Re: Horror FPS Amnesia: Rebirth Spooks Up A Storm On Switch 2 Next Month

DTfearTheBEARD

@iNightfarer Agreed. These horror games (most games in general) look terrible on Switch 2 in portable mode. Which is why my Switch 2 stays mostly docked to one of my OLED TV's.

If Switch 2 is your only way to enjoy these type of games, then it's understandable.

I'm interested in Amnesia: Rebirth, but I would much rather play it on PS5 Pro or Steam Deck OLED.

Switch 2 OLED can't come soon enough!

Re: Multiple Switch Games Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes

A Hat in Time
DOOM (2016)
Final Fantasy XII
Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe

Nice to know these games I own have been fixed for Switch 2.

Besides Doom (2016), unless it gets a Switch 2 upgrade. Which was amazing at the time it released on Switch. I can't go back to that now. With the option to play a much superior Steam version on my Deck OLED.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Already Sold Over 5 Million Copies

Phenomenal game and very well deserved! I earned my Platinum yesterday (4 playthroughs/33 hours) and loved every minute I spent playing RE Requiem.

Looks stunning on PS5 Pro at 60fps with ray tracing and feels great at 120fps with ray tracing off. I love how well Capcom implemented the gyro this time around. My aim was on point, haha.

I'll double dip eventually, to play on my Steam Deck OLED. After a price drop.

Then triple dip a few years down the line for Switch 2, when Nintendo decides to release an OLED model.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now

DTfearTheBEARD

Damn, I should have waited. Now I have to double dip on the Switch 2 physical.

I picked up the Switch 1 physical copy a few months back on sale for $50. I thought Nintendo would only offer a digital upgrade for this game, but I was wrong. Oh well. At least I'll be able to keep my Switch 2 copy sealed.

Kinda sucks that it isn't a free upgrade since it's a newer release. But $5 isn't bad.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 Switch 2 upgrades next, please.

Re: Reminder: Nintendo Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week

DTfearTheBEARD

I have an extra pair of joy lock grips from D Brand lying around. So, I'll buy these, to put them to use.

The grips make split joycon gameplay much more comfortable. They even make mouse mode bearable for more than 20 minutes without my hand cramping.

Split joycon is my preferred way to play while using the joycon, especially for games that support gyro (CyberPunk, RE Revelations 1 & 2, RE 5 & 6, ect)

Re: GDC Survey Shows Switch 2 Is Proving To Be A Desirable Platform For Developers

@spiderman0616 I've been a fan of Xbox since the original. The 360 was easily my only console of choice during that generation.

I love PlayStation, but Sony needs competition. So does Nintendo, that's why I'm excited for the next PlayStation portable.

Series X would most likely be the last Xbox console. I buy, but if Microsoft can pull off a PC style box (Steam Machine). That's powerful and gives me access to my entire Steam library. I would be interested depending on price. Of course.

They clearly cannot compete with Sony any more. So it's understandable that they're trying to go another route. Next gen should be interesting.

Re: GDC Survey Shows Switch 2 Is Proving To Be A Desirable Platform For Developers

Switch 2 being a high priority for developers Isn't surprising to me.

I love my Steam Deck OLED, but it hasn't exactly set the world on fire in terms of sales.
Seeing it so high up on the list makes me happy!

PS5 Pro & Steam Deck OLED are my go to devices. I still like my Switch 2. But I haven't played it as much lately.

Such a shame for Series X. Because the hardware is great!

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Sequels Will Have "Exactly The Same" Gameplay As Other Consoles

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm currently playing through Rebirth on my PS5 Pro, and it looks amazing. I know the game looked terrible on base PS5. It kind of reminded me of impossible Switch 1 ports where the screen looked like vaseline was smeared across it, it was so blurry.

It will be interesting to see how Rebirth runs on Switch 2. I'll be playing part 3 on my Pro. But it's nice to know that Switch 2 owners will be able to play all three games in the trilogy. The same goes for Xbox players.

Re: PSA: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition On Switch 2 And Switch Has Been Updated To Version 1.0.2

DTfearTheBEARD

Gyro should be a standard option for any game that could potentially take advantage of it. The fact that they grayed it out instead of fixing it is laziness.

Switch 2 even supports mouse controls. Between the hybrid nature and multiple controller options (Pro controller, split joy cons, gyro, mouse mode) A lot of these especially older titles, should be the definitive way to play on Switch 2 as far as consoles go. Minus some graphical downgrades here and there, of course.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Latest Trailer Teases Bustling City Environment

DTfearTheBEARD

@Solid_Python But the thing is I WANT to play the games on Switch 2. I'm just not a fan of game key cards, is all.

But no, I buy the newer more demanding games for PS5 Pro, not Steam Deck.
I just remote, play them to Steam Deck OLED, sometimes.

I have, and always will be a fan of Nintendo (30+ years). I just wish the third party support offered more proper physical releases.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Latest Trailer Teases Bustling City Environment

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm excited to see how it will look on my PS5 Pro with the Pro enhancements. Given Capcoms track record with Pro upgrades for RE, I'm sure it will look and run great!

I'll remote play it to my Steam Deck OLED with proper HDR and gyro aiming, and pretend it's a Switch 2 Pro or PS6 portable 😂😂.

I'd gladly double dip on Switch 2 for RE 7, 8, 9. But game key cards 🔑, so no I'll get RE9 for Steam Deck OLED, after a price drop for my portable fix later on.

Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works

DTfearTheBEARD

Multiple cartridge sizes should have been a thing since day 1. But better late then never.

Since there have been so few proper physical releases for Switch 2. It's been nice to save money, but I would like to build my Switch 2 collection somewhat similar to my Switch 1 library.

Until then, I'll continue buying most of my games for PS5 Pro, older and indie games on Steam with sales for SD OLED and exclusives on Switch 2.
