Correct but the sound is extremely important as well. I was just saying why Dark Souls on Switch isn't objectively better than the PS3 version.

But fact is that objectively is better than PS3 version, higher resolution and much better frame rate (no 10 FPS dips any more) vs worse sound, is objectively better version of game.

Graphics and sound preference differs with each person. A game like Dark Souls more heavily emphasises sound design over its graphics which were already bad by last gen console standards when it was released and its input lag tied to the framerate as the combat does not require quick reflexes like a hack and slash game. The sound is important for the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the fantastic voice acting and being aware of enemies.

The framerate isn't much better though, PS3 version holds 30fps majority of the time. Yes its lowest framerates are bad but they happen occasionally. The sounds and alpha effects on the Switch version are awful by comparison and occur through the whole game. Higher resolution is appreciated though and so is portablility.
