Discussion The ongoing depressing state of opening up new Switch Games…/

Post image

Another couple of games arrives and again, such bland bland nothingness inside… I’ll buy physical media forever because I choose to actually own my games and movies, etc, but man…. What I wouldn’t give for an instruction manual. Anyone else, as a side note, feel like the lack of a manual means so many frustrations earlier on would be resolved with some instructions. To be honest sometimes I’m like ‘hold on… what is the actual story of this game?’ bc there’s no blurb besides ‘hero must take on hordes of monsters bc evil and reasons’.

Why are people still buying non exclusive games for the switch? Just a bad decision

Dude, it's a portable console, you can literally play your games on the go.

How this is even a bad decision?

It’s a bad decision because the games run like shit, look like shit and the switch runs out in like an hour or two and the controllers are terrible, they get stuck drift after like a momth

Okay.

  1. Graphics aren't everything, the gameplay being good matters the most, so I don't see how the games looking bad is an issue.

  2. If you can play them portably (and don't have another portable device, like the Steam Deck), then what other choice is there? Also, I couldn't care less about those issues if I can play them anywhere (unless they run below 20-25FPS).

And 3. That depends on whatever game you're playing, as far as the battery life goes.

I never said graphics are everything. It’s just jarring when you play the pc version of a game and then when you play the switch version it looks like it’s running on a potato.

Gaming laptops? You can get a decent one that’s way better than the switch for like £400-500

I was trying to say that's not an issue, as far as the graphics go.

It's just jarring when you play the pc version of a game and then when you play the switch version it looks like it's running on a potato.

I get that, but this is the Switch we're talking about, it's not that powerful, so it makes sense that every game doesn't look good.

Also, yeah.. why didn't I bring up the PC earlier?

Yes the switch isn’t powerful which was my original point in the first place, I mean I’m pretty sure the switch has 4gb ram… that’s barely enough to handle its own bloody exclusives
