Hardware Online $17.50 -$26.50 allegedly

[Saiyan Lusitano]

$17 per year for rental monthly games and online play? Still pass.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Called it. Fully expected such cheap pricing. Hopefully this will shut up the whiners.

 

[Armadillo]

Yay I guess.

Cheaper than the competition, but still getting bent over for p2p play.

Yeah, for people that like to voice chat with strangers that sucks. For me, its a god-send. I'm aware you can silence people you don't know on other systems, but that's often a hassle. I think I stopped using voice chat with strangers over 5 years ago, when most of them settled into insulting your mother, and then you have the little kids screaming in your ear. It'd be nice to have the option for those that want it, but voice chat with strangers hasn't been for me for a long time.

It's still bullshit. How can you even play competitive and you're paying monthly and you can't even talk to strangers ? How the fuck are you going to meet people online when most people i game with once were complete strangers. Censoring for the 3th generation in a row !
Nintendo thinks everybody is a little kid that needs to be censored at all times !

Don't like online? Don't get the Switch.

You can friend anyone you team up with though, I do it all the time in Pokemon. Its pretty much no different than being able to chat with everyone and then one by one muting those you don't want to listen to, but just the other way around, only adding people that you want to talk to.

Whiners? The "free" games are only rentals for a month and out of the sudden Nintendo's going to be charging to play online so you can't say people don't have valid reasons to criticise Nintendo on this matter. Then there's the other issue if the voice-chat will be done through a smartphone or via the Switch itself.

Nintendo fanboys don't like when Ninty's criticised. lol

 

[BlueFox gui]

Huh, actually that's not too bad.

WHAT?? NOT TOO BAD??? XD
convert that money to the coin of my country, i was wasting money to buy 1 or 2 games XD

What?

More then 90 percent of the community doesn't do it that way. And if you're going to pay monthly each month and you're not even getting some options is a scam. You should have the freedom to talk to complete strangers instead of censoring everybody treating everyone as little kids

 

[BlueFox gui]

seriously, this online service will totally end with the switch

It won't but it will suck by the looks of it. Cheap or expensive, it's still not satisfying.

HOW???
it's too much expansive for some online service

Well if they're going to play the Switch they'll have to do it that way or not voice chat with strangers. Like I said this issue is lost on me, sorry it disappoints people like you. I'm actually a fan of this method.

You're not making sense now. You said "Don't like online? Don't get the Switch." Which is entirely different.

I know, it's crap. I won't be paying to play online.

Then they should have implemented a parental control function that disabled voice chatting to strangers. But they should atleast have kept the option open for people that do want that wich is the majority of the gaming audience.

I'm sure that would please people like you. Again, its an issue that I just don't care about, so complaining about it to me is probably a waste of your time.

Even if they had everything that Sony and Xbox has for pay online, it is still rip off. Sony's and Xbox's even more so, of course.

 

[Armadillo]

It won't.

This line of thinking went on with all the consoles. Paid online won't go over well, user won't pay etc.

When it actually came down to it, making a stand or paying up, people couldn't drop their pants fast enough.
