How does Nintendo think 105$ for a video game is acceptable? Their new business practice is to make a game, cut out half of it, sell it at full price, then sell "DLC" for 40$ more.
Oh, don't worry, a second expansion pass is coming, too.
the steak is just that juicy
>>740784238Nintendo could literally genocide and rape people, and tendies would support them with all their might
>>740784238Tendies will fight each other to the death to be first in line to defend Nintendo.
>>740784238The same way SEG's charging $130 for Sonic Crossworld and its two season passes
Cause people didn't complain about it when everyone else did it. Its like most things, if consumers don't draw hard lines in the sand and maintain it, then guess what, people will push on with it cause line must go up for investors.
>>740784238You can't bitch about Nintendo's prices and then just slop up PC and PS slop at similar prices and not complain.
>>740784238You'd know if you actually played it
>>740785146>ragebaiters>ever playing games
>>740785146still can't believe they made Bulbasaur line horny gyarus
>>740784238Nigga, you can say a lot, but after I beat pokopia at the 100 hour mark, burned out would be the feeling I felt most.The game really doesnt need dlc to make it feel whole. There's too much in there as is
>>740784238You were warned to never pay more than 20$ for a videogame.Publishers, shareholders and other middlemen will always want more.
op didn't take xer meds again
>Their new business practice is to make a game, cut out half of it, sell it at full price, then sell "DLC" for 40$ more.Do you think video games just tumble from the ether, fully complete before some evil company starts lopping parts off to sell you? Are you actually this stupid or is this just a desperate shitpost attempt?Also, selling expansions to a base game has been standard practice in gaming for over twenty years. This isn't new.
>>740785146I did play the game. It was fine. A blatant Stardew Valley rip off. Which is ironic considering Nintendo tried to sue Poketpair for "stealing their IP".But you'd get this game amount of game play from a game 20 years ago for like 40$. It's insane that they are over pricing this shit so much.That said, I bought the game in JPY. So it was only like 70$ total for the base game and DLC.
>>740787103Leaving aside how retarded your entire premise is.Free DLC for games you've already bought used to be extremely common practice.They announced paid DLC for PLZA before the game was even released. >selling expansions to a base game has been standard practice in gaming for over twenty yearsThe base game here is like 15 hours of playtime.
>>740785348See >>740787105
>>740787105>A blatant Stardew Valley rip off.Dragon Quest Builders came out before Stardew Valley, so if anything it's the latter that is the rip off.
We guzzled Smash down pretty previously for less.
>>740789735>Dragon Quest Builders came out before Stardew ValleyFair enough. But the point still stands about the irony.
>>740784238Because people are willing to pay that much.
>>740787105How is the game anything like Stardew Valley? How do you go to that game instead of DQB? Or, if you actually thought it was like Stardew, mention Harvest Moon. You mention 20 years ago, but were you even alive then? And no, the point doesn't stand because the devs who made it were the same as DQBs.
people who only played 1 game be like: hey this reminds me of stardew valley
>>740787103I think this DLC is terribly priced and for the base cost of the game, should really be included. That said, I don't feel like Pokopia launched with a chunk of the game missing. This looks entirely like afterthought additional themed content instead of part of some core experience.
>>740784238just stop being poor and brown bro
>>740790734>How is the game anything like Stardew Valley?Low effort "life sim" game.>And no, the point doesn't stand because the devs who made it were the same as DQBs.How does that have anything to do with pricing? Are you retarded?
>>740784238I feel the dlc pass is extremely expensive, but I did like pokopia. I might buy it eventually later if it's worth the price, the rest of the year is fully loaded with jrpgs I want to play anyways..
I boughted it
>>740790947Make a JP account on your Switch 2.Buy eshop cards off Amazon.Pay 40% less for Switch games on the JP eshop.
>>740787105Then you know the game is deep. Most of the complaints I've seen about the game is that people feel overwhelmed by the size and give up. But if you're a sicko like me that wants more to do, the DLC is perfect.
>>740784238$70 is too much. For ANY game. Hell even $60 was too much.
>>740784238Well considering they are still milking Mario, Zelda, Pokémon for 25,30, 40 years with minimal improvement and trying to sue competition into oblivion, well it’s not surprising they are trying to nickel and dime while raising prices because orange man bad even though they are making games for 10 year old tech.
>>740791327>Most of the complaints I've seen about the game is that people feel overwhelmed by the size and give upHave you tried not hanging around with toddlers? >Then you know the game is deepIt's really not.
>>740790939>A blatant Stardew Valley rip off. Which is ironic considering Nintendo tried to sue Poketpair for "stealing their IP".There's no irony going on if the devs were the ones which made the last game that is most similar. There were no claims about the terrible pricing in that post. Are you retarded?
Stop being poor.I miss the 1996 internet when we didn't have penniless subhumans online.
why is it only bad when Nintendo does it?
>>740785146What gamecube game is this?
>>740784238That's the funny part about deluxe editions.. Their entire purpose is to make you feel like you're retarded for not buying it in the first place. endless DLCs for free with it, or $20 a pop otherwise.They're farming you.
>>740792380Nintendo has had the highest price increases yet.>>740792267Nintendo did not invent life sim games.
>>740790818>That said, I don't feel like Pokopia launched with a chunk of the game missing.Right off the top of my head, it's blatantly missing a ice/snow biome, just look at how few ice types are in the game.
>>740784238I hope all the retards saying Nintendo is going to make their games cheaper are rightfully lowering their heads in shame.
>>740792512Viewtiful Joe
>>740784238>for a video gamedebatable, it's more like a digital plaza/chatroom with graphics than a video game the foids sure love it thobeit
If you still play nintendo games you are an irredeemable autistic faggot, so yes they fully expect you to pay 105 dollars for a game. The funny part is that since you are a slave faggot with zero free will, you will STILL buy it. Nintendo fans are the slave caste of video game players and they deserve it. Prove me wrong, you wont! you will buy the next nintendo console and you will pay full price for all games. You cant refute this, slave.
>>740784748It's funny how sega is the worse at this kind of things but no one gives a fuck when they do it.
>>740792228So you're best friends with every pokemon? Towns fully restored with functional travel?
>>740785069The same game but with guns is only $30 on PC?
>>740784238Anon, I think you forget or didn't realize, but people have been paying 60 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 for complete editions of games for two decades now.
>>740793225Mindless grindy shit is not gameplay.
>>740784238Pokopia is the best Switch 2 game at the moment for me. I don't even like pokemon.
>buy a game at full MSRP>buy the expansion pass at its full price>combine the price when you buy both>how could Nintendo charge $100 for the sum of two things that costs specifically that much
>>740793728There's no way you're actually this stupid.The point is that the DLC should have been part of the base game.
>>740794041why?
you probably shouldn't look at Time Strangers prices, OP
>>740794425Because the amount of context in the base game is very little.You have literally 4 levels / zones of content.
>>740794581not really.
>>740784238How in the fucking Arceus did this game get DLC and Free Updates before Mario Kart World??
>>740794675You are objectively wrong.
>>740794791i'm not, though.
>>740794785Probably because the pipeline was built for rapid turnaround while Mario Kart World is probably aiming for a big expansion in a few years.
>>740794824How many zones are in the game?
>>740784238Weird how you people never cry about all the other game devs who do this.
>>740784238I love shitting on tendies and especially Pokemon fans but that's just Koei Tecmo doing Koei Tecmo things. Charging $30~ for a pass with 3 mini expansions is something they do all the time.
>>740794903What world are you living in?1. It's bad when all game devs do this.2. Nintendo are just the worst offenders.
>>7407948975
>>740784238Here's hoping for a Switch 2 hack anytime now guys
>>740787105Erm
>>740795075Empty zone with zero story or content that's just a "build it yourself" zone does not count.
>>740795147Yup. Annnnny second now.
>>740791504Your Steam Deck cost $900. Your PC cost $1,000+. Why is cost suddenly an issue for you?
>>740795185>trusting inflation calculators as absolute irrefutable gospel
>video games are now banned from having DLCSo it’s only bad when Nintendo does it?
>>740795286>Finding Eevees Friends>Building the legendary bird habitats>Machop and other Palette Town specific pokemon>Mad a building game has a build it yourself zoneWhere's the "I don't play games" pepe when you need him
>>740795561>all 20 items Why are tendies so dishonest? Compare the price of the game + 1 DLC instead
>>740795561>>740794903>>740792380This is literally you.
>>740796025show me outrage for other games with season passes, then we'll talk.
>>740796141i only have a switch 2 so i don't give a fuck what those retards are doing,
>>740795860>a- actually it has 5 zones instead of 4? That means it IS worth 105$It still only has 4 zones.
>>740796141You are truly ignorant. Do you ever go to any threads other than Nintendo threads?
>>740793252>far worse game with a fraction of the content cost lessYes ive noticed.
>>740795052How is Nintendo the worst offender? Capcom has been doing this for decades.
>>740795461I paid $1k+ for a PC so I can work AND get cheap games on sale.
>>740795461My Deck cost $549. The games I buy cost $30 at most.
>>740797013The fact you're even asking shows how retarded you are.MKW is 90$PLZA is 120$DKB is 80$These are all far over the market norm.
>>740795561>release game>release $40 DLC 4 months later>this is fine by the way
>>740796007>>740797468So does the game not have enough content in the first place that buying the DLC is essentially required? Or is Nintendo now banned from releasing expansion packs?
>>740784238Because Tendies have been accepting it ever since they re-released New Super Mario 3D Land + two hour DLC for $60
>>740797806An expansion pack for 2/3rds of the game's price, coming out this soon after it was released? Do you really not feel that something's wrong here?
>>740797806>the game not have enough content in the first placeCorrect. It's less than 15 hours of gameplay.
>>740784238oh good, they've caught up to industry standards
>>740797806Nintendo needs to be destroyed so Sony and Microsoft can take their rightful places as leaders in gaming.
>>740784238>How does Nintendo think 105$ for a video game is acceptable?I dunno, ask EVERYONE ELSE THIS FUCKING QUESTION.You faggots actually normalized this shit and NOW you're crying?Fuck right off, the lot of you.
>>740797996>nincels>having any sort of critical thinking skillsThey'd line up to pre-order sloptendo branded wet cardboard
>>740798073You're delusional. >>740798167Wow, 12 DLCs for the price of the a base game and 1 DLC.And it's funny, because none of those DLCs are even gameplay related. It's cosmetics you can easily ignore.
>>740798801>>740798361>it's okay when everyone else does it
>>740798113You seem angry.
Games have been doing season pass bullshit for over a decade, but suddenly it's a problem now that Nintendo's doing it I guess
Jesus Christ did you just wake up from a coma? This has been how most companies has sold games for 2 decades and other companies are doing way worse
>Street Fighter 6: $85 at launch with Year 1 pass, Year 2 $30, Year 3 $30, Year 4 $30>Forza Horizon 6: $120 for Premium, does not include all future DLC>MH Wilds Premium Deluxe: $110 not on sale, does not include all future DLC or expansions
>>740799520You don't understand, Koei Tecmo asking you to pay $480 for DoA6 isn't bad, but Nintendo charging $30 for DLC is evil and the worst thing to happen to the industry since they entered the market.
>>740798801>And it's funny, because none of those DLCs are even gameplay related. It's cosmetics you can easily ignore.Now I know you're a faggot because every single one of those costumes have a story and quest locked behind them, fuck you.
>>740799173See >>740796025 + >>740795052
>>740799520>Therefore it's acceptableRetardAlso I've never seen a $40 dlc.
>>740799941Not Nintendo, not bad.
>>740800180Sorry I don't play random CGI looking digimon shit. Still, 12 DLCs for the price of the base game on the Switch 2.
>>740800769>Sorry I don't play random CGI looking digimon shit.Then don't respond to me you disingenuous faggot.>Still, 12 DLCs for the price of the base game on the Switch 2.Except it's not because the base game is $70 WHICH YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY.Why lie? Why even do any of this? Is this a bit?
>>740799941Clearly this doesn't count because those games go on discount but Nintendo games never go on discount.This whole thread is nothing but ragebait, shitposts, people calling out shitposters and them acting like they got slapped which causes them to start sealioning.
>>740792512that looks really dogshit for a gamecube game
>>740802626It's only bad when Nintendo does it, get it through your skull.
>>740798167>£I thought your government blocked this site last summer?
>>740804439What? No lmao.Why would they block Steam?They already complied with the age verification bullshit by making you use a credit card once.
>tendies now defending cut content Lmfao called it
>>740784509>>740784238>>740784728
I've dumped over 120 hours into the base game.
>>740784238Bro you donate more in church, $110 is nothing.
>>740784509It all makes sense, they're burger righties
>>740784238they know tendies will pay, they are already asking $70 for a mobile game
>>740804689THIS site, the evil imageboard you are posting on right now
>>740784238>Their new business practice is to make a game, cut out half of it, sell it at full price, then sell "DLC" for 40$ moreWere you alive for the past three generations or 20 years of video games?
>>740805325You realize tithing is very close to the same breakdown as mobile game spending, right? Most people give nothing except maybe at Easter. It’s entirely supported by the wealthy, usually older people. Like ask your church finance guy roughly what the church budget is and what the highest donor is, I guarantee that one member/family is more than 10% of the entire budget. I was on the finance committee at my old church (we moved) and over 90% of the $1.5 million budget came from eight couples in their 60s and 70s. Made canvassing for shortfalls easy at least, just call them.
>>740805623Oh you mean 4chan, yeah it turns out they can't really enforce it, they REALLY want that money but nothing is coming out lmao.
>>740784238you faggots buy it anyways.
>>740784238There needs to be actual violent punishment for supporting shitendo
>>740800503See >>740796025 + >>740795052
>>740790818This shit leaked before the game even came out.Enjoy your three expansion passes.
>>740802626You look so mentally unstable. Also, your entire argument is "h- he did it too!!!".You are literally just trying to defend price gouging anyway you can.
>hourly snoy seethe thread
>NOOOO!!! u can ever say ANYTHING bad about Nintedo!!!
>>740809467Fuck off faggot, I'm not defending jack and shit you retarded ape, I'm pissed that this is only now an issue as soon as Nintendo is involved as per usual.I corrected them for spreading the lie that the base game is now $105 when it's still $69.99, and THIS is defending?Go shitpost somewhere else, you won't get me trapped in your retarded argument.
>>740812738>Tendie meltie while defending his best friends There there champ. It’ll be okay. If you’re a good boy then maybe miyamoto will see this!
>>740807818So is your new plan to post without using your trip so no-one tracks you down?
>>740787105>A blatant Stardew Valley rip off.you did not play the game.
