“Nintendo pursuing it own goals and not catering to the need of every possible individual is not in anyway anti-consumer.”

You’re talking as if home consoles are a small niche, it’s half the market they’re ignoring. It’d be one thing if it was just the one model that they were manufacturing but they went and made the…

Oh, you’re absolutely right, and I appreciate your sound reflection amidst this strange chaos. Most don’t know and most that know don’t care, it’s an uphill battle that probably just can’t be won. I have certainly found my own apathy to the situation as well, though it’s still interesting enough to engage in discourse…

I sincerely hope somebody gives you a hug today.

Nintendo is probably the MOST anti-consumer video game company out there. When do you ever hear about Capcom, Namco, or Sony “having to protect their IP” by bullying around people that can’t financially legally defend themselves? Sure, it happens every once in a while, but this is somehow a CONSTANT issue with…

Then that’s perfectly fine. People care about the issues they care about. I honestly hardly care about this one either, but Nintendo’s constant anti-consumerism has frustrated me enough to not buy a Switch. Though that’s 2 generations I’ve skipped now and it does no good, so maybe I’ll buy their next console, who…

But concrete doesn’t grow in gardens...

I brought up that I don’t have a Switch because I’m doing the thing you claim I’m not doing... catch up.

No... Your delirious ramblings are the reflection of your emotional state. I don’t even have a Switch.

As bizarrely stupid as that was (they can’t be ok emotionally), they’re not wrong. In a perfect world people would boycott anti-consumer corporations and they would get the loud and clear message that they need to cut out the asshatery, and copyright and IP laws would be rewritten the world over. We do not live in a…

How many Atari 2600s are people picking up new in box these days? And even if you did find a new PS5 in box 50 years from now and decide to play a game off of a disc that happens to still even be physically viable, how are you going to patch it so that it even functions properly?

I’m with you, it’s often absurd. Look at the controversy that is Mass Effect 3, because they decided to completely rewrite the story in a rush after it got leaked. Who cares if some people already know what the story is, it’s a game that is inherently designed to be replayed, meaning that many people will play it…

“I think that’s a lie they’re saying NOW to make it seem like, “It’s not our fault we decided to make a dumb announcement... it’s your fault, all of you. You made us do that, because you were angry.””

But Bethesda isn’t even saying this, somebody who left Bethesda years ago and no longer has any vested interest in how…

Won’t somebody please think of the controversy!

As somebody that hasn’t played it yet but perpetually plans on it, from what I’ve gathered most people that don’t just have a hard on for dunking on popular things have thought it worth playing since day 1 on anything other than PS4 and XBOne. If they had just cancelled those versions and said, “sorry everybody, turns…

I 100% see where you’re coming from and totally agree, but we also have to look at it realistically. Konami isn’t hardly a video game company anymore, they completely gutted their gaming division, and I honestly never thought I’d see new MGS, Suikoden, or Silent Hill content again. All their new projects are…

I completely forgot that the 3DS version existed, and I never played it (never had a 3DS), so I had no idea regardless. Hopefully they make a few changes to help compensate. While I was far more engrossed in the story than the gameplay, it’d still be nice to have some sort of challenge. At least there’s no camera, so…

You can walk while crouching now, so gameplay has been modernized. How far that will extend is unknown, but it’s definitely not exactly the same.

That was exactly my assumption as well. I guess they make the PES games with Fox Engine, so they may still have some developers with experience in it, but I’ve had the impression that this game is very much contracted out, how true that impression is I have no real idea.

Pretty sure it’s a “how can we spend as little money on this as possible” decision. Konami hasn’t really been making games for the last decade, pachinko is their real business now.
