The fact that his name is "angel whispers" cracks me up. Apparently when angels whisper, it sounds a lot like the most wounded, defensive fan rant I've heard in ages. This is glorious.
Really!? It's my writing and poetry name. I also use it for other spaces to talk about music, video games and disability, among other things. It's named after a magic spell from a video game, combined with a belief in the power, comfort and healing of words. It's very upsetting to learn that you're here to use my username as a point for a personality attack. But Yeah, your grand presumptions about me and my life are cute. Thank you for teaching me that bullying is tolerated in this place.
I don't want to push salt in a wound, but their advice isn't bad. There are practicalities of the Switch design that make this reasonable. And with the advantage of hindsight, the same advice would have served players pretty well for the last two generations on Nintendo consoles. There is a point where if you want, frankly, more of the popular/influential third-party games of a generation, a Nintendo console isn't the place to do that.
They're not "dictating to Nintendo fans," they're pointing out reality. That being said, I see some people sort of relishing in some of those realities in a hostile way, so I see some of where you're coming from.
Edit: Looking again at the tail end of what you wrote, Mass Effect Andromeda seems like it's a Scorpio title as well, because it's an XB1 title. That's why there isn't an "equivalent" thread.
Calm down. Father_Brain is stating the obvious, itll be rare the switch will get all AAA titles like the ps4, xbone.. the switch will mostly be , like all other Nintendo consoles, a 1st party box.. they might get some but the library will mainly consist of their games(im not considering indies).. so why not invest in the switch for Nintendo's first party and get the third party games on the other consoles.
Scorpio is an Xbox One. People will be able to take their Xbox One copy and play it on Scorpio. Use paragraphs.
Since when are multi-billion dollar industries sensitive? It has been known for well over a decade which platforms people should purchase if their primary interest is third party games. And looking at sales data each month, that is a very high proportion of the retail customer base.
And if not wanting spend hundreds of dollars to have access to more software is reasonable, how would Bayonetta 2 getting ignored on Wii U be outrageous?
Mooreberg, perhaps you should read more, and read more carefully. I said nothing of multi-billion dollar industries, only people on here. telling others to shut up and deal, with regard to non-exclusive titles. Non-exclusive titles, specifically.
It appears that my post touched a nerve, and it's quite telling that some of you quoting me didn't even read it properly. Please, don't tell me to "calm down", when Father Brain was the one telling people to shut up and deal, with his "FFS". For Me, There is no "wound", and how anybody can take that from what I wrote, I don't know. Some people wish to play this game on their platform of choice. That is true whether you're a prospective buyer of Switch or Project Scorpio - On the point about why there's no "equivalent" thread, the tweets in question stated PS4 and "Neo", as if they weren't one of the same thing, and to that end, perhaps the same can be said of XBox One and Project Scorpio.
The insensitivity is not from anybody associated with EA, and once more, how anybody takes that from what I wrote, I don't know... Read carefully, and please don't put words in my mouth. Their tweets suggested that they're open to a release further down the line. The insensitivity is rather from people on here telling people to "shut up and buy" other platforms for non-exclusives. Some people don't have the means or the time to do that, non-exclusives aren't the reason to buy any console, and those fans have every right to express their disappointment without being told how to feel, and so long as they're not threatening people for decisions that weren't their call. They won't be able to play it on Day One, and while that's sad, it isn't by any means the end of the world. If there is anything to take, it's that their publisher is pledging support, and responses seem a lot better than what happened with the Wii U. There is an event in a few days, and "third parties" have been tight-lipped about it. Is a "wait and see" stance so unreasonable?
Whose reality? Just because something happened before, it doesn't mean the same thing will happen perpetually, and given the factors I've mentioned, Bethesda on board, and a growing list of partnerships, why SHOULDN'T Nintendo fans have some faith that it's going to be better? The reality is that all the first party output will go towards one library. The reality is that the Switch is very much a reboot for the platform hosts. The reality is that you have comments from publishers stating that they've increased their endeavours. The reality is that it has a change of direction - It therefore seems rather foolish to peddle this narrative of "same old, nothing ever changes", when the reality points to something very different. I don't understand why so many on here and other sites are in the business of dragging people and kicking them down, when all that's needed here is "Well, that's unfortunate that there are currently no plans for this non-exclusive, but they've said that the door is open, so, let's hope that it's possible further down the line...", and why is the thought of those games existing in some capacity on Nintendo platforms so bad? When the shoe is on the other foot, or a game is exclusive, then there's a moving of goalposts. They start talking about "held back by hardware", when it's not because of specs, and yet some have the nerve to say that I'm the one having a meltdown? A meltdown would be bashing and trashing all but Nintendo, but I'm not here for any of that. I don't care for spec wars or console warrior BS. To sympathise with Nintendo fans somehow means I'm a "fanboy", or worthy of harassment and parody? What is that, please, and where were your words for the people encouraging that!? Where were your words for that type of bullying? Where were the moderators to protect members from such treatment?
Those fans are also allowed to feel that the overall picture is healthier with regard to "third parties" - We have reports that lots of UE4 titles are coming. A game which started out on PS4 (Rime) is coming to Switch, too, while there were reports of Dark Souls 3 running on it, with a view to porting the trilogy (an important point because it's a 2016 title). Still, it has been said that if games don't come, it won't be because of specs, So, put all those points together, and I don't think it's unreasonable for Nintendo fans to be hopeful (even if just a little) that more games will come to their preferred choice.
But every such thread often descends into "Buy another system and shut up!!", or ends up full of people dragging hardware, when the tweets and articles in question don't even mention it, full of forced narratives and presumptions about the Switch's abilities, and people trying to suck any sense of anticipation out of those excited to learn more, as if the thought of other games existing on Nintendo platforms is an affront to gaming. It's vile, and there are a lot of forum lurkers who feel discouraged from posting on these type of sites because of it. It's why I didn't post on here for three years, and I'm starting to wish I stayed away. THAT is what's wrong, and for me to point it out is not even close, let alone equal to a "meltdown". I'm tired, so, I'll leave it here.
