All a bit shady. They started a Kickstarter, then games are ready for release in April. Sounds like the games were already completed. I'm sure Kickstarter wasn't invented for this type of crowd funding.
Just started playing it. Unfortunately it crashes a lot and doesn’t automatically save. Stopped playing after latest crash lost me some achievements I gained today. It’s a shame as already put in 6 days worth.
@60frames-please I think any fast action game on any console should run at 60fps - this problem isn't just with the Switch even though it has more of an excuse due to lower specs but look at Mario Kart and Splatoon as proof that games can look good and run at 60fps.
@commentlife I think you comparing movies to games was a bit strange for your fps argument. Regarding the Hobbit, because they shot it at a higher frame rate, it actually looked more realistic which put people off it.
Higher FPS affects input lag which is really important in certain games. The Switch unfortunately is struggling power wise. I guess if FPS is really important to some people, get a PC (if you have the £££). I can understand developers grief with it.
@MsK Would be nice if NL reviews stated FPS. BTW if FPS is that important to you, you should look at PC gaming. After playing Doom and GTAV at 4.5K at 60FPS+, it's hard going back to 30FPS.

Playing Pillars of Eternity. Great game for the long hours indoors but maybe a bit too bleak given the circumstances.

@Muddy_4_Ever 100% agreed - which means they are using Kickstarter for the wrong purposes.

Re: Review: Overwatch Legendary Edition - Hardly The Best Way To Play, But Still Pretty Great
30FPS for a fast action FPS is a big negative - just like Fortnite. Drop the resolution and/or complexity until the Switch hits 60FPS.

Re: Frame Rate Was One Of The "Top Priorities" For The Developer Of Daemon X Machina

@60frames-please Don't know why people are give you dislikes?
Re: Frame Rate Was One Of The "Top Priorities" For The Developer Of Daemon X Machina
Any fast action game should be 60fps. If the developer can't get it to that level, drop the resolution / details etc.
Re: Journey To The Outer Worlds When Obsidian's Space RPG Lands On Switch
Don't get your hopes up too much - graphics in the video are very misleading. Expect Doom quality downgrade - 720p at best.

Re: Wolfenstein Youngblood File Size Revealed, Trial Edition Listed On Switch eShop
@gigawhat You quoted "Switch carts are only able to hold 16gb right now.
Exactly how do you expect them to store 20gb on a 16 gb cart?"
It took me 10s to prove you wrong with Google.
Re: Wolfenstein Youngblood File Size Revealed, Trial Edition Listed On Switch eShop
@gigawhat Still available though as an option - just too expensive but still an option.

Don't google google. I will break the internet.
Re: Wolfenstein Youngblood File Size Revealed, Trial Edition Listed On Switch eShop
@gigawhat 32GB. Google is your friend.
