I’m not at all defending the price, but am secretly hoping this outcry will make it easier for me to be an early adopter. I still don’t have a PS5 due to how burned I got trying to preorder one.
Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC

Don’t worry. Super fans will still defend it. They’ve been using the “but but but but” strategy lately

I will get it and play MKW but…
Yeah no I can’t justify getting too many games for it. Will probably just have World and MAYBE DK Bananza

You’re going to buy an entire console for just one game?

When I hit 360 hours in BotW, I asked myself, was this worth a dollar an hour? Yes, yes it was. That was almost 8 years ago, and doesn’t take into account time spent playing other games, or the 7+ years of playtime since.

$/h is a shitty metric. Some hours are more enjoyable than others, and also time is a resource we spend, just like money, not something we’re gaining, so it taking time is a negative. Enjoyment/$ is the metric to use, or maybe (enjoyment/h)/$.
$/h is a marketing term. It isn’t a term consumers should bother with.

Yeah… But that’s Zelda and not Mario kart.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yesn’t. Gift from the family since it comes out on my day. Just not looking the horse in the mouth

Why not ask them for something else, unless they really want you to have that device in particular for some reason.

I’m a big fan but I’m not stupid. This is some horseshit.
I have both DLCs and I didn’t expect this garbage. Really bad stuff.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
So then you still get to play them. The only people this affects are new buyers, which… scans internet will be approximately nobody, given the raging hate-boners on display. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But it but the upgrade pack, what will happen to the DLCs when I play on the Switch 2?
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Then you’ll play the DLC with the updated graphics etc. There’s nothing mystical about the upgrade pack - it’s just engine optimizations to let the game run natively on new hardware, probably some revamped textures, etc. The base game has been DLC-aware since the DLC was released. Having the DLC doesn’t change the game code, it just makes the extra content accessible.
