It's okay when Nintendo does it

>it's okay when Nintendo does it

I have literally never bought an amiibo and I have never felt like I was missing out on any content. Ever

guess how many amiibos i have

Amibos are collectible toys. You spend money and you are left with something. This analogy is incorrect.

Destiny, Battlefront II and Battlefield 1 were all good.
I don't play any TES games though.

Destiny 1 and 2 sold a fourth of a game for 60 dollars.
Elder Scrolls Online is awful so who cares
Everyone knows the problem with BattleFront
Amiibos only ever unlocked cosmetic or useless shit like in Hyrule Warriors.

>Destiny, Battlefront II and Battlefield 1 were all good.
back to neogaf sweetie

one is mrchandise, the other one is stuff that should have been in the game since the beginning and shouldnt be sold as individual content.

You cannot add a plastic toy into a virtual game can you?

with what? space occupying useless plastic that you never touch?

Nice strawman. What makes you think the people that complain about in-game puechases are the ones collecting amiibos?

closest I came was the retarded Splatoon amiibos that unlocked more single player content. iirc it was the only way to play SP maps with different weapons like roller or sniper

thankfully I realized that the entire SP mode in Splatoon was an afterthought, and was really lazy and bad. still dumb to lock shit behind happy meal quality toys though

Oh, you have no idea

DLC is always ok when it's for a game you like. Seriously, almost everyone pays for DLC and justifies it in their own way. Or repurchases games and justifies them that way.

>BUT ITS JUST COLLECTION AND DLC IS SECONDARY
Reminder that there are Nintentards who unironically believe this.

Stay poor and subhuman, niggers

Saw the thumbnail, thought those were figurines and was about to shit on you, but then I realized they were amiibos. Well played, user

The "content" that amiibos give you is a joke. For example, in Mario Kart they can unlock a shitty costume for Mii characters, but no one uses Mii characters. People buy them as collectibles not for the "content."

>Amiibos
>if it was Sony or Microsoft literally everyone would be making fun of it

Try and prove me wrong. You literally can't.
Only Nintendo gets away with releasing baby toys shit.

Sony is doing the same thing and no one gives a shit. Never understood the problem with amiibos and I don't have any problem with totaku either, it's nice that there is affordable figurines of those characters for people who like to collect stuff like that.

Only difference is the sony ones do literally nothing for the games. Also judging by Heihachi's paint job, these are a lot worse.

>let you pay for ingame content
>let you

amiibos are also doing nothing for the games, 99% of the unlocks are cosmetics or cheat-like bonus and you can unlock most of those in game. Make sense to me that Nintendo figurines will be able to interact in some ways with video games, but that's not the point of them

you pay for the amiibo, not the dlc
you pay for the amiibo and get dlc free
in the others you just pay for dlc

My friends and I kicked our roommate out because she started spending money on amiibos instead of paying the bills

My friends and I kicked our roommate out because she started spending money on paying the bills instead of buying amiibos

the analogy has nothing to do with being left with something it clearly says all games that let you pay for in game content which amiibos do in the form of skins and items

>Sony is doing the same thing
they're literally not, fuck off shitposter

Amiibo is cute statue that gives you free DLC relating to that character for several generations of Nintendo products, both console and handheld.

Nintendo is a toy company and always has been. Sony and Microsoft are giant conglomerates. How is this so hard for so many people on this board to grasp?

Remove collector fags.

i wanna black ijustine

>pay for email from ea
>email also incudes free dlc code
man this is nice

They're giving you even less value when buying their figurines

>this shit again

Sony doesn't own this line, they are only licensing their characters.

Nice strawman and nice posting literally from Reddits front page

You get a physical item plus several amiibo work with more than one game.

This is literally nothing like amiibo (physical DLC) but more in line with actual game merchandise which has been around since games were invented. You're literally retarded.

It's really not and I was downright pissed when I had to buy a Ganondorf amiibo to fix my biggest problem with Twilight Princess HD. That 4x damage felt right, though. I hate myself for liking it as much as I did.

how would you know what reddit's front page looks like?

Nobody wants what essentially looks like a turd in their body. Perhaps you should stick to your own species of apes.

this

The reason Nintendo went physical DLC is because their target audience is literally too underage to buy digital products with a credit card.

You're missing out on the "not paying $20 for a McDonald's toy because it comes with some day-1 disk-locked DLC" content.

/Thread

I never bought an amiibo nor do I plan to. I'm getting a switch but that's so I can pirate everything with Xecutor's modchio.

>newlyweds
lmao let Tyrone fuck your asshole wide and James to deal with the brats to raise

>these are a lot worse.
Well for starters, they aren't disk-locked content, so they're automatically better.

>Xecutor's modchio.
What? Is Switch already hacked?

The Spinner in Hyrule Warriors is the only case of that I can think of.

horrible comparison desu

Someone redpill me on iJustine

Remember when Mario Party locked the actual Mario Party game mode behind Amiibos? Oh wait that doesn't count because some Nintendo fanboy doesn't personally care about it or whatever.

Imagine being so weak and pathetic you develop a cuckold fetish. There really is no other option but suicide at that point.

Ooga booga? Can you do English, ape?

Yes. No CFW yet but there's already an exploit and a modchip is in the works,

>there are Nintendies in this thread actually defending paid DLC because it comes with a toy
>quite literally "it's ok when Nintendo does it"
Cringe. And you wonder why this board loathes Nintenredditors.

Dude I gave some guy some cash for a little slip of paper and got a free concert with it

Lego dimension or whatever

Wait Reddit has a front page?! But why.

>in-game virtual goods are the same as physical goods
nintendo is colorful shit catered to manchildren, but your post sucks

Some people like collecting figurines, this type of person would be buying amiibos even if they didn't have in-game content.

>buying statueshit hunter when the figma is coming out soon
Who the fuck is even gonna buy it?

>ESO
It's a B2P MMO, of course they're going to sell cash shop cosmetics since you don't need a sub to play like WoW or FFXIV. Don't lump ESO in with EA and Activision bullshit.

>Muh figuring that do nothing are better than amiibos. I love paying more to get less.
You people are blinded by your console warrior retardation. Amiibos are the exact same fucking thing with a bonus.

>some people like collecting figurines

>locking on-disc content behind toys is a good thing
fuck off

The few Amiibos I have aren't even compatible with any game I have.

This is what deluded fanboyism does to the brain

Amiibos give you a nice figurine on top of the small bonuses they grant in game

While they are barebones for figurines, they at least have better production quality than Funko Pop garbage

...

yeah instead of buying this cheap toy that's a physical and unlocks dlc throughout the game, i'd rather pay them for the locked dlc instead that'll total more than the amiibo

kill yourself idiot

>99% of the unlocks are cosmetics or cheat-like bonus and you can unlock most of those in game.
No, see, you don't understand.

Amiibos do something for the games. Whether or not you consider it something VALUABLE is your own opinion. Sony's figures LITERALLY DO NOT INTERACT WITH GAMES.

>That Heihachi

Bet she didn't buy more than one third of those things, girls like that can literally just post about liking stuff and then get it shipped in masses to their PO boxes

Well with Amibos they're neat little figures and you can use their scan thing or whatever you call it in multiple games.

they're better because you don't have to buy them to unlock on-disc content.

Still better than Nintendo's shit toys

So people who want just a figurine can buy the figurine. Nintendo locks actual game content behind a toy you might not even want but are forced to buy because it's the only way to get that DLC.

Physical DLC is cancer because it inherently falls prey to scalpers who buy up all the stock and then sell it back at a premium. Once it's gone it's gone; virtual DLC can be bought whenever.

yeah you just have to buy the fucking on-disc content that's locked instead. how the fuck do you not get that a $10 toy is not only a physical bonus but also unlocks the scummy dlc on multiple and future games instead of having to buy each one. are you actually just fucking retarded

>all these Amiibo apologists
Holy fucking shit. Imagine being so blindly loyal to a company that you defend PAID ON-DISC DLC.

oh my god, are you actually pretending that a fucking amiibo will unlock ALL of the DLC???
hahahahahahaha

Most of the amiibos related content is unlocked in game AND 99% of amiibos bonus are cheat code tier or minor cosmetics anyway. You can use a single amiibo across multiple games. How was this not the fairest way to do the whole toys-to-life thing?

And? I don't understand how giving people a bonus is worse than giving them nothing. Is this some sort of autistic completionist complaint where you feel robbed if someone else get a palette swap by scanning his figurine?

Actually one of my friends obsessively collected every Smash Bros amiibo and his girlfriend is gorgeous

Epona in BotW

>pay for hard mode
>it's just inflated stats and not a master quest type feature
wew lad

>if you don't want amiibos but want the content you have to buy them anyways
>if you don't want totaku you can ignore them and you won't miss anything from games

>nintenbros want people to think the latter is worse

>multiple = all
yeah i can just flip words around to make myself seem like i won an argument too, but i wont. off yourself idiot

>physical bonus
Not everyone wants a fucking child's toy you autistic idiot. Why should I have to go out to the store and hope they have X amiibo in stock just to get my DLC when every other company allows me to press a button and download it onto my fucking console. Like holy shit lmao

BOTW has an overpriced season pass AND a ton of shit locked behind amiibos
fuck off nintendo fanboy

>the fairest way
Holy shit, there really are people who are loyal to a corporation and will defend their honor online. Holy shit.

>i[roastie]ne

...

the entire point is which one has more value, the one thats a physical bonus with multigame dlc unlock, or the toy that does nothing

why are you moving the goalposts, i know the dlc is shit and overpriced, i fucking pirated botw. get back to the original point or admit you're a retard and fuck off.

>If you want the content you have to pay for it and don't even get an upscale Mcdonalds toy

>soy face

>the entire point is which one has more value
no, the point is which is better for the customer. and totaku is better because it doesn't have on-disc DLC locked behind it

This. Now if youll excuse me i have a fine game of team fortress 2 to get back to after i play morrowind for the 33rd time. Good day to you sirs!

But the Sony toy doesn't have DLC locked behind the toy. It's just a toy for those who like toys. You see it as a toy with a bonus; I see it as a paywall disguised as a toy.

>if you want the Nintendo games content you have to buy a McDonald's toy and also buy the season pass
>this is somehow better
lol
