Re: Resident Evil Requiem Day One Patch And amiibo Release Date Confirmed

@michellelynn0976 I'm further in the game now. Still doing the frame rate stutters and fps dips, but then in some sections (even with Leon) it's rock solid 60. Then random rooms are like 30 fps even when enemies are cleared. I've barely played docked, maybe that's the difference? Or maybe people forget the bad parts because of the sections that are super solid? Nothing has been as bad as when I was holding the chainsaw with the smoke effect, in the second short Leon section, where I swear it was like sub 30 fps. Uneven performance overall because sometimes the visuals and fps are so good it feels like I'm on a Series X. Then other times it's extremely choppy and the image breaks up. Sorry for being rude to you earlier, I've just gotten tired of some people and reviewers just pretending like there are no issues in these Switch 2 ports. Just want people who read these comments secondhand getting the right impression before they buy . Still glad I got it on Switch 2 tho. Been fun to lay on my couch and play.

I feel like reviews on this site as of late have been afraid to really highlight when performance is disappointing. It gets a brief mention, but man the visuals in this are more disappointing than "some soft textures and softening vistas at a distance" in 60 fps. The whole image is really soft in 60 fps. Also why are you not mentioning handheld performance. Maybe I'd trust these reviews more in cases where I didn't know better if that Amazon affiliate link wasn't immediately below the review.

@michellelynn0976 it absolutely dips lower than that. Played docked a little last night and it was 40 fps docked in Leon's first section.And Im certain it was dropping to 30 in handheld mode with Leon's next section, in the hospital. There's a period of time you're holding a chainsaw, and even after you've killed the zombies, it seems like the smoke from it causes the fps to drop lower than 40. It was actually pretty rough in handheld. Please don't lie, that's silly to do that and spreads misinformation

@Dee123 yeah...but for all the games? Green Jelly was a 90s band so I can understand why that may not be available. Super curious about this. A lot of these game aren't really that great lol, like I'd be legit surprised if Konami actually developed these games in house back in the day...actually maybe just the arcade versions were theirs.

@michellelynn0976 lol - you did not hear that anywhere - you're just hoping. Can confirm the initial Leon section is nowhere near 60 fps docked. Haven't tried it in handheld yet. I'd guess docked is 40 fps for Leon shooting zombies in the street in the rain. Maybe it'll be better when it's not raining. Kind of disappointed. Grace's section looked unbelievably good tho, like I was on my Series X or something in some instances, minus the weird hair.

I do think you're underplaying the performance struggles in Leon's sections, if other reviews are to go by. Hearing that it mostly runs around 40 fps. I think something a lot of these NL reviews lack is specificity for this kind of stuff. Still won't deter me from playing on Switch 2, but I think that should be called out more, because for some people that would be a deal breaker, and that's the kind of thing we ultimately want insight from in these reviews.

Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade

@Strawblaze I don't know that I'm the exception. I think a LOT of us have got our eyes and brains rewired rom higher frame rates just in general from all media and games. So I took issue with you saying that just because the lot of us were ok with lower fps and jank on Switch 1 doesn't mean we aren't now taking issue with stuff. Btw been playing Ys X in 120 fps in handheld and it feels like my brain is getting a massage. As of late turning the camera too fast in even 60 fps games feels really framey to me. But shimmer has always hurt my eyes. It's exhausting for some reason. I just got off a airplane right now and tried out XCX again to see if I've been exaggerating and nope it's really bad. It feels like being drunk or something

Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade

Dang_69

@Strawblaze what a ridiculous comment. In the last few years of Switch 1 I couldn't handle the issues you were describing. In fact, when I got XCX last year I realized that I absolutely cannot handle 30 fps in big open spaces anymore where you swing the camera around. My eyes have adjusted to higher frame rates elsewhere. So I was extremely excited for this update only to have that shimmering mess with my head in handheld. It's an issue. It shouldn't have been released like this. Stop blaming ppl who bought it and not the big corporation that released it.

Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade

Dang_69

@JohnnyMind have you not played in handheld mode? Because if you're the kind of person who notices and prefers 60 fps, I have no clue how you would not notice the flickering and shimmering in handheld. Some people don't notice this stuff, but if you have a hard preference for 60 fps as you said, I'm not sure how you're noticing this issue

Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online

Dang_69

They should be offered thru the NSO like they do with DLCs or the 99 games, as a separate download that isn't on the NSO app. I doubt there are many extras in these roms to make separate purchases anything other than greed. That said, if I'm being generous, maybe they did some number crunching and selling these is part of a push to keep down raising Switch 2 hardware prices given everything going on.

Re: Mewgenics Console Release Is In The Works, And Switch 2 Is "The Frontrunner"

Dang_69

@nessisonett genocide deniers? Source needed lol. I mean if that was true, then you're a bad person for even playing a pirated version of the game for free. Edit: oh wait I think this is an Ethan Klein reference from you. I forgot about all that. i think that's an oversimplification to say he's a genocide denier. He's both spoken against what Israel is doing but also said some stuff that feels like he's going "lite" on Israel. But I think that's prob out of context. I dunno man, but I guess you got a point.

Re: Video: Capcom Releases New Pragmata 'World View' Trailer

Dang_69

Concerned about how this game is going to run on Switch 2 once it hits those big open spaces. The console struggles when that happens vs smaller spaces. You can see the difference in Street Fighter matches compared to the single player stuff. MH Stories 3 didn't run well in the demo. Pragmata ran really great in those small rooms and corridors. Still going to take my chances and get this on Switch 2.

Re: Preview: Dizzying Detail, Fluctuating Frames - A Good Look At 'Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection'

Dang_69

Yeah the demo unsold me from getting this at launch. Sometimes the game was 60 sometimes it was like 45 fps sometimes it was 30, then it'd drop lower than 30 (when you get to the castle area and you swing your camera past where all the market NPCs it gets choppy). Also was disappointed in how soft everything looked both in handheld and on tv. On the other hand Pragmata completely sold me, was impressed by that game. Switch 2 seems to have an issue with rendering things out when you're in a large open space. Cyberpunk is a good example, when you're indoors on a story mission the game runs awesome and looks literally unbelievably great, otherwise it's rough, in the city and the desert. Soft rez, choppy frames.

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Hollow Knight Or Silksong?

Dang_69

Silksong by far. BUT but but with the increased difficulty the long run back to some bosses or mini bosses just straight up sucks it big time and tarnishes a wonderful game. Bothers way more than Dark Souls 1, which is what I think they're going for. I never could finish Hollow Knight, would lose interest and then come back to it after too much time and forget what I was doing lol. Did that like 3 restarts.
