"I mean i dont necessarily disagree with what you are saying but it basically comes down to the difference between "the summer lineup doesnt appeal to me" vs "the system has a summer drought"." But it doesn't. The fact of the matter is a significantly large portion of Switch gamers are not going to purchase any of the games coming out in the summer season. That's the entire reason why I used the numbers argument - not because I like to appeal to installbase or majority rule (I usually steer clear of that shit like a rotting corpse) - but because the first thing everyone brings up when you say you're disappointed by a drought is "Oh, it's just that it doesn't appeal to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" . "If somebody says that the lineup isnt appealing to them or that its lacking specific types of game than i would have no issue with their statement because i cant argue with peoples personal preferences and im well aware that Switch is missing certain types of games." No, you could argue with that, you just wouldn't because that small change in wording makes you switch a gear from "objective statement" to "opinion statement", and you wouldn't want to come off like a jerk. When in reality, 99% of what's said on this forum is said as an opinion, with the purpose of being an opinion, with the acknowledgement that it is - an opinion. "The issue i have is when people make blank statements like it has a 3-4 month drought or there is nothing coming then its only after someone points out that alot of content is coming that they start to talk about why those games dont fit their personal criteria." Um, those lists don't fit the criteria of the average consumer in general. That's the entire point. If you're going to argue from a psuedo objective standpoint, that's not the way to do it. Oh, and I wasn't referencing your list. I was referencing Miyamotoo's, which was literally a link to wikipedia. I think you could actually make a compelling argument that this summer season is the best the Switch has been since last year, by the way. Lots of big third party game. And Octopath looks cool. I actually would go as far as to say that, the launch months of Kirby(march), and Donkey Kong and Hyrule Warriors (May I believe?) were more dry then this month (well ... I mean ... might as well include Wolfenstein 2 and Crash as this month, right : D) |
ill be the first to admit that Switch lacks any really big sellers from Jan-Oct, i have said in multiple different threads that it seems like Nintendo has been coasting on a steady output of small-medium sized titles for most of the year but still just because games arent big sellers doesnt make it a drought unless the original statement was specifically talking about a lack of multimillion selling titles or individual system sellers or big budget, AAA titles.
But ya i admitted to him that i probably over reacted in my responses to him, you know as well as i do that there are certain users who will take any chance to bash Nintendo's lineup, i dont believe he is one of them but i let my annoyance of them get the best of me.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
