A GLISTENING HODOR posted:What Splatoon should have done was charged $60 for the game, $120 for the special edition, $60 for the season pass, $60 each for the weapon upgrade tokens, and $50 for yellow tinted hunting sunglasses. this is a real tenuous point to make when nintendo absolutely isnt above dlc etc. its an industry wide thing. also for the $60 game you get a full game with three full modes and lots of maps. not going to defend map dlc but to claim that cods base version is a rip off is absolutely ridiculous, nevermind that your point is still very laser focused on a couple of titles from a large genre

TFRazorsaw posted:This whole debate is silly because Splatoon launching with as much content as it did was more about Nintendo curating the content over time and doing a steady roll out as to build up experience in a playerbase that typically didn't play shooters. overwatch did the exact same model yet managed to launch with a lot more content. you can try and make excuses for it but really its bizarre to defend releasing something for $60 with so little content. im not even saying the game is bad or anything! but 5 maps on launch is staggering and if any other company did that they would be rightly slaughtered for it. imagine the backlash if cod came out with 5 maps regardless of promising free content? edit: ^ what old chestnut?

Modus Pwnens posted:It was a manageable number of maps to learn at once, and it was fun having something new to learn at the same time as everyone else every update. this is nonsensical. this has never been an issue before in games even when theyve done something new, why is it an issue now? TFRazorsaw posted:No, it's not like Overwatch at all. Splatoon's roll out of content was in a very quick and limited degree of time, while Overwatch's is almost quarterly and spaced out over much larger periods of time. Splatoon's updates were all largely ready and were drip fed out over a short period of time to essentially teach the audience how to play it and get used to the various maps and weapons instead of throwing it out all at once. This is because their audience was a group of people who don't typically play shooters. saying that the content was in fact ready but still missing when it came out makes it worse, not better. i understand the circumstances and reasoning given, but theyre comical and not based in any kind of reality. why are people suddenly idiots who cant cope with more than 5 maps for an FPS? the season pass is fine, i dont care if people do them, but the content consists of things that came with older zelda games, an in game t shirt and some chests. if you're fine with spending $20 for that knock yourself out, but its not exactly a great sign of things to come is it

TFRazorsaw posted:I never told you that you had to find them to be good reasons. The problem is you keep comparing them to content that's priced, or updates that come out over long periods of time and funded by in game microtransactions. That's erroneous. no, i also compared them to what comes out in the base content of any other fps. i mean compare it to anything really, its less than what you get by default in the rest of the genre. that still makes no sense, its less content than the very first multiplayer fps games had! if anything that wouldve been the time you could make that argument. also its completely erronous, kids play fps games, and cod/battlefield also sell well in japan. its not some mysterious alien genre any more than jrpgs are here. quote:The content consists of things that are typically added to Zelda games in remakes. I can't think of a single non-spinoff game that has ever added a new story scenario to a base game, either. So... no, not really what you're saying at all. zelda 1

TFRazorsaw posted:It's not just it being a shooter; it's very mechanically different and appealing to people who don't play shooters. They were up front about this from the start; the idea of the game's launch being a seasonal thing that would escalate was part of how they sold the game. The "base content" was a spread out, timed experience. i have played the game, it really isnt, its a shooter with a gimmick. its still a shooter!! and again, even if you're trying to get people who dont play that genre, you dont have to do weird stuff like limit the maps! how does that actually help, unless they are also people who just dont play video games at all? whatever their reasoning or however upfront they were doesnt matter, its still a ridiculous decision and it seems like they agree with there being more maps announced for the sequels launch than they had for the first game, so why even try and argue that it was anything other than a mis-step? Rexroom posted:First multiplayer FPS games just reused the single player maps, most of which were poo poo for multiplayer. Those days are long gone, nowadays developers have to make maps specifically tuned for multiplayer. Quality over quantity and so on. yeah and guess what, people still got on fine even though the whole concept of the genre, let alone a multiplayer version, was extremely new and different to everything before it. really weird just watch the japanese sale charts around the release of any major fps, here was 2016s:  thats two days worth of sales and on an installment which sold less overall than the one before, including in japan. splatoon definitely broke out further but acting like western fps or western games in general dont exist in japan in 2017 is bizarre.

Mahoning posted:Other than a few people who have gotten scratches or whatever, I don't know how people complain about the dock. I've heard how it's cheap and light and too plastic-y....what? I mean I set mine up on March 3rd and it hasn't moved a centimeter from where I set it up. I've popped the Switch in and out of it probably a hundred times already. Are people like picking the dock up and.....playing with it or something? its probably because the docks for the 3ds's and the wii u pad somehow all solved the screen scratching problem which got unsolved for the switch. they also used pins instead of a port! its a shame things stepped backwards from such heady days

TFRazorsaw posted:the charging dock for the 3DS has nothing to do with the screen scratching problem that comes from closing it. Like, why would it? You close the clamshell and set in the charger and that's it. It doesn't even tough the screen, which is still in danger of being scuffed by the top one to this day. thats not what i meant, i meant that a 3ds or wii u style cradle for the switch would have 0 chance of ever scratching the screen, because they dont have the weird bits covering the whole device. another plus wouldve been letting the device elegantly charge while in a tabletop mode as the screen would be visible which you can do with the wii u gamepad in its dock. its strange they didnt just do that again and instead introduced an issue that never needed to exist.

TFRazorsaw posted:The Wii U gamepad's charging cradle does a very poor job of holding the thing securely. It's absolutely the last thing that they should have emulated. you can improve that without covering the screen and the entire device and being able to use the tabletop mode while charging while also eliminating the scratched screen issue 100% would be worth it. in fact theres really 0 reason not to have done that, its just a better solution from every possible angle also the reason for the wii u being not entirely secure (never really noticed but we'll go with it) is it uses pins. if you kept the port as it works now instead of using pins that would fix the secure problem entirely

Lemming posted:People will as a general rule do whatever's most effective, not whatever's most fun for them. If there was no weapon durability, and nothing else changed, I could throw away the weapons after I use them a bit myself, but I wouldn't, and I would have less fun as a result since I'd never switch weapons again. what? youre saying you would do something less fun on purpose knowing youd have less fun? that isnt what most people do sorry, in games like dark souls where you get a bunch of fun and interesting weapons and armor, people play the game like a dress up sim despite the high difficulty seemingly "rewarding" min/max play. its just not an issue and trying to rationalise an unfun and limiting design choice this way is bizarre

Lemming posted:There's obviously a continuum but if a tactic is sufficiently more effective, you're going to use it even if it's less fun. no, im not, im going to do whats fun because i play games to have fun? again with games like the souls games which are a lot more challenging than zelda, people genuinely use whatever they find most fun rather than min max builds, because games are about having fun. if you personally find yourself only doing min/max stuff in games and stifling your own fun maybe you should try making a conscious effort not to rather than assuming everyone needs some weird system forced on them to do so

Bill Barber posted:A guy bought 2 joycons and one of them had a slightly different labeled circuit board. "Over at CNET, writer Sean Hollister recounts his experience with Nintendo customer service, which he calls "just about the best electronics customer service I've ever experienced." After getting a free overnight shipping label for his controller after a weekend call, Hollister received his controller back in the mail just five days after sending it. Opening up the fixed controller showed that Nintendo didn't have to do much to correct the connection issue. The only apparent difference is a small piece of black foam sitting on top of the corner of the controller board that houses the Bluetooth antenna trace. Hollister and his colleagues at TechRepublic presume that this is a piece of metal-coated conductive foam, designed to lessen interference from outside sources (including the big metal joystick housing that sits right next to the antenna on the left Joy-Con). Hollister says the controller stops working when the foam is removed, suggesting the tiny fix is all that was really needed."

Lemming posted:I'm talking about the average player. Obviously there are individuals who do whatever they want, but to bring the example back to Zelda, you could make some of the easier games like Twilight Princess more difficult by never getting any more heart containers, and for sure less than 1% of players ever did that. Saying "you could just do x or y to have more fun!" is fundamentally misunderstanding the way that video games work. the average player is a normal human who will naturally try out new weapons etc that they pick up out of curiosity and pick which ones to use based on what they personally feel works best rather than statistical based min maxing. min maxing is not what average players do.
