>I'm not paying $60 a year to Nintendo JUST to play pokémon online!

I know this is /vp/, but you can't be telling me you guys are actually considering dropping three fucking hundred on a system exclusively to play an RPG that isn't even that amazing.

How much money have you fuckers wasted already dropping money on expensive hardware just for pokémon?

and no, not defending Ninty for charging people for online, because that is pretty shitty. But no way am I buying the Switch just for pokes, nuh uh

The thread is based on fags whining about theoretical shit that isn't even confirmed or anything, so kind of, yeah.

But the Switch is $299.99, so that's at least confirmed.

I'm not getting it just for Pokémon. I want Zelda and Mario. Might get the fire emblem warriors shit. The inevitable Smash and Mario Kart. That's enough to make it worth it for me. I'm sure there will be a few more things.

Yes. People have shit connections and the game's netcode isn't very good. That has nothing to do with the online service as all it did was connect you with other players and this part was almost always very quick. Everything after that point is peer to peer.

Netcode would have been improved either way.
Paying a subscription isn't going to fix shit if the other players have shitty connections which is highly likely with no ethernet port on the Switch.

I've been having conversations with people all night about the Switch and was pleasantly surprised at how few people were defending paid online. People were sometimes excited for the Switch despite paid online but just about nobody was defending it.

Of course /vp/ would be the place that ruins my good mood.

I know you're just quoting them and aren't saying this for yourself but that baffles me. We know nothing about the quality of Switch online, it could very well be identical to Wii U online besides the paywall.

>>31363892
Same. That, and no PS3 compatibility (my PS3 shit itself a couple years ago and I probably would've gotten a PS4 to replace it if it was compatible).

Fuck it, for having paid online, the PSN and Xbox stores are just as shitty and convoulted as what the 3DS and Wii U have except without nice music to listen to.

It's entirely on a game to game basis and dependent on whether or not they have dedicated servers for them. I could see Pokemon continuing to be peer to peer for example, but maybe Splatoon and Mario Kart using such servers. This is if Nintendo decides not be complete cheapskates about it.
I think best case scenario is that some games such as Pokemon will function with online capability without having to pay.

Btw 300 + 60 for a mediocre console is objectively too much. For the same price I can get any better

Truly hate this mentality. It's what people use to justify not wanting to pay for something
It's a gaming system that has games you want to play and will most certainly enjoy and pt long hours into

Regardless of you thinking it's overpriced, you're not wasting anything unless your standard of living is so low that it wold take you a month just to afford it, and I believe that's an entirely different issue

It is wasting. My money could be better spent on many other things, including other luxuries, even other video games. I put at least five hundred hours into my Wii U and still feel I shouldn't've gotten it despite the fun I had with it since its support all but disappeared around 2015.

Spla2n is highly appealing to me but it's not worth the high price of the system and it's definitely not worth fucking paid online. I'd refuse paid online by principle even if it was just $5 per year.
