Gaming [POLL] Will you still buy Dark Souls for the Nintendo Switch?

[Jackson Ferrell]

The Nintendo Switch version of Dark Souls has been delayed, and there’s a lot of buzz going around that people will just give up and buy the other console versions instead. What do you guys think?

I think this is a quite pointless thread
If 1 or 2 month delay puts you off, then you didn't really want that game in the first place

I already have one for PS4/PS3 but I would buy it just to support the Nintendo Switch.

How about a "Maybe" option in the poll? I may pick it up for Switch, but was really already undecided on getting it for any platform.

This delay isn't exactly a deal breaker like the indefinite release for the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI.

Because there isn’t a specified month, the other platforms are getting it on the original date, and there’s a lot of talking about people cancelling preorders. I want to see how many people are actually cancelling or if they’re just exaggerating.

If you want to play the game outside then go ahead and buy it on the Switch. Don't waste your money supporting the Switch, its already very successful.

I wasn't going to buy it anyways?

I agree. Just saying.

Of course. It's a good game and being able to bring it to other places is a huge deal.
I'm glad I don't care at all about graphics and FPS and just care about having fun.
Bought the game twice already, PC and PS3, will glady get it a third time if that means being able to play it in the bathroom and while traveling.
Specially the bathroom.

Waiting one month more or one month less isn't a dealbreaker, it's not like we don't have absolutely no games at all to play while waiting. I'm really surprised with the people being actually mad for that, there're other things more worthy of being mad about than a simple delay that just assures a quality product.

It was going to be my birthday present to myself, had it come out on time. But now that the release date is vaguely in "Summer 2018, we guess" they lost my sale. Fuck them. Birthday ruined!!!

When given the option to play a smoother running version, i'll go for that version.
So no, the switch version won't be for me

It really depends. If they patch things like Move Set Swap, Tumble Buff, Duke Skip, or Sen's Skip, I will not be getting it.
I love the glitches in Dark Souls because they make it even more fun to play. Is it unfair that I can swap the move-set of the Zweihander with a rapier and stun knock down any enemy or player no exceptions...... maybe, but that's why they need to git gud.

The delay doesn't affect my initial take on this in the slightest.

So people need to git gud because other people like to exploit glitches?
Hmkay

More like other people have to git gud, because if they take my exploits away I will need to git gud again, and that is a PITA.

For one, I was never played Dark Souls when PVP was at it's peak. So I've never played against other people. My argument for these glitches is that they bring something unexpected to the game. If you know anything about the the glitches, Tumble Buff and Moveset swap in particular, then you know that they come at a cost. For the Tumble Buff glitch, it is very hard to pull off because the window to do the glitch is very small. You can increase the window by fat rolling, but that makes you more vulnerable.

As for the move set swap, it comes at a bigger cost. The glitch works by two handing the weapon you are holding in your left hand. Since you are not normally allowed to do this, weird things happen. The first thing that happens is that only your running attack is changed. It is replaced with the running attack of the weapon you are holding in your right hand, thus the name, "Moveset swap." Everything else stays the same. The second thing that happens is that you loose your ability to back stab or riposte. In PVP, this is a major disadvantage.
