>Console war shit
Who cares? Can't we just enjoy that the game is actually selling?

>>387232373
>You have no standards.
But it's Switch users that are buying the game? I don't get it.

Also, I'm not sure if using Splatoon image while taking about low standards is intentionally ironic or not.

Post sauce then.

>>387232501
Fucking this.

>>387232501
No

>>387232373
well of course it is, switch has no games so theyre desperate

>>387232630
Splatoon is one of the freshest and most unique new IPs in generations.

You Overwatch cucks need to realize that unlike your forced meme game, Splatoon has real appeal and is here to stay. With spin off titles, tie in merchandise, and sequels that sell millions of units each.

Overwatch cucks can't compete.

>autistic nostalgia furfags will never stop buying sonic on any console.

I'd be surprised if anyone under 10 even knows what sonic is anymore.

Why is it coming out on swtich?

>Sonic fan saying anyone doesn't have standards.
Also gonna need a source on that OP.

If it is though it's likely because the Switch (like the Wii U) has next to no third party support currently, and /v/ with its inferiority complex with Nintendo takes any sales success as a blow against Sony. Seriously, is this entire board populated with Nintendo shareholders or something? No other company here has the same level of bias and desperation for them to succeed.

>>387232746
>using overtrash as a point of reference
Yep, no standards indeed.
I squid, I squid, sprats are nice. Just don't compare it to a literal piece of crap, shows us in a bad light.

>>387232746
I know this is bait but
>Can only play one game mode at the start, can't even pick the map
>Unlock the ability to play more at Level 10
>STILL can't choose what you want to play
>There's barely anything to play anyway
>Pathetically short single player with no replay value
>Full retail price
How do you justify this, /v/? Did the sequel at least give you the ability to choose what you want to play?

>>387232373
Source? Or course you have no source. It wouldn't surprise me anyhow considering Switch is a nogeams machine anyway. Next time you want to false flag, at least act inconspicuous.

>>387232913
If I had to guess, it's because Nintendo is the only console manufacturer that has video games as its main industry. Microsoft could pull out of console production tomorrow and the company would just reallocate those resources to software development and whatever flavor of the month hardware they want. Sony could do the same with Sony Interactive Entertainment into their electronics, TV & film, music, and phone divisions. If Nintendo stopped making consoles, they could likely milk their IP for licensing for a few years, but its longevity would be extremely limited and the reason people like those IP (good games) would be absent.

>>387233083
>overwatch
>no single player at all
>full retail price
>have to buy cosmetics

>>387233083
>>387233245
As somebody who has never played either, I conclude that both games are trash and inferior to Titanfall 2.

>>387232501
Nah because sonybros

>>387232501
/thread

>>387233245
When did I defend Overwatch? I would say it's even worse in that regard.
Also you're delusional to think Splatoon even puts a dent in it sales wise.

>>387233376
>B-but Sony

Ignoring that a filthy Nintendo fag conjured this thread.

Sonyfriend here.
I want the Switch to be a massive success so that Sony will get it's shit together and realize there's still a market for dedicated portable consoles.

>>387233403
You know how some youtubers have millions of subscribers but no views, while the ones with less subscribers can pull tons of them?

That's basically what's happening with Splatoon and Overwatch. People don't care about Overwatch the way they care about Splatoon.

>>387233841
Anon, I don't know how to tell you this, but the Vita is a good system. It's not really Sony's fault that it sold like shit, it's a combination of factors.

>>387232373
Not suprised, Ninteniggers are just as or even more autistic as Sonicfags.

>>387233996
>It's not really Sony's fault that it sold like shit, it's a combination of factors
Well and a big one of those factors is Sony's lack of advertisement, lack of support for the console and porting everything worthwhile on Vita to the PS4. Those ports just showed that Sony was sacrificing the portable market for the sake of the ps4.

Good for you, you can have the autistic fanbase on your backs

If there's no real difference between versions, the Switch one will always win out. You get a handheld version out of every purchase.

>>387233083
Only in Private lobbies, you have the option between Turf wars or a Ranked mode or another Ranked mode in league battles.

Did OW add an option to pick which mode to matchmak in ranked though? I remember that not being an option when I played it.

The Switch has no games. It makes sense.

> But the Switch has no games! that's why its selling better!
Sonic has always sold better on Nintendo platforms like this is a surprise

>>387233083
Turf War for first ten levels rewires your brain from bloodthirsty rambo, or perma-camping motherfucker, or squishy-protect-me-I-only-do-medic-stuff, or whatever you were in any other game, to a more strategic, mobile and level-headed player- everyone is as much offense as they're support in Splatoon, and whereas you can let your bloodlust loose in ranked and win sometimes, that'll never be the case in TW.
You can't choose what to play so you play everything and not just de_dust over and over and over and over again.
Unlike other "We promise more later" games, Splatoon 2 is actually guranteed to have those "more" in sufficient amounts. First of all, majority of Splat1 stuff remastered for 2- that's already a whole retail price worth of content.
The singleplayer actually does have a bit of replayability- but only a bit, because some levels completely transform with a different weapon in your hands. That's still the weakest point.

>>387234240
Well, to be honest, toddlers always claim superiority to other versions.

If Swinch wouldn't be portable, you would've used some other excuse.

>>387232373
Nintendo fans are massive Sonicfags, though.

>>387234240
Right, the Switch version, due to it's inherent functionality, IS ALWAYS THE SUPERIOR VERSION.

>>387233996
*has aspects of a good system.

Also it's totally Sony's fault it didn't sell. They undermined it's whole release and the major reason it's worth buying is because of all loving support from third party.

The Switch is still a flop.

>>387234413
This post reads almost like professional shilling, are you sure you're not being paid for this?

>>387233864
You're kidding right? Are you seriously comparing a franchise which had gallons upon gallons of porn before the game was even released and is one of the most popular multiplayer shooters of all time to squid lolis? How many normies do you see even mention Splatoon yet how many Overwatch references are there everywhere?

This is some next level Nintenc uck delusion right here. You need to realise there is a world outside of /v/.

>>387232373
how exactly do you play a 2D platformer with no D-pad?

>talking about standards and the Sonic series when Sonic Unleashed Wii sold more than the 360 and PS3 version despite being a worse game
lul

>>387234413
>Turf War rewires your brain
I wish this was the case, getting out of C and B hell was tough. People forget to ink around the objective is as important as the objective itself.

Like that.

No source. Fake news. Crash Bandicoot and Sonic are better than Mario.

>>387234529
>Muh porn
>Normies

Something /v/ really needs to get through their skulls is that just because something is TALKED ABOUT does not make it popular on it's own right.

Take Undertale for example. It was described as a 'meme game' by critics, and for good reason. The appeal in the game was the COMMUNITY surrounding it, not the game itself. We saw something similar happen to Overwatch pre-release due to Blizzard's top notch marketing department.

In the grand scheme of things, no one cares about Overwatch as a GAME, hence where defenders feel the need to bring up the fucking PORN to prove how popular it is.

>>387234637
why doesn't switch have a D-pad?

seriously even the fucking Xbone has a D-pad to play 2D/2.5D games.

>>387234962
Because Nintendon't wants you to buy proprietary $70 controller in addition to their memepad.

>>387232373
>nintentoddlers are buying shitty games
woah

>>387234962

It does have a D-Pad...

>>387235175
lmao

>>387232373
That's how it starts. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... faggots

>>387232373
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and figure that there are more fans of Sonic on the Switch than there are on Ps4. I mean ffs Sonic is apparently popular enough on Nintendo systems to justify numerous Mario vs Sonic games.

>>387232373
>OP faggot didn't provide a source
>Game just got released
>idiots replying to this thread seriously

>>387232779
Kids know because of memes mostly

/v/ is supposed to be a board for videogames enthusiasts and hardcore gamers, and yet at any given time it is possible to see multiple threads about Nintendo, a company infamous in the sector for being the one that most widely caters to the taste of casual and occasional gamers.

Now, I don't see any threads on /tv/ about series like Modern Family or Grey's Anatomy, despite both being some of the most popular TV series airing, and that's because the userbase is mature enough to either not watch those programs clearly aimed at a completely different audience than the film enthusiasts who browse it, or to realize that discussing them is out of place in a site dedicated to enthusiasts of particular interests like 4chan is.

On the other hand, Nintendo threads plague /v/ constantly, and are some of the worst threads on the board in the matter of quality of posts. This, of course reflects the immature and non-internet-savy nature of the average Nintendo fan, which is not and could ever not be a videogames enthusiasts, so these threads pose an actual nuisance to the actual hardcore gamers that wished to discuss their hobby with likeminded individuals on /v/. They are also known falseflagggers, shitposters and general console warriors, further decreasing the quality of content on the board.

My proposal to solve this issue, which is arguably one of the root causes for the current state of /v/, is to ban any user that mentions anything related to Nintendo, be it games, consoles or IPs. I'm sure that the quality of the board would increase tremendously, as the moderation makes clear that Nintendo fans are not welcome on /v/, driving them away from the userbase in a permanent manner, thus removing the main source of bad content on the board.

Feel free to discuss how long the ban should be, I advocate a 3 days ban for first offenders and then a permanent ban for repeat offenders.

You could make this argument for any console you like. But no one seems to believe when you say you genuinely like your Wii U.

>>387235757
Really it's Sega's fault. They were the ones that started the biggest console war in history.

How is it bait? Splatoon 2 is more competitive than Overwatch at top level play and is much faster and fun to watch.

>>387236908
It's just a squidfucker who thinks his niche game rivals a juggernaut like Overwatch report and ignore

>>387234920
And how often do you hear Splatoon fans actually talk about the games beyond the 50 thousandth squid lolis thread? I see barely any discussion about the game itself, rather just what the subject of the Splatfest is or the girls.

>In the grand scheme of things, no one cares about Overwatch as a GAME,
30 million god damn players don't care about Overwatch as a game. The Wii U and Switch combined haven't even shipped that many systems. How fucking delusional are you?

>>387234920
>OV is not a game because all they care about is porn

There are RIGHT NOW about 10 Game of Plebs threads active on that shithole of a board. Regular discussion on /tv/ is box office numbers for what they want to succeed or fail and the usual Marvel/DC capeshitflinging. There is absolutely no quality control at all on /tv/. Don't be an idiot.

They talk about it on /vg/. There are probably non 4chan places to talk about it as well.
