The Switch itself is great but God the community sucks. Imagine throwing a fit that the same company you're supporting is still supporting the 3DS with new games.

The console pretty much has only one good original game that I can think of right now (Mario Odyssey) with everything else being a port. 

It is pretty lame. I bought it because I wanted new games, not old ones.

The Switch has been out for merely a year, but they have several great games already. I'm not going to speak about the community since I haven't interacted with any of them, really, but the console is doing great.

Good for you. You're wrong, as it was designed specifically for WiiU before they decided the Switch needed a launch title worth anything (and purposefully cut out previously advertised features just so the Switch version wasn't inherently inferior), but good for you.

I used to last year. It was actually pretty calm when people were happy about BotW and Odyssey.

It's become a cesspool pretty recently. I recognize jayj though. He was one of the people that made complain posts literally every day even during the decent times.

But it was developed for the Wii U and was delayed solely to launch alongside the switch.

Ahh... lucky you. I work at a technical industry too, but people here either don't game (I don't even know) or barely game. I have one friend at my workplace who owns a Switch, and he plays Rocket League and literally nothing else.

Ooo I dunno. One could make the case that if the Switch never existed they'd make the game on another platform. So there's ANOTHER IP the Switch can't claim.

If you go to the top tab and click on a system, and then the tab that says "board" in the menu below the bolded title of the system, you'll go into the system board. It's an absolute clusterfuck there though, especially the Switch board.

This is such a worthless distinction though. It doesn't really negatively affect anything of value. It just means the small base of Wii U owners could play a good game, and so can the owners of a Switch.

It's not like Nintendo's trying to grow some Wii U base either. They haven't been too subtle about just wanting to let it die in peace quickly

'Kay.

You seem upset, but okay. I'm just saying that since it's a simultaneous release it doesn't matter if it's a port or not. People are complaining about ports in general because it's "games we already played." BotW should not fall under that category.

That's only one part of it. The bigger part is that a lack of exclusive titles is a deal breaker. What's the point of buying a Switch if 99% of the games on it can be played elsewhere?

Eh, I think the major thing with that is that "it's the same game but portable now." Which does appeal to some people. Hell, I'm considering double dipping on Doom and Sonic Mania for that reason.

    For the challenge? Also, when done right, achievements and trophies can get you to play games in fun ways you may not have considered previously. Personally I like achievements and would like to see Nintendo's version of them. Implementing them would make a lot of people happy, and literally doesn't do anything negative to anyone else.

    I play games in fun ways I haven't considered previously because I find it fun to do so. That's why I did a No Sphere Grid run and attempted a Solo-Lulu challenge in FFX, and why I like Nuzlocke runs in Pokenon. None of those give me an achievement. Hell, those runs prevent me from getting a lot of achievements in FFX.

    You know what does give an achievement in FFX? Dodging 200 lightning bolts to get an utterly useless weapon for Lulu. One I was never going to use, because I made her a far better weapon on my own. That and the Butterfly Catching minigame are the only things I don't bother doing in FFX. I completed the Sphere Grid for every character, captured 10 of every monster, beat all the optional bosses and superbosses, yet there's no reason whatsoever to waste time doing stupid minigames that give me nothing I'm going to use but a useless achievement. It's not fun. It's not challenging. It's just tedious and unrewarding.

    I don't need a game to tell me how to challenge myself, especially if half the things it wants me to do aren't even fun or challenging, just pointless and tedious.

    Probably because...

    1. 99% of the games on it can't actually be played elsewhere

    2. Games that are being released on both Switch and 3DS are liable to be better on the Switch

    3. You shouldn't need to figure out why Wii U games are being ported to the Switch. Wii U tanked and is no longer in production. These games might as well still be new.

    I don't understand why people complain about these Wii U ports. Almost no one played these games and people want to play them but don't want to buy a dead console, AND they're releasing new games almost every month. Nintendo has released more worthwhile 1st party games in their first year than Sony has in their first 2 years with the PS4

    People are competitive by nature. Trophies and achievements are today's version of a high score. Did you never try to beat the high score in an arcade game or pinball machine? We used to put our initials up as proof we were the best until someone took that spot from us. It was as meaningless as achievements and trophies are to some people, but to others it added another level of enjoyment to those games.

    I guess, but does anyone even ever look at another person's achievements? I can't say I ever have. At least with the high score tags on arcades, everyone had to see you had the high score.

    By then, BOTW and Odyssey might be cheaper too

    They're 35-40 bucks right now with GCU at best buy

    People are competitive by nature. Trophies and achievements are today's version of a high score. Did you never try to beat the high score in an arcade game or pinball machine? We used to put our initials up as proof we were the best until someone took that spot from us. It was as meaningless as achievements and trophies are to some people, but to others it added another level of enjoyment to those games.


    I guess, but does anyone even ever look at another person's achievements? I can't say I ever have. At least with the high score tags on arcades, everyone had to see you had the high score.

    My friends and I have gamerscore races all the time. We'll all agree on a total, say 10k, and I'll record everyone's scores at midnight of the day we intend to start. It's fun because it takes a long time to add 10k to your score if you already have a decent score. We might add stipulations like no walking simulators or ONLY free games with gold titles count. Also, M$ has a monthly leaderboard for you and all your friends to show who is scoring the most points currently. It's great when I'm in the top 5 of my (roughly) 200 friends, and I get encouraged to play more when certain friends are ahead of me. Very much like high scores in arcade machines.

    I get it, though. The first time I got an achievement, playing Dead Rising, I was like, Wtf was that? After figuring it out I thought, Who gives af? They don't do anything. After hitting 10k I started feeling differently and started actually trying to get more. Everytime I hit a new milestone, like 25k, 50k, 100k, I felt like I could actually account for all those wasted hours with a visible representation. Lol. I'm being somewhat tongue-in-cheek here, but it's all just wasting time, really. I still enjoy it all the same.

    FFS it doesn't matter whether it's a port or not. It was a newly released game.

    It kind of matters. So you’d be ok if all the new games were just rereleased NES games? It’s cool and all but I understand why some people are upset. It’s a new console. They want more new content. Not updated versions of games they already played.

    Besides Mario Kart, which had an actual proper, extremely fun, battle mode added, what are you talking about?

    These freaks literally thinks achievements are worthless to implement, there's no need for a web browser/Netflix/YouTube because it's a game console and you have a smartphone/tablet anyway, and that a NES game a month is worthwhile content with their paid online.

    I like the Switch but the fanbase can fuck right off


    So are these so called "rabid fans" endlessly complaining or mindlessly praising?

    And the point is I can play the game on portable that's the whole selling point. I can play 2k18 on a handheld with good graphics never done before and then pop in Mario

    A bunch of ports and only one IP (Splatoon)

    The console pretty much has only one good original game that I can think of right now (Mario Odyssey) with everything else being a port. 

    It is pretty lame. I bought it because I wanted new games, not old ones.

    Lol I assume you are making fun of the community with these comments because if you’re serious you are part of the problem.

    People can dislike something that they spent money on. It is odd, it is like with video games, there is the only thing were people complain that the users are unhappy with something. Well besides being unhappy with EA .

    @Darklit_Minuet 
    I don't need a game to tell me how to challenge myself, especially if half the things it wants me to do aren't even fun or challenging, just pointless and tedious.

    And that's all well and good. But that means that achievements are worthless for you and you alone. You say it's tedious, I say it's replay value. It's not like it'll be detrimental to the people who ignore them in the first place, unless you're one of those vain people who care about how other people play.

    A lot of games nowadays aren't worth 100%ing anyway, achievements let me know when to stop.

    Switch had by FAR the best first year game lineup of any console I've owned. Yeah some were ports. From a console I never owned and never had any intention of buying. So Mario Kart 8 and Bayonetta 2 were brand new to me. 

    I'm not sure how Breath of the Wild is any more of a "port" than literally any first party title on Xbox. It launched in two platforms simultaneously. It's not like it was a game anyone had played prior to the Switch launch.

    The fact is that Switch literally competed with itself for GOTY awards between Mario and Zelda. It also got Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, the surprisingly fantastic Mario + Rabbids, etc. Plus all those "ports" that nobody except, at most, the 12 million Wii U owners could have played. Howng has it been since Microsoft put out a first party title that wasn't Forza?

    Literally all of those are remasters that come with multiple games, are being sold at reduced prices, or both

    Most of the Switch ports are 1:1 single versions being charged at full price with the occasional DLC inclusions.

    Who the fuck would buy Doom for the Switch for $60 when you can get a superior version elsewhere with all the DLC for $15-20, unless you really need to play it on the go?

    I didn't know that Skyrim, Dark Souls, God of War 3, Last of Us, and Modern Warfare all came with multiple games 🤔 news to me

    Why would anyone want to buy any of the other games on that list when most of them came out last generation, and a huge amount of people already played them? It's not like there was any shortage of people with 360s and PS3s. The Wii U is a different story though, so porting those games actually makes sense.

    Can't really reason why someone would want to choose Doom on the Switch for full price though, you're right on that.

    Yeah the portability is heavenly. You can't play any of those games on your bed lying sideways on other consoles, having a container of sorts to hold your switch sidewards. Of course the Joy Cons are flexible so you can have your arms in a very comfy position.

    But also you're playing a home console level game. The only other thing is having a beer cap or perhaps some tube mechanism so you can drink, game, and lie down in peace. That would be the life.

    Anybody that buys more than one game a year and buys them at a full price is a complete fool.

    I haven't paid more than 47.99 for the newest game. You can get it for 43.99 at GS rn or you could go the offerup route and get it even cheaper

    I can't speak on the community, but I like the Switch. I have 5 games so far (got it for my son for Christmas), plan on getting more, and don't mind the ports. I got Bayonetta 1 & 2 cuz I never got to experience them, and they're fantastic. Half the PS4 games I own are like remakea/remasters as is tbh. I'm getting Dark Souls 🤷‍♂
