Definitely. The only "defense" I've seen is people reminding others that inflation exists and how many nes and snes games were $90+.Ā
Hell, there is even a Simpsons clip from 30 years ago where Marge refuses to buy Bonestorm for Bart, citing how new games cost "upwards of ninety dollars"
"You reminded me inflation is real! Stop defending a billion dollar company. Ya'll are so brainwashed and cannot think for yourselves" - Guy who spent hundreds of hours online trying to tell people they were wrong for liking Tears of the Kingdom.
Of course, the solution for this new generation of gamers is to release the game for $30, then make a killing on in game transactions they are stupid enough to make. Then use the money from those transactions to actually finish the buggy game they releasedĀ
I assume along with the āThere a no good games todayā crowd itās mainly people too young to remember the snes and the days before YouTube(rs) existed.
I only bought a switch last year because was travelling and havenāt had a Nintendo since the N64 - but I was under the impression Nintendo still puts out quality, finished products.
I mean at least Iāve never heard of the Nintendo equivalent of Anthem, Cyberpunk or Concord.
And Iām part of the crowd that only buys games on discount when itās packaged with DLC and the bugs have been fixed.
"Today they release half-finished games full of bugs and then spend years patching them to be playable!"
Yeah and 20 years ago they released half-finished games full of bugs and then didn't do shit to fix them. Because without the internet being as pervasive as it is now, they could sell out the game before word got around that it was shitty and not worth buying. Some of the most beloved games from that time are horrendously broken.
Doesn't make it ok for studios to release unfinished garbage today just because they can patch it to playable later. Just saying it was often shitty back then, too. Nintendo charging too much for their games isn't their fault, it's the fault of the political party that's been fighting against unions and raising the minimum wage and has been crashing the economy once a decade at least since I've been alive. Nothing wrong with pointing out to Nintendo that we can't afford these prices, but be mad at the people who are making wages stagnate.
I dont believe I said anything like that? Unless you were adding to my comment ofc then nvm.
In fact Iām personally glad patching exists, for the reason you state - Iām usually the person questioning the very idea of āgood old daysā without bugs.
My point was comparatively Nintendo seem (the context of my comment was asking for evidence to the contrary) to be putting out āqualityā games and maybe thatās partly because they always charge full price and donāt feel the need to rush things out and add microtransactions.
Sorry, I was agreeing with you and making a jab at the same people you were, because the same people who say "no good games today" are the ones complaining about buggy releases as if that's new. Apologies that I wasn't clear that we're on the same side š
