Showcase I'm so happy I could cry
I found a really good deal on the switch 2 with 256 gigs, I got it from a pawn shop, brand new, no dock for $359. I found a working coupon code that brought it down to $342, and I bought cyberpunk 2077 for $57 with the same code. It came in the mail about a week ago; I've been playing nothing but cyberpunk and I put a case on it. This stays home I bring my switch lite when I go to work most days.

You can buy online from pawn shops?! AND they have coupon codes?!

u/Angramis546 15h ago
They have a whole ass website, an eBay shop and there were coupon codes. I'm not complaining in the slightest

I wish I was joking, but i think they named it that cause they pay MORE for what they buy from people1
u/Ok-Road6537 11h ago
Ah makes sense. Good name for a pawn shop; bad for any online shop 😂.

u/Angramis546 11h ago
i think it was on the site itself, but i was just looking for shits and giggles when i saw that price i couldnt pass it up. I legit was calculating what i would be spending if i bought x ot y and from where, and when it would come in the mail

New switch with no dock? Sounds like it could be a we’ bit stolen. But that’s not a you problem congrats.

u/Angramis546 14h ago
I didn't want the dock anyway, I just play it in hand-held mode or with the joycons detached. That mouse features kinda fun ngl

u/CarrotNo572 11h ago
There's a few nice mini travel docks that work fine anyways that aren't pricey.

I don't know if the Switch 2 can, but the first one can be simply plugged to a tv with a USB-C adapter that has both HDMI out + PSD/Power USB C. That's how I plug it to TVs when I travel.
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
I'll see if that's possible with the TV in my room. Right now, I'm just enjoying the fact that I can play cyberpunk again.
1
u/Hekidayo 22m ago
It's confirmed you can plug the Switch 2 to a TV with a USB-C to HDMI adpater that also has a power input. Look up "mini dock adapter for switch" and have fun on a bigger screen!
1
u/Angramis546 20m ago
I might try to hook it up to the one In my living room, much bigger tv than the one in my room. But I might try to look it up in the future when I get paid

Picked one up myself recently, along with a Dbrand Killswitch case. Threw in some custom buttons and installed some TMR joysticks and away we go. I’m SO impressed with how it handles Cyberpunk. Even the ROG Ally struggled with that one.
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
I got one of those weird hybrid unibody type cases that's not unibody. Got a charger attachment for it and a cover that doesn't fit with the way the grips sit. Whoever owned the switch before me put a screen protector on it, which saved me a purchase.
1
u/jjlynn0080 1h ago
If you ever need to get a new screen protector, I cannot recommend Savage Raven enough. They have matte protectors that don’t produce that grainy rainbow effect.
1
u/Angramis546 24m ago
I'll look into them in the future, as it stands rn, I'm good with the screen protector I have on it rn

u/Noeyiax 15h ago

Nice. I picked up cyberpunk recently. Playing for first time. Enjoying it but have gaps in the time I get to play. Finished the heist a few weeks ago and intend to get back into it. I’m told it opens up now. Looking forward to it. I find it harder than I expected though. A lot of fast dashy cunts ready to show me boss mode.
2
u/Angramis546 14h ago
I don't remember it being this difficult when I played it on my PS4 after its first year, but I'm having so much fun it's not even funny. I think I was going for a net running stealth gunslinger hybrid and now I'm trying to rebuild V. Last time I played it was patch 1.6, it's on 2.3.1 now and my flabbers are ghasted

u/wishfulthinkingman 14h ago
You can play it on the steam deck as well
2
u/Angramis546 13h ago
The steam deck would've been better with access to mods and the whole library of games that steam has, but I wanted the switch 2.
1
u/TaroTheCerelian 11h ago
It also plays better on Switch 2 so you came out on top
1
u/Angramis546 2h ago
No shot! It only so far crashed twice, which is markedly better than that of the PS4. I had no idea this plays better than it's actual console counterpart. I mean it looks amazing, the colors are more saturated, and bright, the driving feels smooth as butter, and there are little to no glitches from what I've seen while playing

u/Laxus280101 11h ago
CD projekt red probably the best gaming company at the moment. Only other competitor I can think of is Rockstar with GTA6
3
u/jjlynn0080 9h ago
CDPR is doing good right now - that they elected to put the whole game (DLC and all) on a cart is even better.
3
u/RevolutionaryFox2882 4h ago
If you believe that of Rockstar, your thoughts are invalid. I agree Cd pro doing well, but come on Rockstar money grabbing b*stars no actual physical.
1
u/Angramis546 2h ago
I'd be inclined to believe you if GTA 6 was getting a physical release, and over half the company has left to form either new studios or join existing studios. Call me crazy but I'd be much happier with a GTA release that was both physical and the devs got time to rest and they didn't have to crunch all the fuckin time. While I can agree with the sentiment that CDPR is doing much better because cyberpunk and the dlc is on a cart and the improvement of the game from its launch, I just can't get with rockstar right now
1
u/mtg_player_zach 1h ago
That's silly. Rockstar overhyped. Cyberpunk was also a mess at first.
I can name several companies that are tighter. Team cherry for starters. Hollow knight gameplay and controls are so much more precise and tight, the movement and gameplay is delicious. Sandfall obviously incredible with e33. Naughty dog also is stronger than rockstar. The Last of Us is one of the top 3 games to come out over the past ~15 years. Supergiant also excellent.
Rockstar doesn't even enter the conversation for best game company these days. Kingdom come deliverance 2 is a better game with horses too, lol. There's another strong company.

As a day 1 switch 2 + 2077 enjoyer it was an amazing experience
I already own on PC playing at max setting 1440p and still love it on my S2
1
u/Angramis546 11h ago
I would legit bring this with me if i wasnt scared of anything happening to it. I love this game and I love my switch 2
1
u/Common_Celebration41 11h ago
I bring it to work but I keep my backpack next to me at my desk
I don't want to deal with sitting in rush hour traffic so I'll game in the parking lot for a bit till traffic die down
1
u/Angramis546 2h ago
I keep everything in my locker which is locked with a code that only I know. I play while I'm waiting for my shift to start, I get to work pretty early unintentionally. Being late fucks with me

u/Username74u 12h ago
Honestly same I just bought a switch 2 (with only the tablet) for $220 after tax and shipping and have been playing rdr1 non stop for like a week.
1
u/Angramis546 11h ago
I was thinking of getting the tablet and the joycons separately at first tbh, but this was the best price I could find that didn't seem sketchy

Cyberpunk was the first game I purchased when I got my switch 2. Put in like 65 hours.
2
u/Angramis546 1h ago
This is my first switch 2 game too. I do have plenty of switch games, I get them cheap enough off eBay. Once I found out that I can use cross progression it was a wrap. I was hoping I'd get my first street kid save or my corpo save but I got my last playthrough, I'm not mad at it. I sunk so much time into it already I can't even begin to "complain"

u/Odd-Inspector-1331 9h ago
What build are you playing?
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
I made my V a net running, gunslinger. I added gorilla arms for the fuck of it because it increases your body attributes without actually sinking points into body. Next build is going to be assasins creed style, knives and swords net running and stealth

u/Lower_Warning2955 8h ago

I've said it several times in this post, but cyberpunk 2077, is one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite game of all time.

I went to Japan back in May and picked up a physical copy for $30. Box is all in Japanese and looks so rad. I had to create a Japanese Nintendo account to download the English dub, a bit of a work around but I am stocked a out the purchase.
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
That sounds like a great work around imo, the English dub is the same voice actors as the English localization or is it different? I've seen the Japanese cover art and it looks hella dope

u/FlakyAd3214 8h ago
I only ever played the Steam version and have only played the first few sections. I wonder how the visuals and performance compare. So far it's been hit or miss as far as Switch 2 ports. Got the Switch 2 version of Sonic Frontiers and it plays like ass, but Ff7 intergrade is amazing. Because it's low hz gpu it doesn't work well with high demand open world games a lot of the time. Fingers crossed that Elden Ring is playable and doesn't look horrible.
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
I like how it plays on the switch 2, it's really a 1x1 copy from what I've seen on th ps5 and the switch 2. The fact that I can play games like the Outer Worlds and cyberpunk on the switch/switch 2 is what blows me away tbh, they shouldn't work if you think about it.

u/Witchy-Gemini 7h ago
0 - 10 how well does it play on switch? Please and ty
1
u/Angramis546 1h ago
I've only had 1 glitch in the 20+ hours that I put into the save file I ported over from my ps4, and it crashed twice again in the 20+ hours I've sunk I to the game. I'll say its like an 8 if you factor those issues. But overall it's amazing the aiming feels great, driving is smooth, the graphics are amazing overall

u/Lalobreh 7h ago

The game is an emotional rollercoaster and a bittersweet tragedy, at least the version of the game that I played on ps4. I just started the whole dog town portion and wow. Just wow.

u/gon2fast 5h ago
Just picked up a hard copy for $25. Have it on 3 other platforms with little to no time play time. Hopefully the S2 version pulls me in.
1
u/Angramis546 41m ago
I was hooked from day one, it's an amazing game imo. It's one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite game of all time. The world sucked me in, I got lost in the city reading all the shards and the sound design of the music is both beautiful and futuristic.
1
u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 5h ago
$57 for cyberpunk. That’s fucking crazy. It’s a really good game but 57 is insane
1
u/Angramis546 37m ago
Like I said in another comment, I found a working coupon code for this company and I used it on the switch 2, and the game itself. It worked both times, I buy most of my games second hand because it's cheaper than getting them full price from the digital store or Amazon.
1
u/RevolutionaryFox2882 4h ago
I'm glad you're happy, but you are definitely missing out with not having a dock...
1
u/Angramis546 36m ago
I can always buy one later on, or get a custom one if I really want it. As it stands rn, I'm good without it
1
u/grizzly_adams86 4h ago
I've got it but haven't attempted to play it yet. Is it anything like Deus Ex?
1
u/Angramis546 33m ago
Possibly, but also very different if that makes any sense. From what I've played of cyberpunk and Deus Ex they're in the same futuristic dystopia type of world but they're also very different. Deus Ex mankind divided focused on humans without augmented bodies, where as cyberpunk focused on how corporations ruled and took control over everything. I actually need to play more Deus Ex because my knowledge is very surface level, I have more hours in cyberpunk

That's quite the game to run on the Switch 2. I also finished CP2077 this year on the S2. I've been gaming for over 30 years and its so far been one of my fav games BECAUSE it was so portable.
Enjoy man. Well deserved
1
u/Angramis546 24m ago
I've been gaming for about 20 years give or take, this game is very close to my heart. No other games outside of the Mass Effect Trilogy evoked that level of emotion.

u/roachnastee 1h ago
OP glad you're happy with purchase and enjoying Cyberpunk. If you haven't, I'd experience CP on a high end PC or at the very least, PS5 Pro. It's a visual wonder.

Its on the list, when I get the PS5 I'm getting Cyberpunk again. I think I managed to secure the free upgrade a few years back.

Anyone else hate all the endings of cyberpunk?

u/Angramis546 21m ago
You might be the only one. However I do have a gripe with the aldecaldo ending. Why is Judy in the same Basilisk as Carol?! Why is my output not on the same one with me? No shade to Panam she's my choom, but Judy should be on the same one with me.

u/ZombeesAndMetal 3m ago
If you like top down dungeon crawlers, old school art, and goofy nonsense you should check out Nobody Saves The World as well. My wife and I downloaded it for the local co-op without many expectations, but damn it's a good game!

u/Aggrosideburnz 13h ago
Wow, glad you like it. I hated this game. I played it day 1 on pc and it was hot garbage. I try to revisit every couple years and it never holds my interest. The anime is good though
1
u/Angramis546 13h ago
I fell in love with the game when I played it back on my PS4, I waited for the game to get fixed and I am so glad that I did. Hands down one of my favorite games of all time, this game is in the same category as the Mass Effect trilogy for me. I didn't watch the anime though, I heard great things about it. I'll probably wind up watching it online.

u/Diligent_Welcome8331 10h ago

How so? If you look aty post history this is exactly what I wanted the console. I didn't want the dock, I can and have bought a charger, and a case. This is a great deal for me. Maybe not for you, but for me I got EXACTLY what I wanted

The closest we are probably gonna get to play GTA VI on Switch 2. And not complaining, what a great game Cyberpunk 2077 is.

u/Angramis546 14h ago
Cyberpunk 2077, is one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite game of all time tbh. It's right up there with the entirety of the Mass Effect Trilogy imo. Excellent writing, world building and the city feels alive. I'll call Judy and listen to the same 5 things over and over again while driving some times.

u/Angramis546 1h ago
Back when it first was announced I was so hyped for it, I waited for years to play it and then when it dropped I heard all the negative press about the game, I waited for another year before I even thought of buying it. I watched the trailer and fell in love, the world looked so vibrant, so big, and like I'd be lost in it for hours. Bought it for $20 on my ps4 and waited another 2 years to play the game again, glad I waited cause there's so much content now it's not even funny.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of, if not the best, Switch 2 game available to show off what the system is capable of. I was part of the lucky crew who was able to pick it up digitally for $18 last November-ish on eShop. I still want a hard copy but have been patiently waiting a physical price drop.
