Bloodstained on the Switch is the single worst port of a game I've ever played.

I've had Super Mario Odyssey crash on me. Also Civilization VI.
I've never had any Nintendo game crash on me so honestly I was pretty surprised when Odyssey crashed and I had to reload the game.

Yeah Switch version is pretty poor I was pretty disappointed as a backer from the beginning.
I still picked it up on GoG on launch and I really enjoyed the PC version! It's a great game, and I hope that the upcoming patches are able to smooth things out a little across all platforms. I'm still glad I have it on Switch for portability.
EEEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

What are you talking about? It's a mostly stable 30 oil paintings per second.
Big off-topic but Majoras Mask on the Zelda Collection on GameCube is unstable as fuck.
Any reason you left out Xbone version? I'd imagine it runs the best since it has X support, is there something up with it too?
No particular reason - just totally slipped my mind that it had released on Xbone too, I'm sure its on par with PC/PS4 (although the xbox score is 2 points lower on metacritic for some reason that might be worth diving further into the reviews for).
I'm pretty sure I read in the OT or somewhere that the Xbox One release has some pretty big problems too.
Can you imagine the shitstorm if they had delayed the SW release even more?
Much less of a shitstorm than releasing a buggy-ass mess of a port, I assure you.
I'm not so sure about that.
Anyways, the Wii U / SW port always sounded dubious when the game was in Kickstarter and development phase. In spite of that I always thought they would have at least some plan of making it happen in a realistic way, even if some sacrifices would have to be made.
Well, I give the devs a bit of slack in the fact that the Switch was unheard of and the Wii U was winding down fast at the outset of this game's Kickstarter. It was simply unrealistic to expect the Switch version to be given much priority to begin with. That being said, it was no secret how successful the Switch became and why so many backers chose that version. That was when the team should've shifted gears and prioritized the development on that version, but clearly, that didn't happen. If it did, I'm sure it, or maybe even all versions, would've been delayed.
Eh it'll come. Game is totally playable. Like the article says, can't just flip a switch.
I'm playing on Xbox one X since the switch version is such garbage and I've already had two crashes. A glitch where Miriam's head disappears and locks the game, and the frame drops are ridiculous. They really should have waited six months and polished this game up.
Damn, that sounds nasty.
It's unfortunate that not everyone can play this game in the way it was meant to be depending on which platform they chose. The PS4 release didn't have any problems for me, and the game is a joy to play. It is an incredible game no question and a very strong contender for my GOTY, I'm basically 99% sure it's my number one game of the year.
They already delayed the game a lot, but maybe they should have delayed those versions even more, and just released the PS4 version for now because it was obviously in a better state. There would be been a huge shitstorm, but now the situation is detracting from a game that is really a masterpiece in game design.
The silver lining is that at least it's not a Mighty no 9 situation. The actual game is superb and the design is really impressive, and the bugs of the other versions are something that can be fixed, instead of the game itself being bad.
It sucks. I'm up to 8 crashes across two different Xbox one Xs in my house. Last night my son tried to start a game and it was crashing when he put in his name.
The biggest issue for me on a personal level is this is the game I've been waiting for since SotN. SotN is one of my favorite games of all time and right now I'm having a tremendously hard time enjoying bloodstained because it feels like it barely had any QA done to it. I know this game is supposed to be great but right now it feels like store brand cereal rather than the real deal. I hope it gets better as they fix the game but right now I feel completely ripped off and it's tainting the entire experience.
I almost bought the Switch version, but picked up the PC version at the last minute, phew. The PC version runs extremely well and it hasn't crashed on me. Seems to be the only really solid version.
The state of the port is pretty much why I haven't picked up the game yet. I might just end up playing on PC.
Borderlands 2 was way, way worse, but yes. I played through BS on Switch first and I'm really glad I did, because if I had played it on any other system it would have been impossible to go back. I only had 3-4 of the issues in the OP, but the constant 5FPS was enough to kill it for me. Also crashed 6-7 times in 10 hours which in a game like this is horrible.
Played through it on PS4 Pro after and it is a completely different experience.

It's not cool that they haven't delivered the same experience on all platforms, or at least as close as possible for SW. The game itself is really great, but not having all the versions be up to snuff is detracting from what should have been a stellar launch on all platforms.
