I think the average PC gamer on Lemmy isn’t going to see the value in the Switch 2. I’ve personally seen that for people that want things to just work the switch is a great console.

The Switch 2 is getting a little greedy with paid upgrades to switch 2 performance for switch 1 games, and that goes against the “just works” ethos.

Your setup is absolutely diabolical, I appreciate the commitment to the bare essentials.

LTT describes that the XBOX team have also trimmed down 2GB of W11 desktop bloat with this and have attempted to make the W11 experience more similar to a console. I’m curious to follow this. I’d imagine Microsoft are a bit intimidated by the fact that SteamOS is a better handheld gaming OS than Windows. Obviously this must have been in the pipeline for a long time now.

Totally. And then these rebuttals are time consuming to fact check too.

How very Petersonian of Person 1. JP would be proud by that level of semantics.

Honestly the likeness of John Snow is crazy good here. Not sure if it will be a good RTS, but the timing seems really late considering GoT wrapped up 6 years ago.

This game nailed the Souls game feel. Looking forward to trying out the DLC.

Haha that’s an interesting 20fps cap option.

I want to give an example of Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. The battles in that game have very low frame rate, about 18 FPS. I modded the game on steam a couple of years ago and unlocked the frame rate, so it was running at 60fps.

I remember it was transformative to the point where it was unsettling to look at, because I had become so accustomed to 18 FPS for that game.

Absolutely after a few battles I preferred it, but it did strike me that some aspect of the games’ identity was tied to that low FPS. Nostalgia is a powerful thing for me.

I think player expectations play a big role here. It’s because you grew up with 20fps on ocarina of time that you accept how it looks.

I’m pretty sure that game is not a locked 20 FPS and can jump around a bit between 15-20, so the argument that it is locked 20 and so feels smooth doesn’t really convince me.

If that game came out today as an indie game it would be getting trashed for its performance.

Gonna need some elaboration on that last point. You’re saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship? Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.
