I only have it installed on Shadow PC. I run my games at 600p and Medium so I have no problems with Streaming. I guess If I had any hick-ups probably blamed the connection.
But yeah, that sounds awful. Maybe the engine is the real issue.
I have an issue with Digital only trend not because I like physical. But because I need to Trade, Sell-back or Rent some of my Day 1 $60 games (well now $70 🤦♂️)
I rented Miles Morales, SackBoy and now Age of Calamity. That is money I saved to Pre-order CyberPunk (on PC because $42 on GOG and they get 100% of cash) and Bravely Default 2.
Digital only will blow my gaming budget out of the water.
Part of questions... so you know, people are expanding on their "choice" in question #2.
People mentioned they had played Dragon Quest S on Switch already (or waiting for GamePass) and were not getting it on PS4/Ps5 in the PushSquare review. Nobody made a fuss about it
"it's cheaper elsewhere, this new Switch release shouldn't cost what new releases cost because its 8 months old on this other platform"
Tons of people complain about old Console ports on PC for $60. Next time I see it on PCGamer I'll send you the link.
PushSquare article and announce how I'd rather play on Switch
Some are saying they playing Cyberpunk on PC not on PS4 at pushSqure right now on a survey just like this one.
I mentioned I had moved Yakuza like a Dragon to PC so I could play it on the GO via Shadow PC. In the "What are you playing this weekend" on PushSquare. Nobody attached me
Happens all the time. Switch has more delayed games (and compromises) so you will see more here.
"Sniper Elite 4 is a big game"
Yes and so was Horizon Zero Dawn. But people with a PS4 and a PC were not all that excited it was on PC because they had played it 3 years ago.
You somehow want people to act differently when the Switch is an option. Pc, PS4, Switch... people pick one over the other all the time and comment about it.
@JimmySpades I commented the chart is predictably constant. And in no way selling 1,000 XSX makes any hardware business viable for Microsoft (as usual). They still had the best launch in Xbox history so obviously it was not thanks to Japan. That is not generalization, they are sales charts.
@JaxonH For sure... One selling does not mean the other does not. When the 3DS was selling boat loads so were home consoles and Graphic cards. Nothing has changed.
Sure, if you happy with Sniper Elite 4. But I did not care about SE4 on PC back in 2017. I wanted to play ZBOTW. Just like I do not care about SE4 on Switch in 2020... I want to play Cyberpunk, Yakuza, Dirt 5, F1, Valhalla, Miles Morales.
Same way I do not want to pick between KENA or Bravely Default 2 in early 2021... I want both. I played MH: World... now I want to play MH: Rise. So I have hardware that covers any of those options.
If I have time (and extra $60) to play I want to play what I am most exited about... for most of 2020, that has not been on Switch.
Not surprised, and that is a $500/400 purchase. So paying a premium over a Switch.
Tons of gamers were not going to play at 600p and miss most big AAA releases by sticking with just a Switch (You cant find a $700 3080 or $650 6800Xt for PC either)
Switch is a good handheld, you still need something for home.
@WiltonRoots yep a “dose of realism” is exactly what they are looking for in their games. Same reason there was a line in front of MicroCenter for a 3080 and a Ryzen 5000.
They play all types of games. Our gaming market is not this monotone
@JimmySpades "No games" as in there is no EA NCAA games anymore because NCAA/Collegiate Licensing Company got sued by students for not getting payed for their likenesses in-game.
So "winning" meant EA had to stop making it because they are waiting for the league and US colleges to figure it out. That happened back in 2014, nothing to do with covid in 2020 or live games.
@westman98 The opening 20 sec party scene in AC: Valhalla has more individual faces than the entire first chapter in this nonsense. The first side mission has an actual narrative (not go kill 300 cloned rag dolls)
When you go to a mountain, you actually go to it... and it looks like a snow covered mountain. This goes to a loading screen and a guy narrates "you are going to the mountain" and then it is the same (even the same awful low budget patches of grass) just now textures are in a white color palette.
If there was a production budget it went to buy the ZBOTW texture/audio pack from Nintendo. Again, F2P Genshin Impact has better production value than this (hell, even the free game in my PS5 does)
@westman98 Sure it does, or at a minimum what it is spent on. Tons of work was already created by Nintendo's creative team.
When you realize the world hub is a 3 sec tower animation and a map, the store is a photo still and the first "extra mission" is go kill 300 of X... they sure did not spend it on extra creative work (or optimization)
@westman98 Production value are a carbon copy of ZBOTW, down to the audio. And I have zero doubt it will sell millions. No different than what cloning it did for GI (it already made its 500 Million budget back)... just goes to show how much people want another one.
@westman98 Well obviously it is not that easy to capture ZBOTW or even Zelda magic in a game (even with Nintendo involved) or this would not end up a repetitive snooze fest (or get a mediocre Oceanhorn 2)
It has not violated anything - because there is nothing "big" about this. This is no Smash, Mario Odyssey or Pokemon, it is not even Rehash link Awakening from a September launch slot. There is simply nothing else.
It was obvious for months that the Switch would be missing out on everything big this holiday.
Almost 4 years and 64 million base and you need to go buy a 7 year old home console if you want to play any of the top games of the holidays.... or get stuck playing another Warrior game. Just save the cash and wait for Bravely.
They should have skipped this. Release it in Japan in February 2021.
All stock shipment should be going to US and Europe. These games are for the West anyway.
3070, 3080, 6800Xt, XSX, PS5, Ryzen 5000. Every new hardware is selling out here in the US at any price point. I have never seen anything like it - forget Japan send West.

My PC will be ready.
Hopefully at that point they will have Shadow or Xcloud on Switch.
Re: The Game Awards GOTY Is The Last Of Us Part 2
Good game. Enjoyed it more than last years GOTY, Sekiro (had a blast with it also, just different). Hope they make an Abby stand alone like Miles.
Last 4 GOTY have been worth my cash.
Re: Review: DOOM Eternal - This 'Impossible' Port Is Nothing Short Of A Miracle

Re: Video: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Gets A Mystery-Filled Story Trailer
Very Nice. High on my Switch list for 2021
This is the type of game the Switch can do well, hopefully getting the attention it needs.
Re: Review: DOOM Eternal - This 'Impossible' Port Is Nothing Short Of A Miracle
Always knew it would not be worth waiting if you have a Home Console or PC.
Not playing the same game at Home and on the GO if it means playing it like this. I can do something else on the Bus.

Re: Poll: DOOM Eternal Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Already played it months ago on PC... Cyberpunk is in 2 days for the same price. Easy skip.
Another example why I do not just have a Switch.
Re: Nintendo Consoles Are Aimed At "Kids And Teens" Says Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi
I made Yakuza: Like a Dragon my handheld game via Shadow PC. Happy to have gotten it native on Switch instead.
The graphics and gameplay make more sense on Switch than DOOM Eternal does.
No way that all 70 million Switch owners are kids.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Still Leading The Way For Nintendo
Have a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Mrs as a Hanukkah gift his week
She mentioned how people at work were playing it, so another attempt to get her into gaming 😅 not using my Switch anyway.
Immortals on Switch got outsold by the PS5 install base version. Never had a chance at $60. It will sell better once the price drops.
Regardless if you playing either - Amazon Prime has free sets

This is like having someone always eat the same thing at the same restaurant - every time.
Thankfully we have enough money in the West to keep the rest of the gaming Industry from going bankrupt
Re: Persona 5 Strikers Is Coming To Western Switch Consoles In February 2021
After not being able to stomach Age of Calamity for more than a few plays - I need to give up on these.
If ZBOTW did not make me like it, warrior games are just not for me.

Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Shares His Thoughts About The PlayStation 5
@electrolite77 Yeah, it is like when the RTX2080 came out on PC. Made no sense for anyone with a 1080/1080Ti.
AC: Valhalla, SackBoy, Miles Morales runs just fine on a PRO. And the biggest release this Christmas is not a PS5 game (Cyberpunk)
"...got a Series X"
Nice! Game Pass is amazing.
Re: Bethesda Cyber Sale Discounts All DOOM Games, Skyrim And Wolfenstein On Switch (North America)
Doom 2016 is $6, even Doom Eternal is $19.99 right now
But $30 for Doom 2016?
Re: Review: Immortals Fenyx Rising - An Off-Brand Breath Of The Wild That's Still Worth A Look
Yep, the Stadia Demo was pretty "meh"... this is a $19 sale.
AC: Valhalla runs circles around this and cost the same. Go with AC on something else if you can. The word is stunning.
At a minimum, try the free Stadia Demo (no need for a payed account) before putting down $60 for this (on any system)
Re: DOOM Eternal Blasts To Switch In December - Check Out The New Trailer
I am sure the usual suspects will recycle the same points on why it makes sense to buy this on Switch for $60.
Re: UK Charts: Hyrule Warriors Drops 14 Places While Animal Crossing Returns To Winning Ways
For what I played, surprised only 14 spots.
They should have done like Sony did with Miles Morales. A standalone with same gameplay as ZBOTW.
Glad I only wasted a GameFly slot and not $60 on it. I should have gone with my gut reaction of the demo.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Shares His Thoughts About The PlayStation 5
@Octane Yep... it should be $39.99 at most. I did a rental.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Shares His Thoughts About The PlayStation 5
Not surprised, great system (more if coming from an old PS4 like me, anyone with a PRO, can hold off a bit)
Astro Bot is fantastic and so is SackBoy (rent it, not worth $60). Love when a console launches with a good platformer
Just wish Sony had more stock. Only 2 of us in the fam have one at this point (GodFall is a snooze, so ok for now)

Re: Japanese Charts: Momotaro Dentetsu Beats Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity To Number One
@WiltonRoots So again, if all they want to play is cartoony games and stuff that looks like a mobile game, they do not need new PS5.
Send it to the places where people are sleeping outside GameStop in line to buy one.
Re: Video: Immortals Fenyx Rising - Switch VS PlayStation 5 Graphical Comparison
Took it off my GameFly list after playing the Stadia Demo.
If you have a PS5, better to just get AC: Valhalla. It is the better open world game in every way. And same price.
Go and play the demo before you drop $60 on this, it is 100% free.
Re: Japanese Charts: Momotaro Dentetsu Beats Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity To Number One
This is what sold 345K in japan?... no, you do not need a $500 PS5 for this kind of stuff.
It is like buying a 6800XT to play Railroad Tycoon. Send all the PS5 stock West.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity UK Launch Sales Are 'Nearly 324% Bigger' Than Original
@westman98 for sure... we disagree no harm, no foul. Glad you have something to play.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity UK Launch Sales Are 'Nearly 324% Bigger' Than Original
@westman98 That is more than this by a mile. And actually has a character designer.
Saying a warrior game has big production value is like saying McDonalds is a good fast food burger. Not saying much by comparison.
Re: Soapbox: 10 Years On, We Need More Brave, Worthwhile Experiments Like Epic Mickey
Love Epic Mickey. They should bring it back on Switch for sure.
I thought about it when I was playing Concrete Genie. They could really expand on it and make it look amazing.
Re: Famous Footballers Think EA Could Be Illegally Profiting From Their Names And Likenesses In FIFA
Nothing to do with EA.
Pick it up with the league, clubs and the player association. They are the ones selling this stuff to EA.
College students went after the NCAA for the same thing and won. I mean "won" nothing, because now there are no games.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity UK Launch Sales Are 'Nearly 324% Bigger' Than Original
Err, that just shows how badly Hyrule Warriors did.
Chinese made F2P Genshin Impact is more of a ZBOTW game than the $60 "Nintendo sanctioned" big holiday game is. 2020 Insanity.
At least 2021 is already looking better on Switch.
Re: Square Enix Announces NEO: The World Ends With You, A Sequel To The DS Original

Re: Capcom Has "No Plans" Right Now To Bring The Original Monster Hunter Stories To Switch

Re: Poll: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Nope. Glad they had a demo, not my type of game.
I want to see the story, but I know I won’t play it. Wait for a YouTube cutscenes video.
Re: Doom Eternal For Switch Will No Longer Receive A Physical Release
Basically they realized this would not sell enough copies to justify a physical release at this point.
Just dump it on the eshop and call it a day.
The discounted X1 and PS4 version comes with a free next gen upgrade. And it will be on $10 PC GamePass in a few weeks.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nominated For Game Awards 2020 GOTY

Re: UK Charts: Switch Games Pushed Down The Pecking Order As Next-Gen Excitement Takes Over
why would anyone be surprised.
Been obvious for months that the top new games this holiday were not coming to Switch.
Have Miles Morales for Home and Yakuza like a dragon on the GO (Shadow PC). See no reason to buy a Switch game till MH-Rise and Bravely Default.
