I don't know why people are surprised that Elden Ring runs like shit on switch 2

[deleted fren]

Companies have little reason to invest high effort into switch or switch 2 ports. (Outside of companies that make games that are popular among Japanese audiences. Seeing as how the switch is the go to platform in Japan.)

I don't know why people are surprised that let's say, Elden Ring runs like shit on the switch 2. It's not just that the switch 2 is weak. It's that from soft is not going to invest considerable effort aka money into a port of a game that will probably sell worse than it did on other platforms. Nintendo fans are not known to buy third party games as much as other platforms costumer bases do.

Do you really think that these companies couldn't get PS3 games to run on switch 1? Ofc they could. Switch 1 is more powerful than the PS3. The reason why they released half baked ports is because these ports were rushed and off sourced to smaller companies.

The switch 2 will likely follow the same path as the switch 1 when it comes to third party support. At first you'll get some big third party current gen games, then as companies see that it's not as profitable to put in any such effort, you'll see ports of PS4 generation games that take considerably less effort to port, but still somehow run worse.

No one is surprised at this except for tendies who though the Shitch 2 was going to be a powerhouse on par with current consoles

People say it runs better on docked mode but that ruins the whole point of buying the game on switch 2

I wish they gave a non portable but stronger version of the console

 

[Leblid]

Is it out already?

I fully played with no issues the game at 720p, low, 60 fps with my gtx 1060 6 gb.

Can the Switch 2 do that?

ER ran like total garbage on PC on launch. So it doesn't surprise me that it will also run like shit on Switch 2. From only wants money and don't want to spend any money on ports.
ER has no DLSS no FSR so tendy can't just get free performance out of their ass like with any other game you need raw performance plus good optimization. While tthey have raw power, optimization is not there and even weaker Steam Deck runs the game better

I have no idea why anyone would buy a Switch other then to play Switch only games, or the Classic emulator thing they have on them.

They're lazy. Dark Souls on switch had bizarre audio crunch because they off sourced it to some small studio and they've never bothered to patch it. From soft being one of the most pro consumer companies is a joke. They'll sell you half finished shit for a quick buck. There's absolutely no excuse for a port this bad.

I guess people forget that it's basically just a tablet because of all the peripherals and marketing.

And they are planning on releasing another game like bloodborne exclusive for switch 2 which will run like shit they could’ve given it to pc or any other console
