Just read the article and never heard of the 60 fps mod, looking on Youtube I'm surprised how much better you can make the game look by just getting rid of the muddy TXAA.

PCgamer981992d ago

Sadly it also involves oc'ing and pushing the switch to stress levels so it's not also a good idea in a long run.

Fritzwochel1992d ago

Yeah but what about the updated 16nm tegra switch?

Vegamyster1991d ago

I know that's what's required for the 60 fps mod but it'd be nice if they added the ability to turn off those post processing effects in options because that alone makes the game look a lot better without stressing the system.

Looks pretty freaking good to me for a "low level" port on a handheld.

Just you wait, the fanboys will move the goalposts once more, saying something like "IT'S NOT TRUE 1080P SO IT'S A SHITTY PORT!".
Mainly it's the Sony fanboys since they're still super salty about how much of a failure the Vita was.
Just pure jealousy since the Switch is what the Vita should've been, but wasn't due to boneheaded decisions by Sony when it came to 1st party support and its choice of memory storage...

TheHateTheyGive1991d ago

Oh please, nobody cares about handheld kiddie gaming, sony never cared for ps vita. Whats really funny is that sony pushed nintendo out the dedicated home console business, wii u was a colossal failure, nintendo ran to their kiddie handheld fan base to survive. Sonys 1st party games are in another league vs the kiddie nintendo exclusives.

Nobody cares about it yet it's sold nearly 50 million in 3 years with no signs of slowing down.

That proprietary 8gb memory was at $100 for years. That did kill it for me at fist. But I jumped in after it was dead ti get a bug backlog of games.

Razmiran1991d ago

And also the 3ds sold a lot, and the ds, and the psp too
"Handheld kiddie gaming" what you salty boys come up with these days

MadLad1991d ago (Edited 1991d ago )

@thehate

Oh yes. Sony cared so little about handheld gaming that they put out two fairly beefy (for their time) systems, and marketed the hell out of them.
The thing that's sad is the PSP was far more popular. They mismanaged the Vita so highly that they took their ball and went home in their first loss.

The rest is just driveling nonsense. Nintendo has been switching things up and doing their own thing since the DS/Wii days. They've made so much money off of the Wii and their handhelds, they easily could have shaken off the hit the Wii U was. Nintendo messed up with the Wii U. They marketed it really poorly, and at a questionable time in the generation. If you want to attribute everything to Sony though, hey, be my guest.

On a completely unrelated note, one of my favorite quotes is "ignorance is bliss". Totally unrelated; just wanted you to know that about me.

On a handheld Switch it looks good. On a big screen it looks awful though. Worse than the PC version at the lowest settings and way worse than any other console edition of the game, pretty rough given that some of those consoles are cheaper than Switch.

I’m playing through it right now on the Switch and it’s great. Only thing is the frame rate drops a bit in especially cutscenes for some reason but it’s never a problem. It’s censored a bit though! Lol No boobs.

Everlastingfate1991d ago

Liar. Flat out lie. This game is no more censored than the other consoles. Plenty of boobs. Grow up.

Doesn’t sound like you even actually own it.

@VivaChe

Playing through it myself for the first time on Switch and I can confirm there is most definitely boobs.

Achievement Locked: The Inaccessibility of Completionism

A huge community exists online now for those seeking full completion of their favorite games, but it seems that not everybody can join in on the fun.

Everytime someone says difficulty is bad because it isolate disabled people I feel like it's an excuse because made by someone who wants to have their work done for them, you talk about how much you dislike something and then add a little "I'm talking for the sake of disabled people", also I think it's a bit disrespectful to think that disabled people can't do what others do, you have someone beating Malenia with his mouth or her feet!

Also after reading this article I feel like you don't want completion to be tied to everything in the game (which includes difficulty settings), it's called completion, yet you want to be one without actually completing it?

franwex1049d ago

If an achievement or trophy is too much for me I simply don't do it. I can complete the game 100% without playing in Nightmare mode-if it's too hard for me (or will take too long like the witcher 3).
Then there is the BS achievement mentioned for FF9 jump rope which I will never waste my time on.

My OCD may act up if something is not complete, but my patience will over power my OCD with ridiculous tasks.

Having said all that, achievements have gotten more relaxed in the last few years as gamers tend to want to complete all of them (due to the platinum trophy), when before they were designed to give you a score-to make you want to try more games like in an arcade. So, focus more on relatively modern games and your OCD will suffer less.

Lots of hobbies are inaccessible. Do you think everyone has the steady hands to build ships in bottles?

But nobody is accusing ship bottling conventions of being exclusionary. That’s just a difficult hobby that nobody cares about.

Every hobby becomes exclusionary at some point. I didn’t feel welcomed to my school’s basketball team. If I wanted to play basketball, I had to join a recreational team.

Why erase a challenge for all at the benefit to a very, very few?
