Patcher is at it again

[EzekielRage]

I understand what you are trying to say here, but consider this:

If you need to buy a new TV, do you go to your small, local store ( if there is still any ), or to a big,fat Best-Buy mega-store with hundreds of models on display, even though you only need to buy one ?
Or if you want ice-cream, don't you like to go to those places with dozens of different flavors, instead of your basic chocolate, vanilla strawberry ?

The key word here is variety.
You won't have to buy every frigging game out there, but it's surely nice to have plenty of choices.
Also if you go to a video-games store, by simply looking at the shelf's space dedicated to each system, don't you think that the biggest, most crowded one sends a healthy signal to a potential buyer ?
That's all about it there is.

I understand where you are getting at. And you are partly right. But when i buy a new TV i look for ONE thing, and ONE thing only: Which TV has the best picture for the priceclass I can afford.
I dont care about smart TV, internet and all that other shit. I want a nice, clean picture at a low price. And that's it. As for icecream, I ALWAYS go to my icecream guy of my trust. He has not the biggest set of flavours, but i know that what i get is fantastic - same for pizza btw.

Sure, variety is a good thing but too much variety is just confusing to the point where you're no longer sure what to get. I am in no way defending Nintendo, i have said time and time again that the 350 price point is too steep, that they need 3rd party support and that they should have spaced their games MUCH better, but still, i dont have the need for a gazillion of games - not when i know EXACTLY what I want - a selected list of GOOD games I enjoy playing. Thats why I got a PS3 and a Wii and thats why I got a Wii U - all games i want for the next two years are boundt o be released on those systems - throw in my 3DS for goodmeasure ad I am happy

I couldn't help but laugh at you, what a load of shit that is.

Jack, are you capable of making a post where you don't sound like an idiot?

By all means, go ahead. I'd love to see a list actually

The irony...

My main question is:

HOW MANY GAMES CAN YOU ACTUALLY PLAY?

I don't have time to spend all day playing gazillion games.

Depends. I do not consider I have had to finish a story, 100% it or something similar to have got my fair shake out of a game. By similar token I can afford to be truly dismissive of games if they are doing things that do not please me and that only leaves more free time for more games.

Granted I have not actually played games in some time but that was a model that worked when I did.

not YOU playing more games. I know I couldn't, I am sure your day has 24 hours just like mine and you are probably just as busy with real life as I am - that is if you ever moved out of mommy's basement and GOT a real life of course...

People have tried to sell me on this "getting a life" stuff before and it does not seem like a good gig.

Patcher says something dumb about Nintendo, what a shock.
Seriously can't we just make a Patcher says thread, put all his stupid shit there and call it a day? Making a thread every time the twit opens his month is just feeding into him and only encouraging him.

If I make fun of Nintendo can I get my own dedicated thread?

This is GBATemp, to expect something like that to happen is like expecting IGN to have coherent comments

Oh! Can I join?

We considered it and kind of have it for politicians without a clue on the matter, or indeed any matter that does not push somewhere towards fantasy 1950's America.

The trouble is Mr Pachter is not in the position of spouting unmitigated bollocks at all points in life. Indeed a lot of what he says is probably worth paying attention to if you are involved with or considering investing in game related industries. Certainly there is a reason we have not syndicated a feed of his but I tell you what point me at a broad selection of things he has said and I will show you a good line in logic behind it and/or how history would demonstrate him as being correct in most of those instances and just to save us the hassle Nintendo were a bad investment to make in 2007 ( http://www.wikinvest.com/stock/Nintendo_(NTDOY) ).

I'm sure you've got a thread all to yourself in the hidden moderator's forum.
