Bullshit I tell you

#

Nintendo and their eternal greed will strip you of the right to own anything

#

It's already 10 bucks more but it's also just useless

rigid mountain
#

$10 for the experience?

glad sinew
#

It’s really just for the right to resell the game-key card, and the freedom to let people borrow it easily.

jolly egret
glad sinew
#

From what limited things I understand, I believe this actually makes it significantly harder to pirate, since the game cartridge doesn’t contain the game.

grr hiss

#

… you know what these fucking are? They’re essentially game download NFTs. They contain nothing except the key for & location of a digital asset stored somewhere else entirely.

desert panther
#

finally good nft games???

#

but wheres the rugpulling and bag holding

dark aspen
#

Wait so that's really it!? You pay 90 dollars for a chip and then you need another 80 to buy the digital copy that should be in the physical?

rigid mountain
#

the chip is like a fancy redeem code

dark aspen
#

Oh I see, so it's just a password chip?

#

Or, like its name suggests, a "game-key card"?

upper yarrow
#

You are basically paying an extra $10 for the plastic case, and the plastic chip that acts like a game voucher you’d buy at Target

#

Fackin, “You don’t own your games” -type move

dark aspen
#

So, not only is the chip just to say "aight he paid" but you need wifi to download the game too?

dark aspen
#

That's got to be a scam...

#

It just feels completely useless.

upper yarrow
#

And in the future whenever Nintendo stops internet service for Switch 2…

#

You are screwed

#

No more downloading games

dark aspen
#

So they can cancel the chip's validity or the console itself when they deem it necessary?

upper yarrow
#

Idk about the console

#

But if you don’t have internet connection

desert panther
#

i love digital goods!!!!!

upper yarrow
#

You can’t download the game

#

Which is what the CHIP DOES

#

IT DOWNLOADS THE DAMN GAME

desert panther
#

saltroll problem, consumer?

upper yarrow
#

Why don’t we all collectively

glad sinew
#

Ok, but hold on, there is a MARGINAL chance that this is less bad IF AND ONLY IF the game is downloaded to the game key card and then permanently lives on it.

upper yarrow
#

Stop buying stuff

dark aspen
#

That's why I loved cds; they had the game in 'em and nothing could take that away... though they could easily get damaged...

upper yarrow
dark aspen
#

Exactly!

upper yarrow
#

What’s the point of having the consumer put the game on their chip?

desert panther
#

I would download a car, and I will pirate these games

dark aspen
#

Could be a measure against thiefs I guess?

glad sinew
#

Essentially at that point, the game key card would function the same as before, just with Nintendo saying “we were too lazy to pre-load the game onto the card for you.”

#

And tbh, I can see their logic IF that is their approach. Most games have patches and updates that need to be downloaded up-front, so why not just… download the entire game (in its latest version) up-front anyways?

dark aspen
#

Maybe the card is deactivated until its bought, at which point it's registered as "bought" and hence usable?

upper yarrow
glad sinew
#

BUT, even in that scenario, you are still limited by the need for an internet connection up-front, and you would be subject to the Switch 2 eShop’s End of Service in a decade or so.

upper yarrow
#

This is just that but for extra money

dark aspen
#

Yeah you right...

upper yarrow
#

And extra microplastics

#

Yummy

glad sinew
#

No, specifically not yummy. They coat the game cards in anti-yummy chemicals these days, just out of spite.

dark aspen

#

nintendo optimizing their brand to be as miserable for consumers as possible

upper yarrow

#

As miserable as possible outside of the games, and as fun as possible inside the games.

glad sinew
#

I think they started anti-yum chemical usage with switch games (maybe 3DS too?)

glad sinew
upper yarrow
#

All digital games implores the customers to buy SD Cards

#

As Digital takes up more storage compared to a card

#

Basically, we should use as many fackin Switch 1 cartridges as possible since they’re backwards compatible

glad sinew
#

The game is the same file size no matter what storage it lives on; it’s just a matter of whether or not the game cards bring their own storage capacity, or rely entirely on the console’s storage.

glad sinew
#

If the new game-key cards store the game once downloaded, then they shouldn’t impact your console storage.

Look up the French revolution. It was basically a hunger strike because of unchecked, semi-corporate greed spawned inflation. (Did you know, Insulin costs about 20 bucks to make a ton of vials, and can be cheaper if you swab your butt for your own E-Coli to modify for production, but somehow sells legally in the US for 5k pre insurance, and only 4.999k post insurance!)

And it ended with like half the country going to the guillotine!

Based on many Nintendo made switch games closer to the switch end of life, it's liable to be that way. I don't truly know yet, but they have made glitchy, low framerate, zero challenge games for the past few pokemon ones, and I really only like those for story, and other Nintendo games also kinda sucked in this period. Although, I do forecast the first few will be passable quality, then afterwards they will make medium quality games to compete with how Sega just slapped back with a new golden age of Sonic.

potent mortar
#

If you're still hopeful about Pokemon games being good, or rather, disappointed by them being bad, then I have a bridge to sell you

#

Comparing games that Nintendo releases on their 8 year old, soon to be redundant console, vs on-release games for their new, more capable console is completely pointless

#

It's technically possible that the Switch 2 could be a Wii U level failure, but I doubt it

#

I think that you should try to keep an open mind about these games that aren't releasing for another 2 months (mostly if you plan on playing them)

Unless it's open-source, which I highly doubt it is.

Usually you can do that kind of thing but it voids all warranty and if Nintendo finds out they brick your switch (very cool!)

not a big assumption at all, It is just plain unlikely for the price announcement, public so soon after the tariffs were signed, to be adjusted/hiked in response while editing all materials for advertisement and PR. BIg decisions like product pricing isn't determined on a whim 🤷

That doesn't explain the pricing in Japan

End of the day Nintendo isn't evil for raising the price of their LUXURY product (because this is a video games console, not food). Tariffs exist adding to cost and changing the prices based on the whims of a "king" is not realistic.

this has been the case the past decade

no, you are making unrealistic and exaggerated representations of my argument and pinning it as illogical, while in reality that is not what I said. In essence, you are constructing a fake argument to argue with, and in your mind, winning

#

with how minecraft content was handled in the film i can only assume they decided it would be most profitable to make a minecraft movie targeted towards non-minecraft players

#

the tater tot gun and buck-chuckets were goofy yet alright but there were some utterly baffling inclusions

#

like boots of swiftness (real item) (i do not consider it on par to the items the protags make because steve "found" it despite them not existing)

upper yarrow
#

Also what was with the whole 80’s aesthetic? Minecraft didn’t even come out till 2009 - 20 years after that time period

not to mention them clearly being spectre boots from terraria in design and coloration

Yeah that

#

There were some weird ideas taken from the spinoffs

  • Earth Crystals I think were from MCEarth
  • Swift Boots and Orb of Dominance from Dungeons
  • Malgoshia, Netherwart staving off zombification, and the Night Beacon from Legends
#

Like what were they doing

that explains the boots at least

the other thing i found rather strange was the design of the creeper farm

overall i wouldn't say it's the worst movie ive ever watched but i spent most of it being confused or at least a similar feeling

jack black's performance really feels like what all the news articles explaining why he was promoted from talking pig to steve were saying about his performance

#

the story was definitely not intended as a selling point

which i can understand

overall i would say this is less a minecraft movie and more a movie with minecraft featuring jack black

The main character gets along well with the daughter since she's basically just a happy little kid, who enjoys playing with her dog

#

Main character is essentially like a brother to her

#

Dad is a bit of an obsessive weirdo with things you shouldn't be obsessive and weird about

#

Decides to combine his daughter with her dog

#

Tldr she is no longer a happy kid who can play with her dog

#

She also then gets euthanized

Depending on the source it's also different

In one she's basically erased in a more peaceful manner, in another she's blown apart splattering the walls and street
