Topic: Fire Emblem Warriors

@Beedrill4Smash
Uh, it's in the game somewhere. Check around the status page of character menu in Convoy.

Hey, does this game only run in 30FPS in portable mode? Because what I can tell, the 60FPS mode seems to only be in TV mode, which is disappointing.

I remember when there were reports of Breath of the Wild running better in portable mode, my friend acted like it was obvious that games would run better in portable mode than in TV mode. But now I'm wondering if he was mistaken. Not sure.

@OdnetninAges There's no 30fps mode in handheld, only 720p/60fps.

Of course launching just a week before Mario probably isnt going to help matters. @_@

I think it's an intentional tactic- the Piggyback Tactic. And you see a lot of different developers using it.

Instead of putting one game out there, like DOOM, they release DOOM and Skyrim back to back. Individually the game might be over looked but together it creates a very hype release period, where each game piggybacks off the hype of the other. And in the end both games benefit.

I think they released FE Warriors behind Odyssey to amplify the attention it gets. Because people aren't just talking about odyssey they're talking about the back to back releases of Warriors and Odyssey. And it creates amplified hype for that release period.

@Angelic_Lapras_King It released earlier in Japan so they will have had a decent amount of time with it before Odyssey.

Even if the game gets overshadowed by Odyssey next week they can get the attention back when the first DLC pack arrives in December.

@Grumblevolcano

That can't be correct. I have not once seen the game run at 60FPS in handheld mode. It will only run at 60FPS if it is on the TV.

It only does 30 in handheld mode but honestly, who cares...

I played for like an hour and though wow, this game looks so buttery smooth- I'm glad they put in this performance mode. Let me check out the 1080p/30fps mode and see how it looks...

Lo and behold, I come to find out I was playing 1080p/30fps the entire time. That was a huge wake up call for me- I realized 30 FPS is perfectly fine as long as it's consistent. Well, this and MHXX which is also silky smooth at 30fps.

I've seen enough evidence to form a lasting opinion on the matter now. I never really paid attention before because it's never been an issue. But lately everybody's been making it into such an ordeal I thought there might be something to it. Turns out there's not

@JaxonH Agreed 100% 30 FPS isn't bad at all if it is consistent. While yeah 60 FPS is preferred it isn't something that will make me not consider a game if it doesn't have it. I think 60 FPS has become overvalued. I think developers should look at their game, and if they can't get a consistent 60 FPS within a reasonable amount of development time then they shouldn't even bother. Just make the 30 FPS as smooth as you possibly can.

...Well obviously I do, because I was asking about it. I personally prefer playing on TV so I can play at 60FPS.

30FPS is fine. If the game only ran at 30FPS as an option I wouldn't even think about it. (I was perfectly fine with Breath of the Wild.) But because the option is there, I'll gladly play at 60FPS.

I think it looks and plays great in handheld mode as well. It's always great having people at work come up and look in amazement at how great the Switch plays games.

@OdnetninAges
I was like you, once. I was hardcore "gimmemy60fpsorlolz." PC gamer, maxed out rig, all that. Well... I still have the maxed-out rig, heh.

But even after all these years, I still find it very hard to tell when an action game is running at 30fps or 60fps, and this is on my monitor only a couple feet from my face. I'll be playing WoW or Overwatch and thinking, "man - this looks choppy," only to check and see my fps counter running a smooth 60 or higher. OR I'll think the opposite: "dang, this looks smooth," but oh snap! It's actually only running at 30fps.

Pretty sure what I said was "30FPS is fine. If the game only ran at 30FPS as an option I wouldn't even think about it. (I was perfectly fine with Breath of the Wild.) But because the option is there, I'll gladly play at 60FPS."

There has not been a single time where I complained that a game only ran at 30FPS... I didn't even consider it for Breath of the Wild.

Also, I don't have a gaming PC.

Picked this up at the weekend and been playing it ever since. Two hour daily commute means plenty of switch gaming. Had quite a few people on a packed London bound train peering over to see me slashing through hoards of cannon fodder. Runs great in portable and docked mode, smooth, haven't seen any slowdown as of yet. Love the voice acting and the storyline, and so many customisation options.
Definitely a worthwhile purchase

Just like Fire Emblem, I love all my characters and insist on leveling them up equally. Might have to replay a few stages as I get more characters to ensure I have enough money to train their levels up

Money is money, you can simply buy exp.

Yes, I sold off just a few of my bronze weapons and banked like 40,000 off it.

I haven't gone out of my way to grind anything. I make enough money and mats to upgrade (just unlocked LUMA skill for Chrom) and pay for level ups. I'm just thinking once I have like 20 characters I may have to replay some levels to ensure they all upgrade together.

It's just cause I like all the characters and want them all maxed out.

It was a lot better balanced in Legends, so I assume the balancing continued/improved with these new games.

@DarthNocturnal the grinding has been made even easier thanks to supports as they will give the character specific items like Chrom's pauldron. Although I think there are some gold items from villain characters but those will be easy to get when the characters are eventually get released as DLC.

I just died... I never die.

Poor Cordelia. She didn't even last 3 minutes. I would have healed, but I'm so used to steamrolling everyone I didn't realize I was losing health
