Forums - Nintendo - Top 5 Reasons Why PlayStation Gamers Might Want Nintendo Switch...

Robert_Downey_Jr. on 01 March 2017

I will probably buy it but not till they at least announce 5 titles that I'm interested in. So far we're at 2 (Mario Odyssey and Zelda) and kinda MK8 Deluxe but I already had that on WiiU. I bought a WiiU a year and a half into its life and sold it 2 and a half in after I burned through the backlog of Mario, Wind Waker HD, MK8, Donkey Kong, and a couple classic titles. Just not enough software to be my primary console but the portable aspect could save it this time if I'm trying to play and my parents want the TV (I could do it with WiiU but I hated the gamepad. Gotta get that pro controller even though they went away from symmetrical sticks which sucks).

It's so sad how people in the internet can be so douchey.

I mean, sure maybe not all of those reasons make the switch a "buy now" system for some people, but they're valid.
Sure, all opinions should be listen and respected, but when you have opinions like this:
"Nintendo is about to flip the Switch! to it's own suicide! On purpose too!!! You gotta be a moron by now if you can't see that! It's own thing! You say! No! They're doing what they're told to do! Nintendo will dump it's hardware! And will go into the software industry for good! And that xbox one and PS4 fiasco!? Yeah that was by design as well too to do one thing! To get you to hate the xbox one and to choose the PS4! And you are all still being monitored through your PS4!"

or this
(Horizon review):" Open world... What can I say? This game was just as boring as The Elder Scrolls VI: Skyrim, Fallout 4, Uncharted 4, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Grand Theft Auto V, Far Cry Primal, etc... If you make an open world, please don't fill it with pointless quests or collectibles".
It makes me die a little inside :(

that guy must've been a big fan of AC1.  Nothing was in that world

That pun is totally overused.

AC1 gets a free pass because it was sort of revolutionary. Since AC1 there have been hundrends of clones, that each add something new or fill out the genre more, ect.

Thus each new open world game should be compared to the BEST of the open world games out there, not the worst or the firsts.

There is a reason why every open world game these days gets bashed for "Fetch quests", and that is because Witcher 3 showed us that you can go above the mindless fetch quests and make it more. So when we play a game like FF15 after playing Witcher 3, those fetch quests make us die a little inside each time we get one.

Why is that video geared towards PS4 users? Why doesn't it have to be directed towards Xbox users too? Or Nintendo users? Still, the video is not good and it feels condescending. And it definitely doesn't make me get a Switch, as it still doesn't have what I want.

As a PS gamer i've already made up my mind to get it, just not on day 1.

Only points that actually mattered:

I agree with #3 where I've always believed that Nintendo knows portables.

And I definitely agree with #1, Since I loved my PSP Go using as a hybrid so having the NS as a hybrid drew me in instantly.

I'm definitley getting one, just not day one, maybe in a few years to wait and see how well Nintendo actually supports the NS.

Yes, but making a perfect game is almost imposible, The witcher 3 is amazing and what makes it amazing for me are the side quest and contracts not the main story or even the open world, which i think AC2 or Batman AC did a lot better and those 2 are "old". About the "fetch Quests" i totally agree, i just started Horizon: ZD and the first 2 side quest made me lose a little bit of excitment for the game in general. And why the fuck cant Aloy run while using the "Focus" ability

Guessing it's due to the youtube channel being PLAYSTATIONL LIFESTYLE, and thus the majority of its subscribers and viewers would be playstation fans.
