Hardware’s a big factor, but another one is that by every aspect of design (for better or worse), MHW is a western Monster Hunter aiming on breaking into western markets past its somewhat niche fanbase.

If Monster Hunter World was a Switch exclusive, it would be a must-by for me. Nintendo really dropped the ball not scooping up exclusive rights to that game. I bought a 3DS just to play MHGen. Other games I’m looking at as potential console sellers are the new Smash and Pokemon games. Though they’ll probably just end…

Though Mario Kart is one of the main reasons I stick with Nintendo.... MK8D rubber banding and blue shelling is ridiculous. I’ve had to give it a break because it pissed me off too much. This feels like it’s worse than ever before. No problem with MK7... But yeah... MK8D... I may just have to abandon this shit as I’m…

No joke. I literally hate the mk series now. It’s so sad. I don’t enjoy being punished every race because I’m good. But I guess I didn’t realize that Nintendo only makes party games

Haven’t played MK in a while, but I’ve always hated the way drops work. I did a little PvP in the 3DS days, but once I realized all anyone was doing was trying to hang back to get blue and red shells to spam at the end of the race, I quit. Losing when you’ve been ahead the whole race can be annoying, but winning the…

The rubberbanding and ai nonsense is ridiculous in MK8D. If I maintain my lead across all three laps, I will be bombarded and hit by a flurry of redshells at the same turn every lap.

A good game ruined by bullshit AI and idiotic design decisions.

I imagine this would be the top question for any 3DS games coming out now that don’t extensively employ the second-screen, touch controls, etc.

Likewise, and I don’t think this is really an unreasonable mindset at this point.

You know how you can instantly tell a game isn’t for you? I don’t need this kind of anger from video games in my life.

It’s this sort of design ideal that has always made me loathe Mario Kart above all other racing games.

Witcher 3 already gave us an absurd amount of content in the base game.

How is this DLC done right? The first batch of DLC, barring the new outfits, is basically what you would expect from a free update on most other games.

Can I get some of that crack your smoking?

This place is pretty casual these days. They bitched and groused with every other lame DLC produced but Nintendo does it and its awesome.

I think The Witcher 3 set the bar of what to expect from a sprawling open world RPG from a quality perspective, and only did so further with how they managed post-release updates and DLC.

Forget the analogies then because you are not actually arguing anything. You are just saying, using a lot of words, that you don’t care. You don’t care about these changes so you don’t care that they cost anything. Before this season pass was announced, would you ever have imagine yourself paying for a higher…

You actually didn’t ask a question. You simply tied the map tracker to the false belief that I was saying the game should be delayed. Having tossed that out, you moved on to saying everything in the game is perfect as is, and any change whatsoever that Nintendo is making constitutes completely distinct but superfluous…

It is fucking crazy. I am actually kind of stunned. I can usually understand some kind of argument behind a lot of shady stuff publishers pull off even if I really really don’t agree with the decisions but I honestly don’t see anything resembling an honest argument for this.

Uh that map thing and the fast travel point sound like features that should just be added to the vanilla game via free patch. They’re quality of life improvements that nobody should have to pay for as part of DLC. In fact, this entire package seems like a small portion of the free updates we got for Witcher 3 long…
