Quote from NEW0 :
If this is anything like the phone version, you'll probably disconnect more often... also, just on the subject of connectivity... even on my Switch, I found that connectivity seemed better somehow on 5Ghz wifi as opposed to 2.4Ghz. I'd agree that the game probably lost the crowd fad appeal though. I don't know any of my friend groups that still play it

You are disconnection issues have nothing to do with the game. Your router is bad.

Yeah, worth highlighting this because I didn't notice it when buying this for my kid -- and my kid just pointed it out to me:

You need to subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online to play this online. That's an additional $4 MONTHLY cost on top of this $3.50 "deal." (Or $8/3 mos. or $20/12 mos.)

Meh. Not fun anymore since they removed being able to type messages during meetings. Makes the game more difficult and less organic

Just FYI if you want to use free form chat you have to verify your age through their website and it costs a $1 on a credit card. Which they say they donate to charity.

The chat is obnoxious as f and people suck. There's a reason an uproar was made regarding idiots on it.

Eh..I feel like that's the case for every online game. Then you take into account it's massive popularity, especially with kids, and the fact you're supposed to be working cooperatively and it's no surprise the chat and oftentimes the people playing it is terrible.

wait, what? How are you supposed to figure out who the killer is if you can't type during meetings? I've never played on Switch, only on PC back when the game first came out. But the whole point of the game is to identify who the killer is and the fun is trying to figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth. The game is best played on voice comms for this reason.

"This is priced $1.50 off (~87% savings) the retail list price of $5." In what world is 30% off list price 87% savings?

Exactly. I guess their rationale was to prevent profanity, but the fun was sucked out of it when you can't put on a poker face or communicate on what you've seen.
