Re: Saber Interactive CEO Doesn't Think $70 Video Games Are Sustainable

SwitchForce

Wasn't Sabre removed from Embracer group? If they want a $70 game they better have no bugs or be a LE/SE editions. Remaster and selling at $70 is bloodmoney nothing more. $70 is unsustainable for game prices. People buy more then juts one game or if they collect games they will reduce the amount the buy til it goes on sale or discounted prices. Not everyone can constantly pay $70 game and it's a not a finished game? That won't fly they will just wait for price drop or discount or sale to get it then.

Re: It's Over! Nintendo Shuts Down Online Servers For 3DS And Wii U

SwitchForce

They have to move on and support current Gen hardwares otherwise we get nothing. That's the nature of gaming hardware. An now it's Switch what platform would one expected to be supported. It cost time and labor to support hardware no longer in production. This should come as surprise to anyone. Nintendo company servers will go but fan sites will remain that's the other part left but without Nintendo servers they can't connect.

Re: Random: Modded Nintendo Switch OLED Runs Zelda: TOTK With 4K Visuals

SwitchForce

4k handheld is most likely done with DLSS/RT AI performances. There's only so much a hand held GPU can do unDocked vs Docked mode specs. It's never going to be PS5 levels that impossible in held held and if so it would be cost prohibited that any general consumer couldn't even afford here. That's why Switch 2 with DLSS/RT is the feasible options to get 4k performances without putting it out of reach for the masses if they want a return for the Switch 2 tech.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories Physical Collection Includes A Download Code (US)

SwitchForce

"Includes a game card for Monster Hunter Stories and a download voucher for Monster Hunter Stories 2 - Download required. See back."

Here's we go again down the rabbit hole of one on cart and one is digital. How cheap or dumb do they think buyers are? They better have steep discount for screwing buyers over. Even Xenoblade got Physical carts each? How can that be possible.

Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts

SwitchForce

What alot of NintenDoomed fandom forgets - is that it took only 7 years to close those figures and Switch is still in production vs PS2 no longer produced. People compare dead numbers with active numbers seems to never amazes me. It took PS2 that many years to reach those number til production ended vs Switch which by all means is in production and shows no signs of slowing down. These Apples vs Oranges doesn't no real comparison but chest thumping that flawed at worst for comparisons.

Re: GameStop Hit By Layoffs As Analyst Predicts 'Unsustainable' Sales Decline

SwitchForce

The model can't be sustained because of corporates raiding of the company and paying off big Golden Parachutes when the upper management did nothing to improve the business climate. That's where the meat should be cut at - if you can't show you yourself can make money for company you should pay it back. Instead blame the GS stores for your low profits when paying off the Upper managements bonuses. And allow each GS store locally identify their market consumers this will allow them to insure their consumer base locally can find and buy and support locally stores to improve margins. Business needs to change radically their mindset if they want to survive and insure they put Quality over profits in long term the profits will grow and be sustainable long term but we all know where that goes. In one ear and right out where the sun don't shine mantra.

@nala310 I think the future is digital regardless if people want digital or not.

Then you should be driving your ecar of the future? This is short slightness mindset that doesn't factor consumer choice or whom controls what media you buy or purchase. That's not the choices I want to have. Digital you have no ownership and you agreed to their EULA/TOS and they can pull or remove at will. Take into Sony removing subscribers paid content and Crunchyroll not moving user accounts over for what they paid for. That isn't the choice I want to have.

Re: GameStop Hit By Layoffs As Analyst Predicts 'Unsustainable' Sales Decline

@Daze_of_Reality And to the people who "embrace the all digital future"... You don't own those games - even if you paid $60 for them. If your Switch were to break down years from now and you had to redownload your purchased games on a different Switch, you're depending on Nintendo keeping their Switch services and eShop open. Ask Wii owners if they can redownload any of their purchased games. They can't. And that's what the game industry wants... For us to not own games and have to repurchase them over and over again (or rent them via Switch Online/PS Plus subscriptions).
Such is true of the reality of Digital Games here's a old truth that matches up to what your mentioning about.

Re: GameStop Hit By Layoffs As Analyst Predicts 'Unsustainable' Sales Decline

SwitchForce

@LoneHammerBro If one has to switch that much and I have 300+ games but I don't load up all the games but the one I play the most. Switching games out isn't that hard. Download Egames are tied to the account and can't be shared or sold or given away. That doesn't make it anymore appealing. The problem can be fixed - it's is will they do what's right for the GameStop stores and stop the wasting of money at the top first. Remember the bucks stop at the top and if they can't address that then anything else down does nothing.

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?

SwitchForce

BOTW to me was a challenge and still is. I am almost done with the last Guardian Camel to finish before meeting Gannon and TOTK same one last main quest then meeting with Gannon. But TOTK with the glitch before they patched made it over powered game for me but for both I liked running around collecting much as I can of stuff. BOTW is more challenging to complete in my opinion compared to TOTK. But I would like a new Zelda truly Open world and choices you make affects what happens and what quests or routes you do to complete the task. Nothing like a End BOSS but continuation of quests and depending on level Hardness will determine how the quests starts or ends.

Re: GameStop Hit By Layoffs As Analyst Predicts 'Unsustainable' Sales Decline

Here's the thing people talking about Digital games should be careful what you wish for aka Sony removing digital library and making excuses oops we did it again or Crunchyroll saying we can't accommodate your prior subscriptions from previous. Like I said your Agreed to their EULA/TOS and anything Digital or Digital Library they have ownership you have squat since you agreed to their EULA terms. So people need to wake up and smell the roses aren't that rosy here.
Or watch this past YT about Ownership.

This sounds more and more is happening now.

GameStop is Headquarters debacle making none of the stores did this and maybe they should look at the Golden parachute given to a certain person as to why they are out of Touch what is going on at the store levels whom are doing a fantastic job and get the brunt of the problem because of Corporate Mismanagements.
