@NinNin im playing on Ultra violence on arcade mode right now. There is definitely a noticeable slowdown. Feels like the FPS is between 18-25 during heavy fights.
@JaxonH my problem with your suggestion of playing it on easy is that the replaybility and end game of doom is playing it on a progression of harder difficulty on arcade mode. Right now im playing ultra violence and the slow down is very noticeable, like FPS on the teens level. What more on nightmare
@RedYoshi999 i dont know about Australia but the price im seeing in most retailers are still 60 usd. So with a 32 gb card i guess it would be probable around 80$?
@adh56 that is an unfair comparison, you can separate the multiplayer of doom and its single player because it has separate assets and essentially an entirely different game. But how can you cut of pieces of WWE or NBA since the single and multiplayer is basically the same. Same with LA noir, how can you separate that like doom? Make the second half downloadble and the first half in the cart? If you do that thenyou will you still have the same whining snowflakes say that the game will no longer be playable after 10 yrs blah blah blah.
@cfgk24 You can buy packs ofcourse with either ingame earned gold or real money but you can get or craft any cards without paying anything. You can even buy the signle player adventures using ingame gold. The only thing unique you can buy for real money are cosmetic heroes.
@cfgk24 play2win? Every game is play2win or are you saying pay2win. Hearthstone is not Pay2win, im currently at rank 2 and i havent payed anything. Managed to even reach legend 2 seasons ago with my druid
@Ricube @Bender1001 hmmm maybe you just dont have a PC background or are still very young. They are one of the most respected PC game developers out there mainly focusing on 4x type of games.
I dont understand why this is a big deal??? Its a 4 yr old game and one that has issues to begin with. Are nintendo gamers that starved for third party games?
Im here in Japan for about two weeks now,( vacation and gunpla competition) And honestly aside from lunch day, it seems that theres not that much buzz anymore for the switch, stores are back to showcasing PS4, 3ds and vitas. This is anecdotal but my nephews who live here aren't even talking about it.,
@setezerocinco the main culprits for memory usage are the textures and the sound. Considering that BOTW isnt that graphically intensive and i assume doesn't have a lot of voiced dialogue then its not hard to believe that it at 13 gb
@Smug43 i manage to run Skyrim:RE on my old GTX 570, for context i bought that card in 2011. Skyrim isnt really a resource hog of a game so you cant use it to justify the switchs power,
(im not saying its weak, im just saying that Skyrim is not an indicator of capability)
Just an observation: being relatively new to Nintendo gaming i find it interesting that there are so little interest for simulation games among nintendo fans.
I see a lot of people saying that 3rd parties should give more effort and build a fan base on Nintendo platforms. The thing is, 3rd parties are just exploring new avenues for revenue. They dont really need Nintendo fans considering they do well enough with sony and microsoft. The realty is that sales from Nintendo system are viewed by 3rd parties as meer bonuses. If they dont sell enough games, its ok they can just shrug it off. So they dont really need to build any fanbase or to put ny further effort than what they are currently giving.
@faint again the price is acceptable if you are looking at the switch in a vacuum or you place a high ptemium on portability but when you compare it to other consoles which has more power, games and are much cheaper then you will find it unacceptable.
@faint yes it is an acceptable launch price IF it launched alongside the competition. People look for value against other products hence the complaints.
@KirbyTheVampire yeah that may be. But regardless of the reason why, the problem of mid gen launch still haunts them. They need to find a way to sync their releases with the competitors.
@faint during the launch? Value wise, yes and no. Wiiu was cheaper and had more games during the launch of the Xbone and PS4 but the public already percieved the WiiU as a floundering console at the time so it has a percieved lesser value. You cant really compare that to the current situation where Switch is launching against successful competitors.
I thinks the main problem is Nintendo's insistence of launching mod generation consoles. If they launched besides the other consoles, the current price wouldn't have been an issue. Launching mid gen creates a situation that Nintendo cannot compete value wise against Sony and Microsoft
@Iggy-Koopa but look at the results! Its skewed towards being hyped. Its a useless poll considering that its a Nintendo fan site and the fact that people in this site are hyped should have been already been presumed. no need for a poll. Thus...pandering

Its not about comparing launch prices, its about how much value vs the price it has now compared tobthe competition.
