut.
