NINTENDO Xenoblade Chronicles 3 arriving early on July 29th

[CerebralTiger]

First game not aging well and second being a disaster is not helping your case

Case re-opened

2nd best reviewed game of 2022 so far, after Elden Ring

 

[Necrokiller]

This case is a bit too similar Halo Infinite

What's even the trajectory of this spiral?

As per Metacritic, both Neon White and Cuphead expansion have scored better. CerebralTiger conveniently leaving out its rank on Open critic. LMAO @ 2nd best

 

[CerebralTiger]

As per Metacritic, both Neon White and Cuphead expansion have scored better.

The highest reviewed versions of both are sitting at 89

 

[Necrokiller]

The highest reviewed versions of both are sitting at 89

And ranked higher still

 

[CerebralTiger]

For now

 

[Necrokiller]

Imagine playing this trash performing game

Dynamic pixel counts that could hit 540p docked and 360p in mobile mode were mitigated via a relatively simple spatial upscaler, paired with intrusive sharpening.

Fucking hell XC2 was 540p docked on a 4K screen?

 

[CerebralTiger]

Imagine thinking the Switch, a hybrid handheld console, was designed for 4K screens in 2017

No stutters detected. Good performance. Preloading now

 

[Necrokiller]

I mean, CerebralTiger is going to be playing it in docked mode on a 4K screen so.....yiiiikes

No VRR on the Switch to mitigate this trash tier performance

 

[CerebralTiger]

No stutters like the ones often seen on the Steam Deck? I'll take it

 

[Necrokiller]

LMAO at justifying 24fps mess

Steam Deck became the best way to play this game yiiiiikes

 

[CerebralTiger]

Necrokiller returning after inspecting every second of the performance section of DF's video for possible stutters

And YIKES @ Steam Deck. The Xenoblade series is among the worst performing Switch games via Yuzu. Stutters galore, but hey, don't let that bother you

 

[Necrokiller]

It won't. Shader files are readily available and Vulkan support was also added to Linux. $0 version better than $60 native 540p 24fps version yiiikes

 

[CerebralTiger]

lmao did nobody tell Necrokiller shader files need to be specific to your exact config, and not all shaders can be pre-compiled

Not to mention, Monolith Soft's engine doesn't play nice with Yuzu. Good luck

 

[Necrokiller]

Monolulz engine isn't playing nicely with the Switch either. I mean, 24fps slideshow every time in combat is straight up terrible. Woh bhi a cartoonish game running at 540p

Unless, it "doesn't bother" CerebralTiger, then the Steam Deck version doesn't bother me either. Mein te $0 version Steam Deck te CriTically Analyse kersaaan.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Much like Alex, a frame rate drop doesn't bother me nearly as much as a stutter or pause in gameplay

 

[Necrokiller]

Alex doesn't like, or calls, sustained cinematic 24fps a 'drop'. Yikes

Imagine the awful input latency in this 'game'

 

[CerebralTiger]

He terms stutter as the worst type of performance-related issue (because it's literally a drop to 0fps)

Imagine the input latency due to emooolation

 

[Necrokiller]

Emooolation isn't restricted to 30fps, so you can always improve it. Switch version on the other hand

 

[CerebralTiger]

There's no reality in which you can improve drops to 0fps

 

[Necrokiller]

There's no reality in which 24fps is responsive
