“We wanted to have VC available at launch but it isn’t feasible. Instead we’ve pushed it back to make sure it’s at its best.”

I’ll tell you what I’ve told many others. If you’re the type of person who has the time to quickly play games start-to-finish, perhaps holding off on the Switch is a good idea; though recognize that it may no longer be available when you want to get one.

Except, it does have a D-Pad, albeit a rather small one. Look at the upper part of the right controller.

No offline Smash Bros Wii U tourneys? If you live near the Atlanta, GA area, a shop called Wasteland Gaming runs Smash, and other fighting game, tournaments every month or so. On top of that, people typically bring in their TVs and Wii U’s to just play each other every Friday.

I got my preorder in for the Switch, twice in fact. The first time, Best Buy’s website went down for me when I finalized the order. The second time was when I replaced the order with Best Buy when I finally got the site up again. After finding out about having 2 orders (I got the confirmation for both the next day), I…

Do you watch the Roosterteeth Podcast? Gus.sorola talked about this horror manga at one point.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the Switch. While exclusives do drive me to buy a console, the Switch fills the one area I’ve been craving since I was 5 years old, being able to play where ever I want.

If I were to venture a guess, another reason why they announced the LoZ Season Pass might be to show that this Zelda game is getting post-game support. Typically speaking, LoZ games are kind of a one-and-done type of thing - you play it, beat it, put it down.

Fair enough. I just wanted to address all the comments about identity theft and what not. Different cultures, different processes.

Just so people know, it is not abnormal in Korea to have your SSN tied to gaming accounts, League of Legends has done it for years. Korea has completely embraced online gaming, and actually regulates it. For example, minors cannot play passed midnight (your account gets shut down at midnight regardless of whether…

Personally speaking, I’ve only ever used the browser on console to see how it worked. After I saw how slow and inconvenient it was, I went back to using my phone.

While just going ahead and releasing Scalebound would make more sense, financially, it would do more long term damage. Having a game in development for that long, just to release buggy, broken and unfinished reflects badly on the console, especially when it’s considered an exclusive. So I think Microsoft, when making…

That’s the other argument going on in the League of Legends scene. Franchising has it’s benefits, but the problem is that it promotes stagnation in the weaker teams. The benefit of relegation is that it make teams actually fight to show that they belong in the LCS. This both helps the players (due to getting paid a…

You’re missing the point. To start off, we need to turn the clock back to the beginning of this season, when all the Venture Capital money started flowing into the game. When teams like Immortals, that are backed by Venture Capital, entered the scene the majority of player salaries doubled - tripled. This put more…

Ahh, you are correct. Every news story I’ve read has stated the tweet came out after the PS4 launch. Well just another case of “I should have checked the source material myself”.

You’re missing the part where developers actually say what features, that they’ve publicly advertised, will not make it into the game BEFORE the game’s launch. Sean Murray seems to have missed that one, he was advertising the feature up to the game’s release.

Responding to your post about being able to see other player’s names and “crossing paths”. Sean Murray clearly said in his interview with Stephen Colbert that you can see other players.

I believe I know what disclaimer you are referencing, and in that one he only said there will be no PVP multiplayer. Meanwhile, Sean Murray has been marketing the ability to see other players in game (read the interview Game Informer did with Sean Murray on NMS). It wasn’t until AFTER fans discovered Sean Murray’s…

To be clear, I’m replying your “you missed the tweet” comment.

It isn’t so much what the game is, but more what the game isn’t. Sean Murray advertised the ability to see other players, but that’s been proven to be false.
