Type in the comment field, retard.

its always okay when nintendo and valve does it

>>712614385 (OP)
Zelda is not a movie game.

>>712614385 (OP)
Considering it's selling the upgrade to Switch 2 as a DLC for 10 bucks if you already have it and not as a fully priced "remaster"?

Yes that's very much OK.

It's ok when nintendo charges 90 dollars for the 15th iteration of Mario Kart with a budget of 20 million and no data on the card but it's not when Sony charges 70 for a game with the budget of 300 mil and comes with data on the disc

>>712614507
>already got game
>paying 10bucks for increased resolution is very much OK
ugh, you´re fine with paying for patches you retarded mouthbreather.
in fact, a patch for 8 and 2 year old game.
>inb4 im not poor
its about standards which you clearly lack

>>712614427
No

I agree, Nintendo did good with this and PlayStation are a bunch of hacks

>>712614385 (OP)
Nintendo can get away with anything, huh?

New snoytranny cope just dropped

I can't fucking believe I'm defending the games that killed Zelda forever but at least they have SOME INTERESTING GAMEPLAY unlike TLOU1+2 which is just WAOOOWWW the guy I just shot's brains really spill onto the wall behind him! this girl is so PRECIOUS and I LOVE seeing her grow up under these harsh conditions!!!

Snoy looped back to 2015 for some reason

Not even the same thing + the biggest issue with the top part of the image is that TOTK is basically BOTW DLC sold at full price

>>712614385 (OP)

>>712615296
The irony is, BOTW and TLOU are both watershed moments that redefined the company's entire catalog and mindset.
BOTW turned nintendo into open-world sandbox slop
TLOU was a decade long fart-sniffing moment for snoys that forced them to template all their franchises around it
Both of you retards are just opposite sides of the same coin

>>712614640
Sony doesn't charge anything for games, just their home entertainment systems.

>>712614385 (OP)
BOTW
>Cross-gen game
>Switch version + upgrade pack bundle (People that already own the switch 1 game don't need to buy this bundle)
TLOU1
>Original ps3 game
>Remastered (no upgrade for ps3 owners)
>Remake (no upgrade for remastered owners)

>>712615803
Oh yeah? Why don't Wii U owners get access to the Switch 2 upgrade? It's the same game. Checkmate, tendie.

>>712615621
>>712615669
BotW and TLoU will still be considered amongst the best video games ever made long after you are dead you ridiculous clown baby.

>>712616050
Neil fucked up TLOU2
TOTK is irrelevant and barely talked about, also nintendo are over-milking open-world in general, which will be looked back on as fondly as wii-u

>BOTW turned nintendo into open-world sandbox slop
Nah, what they had like, one? other open world game after BoTW? And it wasn't even their first open world game to begin with.
After tlou almost all of Sony's output became hyper linear cinematic games.

>>712614640
Nintendo raising the price of games is unironically a good thing. The reason we have so much DLC and microtransactions and shit is because game prices have not kept up with inflation so companies have to make up the difference. Nintendo raising the price is them swallowing their pride and taking a step forward to steer the industry in the right direction by having everything in a slightly more expensive box price rather than having deluxe editions with tons of DLC. It's back to the old days.

>>712619125
Yes goy, that is right. We will naturally stop selling your battle passes and season passes if you pay more for the base game. Who would even think of just raising the price of those as well with the same inflation argument?

>>712619272
Nintendo doesn't

Switch and Wii U versions released at the same time. Not a real comparison

>>712619125
>The reason we have so much DLC and microtransactions and shit is because game prices have not kept up with inflation so companies have to make up the difference.
Nah, the reason we have so much dlc is because developers either want to add to the game after the fact OR just jew you.

>>712614385 (OP)
Let's look at this properly
>botw: simultaneous release
>totk: only version
>switch 2 "versions": $10 dlc with new features

And with tlou
>tlou: only version
>remaster: full priced rerelease one year later
>2: only version
>part 1: full priced remake of first game with less content
>2 remasteted: $10 dlc
>part 1/2 pack: $120 for both

>>712614385 (OP)
TLOUS2 might be a shitty game, but at least it is and actual sequel and not &70 DLC.

>>712614385 (OP)
Kek

>>712614385 (OP)
BOTW got released 3 times? Jesus.

>>712619125
>Nintendo raising the price of games is unironically a good thing
The absolute state of /v/

>PS5
900$ (800$ console + 100$ online) for 480p 35 fps and zero games
>Xbox
850$ (730$ console + 120$ for online) for 360p 25 fps and zero games
>Steam Deck
PC but with 50% performance for 90% price
>Switch 2
470$ (450$ console + 20$ online) for 4k 60 fps for shitload of kino games

If EA, Activision, Sega, whoever, kept selling decade-old games for the same price they did when they were released, People would hate them even more than they already do. But when Nintendo does it...

>>712619125
Yeah, one thing I've always loved about massive corporations is their ability to say 'you know what, we've made enough profits this year, time to give back to the customers!

I hope you choke on the boots you're licking here, because there is no reality in which companies raise the prices of their games AND deliver more content that would otherwise be DLC.

>>712616151
>TLOU2
it's on netflix though, it's kinda kojimbro levels of meme to put your game on netflix series

>>712620003
my swatch 2 costed 619€, and I saw PS5 Pro for 789€

>>712614385 (OP)
they should have made a new game instead of just doing botw again with totk. That's a more egregious problem than putting an old game on a new platform. No-one is forcing you to buy a game you already played again after all. But making the same game again and pretending it's a new one is pretty annoying.

>>712620034
>If EA, Activision, Sega, whoever, kept selling decade-old games for the same price they did when they were released
They do, no one bats an eye.

>>712620131
It's cool but in first world countries the price is $450

>>712620180
>they should have made a new game instead of just doing botw again with totk

Sony removed the online from TLOU, TLOU 2 didn't even get online. Nintendo added features to theirs. Is this the retard? Because it doesn't make any sense.

Bait or not, fuck you

>>712614385 (OP)
Breath of the Wild is a crossgen game that released on the Wii U and Switch at the same time, perform almost the same except Switch is a bit higher resolution
So the Zelda games are 2 full priced games with $10 upgrade each
Last of us is 2 games made into 4 full priced games and 1 $10 upgrade

I hate the direction of nu-Zelda, and I think Tears of the Kingdom was the biggest disappointment and $70 is a scam for a game that just copy pasted botw and added another barebones story and more sandbox mechanics. But your comparison doesn't work here.

>>712614640
>actually $80, not $90, and only $50 if you get the bundle
>physical does contain the full game and is not a keycard
I took your ragebait

>>712621437
As shitty as TLOU1 and TLOU2 are, they're literally two different games

On the other hand BOTW and TOTK are literally the same game, glorified DLC sold for MORE than full price 7 years later, it's incredibly lazy, shitty, and greedy

>>712616003
They were dumb enough to get the Wii U version so they deserve it. If you were a big enough nintendofag to buy the Wii U, you should have bought a Switch at launch too.

>>712621357
It's ok when Nintendo does it

>>712614385 (OP)
The lesson is to not buy shit from anyone unless they are an indie dev.

>>712616151
Nobody is going to remember OoT as the best Zelda once your generation has died off. Just because you were at the impressionable age when you played it doesn't make it a perfect game

>>712614640
>90 euro
Waar de neuk ben jij aan het kijken?

>>712620180
You're speaking of an ideal world, but Nintendo milking the botw template for another 20+ million sales was a no-brainer to them. I do genuinely believe the Zelda team was not passionate about making Tears of the Kingdom, and it was the business side of Nintendo that demanded they recycle botw to make another game out of it because it would be way more profitable. But the really bizarre part is why it took 6 years, longer than any 3D game, when it was the most lazy entry imaginable. And no covid is a bullshit excuse, that set them back 6 months to a year at most.

>>712620079
hbo nigga. and everyone stopped watching after joel got turned into a club sandwich. i wonder how neil will cope seeing two completely different audiences shit on his pretentious garbage story

>>712621964

>>712621984
the long development cycles are really problematic. I'm concerned there won't be another zelda game for another 6 years or more now, if even totk took 6 years depsite being essentially just botw again. How strange it will be for the Switch 2 to not have a zelda game for so many years post-release.

Nintendo really need to do something about how long games are taking to make.

>>712621839
An actually correct and based take? On /v/? Maybe there is hope for man.

>>712620480
I hope the online expansion doesn't discourage them from bothering with the remasters, Twilight Princess will undoubtedly be on the GC game library at some point. But Nintendo does not get enough criticism for not just letting you buy old games anymore, it's ridiculous how we had this shit since the Wii, but now we have to pay $60 a year just to rent games. Forget the fucking $80 Mario Kart shit, that's $10 more than the current industry standard. The NSO expansion is way worse. I hope they know I would have been happy to buy reasonably priced old games, but with $60 a year just to play N64 games I'd rather emulate them.

>>712621984
I actually do believe COVID was the reason, but only because Nintendo got shit-scared of leaks and actively refused to do remote work for big projects. Adding to that that COVID "officially" ended in mid-2022, TotK's dev time started to make some sense to me.
In a world where the Chinese didn't eat bat soup, you'd have been playing ToTK in mid-2021 at the latest.

>>712621592
I've never played Last of Us but I have seen that they haven't just copy pasted the first game and added random shit to the world. What I was getting at was just that the re-releases were way more excessive and not comparable in technical terms, but Zelda is just as guilty in other ways, if not more.
That's not even taking into account the Hyrule Warriors game. Which does play drastically differently and is made from scratch mechanically, but it's still set in the same era and presumably uses much of the same assets. And now we're getting another Hyrule Warriors for Tears of the Kingdom.

>>712614385 (OP)
Does Microsoft have an equivalent here?

>>712622942
Probably skyrim if you count that as microsoft

>>712622208
The only cope we have is that they started development on a Switch 2 Zelda game concurrently with the development of Tears of the Kingdom, or they at least started pre-production on it so they know what kind of Zelda game they're going to develop. Nintendo knows Zelda is important to push console sales so they'd hopefully plan it out so that Zelda releases at least in the middle of the Switch 2's life.

We now know Mario Kart World shifted to Switch 2 in 2020, so Switch 2 games could have started development as long as 5 years ago.

>>712614385 (OP)
Expect BOTW for the Switch 3 too.

>>712622372
It's hard to say because as far as I remember other games in development didn't seem to take longer than usual to release due to covid. The lockdowns took place for only a fraction of the time of covid, so a few weeks to a couple months at most, and even then employees were working from home, even if that did slow development.

>>712623395
“Aonuma: There are no plans to release additional content this time, but that’s because I feel like we’ve done everything we can to create fun in that world…

“In the first place, the reason I decided to make this a sequel to the previous work was because I thought there was value in experiencing a new game in that Hyrule place [sic]… If that’s the case, if a new reason arises, we might return to the same world again. Whether it’s a sequel or a new work, I think it’s going to be a completely new game, so I hope you’re looking forward to it.”

Probably not but the fact that it's even a possibility to Aonuma is concerning. I can't even say for sure there would be a lot of backlash, because people still slurp up Tears of the Kingdom's cock despite how much of a rehash it is. Having tens of millions of new Zelda players was the worst thing to happen to the series.
