How is Bethesda bad again? I know everything they release is a bug infested mess, but they at least leave the door open for modders to fix it. look at FO76 bugs galore, minimum work, the price plummeted 2 weeks after launch, and switching out a canvas bag for a nylon bag in the $200 CE that makes a plastic shopping bag look strong(said it cost too much for what would cost less then $5 to make). Then gave $4.99 in in game currency to players as compensation which couldn't even buy the in game canvas bag as that was $7 lol. Finally after they gave in on the CE they exposed the names, addresses, and other info of customers who signed up to get the real canvas bags through a half ass made website. Also they never fix their fuckin bugs. Even remasters still have the same issues that the originals had. IMO that is a terrible business practice. Hell even EA, UBI, and Activision usually fix their buggy games, but Bethesda is like YOLO when it comes to working on a game once they push it out they ignore it. Hell EA with BF5 I think only did a better job at giving fans the middle finger(on PC at least). 2 weeks after launch making BF5 $30 if you own a copy of BF1, or 4(which most ppl who bought the game would), and then saying no refunds, or partial refunds to the day one buyers. In all truth I think it is almost impressive how badly EA fucked this up they pretty much eclipsed Bethesda in the negative gaming news this week lol AstralFrost: What part is unique about the Wii U thats actually positive?

I've never had much faith in the online fee. Partially because there have been a few game developers that stated it's coming out of their pocket, not the console makers'. And if they're able to do that through sales and dlc, than it makes paid online seem like a way for console makers to get money through a practice that compares to both ransomware and piracy. As for Animal Crossing, it's possible. The original game had grab bags. Crazy red sells forged paintings. I see potential for it to be abused. I don't know much about how things work in Pokemon LGP/E. If I remember correctly, Pokemon Go had microtransactions, so I'm not sure if those two have them or not, but they do link to Go, so I'm not sure if that counts for anything or not in your book.

Microsoft has the Xbox brand and they exploit gamers with Xbox Live Gold through paid online, even with third party games, which is pretty much like piracy seeing as they don't run the servers for third party and indie games. Same goes for PlayStation Network and Nintendo Switch Online. In Nintendo's case, it's a bit more hypocritical as they have a strong stance on piracy, but they're doing it themselves. As for Windows and Microsoft office, there is legit competition. You can run Linux on a PC and install software such as Wine and Libre Office to get things done.

It's funny how many people want to argue that Nintendo should bastardize their brand. Thank you, I've tried explaining this so many times and no one seems to understand what I'm saying. -I can buy God of War right now for under $18 -Now, people have it in their head that this is how much a GOW game should cost new (or shortly thereafter) -When the next GOW game comes out, how many people are going to want to pay $60 for it??? This pattern leads to "decreased supposed value" of games. If game developers can only sell their games for $18, they can't afford to make expensive games anymore. This kills the whole game industry and pushes it more to the "cheap mobile games" side. That saddens me. AA games are almost already gone (replaced by indies), and new AAA games are much fewer than in previous years. One has to look at the bigger picture. But, who the hell does that anymore? reportquote

Then they offer 5$ worth of in-game cash which not only isn't enough for anything of notice, it also makes you withdraw your right to complain anymore, as you've accepted your compensation. And when they finally broke and announced they would send actual canvas bags to everyone concerned, they leaked personal data (name, address, credit card number) of every single person that submitted a ticket at the moment.  Let's be honest, this shit puts them miles below Nintendo.

Does literally anyone use the Switch Online app? Why can't you set options freely when playing Mario Tennis Aces online? How is it that Nintendo looked at Smash 4, where For Glory was the only thing people played online, and switched to the new godawful system where even Elite Smash will throw you into an FFA against your will and make you sit and watch the rest after you're eliminated or be banned?

Shit, even EA in their starting years were pretty fucking great (I’m talking about the yellow tab genesis cartridge EA that gave us road rash etc) activision made some pretty awesome 2600 games and Nintendo blew my little mind with the release of the SNES.  Call me jaded but once the industry exploded and became bigger than Hollywood ALL company’s started chasing the pound/dollar signs and why blame them? It’s our fault though we humoured the microtransaction model and made it so successful I can’t see it go away, yes, it’s a cancer in the industry but we feed it (I’m not attacking anyone on here just referring to the “royal” WE as in gamers, unless you are that person who bought the horse armor DLC back in Oblivion, then YES I am blaming you 😂) The poster who mentions EA is completely correct though they are the devil in gaming and have destroyed MANY a great studio (BioWare, Bullfrog, Lionhead) Nintendo as a whole will have to try to be scummy a hell of a lot more to match the levels of Trip Hawkins modern company. 3DS FC - 0018-0160-7304 - Taff PSN - taff1337 Switch - 4968-6775-4086 reportquote

      DoMyEyesLie 43 minutes ago#108 @butthole666 Artificial product shortages the benefit nobody I see this brought up a lot and I get why but at the same time, I can also see the other side of this. In example, they way over estimated their sales for Wii U and overstocked it which hurt them financially and for 3DS while the sales weren't as bad, the sales stagnated early on and ended up being only about half of what DS did. After seeing these things, then taking into consideration how toys to life was going for other companies and how little "classic" systems from other companies were selling, they weren't expecting the demand for their own classic systems and amiibos to be so high. Even with the Switch, considering how the Wii U and 3DS did prior, their expectations were much lower. Furthermore, looking at the tech world at the time they launched, they also had to deal with companies like Apple and Samsung causing shortages across tech world when they launched Switch and the strike in the docks in California when they launched amiibos. General pricing Some of the games are more expensive due to carts, but that's where my complaints end. Similar performing portable hardware is more expensive. IE, the GPD Win 2 is $699, Switch is $299. The XB1 controller is $60 + the play and charge battery is $25. The Switch Pro Controller is $70. The dock is pricey but it comes with the system. Micro SD cards are more expensive then HDD's but nothing is as bad as Vita memory cards. Online is $20, while PS+ is $60. Their DRACONIAN content policies (which were conveniently lifted just ahead of Smash) and the myriad controversies surrounding them I'm going to need some examples of this. amiibos, essentially microtransactions with plastic While I'm not really an Amiibo fan, I have 20 or so. I get why some people like them for collectability but I don't have much room for that. On the flip side, every Amiibo I purchased works in multiple games. This puts it ahead of typical micro transactions or other Toys to Life figurines imo. Taking down ROM sites full of games not legally available then using the exact ROM rips (albeit a small fraction of them) from said sites in their “classic” consoles I see both sides of this but I agree with you on Nintendo's actions here. On one end, getting ROM's online is like downloading music, shows, and movies. In other industries, this has been considered clear cut stealing and companies have gone after sites and individuals over this. On the other end, I don't like how the console companies are asking users to repurchase games or subscribe to access the games they purchased on previous hardware. When talking other tech companies such as Apple or Google, they don't try to force their users into repurchasing their music and videos they bought prior. When talking PC gaming, games that I purchased 20 years ago on hardware that was quite different still work on my PC I built a few weeks ago (some with a bit of emulation and trickery mind you). But when it comes to companies like Nintendo and Sony, even though the majority of their games are up and running on a variety of hardware, they don't want to support your purchases from their own services on their modern hardware as they want to resell those games and get service subscriptions. At least Microsoft is making an effort.. Putting all of that into perspective, Nintendo's decision to go after ROM sites is just adding fuel to the flames. Sure, they have the right to do it, but it was a dick move. And a general hesitant stance towards modernizing I agree with this. They're stuck in the past with their policies on how they're handling online. That said, I'm very glad that they're embracing 3rd parties with Switch and supporting consumer friendly things like cross platform play, cross platform progression, and local multiplayer.

I know everything they release is a bug infested mess, but they at least leave the door open for modders to fix it. There has been quite a bit of scandal revolving around Fallout 76 One of which was the collectors edition bag Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I don't think fo76 is nearly as bad as people act like. I think it's a good, but flawed game. Those flaws just stop it from being great though. They don't stop it from being good.  However...  They gave cheap nylon bags instead of actual canvas bags like what was promised. The CS reps response was "they were too expensive to make, so we went with these. We aren't paying on doing anything about it. "  After that, a community organizer came out to try and fix the situation. The response was pretty much "what they said is true, but not how they are suppose to say it. Here's 5$ of in game currency for the people that bought our $200 collectors edition". Then after more uproar, they are finally fixing it. Then they also listed all the things they knew the community would like in their patch notes, and had a lot of hidden nerfs in it that they didn't mention because they knew the community would be mad.  This was seriously scummy (the bag thing)... I will say that this is the only real thing I can give a complaint about though. Play Gamefaqs Bingo with me.
