Will probably launch for 50-70 bucks for 12 characters. To get the full roster you’ll have to pay 100. - Probably that kind of game. AVATAR DESERVES A GOOD GAME FOR ONCE! - Weird it’s only for Switch 2 btw! Those visuals aren’t that great…
Now I think about it, why don’t they give us the setting to charge the console through the joycons. Currently the joy cons are charged by the system. The joycons are 500MAh both. That would be another 10000.
That could pro long gaming sessions. Once you finish playing you can just charge it altogether
So, these “performance drops”… Are they from 60 to 50-40? Or below 30? Imo on this gen of hardware nothing should be below 40 fps anymore. However, for games like cyberpunk I get it. But even that has a 40fps mode
I think the game is all right. But honestly, there’s so many things in this game that make me think oh actually they could have made they say nine instead of a 6.5.
It’s just very repeating and not very memorable. I find free roam very disappointing.
@Lizuka what about turning off HDR? I will try it now. According to ChatGPT, it could turn 2h into 2.5-3h. That would be an increase of 25 to 50%. Then I wouldn’t care about HDR at all. I just want normal battery life. Three hours to me is the bare minimum. It’s also that the charging is so terribly slow that you can just pick it up later because you have to wait every time. When you charge it during playing, it won’t charge quick enough, so it will still empty itself faster than it charges. And when charging it using a power bank rather than the giant bracket has come with, it takes forever. Like five hours. It’s insane. I saw on welcome tour that the battery is really small…
Maybe a solution could be a special case with additional battery. And then you just Play portable by juicing the pro controller. Now the screen is bigger. I think that might be my new way to play. Handheld with the joycons - even the new ones - is, again, A bit uncomfortable because of the joystick being right below the buttons and you accidentally press it, which always happens to me
The game is quite fun, but honestly absolutely not worth $80. In handheld a drain system under two hours in my personal experience, which is just tremendous…
So far, I really enjoyed the system, but I was shocked by it’s horrendous battery life. Not even two hours. They must absolutely fix this.
I hope a future system update can at least improve battery by 50%. Honestly, anything under three hours is very poor.
Also, the battery takes forever to charge. On a power bank it takes like five hours. Only using the original charger it takes a little over three.
@Glasso The PS4 PRO has 4.2 Terraflops. The Switch 2 has 5c+ AI upscaling tech. So it’s at least at the same level of performance as the PS4 PRO. The PS5 got 10 Terraflops, so it will too great of a difference to compare those I think.
@F1Hornet Where can you even order or pre order cyberpunk? I keep looking for it, yet no store is offering it yes as far as I’ve been able to find (In Europe)
@N00BiSH I read that the Switch (1) has 0.5 Terraflops. The Steamdeck 1.2 and the Switch 2 has 5. That’s honestly amazing. The PS4 Pro has 4.2 I believe. So the Switch 2 version should run really well
What a poor pol. Can’t even vote something like “Nah. It’s a bad deal. I will sell it myself”. Come on. This is a terrible deal that only helps lazy people…
@The-Chosen-one only Micro SD Express card currently available is 256gb. That’s what makes this so insane. Saw they’re going to make a 1T card but it will be like 250 bucks
@Ralizah They are in the making but they will cost like 250 bucks. Crazy situation. Everything about the Switch 2 becomes totally unaffordable this way…
I wish I could get this game. But since it’s a 60gb+ download, after 3 games my Switch will be full. And there’s only 256gb express cards as well. What a ridiculous situation. I’m confused that nobody else is talking about this issue much.
Nothing truly surprising in this whole direct. In The Netherlands the suggested price is €89,99 ($102USD Equivalent). It’s just way too expensive. I’m sure it will be loads of fun. It’s just a scammy practice and I lose some respect for Nintendo for it.
What I don’t understand is where to even find most of the physical games, like cyberpunk 2077. It will be released physically in 7 weeks. Where is it i can’t find the product in any store. Neither Hitman or any other games besides the few we keep seeing…
I would absolutely agree with Twilite9 if it were also the other way around. We should not accept extreme right wing stuff, yet extreme left wing is more acceptable? Double standards.
Plants vs zombies 3?? How incredibly strange! They released this game like 3 years ago. They pulled it off the app store. And now they are “reworking?” it to be released again?
Well, they did make the trailer as boring as possible. It feels extremely safe. Especially that Mario Kart… At least show off one main feature or game to keep people talking… Now it feels like a corporate video. It just feels to safe. It misses that Nintendo magic. And now we have to wait another 10 weeks for the next Nintendo Direct. This means Nintendo doesn’t have any major to announce from September 24 til April 25? It’s super empty.
They better be preparing to blow us away in that direct!
I find it insane that this has been announced multiple times and every time it’s announced people act as if it is the first time it is announced. Seems like people have serious memory issues.
@Yoshi3 If it’s true, do we need to consider it a coincidence? Maybe it was well thought through. This is the good stuff. The answers lay in easter eggs. Not just with games, but also in other aspects of life. It makes life a game worthy to play haha
Due to a major bug in the game, I’ve been stuck since like day 5 I got this game. It’s been months. I just can’t play anymore! Was hoping for bug fixes. But I’m losing my hope. How ridiculous! Shall I just sell this game? Really wanted to finish it. Not going to start over. I’m like 7 hours in. Not gonna play all that again…
Trapdoor above Wak-wak tree in The Depths remains closed, with the lever stuck in pulled position after a soft reset.
HOPEFULLY this will fix my problem. I’m stuck and I can’t leave the area! Haven’t played the game for a week. I’m unable to leave the area. Got me thinking I broke the game. Apparently the game IS broken. Hopefully they ‘repair’ the broken areas. I’m unable to play since then. It’s SO WEIRD! The lever closes within a microsecond and I can’t leave. I have no boomerang tool for the elevator on the other side. I’m literally stuck and unable to play…
@Peirceroyal I played this game a huge lot on my Nintendo DS (Which accepted Gameboy Advanced games). I loved it so much. When they announced this, I didn’t realize it was the same game. Once I found out I was so happy.
Good they’re selling it for €50 and not €60. And also, great to see it has lots of new content!
@Paulo Or the next system may be a SNW (Super Nintendo Switch) which can play all Switch games but upscaled or something like that. Which is why they still release so much for Switch. Its not exclusive
@HeadPirate “Sometimes you have to support the right of people to tell you to STFU.”
Yeah, no thank you. People want equal rights. But only if it fits them. That’s what you just said to me. But that’s the exact thing you’re stating here. Eh.
Also, I do not support either party (The so called “Boostered double mask wearing karen. Or the “Covid is fake, vote Trump!”)
Since I disagree with you, I must be a ‘Opposite of what you vote” lunatic or extremist.
