Forums - Nintendo - World of Tanks could be released on Switch, depends on the install base

Meh, developers like this are annoying. They deserve to be bashed.

World of Tanks sounds like the most boring game concept I have heard of since Bible games.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I actually think they have very logical argument, they basically said they want to release game when installe base is big enuf for them, its free to play online game, so ithey need biger instal base than curent one.

And WoT is one of best online game that I played (I played it for years on PC).

Every damn semi popular game has to have the Switch question these days. Keep it on the systems that has enough people who actually give a damn.

Clearly they didn't read that article about the gold rush on the Switch.

More install base means more consumers sure, but higher install base also usually means more competition.

They haven't read the article about the importance of game icons in the Switch menu either. The gist of it is that Switch owners don't want games that can be associated with free-to-play.

You mean Nintendo fans want quality? Who knew!?

I feel like it is deja vu.  Isn't World of Tanks f2p or is it monthly subscription?  I don't care about f2p games.  Wow you spent thousands of dollars and you are better than me.  What a surprise.

Not true in this case, it's not pay to win at all.

While you can buy special tanks, but they don't make you any better, and you need a lot of skill for this game. The gold tanks are actually notably weaker than most other tanks on the same level - their main advantage is that they are much cheaper to repair, netting you more credits or any credits at all if you loose the battle on higher tiers (repairs and ammo get expensive by then). The only other advantages are that you can buy bigger barracks (more crew members, meaning you don't need to swap them out between tanks if you have many of them and the visual customisations (like camo and logos) on your tanks ain't temporary.

In the past, the game also had gold ammo, generally APCR instead or simple AP shots which have a higher penetration, but dtill don't make more damage (with a few exeptions on artillery and the VK 36.01. Now you can buy these with credits, though they are more expensive than normal ammunition

Doesn't sound that bad then. 

You ever play the Tank Troopers eshop game that Nintendo published on 3DS?  It isn't the best but it has a bunch of real tanks from past along with some made up tanks.  I'm not sure why they only have local play on it though.  It seemed like it would actually be really fun to play people online but for some reason they didn't include an online mode.  I had fun with single player campaign (some missions were simple while others were a little challenging/almost unfair).  However, the lack of online play pretty much kills any replayability or striving to unlock anything besides a mid tier tank.

Well, I don't want to play your dumb game, anyway! I don't know anything about it but it's dumb! *pouts and kicks rock*

Ah, gamers.

Salt mockery aside, this makes all the sense in the world for the type of game we're talking about. Games like this need a large ecosystem to tap into.

It's on PC and about a billion other systems isn't it?  I'm just tired of hearing stupid shit from developers/publishers all the time. 

Oh I don't know what to do or how to utilize that controller.   - Bullshit excuse

We'll see how this first game sales.  -  Bullshit excuse if they put a half ass port out to die

 

I'm just tired of hearing their shit just as much as your tired of hearing us bitch and moan.

What did he say that was stupid?  Why shouldn't they wait until they know a business decision to expand to a new market is economically viable?  To please a small group of gamers? 

And it's not on a billion other systems.
