I have nothing in general against E33, but winning best RPG over Kingdome Come 2 is a blasphemy. Just shows how these reviewers play only what the mainstream tells them to.
No, you keep making a fool of yourself. If Nintendo tells you the earth is flat, will you eat that? I gave you objectives technicalities that a panel MUST have to properly show HDR. Again, if you support something but you can’t physically show it in action, are you supporting it? Answer me honestly.
Apple 20$ EarPods support 24/196 High Res Lossless. Don’t they?
So do, 150$ IPS monitors. Support is one thing, having the actual physical capabilities to properly display HDR, like local or per pixel dimming, is a different story.
´´This also lacks the (excellent) HDR support of the NS2 Edition.´´
This only applies to the docked experience on NS2 as that screen is incapable of proper HDR, so the NS OLED version will definitely have the punchier picture when playing portably.
I play lots of horror and dark games, IPS cannot go low enough in brightness and dark scenes look grey. On the OLED the pixels turn of and it looks perfect
Response times are objectively much worse. It’s especially bothersome in darkish 2D side scrollers like Silksong. You see ghosting because the panel can’t keep up
Contrast is objectively worse and things don’t “pop up” as much as on the OLED
Overall brightness is inferior
The only advantage is 1080p, in everything else, it’s a worse screen, both objectively and subjectively.
Plus my NS OLED is overclocked and performs much better than a stock unit. Absolutely no need until we get a proper revision.
Yeah, coming from the NS OLED, I can’t go back to crappy IPS panels. But this way I’ll be much more hyped once more games come out along with the NS2 OLED revision, which is inevitable.
Contrary to most, I never found her performance good in RE VIII.
She always seemed to overreact like a spoiled child that didn’t get a brand new car from rich parents at 16yo. Just mindlessly screaming and trying too hard.
I absolutely agree. People are just lazy and want everything to be handed to them.
There was a mob rush room in The Citadel I had no chances of winning. So I just kept exploring, upgraded my tools, my masks, my damage output and the amount of silk I could carry. Went there again after 5-7 hours and demolished all the enemies.
Instead of trying 100x over, just keep going and come back later. It really works.
What a pile of garbage did I just read. Only Nintendo makes fun games, hell…I must be bored as hell having 30h in Silksong at 240fps on my PC…or with Cronos at settings your new system will deliver 30fps ish 1080p.
No dude, there’s plenty of fun, gameplay centric games on PC, infinitely more than on NS1 and 2. You’re just unable to do some research I guess.
Never will I understand this mentality. So hard to keep a good gaming PC with a Nintendo console?
Sounds like someone that doesn't like the genre reviewed this one. It's a fantastic game and tension in gameplay is up there if you are not careful with resources. Big disagree here, it's at least an 8.5 after 5-6 hours of playtime.
I took matters into my own hands and forced docked mode on my enchanted OLED Switch in handheld mode. Looks pristine, so it’s nice they're addressing it as it was extremely pixelated.
I will take these downsides ANY day of the week over a Switch 2 Pro Controller. It is insane to me that Nintendo is still using traditional stick mechanisms in 80$ controllers, while the third parties are two steps in front, (TMR is better than Hall). The magnetic YXAB are a must have for gamers with multiple consoles/PC.
That doesn’t inspire confidence for docked mode, until we finally get VRR support that way. Oh well, guess it’ll be like with the OG Switch, with me playing handheld like 95% of the time.
This was majestic back in the day on iOS. Tried it without touch controls (MW1) and it breaks everything. I genuinely need an answer from the devs why touch support is not integrated.
The act of piracy is to copy. You’re not stealing. Please dude, I’m from the EU and went through the government pages that cover this, hence why it’s actually LEGAL to consume pirated content in our country.
Where you live decides the legal proceedings of the act.
Multiple researches have concluded it doesn’t affect the publisher in any or minimal capacity. There are bigger issues in life my dude. Hard to comprehend if you live in a first world country.
This is why you always buy something second-hand after testing it in person folks...
@NFrealinkling We both know 90% of people will use this to pirate, but a small percentage of people will just make legal digital back ups of their own games for convenience or for any other reason, and they should be legally fully covered to do that. So yeah, Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to perma ban from online anyone if they can't distinguish back upers and pirates.
And they’re right. As a 95% handheld gamer, I have no intentions of picking the NS2 until an OLED revision comes along. I have my beefy PC for docked play and my OLED NS1 will do just fine for 2-3 extra years.
It's such an optimised game. I can easily see 60fps on NS2.
@Dom_31
FS games are approachable, you just don't pay attention. They don't do easy/medium/hard, they let you play online and gank a boss, splitting aggro and basically giving you an easy mode.
Also while I like the gameplay, ''easilly tops'' Elden Ring is quite the stretch. I can see it being on par but way, way behind Sekiro and Bloodborne especially.

Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey
A thousand bucks for IPS without micro dimming should be actually illegal in 2025.
Tolerable on the NS2, but that costs less than half.

Not the best candidate for that greyish IPS with backlight bleed, but more games the better in the end.

Do they give you NS2 for free? Hence why I specifically mentioned “software wise”
And don’t be deluded, 4K gaming is not something only the rich can achieve. A second hand 3080Ti with DLSS4 can still be plenty for 4K60 gaming.
Please just stop dude. Defending a multinational greedy corpo is a no go.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
Dudes justifying 40$ upscale of 15yo+ games is why Nintendo sell is at 40$.
People just don’t care and consume.
On PC, I play at 1080. I buy new card I play at 4K …all for 0$ extra software wise.

Re: Feature: 33 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
Been playing like this on my enchanted OLED for years now. Just overclock and enjoy the hypothetical Switch Pro.
Plus there’s things you can’t do on NS2 yet. You can’t play Dark Souls at 60fps because it requires a user-made mod, but a modded Switch can.
Re: 18 Months And $200,000 Later, Modder Gives Switch Lite OLED And HDMI-Out - And A Switch 2 OLED Mod Is Next
