@kobashi100 Compression is clearly the problem, yes sir. Not only on the Switch but also on the XONE/PS4. The only thing you showed me is their compression is even shittier on the other 2 consoles.

Sorry, I won't buy this game even if it scores a 10 out of 10. I don't agree with this you need a SD Card to download the physical game in the cartridge you just got from the store thing.

2K Games: learn how to efficiently compress data and them we'll do business, aye? Good luck!

Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch

@maceng I highly doubt those cost since in Brazil, where I live now, you can find 32Gb around U$ 10 and 64Gb around U$ 16 to 20. If I, the final consumer (with all those godammed brazilian taxes) get to pay that, there's something very, very wrong with they are all saying there, you see that?

I don't believe at all they have more costs to produce their games for the Switch but when we are talking MASS PRODUCTION it's only obvious that you won't have that kind of monstrous cost with a 64Gb card.

I hope you get what I'm writing.

So, at the end, I see that it's more expensive to make a game for the Switch than PS4/XONE and I'm willing to support that extra cost considering all the Switch has to offer.

Also, NBA requiring 5Gb just for a save data is ludicrous. It's just lazy to not use some kind of compressing data tech of some sort. I don't respect that at all and as much as I love basketball, I won't buy that game.

It's not the same thing as DOOM having you to DL the multiplayer. It's not everyone that enjoy MP (like me). I believe that (you having to DL the MP in games) should be the standard from now on. So, I totally approve that practice.

Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution

@TheLZdragon Thing is... what about the people who don't want to buy any additional memory? F"reak" them?

I don't want this BS. When I chose Switch, I loved the fact about cartridges not having me waiting a 20 minute download just to play it. As a matter of fact, that's simply why I ditched my PS4 and my XONE in the first place.

It's a shame that happened to Switch because using cartridges to avoid that BS was a real differential to me.

@JunkRabbit Right. In the scenario I don't want to buy a memory card but I really want X game to play. What option do I have instead of being forced to buy. Not much of a option to make there, isn't? That's my point.

For example, NBA2K18 REQUIRES a Memory Card for you to play it. If you don't get one, you won't be able to play.

End of story. This BS isn't optional AT ALL, see?

@Amsterdamsters No. Maybe you don't see the difference between having a game on a cartridge and having a game on a optical media.

The Switch uses cartridges which in theory would have enough extra space to download updates to your games without using external memory cards.

Why they are pulling this stunt? They are just transferring the cost - even if its a small cost - to you.

Note: you have paid U$300 for a Nintendo Switch WITHOUT a decent storage. You have paid less than U$ 300 in a regular PS4/XONE with 500Gb at least.

So, if you (by you I mean all of us as consumers) don't see how this is very, very bad for us consumers, maybe you (we) deserve to throw more and more money at those people for things we should have from the get go or without an extra cost.

Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution

@JunkRabbit And you are accepting to pay full price on a game that isn't entirely available on the cartridge? Well, I am certainly not ok with this.

IMO, you just have the illusion you are the guy calling the shots in this matter. Maybe it suits fine for you but not for me.

Also, if this catches on, what'll be the point of releasing games on cartridges if you basically have to download it later? You'll let them sell empty boxes with download codes - oh, wait, it's happening already... (of course, people are actually willing to let they keep doing this).
