Well, you can resell the Dlc. EA, Capcom and Activision don't offer that.

Sure there are mature rated video games but they are very much in the minority the majority of game titles are rated at most for a teenager and generally people who don't feel their manhood is in danger when they buy a plastic toy in a shop.

I'm not saying "all games are for kids" I'm saying that games as a whole are something which is targetted towards children and teens, there are enthusiasts (this forum and users online) who enjoy these things from our childhood into adult life, but the fact remains that if you actually raise your head and look around at the tshirts, accessories and general colour scheme of a video game shop it isn't a place designed for adults (30+) we are the exception to the norm in the hobby we hold, I'm just saying don't start foaming at the mouth when Nintendo asks you to buy DLC in the form of a collectible figure because it's a way of making dlc more appealing to their target audiences (children and adult collectors who have accepted their faith as people who enjoy products designed for kids)

As a counter point to my own post you could obviously say that GTAV is one of if not the highest selling game on the current gen machines and that is 18+ but.... sadly some parents fucking suck and I know of kids as young as 8 who discuss their hours spent playing that game. Not all the copies of it are purchased for kids, but many are as it is a super popular game and it's considered something of a rite of passage if you are able to get your hands on a copy of GTA as a younger player in my experiences.

Not heckling anyone for doing those things, but if you go into a Marvel movie and another adult asks you if you enjoy super heroes in tights flying around saving the Earth... isn't that for kids? you will have to explain why you enjoy your comic book movies or if you were just a casual fan who doesn't read the comics.

All I'm saying is that if you partake in a hobby which is targetted at a certain audience you really have to just accept the fact that you're going to have to sit with a captain america plastic cup for your coke or enjoy your plastic toy dlc games... because that's part of what you're buying into.

Please understand me irstupid, I'm not having a go at people who enjoy games or other such hobbies... jesus I have thousands of games in my home and around 50+ consoles, I'm just saying I have long since accepted that I enjoy a hobby which isn't particularly designed for a 34 year old while I stood in a queue a few years back to get my copy of a pokemon game for the 3ds.

This stupid DLC policy makes me stop buying Nintendo games. You just do not get the full game anymore and in cases like BOTW you would have to spend hundreds of dollars for hard to find Amiibo.

This is about ratings. The two things I listed are entertainment. Puzzles and movies. Games are entertainment. too. From what you are stating, it seems all entertainment is designed for kids.

If were talking ratings, which game do you beleive is more mature game? Duke Nukem forever, or Journey? One is rated Mature, while the other 7. If I were to see two 30 year olds playing the games side by side, I would say the more mature person is the one playing journey. According ot you though, that game is meant for ONLY 7 year olds. Or how about Myst the game. THat is rated E, yet I woudl say it is a mature game.

It's scummy as hell, par for the course as far as Amiibos go. They are worse than the worst DLC.

you are so far from the point I'm making that I've no interest in continuing down the path, if you missed the point this much, that's fine.

Nintendo may do some terrible practices, but let's not start making claims that they're one of the worst or anything. Also, no need to make insulting claims as well. I'm a grown man and collect these as well. I don't go 'pow pow' with them either...

Also, despite some things being behind amiibo, you can still enjoy the game, you know...

Some amiibo are pretty bad in terms of locking content away, but to stack Smash Bros amiibo with them, which just allows for a customizable ai character that can be used with any person's game, seems like a stretch.

No to put on my shelf to display. Maybe stop posting such ignorant crap as yet again you target anyone who likes Nintendo stuff as kids.
