CastletonSnob Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just saw the news about the cloud save situation with Animal Crossing. I have to ask: Why is Nintendo so bad at online? No other company has the problems with online they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 36 minutes ago, Bacon said: Because others do what Nintendon't Pretty much this. This is Nintendo literally choosing to go this way with Animal Crossing out of fear of people save scumming an almost exclusively single player game. I mean, sure, there are multiplayer aspects, but running around a town with friends and trading items barely counts. Save scumming wouldn't really hurt anybody there. They could have gone with an occasional online sanity check, so test for save scumming, but that would have been more work. From the sounds of it, that's the path they're going in, but the implementation isn't ready yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The guys who sign off on most decisions are probably 50+ years old and never adjusted to the internet age. They have a lot of poorly conceived notions about how the internet should work with their stuff and they don’t give two shits about how anyone else does it. They are the Mr. Magoo of successful companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we get a surprise in the form of it being absolutely riddled with microtransactions and ACbux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means that Nintendo essentially "lucks" into great success despite being willfully, purposefully obtuse about what their customers actually want in a modern online ecosystem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastletonSnob Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I talked about Nintendo being behind on online, but I will say they adapted to HD and DLC relatively quickly. At least compared to online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
