"I'm getting it on the Switch"

[Hate]

"This is perfect on the Switch"

First of all, by all means, this is not to put people who owns or the Switch or Switch itself in a negative light. I own one myself. I'm just wondering why there are tons of people saying these same exact words on every game once they are announced on the Switch. I don't think I've heard it being said on any other console, handheld or PC for that matter at least this generation. The closest I saw was getting something on the PC version instead or more accurately they're specifically saying it cause the release on PC is getting delayed in while the console versions get released first.

I'm just kinda annoyed by the fact the first pages of a multiplatform announcement thread is full of the quoted words. At first I was doing it as well to celebrate the Switch when it was new but it's gotten to the point that it's all I ever see months later.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Yeah, it's everywhere. It's either "switch version?" Or "this would be perfect on switch" or "in for switch version!!!"

 

[CeroMiedo]

People say what they want,who are you to judge them?What do you get from complaining about these kind of things anyway?

 

[TyraZaurus]

Being able to play a game portably is a big draw.

 

[Sander VF]

I mean, people say they are getting a desired multiplayer on *insert platform* all the time.

 

[badcrumble]

Outside of mobile phones, it's the only living/viable portable platform. I totally get it - some (not all) games are better on the go. I'd say anything that rewards short play sessions or has a playground-y feel to it works nicely on portables. Some franchises also have a history of being sometimes on home consoles and sometimes on portables (Monster Hunter, Valkyria Chronicles) and so it makes sense that some of their built-in fanbase has a strong preference for one or the other.

[disclaimer: I don't own a Switch and certainly don't have firsthand experience with using it primarily as a portable]

 

[HMS_Pinafore]

I hope switch gets a browser soon.

Then I can read this thread on Switch.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

I was taking a look at Valkyria Chronicles 4 comments on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_otGpDTvbM

And this is the PlayStation channel.

 

[Kaeden]

I just assume people are happy to support the Switch and want to show it. Don't see anything wrong with it.

I mean aren't you doing the same to me?

 

[TheMisterManGuy]

I think the portability aspect is what is making people get the Switch versions of multiplatform titles either in addition to, or over the other versions. Being able to take actual console/PC games with them wherever they go is a pretty big deal for a lot of gamers, and any graphical trade-offs done to make it possible are worth it so long as the port is good of course.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

If it bothers you that much put people that say it all the time in those threads on ignore. Simple.

 

[Chasing]

I don't think I've heard it being said on any other console, handheld or PC for that matter at least this generation.

Just look at today's valkyria chronicles thread and you'll see people declaring for every platform (and especially lamenting the lack of a PC announcement.)

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I don't think the complaint is people getting it on Switch, I think it's people needing to tell people they're getting it on Switch rather than talking about the game.

 

[GasProblem]

Wish I could read this on the Switch.



I guess people just really want everything to be playable on a portable console. I get it for RPG's or longer games.

 

[808s & Villainy]

Yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on that. If you don't think you've heard that you must be intentionally ignoring them. Literally in the first page of the Valkyria Chronicles thread, which I'm assuming this is in response to

Haha that's a big fuck you to PC gamers.

Wow, that early? I might get it on PS4 then.

Click to shrink...

I was just having a conversation about this earlier today. The VC4 thread is filled with excited posters, but the only system that keeps on getting name dropped is Switch.

Click to shrink...

Again, nonsense. What's actually happening is that these messages are posted all the time for all consoles, and you normally skim over them without a thought, but you guys are annoyed in particular by Switch owners saying it

 

[kennyamr]

I always get multiplats on my PS4 if possible, I don't know if that helps :p

 

[CeroMiedo]

I mean aren't you doing the same to me?

Click to shrink...

no?I'm just asking you.You want to answer those questions or considering them "doing the same to me" and ignore them,that's your choice

 

[CQC]

When's the Tinder port?

It's perfect for the Switch.

 

[Possum Armada]

It is a new platform that people are excited about from a company with a history of poor third party support.....

 

[Deleted member 2793]

People did the same thing with the Vita.

 

[PepperedHam]

I mean, I dunno, I think Valkyria Chronicles 4 is perfect for the Switch.

That aside I think for a lot of people it's just an exciting piece of hardware that stays that way even after the honeymoon period. I'm not typically a handheld gamer but being able to just slide that sucker out and keep the progress going all over the nation is such an attractive thing. If there's a good Switch version of a game that perk is going to continue to excite people, always.

Edit: As somebody above mentioned, apparently was similar for Vita? "No Vita no sale" was a common phrase

 

[Deleted member 18766]

Games with a lot of grinding/turn based combat + my limited free time + regular travel + wanting to play in bed without having to get a second tv/keep the better half up with giant light source in the middle of the night = Switch is a preferred platform for me

 

[Juste]

I'll read this thread switch.

 

[Dunban]

It's fun to observe. There's always a countersurge of 'in for PS4!' and 'this is perfect on all platforms' too.

The great thing about the Switch isn't buying games for it, it's showing everyone online that I did.

 

[ev0]

Switch web browser when? This thread is perfect for the Switch.

 

[Tagyhag]

Portability aspect or people who only own Nintendo systems enjoying a lot more third party support.

It means deserved indie games get more sales so it's all good.

 

[Sander VF]

I don't think the complaint is people getting it on Switch, I think it's people needing to tell people they're getting it on Switch rather than talking about the game.

Click to shrink...

People have been saying stuff like "in for PS4" since forever?

 

[Vareon]

It's the same when PC starts getting Japanese games on same day. Some people are just happy that platforms that usually don't get these games start getting it.

 

[Deleted member 2945]

Not sure it's first time a preference for system has been voiced.

Magnitudes less harmful than "I'll wait for steam sales"

It's a new platform that offers an interesting trade-off between power & portability that doesn't take place if the person is deciding between PS4 and XBO versions.

It's that simple.

I honestly haven't noticed. Maybe it's only for games I'm not interested in.

 

[Jimrpg]

Just to reassure devs that the Switch isn't going the way of the Wii U.

But you know people say it all the time for PC games too, like - I'd rather get it for the PC.

I'm guessing that, especially on here, there is a lot of eagerness to validate their purchase and to somehow give the idea that the Switch is getting an overwhelming amount of third-party support.

Also, Switch owners are the new generation of port beggars :P

Personally, I'm the opposite. I'm getting for Switch only the games that I can't get for other consoles. If I can play the best version of a game comfortably on my couch, I'm much happier, so now it's:

XBox One X -> PS4 Pro -> Switch. With PC as possible preference depending on modding, port quality and such.

 

[SuperBlank]

There is only one game truly perfect for the Switch.

That game is Animal Crossing.

 

[Owarifin]

I'm gonna get it on the Switch

 

[Man God]

PORTABILITY.

Sure, you have. Go look at every game announcement thread at the last place for the last several years and search for the word "Vita."

 

[maximumzero]

I don't own a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC, so by default if I want to play a video game I'll need it to be on Switch or 3DS.

 

[Deleted member 6730]

Yeah, it's everywhere. It's either "switch version?" Or "this would be perfect on switch" or "in for switch version!!!"

Click to shrink...

It's almost like it's an appealing piece of hardware that people own and want to play games on.

 

[unrealist]

I am replying this on my Switch.

 

[Askherserenity]

There were multiple people saying they were getting it on the Xbox or PS4 too?

People like saying what console they're getting their multi-platform games on.

Also, a lot of people probably just got a Switch recently and are excited it's getting games.

 

[Sim]

It's a newly released and successful console, so we'll be seeing it quite a bit. Though, that same line is absolutely used with regularity for other platforms - there might be a bit of confirmation bias going on if you hadn't seen them at all.

 

[texhnolyze]

I guess the OP just Hate Switch.

As already mentioned in this thread several times, no it's not exclusive to Switch.

 

[Hero_Select]

Which reminds me. I need to print out a Nintendo Switch decal for my PS4. Brb.

 

[Deleted member 11008]

Hybrid systems are serious business. I love portable gaming, but sometimes I think, "Man, I wish I could play my Megami Tensei in a TV and relax a bit, even it's blurry as hell".

Spoiler

I dont' have Switch tho ;_;

 

[Meatwad]

Weird thing to be annoyed about. People are allowed to have their preferences

 

[Nairume]

Portability is a very big draw for some of us. It's not a mystery.

 

[CloseTalker]

People like the console, and enjoy playing games on it. It really isn't a much deeper mystery than that.
