As a Skins fan I have nothing against McVay and think he's certainly competent, but his offense underachieved here. Some of the worst red zone play calling I've seen in a while too.
I think he has potential but think the chances of him succeeding with what the Rams have is basically zero.

The pay for online garbage is Microsoft's fault. Worst thing to happen to consoles in their history.
Paying for online play is the reason I don't have a PS4.
edit: actually scratch that. It's GAMERS fault for buying into that bullshit. Giving these corporations free money for peer to peer services. Ugh.
Poor people ruin everything.
Nintendo: the console for yuppie scum. I mean we saw it coming, they was having rooftop parties in the city
I agree, but at least with Microsoft and Sony there's a robust account system and features, and free recently released games as long as you keep the service. I'd rather have free online but those make it more tolerable. But Nintendo has no current account system, it looks like major features are being tied to a smartphone app, and it looks like you'll only get the game free for a month AND it's going to be at least 20 years old.
Yeah but they keep these companies in business

The paid online is a huge bummer. I can justify it on PS4 because I play a fair amount of online games there but Nintendo consoles... It'll be hard to justify unless they really step up their game.
First month's game will be Combatribes, now I call that stepping UP

Honestly I don't give a shit about the "free" monthly games, I just need good multiplayer games. Maybe Splatoon 2?
Paying for online is so stupid. Thanks, Microsoft.

It's not worth it for me at all because I just don't play consoles enough to waste 50 bucks a year for a feature I may want to use seldom, but cripples most games when it's missing.
Honestly though were it not for Bloodborne I wouldn't even want a PS4.
I think people exaggerate about Nintendo's online presence. Only glaring omission they ever had constantly was voice chat. Everything else worked fine. This smartphone thing though...I get it, you want to offload the battery life, but sometimes convenience is more coveted.

I guess you aren't into Japanese games but PS4 has plenty of exclusives to justify buying one in my opinion, even if you are primarily a PC gamer. That said, it's worth it for Bloodborne alone (the true GOAT).
Being honest the online doesn't bother me that much since I've probably only played online Nintendo for a total of two months in the past 4 years so I probably just won't buy it. But for Mario kart and Splatoon 2 that's fucked.
I'm also assuming they'll have shit to bring at E3. If they have a good showing there it'll make up for this somewhat. If they screw that up I'll start prepping the grave
No but they never do that. We pretty much know it's a customized Nvidia shield tho. It'll be like running games on low settings on your laptop

I thought the presentation was fine? I want most of the games they showed.

For other people sure, not for me. I probably play through 3-4 games a year now, whereas 10 years ago it was 5 times that. PS4 has some interesting games but I know I won't bother.
I bought a Wii U at launch and the only games I bought and played for a considerable amount of time were
NSMB U
Zombi U
Monster Hunter
Super Metroid
There are other games I want to play on it (Like Xenoblade and Tropical Freeze) but I just can't force myself anymore.
That said, if Nintendo announces a new Metroid Prime game I probably will flip the Switch.
LOLno
It was everything I hoped it wouldn't be. Plus launching at the same price as what the PS4 and XB1 are right now is insane
Launch lineup and accessory pricing hurt a ton.
Splatoon 2 on was a great showing. I think it's gonna have a great library. But the launch lineup is anemic and it's expensive. $70 for a pro controller? $110 for a set of joycons and the grip? Paid online? I'll buy it but I don't think the masses will and that's bad for everyone

I bet it's Balloon Fight.
That presentation was whatever and I was tired at the time it aired but I got a GameStop preorder in. I'm probably gonna just sell off my Xbox One to try to mitigate the cost.
How is that 1/2 Switch game not a pack-in though?

Nintendo Switch looks kinda like a disaster in the making...short term anyway.
Might be looking at getting one whenever Mario comes out I guess. That lineup for the rest of the year just doesn't look very exciting and now I'm even more confused about what they've been working on while the Wii U has had a bit of a software drought.

Yeah, I kind of figured the system would be front loaded with launch titles... but it's not. Mario Kart and Splatoon 2 are a little ways off, Mario is way off, no word on Smash, and I'm shocked at how few Wii-U ports there are.
Hopefully the first few months are awful for them and Nintendo gets their heads out of their asses and has a $250 price point with a bundled game by Black Friday
I will say though, I'm watching the Treehouse stream on a second screen at work, and it looks pretty good. Not $60 good but if it were $30 or something I'd get it

I'm personally waiting on Trumps tweet about the Switch to decide if I buy.

I'd say Splatoon 2 but that's assuming online isn't fucked for that on release
The Wii U dropped like $50 through its entire lifecycle. I could see a bundled game but not in addition to a price drop this holiday season. At least with one SKU they won't have to kill off the cheaper one again.

I hope you're not married to this unrealistic expectation.
Any word on the architecture? Does it have WiiU guts?

Yeah I was expecting a port of Smash at the minimum but nope!
Feels like the Wii U all over again with a super slow software drip. They really must be working on 3DS games still or something because the lineup is just blah.
I think they'll be lucky to do better than the Wii U. It should since it's a far more functionable device than the Wii U tablet in terms of portability, power, touch screen capabilities, etc.
Although that 32GB storage is kinda painful in this day and age...another expense to consider since that thing is getting upgraded day 1.
Use the force Brock!
