Really weird, but it's worth to notice that the Switch version runs at 3Ofps in all areas, with occasional drops of 3 to 5 frames, has textures with smaller resolutions on both objects and shadows, less filters for reflections,and is completely devoid of ambient occlusion.

While the XONE version runs at 30fps in external areas and 60fps (with drops) in internal areas, besides presenting all the effects mentioned above as well as higher object/shadows textures. But in th...

@EddieNX Sorry, but the Switch is nowhere near the XONE in terms of raw power. A Tegra X1 GPU can at best offers 0.512 Teraflops and that is running at 1000MHz, the one that equips the Switch runs at 768MHz (Docked) according to DF and Arstechnica, so it will offer a little less than that.

While the XONE GPU offers 1.3 Teraflops (or 1.4 in the S model). So in GPU alone, the Switch is far less powerful if we take into consideration other important factors like CPU/Memory Spe...

That's true if you are a plat that does not mean that 50% of the player are better than you, just means that you are part of the 50% that sucks at the game.

Well, you're not wrong.
Half of the Overwatch player base sucks (plats and below), so yeah, half of the Mercy players sucks as well as half of every other character player.

Why not both?
By supporting the shady business of G2A and supporting the legitimate business of Humble Bundle, you walk the neutral route. And everybody knows that the neutral route is the best one.

I loved the artistic direction, I hope the gameplay can surprise me too.

Yes, but even taking size into consideration, the Switch is far from impressing in hardware department. So far, it's basically an Nvidia Tegra TV with a touch screen, with the only differences being the slightly low cpu/gpu clock on the Switch (docked) and an extra 1GB of RAM.

And keep in mind, that the Nvidia set-top box was released almost two years ago.

In fact it has 0.512 GFlops. This is a fairly common mistake, the Maxwell GPU features 1TFlops only when used in "half-precision floating-point format" or FP16. Games are made using "single-precision floating-point format" or FP32 and in this condition, this GPU delivers only 0.512GFlops in its default configuration.

According to this "leak" the Nintendo Switch is basically a portable version of the Nvidia Tegra Android TV.

Yes, it's a full price game ($59.99).
This has been confirmed by the Nintendo's official website, so far, the only first-party title that will not be sold at full price is "1-2-Switch" ($49.99).

Yes, it is a direct port of the PS Vita version with all the censorship intact. And since the modifications were made to the "core" of the game and there is no uncensored version for computers released anywhere in the world, the chances of a restoration patch are quite small.

About the game. The characters are poorly developed, as is the story that suffers with a lifeless world. But in terms of gameplay it turns out to be a decent hack and slash RPG, with some platform sections that might bother some and with bosses that offer an interesting challenge.

The campaign duration is decent, in my case it took me a little over 15 hours to finish it and there are optional content that extends the life of the game. In the end, for the price of the basic ...

I loved the artistic style of this "notgame". But I do not think it's an experience that I would enjoy.

Still I hope to try it sometime.

Because some people were offended by this and from the point of view of a company it is better to apologize and calm this group of "potential buyers" than to ignore the situation.

"It may be that my settings helped..."

Without Barbarians.
No military victory.
King difficulty.
Island map.

No wonder that not a single unit died, there was literally nothing to kill them.

In the first five minutes of gameplay, this title already makes it clear that was not meant for the faint of heart.

Well, if this new console comes to use the same philosophy that Nintendo normally uses for portable devices, then it is almost certain that we will have a more powerful version of the console in a few years. Considering only the recent past (last decade), Nintendo had two portable consoles and both of them in some point received a new and more powerful version (DS - DSi; 3DS - N3DS).

They are allowed but there is not much to do in this event if you are not part of that community and/or care about the "issues that affects them". Most of the panels are focused on the LGBT agenda, with stuff like "safe spaces" or "why your games don't need white cis males", etc....

Not a bad event in any way, but it is too restricted in their goal and this ultimately affects the number of people interested in it.

If they launch this game in a decent state and actually use this extra time to optimize the PC version, I think there is no reasson to complaining about the delay. But if after these two weeks, they deliver a poorly optimized console port (like the first game) you can be sure that they will not see my money anytime soon.

Good points, price really is an important factor in deciding between these games and the fact that it is a sequel will probably attract some players. But for me this genre already has too many representatives and apparently will get even more next year, something I truly believe is not very compatible with a niche market like this.
