It looks pretty impressive. I wonder how the frame rate will hold up in the swamps.
I believe you are the only person in this thread saying it "looks so bad".
The game looks and runs incredibly well considering the hardware it's on.
That could be because anyone criticizing this game's graphics gets attacked and branded a hater by the rabid nintendo fanboys, so at some point people not here to sing praises of how amazing the gfx are, just avoid those threads. And we can both recognize the technical achievement it is to get it running as well as it is on the Switch hardware while also not considering it good enough to actually enjoy the game in such a compromised state.
You are talking like this is completely unplayable when its clear from these videos and the digital foundry analysis that it isnt the case. I reckon you are arguing in bad faith.That could be because anyone criticizing this game's graphics gets attacked and branded a hater by the rabid nintendo fanboys, so at some point people not here to sing praises of how amazing the gfx are, just avoid those threads.

People only get those types of responses if they say ridiculous things ignoring all context. That happens everywhere.
You can feel free not to like it or think it's not good enough for you, but when you complain about Nintendo actually showing the game that's just an outright absurd thing to say.
That's not true, I recently blocked someone in another thread after he told me to go fuck myself for being a hater, for simply stating that the Switch version doesn't do the game justice and so I'd recommend another platform to someone playing it for the first time.

This is absolute black magic sorcery. The Switch has no right to run something like this - talk about punching above its weight!
Well without you linking that post I don't know if what you said warranted that kind of response from that person (I don't think anything really warrants such a response to be honest but that's me), but in general the only people who get shit on in these threads are the ones who make ridiculous claims, call this the "fake" version of the game, beg others not to buy this, etc.
But yeah I can't speak for everyone, some people are gonna be assholes.
Lol at the hosts extremely manicured hair and beard and giant gut
??? I see that kind of haircut and beard everyday.Lol at the hosts extremely manicured hair and beard and giant gut
manicured....
hair and beard???
I think you need to go lie down.
I'm more concerned by the fat shaming honestly. I thought this place was better than that.
oh sweet summer child
we got illiterate mfers who don't even know what manicure means
I used to take that sort of mentality when I first built my own PC. I could run any game at max settings at the highest resolution my monitor could offer. But some games were plagued with technical issues that would make it crash to desktop, some that have still still to be resolved to this day. It might just be my particular graphics card or driver, but at this point it would be painstaking to troubleshoot.For me personally, the rather extreme compromises do make the game what I'd consider "unplayable" (for me), but that's because I've played through the entire thing on the highest settings and couldn't go back. For those who haven't played it or can ignore the downgrades, it should still be a great experience as it's a great game! Unfortunately for me the amazing (especially at the time) graphics were a huge part of the experience.
Would it kill you to act a little less dismissive and plain antagonistic in basically every Nintendo thread?I'm just amazed that they're still showing it even though it looks very bad and runs worse lol
That hardly warranted insults, but I'm not too surprised tbh, people are very aggressive on this forum.

I thought it had more to do with nails?This thread has taken a weird turn but "manicured" is a very common and proper word to describe a well-kept beard or hair.

It was a dumb post to begin with. Trying to say the game groomed himself well, while calling him fat.Oh yeah, absolutely, that response was too aggressive. It happens sometimes, but I don't think there's been any sort of pattern with this port.

...This...isn't about Geraldt's bathtub scene where he puts up his feet now, is it?
That's precisely why they should stop but we're getting way too offtopic now.
Please do explain why The Witcher 3's gameplay isn't that good. I've heard conflicting stories, such as it being a step up from The Witcher 2, and so forth.The only problem with this game, all versions, is that the gameplay is not that good.

So the "auto-targeting" feels...off? I was hoping there would be a cursor which highlights who Geraldt would be attacking.In combat the real issue is that it can be hard to know which enemy Geralt is targeting at times. So you can have 3 enemies surrounding you and 2 more standing like 5-10 feet away, and if you tilt the left stick a bit to the left while attacking you'd expect him to attack the one a bit to his left, right? Well, a lot of the time instead of that happening he'll do a fancy roll and flip over to one of the guys standing 5-10 feet away to attack him. It may not be a huge deal to most people but it can be really clunky and aggravating at times.

I'm happy for everyone that wants to play this on Switch and will now get to, but having played the PC version I think it's far too compromised for me even with the benefit of portability. I definitely noticed tons of frame rate issues, but others have said that may be the upload and I hope it is.
Yeah, we get it.Personally, the rather extreme compromises do make the game what I'd consider "unplayable" (for me), but that's because I've played through the entire thing on the highest settings and couldn't go back.

Hey i'm not saying that nobody will buy this, in fact playing Witcher 3 in a handheld is a good proposition, just amazed that they're showing the game, given how bad it looks and runs, that it might discourage some people from buying.
Agreed. You can definitely tell when the day time comes and the lack of res is obvious and the washed out light system but it's still playing exactly like Witcher and will be on a tiny screen and such.There's definitely a lot of very notable compromises made to get this to run. Which of course was expected. As I've played the game already I know how damn good game it is, the graphical and perfomance downgrade isn't a problem for me personally. But still makes me wonder how off-putting this might look to someone not that familiar with the game.

Edit: Love Miles' Switcher shirt and that Roach gag on the background with the toy horse.
Me too. And this will be a triple dip by me. This will be the version I 100% though.
you should be banned for this.Lol at the hosts extremely manicured hair and beard and giant gut
