Anyone played KOTOR on Switch yet? I kind of want to pick up something chill to play between SMT V sessions, and KOTOR will scratch that itch as long as the port is alright.

I have been informed that some goons have falsely posted that FF8's story is bad.

I am here to clarify that this is false; FF8 is, in fact, a good story.

I had that happen a few times, the problem is in the right one, it's not connecting to the switch properly. Blow some duster on the rail connection and do a joycon firmware update and see what that does

I ended up putting it to sleep and then left it alone for a while

Now it works again and I've no idea why....

Every FF game has lames and FF8 is a bit stiff compared to 7 or 9 but the setting and art design makes it worth it. Wish they'd kept the materia though.

I did use the cheats a bit too, no shame in cheating on switch edition when you need to move things along.

Again a very likpatous story
FF8 can't have the worst story in the history of video games because Ephemeral Fantasia exists.

Agrias120 posted:

I ended up liking Voice of Cards, but not enough to get the other endings. The menu loading/lag got kind of unbearable by the end of the game, hopefully it was only a Switch thing.

I got all four endings but I wish the game would let you save right before the final boss instead of making you go through his speech and all that poo poo every time you want to get a new ending. I guess they didn't want people to save themselves into an unwinnable situation since you can't leave the room after you trigger his speech, but there are better ways to prevent that. Like having an autosave, which...it did, so the problem was already solved and there was no reason to prevent saving after the speech.

Switch up reviewed the port and say it's good, with a couple of annoyances(rare instance of text boxes being TOO BIG instead of too small), runs around 40-50 fps most of the time but with good frame pacing so there isn't much stutter.

Yeah this is more or less the entire reason I didn’t do them all.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
yay finally playing SMTV!

Hmm...the battles seem to be missing a bit of a visceral "pop" at least in handheld. Sound effects sound kinda meh, hitting weak points doesn't feel "juicy," the extra turn icorns are kinda weird and the overall flow seems a little slow/soft especially compared to SMT4 or punching idiots in the face in Nocturne

extremely minor quibbles for what I'm sure is going to be an amazing RPG but yeah kinda underwhelming in that regard. I'll try n see if docked is any better

The world itself looks decent but kinda blurry handheld, and there are random fps drops. It's fine for an RPG but I wouldn't say it runs silky smooth

Yeah, I have a Lite so only handheld for me and I found myself wondering if it was even hitting 720p or if it was just aggressively filtered. Still, the game is pretty except that bit and it also rules

they're barely acceptable. only buy if you're a superfan and are willing to put up with bad performance and occasionally-good-but-mostly-bad graphics to have them on switch. otherwise just reinstall (or pirate if you don't own them) the original pc ports and mod to your taste

definitely not. doom, the witcher 3, and saints row 3 look and run better than this. dark souls, borderlands and asscreed 4 stick a solid 720p30 in handheld mode. burnout paradise is 720p60. gta3 is like, 600p20-30 and looks worse than all of those. it's bad
