For a franchise that earns as much as Pokémon, the technical state of these games is honestly ridiculous. I understand players enjoy them, but they could look and perform way better.
This game has little in common with the original Poirot. I understand that the developers want to make it more accessible to a modern audience, but I’m not sure if that might end up being counterproductive for the die-hard Poirot fans - and there’s quite a few of them. I haven’t yet decided whether I’ll buy the game. I canceled my preorder after watching the trailer. Maybe I’ll wait for a discount.
Does it run at 30fps or 60fps? I’d appreciate it if the game had a performance mode with 60fps and lower graphics. I don’t think I want to play new games at 30fps in 2025. Not even on the Switch.
If the new controller has a headphone jack, I hope it will have better sound quality than the DualSense, which is absolutely unusable for this purpose.
@Herna You're not the only one in the world who didn't like BOTW. I feel the same way.
BOTW is a boring experience for me, I'm not able to play it for extended periods of time. TOTK looks even worse because it has a craft system. It moves away from the original Zelda design and I just don't like this direction.
They don't own the rights to the music do they? Nintendo owns the music. And nintendo doesn't want it on someone else's youtube channel. It's perfectly fine.
In Splatoon 1 I have 700 hours, in Splatoon 2 I have 3400 hours. I'm a hard fan so I'm really looking forward to S3. I'm not interested in the story mode, I never enjoyed it and Salmon Run is very boring. I only enjoy ranked (I'm X rank in all mods) and sometimes league is fun too, when quality players get together. My only request for S3 is to improve matchmaking, because the western lobbies are ridiculously bad, I would appreciate a more challenging X rank for players. And option to turn off the music would be very nice.
First of all, I wouldn't care about the working conditions of the developers. Nobody cares about the working conditions of shop workers when they go to buy food, nobody cares about the working conditions of flight engine designers or fridge repairers. We are the customers and we have money to pay. I'm sorry, I don't care that someone was harassed or worked overtime, that's for companies to deal with. I want to pay money for great products, that's all. Nobody cares about my feelings at work either and that's fine. Because if an employee is unhappy, they should find another job or try another company. Game developers are employees just like everyone else.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
