I am really curious to see how Doom will perform on the Switch.

I'm curious about this as well. While this is probably (and likely obtuse) an oversimplification, aren't Doom and Wolfenstein huge titles in terms of file size? I'm assuming they'd have to do something to have a playable version on a cartridge.

Switch cart version of Doom only contains single player, you have to download multi. Or not because lol.

Doom is like 80 gigs. I can only assume it will be pretty gutted on switch in general, but man I'd be lying if I said having that on portable isn't super appealing.

Why would you ever play non-Nintendo games on the Switch? All third-party games on the recent Nintendo consoles are by far, without question, the worst version of the games.

Part in bold is the only thing you need to know in order to judge the quality and target group of this game.

PUBG is not a game. It is a marketing instrument for streamers and a bad TV show for idiots who fail to understand that games are for playing yourself, not for watching other people play and donate money to them even though most of them suck at the games they stream.

Why should a streamers ability at a game determine their worth as a streamer? Is this how deeply the idea of meritocracy is ingrained in us? 🤔

Yeah if they can keep securing some level of decent third party stuff that's actually a pretty big plus imo. Not thrilled at the idea of re-buying stuff I have already bought, but playing current gen AAA stuff portable definitely has an appeal.

Well in that case he's right, obviously Doom and Wolfenstein and probably DQBuilder 1+2 will look worse in the Switch.

Yup, the Switch just uses bog-standard microSD's. There is almost zero chance the Switch versions of both DOOM and Wolfenstein II won't have big downloads even with the cart version, but I don't think it'll be quite 60-80GB though. More like maybe "merely" 30-40GB+ due to the lower resolution and system specs.

Now there's something I think would do really well on the Switch. Even with just the console alone, you've got a setup for two-player co-op anywherre.

Couldnt hang with dragons crown. All vware games have backtracking and copy paste assets but that one goes too far with it via the mission based structure and the incentive to grind loot.

Also the action is highly unreadable on screen cause its so busy with effects

Game makes a strong first impression though.

That first part is what stopped me from playing Dragons Crown too long, it seemed grindy even compared to other VW games, that's why I'm hoping they do an Odin Sphere revamp to add more variety.

Also in PS3 game port news

Yeah unless they do a Odin Sphere Leifthrasir grade improvement on the game, I'm not interested.

What drove me crazy about Dragon's Crown is they kept adding new visual options one after another to try to help the player keep track of where their character was but it was a series of bandaids over a gushing wound. The entire game was apparently designed to keep magical explosions covering the entire screen every single second.

Playing a game on the Switch while on the shitter >>> playing a game on the Vita remote play on the shitter

just for the analog sticks alone, plus the sometimes bad mapping of L1/R1 and L2/R2 to the Vita's shoulder buttons and back touch pad

I love my Switch, but you'd have to be a mouth breather to not admit that it runs games at at much lower specs and fps than you'd get out of a PS4. Because of its portability, I'd rather get things on the Switch, but with stuff like how bad DQ Heroes ran on the Switch, the PS4 is still my main console this gen.

I love magical explosions covering my entire screen in video games but yeah it was a problem and even one of the official(?) comics had a joke about it

Just search everywhere. I know that Jet.com site used to give you a % or just $30 off your first order. Most places are usually comparable for new prices unless its a glitch (like the free XBone S bundles the other day).

Used isn't a bad way to go if you don't mind an OG PS4 since people upgrade to Pro's. Just be meticulous about finding a decent listing, if they have the original box and say they upgraded to the Pro, then they probably take care of their poo poo. The goon that got my launch PS4 got everything wrapped in their original plastic and twist ties, so just find another anal person like me.

Driving while playing Skyrim is a really dumb idea. RPGs are best experienced without Fast Travel.
