Not sure how this helps the precieved quality as I believe the resolution is much less important than facters such as the models used, the art style, lighting and shadow effects, etc..
The cheapest and easiest way to mix audio between anything with a 3.5mm audio output and a PC is just connecting the audio output into the line in port on the PC and turn on listening for the line in port. All the audio comes out of the PC's audio output after that. I was searching for several hours for dacs, adcs, multipoint connecting headphone, mixer, etc.. that costs upward to hundreds when I finally found out I just needed a spare aux cable.
Does this update fix the frame rate drop when entering fast levels in Journey mode? Entering stages with 11 speed and higher gives a massive lag for a second where several blocks drop with no time to react.
Is anyone else getting annoyed of the game telling you are disconnected from Internet when you resume playing from sleep mode? I have no desire to play multiplayer and there is no option to turn that off.
Unless Nintendo just gives up on the concept of Switch, a "Switch Pro" with upgraded hardware and many of the rumored specs will have to come eventually. I think it comes out in 2024. I can settle with 720p 30fps docked, but many new games or even old ports struggle to even hit that. Will be hard to believe those problems can be solved by more skilled optimizations and probably will need 4k support to hit that mark. With current hardware, you either get day 1 performance problems like MHS2 and the new Ys, or the game releases a year later than other platforms like Crash and Kakarot.
After playing Final Fantasy X Remaster, I have lost hope in the remasters of games that released around 20 years ago; some of the dated designs really stick out.
The suits system here reminds me of swapping blades in XC2 to meet the specific field skill requirements, swap back to the blades I use in battle, ran into another obstacle that requires swapping blades seconds later, and have to swap back to my usual lineup again. Systems that require constant swapping for simple purposes are just so lame.
From what I understand, Overwatch 2 is just single player campaigns with lores and same multiplayer as Overwatch. Why wouldn't they just call it DLC then?
Safe to assume at least two of Pokemon Gen 4 remake, Bayonetta, Metroid Prime 4 or trilogy, and BOTW2 will have solid dates announced? Hope we get some news on Windjammers 2, also. Also feels like the new timing of directs are the week after major first party releases. Directs happens the week after the release of ACNH, Mario 3D All Stars, and Paper Mario, and now 3D Worlds.
Been playing on Switch, and it has some minor but annoying problems. Restarting takes like 20 seconds, and becomes a pain when I try to get 3 stars and restarts a ton. For the first second or so after resuming the game from the pause menu, the game would not register any inputs from the controller, which means you cannot turn or throttle out of the pause screen at all. Lack of detailed stats for each car also bothers me.
Hades is my game of the year. Not only is the combat top notch, it's graphics and plots are also superb. Its vocal music was such a pleasure to listen to I would stop mid-run for a couple minutes to listen. I would pay for a soundtrack.
Mario 64 seems kinda weird game for me. Its like the gameplay encourages you to explore but its camera is telling you otherwise.
So, Kingdom Rush Frontiers remains the best tower defense game on Switch? Switch seem to really lack good tower defense games, as I haven't heard much about new games in the genre and can't even find a list of best Switch tower defense games anywhere.
@WiltonRoots Many people who play games probably don't care about specs of the consoles, but developers certainly do. Worse specs means more complex games would require a lot more optimization to get it running in an acceptable state, making it more risky to develop for Switch rather than more powerful consoles. That results in some games never making it to Switch and other games' Switch versions getting a delayed release (Doom Eternal), and those actually affects many Switch owners.
Hopefully direct next Thursday following the release of Paper Mario this Friday just like the March mini direct was the week after the release of Animal Crossing.
@OptometristLime What is the natural cycle of discovery for this? Writing a journal with data entries for every Redd visit and derive those percentages after a couple of years?
If only they add the option to remove fuels for local games and it would become my go-to racing game for my casual friends. I remember seeing on steam forums that the develops said they are working on it, but the timestamp is like in 2018.
Couldn't really care less about the joke either way. Spawn rate for sea bass is way too high for any joke to work. Problem is the spawn rate not the joke.
