I have some 10 hours on this on the Switch and aside from a couple stutters I've yet to come across a single technical issue like some are documenting. I really don't think performance is bad at all.
Weird how some equate SV being in the same genre as Harvest Moon as a ripoff but this game quite possibly ripping off assets wholesale is okay? Like, you can see some of the plants/vegetables in the video above and they are 100 percent identical to the turnips in SV.
@Link-Hero As a non-native speaker it would be difficult for me to tell when the voice acting is good versus when it's just ordinary. I'd have no idea what words or phrases are being emphasized just by reading along so I'm not sure that would be a solution for me. Might work for others but I wouldn't say it's quite so simple for all.
@Link-Hero If the a English dub isn't up to someone's standards why should the only option then be to switch to Japanese, especially if the person playing doesn't speak Japanese? I think the voice acting is fine from what I've heard but it's not asking too much for the quality of the English dub to match the Japanese.
Absolutely haaaaaaaaaate the font choice in the dialogue boxes but yeah, this game looks incredible otherwise, especially that first video in the west.
Brilliant game. The "80 percent dialogue" thing is kind of nonsensical to me, it hardly has any more dialogue than your standard RPG and it's only natural to set the table with exposition to begin the game.
Can't put this game down. Finding the complaints that it's too much reading to be pretty laughable considering it's on par with most of the other AAA RPGs that have picked up industry acclaim. It's really nothing too unreasonable.
@OldMcGroin I don't think it'd at all be unreasonable to say they did more to advance their franchises in terms of mechanics, look, world, etc. than Elden Ring appears to be doing relative to the Souls games.
@BLD You know your entire premise goes out the window once you realize that's it's possible to own both a PS and a Switch and be aware of the features of games on either console? I swear, some of you that complain about console wars and fanboys are really the ones trying to speak it into existence when it's not nearly as much of a thing as you want to believe it is.
@Dissident I mean, yeah you would see it there. I'm active there, I've posted that this game doesn't do anything for me and there definitely are a handful of others that agree. Nothing to do with the console.
I mean, it's another Souls game. It's probably excellent and was obviously made with care and by competent people, but it's still another Souls game at the core of it. Revolutionary? I guess I just don't see it. Glad folks enjoy it though.
How someone can pay $60 from an extremely established dev for a game that they'll be looking at for 25+ hours and say what they're looking at doesn't matter and shouldn't be a priority is beyond me. I'm not saying this game needs to be PS5-level but this is just straight-up ugly and looks unfinished at points.
Waited desperately for this game and it turned out to be maybe my biggest disappointment of the year due to the load times. Credit to the team for addressing it when they could've just abandoned it.
League is my most played game ever but as the 30s dulled my reaction time I thought I had put it away for good forever. Now it seems I gotta pick this up and get right back into the time sink that is this world.
Absolutely LOVE this game. Visually one of my favorites on the Switch and totally nails the entire Indiana Jones vibe and aesthetic. It's nothing complex but I just praise it enough.

Re: Cult Of The Lamb Shepherds In 1 Million Sales In Just One Week
Loving every minute of it. I genuinely still haven't had any of the technical issues others are facing.
Re: Review: Cult Of The Lamb - Animal Crossing Goes Bad In This Satisfyingly Stressful Sim
I have some 10 hours on this on the Switch and aside from a couple stutters I've yet to come across a single technical issue like some are documenting. I really don't think performance is bad at all.
Re: Review: Two Point Campus - A Beautifully Balanced Sim That's More 'Friend' Than 'Fiscal'
I found hospital to be pretty overwhelming as it went on but the university setting is so appealing that I'd be willing to give this one a shot too.
Re: "Cozy Indie RPG" Bound By Blades Is Bringing Crafting And Combat To Switch
Anyone else hear the Octopath Traveler main theme when watching this video?
Re: More Tactics Ogre: Reborn Details Leak Online, Is A Switch Release Coming?
It'll 100 percent release on the Switch as well, we all know this.
Re: Review: Live A Live - A Brilliantly Faithful Remake Of A Unique And Influential JRPG
I thought both Octopath and Triangle were 10/10, very excited for this one.
Re: 'South Of The Circle' Brings Firewatch-Style Narrative Drama To Switch Soon
Looks fantastic, absolutely picking this up.
Re: Square-Enix Shares The Final Trailer For RPG Remake Live A Live
Hey did you guys know that this releases one week before Xenoblade 3? Not many people know that.
Re: Sea Of Stars Shares In-Depth Look At Chrono Trigger-Inspired Combat
This might be the best looking game in the works.
Re: The DioField Chronicle Launches Worldwide This September, Pre-Orders Live
Huh. Judging by that image I was hoping for another HD-2D so this is kind of a bummer.
Re: Get Nostalgic With 'RPG Time: The Legend Of Wright', Out This August
Wow, this actually looks incredible. What a creative concept and delivery.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Launches On Switch This October
I don't love the free move mechanism, but it's still a day one buy for me.
Re: Infamous Stardew Valley-Inspired 'Super Zoo Story' Gets New Trailer
Weird how some equate SV being in the same genre as Harvest Moon as a ripoff but this game quite possibly ripping off assets wholesale is okay? Like, you can see some of the plants/vegetables in the video above and they are 100 percent identical to the turnips in SV.
Re: 'Lost Ruins' Brings Stunning Pixel Art And Survival Action To Switch Today
Looks nice but that standing still animation and the attack animation are both absolutely terrible.
Re: Video: Just What Is The Best Super Mario Game Of All Time?
Boy, I must be a filthy casual because for me it's comfortably SMO followed by either Galaxy.

Re: 'Gunbrella' Is a Noir-Punk Adventure From The 'Gato Roboto' Dev
Maybe the only thing I enjoyed today, looks pretty nice.
Re: Two Point Campus Reveals Wizardry Course, Open For Admissions At Launch
Looks fun but man, as much as I enjoyed hospital it got really repetitive after a few hours.
Re: Shadowrun Trilogy Releases On Switch This Coming June
Loooooooove these games, can't recommend them enough.
Re: Review: Nobody Saves The World - A Thrilling Action-RPG For Fans Of Old-School Zelda
Gameplay doesn't seem like my kind of thing but just the entire look and presentation of it is enough to give it a shot. Love the pop of the colors.
Re: Digital Foundry Shares Its Tech Review Of Triangle Strategy
No performance issues that I've noticed playing solely in handheld. I really can't put this game down.
Re: Majora's Mask Meets Sunless Sea In Haunting Narrative Game 'A Place For The Unwilling'
Oh god, hard yes. Sunless Sea is such a stupidly great game that doesn't get nearly enough attention. This looks fantastic.
Re: Triangle Strategy Has Sold 800,000 Copies In Just Two Weeks
Brilliant game. The "80 percent dialogue" thing is kind of nonsensical to me, it hardly has any more dialogue than your standard RPG and it's only natural to set the table with exposition to begin the game.
Re: Nintendo Provides Ten Useful Tips For Triangle Strategy
Can't put this game down. Finding the complaints that it's too much reading to be pretty laughable considering it's on par with most of the other AAA RPGs that have picked up industry acclaim. It's really nothing too unreasonable.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Strategy Games
This is probably my favorite genre and I'm pleasantly surprised at the selection the Switch offers. Triangle Strategy so far has been impeccable.
Re: Review: Triangle Strategy - Square Enix Plots A Total Tactical Triumph
God, yes. I've been refreshing like crazy hoping for a good review, this does the job. Cannot wait for launch.
Re: Feature: From Chrono Trigger To Super Mario RPG, The Varied Influences Of Sea Of Stars
One of the most visually appealing games I've seen on the Switch.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For March And April 2022
Stupidly excited for Triangle Strategy.
Re: Random: Elden Ring And Mario Odyssey Jostle For No. 1 On OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
@OldMcGroin I don't think it'd at all be unreasonable to say they did more to advance their franchises in terms of mechanics, look, world, etc. than Elden Ring appears to be doing relative to the Souls games.
Re: Good Smile Releasing New Atelier Ryza 2 Swimsuit Figure, Pre-Orders Now Available
I'm sorry, what? Did I hallucinate what I just read?
Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List

Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
@PhhhCough Who here who has shown disinterest in this game has demanded another Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc. game?
Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
@Dissident I mean, yeah you would see it there. I'm active there, I've posted that this game doesn't do anything for me and there definitely are a handful of others that agree. Nothing to do with the console.
Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
@Dissident Who here is making it about consoles?
Re: Random: Elden Ring Just Dethroned Mario Odyssey At The Top Of OpenCritic's 'Best Game' List
I mean, it's another Souls game. It's probably excellent and was obviously made with care and by competent people, but it's still another Souls game at the core of it. Revolutionary? I guess I just don't see it. Glad folks enjoy it though.
Re: Team17 CEO Says "Action Will Be Taken" Following Negative Report
Wow, they talked for a WHOLE 20 minutes?
Oh wait, the report states "around" 20 minutes. Yeah, really seems like this is all being taken very seriously.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For February And March 2022
TriStrat, baby.
Re: Square Enix Showcases More Triangle Strategy Features In New Trailer
This game can't arrive soon enough.
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Raises The Question - How Much Do Janky Graphics Matter?
How someone can pay $60 from an extremely established dev for a game that they'll be looking at for 25+ hours and say what they're looking at doesn't matter and shouldn't be a priority is beyond me. I'm not saying this game needs to be PS5-level but this is just straight-up ugly and looks unfinished at points.
Of course what your eyeballs are seeing matters.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus - One Of The Greatest Pokémon Games Ever Made
Seeing a lot of Pokemon fans here having a totally normal one at the mere mention of this game having even the slightest of flaws.
Anyway. Looks interesting, good score.
Re: Awesome Triangle Strategy Trailer Introduces Frederica And New Gameplay
Barely touched my Switch since nabbing a PS5 but this game will be the exception.
Re: Hands On: 'Infernax' Blends The Best Of Zelda II And Castlevania II While Skipping The Flaws
Hmm, the buzzwords really sold me on it. Might give them my money.
Re: Triangle Strategy Gets Its First Character & Story Trailer
Instant purchase for me. Really liked the demo.

Re: Review: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story - A Brilliant Experience Beyond Its Franchise
@Kulhy Don't let visual style turn you off, League has some exceptionally developed and written lore, whether it be character or world.
Re: Review: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story - A Brilliant Experience Beyond Its Franchise
League is my most played game ever but as the 30s dulled my reaction time I thought I had put it away for good forever. Now it seems I gotta pick this up and get right back into the time sink that is this world.
Re: Triangle Strategy Gets A Snazzy New Trailer
I mean, day one buy at full price but even by fantasy standards these are some truly and hilariously nonsensical character names.
Re: Tomb-Raiding Pixel Art Game 'Pathway' Is Getting A Physical Edition
Absolutely LOVE this game. Visually one of my favorites on the Switch and totally nails the entire Indiana Jones vibe and aesthetic. It's nothing complex but I just praise it enough.
