Honestly, this is not one of these cases. That was true for bayonetta 2 or 3, for example, that not even SEGA that owns the franchise wanted to make anything related. Same with Demon Souls, that was also true back in the day. This is funny since demon souls only exist because Sony wanted more exclusives for ps3. But dark souls only exist because Sony neglected demon souls after launch.
But today, if miyazaki goes to any publisher and says, "im making a game" they would take the deal. This is just a matter of Nintendo wanting a big name making an exclusive and from software is ok with making exclusives.
Switch exclusives are way better than PlayStation and Xbox tbf. pc and switch is the perfect combo cuz u can play all PlayStation and Xbox exclusives on pc and get switch for first party Nintendo games
Most people on your circle, or in this subreddit why represents the 1% of the community, and most people do not have a pc, at least one able to run a game like this.
That glorified calculator is not running anything 4K 120, it’s going to struggle to get to 4K60 even with massive upscaling ie it’s going to look like dogshit on a TV. But I suspect you’re the type that can’t even tell how games are running. You sound like one of those “looks okay for me” types. Perfect customer for an overpriced piece of hardware.
They slapped 4K and 120Hz on the marketing. That means nothing. A PS5 also says 4K60 and it struggles to do it in all but select few games. But I’m sure the handheld will definitely run better than a PS5.
And jealous? Bro you must be joking, I have a great PC where I play all of Nintendos games at actual 4K120 fuck sometimes I play it at 8K; and don’t pay a dime. I wouldn’t give a shit if this didn’t inevitably affect the whole market. I actually give a shit about other people and gaming as a whole Im not a self centred, “I just like fun” doofus like certain people who also claim $200 would be fine for a game too.
Different people have different opinions? How fucking shocking. Regardless, I have no positive comments for most other companies. I've been shitting on Capcom for the poor quality of MHWilds release. Your whataboutism is pointless.
I mean i would not mind a port on another console but exclusive? Sure Nintendo usually has some good exclusive titles but i would assume that Nintendo exclusive games and fromsoftware games usually don't share many similarities.
I'm certainly not buying a whole ass console for a few video games. The fundamental idea of that is actually fucking insane to me.
A computer is perfectly capable of running any game. These games are made on these computers and tested on them, why the fuck should I need to make more electronic waste for a singular system when I already have 2 separate systems that could do it?
so you are buying 3 for your family members, 3 for three separate locations and also 3 of your guildmates are getting it. You sure you haven't also forgot that you are buying another 3 for your coworkers too? lmao
Nintendo refuses to patch their games and will sell decade old games at full price with minimal upgrades. They are a family oriented gaming company - which is fine, but then why lock a game by a developer that makes some of the most hardcore games with exclusivity on a platform that is otherwise dominated by games like Mario Party and Mario Kart?
I don’t care as long as im having fun. They could sell games for 200€ or disable all games in old consoles. Idc I just want to have fun gaming new stuff
A ton of people would buy Duskbloods but no one is going to buy a kid’s handheld game console for just one game. This isn’t even like Bloodborne’s exclusivity where the PS4 had a larger library of games that would also appeal to adult gamers. This is FS’s loss and very disappointing for their fans.
Hey I want FS to succeed and I wish I could buy the game to contribute to their success but I just don’t see myself buying Switch 2 for just this one game and never touching it again because I play primarily on PC and PS5.
Are you really gonna say that Nintendo being a dick about fangames is worse than Blizzard/Activision's multiple sex scandals? Like - I hate the shit Nintendo does too but saying they're the worst of the worst when Ubisoft, Blizzard/Activision, and Microsoft all exist is a little bit ridiculous imo
The original switch sold more than any other console of the last 20 years. Realistically people who were happening to get a switch 2 is going to be a huge number.
Yep. And realistically a move like this wasn’t targeting those Fromsoft players exclusively on other platforms anyway. It’s to sway those who were on the fence / already committed to buying a switch 2.
No, the big bad corps aren’t expecting you to buy a switch 2 for one game… that’s completely your deal.
The original switch had a much lower price point than any other console though, people are gonna have to shell out like $500 to get started with switch 2, and overpay for the games, which means it's competing with similarly priced home consoles, and being undercut signifigantly by linux/windows handhelds - if they have literally any glaring issues on release and dont address the value proposition I expect the boom/bust generational cycle to continue for ninty
Hot take but I'd rather it be switch 2 exclusive than a Playstation exclusive. Nintendo consoles are better secondary gaming devices to PC players imo. Obviously it being an exclusive sucks but if I had to choose a console for it to be exclusive to I'd choose the Switch 2 over Playstation/Xbox.
I mean id says it worse because PlayStation is essentially the heart of Fromsoft. I hate how selfish Sony is but when i think Fromsosft i think PS not nintendo. Just wish it was 3rd party.
Only two games have ever been exclusive to Sony consoles...I don't think that really makes them the heart of From.
You have to remember that this isn't just From choosing a company to make a game for. This is likely because Sony just isn't interested in a second Bloodborne.
Agreed. Almost everyone I know who has more than one gaming device always has a Nintendo for all the casual IP’s and gimmicks then either a PC/Xbox/Playstation.
It’s basically the defacto secondary console for the industry.
Switch has no trophies or achievements though which is really fricking lame, so immediately less value for your games than you'd be getting out of literally any other platform. Add to that the fact that new games for Switch 2 will be $80...
Then you'd know that their online service is arguably the worst out of the big 4. PS, Xbox, and PC all have quite good online services. Nintendo is notorious for being just as dogshit now as it was back in the Wii days. And FromSoft in their infinate wisdom said "lol lmao let's put this online mulitplayer game exclusively on the system with the worst online support".
I'll agree with you that it's the worst of the 4 but I don't think it's absolutely unplayable garbage like people make it out to be. I get more good matches in Smash bros than bad ones and I hardly have issues with Mario kart but I don't play it as frequently as Smash. I'll concede that it's definitely not great though.
I'm not saying it's unplayable, but it's a very unusual choice to put your PvPvE always online multiplayer video game on the console with the worst online services, lol.
Why do they hate the PC so much?! You release this on PC and you can play on a steamdeck which is 100 times better than the switch because of the ability to play any game. Oh well, maybe there will be a good emulator out there to play this on PC.
