Ni No Kuni switch is baad! other sites saying it's fine minus a few minor bugs (Threadmark)

Point me to a Switch port that did not have issues that didn't exist or weren't as bad on other consoles. I'm not saying they don't exist, as I'm sure they do (and yes, I exaggerated by saying EVERY SINGLE ONE). But this year alone, Tales of Vesperia, Deadly Premonition, Grandia Collection, and Bloodstained (just a few examples) all had glaring flaws on Switch.
Edit: I will retract the lazy devs comment and put blame squarely on publishers who seem fine with releasing half assed Switch ports.
You listed four games. Based on your post, I assumed you'd have hundreds of examples.
There are many bad ports on Switch, but there are plenty of great ones as well.
Nice reply, ignoring where I said I exaggerated, I only provided a few examples, and didn't provide any counter examples. Lovely.
I don't need to prove anything to you. I'm not the one who stated every Switch port has issues.
Hmmm others don't seem to be reporting the same issues, or at least not to the extent. Will wait for more clarification.
what bullshit. there are tons of perfectly fine switch ports.
Sounds like sticking Switch games on the cheapest smallest carts and making people download the rest has finally come round to bite us in the arse.
Every Switch port having issues is obviously exaggerated but there are definitely more horrible ports than there should be.

except the whole game is on cart. there is no download required strip on the box
Just bumping this up, since it kinda got "end of the thread"ed. Just kinda wondering if anyone knows?
I think they refer to it as PS3's swan song because NNK came out in early 2013 and PS4 released later that year. P5 was released on both PS3 and PS4 so it wasn't a system exclusive RPG the way NNK was. I see your point, but I think it's also fair to call it a swan song of sorts.
well, yeah.
I've complained about a number of ports on the platform that had no right being in the state they launched in.
But many, many developers have put in the work to provide fantastic versions of their games and I'm not going to handwave away their efforts.
You should watch the video. There clearly is something wrong there for some reason.
All the Final Fantasy ports? They were flawless or had flaws that existed also on Playstation (the now fixed music bug).
Skyrim and Dragon's Dogma were also competent iirc.
Plenty of indie games: Wargroove, Celest, What Remains of Edith Finch, Stardew Valley,...
Should I go on?
Given that this person is alone in this, my bet is faulty cart/sd card.
Seeing as it seems like a great port, you are right.

Yeah but it came from something it's not that he was baiting for clicks or anything.
Vesperia Switch literally looks and runs better than the source platforms (PS360). What's actually present for nearly every Switch port is this sort of overblown hyperbole and microscoped negativity. It reminds me of the constant res wars early on with PS4/One, though those sort of magically disappeared with Pro/X (gee, I wonder why).
FWIW people familiar with every version of Deadly Premonition have said the Switch version, even with the faults it has, is still the best version that currently exists. The game has technical issues everywhere.
One should Always lead a review thread with what seems to be an outlier, right? :p
Happy it seems to be a good port after all, since I already paid for my copy.. puh.

Reminds me of "Link's Awakening is unplayable"... and then you read the article.
But catchy titles generate more clicks. And considering some act as if posting threads here is a race to "break news" is not something I see changing, unless the team in here dictates that when posting an article, the title of the thread should be the same as the article and include the source.
In the case of review/impressions like this, a minimum of 3 different sources should be recquired instead of "one site says the game is bad".

What glaring issues of Vesperia are you talking about? I finished the game on the Switch and didnt have any notorious issue at all.
Real quick: Launch version had issues of crashing. Frame rate hiccups aside (really seemed like they intended for battles to be 60fps, field exploration at 30fps, but ultimately left it unlocked for field exploration), that was really the only issue. I "think" it's been fixed, since I haven't heard reports of it in awhile, but yeah.
I was leaning towards the PC version anyway after how beautiful NNK2 looked, even though I generally prefer buying any games on Switch these days. This makes the decision final. Locked 30 is doable, choppy fps drops undercuts things too much.
JRPGs are so nice on portables but this one in particular is a graphics spectacle. The gameplay was never anything to write home about anyway.

Still though, choosing to go with a smaller card size instead of larger can still have negative effects even if it all fits on a card.
Was listening to HCG's video earlier and I thought he said his impressions were from a PS4 pro.
No technical issues will ever distract from the snore fest which the game was for me. JRPGS are living through the party you get to know. And this one here was so limited and boring, I just had to gave up at some point after investing roughly 30-40 hours.

yeah sorry about this, gonna request a lock, won't be trusting Nintendo Enthusiast for this review, seems like it's just them then
