so now that i'm not f'd up and liable to spew crap out of my big mouth that'd get me in trouble, i figure why not say what i think. i feel as if this thread is a bit too negative, even though it's not entirely unwarranted.
the switch's online is underwhelming, but as i don't play many games online, it's at least tolerable, i guess. the nes games are a nice touch especially considering that a subscription to the service they're on only costs twice as much as netflix does per month for a full year. that said, it's not like i don't have a lot of these games in other formats already, but i do appreciate they're adding games slowly. not quickly enough, but what are you going to do, i suppose. what'd be great is if they added more game systems to the rotation, so i could finally play paper mario on a portable system. anyways.
i haven't bothered with the voice chat app for the service because i'm gonna be honest. voice chat in online games is cancer. if i really wanted to listen to people spew vile nonsense or be berated by tryhards who blame everyone but themselves for their team not winning a non-ranked match, i could buy a headset for my xbone and play halo. to be fair, it could come in handy for talking with my friends on online games, but if it's like guinea says, then that's a big load of horse manure. granted, i feel as if guinea is being excessively negative about the whole thing, but even so i know he's got to be onto something in the absence of myself having tried the blasted app
it's a good thing nintendo decided to make this cost $20 a year, because if it had been as much as the online services for xbox and playstation, i wouldn't be telling you about how i purchased the online right out of the gate. it's definitely inferior to those services in the state that it's in, but let's be honest with ourselves. nintendo is always behind the curve on stuff like online, even if they're on point on other things. granted, i'm not a big fan of xbox live or playstation plus as it stands, even though i appreciate the freebies that come with those services. anyhow i'm willing to play the waiting game on this one and see if they add more stuff that makes it feel like a better deal, but who knows if i won't end up eating my words for thinking that it could end up being more worthwhile down the line.
