Most of that shit is bait you cherrypicking faggot, same shit with all the PS4 paid online replies.
The only pro is that its cheaper but its still fucking paid online which is bullshit.
>>
Personally I just think $20 for a year is not so bad. Essentially if you buy online for 4 years over the course of your console (there may be some time here or there you don't want to play anything online) that's $80. Compare that to Sony/Microsoft where in the safe timeframe you're paying $200. Basically, if Nintendo started charging $20 in a vacuum I would think it's super fucked up, but because Sony and Microsoft have managed to be even more jewish it doesn't seem so bad.

It's shit posting. He posts pictures of an open world game to insult a system's power. Anyone knows open world games always look like shit because they're extremely resource intensive.

Well I dont blame you.
Its not a matter of being old, its a matter of business being awful but people not being able to function without it, and/or the common populace just not caring about the shitty practices.
But when things like this happen, people on here are usually the vocal minority and ignored, hell even when theres outcry outside of here buisnesses might ignore it.

I like the idea of fighting it, but it seems so hopeless, I'm just glad it took Nintendo so long to jump on board, they're the last ones to do it.

>>378955752
>it is literally just thread after thread with nothing but praise
do you know what false flagging is? Anyways we all knew it was coming and just a matter of time so we were waiting to see what service they were offering. 20$ a year for a Netflix like service is actually not that bad, and plus online will still be free until 2018. Granted I think we all would agree that free online is the best option which is why I own a PC, and Nintendo games are very single player oriented anyway so not buying an online pass is basically optional as it won't effect most games in any way. Perceived value is also a strategy at play here, believe it or not normies actually do like to pay for online because it makes it feel like it's worth something. Same thing as how Nintendo game prices never drop, they don't drop the price because it makes the game feel more valuable over time.

I'm not defending the practice but it's still a hell of a lot better than the competition save for PC. We really won't know the full story on what it offers though until it comes out so we should save our opinions until then.

These issues were not even issues last gen. Let people start group chats where they only talk to their friends. It's that simple.

Nah son, after the WiiU, I'm never buying another Nintendo product ever again. I'll wait till their shit gets emulated on PC.

That's fucking retarded. Nothing announced for the Switch thus far looks appealing to me. And SMTV, the only possibly worthwhile game will probably be multiplat, and if it's not, I'll wait for Switch emulation to play it, as, at this point, Nintendo consoles getting emulated on PC has more certainty than seeing a new Metroid that doesn't suck dick.

Not really. I'm borrowing my cousins Switch and playing BoTW on it. Its comfy, and its a better excecution of the Wii U, but you really dont need to own one right now since theres nothing really worth it for now. Some ports sound cool, but its like the Vita where its a mixed bag.

>>
>>378962451
Very well, I'll try and see what I remember, take into account this was around NES era and such, Nintendo had pretty fucked policies with the production of cartridges, ports and such

For one, a studio had a set number of games they could make per year for the platform, Nintendo wouldn't accept any more beyond those, and Nintendo did everything in their power to prevent games made for them to not appear anywhere else

They also were the only existing manufacturers of NES cartridges, and if you wanted to release the game you had to pay them in full before they started production, for an amount they chose according to what they estimated the game would sell. And you couldn't do anything with the cartridges that didn't sell, not even refund them. Lots of people didn't manage to break even because of that

I guess it unsurprisingly varies from person to person and where one lives. I don't usually have time to play games when I'm not at home. And well don't use public transport because it's cheaper and more fun to just drive or bicycle to work or where ever i'm going.

but then again when i was in japan a lot of people played games in public. i think a lot of it was kind of like just people hanging playing multiplayer games. which makes sense and is probably fun.

someone with sense.

I never criticized paid online. Nintendo had online for free, and it was just basic. Now they're actually adding services, and deals, and NES games while being subbed for 20 bucks a year. I may as well, and they still haven't detailed the VC.
>>
>>378975310
This is exactly what baffles me. If you just shut the fuck up and paid because you didn't have any other option I would understand, it sucks. Yet you go online and defend it, even though it doesn't benefit you in any way and it directly siphons money from you for something that should be free.

Guess I'll never be much of a drone to understand this behavior, and it feels kinda good.
>>
>>378975310
Nintendo's online service traditionally has never been good, and there's barely any good online multiplayer games on Nintendo systems. Even at $20 a year, why should I bother when I could get a good game for that price when you already have to pay your internet service providers? I was annoyed by it on the Xbox 360, I hated it on the PS4, and I dont care enough to get it on the Switch.

In the end you're still paying for the same thing that used to be free.

I just ditched console online when it went pay to play. To be honest there isn't really any console games worth playing online let alone pay to play them. Most of it is just forced multiplayer modes tagged along the single player because every game has to have online nowadays.

Maybe racing games or sports games if some people care about those. Fighting games seem to be pretty popular to play online, but just personal opinion those are much more fun to play with friends in the same room. Otherwise you could as well be just playing against cpu.
>>
>>378976006
>People saying it's unfair don't understand how companies operate.
But it is unfair. What you're saying is that it makes sense from a business point of view, which doesn't stop it from being anti-consumer.

>If you feel it's too expensive, don't get it. Don't waste time yelling about how terrible it is because it's not going to do anything.

>>378976198
True, but it's a negligable amount and in most cases you're paying for online services that are far more advanced than their equivalents when it was free. IMO if the services don't improve now that they have a steadier income flow, it's not worth subbing.

With fighting games, the allure to playing online is knowing that you can outsmart your opponent. It's a way different experience than playing predictable CPUs.
>>
>>378976430
It being annoying and not in favor of the consumer doesn't make it unfair. As I said a P2P service should improve with time now that is has a steady income, otherwise it's better to not use it. Obviously if the service is really shitty most people won't pay for it. This is how any market works.

As I said, nobody makes threads about how amazing paid online is. It just doesn't happen. The only time someone "defends" paid online is when people scream about how terrible it is.

>>378976829
>Making consumers pay for a bad service that used to be free
Sounds pretty unfair to me.

>As I said a P2P service should improve with time now that is has a steady income, otherwise it's better to not use it
Because that totally happened the last two times paid online was implemented.

>Obviously if the service is really shitty most people won't pay for it. This is how any market works.
If you want to play online, you have to pay. There's no way around it, not matter how shitty the service is you have no other option.

>The only time someone "defends" paid online is when people scream about how terrible it is.
And why do you feel the need to defend it? Are you that much of a contrarian that you can't accept people shitting on it even though they're right?
>>

Not everything that makes you unhappy is unfair. There was nothing ever requiring them to make their online matchmaking free.

>Because that totally happened the last two times paid online was implemented.

Compare XBL in 2007 to XBL now. It's definitely improved.

>If you want to play online, you have to pay. There's no way around it, not matter how shitty the service is you have no other option.

Yes. Idk if you realize this but you're not automatically entitled to the ability to play a game online.

And why do you feel the need to defend it? Are you that much of a contrarian that you can't accept people shitting on it even though they're right?

I'm not saying it's good, I'm saying it's fair. Also you've made a circular argument there, when you said "even though they're right."

I'm discussing the law, I'm discussing fairness. Paying $300+ for the console, $60 for the game, $40+ for a good internet connection and on top of that having to pay a monthly fee for a bad service that goes down often and even compromises your credit card info because you don't you can't play your game to the fullest is unfair.

I don't know why I bother honestly, it's pretty clear from the words you use that you're a corporate drone.

Unfortunately you mass of whores, even though you preach it like golden gospel. Didn't. Vote. With. Your. Wallet. If you sluts would've just refused purchasing next gen consoles that had paid online it would all be fine.

And before you memetastic cuntboys argue "it makes for a better service". Hold these companies to a damn high standard, if they release a game with shitty servers they get nothing. Force them to put effort into their product or they sink.

>This statement is completely irrelevant, do you know what unfair means?

Let me rephrase. What is wrong about charging for a service you're providing? The fact that the service in question was once free isn't relevant. Where is the moral fault in asking for money in exchange for a service because you don't think you should be providing it for free anymore?

>How many times did PSN go down in the last 2 years?

I wouldn't know, I don't use PSN. Sounds like a shitty online service to me.

>I'm discussing the law, I'm discussing fairness. Paying $300+ for the console, $60 for the game, $40+ for a good internet connection and on top of that having to pay a monthly fee for a bad service that goes down often and even compromises your credit card info because you don't you can't play your game to the fullest is unfair.

I assume you meant you're not discussing the law. The game you buy has the capacity to participate in online play but you need an additional service for that feature to actually function. If the service is bad, don't pay for it. Switch to a more reliable service on a different console. Something being expensive doesn't make it unfair.

If you can't bear to go without playing online, then yes, you have to pay the price that the provider of the service asks for. It's obviously not so unbearable if millions are happily paying for it.

20 bucks a year isn't bad, it could be a lot worse. But I still don't want to fucking do it.

paid online is the main reason I still don't have a PS4.
>>
>>378979729
>What is wrong about charging for a service you're providing?
The service you're providing is minimal, since the user is already paying for their own internet connection.Why should you charge people to use their own internet? Server costs are negligible, P2P even more so.

>Sounds like a shitty online service to me.
And people still use it because it's the only way to play a game they already paid for. But that's totally fair.

>The game you buy has the capacity to participate in online play but you need an additional service for that feature to actualy function.
So you're okay with companies holding an integral part of your games hostage behind a monthly fee?

>Something being expensive doesn't make it unfair.
It is if you're inflating the price for no reason and there's no competition for the consumer to switch to.

>I don't like that I have to pay for stuff so you're just a drone for disagreeing.

Idk about PSN but with XBL it also includes parties and custom lobby-finding services, as well as 4 free games a month. As I said it's not really people using their own internet as it giving people access to a service using their own internet. Do you think P2P MMOs are also unjustified?

>And people still use it because it's the only way to play a game they already paid for.

Guess who's fault that is? You're forgetting vidya is a luxury, if you buy games knowing that certain features will be behind a paywall then it's nobody's fault but yours.

>So you're okay with companies holding an integral part of your games hostage behind a monthly fee?

I'm ok with being charged for a matchmaking service in order to access a new way to play my game, yea. I'd like if I didn't have to pay, just like I'd like if I didn't have to pay for games or consoles, but that doesn't happen.

>It is if you're inflating the price for no reason and there's no competition for the consumer to switch to.

There are 3 main consoles as well as PC, each with different online features. Saying there's nothing to switch to is BS.

>Try not using buzzwords like "spoiled" or "entitled".

I don't think I have but either way that is the point I'm going for, yea.
