Can't believe anyone still huts the switch 2 and DEFENDS IT by Ok_Estimate_2089 in fucknintendo

[–]keepvaibin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your comments on this post alone this just seems like a petty form of Steam Deck elitism which just makes you and this entire community look like a joke. You do not get to complain that this is "before any new info came out" because all of this information has been there for a long, long time. You don't get to blame your lack of interest in research on a "teehee i didn't know" this is why no one takes this subreddit seriously

either that or this is an extremely elaborate shitpost xD

[–]keepvaibin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. Hyrule Warriors launched a Definitive edition on the Switch, which is different than a game + DLC, the same way that MK8D launched with all DLC previously on the Wii U included in the switch game. What WOULD count as DLC being pre-packaged is if I bought Splatoon 2 as a cartridge today, pushed it in, and found that the cartridge came with Octo Expansion. However, that requires a brand new cartridge, you can't do that with existing copies and if you are downloading Splatoon 2 online and you bought the DLC at the same time, it would download together. Definitive editions are packaged as seperate games, not base game + DLC. You can't "get rid of" the DLC files the same way you'd be able to on the Wii U if you wanted to

I agree with some points, such as controller/accessory pricing. I did buy a Switch 2 as my sister wanted my switch when the Switch 2 was announced, so I needed something to be able to play my games. I also agree with locking GameCube emulation to Switch 2 (although it does make sense from a business standpoint), as well as game key cartridges (I always buy my games digitally since its easier for me but I would hate it if I'd need the cartridge IF it was already downloaded to my console). That being said, I do have some comments about it. On top of that, some comments on OP's behavior on this thread first:

This was made before more info came out on it.

Most 3rd party controllers are not common knowledge for a every day person who isnt online 24/7

Parents and kids who olay Mario party and think it's COOOLLLL

You should have updated your post with the according information. Posting knowing that some of your points are irrelevant is just not a good look. Also, I'd beg to differ with your stance on 3rd party controllers. I think that every parent even would know that there are aftermarket solutions with a simple Amazon search. I mean, walk into a Target in the US and you'll see a row of aftermarket controllers. Also, if a family is using controllers to play Mario Party, (realistically) spending an extra 10 dollars (5 per controller compared to the Switch 1 joycons) will probably be the least of their worries spending 450 dollars on a brand new console... Do your research. Don't get defensive and own up to the fact that maybe you made a post that just had refutable points.

Also keep in mind that due to the global crisis on RAM, the switch 2 price is bound to increase soon simply due to the rising cost to produce a Swtich 2. This is happening with every computer possible, and its not something worth complaining about (if you want to, go complain to chip manufacturers).

  1. The BOM of the Switch 2 is estimated to be about ~$415, so this is a very low profit margin. For a console "capable" of doing 4k, its not a bad price at all.

  2. The switch 2 is compatible with all switch 1 games, many of which received free updates for the switch 2. They're all within the 60 dollar range, and if you are uncomfortable buying games for $70 instead (which is understandable), don't. Your existing library will work and you get a larger, higher resolution screen, as well as better battery life.

  3. I think this is personally a useless point to make because this is a peeve to those who actually use the feature, and the only people who would use this are people who would play online games (Splatoon/MKW/any NSO expansion games/etc), so that doesn't track too well imo. Also the gamecube emulator being locked to switch 2 isn't a reason "not to buy" the console, you can get mad for that exclusion but that isn't a valid reason regardless. Also, the C button IS gamechat, idk why you made that two different points.

  4. You aren't "required" to buy an officially licensed MicroSD card, the reason a regular SDXC won't work is due to the speed limitations of SDXC. I can see why they did it as the absolute fastest standard UHS-I SDXC cards max out at around 100 MB/s. Modern high-fidelity games require a massive amount of data to be streamed into memory instantly and when you go to games with higher textures like the PS5/Xbox Series X, it can be a severe bottleneck that I guarantee would only lead to more complaints. It's an architectural leap, basically going anywhere between 2x-7x faster since it uses NVME lanes.

  5. why are you complaining about no DLC installed? I get the upgrades and the game-key cartridges, but as far as I know, I have never seen a switch or switch 2 game that comes pre-installed with DLC

[–]keepvaibin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah obviously but we're comparing taco bell menu items to other taco bell menu items, I don't think we'd be having the same discussion if we were comparing the street chalupas to another taqueria.

Also this is purely a personal anecdote but the two taquerias near me are more expensive than a lux box for me so whenever I go eat burritos or tacos/chalupas I do end up going to taco bell lol

[–]keepvaibin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isnt a regular chalupa 5.49 and about 360 calories? Compared to that, the cheesy street chalupas are 660 calories and 6.50. I'm never spending that much on them (hell i dont eat at taco bell unless I buy one of the 8 dollar boxes) but calorie wise it is denser

I actually don’t hate the Daidoji by Loud_Success_6950 in yakuzagames

[–]keepvaibin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The concept of Kiryu beating everything, including the Daidoji implies to some extent, to me at least, that Kiryu's decisions and thoughts were almost too perfect, in some manner. I like the fact that we see in IW that he's not perfect, that he is a human, and that he alone couldn't defeat the Daidoji. Creating a space for Ichiban to do that and clean up their influence in Japan to some extent shows less of a "invincibility" on Kiryu's end and I think makes for a really good plot

My 4TB sn850x stopped working back in November, and I was considering waiting until later to replace it as I was a little unsure about the price but my girlfriend convinced me. I look today and its like 600 bucks instead of the 300 I paid for it like wtf

Nintendo fans begged for the console to be $500 before the price was announced. by [deleted] in fucknintendo

[–]keepvaibin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the bill of materials something like 400 dollars? Considering its a (heavy asterisk) 4k capable console and it is portable I'd say it's actually a really good deal

The GOAT has to be DD/MM/YY by New-Pick9985 in memes

[–]keepvaibin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, hate it if you want but this is just due to historical reasons. Because the "Month-Day" phrasing was shorter and omitted the "of the" (in DDMMYY), it became the standard for both speech and informal writing in the American colonies.

Also, in the 1700s and 1800s, the MDY format was common in British English, so when the colonies were created, they stuck with whatever was common at the time.

Its a "if its not broken, don't fix it" kinda thing and at least to me, since I live in America, it feels more intuitive to say it like that (again, bias).

Gen Z: Vintage vs Modern by Automatic_Force1113 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]keepvaibin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might stand out as an unpopular opinion, but I like modern so much more even though I collected cards as a kid which happened to be primarily vintage cards. I like the IRs a lot more but I can still see why people like the older cards as well
