@Fiergala I can only play 30fps for about 2 minutes and then it hurts my eyes and head. I can see each individual frame and there are not enough of them to look like video, it just looks like lots of images in quick succession like a flip book. @Skunkfish I cant play any 30fps game.
For me playability means framerate first and foremost. I can only handle so many frame dips before I call it a day and I cant handle anything under 60.
I cant be the only one playing flora and fang? It came out a few days ago. It’s a must play if you enjoyed donkey kong 3 however you cant yet remap controls or turn off rumble so I’m using the gamecube controller for it.
Picked up flora and fang last night and been playing it since. If you pick it up be warned that you cant turn down/off rumble or change button layout so I've had to find a workaround for that.
If/when I get one I’m sure mine will be fine due to how cold my living room is. The max heat it gets in there at the peak of summer (if such a thing exists in Glasgow) is 21°C. Average temp in there is about 16°C.
I have clocked hundreds of hours on the first puyo puyo tetris on switch. The reason I didnt go for the second one was I was sick of the voices when you score. There are other tetris games out there which dont do this. Also what’s with the nonsensical “story” what even is that? Whats going on there? The so called story is like a feverish nightmare.
I’ll be having a gathering at mine with a few friends. One of them is brining theirs round. I wont be getting a switch 2 on release as there are no games that excite me and I have so many games on switch 1. I’m sure I’ll get one eventually.
I think I might sit this gen out and go pc. The reason I usually prefer console is because it’s a lot more streamlined and less faff but now with purpose built machines and steam os on the way. I only play indie games mostly anyway so I don't even need more power. I’ll just be sticking with my switch 1 for now. I’d have made the jump to switch 2 if the games were not just going to be emulated and there was going to be a boost on most/all games like on ps4 to ps5 rather than what xbox original to xbox 360 was like.
@Moistnado I feel the same way with lots of the collections on switch. Taito comes to mind, release them all on one cart and stop messing everyone around. I ended up not buying any at all.
I’m kind of mixed, it seems obvious as it’s a separate device and I wouldnt want a compromise/work around but at the same time it does seem like a bit of an oversight I mean they’re both usbc connected?
@Zufolobelisk Do you not remember we had that vote last week when I was made the representative of the nintendo fanbase community? And then we all voted that we didnt want any ea games on the switch 2? I thought you were there?

@GetontheStiix Did you maybe mean to respond to someone else? Your response doesn’t match any of my comments.

Re: Capcom Is Recording Switch 2 Game-Key Card Purchases As "Digital Sales"
