I just saw the game key card is £42 on amazon, the game is £50 on the eshop.Also, just remembering this is the gold edition, with all the dlc for that price, which is less than other consoles.
Plus now we can see the game couldn't exist physically as cart read speeds aren't high enough.
It's a enticing package, but the game itself is like a 7 or 8 out of 10 I hear.
Couldn't the Switch 2 cartriges technically be installed onto internal storage like the PS5 and XSX disks do? This all or nothing game key approach, but cost isn't an issue for publishers sounds odd to me;
People on Resetera speculated on the same thing. They said Nintendo would never allow it. Piracy concerns?
The cost of actual cartridges seems to be $17 -$23
If cartridges aren't fast enough why not ship games on micro sd express cards?
Only problem is the lowest capacity of them is 256gb and they cost $50 or more.
Then again this is par for the course on PS5 and XS, where the game will require to be installed.
But no publisher would pay for that, they'd just stick with game keycards.
GG wasn't the $23 mooted as what it'd cost to have gamecards with similar read speads to the expres micro SD cards? I thought game keycards cost around $8.
They'd have to put games on micro sd express cards for faster read speeds, but the lowest capacity seems to be 256gb that are sold to consumers anyway.
I did read an article a while back that said in regard to the carts that there aren't lower cart sizes because they would still cost a similar amount to produce.
So a 32gb cartridge wouldn't cost half as much as a 64gb one.
Someone else said the cartridges cost $17.
I think Marvelous goes all physical and they charge $10 more per game so they aren't fiscally irresponsible.
Kind of hard to fault these companies what with the cost of the carts and then you add on the other costs associated with physical. Cases, sleeves, production, shipping, and then a cut to the stores that sell them. Must all take a really hefty chunk out.
I can't fault them either.
I don't care about physical media from a collector perspective anymore; too much clutter for me these days. A digital library is far easier to manage, but I don't want the games I buy to suddenly disappear or the single player campaign to stop working either. That's where these companies go too far. If they could figure that out, most people probably wouldn't mind going digital only. The arrogant ""We'll take your money, but you'll own nothing." statements that tick me off the most.
Agree with you for the most part. I still kind of like my physical collection of games but I’m not all that much of a stickler for them either. A lot of these days games will get patches, updates, more content added, etc. Plus I do appreciate the immediacy of hoping from game to game with having to make sure the disc or cart is in the system.
Seemed decent. I use decent a lot when I mean pretty good.
I'll have to watch it on the 4ktv to check, but the Switch 2 version has worse shadows, textures. But it seems to have better ray traced lighting and reflections and performs better.
Also its running at 1440p using DLSS docked and 1080p portable DLSS.
The Series S version can do 1440p using FSR. They also reduced the geometry in the Switch 2 version in subtle ways. Reduced NPC count.
It's stuff you only notice if you put them side by side. The ray traced reflections make a big difference visually. When they're Missing it looks flatter and diffused.
I've never seem so many framerate graphs across the screen. Some of the videos will go on about how the framerate may dip for 3 seconds. Or how 1 shadow is missing under 1 object you wont really care about either.
5 mins into these videos Im thinking "is this game any good then? Is it fun? Because you've told me f### all about the game so far"
GG, all I can tell you is that it looked good on the Series S. One of the best looking games I have ever seen with good textures , shading and lighting effects.. I enjoyed the gameplay very much though it can be repetitive(story missions are awfully similar).Theres a good bit of variety riding speeders, stealth, gun fights, space battles, gambling. and I loved trying to win over the different factions. I tried to do a lot but did ending up finishing it quickly since I was playing under a subscription service. The best I can describe it is Assassin's Creed for Star Wars fans. If you like that Ubisoft open world gameplay then you will surely like this.
I would get the game key card as its fairly cheap compared to digital but I don't want to have to plug in a cartridge every time I want to play it.
Especially if it already will exist on the SSD.
I knew it was good but never paid much attention to it as I would never buy the Switch 1 version.
I've read all the Harry Potter books and seen all the mainline films. I wouldn't call myself a fan, the last few books and movies sucked.
But this game is so much deeper and more expansive than I expected and seems to have been made with a lot of care and attention.
Even the writing is pretty good. And technically its such a great port too. The combat is fun too, you're like a wizard gunslinger.
You can stealth about like Splinter Cell, fly about the open world and do quests like The Elder scrolls. You have crafting opportunities and tons of gear and costumes.
Really fun and seems to be packed with content.
Glad you can pick up the Switch 1 version on sale and pay $10 for the upgrade. Only paid £18 for it.
Great value.
Now I want Witcher 3, Doom and Eternal, The Sinking City to all get Switch 2 upgrades.
It looks fun. Gyro aiming makes all shooters more appealing to me. I still have fps I own I wont play because there's no gyro.It is definitely fun and I finished the main story last night. Now, to do some sidequests. Gotta help my man, Sebastion.
I'm a little broke at the moment. I'd like to try out Hollow Knight since I somehow missed out
High on Life is nuts!
Yes, that was a fun game.
