@Olmectron I don’t think gaming is or should be a luxury the only expensive console is Nintendo the rest of gaming its pretty affordable to anyone and honestly if I see a game that I care I will only buy it if it’s worth the value (Monster Hunter Rise) otherwise I will not get it at all or get it used and the developer will get nothing from me (Pokémon), that’s the industry they created and I think developers know that that’s why they price their games not low but not high enough to scare people they rather get something than nothing at all because they also know their games have no big name (Mario,Zelda or God of War) and not a ton of content or quality either
@BloodNinja Yeah I mean Nintendo games are great but I don’t think they are worth the asking price when you can get games like God of war for 20 or sometimes 15 and my point is that you could get 4 to 5 great games not trash anywhere else for the price of one single Nintendo game and with PSplus every month you get at least one decent game this month we got Control and the same goes for Xbox
@WoomyNNYes But the article says they also take into account more than that
“The study also looked at how much a console would cost the average user throughout its lifetime, adding up factors like the console's initial price, any online subscriptions, several games at the average retail price, and common accessories like a controller and headset.”
Maybe I’m reading this wrong but how can this be the most “ eco-friendly system of the current generation of consoles. ”
When you have to replace the joycons all the time and almost all the games are more expensive and even remake, remasters and complete editions are priced at full price like Zelda SS or even worse Pokémon SwSw at 90 not to mention that you are forced to pay online to save your saves in case of emergency and yet that doesn’t even work for the most important games and doesn’t even have basic features and you only get old games
Nothing that interest me or that I haven’t played somewhere else but when you have a Monster Hunter game you are set for a year and people don’t understand that Nintendo already use all of their heavy hitters titles and the Nintendo cycle it’s complete the next games are less impressive or sequels like the Zelda sequel or less well known titles like Metroid that will come 2026, so now you should lower your expectations for the incoming games
@OnlyItsMeReid So just because you don’t like voice chat the system shouldn’t have voice chat even if millions others would like the feature and not deal with another device for a simple feature which is a feature that if you don’t like it you just can ignore, makes sense
This is more like an insult than actual help, do they really believe that people don’t know how to use the most basic console that doesn’t even offer voice chat and other features
@BulbasaurusRex I totally see your point but they could easily do a better job explaining how to breed for newcomers and making it more simpler and less time consuming
@ZebZed Sounds like SwSh did something good after all, thanks for the info I’m gonna hunt down a copy with the DLC included but for reasonable price no way in hell I would pay 90 for a game
@BulbasaurusRex I actually like breeding, IVs and EVs are what makes this a great RPG otherwise would be too simple I just wish it was less random and contrary to you I think IV were intended just not well implemented and in my opinion every single Pokémon has improved in breeding especially gen 7 (haven’t try in gen 8 since I got disappointed with that game) just not enough for more casual players
This wouldn’t even be happening if breeding was more simpler and less time consuming honestly if you think wasting more than 5 to 10 hours for a perfect Pokémon is rewarding good for you but not everyone wants to waste their time like that, as for this guy who knows maybe he really needed the money or just like easy money and honestly who doesn’t like easy money especially when he wasn’t affecting anyone
The only thing that I didn’t like was the mounting system in this game it gets really annoying when another player takes the monster for a trip around the map let’s see what happens in the future and I’m glad they improve the gameplay for HH
Funny how the poll shows that if they do release a new Switch people will buy it, Nintendo fans really have deep pockets no wonder why they release $90 games and they think it’s a discount
I might get 2 or more after trying the wired one you’ll never go back to the horrible original controller, people love it because Nintendo fanboys are super nostalgic but in reality it’s one of the worst controllers of any generation there’s a reason why this new controller exists
The only good thing from let’s go was that you could see the Pokémon if you didn’t want unnecessary battles other than that it was mobile trash, so if they do a remake, hopefully is like the one they did with gen 2 and bring back The Underground mini game with online and not mega galarian gimmicks I rather have mega evolutions back
I definitely agree with number one Robobot really surprised my expectation the first time that I played it, and this time the top ten is good but the rest have a weird order like Kirby battle Royal it’s definitely not one of the worse Kirby games
I feel like this game is lacking basic content that previous games had yet somehow is selling like crazy and honestly not having Gyroids in a AC game should be a crime
My daughter play this on her tablet so I assume it’s free, so why would you pay for this or what do you get when you pay for it or it’s free on Switch too
This makes me rethink my preorder on Switch but I don’t want to wait too long to play a new MH game but if the game doesn’t support cross saves, PC it’s the way to go then
It sounds like it’s in development hell and you’ll know what that means, so when they finally finish don’t get to hype or you might get disappointed, but hopefully I’m wrong and they might actually deliver a masterpiece
Does this means that some folks here are still offended by the true and don’t realize that even as an adult you can still enjoy playing games even if the main target of the company you like it’s for kids but can still be enjoyed by everyone
@Jeronan Glad you enjoyed the game, but the Pokémon do matter after you finish the game all that’s left is breeding and battling and that goes for sword and shield limiting your options for teams and just because some use the same team doesn’t mean everyone does the same, as for the RNG easy you don’t like to hunt for the Pokémon then trade online simple, I do agree that the only good new feature but not new in this game since it’s from Pokémon go pikachu is the ability to see the Pokémon roaming other than that this game offers nothing new the giant thing is just a gimmick, hell even the variant Pokémon version is a copy from sun/moon which is the other good thing.
And normally I don’t care what people do or think but in this case thanks to people supporting this anti consumer practices it affects the others since now you’ll end up paying double for less content
@Jeronan Lol... First, sun and moon are 3DS games which cost $40 (USA) don’t know is they were 60 where you live, but considering that they are cheaper but have a lot of content (full Pokédex) and while they look the same they do have a lot of differences Ultra having the most content and more polished gameplay but not the best story, compared to Sword and Shield which are barebones and lacking content (full Pokédex) because of the graphics which turn out to be lies, surely you can understand why this game is a disappointment to a lot of people even with the DLC which is making up for the lackluster content considering this is a $90 game, so in the end buying two 3DS games was better and cheaper either sun/moon and later ultra sun/moon for $80
I’m guessing they get more money creating artificial demand with limited time and scarcity and for some reason judging by the comments people praising Nintendo that they are going the right path and soon they will port others, lol... I don’t know if you guys forgot the existence of the remake in the DS the second on 3DS so this is more like a cash grab, Nes rpg’s haven’t aged well at all they need a remake and the third one it’s the one they should be working on
This is the only Wii U game that I have and only because it has the Wii version which is the superior version and a total hidden gem at least on the Wii, which I can totally see skyrocketing in price on eBay so if you don’t have it yet now it’s your last opportunity
@BabyYoshi12 When have you seen a game cost 90 because they released it complete? In other words this game wasn’t complete before, it was barebones and shouldn’t cost what a collector item cost
@BabyYoshi12 Well usually any other game that releases with the full content a year later it’s basically the definitive edition (the finally complete game) of the game not matters if the DLC is new or not and sometimes even cheaper than the vanilla version but since this is Pokemon they know how crazy people are that are willing to pay 90, which to me it’s insane since it cost basically what a collector edition like MH Rise cost and that game probably like older titles offers hundreds of hours an Amiibo and other stuff
@KBuckley27 Totally agree with you but if they succeed with this price then they are gonna keep doing it more often and maybe more companies will try the same
They really are testing how crazy Pokemon fans are willing to pay for a Pokémon game charging that insane amount, but if this was EA or other company everyone will be losing their minds and yeah I know that it has new DLC but this is more like what the vanilla game was missing to begin with not something that it’s adding real value to a complete game since the game was lacking content since the beginning, well best thing to do is buy a used copy for a good price or get lucky for a new one at regular price, only insane people will pay this amount for a PS2 looking game that finally got completed after a year lol
This are the guys that made MH4U and generation look amazing in the 3DS so I don’t expect less from them even if it doesn’t look as good as World, so I still hope for a Switch Pro that way the game can run better
As someone who plays MHWI obviously this is a downgrade but for a Switch game it’s perfectly fine now the real question is are we farming for Decos or charms like the old times and does it has all the quality of life improvements from World because going back to the old gameplay it’s gonna be hard
