Imagine messing up your expensive, dear Switch with this L0L.

I doubt it really matters. You'll get used to it either way. I'm right handed, but the thought alone of using the right stick as the primary one with ABXY buttons on the left, makes me nauseous to the point I could vomit.

Aight, I'm reading this at 2AM while having work tomorrow, so at least I'm glad I can just go to sleep, without having to fire up my Switch & checking out all kinds of new stuff first.

Thanks for a lame update, N!

No thanks. This is just as stupid as making Samus Aran a male.

Well I really feel that way because it just heavily relies on jump scares, as it's not really scary in any other way. This is because the AI isn't anything to write home about. It's barely AI to begin with. Enemies just walk around in circles, in given and predictable patterns.

And when they do spot you, you can just always run to the same friggin' locker to hide in, 'cause if an enemy doesn't check a locker once, that means it never will. There's just no reason to be scared at all.
I really digged the game's setting and atmosphere, but it lacked depth because it's technically so barebones and to me, it's not worth 20 bucks and calling it the best horror game ever is more horrifying than the game itself.

Nonetheless, if you did enjoy it so much then I'm happy for you and I hope you'll enjoy the portable edition once more. I'm looking into Outlast II, never tried that one and I hope they've improved upon these issues.

Then I'll keep on passing.

@NintendoFan4Lyf
That just means it's overpriced there as well.

@kobashi100
This game was 20 bucks at launch. The game is old, the profits were reaped years ago across multiple platforms and porting it wasn't nearly as much work as when they first created it from the ground up. Considering those variables I'd say half of its current price would be more adequate.

As it stands it's just easy cashing. But hey, who's to blame them. I'm passing on it though.

20 bucks for such an old and average game that has been available on multiple devices for years? No thanks. I mean, it's nowhere near as pathetic as Skyrim, but still.

Give me the second and I'll think about it...

Ah, another utterly forgettable, stupid 8-bit indie game. Tiring! But at least the library is bigger than the Wii U's was at this point!

Yeah well that's easy when you port the entire library of the Wii U on to the Switch.

Even if I deliberately try to imagine the most trashy thing in existence, it's still not bad compared to the pathetic, tiresome, utter garbage a Black Ops 4 would actually be in real life.

Pass.

Nice and all but I'm done with Odyssey and XC2, already played BotW to death on my Wii U and finished Skyrim, Doom and L.A. Noire years ago on PC, where I'm still playing Rocket League.

So I'm pretty much wondering what I'm supposed to do with it. I'm not that interested in all those freaking indies and average games like Lost Sphear so I need new titles man, and I don't mean all those Wii U ports I've already played thoroughly... There's like two games to look forward to at this moment and they're both far from releasing. FFS. Why does this thing sell so fast again?

As long as it eventually works, I don't care.

Seven billion? Guess that automatically makes the Switch the best selling gaming platform of all time.

The demo runs at a solid smooth 15 - 20 fps. How's the final release?

Xbox One exclusive huh? Sounds like I'll be playing it on my PC then.

Awesome.

That's a huge bummer for me.

A Direct full of mostly PC and Wii U games I've already played to 100% completion, with some exceptions that don't interest me at all.

Boy do I hope this is a 'mini' version, with a greater Direct still to come.

Nintendo's probably sitting back and enjoying our misery.

They sure have mastered the art of building up hype and anticipation pretty darn quick. Perhaps that's partly thanks to the new president.

Would be so pathetic if it ends up being 720p. I know its Wii U architecture which isn't easily optimized for Switch architecture and all, but still it doesn't exactly bring confidence in Switch horsepower/third party support if it can't run this game at 1080p despite that.

Getting 1 and 2 on Wii U soon though. Love the price drop the Switch announcement caused in stores here.

Good luck brother.

Man, I just hope they'll value resolution over detail. I'd much much rather have a few less grass blades or shiny walls than having those things but seeing everything at sub-HD. The blur effect this brings in Doom (most notorious in its MP) gets to the point where you can barely read on screen text in menus. Either res > detail or just keep optimizing until you can have both, because I really believe it'd be possible.

Will pick this up on Switch just like Doom anyway, though, because portability and sexy device.

@Geeks4Life
If you play it in tabletop mode, you'll usually sit a bit farther away than when you have the console in your hands in handheld mode. This will make the res drop less noticable and it will actually look amazing again, coming out of such a small device.

But yeah, when you play in handheld mode on a train or wherever and the screen is quite close to your face, the lower resolution starts to bug you because the textures will be too close to remain sharp. I'd say if you're not at home and want to play XC2, always use tabletop when you're able to.

Map update is very welcome. I'd also love it if they'd be able to optimize the game a bit more, perhaps enough to stop the resolution from dropping as much as it ofttimes does portably.

But this game is life. I went in without many expectations, but it overwhelmed me and got me addicted as all hell. It's so fantastic...

Never been this easy.
