I know you guys are having a fit, buuuuuut I do want to say that Dragon's Dogma is a great, but very ugly game ( like don't even think you are going to create a character that you like, just put a helmet or a mask on and let it go). Really, ya'll should try it anyways

Yeah, that is the best explanation. The statement itself is either wrong or indicates a bad practice, but probably this guy didn't mean it very serious to begin with.

As I say it again and again: as a developer I can assure you, that compilers take care of different architectures these days without any problem. What you probably need though is the engine it is running on. That Switch got with Unity and Unreal the two most important engines has certainly a positive effect on ports (compared with WiiU, which didn't got Unreal).

The second part though is more relevant. Yes, with lesser power you have to gimp assets or effects. Not super difficult though, but you have to put some resources into it.

The most important part is left out by you: cartridges. Cartridges hold a lot less memory than optical discs. Optimitzing assets for that is a pain in the ass. Again not impossible, but this actually needs effort and time (and therefore money).

Is Fatslob-:O trolling or is he serious? It is pretty clear the says if they buy Dragons Dogma, they may port DMC5 to Switch. Which is asinine when every game they've release for Switch has met or exceeded expectations. If port the game or don't. Stop with this test bullshit. They did this crap on Wii and never followed through,the user base finally wised up and stopped buying it.

I know it has nothing to do with your point, but Dragon's Dogma is a very hack n slash heavy action RPG.

This vid is short, and focuses mostly on someone who is maining a fighter with a longsword, but there are a few bits of ranged combat and magic users too. I was a dual knife wielder main/ secondary acher, which was even more frenetic than most of what you see here. You can even climb onto the larger creatures, which can get crazy.

It's Fatslob being Fatslob.

Screw you, Capcom. Keep crapping on one of your most loyal customer base...

Dragon's Dogma being great isn't the point, and since you read the thread you should know why.

Ah, the good ol' Nintendo Test. I haven't missed you. Honestly, has this ever been a good PR move? Like, if you are still pulling this shit, just don't say anything.

Not really anything like DMC though it would be like comparing Deus Ex and COD because they both have shooting elements.
