Forums - Gaming - Laura Kate Dale : BGE 2 exclusive to Switch... For 12 months.

LurkerJ on 03 January 2017

A timed exclusive... More like free publicity.

Watch the game getting delayed if the NS tanks, and by that I mean, don't watch, because the NS won't tank

Yeah, thats why GTAV bombed so hard and got so low review scores...

GTA V had very high production values which I'm sure wowed many and an excessive marketing budget but as a mechanically-inclined gamer and major fan of GTA SA, I saw through the cutting-edge graphics and was left terribly unimpressed.

Nintendo assisted them and published in West. Exact details were never written, but Nintendo did enough for them to cancel the PS3 version of the game and start over on Wii.

Well in the west, it kinda is a niche series.

But it moves consoles on Japan.So its an important title for Nintendo nonetheless.And as far as I know, the last entry sold more than 1 million in the west.If thats niche, then 70% of the market is made up by niche titles.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Well guess Im just one of the dumb gamers that cant see through cutting edge graphics then. I enjoyed the game alot.

That we are but what about the people that only want one console? Having a ps4/x1 or ps3/360 would have given you majority of the popular multiplats out there. Having a wiiU wouldn't. If Nintendo invested on third party ports, then more people would be more inclined to look at the wiiU compared to it not having those big multiplats. Why? Cause the wiiU has one unique thing that the other consoles doesn't and that is Nintendo games.

Similar situation with the switch with the added functionality of being able to take your games anywhere. Yea it will look worse but being able to play the big third party games anywhere as well as being able to play Nintendo games is a big benefit (as long as it has those games) even if it sacrafices graphics because people do like Nintendo games. Its just I think most people would rather have Nintendo games + big third party games than Nintendo games and niche third party games.

And of course, its not like Nintendo can't invest on those niche games after the console has started being a success... Cause that is when they will have loads of money to throw around which will be enough to cover both niche and popular games.

Well if you only get one console, then you miss out on the exclusives on other consoles. Nintendo cant keep paying for every big multi platform title and getting only a few wont help them anyway. They had COD, AC and Batman on WiiU, but that did fuck all. Sure it would be cool to have the big games on the go, but that is up to every publisher to decide. Im sure Bayonetta 2 did more for the WiiU than any big AAA port did.

Yes but that is what a lot of people do... Not everyone can afford all 3 consoles and it shows by the sales numbers. Most people just want one console that has a great mix of exclusives and third party games. And yes, they can't keep on paying for every big multiplatform title but they can pay for the ones that people really want + aren't likely to come. We have had AssCreed, Cod and etc in the past so they don't need to pay for those, they just need to pay for the zomg ones like RDR2 and it has to be a simultanous launch of course. Also that depending on how well the games sell which they should sell well, they shouldn't need to continue to pay. We have had many publishers say "we will wait and see" because they want to see how the Switch sells first before putting in the effort. If Nintendo pays them and get the Switch to sell a lot, then the publishers will port the games anyway cause there is money to be made.

The other issue is that those ports were late ports with some of them missing dlc and what not. The games that were being ported, maybe except COD, everyone has already played on other consoles before it went on the wiiU. Why would people buy a game that they already played a while ago, just on a different console and the upgraded visuals aren't that noticable? Oh and some of them with missing content and performance hiccups. And then of course, you had that with all the other third parties saying their games wont be on the wiiU and it's pretty easy to see where the market confidence with the third party support went.

I don't mind it that much tbh, as long as it comes to the Switch I'm good (Also I'm secretly hoping that Crash is a timed exclusive too, so yeah).

Im sure a game like GTA would sell well on the Switch, but it would sell to the people who already wanted a Switch. Im sure Nintendo fans would love a GTA game, but its one of the few big franchises that would do well on a Nintendo console I think. The PS4 and XB1 are better consoles for people who enjoy GTA, RDR, COD, AC, BF and the likes, because they also get more mature exclusive games like Halo, TLOU, Uncharted, Gears Of War, God Of War etc. The core gamer ship has sailed for Nintendo. They should just focus on experiences you wont get on other consoles. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, Pokemon etc. plus exclusive third party games and some new IPs from Nintendo is the way to go for them I think. If they get some big AAA multi platform games, then thats a great bonus.

These are the kind of leaks/rumors that hurt sales. Now people will jut wait for it to come to there preferred system effectively cutting sales. Pretty screwed up.

You do know that the entire point of GTA is so that you can do all these things right... That trailer is just one of a huge number of things updates that GTA has been getting... Sure the single player might not be as good as SA but its online is amazing.

Maybe the variety is in online? I played GTA V years ago when it first released and was too disappointed by single-player once online was implemented... I sort of tried it but GTA O was marred with issues when it was first launched so I just gave up.

What are some of your favorite GTA O missions?

But I am not here to change your opinion, just don't try to state them as fact

I don't believe I ever did.

I'm not gonna fault people for enjoying high production values. I can enjoy them too but at the end of the day, my hands need something to do with the controller they're holding and GTA V had far too many moments where I was either sitting through a cutscene or I was just following along a map route on my way to yet another cutscene as an NPC yammered away gnawing my ear off with the game's story.
