Can't say I can blame Nintendo - a company that prides itself on its family-friendly image - for wanting to limit the chance some 8 year old is called a "loving human being" because he didn't get on the capture point fast enough in Splatoon 2. :thunk:

As long as Super Mario Odyssey hits their release window of this holiday season, the Switch will probably sell incredibly well and start to really attract the AAA devs.

Everything except the last part. Some aaa games will have bad ports i guess.

A few publishers will throw a team at making an exclusive for sure, or a lower budget multiplat aimed at switches demographic that will do well, but switch is going to need lots of changes to aaa games to get them to run and a lot of publishers will still balk even if its a smash hit.

I only had nintendos until like 2008. Waiting for ports is not something i recommend now that i have been living to sweet multiconsole life.

Some BoI tips on the conversation a couple pages back:

-The Lost is basically unplayable unless you are a savant or until you unlock the holy mantle as a starting item, then it is not that hard since he gets free devil rooms.
-If you get the gnawed leaf and daddy long legs you can cheese your way through the entire game with any character.
-If you get the swallowed penny or the piggy bank as the keeper you basically have infinite life.
-The first thing you should unlock as the keeper is the wooden nickel as his starting item, this will give you more healing and allow you to buy more items. I think all of the battery items are good on him.
-With keeper you should leave coins around and only grab them before you need them for health, to buy something or to move on to another floor. With the wooden nickel you use it right as you enter a room and leave the coin there for an emergency.

This is what I'm saying. It's been probably 3 years since I've used any game or console's built-in VOIP. They're all completely garbage.

you are in a group that probably makes up less than 1% of console users. everyone ever uses the console built in party and chat programs because they work well, they sound fine, theyre easy, and because expecting to have to use a seperate device just for something as simple as transmitting audio is loving comical. theres no defence for no matter ur own bizarre choices in how you game.

Ah yes, change the argument from "people don't want to charge headphones" to "well it doesn't work ideally in the very specific situation that i have" and that totally shows how wrong I was.

Then just continue to use wired headphones because they literally just give you an adapter to continue using wired headphones. You can still do that, they didn't go like "gently caress using 3.5mm forever!" And make wired headphones blow up when you connect them to a phone. Get used to it because more companies are probably gonna do that in the future. It's just like how a majority of laptops don't use disk drives anymore and you have to buy an external one if you still have CD/DVD's.

This won't effect Switch users anyway. Anyone that owns this is also very likely to be using an iPhone 4 and is completely happy.

Is there anything preventing a game from implementing their own voice chat? Monster Hunter for the WiiU had voice support. Does the Switch have a Mic?

it would depend on if the headphone port on the switch is a triple barrel connector and supports combined audio + mic or not. given the completely ridiculous system theyve concocted its probably safe to say they went with a 2 barrel connector to save 0.0001c per unit as it wasnt something they were concerned with.

also you can laugh at new iphones not having a 3.5mm jack but at least they bundled in a headset thats compatible with the device as well as a 3.5mm adapter. with nintendo youre expected to actually shell out for all of the extra poo poo that lets your device function at the same level as a ps3.

This might sound crazy but I kinda like the idea of using my phone for voice chat instead. 3rd party apps for voice chat on pc have been the default for a while now and it's really nice to be able to communicate with your group when a disconnect in game occurs. Sound quality is usually a lot better too and I always have volume balance issues whenever I've used built in chat on consoles. Also the one time I tried using my Bluetooth headphones with my PS4 my controller inputs started lagging.

That being said they really should've at least had the option for on console voice chat.

Game disconnects dont interrupt partychat afaik

Do a large percentage of users even use voice chat? Only a third of PS4 owners are even subbed to PS4 which you need for most multiplayer games. And only a percentage of them use voice chat. It's important and useful, but in no way shape or form a make or break feature.

why should u have to use discord instead of a system built into the OS like every other console? do you at least realise your attitude and how youuse chat goes against how basically everyone else who plays games on consoles uses voice chat?

lets put it this way: if sony and microsoft had announced their new consoles and both said "by the way no more voice chat" how do you think that wouldve been recieved in the media and by the public. do you think twitter wouldve exploded with tweets saying "good choice, i dont use it anyway" or that maybe there wouldve been some backlash to them cutting a major OS function out of their new machines?

i use discord on pc and ps4 built in chat on ps4 and discord is not better in any real way. the quality is more dependant in both cases by how good the other persons microphones are and being able to just plug my headset into my controller and not gently caress around with a second device for the basic utility of "talking to my friends" puts the party chat way above discord for ps4 games.

Of course which is why they announced a mobile out which is generally being met with confusion and annoyance only in gaming news blogs which 80% of the of the target market ignores. Don't get me wrong it does suck. But you and utnayan are once again blowing the consequences out of proportion because you are both attention seeking fuckwits.

if you're paying for online then you should certainly be able to voice chat through the dang system itself

it's just that I would probably still use Discord anyway, personally

yeah discord is really good... on pc when im playing games on my pc. but theres literally no reason to go out of my way to use it for any other platform unless its because i have to because that platform has decided to not offer any voice options at all, or the options are just as much of an extra effort as using discord. i could see using it for the switch simply because its basically the same thing anyway if im having to use my phone for voice, but thats a ridiculous situation.
