Re: New Study Says External Issues Are More Likely To Blame For Gaming Addiction, Not Gaming Itself

Mr_Muscle

Won't you people wake up, already? Cigarette companies, decades ago, had doctors go on TV that were bought off by the tobacco industry. On national television, they were saying that cigarettes are fine. The industry, at large, were publishing misleading commercials so that the public would just buy the product. You don't think that the games industry has the same motive? BUY BUY BUY

Makes you wonder why so many of you are so vehemently and blindly supporting articles like this.

Re: Uncensored Version Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Becomes Best-Selling Wii U Game On Amazon Japan

Mr_Muscle

I'm quoting a friend from another forum that has a rather sane view on this mess:

"...I'm ok with people being mad about the changes made to this game, but calling it "censorship" when the creators are the ones making the alterations, by their own choice, it is NOT censorship.

Censorship is what happens in North Korea. Censorship is when a regulatory group stipulates that something needs to be bleeped or blurred. Censorship is not altering your own work because you feel it is more marketable."

Get a grip, NL, please.

Re: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Will Be Censored On Switch

@Seanmyster6 Invalid argument, due to the fact that it’s the publisher doing the editing of the work, which is a more accurate representation of what’s actually going on. There’s no censorship. It’s a work that’s been edited by an editor. Now go get your tiddies elsewhere and quit being so over dramatic.

@Duncanballs 1) OG Switch doesn’t have a d pad. Pass that cost on to the customer. Buy your own!

2) Joycon drift. Self explanatory.

3) shoddy online service.

4) retail boxes that come with digital download codes.

5) digital games that get later “surprise, limited” physical release.

6) low end hardware that struggles with many games. Even something like Bloodstained is gimped by the low end specs of the Switch.

7) No refund policy for the eShop and no user reviews. That’s 100% anti-consumer.

I love my Switch, but after all that Nintendo does from a business standpoint, I’m happy not buying another console from them. If they start to get things together again I’ll buy, but in the foreseeable future it’s not looking very bright for Nintendo customers. Why you people so vehemently defend this company is beyond me.

@kobashi100 Of course they have a say. In fact, they have the final say when it comes to what appears on their platform. You think they just let anything show up on their store without their permission, and more importantly, their cut? Please. Of course they are suggesting retail prices. If you think otherwise, you’re blatantly ignoring something. Not my fault if you choose that!

@Duncanballs Not really. I don't like paying more money for lesser products. The Switch is a great portable, and I love playing mine but when games like the Witcher 3 look so god-awful on it, load so slowly and cost as much as a brand new game, it's just not worth it to me. The whole point of the Witcher 3 isn't just the storytelling; the major selling point is this beautiful world in which to take in the surroundings, and the Switch really drops the ball on that. The combat is very sloppy, but it's more just to get through the game and see what happens. Honestly, they really shouldn't have bothered, unless Nintendo gets their act together and starts making some more powerful hardware, getting half-baked looking games like this just doesn't cut it for me.

@Scollurio You're comparing Links Awakening, a game that looked like black and white legos when it first released, to the new Link's Awakening, that completely blows the gameboy version out of the water because they built it from the ground up for Switch, to The Witcher 3 that has literally been de-mastered to run on sub-par hardware? That's a lot of commas to parse the number of points that just don't go together.

Witcher 3 on Switch is a ripoff. Buy it on PC or some other console and get your money's worth, or don't buy it at all, lest you support scummy business practices.

Re: UK Doctors Can Now Refer Young Patients To Be Treated For Video Game Addiction

@DawgP I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying, and the sad truth is that this is a lot of the backlash that addicts from other substances/behaviors have to face; social stigma. “I’m not an addict, so why can’t you stop drinking like I do?” I wish more people like you were around, that can see that an addict literally CANNOT stop!

It’s interesting that you point out a classic addict behavior: anger at the loss of the substance/behavior. To so many people here, if addiction isn’t a problem to you, then why do you lash out when it’s mentioned? It makes you wonder...
