@Yorumi Honestly I guess we've become accustomed to a certain level of skill when it comes to optimization. So anything that does not meet those standards is foreign to us.
@kobashi100 Yep I provided incorrect info, I switched it out. But still this game is unable to hold 60FPS on the PS4 pro? It just seems so far fetched to me.
Anyone who buys it should be shunned by the community. You don't buy games with crap performance at a higher price.
@DanElectrode Honestly I think might just come down to incomptence by the Dev team. How is it that game such as BOTW can run at 900p 30FPS, yet this can't manage a stable a 30FPS at 720p? I can't think of any possible excuse for this.
@gortsi "Rule of thumb is, whatever he says, believe the opposite. Even if it's not entirely true, it's closer to the truth than any garbage he spouts on any given day (which he stealthily edits afterwards 99% of the time)."
I haven't laughed that hard in awhile, thanks for that.
@subpopz "The people relying solely on the Wii U for these apps would be in a very extreme minority"
1. It doesn't have to be solely, I used the Wii U to access Youtube quite often. It was easier to use than my Amazon Fire Stick, and my iPad did not allow me to watch videos on the big screen. Now I mostly use my iPad because my Gamepad's battery doesn't hold/charge anymore. It's hypothetical but I would assume a good amount of people used their Wii U as well as other devices.
2. Until that group of people fades out the Wii U (community wise) is still alive. Business wise yes it's dead, but the community it built up is still around.
@subpopz You can make the argument it's worth keeping until the Netflix, YouTube, maybe a browser appear on the switch. But when they do, there's really no reason for it to stay plugged in.
Apparently it runs at 1080p docked and 720p undocked. If this is true and the framerate is solid it's a nice open world port imo. Now can we get GTAV over here as well?
@Si2k78 I would say due to the amount of censorship still put upon games pertaining to that time period, there's quite a bit of association still existing. It would be like American's censoring the word slaves and replacing it with "forced laborers". If they really felt it was a different time with people completely unrelated to present-day Germany, I do not see a reason to censor things such as Nazi symbols from games.
@impurekind What are you getting worked up about? I'm not here to argue with you, but I have two things to say.
1. Your comment before you graciously edited it (Yeah I noticed) did not include the phrase "in my opinion" or "to me atleast". All you said was their opinions were wrong, let me tell you what you should think.
2. I don't give a crap how you feel about that game. You can say WHATEVER you want as long as you present it as your opinion. I'll only call you out if you present it as fact, which you did. Enjoy the rest of your day.
@roadrunner343 Just to clarify I am not saying they sent out a bad port just so they could say "Ha told you nobody would buy it, now leave us alone". I'm saying they have very little interest in supporting the switch, and now they have an excuse to take their time with whatever else they might bring over.
@electrolite77 Well my opinions are based on the lack of features other we have. Not neccesarily gameplay, but lack of features outside of the journey I don't like.
@DonSerrot That's sort of the point everyone is making. The excitement was purposely left out of the game. EA wants to give us a crap port and use that as an excuse to take their time with other ports when we don't buy it.
@Syntaxkita The thing is why aren't we getting the new monster hunter game? For what reason would it be released in only in Japan? Where's Mega Man? Where's the new Disney collection that happened to be a Nintendo exclusive when it first released? It's just hard to believe the only game they could port is Street Fighters.
@Mr_Pepperami Yeah I get what you're saying. But you could also argue EA is at a different level of relevancy today than it was before. The games they make, are for the demographic Nintendo is shooting for. Support from them would be useful.
@Mr_Pepperami From what I can recall the My sims games sold well enough on the Wii. I wouldn't say any company was really a major player during the Wii days
@ThomasBW84 The only interesting thing they'll have to do is put it in a case and place it on the shelf. The physical cartridge is all people really want.
@Kimyonaakuma I have no idea haha, that was taken from the direct. If you've already gotten another level and it doesn't look like that I guess three is what you need..........
@rjejr Ahhh I hadn't thought about that aspect before. I have to say it seems a bit odd that a retailer would completely disregard the release date set by the company though. You would think policies would be in place to prevent that.

Re: Hulu Video Streaming App Out Today For Switch In North America
Here's another nail in the coffin in the Wii U. Soon it will be completely phased out.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey and Nintendo Switch Continue Strong Run in Japan
@justin233 Not as weird as Wolfenstein selling well in Germany would be.
Re: Get Revved Up for Rocket League With Its Switch Launch Trailer
@janfritz The game is only 20 bucks, so if you don't like it shouldn't set you back too far. I feel you on wanting a demo though.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC is Set for a December Release
Releasing DLC at a time when people are handing out money like they own a bank. What a strange idea.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Analysis Points To Switch Sonic Forces Being The Worst Version
@jmap Ok, and I am saying any game that runs at 720p on the Xbox one, and has zero visual enhancements on the PS4 Pro is a lazy port.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Analysis Points To Switch Sonic Forces Being The Worst Version
@jmap Not really an excuse when the Xbox One version of the game is running at 720p...........
Re: Video: Get Up to Speed With the Sonic Forces Launch Trailer
@GC-161 I assume you're being sarcastic with the whole color thing
Re: Video: Get Up to Speed With the Sonic Forces Launch Trailer
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Huh seems like they took a complete 180 from what they did with generations and managed to make a trash game:

@SLIGEACH_EIRE What were the negatives?

@ShadJV It's no big deal to me.
Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game
@impurekind No, I'm just pointing out how you basically discredited their opinions, while making yours appear to be fact.
Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game
@impurekind
No!
They might be truly great in many people's opinions but it doesn't even come close the all-round perfection that Super Mario Odyssey is.

Re: EA Says It's Still Too Early To Judge Demand For More Games On Switch
@DonSerrot EA also makes Need for Speed, Battlefront, A way out, Anthem, Titanfall.
Re: EA Says It's Still Too Early To Judge Demand For More Games On Switch
@roadrunner343 Yes, it was poorly made in my opinion just read this review. It echoes a lot of my thoughts on it: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/10/10/fifa-18-switch-review
Re: Nintendo Wants Everyone In Your House To Have Their Own Switch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah because we've never seen parents buy multiple consoles for their kids.

Re: Rocket League Blasts Onto the Nintendo Switch on 14th November
@IceClimbers Ahh sounds a little like what Nintendo is doing with their classic games.
Re: Rocket League Blasts Onto the Nintendo Switch on 14th November
@IceClimbers Except it will be locked behind your Nintendo Online subscription, which is cheaper though.
