celador said: the whole 'the only people who are complaining are those with no interest in the game and Nintendo anyway' argument is back in full force I see. Hate to tell you but you can still be a Nintendo fan while criticising them |
Of course you can. But there's a bunch of people on vgchartz (not many, just a few) who blow every single issue of the Switch out of proportion and are not even interested in buying the console. There's a difference between criticism and fear-mongering (and flat-out trying to kill people's enjoyment of a product). I'm not an Xbox fan but I'd never make a new thread for every single negative piece of Microsoft use and blow it out of proportion.
We've had scratch-gate where people said "the dock is faulty!" (or even "it's a cheap plastic screen! How dare Nintendo!") ...and not a single Switch user had a scratch on their unit on this forum (and the 3DS, PS Vita and the PSP had plastic screens, too).
There was Joy-Con Gate and the same people claimed "it's a major hardware issue! It can never be fixed!" ...turns out it's minor problem and can easily be repaired.
Or what about Zelda's horrible, horrible framerate... that actually isn't horrible at all and doesn't drop more often than most PS4 / Xbone games.
And of course we have the graphics drama with every new Switch game that fails to hit a certain resolution or fps ...even though the Switch is a portable machine and you can bet the same people wouldn't complain if this was a "Playstation Hybrid" with the exact same specifications.
Again, it's just a very minor portion of the vgchartz community but personally I think it's annoying. And yes, I'd be just as annoyed if people flooded the Playstation or Xbox forums with these threads. I didn't like the dozens of "X game has lower resolution on Xbox One" threads either (and I'm a PS4, Vita, PSP and PS3 owner. I even own a PSP Go and love it!).
Of course everyone is allowed to make the threads they want and even make as many negative threads about a console as they want. I just don't think it's very classy.
