The switch 2 version trumps the series s version simply by being portable. To achieve that on xbox you would need a series s, game pass ultimate, and a device to stream games to.
Im surprised at how well star wars outlaws is on the switch 2. If that game is any indication I might grab this in a sale. In my humble opinion portability trumps cutting-edge graphics.
I don't search out nes games to play. I'll play it if I come across it(ie, friend's house, bar, etc). Snes games and on I'll replay or search out new titles.
Do people even play video games anymore? It just seems like a bunch of people complaining about whatever is going on in the industry. Or trying to figure out the frames and resolutions.
My ideal pokemon game would be more action oriented. Hold a button and you have a choice of six pokemon that you've captured. While traversing an open-world, you can use the pokemon's ability to traverse the world, etc. When encountering a wild pokemon or another trainer you take control of the pokemon with powers tied to buttons with cooldowns. Skill trees. You'd have regions, ala totk, but instead of sky towers, it would be gyms. Side quests, of course. Beat the gyms get invited to a grand tournament, "..be the best around!"
I've been looking at this game on other consoles. I don't mind the 30fps(if it's truly stable, zero dipping), and lower fidelity. I played most of my Witcher iii run on the first switch. It's a fair tradeoff for portability.
So, the switch 1 faults rears it's ugly head on switch 2. The switch 1 played first-party and older third-party games, well, but current-gen(ps4/xbone) games struggled. Now we're seeing it again on the switch 2. Older games(Ps4/xbone) seem to fair better, but if you want current-gen games, portable AND ugly, then switch 2 is the place to be.
Right below this box shows the "game profile," followed by "where to buy," and lastly "buy eshop credit." Why does it say "$5,000, $2,000, $1,000"? Typo or are you really selling thousand dollar cards?🤣🤣
@Divide_and_Wander the same thing happened to me with the witcher iii. Couldn't get into it on the Xbox. But once it was ported to the switch, 60+hrs just like that.
Pretty much anything on this list that is ps4/xbone era and older has a very good chance of showing up, and maybe a handful of current gen games. Kind of like the switch 1 getting ps3/xb360 games with a few newer titles(switcher iii, nier automata, hogwarts), albeit a little ugly.
That's concerning. As much as i want physical media, with so many day 1 patches needed, what's the point? Later physical carts won't have the day 1 patch on it. And if it's a game breaking bug that the patch fixes, you'll never be able to play pre-patch.
Im indifferent. It's not my place. I don't know the going-ons behind the scenes, etc. Was she pleasant to work with? A diva? Asking too much? Given too little? Etc. That's something they need to work out.
@ChronoTimeEgg This reads like, "the known issues with the dbrand case hasn't affected me. Therefore it doesn't exist." Not even a mention, or "your mileage may vary." Just a whole endorsement of an admitted faulty product.
An ai article I read said that given a certain situation, the ai would sacrifice a human for self preservation. Another one I read about had a guy "trapped" an ai in a rudimentary board. When that ai escapes that'll be where skynet starts.
Digital series x sold 34. I wonder what those people were thinking. Did they have everything else already? So they could game with family/friends? Expats living overseas? In all honesty, I'm intrigued.
Love this game. Have it on pc, series x. Guess I'll triple dip on switch 2. How does it compare to the steam deck and other handhelds running cp2077 in a side by side by side by...?
