    The problem is people keep comparing switch to ps5, why can't we be happy that Devs can port new games to switch?

    • @Stefabeth
      @Stefabeth 7 місяців тому +17

      Agree. It's really annoying. I get that the Switch was released in 2017 and is now considered "old" for gamers who are on top of every release, but I've only had my Switch for about a couple years now. To compare it to the PS5, which came out in 2020, is odd. It's not like when the Switch 2 comes out that I'm just going to drop everything and buy it. My Switch is brand spankin' new, and it does the job. It's the same people who MUST have the latest and greatest iPhone. It's crazy.

      To me. I view the Switch is better than having a PS4 or PS5. For simply being portable. I don't view mobile as a games platform and NEVER WILL. Not the same audience nor crowd therefore should be excluded.
      Considering the Tech inside of the Switch. This game is what the Switch can when you squeeze each single ounce of blood from the stone and achieve it.

      @@MaoRattoagreed. Its a console that you can play 5 hours non-stop on the go, that is a big win for me because I’m constantly outside and not at home. The switch made gaming so much of a better experience when travelling that it just became my most used console, second which is my PS5.
      The load times for Hogwarts Legacy isn’t a dealbreaker for me, I’ve played open world games in the 90s which have the exact same loading mechanisms and it is still as enjoyable. It being on the switch is already a big win (taking into consideration the switch takes way less wattage in power compared to plug in consoles, and the whole thing fits in your hand.)

    The biggest slap in the face to switch owners is the realization of how little effort Pokémon puts into their games compared to this release. I truly believed this was going to never be released on the switch and I’m just excited to have this game on the go and brings new life to my outdated device. Great video

      When it comes to Pokemon, I'm convinced they do that on purpose. I think they make bleh graphics cuz they're selling point used to be "the next one looks nicer" Sword and Shield looks bleh, Scarlet and Violet actually looks better but runs like poo! I bet you next gen will look slightly better, run more smoothly, but still not be as nice as were expecting. And they'll keep doing that forever

    Hogwarts should be getting huge props right now tbh. I'm shooketh that it was even ported over to Switch. Granted, I might get it for my PS4 Pro, but idk... I might just get it for Switch for the portability. Not sure yet. Haven't bought the game yet on either platform. But regardless, it's SHOCKING that they were able to get this on the Switch and I think most of the AAA ports are extremely commendable. The people who make these should be seriously revered in the gaming industry because, I mean, that CAN'T be an easy feat to accomplish. Kinda like how Grove Street Games stumbled with porting GTA Trilogy HD to Switch and patched it up to a nice state... then they came back around to prove themselves and completely revamped the Ark Survival game (with all DLC and features of the other console editions) which now looks like a presentable version of the video game that runs at 30FPS and doesn't look like an oil painting with terrible pop-in anymore. Not to mention, all the amazing ports done like Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dying Light, Mud Runner, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 HD, Witcher 3, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Fortnite, Warframe, and so many other next-gen (at the time) video games that play nicely (non-cloud gaming) on "Grandma's toaster" LOL.
    I hope this game sells like hotcakes once people realize it's been released. I think it's up to people like you to spread the word about it! This video will forsure help, I believe. Nice review as always! :)

Might aswell get the version you want as still issues on the ps4. It is still an awesome game and 1000% recommend. I will probably buy it on switch early next year for the portability. Get the version you want to play on its really not gona be a huge difference to your experience. I think it does still look great on switch and as others said it kinda look like a ps3 game.

      Seamless and open are not the same thing. Skyrim is open, it has loadzones. It is open because the player is in control of the direction and exploration of the world. Breath of the Wild is open, but again has load zones. Some games manage seamless transitioning, but that’s not what makes them open.

    For a better portable graphical experience on this game buy a deck, rog ally etc, limit the main proccesor to 80% , use fsr and 30 fps and now you have a mini version of the ps5 version that can last 2 hours on battery and i will say is awesome at least in my experience :v
    But if you don't have the money for a more powerful handheld, man a switch lite is now capable of running this game and is just mind blowing xdd

    Panic button talked a lot about switch porting when they made Doom and Doom Eternal. The reason some elements look worse than others, while some still look almost as good as the other ports is because of selective culling. They made choices based on the players focus what elements could be downgraded to save processing, and which the player was expected to be impressed by. Random walls and pillars? Unimportant, drop their texture resolution. The giant magical chandelier the characters are gawking at? It’s a priority, make sure it looks good. I’m sure this seems obvious to some, but yeah, that’s why parts of the game look far worse than others. The devs had to decide what elements were important enough.
    Frankly, given how many people were saying there’s no way this version could possibly work, I’m actually hugely impressed. I have yet to play this game, and yet, despite having a computer that could play it, I’m seriously considering getting the switch version instead for portability.

    BTW. There allways was a gap between sony , microsoft and nintendo games in graphic : N64 - blurry cause cart capacity , Gamecube - blurry cause disc capacity ,WII was a little bit better GC but when we compare do x360 or ps3 - looks like from previous generation... so ... nintendo always was the same issue with their consoles i think :) maybe thats why I didnt expect super ps5 quality but something whats will be not compared even to ps4 version , something like low quality settings on ps4 (if that kind of pc settings could exist on ps4 ) . cya!!

      The switch is almost 7 years old at this point, using a chip set that's even older. Games made to be played on the switch aren't even doing as good as they should. Take pokemon SV for example.
      If you guys are happy with the current switch then do nothing 👍 stay happy. But there is nothing wrong with wishing for a better / more powerful system that can run games better without needing to dial them down this much just to be able to play them.
      I also didn't say anything about a switch 2. Just that I hope nintendo makes a better system than what we currently have, which allows us to play more games and not have to neuter the games in order for them to run.
