Well, that's kinda disappointing for what has become a fairly old game, I assume docked mode has better performance though. I remember the first edition of the game running pretty badly on PS3 and 360 as well, major stutter and fps drops and crazy loading times.
Have they confirmed the insane loading times that we heard of earlier in the Switch version?

I dont get it, what exactly is disappointing, did you actually watch video? They are very positive about game in handheld mode, saying that FPS is locked to 30 fps and no stutter at all, at 720p native. If you think that 30 FPS is disappointing, its 30FPS even on XB1 and PS4. They didn't said anything about loading times, but from video we saw that loading time are not long.

I never played Skyrim. Never saw the appeal but it came in as number one on Game Informer's top 100 RPGs of all time. I'll grab it if there's anything else I'm playing on the Switch at the time.

Eh?  You can play it on Xbox with mods.  Mods can take this from a good game into a great game.  For example:

With VR support on PS4 and mod support on Xbox, a simple choice keeps getting harder and harder...

Pull a Tomb Raider Legend.

You already know that wasting money on video games doesn't bother you, so the worst case scenario (that you don't like the game) will have you merely shrug your shoulders.

Looks like he can level up from double dipping to tripple dipping.

Tomb Raider Legend. Now there's a game I haven't purchased in a while...but I'm turning over a new leaf starting now! Right after I purchase Tomb Raider Legend for Gameboy Advance..

Do you lie that bad all the time or just when you think it will score you points and high fives?

So, it's the remaster and runs in portable mode at a solid 30 fps.  Sounds great.

 

By the way, for those bitching that's it's only 720p, the screen itself is 720p.  You won't ever see a game running a higher res in portable mode.

Were you not around these forums during the "NX" days?

There were plenty of users making the wildest of claims, including, but not limited to: NX more powerful than PS4 and XB1, NX will have VR, Red Dead 2 will be announced for the NX, 3rd party parity with the XB1 and PS4, etc.

Maybe research a bit before calling someone a liar imho.

 

OT: 

 

Will be curious as to how many sales Skyrim can pull at this point. I'm thinking my toaster will get a Skyrim version before the next Elder Scrolls is out :/

Post your sources. I don't remember any of this either.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I'm genuinely amazed they are still peddling Skyrim, like surely everyone who wants this game has this game by now?

oh.... 'member when the NX was supposed to be more powerful than the PS4 + being a portable??

I 'member....

not more powerful than Ps4, but still, stop scratching old wounds, I got over it :P

looks great, if the motion controls are good enough I'll buy it along with a Switch :D
but that means I must say goodbye to the businessman I set up spending more than 40 hours on the PC :/



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

No, no one does because no one who was reasonably discussing  the Switch/NX actually thought that. Please don't resort to this type of discussion.

relax, just having a bit of fun :)

 

apparently I'm not the only one who 'members :D

Having "fun" by baiting people with an off topic comment that has nothing with the topic? Ok . 

But yeah, I do remember it. Those were the dark times

Anyways, Bethesda I believe to be a very shitty developer, though they are very good at publishing. It's cool to see this game will be nice and available for Switch owners who want it. But I sure as hell am not buying it again.
