Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?

BloodWolfe

@Ogoalie30 I'd have paid $10 each, would be cheaper in the long run. The plan expansion tier is more than double the price for such small offerings. It's not worth the value (well lack of value) for that price. I'd be much happier buyi g those games at $10 each and not having to shell out $50/year to play them. It adds up quickly year after year. I'd have been fine with a $10 increase for single and $20 increase for family but to more than double (25 and 45 respectively up to 64 and 100) is absurd.

I'll buy the ACNH dlc and stick to the low tier and I'll dust off my N64 and games instead of paying this. Unless I can find 6 more people to join the family membership then I'll pay at 12.50 each but not $50 each.

@Teksetter
Oh sorry per month, I misread and was thinking per year per person... my bad.

If it's 4 people or more then I'd be fine with it but as it stands for a single person or for only 2 people like my situation either way it's just an absurd price for what they offer, especially in comparison to Sony and MS so not that I can't afford this, I just refuse to pay it because it's just not enough value for my money.

As for your suggestion, ya I may have to go see if any friends want to sign onto my family account and do it that way because I would love the N64 games. Gotta ask around and see if I can find 6 more people LOL then I justify paying when it's $100 divided by 8 per year lol.

@Teksetter
I'm sorry but where do you get $7/mth? Family is $80 USD/$100 CDN so divided by 4 that's $20/$25 depending on currency. If you have 4 or more people then sure I can swallow that price but family is only 2 of us here so basically family price still equals the single price each and for the little bit that they offer, it's not even close to being worth a slightly more than double the price now.

@Ogoalie30
Ya ok and then after that first year you're paying another $25 for ACNH DLC year after year so in 3 years you've paid $75 for ACNH DLC then by your logic and excuse. Their is no justification for this price point Nintendo has set for the little bit they are offering. Tell yourself whatever you have to so you can feel better about wasting your money but no reason or excuse justifies this price hike of just more than double. It's absurd and Nintendo has finally lost it and gone over the deep-end with their stupidity.

I've been a die hard loyal Nintendo fan since the NES and this is making me reconsider even keeping my Switch and supporting them. Once my Steam Deck arrives I may just get rid of my Switch and say goodbye to Nintendo forever.

-Now, can I afford this price? Sure.
-Do I think it's reasonable or justified for what they offer? Absolutely not.
-Will I pay this price? NEVER!

@Chibi_Manny
PS and XBox are on such a higher tier of quality and value for your money. Xbox I think is monthly now but PS Plus last I had it (couple years now) it was a yearly same with Xbox but Xbox changed when Game Pass Ultimate came around which is a far better value so worth the monthly cost.

Those both offer much better games thrown at you free per month (Xbox you keep the games even if you end your subscription) and PS Plus only while subscribed but both also then offer discounts on their respective game shops and a far better online experience. Also, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate let's me stream Xbox games on my PC and phone and play a huge selection of great games included with that price (Doom, Halo, Forza, MS Flight Sim, etc...) so it makes this plan by Nintendo a huge and total rip off!

Nintendo slightly more than doubling just because they added N64 and Genesis is NOT worth the price and the ACNH expansion I can buy one time and not have to worry so that DLC does not make the additional price justifiable either... at least not after the first year is done that's for sure.

PS and Xbox gamers get value for their money. Nintendo is just screwing us over with this.

Sure the family plan is good if you have 8 people to include in it but for me it's just 2 of us and $100 CAD is ***** absurd for the little bit they have added. I'll keep my current "low" tier and just buy the ACNH dlc if I decide I want to play it.

At this price Nintendo needs to up the online multiplayer BIG TIME and add much more value otherwise $64/$100 CAD for single/family so I'm sorry Nintendo but go ***** yourselves!

I love Nintendo but this price hike is effing absurd! They can just eff right off with this, more than double the price just for genesis and n64 games? ACNH dlc is a one-time purchase so I'm not subscribing to this ***** expansion to "save" on dlc. Year after year its cheaper to buy the dlc and stay on the low tier so I'll keep the cheap tier, buy ACNH and save my money. Not worth it just for n64 and genesis games. I'll buy an emulator on my phone for $5 and play there instead if I really want to.

I'd pay at most $20 more per year for the family plan (and that's still too much imo) but going from 44.99 (IIRC) to 99.99 just for this is insanity and nowhere near worth the price unless they start including dlc for all first party games.

If they think they can compete with ps plus or xbox then they are sorely mistaken with the little they offer for such a steep price. Keep pushing customers away Nintendo, because I've always been a big supporter even though you do some stupid things but this is pushing it and I'm about ready to walk away, especially once my Steam Deck arrives.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.1 Is Now Live

BloodWolfe

I feel like my life gets more and more complete the more stable my Switch gets! I never thought my life would be this complete! LMAO

Seriously though, ffs Nintendo add effing folders and other basic long requested (and long overdue) quality of life features. Stop being so stupid, this system is great but a few basic QoL features would make it so much better.

Re: Destroy All Humans Brings Its Earth Conquering Madness to Switch on 29th June

BloodWolfe

@GamingDude800 that they are! I've imported twice and I won't do it again because of the import taxes are ridiculous. I just find it unfair and not even logical to screw us Switch gamers constantly like this since XBONE and PS4 both had these versions released here in NA so why not the Switch too?

These companies piss me off sometimes. I only buy physical if at all possible so I've bought a lot of games from LRG for example, I'll buy this regular version if we get at least that in physical but I'd have bought the cheaper edition of these 2 if we got them.

Re: The Price Of Animal Crossing's Sanrio amiibo Cards Are Already Skyrocketing On eBay

BloodWolfe

If nintendo wants to be stupid then it's their loss and I'll just keep making my own amiibo nfc tags because I'm not gonna fight with these scalpers and their bots to try and buy limited stock.

Nintendo needs to make more and keep them (all types of amiibos and other accessories like the Zelda Joy-cons) and I wont pay scalper prices. The other thing, scalpers need to die in a fire! Nothing but scum and parasites.

Re: Try Not To Be Jealous, But Japan Is Getting An Exclusive Physical Edition Of Legend Of Mana

BloodWolfe

@Friendly Ah yep that would be it. I ordered it on Play-Asia when I found a few other games at the same time to consolidate shipping costs but have seen it on Amazon from other sellers who import to resell.

I just assumed it was a Japan/Asia release only but that link shows exact locales it launched in. I wish they would do more physical releases for us in North America though, ridiculous how we get shafted so much for Switch releases.

Re: Try Not To Be Jealous, But Japan Is Getting An Exclusive Physical Edition Of Legend Of Mana

BloodWolfe

@Friendly FF VII & FF VIII were never released on physical in the west. Had to import and still is the case but the import copies have English on them so correct me if I am wrong but when and where did they officially release those with a physical copy here in the west?

FF XIV is the same as above, can import it or find from sellers on Amazon that imported copies to resell here which is how I got them all (7 & 8 Twin Pack, and 9).

Crystal Chronicles doesn't have a physical release here either. It seems after X/X-2 and XII that they decided to screw over their western customer base and not release physical.

It seems we miss out on a crap ton of physical games in general and it's really starting to irritate the F*** out of me. These companies need to give us physical copies and if they don't then I don't buy.

Re: Review: Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition - A Murder Park Simulator With Bite

BloodWolfe

Already have it on pc and love it and would be more than happy to double dip and play it again on Switch but not until they release a proper physical version (not some half-a** BS like 2K did with Borderlands, Xcom and Bioshock requiring almost the entire games still being downloaded).

Release full physical with entire game on cart and I will buy even at full price but not until then.

Re: First Impressions: Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition On Switch

BloodWolfe

Was excited for this but no physical = no buy for me! I skipped out on several big games I wanted due to no physical copies or lack of physical copies in North America and more specifically Canada.

I'm sick of games NOT getting physical copies or only Asia and Europe getting physical copies and North America getting screwed. If this has physical on other consoles why not Switch as well? Just means companies won't be getting my money!

Another example of games I passed on would be Borderlands, Xcom and Bioshock collections for Switch being on tiny cards still requiring almost full size massive downloads so I won't buy any of those either because that is also a BS move. I'll buy indie games digital or some if they get released by Limited Run Games but major games from big developers need to release physical or F*** OFF!

Re: "Nintendo Isn't That Smart": Pachter Says Nintendo Should Scrap Switch And 'Only Have Switch Lite'

BloodWolfe

This guy sounds like a complete door knob who clearly knows NOTHING about this industry and the Switch/Switch Lite.

I love my Switch and it is my favorite console... Oh wait AND handheld in 1 device! I got sick of multiple devices and sometimes wished my gameboys/3DS could be played on my tv when not in the mood for handheld so wait for it... The Switch solves that problem you moron (Pachter).

Clearly 22 months now it's the best selling console I think is what I read recently so clearly this system Nintendo has with Switch and Switch Lite is working lol, what a dumb a**!

Re: Genshin Impact Dev Responds To Breath Of The Wild Clone Comments, Insists It's A "Very Different" Experience

BloodWolfe

F2P? So loaded with micro transaction crap? No thanks I'll pass! I don't care how good it may be, but I hate MT's and will never support them so I won't touch this game! I'd rather pay for a game and not be gimped if I don't break my bank for MT's.

I don't like Ubisofts way with AC Odyssey but still was better than any F2P games setup. I never touched an MT in Odyssey and was just fine.

As for the hate because of the graphics, I don't care cuz I liked how botw looked and if others wanna go the same route then great, I enjoyed botw for its art style and visuals overall so I'm looking forward to Immortals Phoenix Rising. Was with this till I now realized its F2P unfortunately.

Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Won't Be Coming To Switch After All, Says New Report

BloodWolfe

This is one of many reasons I don't buy EA games anymore. They seem to just hate Nintendo and of course their ruining of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games. Still good but each series got worse by the 3rd. Then of course their ridiculous greed and worst monetization in the industry so I may have actually paid for this and finally bought something EA after 10 or so years of not buying their games but guess they still don't want my money.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 1.4.2 Patch Notes - Fixes Dreaming Crash And Multiple Other Bugs

BloodWolfe

@TheFullAndy Ya I totally get it, we all gotta vent sometimes lol. I saw the comments and had to agree with you even though the thread has been hijacked.

Those who deny the frame rate issues are just fooling themselves because those frame rate drops should NOT have ever made it to release and more-so as you said, has not been addressed by Nintendo makes it all the more disappointing. Loved the game but Nintendo could have, and should have, done better/

Re: Temtem Dev Reconfirms Switch Release After Cancelling PS4 And Xbox One Versions

BloodWolfe

@retro_player_77 where did anyone say it can't run on PS4? They said it's being cancelled on PS4 and XB One and going straight to next-Gen. It has nothing to do with not being able to run on the PS4 but rather not supporting on 6 platforms and only on 4 instead since XB One and PS4 are soon to have successors on the market so why release on those 2?

You need to pay attention to the article and what was written.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Prepared To Spend $70 On The Latest Games?

BloodWolfe

Prices go higher then I'm done with gaming! Prices are already too high when you add in the scam micro-transactions or unfinished games that then charge for dlc or features that should have been part of the main purchase.

I hate this direction gaming has gone but if prices go up then these scams better end otherwise I'm done with gaming and I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

This is getting ridiculous!
