crispy4000 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Sounds like larger framerate issues are mainly in transitions between world map sections, and the swamp. Not perfect, but shouldn't ruin the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wait until Black Friday if you want deeper 1st party deals. Not for the newest stuff though. if I keep it thats my plan. im also still a BB platinum member, although sadly my GCU unlocked. but as a platinum i get the black friday deal like a week early and they are always really good. ill probably grab a few games then there is also this deal on slickdeals.net where i can get up $20 off games. So I could get Mario and Octopath or Mario Kart for around $80bux. not great but not terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just a ton of content and replayability in it. You can look into Mario & Rabbids too. When that goes on sale, it's $20 (or $26 with DLC). It followed Ubisoft pricing, not Nintendo pricing. Just to mention it, I instantly regretted purchasing Slay the Spire on PC after getting around to it. Because that game is perfect for Switch. If you do keep your system and see an eShop sale, I'd highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have beaten the entirety of Xenoblade 2 and DQXI however. Those are worth every penny. Xenoblade 2's been down to $40 before. You don't need to start with the first. Though that's coming too ... ... and I'd recommend ahead of those once its out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can sometimes drop from 60/fps to 30. It doesn't seem to drop any further than that. I'm actually surprised they didn't just lock it at 30 and be done with it. It doesn't seem like that would have been a big deal, especially with Link, himself, being directionally locked like he was on the Gameboy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The game is a disaster in terms of performance in certain spots, fairly predictable, but also at random on top of that? It frankly makes no sense and if I had to guess I'd chalk it up to streaming data or something over raw power, as the frame rate will shoot right back up after a couple seconds... Come to think of it, maybe it's some weird vsync issue? Like the load makes the frame dip for a second, which causes a multi second disaster as the vsync drops to 30 then back up? It theoretically seems patch-able based on what little I've seen and my laymen's understanding, but it's still shameful considering the 3DS pulled off 60 FPS in 3D for crying out loud with Link Between Worlds, which honestly aside from some specular highlights to make things look a little clay like and a blatant abuse of tilt shift, looked pretty damn similar to this game in many ways. In 2013. On a handheld even older than that. While rendering the game twice. On a system half the Switch's size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read it a combination of the Vsync method and the system memory usage as it effects the data streaming. Edit: to be clear the memory issue appears to be a memory leak.

Chris- Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hm, from what it sounds like, the framerate is only an issue if you're a huge fuckin' nerd. Thankfully I'm not a dweeb like the rest of you, so I don't foresee any framerate issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Considering I've fallen into holes and been hit by enemies during frame drops as the game becomes unresponsive and literally drops inputs, I'm gonna say the performance is going to be an issue for just about anyone. These are not tiny hiccups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a physical copy but from what I've read/watched, the worst of the FPS effects happen on a physical copy or when placed digitally on an SD Card. Only a digital copy on internal memory seems to run smoother, and it still hitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
