I’d argue it’s somewhere between “Poochie died on the way back to his home planet” and “The mute sniper lady has to be half-naked because she would suffocate otherwise!”

You can generally save $100 over time by buying games physically (including used) as long as you don’t intend on buying every single game as soon as it comes out. You can definitely save $50 that way.

While playing, when I realized that there was never any answer to “where did all the Sheikah BS go”, outside of a few bits here & there either left behind or repurposed into the new towers, I was disappointed.

Read all the books and cite all the economic “rules” you want, nobody cares what a thing “should have” cost if it had been adjusted for inflation all along. It wasn’t, and we just care what it cost now compared to a year ago.

The “reality” is all economic “rules” are completely made up and selectively “enforced.”

Now,…

Not to mention, the towers in TotK clearly use the guardian arms in their design.

This contrived shit wouldn’t have happened if TotK did end up becoming a very big DLC to BotW initially. The worldbuilding with the Zonai and their tech and it being the center of the world and its new architecture is still...pretty weak. It could of worked, but “people fascinated with the new tech” doesn’t really…

My god, that’s lazy. And I mean “Poochie died on the way to his home planet” lazy. I personally didn’t love the tech-y parts of BotW so whatever, but if you’re going to have such a weak answer, maybe just don’t give an answer at all.

I mean, fine I guess? It isn’t something that bothered me. But the explanation kinda screams “cop out excuse” lol.

ngl, Sheikah tech has always been some of the weakest and most contrived parts of BotW/TotK lore.

I dunno, what about making the game actually fun to play? Did they say anything about that?

The only difference is that the games would be available on more platforms and on Game Pass, which would be good for customers.

Huh. I’d love them to buy Nintendo. Nintendo is really shitty to its fans and won’t release any of their titles outside their platform, so it really can’t get any worse.

won’t release any of their titles outside their platform

I would hate for them to buy Nintendo. First of all, "their success lies off their hardware" means they would kill the Switch and move things onto Xbox. Second of all, no I can't argue this anymore it's just too awful to consider 

It’s just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long time…. :-)

It’s not just the price increase, but the multiplication of services. Everything used to be under the Netflix banner, and then content providers started withdrawing their shows and starting their own streaming services.

Outside of stuff like Game Pass where you can ‘bank’ an extended period of time at a pretty steep discount if you keep an eye out, I’ve long since adopted the a la carte purchase model with subscriptions, which is to say I cancel them the instant I buy them.

Completely removes the burden of trying to keep track of…

I get the joke, but this does seem different because everyone has agreed already. Everyone is on board with a universal standard. 

This is all I have to say
