Argh. Is everybody ignoring my point on purpose?
"Yeah its all about you. You want it now, and you are ignoring the bigger picture."
It's not just about me. There are plenty of people who want good games for the DS NOW. Not later. You're missing the bigger picture too... you want online, whether it means Nintendo has to shoot themselves in the foot or not. The DS is currently experiencing a drought of good games. You're asking Nintendo to prolong that drought so you get games you will enjoy a little more.
"That is what benefits everyone the most."
You guys need to stop it with this stupid attitude. It doesn't benefit everyone the most if it means the game has to be delayed. What about the people who don't care about online? There's more of those than the people who do, you know. Why should they have to wait just so that you can play the way you want to? You're being just as selfish as you say I am... it's just I'm the only one acknowledging my selfishness.
"I personally think it should be out when it is done. Make it the most complete and memorable experience now, that will only make it even more worth my gaming dollars."
Funny, I share the same philosophy. Here's the difference: adding online does not make it more worth my gaming dollars. Now, you can delude yourself and think that I'm alone here, or you can wise up and realize this issue isn't black and white and your solution doesn't satisfy every person on the planet.
"Adding online adds to the games Replay factor.
How does adding seaguls add to replay ? Im not going to replay the game if theres more seaguls. Its not the same thing"
See... there you go. You've got the same attitude towards birds that I have towards online. To people with a bird fetish, adding birds adds to the game's enjoyability. If you want me to rephrase it in terms of replayability, fine: how about each time you play the game through again, there are more birds? Doesn't that strike you as a thoroughly useless waste of development time? That's what online is to me.
Adding online doesn't add to the games Replay factor for everybody. What about people who don't have broadband? What about people like me who don't care about online? Stop treating your opinions as fact.
"Mario Kart isn't coming out in June. There's no difference between September and November. If it was a delay from may to November, mayb you'd have a point. But as far as we can tell it'll be late summer at the earliest."
Yes there is a big difference. Right now is when people are deciding which portable to buy. If Sony comes out with a killer app in September and Nintendo delayed Mario Kart from September to November to add online, there goes a whole lot of people to Sony's side.
Anyway, I'm out of here. Have fun missing my point and convincing yourself it doesn't exist a little more.
Alright, one more.
"I'm missing where online adds so much time to the dev process."
Hence all the "if"s in my arguments? I'm concerned with the hypothetical situation that online means longer dev time, which makes sense to me. You would think that somebody would by now have comforted me and said it was just hypothetical and making stuff online was a lot easier than I thought it was and the reason Mario Kart is taking so long to come out has nothing to do with Nintendo adding online... but no, it seems people want to give me a heart attack by repeatedly and obstinately attacking my opinion that online isn't enjoyable with theirs that it is.
