severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS
I'm not sure how being capped at 30 FPS should change any of those. Probably they went too ambitious with texture resolutions, etc. Which explains 53 GB AND the need to cap it at 30 FPS. And 30 FPS probably has MORE input lag than 60 FPS as most things only get polled every 33.333 ms instead of 16.666 (both repeating of course)
How can't it run a 14 year old game?
Bethesda special ability. How'd they get a 14 year old game almost 60G
4k textures that crash the game
"It just works!"
As in it just barely is functional at all.
Why is everyone bashing Nintendo for this? I mean I get it that Nintendo is not to be liked, but this is clearly Bethesda's fault. They did a fast and cheap port and failed hard with it.
Bethesda, you have ported this game to fucking PS3, how do you fuck it up this badly?
Lots of Switch 2 ports have had problemd. My MIL had to stop playing Tales From the Shire because it kept wiping her progress.
If only there was another way to play Skyrim
_______ ships to Switch 2 with _____ issues seems t be pretty common.
How much do you want to bet this is emulated
Wasn't this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.
Honestly, I'm kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn't been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They've had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of "$80 for a game ensures we can continue to deliver quality" is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.
I was over the switch 2 when i saw the the bare switch OS only had minor changes. Consoles are PCs without choice, but that is actually fine by me if they provide a fun experience not only in but outside of games as well.
It’s frustrating that a small number of really good franchises are locked into the Nintendo bullshit business model.
Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda, Mario, and a couple of other series running on Steam Deck without the emulation nonsense would make me tremendously happy.
wanna know something funny? I emulate totk on my steam deck. I stopped playing it on original switch because the load times on steam deck are speedy compared to on original switch.
I'm sure Totk runs fine on switch 2 if you pay 25 bucks for extra frames on a game you already paid 70 dollars for. but i don't want to buy a console just for that.
but I do wish there was a future where nintendo would allow it on different platforms.
they won't. ever. but it'd be cool.
Nintendo's legal department wants to know your location
Catch me if you can, cunts.
I quit Nintendo ages ago. As a company, they're assholes. Then they want to charge $50 for a game that's 5 years old and 2 generations behind in graphics. Just can't hold a candle to PC or even the other consoles. The only thing they have left is like 4 game IP's
Nintendo has made it extremely easy to boycott the Switch 2 so far. They're hell-bent on releasing mid new games and tons of Switch 2 versions of Switch 1 games and acting as if they're new. I'm a big fan of Nintendo's games (well, I was, at this point) and the only exclusive Switch 2 one I have any interest in is Donkey Kong Bananza after the console being out for 6 months. That's abysmal. At this rate there will only be a few Switch 2 games released over its entire lifespan that I'll even want to bother emulating eventually.
If you haven’t already bought a switch 2, just get a Steam Deck if you want another handheld.
Valve also won’t remotely brick your entire device if they think you got an unlicensed cartridge.
In fact, you can emulate every other console with pirated ROMs without anyone batting an eye
So, par for the course for Bethesda then?
They really do have a habit of just barely making it work on every platform, no matter how powerful.
And they're STILL charging $60 bucks for this fuckin game? Todd it's been over a decade bro
The year is 2064. The world outside is fire and riots.
A new life is brought into the world, the hospital lights flicker. The doctor, dirty and worn out, pushes the new parents a form on a battered clipboard.
"Congratulations to you both, now please sign this release to bring your baby home, but not before you designate which formats of Skyrim your child will inherit, please understand this is not optional, and we no longer take Bitcoin to pay the mandatory $60 Skyrim Fee, so please use cash, credit or ration cards to pay."
... How do you fuck this up?
Sell product based on IP and brand name while delivering the bare minimum of product. Nintendo's MO for 10+ years now
The original switch was for me a 300$ indie machine. I have no idea what niche is this console supposed to fill.
The niche of "I have to play the latest Legend of Pokemario game and nothing else will do"
Even Intel Iris Xe can play Skyrim (Special Edition) at ~45 FPS.
Is skyrim the new doom?
Nobody is paying Todd to play Room on their Washing Machine
Room
Best game ever.
Oh hai Mark
damn near 2026 and new releases are still shipping with a 30hz target lmao
The bigger issue is this game is 15 years old now. Modern hardware should crush this.
The labor cost though, it's at an all time lo... Wait no that's gone up... What are they even doing?
Something like business metrics being measured in board salary $/frame-hour?
