I’m so sick of click bait.

[-] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What's click bait about it? The whole thing is about the words you were presented with. Click bait is tricking you with something other than it said it was going to be

[-] Woodstock@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

Nope.

"content of dubious value or interest". So no. This is not click bait.

I care deeply about the topic and put a lot of effort into this video. If you're not interested, that's not the same

Switch 2 has to get this right. What is this? User has to click to find out. Hence, clickbait.

Not denigrating the work you did on the video or anything like that, just trying to explain why it fits in that category.

Well I can't fit a whole paragraph into a title. "This" is multiple things. It you want to know what "this" is, you'll have to watch it. If you don't care, then simply don't click it

I don't do clickbait so you have fun with that.

You are missing part of that definition the full definition is as follows

something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest

A clickbait does not have to have information that contains dubious value or interest, it just frequently does.

You could make it seem less click baity by removing the question part of the title, have the title be a statement instead of something that forces the reader to have to try to answer the question.

Please note that I'm referring exclusivley to what the title of this post is, the actual video linked seems to have a good title because it's very clear going into it when it's going to be about. The linked videos title is kind of clickbait but I think since it ends with rumors and speculations and it's very clearly showing an opinionated background that is fine.

That being said, I liked the video, thank you for it.

Your grammar is atrocious.

[-] Jaeger86@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Yay more clickbait titles

Geezus fucking hell, 40 minutes. For the answer that is just "do the same thing as the first Switch because that thing prints money despite what everyone predicted".

Haven’t checked the video because the comments say enough. Though perhaps here are three takes;

Make prices decent and not €70 for a 8 years old game.
Decent hardware that allows at least 60FPS.
Have decent joycons (I keep reading that there are issues with it).

Though, doesn’t matter for me. Will never purchase a console or game from that shit company. Rather put on the eyepatch for this company.

For Nintendo, the main purpose is to put a dent in piracy.

You can bet your ass anti-piracy measures will be the biggest upgrades made to the console.

Switch games were being emulated quickly after release and there's a lot of PCs with the same form factor now that are technically beefy enough to emulate stuff. (*looks at SteamDeck)

This breaks the previous emulation cycle and gives them a chance to boost anti-piracy measures since they're clearly not beefing up the Switch 2 to PC hardware standards.

The hardware will defnitely be emulatable on other systems, so they have to dump everything into anti-piracy measures.

I mean they don't have to but this is Nintendo we are talking about here.

Not watching this, but they won't do it right. It'll be disappointing, under-powered, with little to no backwards compatibility, and a shit network with the same generic kind of garbage games Nintendo always releases. Everyone will buy the shit out of it cause they're morons.

Gee the Steamdeck lets people play nearly every game they or their parents played including their 20 year old Steam library. Nintendo could make a handheld console to do the same thing, but they wont. Good luck. When the Switch came out it was something unique, but the rest of the world makes handheld consoles with far more to offer. I think they should take note of how Sony has leveraged Steam and start releasing games on other platforms. Arguably Nintendo's greatest strength is their software and it's their hardware that is its weakness more than ever.
