    What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

    QQQ:

     

    Oh I thought you meant instant messaging and stuff. Don't know any games that have text chat except Rocket League, but for that you can use your phone's keyboard, ye. I guess text chat is cool but it doesn't really work on a console where you're holding a controller instead of using a keyboard.

     

    It's not that I want to see Nintendo fail (maybe a little bit... but not really... maybe) but there's just something really funny about a video game company making so many baffling decisions. All the time. Good on them if they manage to turn things around with the Switch but it's looking baaaaaaaad at the moment.

    online has never been great on a Nintendo consoles admittedly. the phone app for voice chat thing is a bit weird but it depends how it integrates i guess. it could work quite well if it has text-chat and other options which is possible with a smart phone and would be something PlayStation and Xbox can't offer on their systems unless they go a similar route which i doubt.

     

    because they're going to charge for online they might focus more on online. then again maybe not but we don't know shit about the online system so it's too early to say.

    Both PS and Xbox have an app for that stuff, except the voice chat is handled through the console... where you play the games. It's fine if they want to charge for online but everything they've revealed so far is worse than what their competitors have been offering for over a decade (and compared to PC that's not even that good of a deal in the first place). AND PSN is pretty terrible to begin with. They won't even comment on whether or not prior online purchases on the Wii and Wii U carry over to this thing and it's two months away. They're clueless lol

     

    how have 3rd parties given up on it btw? look at this line up of games coming out and being developed for it:

    obviously this might change if the console sells poorly but i really can't see it doing as badly as the Wii U which was poorly branded and marketed.

    They've been promising good third party support with every new console and it's failed every single time.

     

    side note to dis convo: why do people get so angry about games consoles they don't want to buy? iPhone owners don't sperg out about Android devices existing and hip hop fans don't spend all their time talking shit about metal. video gamers are fuckin dumb.

    I'm not angry I just think it's funny. This thread would be really boring if it was just an echo chamber for Nintendo news.
