Still kind of wild people are just accepting this… for 2 generations in a row…
Still kind of wild people are just accepting this… for 2 generations in a row…
We've had massive inflation in 10 years if you haven't been paying attention.
I already played it in 2017, so i dont give a shit, if people didnt buy it before thats their problem for being brown
Why should a game depreciate in price? Especially if it's a game that there is still demand for like BOTW
Kill yourself

news article
dumb bait
The holy trifecta.
I am not reading your fucking publication, Cade Onder, be lucky I even opened the thumbnail for long enough to see your name.
Fuck it’s hard for me to believe botw is nearly 10 years old. I’m not a fan of the switch 2 edition price scheme, but I understand their reasoning. I never beat totk, so I might trade in my copy and get the upgraded one. I don’t want the upgrade digitally. Though maybe I’ll just get the expansion pass first and buy the physical later if there’s even a slight discount.
But why doesn't the massive inflation increase the amount of money I get?
We lost the pricing war as soon as we accepted digital games being sold at the same price as physical games.
I'm gonna draw Nintendo on my dick so people line up to drain my fucking nuts
Why should a game depreciate in price?
nobody ever answers this
the real answer is price whiners are commies
Covid inflation was part of a large wealth transfer from the average citizen to the ultra wealthy. There's more money now, but you don't get any of it.
BotW "HD" is free for Switch version owners that have NSO
you shouldn't want to play it anyway, BotW is a turd
you better get this seal directly from miyamoto or kys
It’s Nintendo. They always do this. It’s why they’re never going to return to being king like they were in the 80s.
just like the last of us
Nintendo is curb stomping every other publisher because of two things:
Lower development budgets
Not taking part in valve's race to devalue the price of videogames
/trvthnvke
You get what you vote for. Enjoying the 2021 $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Really got a lot of new national monuments out of that.
People accepted not owning their steam games 20 years ago. You'll be fine paying $10 more for a game.
I think this is perfectly justified, since they're giving you the DLC for free with the upgrade, and that was 20 bucks, right?
Nintendo deserves to charge $80 for their games, they make art and not slop.
tendiefags will defend this
DLC doesnt come with the upgrade. You have to buy it separately.
you'll survive
The same is true of the following;
-Link's Awakening ($30 to $60)
-Skyward Sword HD ($50 to $60)
-Luigi's Mansion 2 ($40 to $60)
-Donkey Kong Returns ($50 to $35 to $60)
-Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze ($50 to $60)
-Paper Mario: TTYD ($50 to $60)
-Kirby's Return to Dreamland ($50 to $60)
-Miitopia ($40 to $50)
-Mario VS Donkey Kong ($30 to $50)
Many such cases.
paying for more for BOTW plus its DLC is insulting. Of course a tendie defends it less than a minute after i call it out
It's an idiot tax.
You can buy Switch 1 BoTW right now for less, buying a new copy of BoTW and the upgrade pack costs less than buying the 'Switch 2 Edition'
Complaining about idiot taxes shows you get affected by them, idiot.
That's uhhhhh, totally inconceivable for the 574th time you made this thread. Next!
and you'll survive me defending it
Which is interesting considering all WiiU ports had their DLC included. Even at $60 again it was usually worth it from that alone
are people really excited to play the same map for the third and fourth time just to sniff out 1900 korok seeds? i got so bored of botw that i didn't even bother buying totk
People are still playing Saints Row 2 to this day.
A good map is a good map.
People still play GTA San Andreas, GTA3, GTA Vice City, GTA4, GTA5, Red Dead Redemption, Oblivion and Skyrim as well just to name a few.
why is it okay for nintendo to price you more money for BOTW and also not have its DLC on there?
an empty map is good
?
Because it was also ok for Valve to sell you games you will never own, and Sony to sell you $80 remasters of 1 year old games.
Nobody buys snoy trash except braindead fanboys, and PC chads don't have to care about valve, since piracy puts power back in the hands of the customer.
BotW is literally the GOAT. People will pay good money for quality.
nobody buys stupid tax games except braindead people tool.
So whats the problem?
But why don't the people revolt and start a French Revolution?
PC chads
*PC vegans
Because im entitled to be convinced not to pirate corporations games.
I don't think most people care. Your game is still compatible, and everyone who wants to play it bought it.
You don't have the money to participate in this hobby by any means other than piracy
playing with childrens toys as an adult is a hobby
Correct.
This is not a Switch 1 port dumbass, this is a visual upgrade directly from the Switch 1 game.
Yeah, I wish the games were cheaper but the good news is I at least get my money's worth with Nintendo game. Already played botw and totk so no need to play them again but if someone pays $70 for their switch 2 edition they'll easily get their money's worth. They can also just by the original switch version for cheaper too and have fun with it
Someone who vehemently hates all non-nintendo games, really doesn't have a leg to stand on in terms of judging what's fun.
Who are you trying to convince?
Is the guy wrong though? Whenever you talk about playing an older game on a console they can't help themselves and always say "bro just emulate". Nobody asked. They also always say to buy a PC like it even economically makes sense. It's a perfect analogy because they constantly want to voice their opinion when nobody cares just like how vegans will randomly walk up to people and scold them. Do you prefer being called a nigger?
Whenever you talk about playing an older game on a console they can't help themselves and always say "bro just emulate".
Meanwhile Nintendo fans will barge into every single thread, be it a snoy or Xbox or PC thread, and flaunt how their games are sooo much better, and how only trannies would prefer non-nintendo games. You guys wouldn't shut up in Palworld threads, you shat up Baldur's Gate threads, you really couldn't shut up in Astro Bot threads. And don't even get me started on how much you guys obsess over famitsu sales and metacritic scores, to the point where you'll bring them up umprompted in any conversation.
Should I call Nintendo fans vegans too?
Is the guy wrong though?
Yes. You are for making the same threads every single day where you spam the same handful of article screencaps and make the exact same replies. Who exactly are you trying to convince here?
What did I do that was wrong?
It's ok when you come into threads and talk about how terraria is so much better so it will be ok when other people do that with other games
Ctrl+f that particular game
your post is the only result
You are for making the same threads every single day
This is literally my first post in the thread.
Doesn't happen. I play on Playstation and have been in plenty of third party threads. Never see this. Meanwhile PC vegans love to infest threads with their "bro play on PC".
retarded OOTsnoy makes another Nintendo seething thread after getting obliterated in the other one
It's ok to dodge accountability for your own actions. Your behavior is honestly impossible to defend so lying was indeed your best course of action. Well done.
I didn't even mention that game ITT. You brought it up. The few times I do bring it up, it's always relevant.
relating to how you should write a story in a video game
relating to how much you should spend on graphics
how moddability can improve a game
how to do an open world game right
Next time don't ask me "name a single open world game that's better" and I won't reply with an answer.
I don't do that
ok I do but you deserve it
I'm also using this as my answer to this:
Nintendo fans will barge into every single thread, be it a snoy or Xbox or PC thread, and flaunt how their games are sooo much better
I haven't ever done this. When I have been caught doing this it you deserved it.
ctrl+f "I don't do that"
your post is the only result
How about you lay off being a liar for 5 seconds? I called you out for bringing up Terraria completely unprompted, and accusing me of doing it when I didn't do it at any point in this thread. If you wanted to be angry at me, then do it in a thread where it actually happens. This is common sense 101. But please, ignore how you call people OOTsnoys at the drop of a hat, like here The rest of your comment is gibberish, not worth consideration.
No thanks. I'll continue holding you accountable for your own actions whether they happened in this thread, 15 years ago, or anywhere inbetween. Reputations kinda suck like that. Well, for dishonest sack of shit trolls like yourself. For honest upstanding people reputations are actually good things. Crazy stuff.
I'm going to continue having a tantrum because you compared Terraria to Zelda, in a completely different thread, and it made me so angry that I'm gonna bring it up here for no discernible reason
Strange flex, but you do you.
For honest upstanding people reputations are actually good things.
Yourself not included, I assume? Unless calling people vegans and OOTsnoys is considered honest and upstanding.
Did they factor inflation? $70 2017 is about $91 in 2025.
Sure.
youd probably do it if you had any games to buy LMAO
Nintendo fans will barge into every single thread
Your Screencaps are from Nintendo threads though, where you spend your life seething about Nintendo all day.
Christ you.were seething about Zelda last night before I went to bed. I have slept 9 hours and you're still here seething about Zelda.
BOTW was $60 in 2017.
muh inflation
I'd agree if and only if wages increased proportionally (they have not)
BotW is worth every penny. I feel jealous of those people getting to play this masterpiece for the first time.
nintendo threads are filled with nothing but sales circlejerking and goldface wojak spam
Grim.
Ihave slept 9 hours and you're still here seething about Zelda.
Wait a second, you said you were playing Expedition 33. Holy shit, can you stop lying for 5 seconds?
And don't bullshit me and say you were sleeping the whole time. You were in this thread earlier shilling your metacritic and spam.
The thread is still up even. Do you have no shame?
I did play for half an hour, and then I went to bed.
I was never in that thread lmao
Get some sleep ACfag, you've been seething for 16 hours straight, in YEAR NINE of your Zelda meltdown.
Nintendo Manchildren literally paid for cardboard at some point, what did you expect?
I was never in that thread
It's cute that you think anyone will buy that lie. Your r*ddit spacing and image spam are your entire reputation, and as this poster kindly pointed out >Reputations kinda suck like that. Well, for dishonest sack of shit trolls like yourself.
Guess he hit the nail on the head.
It's okay when Nintendo does it.
That's fine. PC vegans pay for nothing, own nothing, and are happy. At least I get cardboard.
PC vegans own nothing
Who's gonna break it to him?
Why are you still awake ACfag? Get some sleep. You can seethe about Zelda again on Anon Babble tomorrow.
gets BTFO and proven to be a liar (once again)
deflects
This is why you're such a laughing stock, Arthur.
The real question is why would anyone be buying BotW when TotK exists? TotK is objectively superior and basically includes all of BotW within it.
Clearly not you.
You can't save yourself here ACfag. You got called out for seething about Zelda endlessly.
You were seething for hours in a thread last night. I laughed at you, left to play some new games and then went to bed.
I slept for NINE hours.
You continue to seethe through the night. You even posted other threads you were seething in LMFAOO
And then someone posted another Zelda thread so you chimped out and started seething in this thread to.
Now I'm having breakfast and laughing my ass off at how mentally ill you are.
lmao that is fucking embarrassing. You have to be genuinely mentally disabled to buy nintendo games these days.
I love that Nintendo is releasing BotW again, at a higher price, just to rape Anon Babble even harder.
You have to be genuinely mentally disabled to buy nintendo games these days.
How's that Switch 2 emulator coming along bro?
I slept for NINE hours
And since you're a chronic liar, this means nothing. Please, regale us about how you enjoy Robocop, but will call people snoy trannies if they like it over Tears of the Kingdom. Please, tell me more about how my favorite games are "2d pixel dogshit" while you supposedly claim to love Zelda 1. Enamor us in how game journalists are always right because they love TOTK, but they magically turned into snoys who hate fun because they praised BG3 at the TGAs. Tell us how you enjoy all of the Zelda games, while being the primary perpetrator of calling people "OOTsnoys". Maybe you'd like to recant how you love Elden Ring, but at the same time you call it "snoy tranny shit that isn't fit to lick Zelda's boots".
You've woven so many lies that you can't even keep up with them all. I bet you don't even remember half of them. Thankfully I remember them, so you can't just pretend they didn't happen. You're an embarrassment to this entire image board, and that's saying alot considering the famitsu threads and the console warriors that frequent them.
Any time someone says the words Inflation you can tell how retarded they are. Inflation isn't real you dumb fuck. The dollar you got 5 years ago is still a dollar unless you put it in certain Jewish institutions.
because you're stuck at a dead end job with 0 room for growth
Get some sleep ACfag. Poor Terraria is meeping for attention in a buried tab, in-between all those Zelda threads you're in.
continues to repeat himself because he's out of arguments
Sounds like you need to get some sleep, arthur.
nice meltie
Nintendo is like Apple, the brand is strong enough to support high prices
Sounds like you need to get some sleep, arthur.
I slept for NINE hours while you were seething about Zelda all night in multiple threads.
This site was down for two weeks, and in all that time you never once had a moment of clarity about how you wasted the best years of your life. You probably joined other sites just so you could continue to rant about Zelda all day long.
Heartbreaking to see.
Kind of willd it's only a problem now...
I slept for NINE hours
Why do you lie when there's literal proof showing that you didn't sleep at all?
You can keep denying it, but nobody is falling for it. It's amazing how you're pulling the "those posts aren't mind" card, all because you got caught. Maybe next time you can try not being a dishonest troll. I know it's hard, but come on.
Middle one is mine and not his. Also, what's wrong with any of those posts?
I wasn't in that thread lmao. I was asleep. You're only posting proof that you've been seething in multiple Zelda threads for at least 12 hours straight. Every day. For NINE years.
Member when Nintendo actually tried?
Those systems were flopping on launch. Incentives were necessary to boost sales.
Learn to business.
They'll never be kings like they were in the 80s and 90s because everyone who played nintendo games during that period are now fully grown and have no interest in games for children, unless they are autistic or a tranny.
Is the entire Nintendo fanbase just prone to lying? I don't know if you know this, but the archive kinda shows that you're blatantly wrong.
It's cute that you're trying to take credit for his post, but FFS he didn't even change the filename. And it hasn't been changed since June of last year. I feel like I should keep going, but you keep digging a deeper hole and it's astounding. Maybe I should just accept your concession and leave it at that, before you embarrass yourself even further.
the switch cards aren't more expensive though. and you should be able to get a used copie for penies right now.
How about you take that Doug Bowser's cock out of your mouth?
I played NIntendo and Sega when I was a kid.
I have preordered a Switch 2. Looking forward to playing with my kids. I have NSO, so I've been introducing my kids to the old games I played as a kid. Playing 2-player Streets Of Rage with my son was a blast.
Mario Kart World is going to be a riot in my house.
but you already have the game you won't have to buy it again.
Playing 2-player Streets Of Rage with my son was a blast.
Ewww 2D pixelshit. I thought you had higher standards?
reddit spacing to post generate garbage
*wife's son
Will your wife's boyfriend also "have a blast" playing Mario Kart World at your house?
Wii had no digital store with regular 30% discounts.
Making a separate SKU costs money and you get more money from digital sales. Learn to business.
When dealing with you I was held accountable for every Nintendo fan on earth to only being accountable for just myself and arthur. Honestly that's an upgrade for me, since Arthur is based, and so am I.
Why are Snoys immediately projecting cuckshit?
dude i just like eating absolute garbage
''why dont you just buy your food?''
NO ONE ASKED YOU FAG
You're in a cult.
a cuck who unironically listens to game journalists is "based"
hmm, nah.
Corporations didn't kill gaming.
Scalpers didn't kill gaming.
You fucking stupid retarded cuck shitheads killed gaming by constantly asking for remasters and remakes of remasters, the same game you keep buying over and over, enabling scalpers by buying things at 5x the price, letting manufacturers and all other businesses know that you will pay anything. This is all your doing. It's not "capitalism", it's not "the man", it's not "greedy corporations". It's literally just you. So fuck you and I hope you die of cunt rot, you shitheads. FUCK. YOU.
If you can you journos to determine if a game is bad, I can use journos to determine if a game is good. Let me know if you have any questions.
people that hate what I hate must like what I like
deffective brain at work.
If you can you journos to determine if a game is bad,
Good morning saar. If a game is bad, you don't need game journos to explain why it's bad.
graphics don't matter! performance doesn't matter! what matters is if the game is FUN
proceeds to pay $80 for resolution and performance boost
Zelda has always made masterpieces
if you prefer OOT to modern Zelda, then you're a snoy who hates fun
You are really gonna humiliate yourself all day with this shit?
OOT was great for its time, but when I revisited it, man did it age extremely poorly. I guess some game concepts really couldn't be delivered well in the early 3D era, no matter how creative. I suppose being a kid did a lot more to help bridge that difference than I remember.
If you have a problem with your own logic then change your behavior.
(You)
Nintendo games age terribly and are unplayable garbage after a few years
Wow. Didn't think you'd be so harshly blunt.
It's interesting when you look at the promotional art work for OoT. This the Nintendo selling you a vision of the game you'll be playing.
And then you realize that the artwork is more reflective of BotW than it is of OoT. Just another example of why BotW is pure peak Zelda.
This
Link riding on a horse, instead of flying on a wacky hoverbike that lets you bypass every obstacle in the game
I don't see it.
FFS Arthur. Not only did you samefag exactly one minute after the post above, BUT YOU'RE USING THE SAME IMAGE AS AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE THE FILENAME.
I have my problems with BOTW too, but yeah its still a great game. It'll age better than OOT simply because of the technical shackles being comparatively nonexistent. But there are also things I really disliked, like how formulaic it was, with 4 dungeons, all stylized the same, and shrines being pretty formulaic too. I liked that OOT was less rigid in a sort of "logical" and "symmetric" structure. The bosses were also really disappointing and not at all varied or interesting, nor difficult. Another major negative for me.
Have a (You)
YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE THE FILENAME
That's not me schizo. I was sleeping while you ranted about Zelda all night.
it's not me
the post just so happened to be made EXACTLY one minute after my other post
using the same posting style that I always use
with the same images
and the same filenames

Nintendo fans now think their support is a duty in order to "own" someone no matter how unpleasant it gets. They need to justify supporting shitty practices by being "versus" someone in the process.
it owns the snoys
it owns the deckfags
it owns the poorfags
it owns the journalists
it's fine for Nintendo to do [X] because Sony/Microsoft did [X] to a worse degree
Etc.
it owns the snoys
it owns the deckfags
it owns the poorfags
it owns the journalists
it's fine for Nintendo to do [X] because Sony/Microsoft did [X] to a worse degree
to play with my kids
Only acceptable answer. Better to have them play bingbangwahoo shit instead of tranny snoy titles.
it owns the journalists
Do these guys still think they're oppressed by journalists, when their games regularly get praise by everyone?
I can jive with that. But parents should be reminded that they can reuse Switch 1 Pro Controllers, or even consider shit like 8bitdo's offerings over paying $85 a pop for a Pro Controller 2.
they need to lower their prices because... because they just do, okay!
Yes actually. Twitter switchfags thought there was an orchestrated effort to undermine Nintendo when people were complaining about S2 game pricing (and some even alleged that it was Sony pulling the strings). They're so fucking coddled now that any reception that doesn't go 100% their way must be the result of a nefarious conspiracy to "get" Nintendo in their eyes.
This whole switch 2 price debacle has me thinking about the pricing strategy.
How much of their potential userbase are they willing to lose by raising the price do you think?
Even if they get less sales, the added money they get from their price hike can offset it if they sell enough to cover the cost of their former userbase
It's annoying when they constantly bring up sony games being highly priced, as if everyone blindly worships sony and doesn't also despise them for helping push this ridiculous price gouging.
$85 for a controller that has no hall effect sticks (never mind TMR) or analog triggers is fine because... it just is okay???
Gamers deserve the industry they bought into because gamers long since proved themselves to be idiot junkies always seeking their next fix.
It is a company's god given right to raise their prices because the customer is an idiot. I'm more disappointed in Nintendo and Sony for being so cheap. They should be charging one hundred and twenty dollars a piece for a base game with no DLC. And DLC prices should go up. Gamers are dumb and will buy it anyway. Again these companies have every right to scam you because you drug addicts can't help yourselves. You bought this industry now you have no right to ever complain about it.
I hate to say it, but you're right. Whether it was BOTW fans gladly lapping up DLC that was announced before BOTW even released, or WOW addicts that gurgle whatever Blizzard puts on their plate, or Bethesda fans welcoming the death of free modding to make way for paid mods, I'm sickened by these fandoms. All of them.
They won't lose much. Sure a chunk of those Switch 2 sales will be scalpers but Nintendo fanboys are a special breed of retard, they are the new era Disney Adult. These freaks will buy and ensure their precious greedy evil corporation is healthy. And remember this is without Nintendo showing off a new Splatoon, main Mario, Zelda, or even Smash. So yeah Nintendo is probably going to laugh all the way to the bank for the rest of this decade.
Nintendo knows that gamers are stupid. And this is also why Sony increased the price of their current console despite it not being new anymore, they KNOW gamers are stupid. Repeat one final time Gamers Are Stupid.
*throw peanut*
But it seems like people keep buying Sony's shitty games. Spider Man 2, Ratchet Rift Apart, and God of War Ragnarok are not failures. So we have to guess the customer does not hate Sony. And knowing how things are Sony's new game Intergalactic will probably sell like thirty million units.
as if everyone blindly worships sony
Literally the most worshipped brand based on every study on the subject, yes.
who hasn't got BotW by this point? you're so fucking late that you deserved to be taxed.
Yeah I take no pride in saying that but its the truth. If gamers were more willing to intentionally take a sabbatical and allow companies to starve for any given reason these companies would shape up. Its possible as we've seen with incidents like Nintendo, of all companies, lowering the first price of the Nintendo 3DS. We have a huge library of games we shouldn't be in a rush to get the newest shiniest thing. But sadly most consumers just GOT TO GET THE NEW GAMING DEVICE. It's an addiction.
My hope is that companies REALLY get so vile and greedy that even if the economy is god people refuse to pay. Of course for that to happen things like a video game should cost two hundred dollars a piece to really make a gamer think twice before spending. The situation must get worse before it ever gets better.
About 4/5ths of the Switch 1 ownerbase, dipshit.
GAMERS LOVE SONY
THEY WORSHIP THEM
Look guys, we know snoys love sony. That's a given. But when was the last time any of their games broke even in profit? Have any of their recent games even broken several million copies?
the new game Intergalactic will sell thirty million units
You're giving sony an awful lot of credit.
okay, they were probably never going to play it anyway.
like despite having had my S1 since 2017, I've never played a mario game.
Dude its an exaggeration but I doubt Intergalactic will fail the same way Concord failed. I just don't have any faith in customers having standards. I still hate how much the first Horizon sold for Sony (not the sequel).
Don't know what else to say but Sony didn't report Spider Man 2, Ratchet Rift Apart, and God of War Ragnarok as not even under performers. So it seems Sony is hanging in there doing alright. The new Wolverine game is probably going to sell good as well.
If you own a switch and didn't get zelda by now you won't get it on switch 2.
