WTF is this shit? The average game is about 100 gb and the average storage card is 256 gb. So it means I can only store 2-3 games on the Switch 2 at most?
>>735045364just go digital retard
>>735045459>just go digital retardenjoy owning nothing
>>735045364what a disgusting practice, they don't even put the fucking game on the sd card anymore and instead you are forced to download it on the sd card you buy. how fucking soulless is nintendo
>>735045720you'll own it longer than you'll care to faglord
>>735045364>The average game is about 100 gb
>>735045459Tendies cannot. It only exist 1TB card from a shit brand. Lexar. SandDisk wont make 1-2TB express cards. The switch 2 is fucked if not Nintendo pulls one from its greedy ass.
You can thank normalfag tendie slop buyers for making FF7 and Pokopia a success. GKC are now here to stay.
>>735045364do you rike it?
>>735046527pokopia is the best thing on the switch 2 nerd
>buy a game key card in 20 years >can't download the game WOW
>>>/vp/
>>735045364Do you even own switch? Why do you care?
>>735045721Computers are moving away from sd cards and hdds completely, because the read speeds aren't improving anymore. You need to load your games from solid state memory unless you want 5 minute load times.
>>735046587Just emulate them at that point. A tiny bit of input lag isn't that bad.
>>735045459>digital>on a nintendo consoleLMAO they'll just shut that shit down sooner or later
>>735046587>>735047018You can still redownload Wii games. It can go offline one day, but it's not like Nintendo has been bad about it so far.
>>735045720why is no one ever allowed to use this argument against Steam again
>>735045364It's obviously a scam
>>735048828because steam doesnt have a record of removing access to games you own unless you were a cheater.
>>735049623when has Nintendo ever done this
>>735046587U wut m8? You can still re-download every digital purchase from your wii, wiiu, 3ds and the wii launched 20 years ago.
game key cards are all the drawbacks of physical with all the drawbacks of digital and none of the upsides
>>735045459Did you not read the OP
>>735049905Such a bad troll pasta.GKC can be lend/resold, that's a positive.GKC are faster than GC, that's a positive.
why do vegans always "pretend" to be complete retards and just make shit up to justify obsessing over consoles? is this their way of coping with wasting tons of money on the dedicated slop platform?
>>735050026What? They only care about not eating animal derived products.
>>735045364Yeah but you shouldn't be buying AAA multiplats on your Switch 2 regardless. Nintendo and third parties pass the buck onto you to buy external storage if you're going to do that AND you get worse performance on top of it. You pay more to get less, just stick with smaller AA games and Nintendo games(on cartridge).
>>735050184Pokopia isn’t a third party multiplat. It’s a Nintendo game. The same type of game tendies swore up and down would all come in carts.
who me?oh i like owning my games
>>735050184>you get worse performance on top of itU wut m8?
>>735050007the upside of digital is you can play it without needing a physical card, which is null and void herethe upside of physical outside of downloading patches is you don't need to download anything via the internet, which null and void here
>>735050429So some upsides and downsides, overall the same, noted.
>>735050295>Pokopia isn’t a third party multiplat.It's made by Koei Tecmo.>>735050338For the AAA games themselves. They perform worse on the Switch 2 than elsewhere. RE9 dropping to 30 FPS being a good example, hell even the Bravely Default Remaster on PC isn't stuck at 60 FPS like the Switch 2 is, the framerate on PC is uncapped so you can set it to whatever your monitors refresh rate is. Or you can get 90 fps on a Deck or something.
>>735045364they genuinely expect you to pay half the price of the console for a 1TB SD express card to be able to keep storing games
>>735045364>average game is about 100 gbNo, it isn't, not on the Switch or Switch 2.
>>735050556Oh, you talkin about game graphical settings, well its a portable, of course it will run at less settings but portable, that's the gimmick.
>>735050616Yeah, it's just an odd situation because if you're buying 100gb games like each part of the FF7 Remake trilogy then not only are you getting worse performance but you need to pay extra for storage because the file sizes are super big. Right now the cost for microsd express cards is a bit retarded too. Something like Pokopia being 6gb isn't a problem, none of Nintendo's file sizes have been bad so far. But third parties don't give a fuck about file size optimization.
>>735050331then why did you buy a bunch of unfinished goyslop that's unplayable without an internet connection?
>>735045743> proving he buys slopyou're doing the hard work for us
>>735050829Or you can just play that single player game and uninstall it after you're done. I would understand the desire to keep a multiplayer game on the storage at all times but a one off story?
>>735048828>upgrade PC>all owned games work fine or at worst there will be community fixes or you can fiddle with shit yourself>can change the resolution/framerate to match your upgraded display or what your new hardware can handle>upgrade console>no guarantee it will be backwards compatible>if it is, the framerate is often capped at the highest supported framerate which in the Switch's case is often 30FPS on third parties and some first party titles>resolution capped at 720p in handheld on a 1080p system which looks like fucking shit>if you're lucky Nintendo will do an upgrade or expect you to pay for one>Like in Animal Crossing's case, said upgrade may just do resolution and not framerateThat's why Steam doesn't get the argument.
I don't know how they didn't put 512GB on this thing especially with the game key card shit
>>735045364I get around this problem by not owning or caring about Switch 2. It is very effective.
>>735050943I forgot>Third parties have minimal interest in upgrades>Switch 1 titles still releasing in current year at 720p on Switch 2
>>735050990You know developing games take years? You can't just change your target platform magically from switch 1 to switch 2, you sould need to order a sw2 devkit and re-do the entire qa for a new platform.
>>735051056> Giant slop game takes 500 devs in 4 countries to make> Game flops hardYou absolutely MUST have 500 devs every game and spend 600 million. It's required now. I'm not sure if you know, but games that are from small dev teams usually do better.
>>735050930The problem is going to be the size of those multiplayer games on the Switch 2. Fortnite can already get to be about 45gb and CoD has retarded file sizes, it's been up to 300gb before. If you have a few multiplayer games on your Switch then you might struggle to make room for some 100gb game you want to install if you don't buy a microsd express card.This will be more pronounced when more games like Smash and Splatoon release for people that buy those digitally so they don't have to swap out carts whenever they want to play it(which will be a lot). Same with MKW DLC that will bloat the file size up a bit. All those smaller file sizes will add up, 256gb of storage is nothing.
>>735051258What in the fuck are you even talking about right now?>>735051262Game size on current sw2 games are ok and with time sd card prices will go down, it always do.
>>735051360they can make the games smaller and shrink the budgets. but they don't. keep buying the bloat slop.
>>735051262why the fuck would i ever want to install some bloated multiplayer slop for retards like fortnite on any device in the first place? nobody is making you download digital dogshit, develop taste and you wont run into these issues
>>735051459Gamefreak does that and you all throw shit at them for it. ZA looks ok for what it is, runs great, plays great, install size is small as fuck and you get hundred hours from it.
>>735045364I have a lot more than 2 games stored on my Switch 2.
>>735045364>pay for console>pay for game>pay for internet to download the game>pay for online access in the gamebruh
>>735051707welcome to modern gaming
>>735051605>develop taste and you wont run into these issuesYes. By not playing multiplats on Switch 2(unless it's an indie or smaller AA) then you can ignore the problem completely. Which is what anyone with taste should be doing.
They're going to make Winds and Waves GKC only just watch
>>735051707You do this on every platform if you're engaging in the current industry
>>735051636>you all throw shit at them for it.are you mistaking me for someone else?
>>735051707> pay for game that you can't own> try to mod console to backup your games that you "own" console is brickedI can't even
>>735052343What's your opinion on pokemon legends z-a?Low budget, fuck small install size.
>>735052560i have no idea i don't play pokemon but i'm sure it's fun.
>>735045364>The average game is about 100 gbhave you ever played a video game on a nintendo console ever you idiot
>>735052741vegans have to pretend nintendo is unsuccessful and irrelevant in order for their braindead narrative to make sense. its part of their cult's brainwashing
>other companies do shitty things so it's okay for Nintendo to do them tooWhat is this line of thought?
>>735052741there is no reason for a game to be 100GB. what the fuck. how many god damned versions of mario do you need?
>>735053145What brought us to this point.
>>735045364what's the point them? get digital or get scammed?
>>735045364Switch 2 games are lighter.
>>735045459only if you let me dump games to my computer to keep locally with all updates and DLC :^)
>>735048828It's only bad if nintendo does it
>>735053145>Other companies do very shitty things>"I sleep">Nintendo does something similar>"GRRR ANTI-CONSUMER!! THEY'RE RUINING THE INDUSTRY!!!!"The anti-nintendo crowd need to be studied
Wii u was the benchmark for failure
>>735045720When I pirate a game, I don't get a physical counterfeit cartridge, I get a digital download. So long as all the necessary files to play a game are downloaded and stored locally and can be backed up by archivists I don't understand the fervent paranoia about one day being deprived of your games. Save that fear for cloud gaming where you would literally, actually, unironically own nothing.
>>735053443No, retardo. The biggest Nintendo game you'll find filesize-wise is like 25GB. They're usually 5 to 15GB.
>>735055150>always online DRM>predatory microtransactions>pushing faggot/jewish agendas>censorship>banning accounts and "stealing money">low quality games>early access asset flip scams>literal malware>but its on PC(:>console game releases with a price i don't like):<hmmmm i'm nooticing......................................................
>>735056219I don't play pc games that do that THOUGH
>>735056219>>always online DRM>>predatory microtransactions>>pushing faggot/jewish agendas>>censorship>>banning accounts and "stealing money">>low quality games>>early access asset flip scamscucksoles are brimming with all that
sealionfag thread
>>735046587You're a fucking moron.
>>735057250wooooooooooooosh
>>735053443retardbro, the point of his post was that nintendo games are never 100GB. only hackjob third party games get that big.
>>735045364Why are you buying games that have live service games then? In a couple of years they'll stop supporting the game, and then your disc will just be a piece of plastic.
>>735045459Key cards ARE digital. That's the problem. You need to download the full game.
>>735049623Neither does Nintendo. Every download game you could ever have bought from Nintendo going back 20 years is still downloadable.
>>735050184Different anon but of the Switch 2 games I get are mainly exclusives, I have a PS5 for everything else.I switched to PS5 for a few games after getting a SSD to put in it
>>735057510But enough about (you).
>>735045364Stop being poor.
>>735055150The victim complex on you types.
>>735047159>You can still redownload Wii games.You stupid nigger they deactivated the Wii Shop Channel back in 2019. Only way to get those games is buy downloading the WADs fans backed up.
>>735059962You can't make new purchases, but you can download games you've already bought. That's the "re" in "redownload."
>>735050338>256gb internalWhy can't they just use an m.2 and let you upgrade it to an actual useable size instead of being forced to use inferior storage methods?
>>735045364enjoy redownloading games every time you wanna play a new one
>>735049623No but Steam has removed games from their store and replaced it with newer versions. You can't buy the original Crysis or Alan Wake on Steam. And there was that whole Yakuza fiasco a couple months ago. Digital gives you less options and the options you have they tamper with.
>>735062795There's going to be some fascinating entries in the DSM circa 2060 detailing whatever the fuck is wrong with you. Please go become a different person. Not even a better one. That's dealer's choice. Just different.
>>735045364The only upside of this is you can resell the card
>>735049760I'm pretty sure those who used FreeShop (which exploited Nintendo's servers to get free games) or went online for games before release date have gotten accounts terminated.
>>735050331Someone should cross reference this image with a list of games that are aren't actually on the disc because I'm willing to bet 80% of them don't work without a mandatory download.
>>735050990There's more Switch 2 upgrades available from 3rd parties right now than there are for the games from Nintendo lol
