I'm not buying another console unless it has "Nintendo" stamped on it.

I love the 3rd party games out there, but I won't buy another console to play them. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

Nintendo content is superb and well beyond the quality and games-craftsmanship of anyone else. I will always continue to buy their hardware so I can play their software.

3rd parties are largely about fucking the consumer and robbing us blind with a continued downward spiral of the valuation of our products. i.e. they keep offering you less and less while increasing the price, individuall and overall.

This DLC image above is a perfect example of what happens when you're only focus is on short-term gains. Nintendo doesn't do this and likely never will. Its anti-consumer and focuses on giving the consumer a lower end product while increasing the price. Additionally, it ruins the IP.

I also refuse to pay for online access. There is no reason for it. PC has lived for decades on free online play for its games AND the games tend to cost less. It is merely another way greedy corps are fucking us.

While the rest of you all have your lubed up asses, I'm sticking with Nintendo and its policy of hugs and high-fives.

So to 3rd parties (that don't put quality on Nintendo hardware) and MSony, I say rot in hell.

Nintendo just give you the same game time and time again..............that is better because?!

Most games are shit now for screwing you over in some form. This is why you wait and get the game + all DLC on steam for $1 or bargin bin 6 months after launch.

You'll probably get shit, but you make good points.

Are not they the ones who don't drop the price in some games for years?

Who are you trying to impress with this? Wanna look opinionated at parties as your friends all nod appreciatively at you? Because if you are doing this for yourself, then chances are you are going to miss out on a lot of games you want to play, just because you don't like where the industry is heading. Boo hoo.

Hint: Wait a year or 2 later when they release the "Ultimate Edition" with all DLC included.
Fun Fact: Video games are among the most depreciating products in the known world. Whats $60 with $30 DLC day 1 becomes $30 with all DLC in a couple years. Learn to wait.

same game time and time again is the entirety of what EA creates.

Nintendo's Super Mario and other IPs are 100% new and completely different games each iteration. There's a reason they sell more on one console than Madden/FIFA and other crap sells on all cosnoles combined.

You clearly do not play Nintendo hardware and are basing your logic on fantasy ignorant beliefs held by self-proclaimed core gamers.

Whats changed I ask....Didn't you only ever buy Nintendo consoles anyways?

and stupid region lock

Just because something retains its full value over time does not mean its somehow bad.

Fact is mario, zelda and other games are supremely popular for the entire life of the hardware and well after where the games 3rd parties shovel out are proven to be worthless a month later.
