Respect to CDPR. This port was deemed impossible but they pulled it off incredibly well. Will be double dipping for this one.

I just got a PS4 from my brother inlaw (he upgraded to a Pro). I could get this cheaper on PS4, but I'm still gonna support those third party games on Switch. Looks good! Can't wait!

I must have been the only one watching the trailer thinking "this game looks so terrible" :/ I know the switch isn't very powerful but, the graphics look so watered down that it looks like you are playing a game where the textures haven't loaded in yet. Sorry, not impressed by this port :/

I hope this sells well, I might get it myself.

Trust me, you are not the only one.

Trust me, you are not the only one.

Yeah, not the only one.

While I think what they've managed to pull off is a feat in its own, I find this approach to porting such a terrible practice.

I know there are people around here who haven't played the game that are excited for this port, but, if you have the option, do yourself a favour and play it somewhere else if you're really interested in the game.

That's what I was thinking, there is no way I'd play this on the switch after playing it on the PS4 pro where even on that console it didn't run perfectly. Doom was a nice looking port on the switch, this unfortunately is a hard pass.

Some folks might want to play it in handheld form though.

As someone who only plays docked and has this pre-ordered, I'm fine with how it looks. I've thoroughly enjoyed games that looked worse.

Way too many compromises for me, makes no sense not playing it on another platform. Runs and looks terrible, although play on the switch if you truly wish.

I'm one of those who don't quite understand playing this type of games in handheld mode, however I do recognize there are people who want that (for whatever reason).

As for docked...as I said, if there is an option to play it somewhere else, do yourself a favour...you will like (or not) the game on its own merits either way, but this version, no matter how much devs have put effort in it, doesn't look very good.
