Nintendo should clarify whether it's just a prompt to buy a Nintendo Online account or it's for DLC soon, because with how they're handling Pocket Camp, people are gonna be making a ton of assumptions that poo poo like loot boxes or micro transactions are going to be added

It's cool to feel that way, but that just means it's exactly the kind of system that they could weasel in. Enough people will be like "lol I wouldn't buy that anyway, who cares" but at that point the game has already been designed around subtly making such a proposition have value to enough players to make money off of it.

It's not really possible to tell whether a game is grindy because they intend for you to want to utilize microtransactions to skip it or if it's just grindy because sometimes games are like that.

It's possible and self-evident by the presence of them. We can't tell for this game yet, because of inadequate information available for a product they intend to sell us, but it's not like they'd suddenly include into the game a grinding system and mtx to circumvent it by accident.

From what we've seen so far, it looks like most stuff at least early on is crafted from things around the environment, which I'm guessing there'll be a limited amount of to collect at one time and probably respawn each day. So, same as usual really, just on a broader level. We'll have to see how things go in the way of quality of life improvements and depth. I have to say, the convenience of the Switch might be a big part of the appeal compared to how long it could take to get going on the 3DS, which it kinda obviously chugged and drained battery life on.

What? I guess it's been so long I don't remember 3DS AC chugging and draining. I do remember that the one time I took the Switch somewhere I found out it had like a 2 hour battery life, so I'm not seeing how the less portable console will somehow beat out the actual portable console?

None of that sped up any of the gameplay or skipped any time gated stuff and were all entirely optional "here's a neat thing you can have if you get this accessory but it's not going to make the 'game' any better or worse so who gives a poo poo" purchases. The mobile game being full of mtx bullshit is literally because it's a free to play mobile game, that's what they exist for and their sole purpose is to annoy and tempt you into opening your wallet so should have absolutely no bearing on what you expect from the console title. As someone else pointed out, Pokemon and Fire Emblem's latest console entries are completely devoid of any of the mtx bullshit plaguing their mobile games and there's absolutely no reason to think we're suddenly getting loot boxes and energy meters in AC. You may as well be losing your mind that having amiibos means people could get a few extra random fish and arrows (and some exclusive armour items!) in BOTW every 24 hours. I don't remember anyone giving a single solitary poo poo about that, and this feels exactly the same. You can also have a couple of extra racing suits in Mario Kart, holy poo poo Nintendo you loving monsters!!! It's like you're basically all more interested in being able to go I FUCKIN TOLD YOU SO LOOK AT THOSE NICKEL AND DIMING PRICKS on the incredibly minor chance Nintendo decide that this is the perfect time to burn all of their earned goodwill and at the same time take a popular franchise out back to put a bullet in its head than thinking about this rationally. Call me when they start selling $1000

History Comes Inside! posted:In optimism land, if they talked about buying DLC in-game later instead they'd have to get the game re-rated and jump through hoops for existing copies to reflect the fact the original ESRB boxout would be incorrect, so now is probably exactly the right time to make sure it's mentioned. Animal Crossing is 1000% rip for a horrible micro-transaction cash shop though. The fact that it's about collecting things is why. Very concerned about this ESRB warning right now. My hope is that it's just item packs and they are reasonably priced, but that pretty much everything will be available in game with bells.

You'd think the fact that Pokemon had the same kind of warning for proper DLC expansions would put some people at ease, but I guess the magnitude of the terror is making it stick in some peoples heads. I get that it's scary, but we literally haven't learned anything new. There is no indication of microtransactions. It's still possible (if Nindendo have completely lost their minds), but it was always possible. It's not especially likely though. Animal Crossing has always been a very comfortable, well curated experience. The game captures the slow passage of the seasons and a real time feeling of things changing, making slow progress to get the satisfaction of paying off your house. That's what Animal Crossing is- taking your time and working on things at your own pace, anticipating distant rewards. Pocket Camp uses the Animal Crossing skin for a fundamentally different type of game. You can see all there is to see in a couple days if you pour money into it. It doesn't care about any of those kinds of gentle long term feelings, instead having surprising exciting gacha events to keep you excited with unexpected novelty. You can't just take some of the gameplay mechanics of one game and just kind of put them in the other. If Nintendo is trying to create that low key, long term vibe that they've proven to be so good at with Animal Crossing, then microtransactions to speed things along would just be paying to ruin the experience. There's no reason they would do that- they wouldn't create that pleasant vibe in the first place if they were planning to let you bypass it. They might release like, a Sanrio pack of special furniture you can buy with real money or some poo poo, but they are not going to turn this game into Pocket Camp. They wouldn't be making this game at all if they wanted to just keep on doing Pocket Camp style exploitation. In short, if Nintendo understand Animal Crossing at all (and by all indications they do, having invented it and all), this game will not have any of the gameplay microtransactions that Pocket Camp had.

DLC item packs = totally cool with this. Cash shop with $99 currency packs and lootboxes, which more and more AAA games are adding = not buying. Nothing wrong with in-game purchases as an idea, it's how they are handled is the problem. Really need Nintendo to clarify all of this before release.
