@jcboyer515 Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which is one of my favourite games, has caused increased theft of shiny objects. The robbers are always found to have threatened violence by throwing vegetables and shining bright lights into eyes. IT IS MADNESS.
@Rambler this is a «best of» list. If there’s a list of «worst licenses games», anything made or published by Outright games will get the dubious gold.
Sucks that these updates aren't included on the cartridge. I know it's nothing new, but for a single player game, on the one platform that's more heavily reliant on physical media, it's annoying.
Frames, hiding in the shadows. Ready to jump you, all 60 at once. Before you realize they were 60 frames hitting you, all at once, 40 of them disappear, all at once, as if they were never there. POOF!
@ZealMajin Unfortunately, this is the internet in a nutshell. Make a big claim as if it is the truth and nothing but the truth to engage followers - then hope it goes the rounds and makes a lot of noise before any contradiction can be made.
@Old_Man_Nintendo There are billions of reasons for why you shouldn’t excuse GF.
Here’s one: GTA5 ran better on PS3 and X360, less powerful hardware than Switch, while performing better in every setting you mention, than any Pokemon game has.
@DanijoEX It's not just about 30fps, it can't even hold 30fps! If the game had great art direction and graphics, by Switch standards, it being locked at 30 instead of 60 wouldn't be an issue for anyone.
At this point, it performs, looks and sounds terrible. Not like a 2022 game.
@CharlieGirl Sorry, but this logic is flawed and extremely toxic.
This is the kind of thing that has to be agreed upon in advance. Also remember that there are several voice actors who play Bayonetta in different languages. A single massive excemt from union pay, only leaves less money for other actors on the project. Fewer hours recording and lower overall quality.
If all voice actors are going to get better deals in games, that has to be done with union negotiations so that EVERYONE gets better compensation. You're also "siding" with a person who's shown to be a liar and who attackes JH out of personal spite.
If fans reward toxic behaviour, there will be people, like Hellena, trying to profit from it, for her own gain and no one elses.
Great game, BUT THIS PORT SUCKS. Play it on anything else. I'd rather play my original 360 copy than this crap. This video shows off terrible performance, in the 20s of frames, even when there's not a lot going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38wFhoh8nfE&t
@LittIeZ If you're a Switch player, you've already given them more money than they could've ever hoped for. Why spend the money fixing it, when the money is already banked?
@Truegamer79 Odyssey at 60 fps feels great. Galaxy on 3d all stars is also 60. Sunshine on the same collection is 30 and feels horrible because of it.
This is not a platformer though, so 30 might be passable for some. The art direction and flow of the game was designed with it in mind. In the first Mario Rabbids this worked more than fine. They've pushed the performance and graphics as far as they could without it having an impact on gameplay.
@CharlieGirl What are they worth, though? In anything artistic that isn't a full time job that is highly subjective. Even what she said, even if it was lying, it was MUCH HIGHER than what her union, has as standards.
No, but playing Bayonetta 1 and 2 suddenly appeared further back in my to-do list. I'd like to know more about the subject of pay and compensation standards in general. It's important for the future of games.
@Rykdrew While I would've wanted more content, it's plenty of fun for the price, especially if you're a competitive person who enjoys playing online. Have a friend/partner to play with locally versus the online havoc? If so, worth it.
@mariomaster96 Will probably do the same, if the system is ever made easily available here in the cold north. Good to see the game runs well on Switch, though.
@Dr_Luigi and not updating the framerate, or camera. I enjoyed the game, playing it 100% for the first time in 3d all star, but later finding out that emulating it is a way better experience, sucks.
@Wexter Part of a voice actor's job is also auditioning for a million different things and not getting the role. They're paid more per hour for that very reason.
@EdwardElric Yeah, the statement towards Jennifer Hale was really weird, and doesn't do Hellena Taylor any favors. It's okay to be angry towards your employer/former, but not attack someone who's just taking a job. The attack is oddly personal towards someone who hasn't done her any wrong.

@Piyo Performance issues in Bethesda console games are a feature. It was a pain on those consoles, as well.
On PC, fans and modders always fix Bethesda games for each other.

Poverty causes desperate and terrible acts.

Crazy and sad. Niche standalone stores like this are great in a world filled with massive chains and warehouses.

Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?
If you could sub for a month or two, the answer would be yes. At this point, the value has dried up, as there’s nearly nothing new being added.
The service needs bigger and more frequent content drops. A new «rom» game per month and some Mario kart courses every 4 months is as dry as it gets.

Re: Hands On: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Performance Distracts From Neat New Features And Flourishes
@DanijoEX That's your choice, and I'm afraid that's one of the reasons we'll keep getting crap, because people like you will buy anything.
I will not purchase, and haven't purchased any of the Pokemon games on Switch. I've borrowed and played at least a few hours of each.

@EdwardElric Yeah, the statement towards Jennifer Hale was really weird, and doesn't do Hellena Taylor any favors. It's okay to be angry towards your employer/former, but not attack someone who's just taking a job. The attack is oddly personal towards someone who hasn't done her any wrong.
