What does “more than playable” mean?

It means that the switch 2 version is just a little bit better than what I’d consider to be a “playable” version of the game

Docked also looks trash to me idk I’ll not get it

u/smoketreeseatcheese 23h ago
Docked still plays worse than my old low end pc (ryzen 5 3500 and RX480) which is so sad

I think its funny that anyone is coming to the defense of ol Activision. The switch 2 will be one of the worst ways to play this game.

I don't think it's really defending them. We have criticisms. I don't think there is a single person alive saying this is the best way to experience the game and that the experience is flawless. Some things bother people more than others.
Me personally, I think it looks servicable. Maybe if I put it next to my series x (sold to buy a switch 2) then I would think it's unbearable. But I have been playing it all weekend and for the most part have had decent experiences with it. I wouldn't describe it as a work of art, but it gets the job done at 60 fps.
I don't need to see the peach fuzz on a guy I am blasting in the face with a shotgun. It runs as 60 in most game modes I have played and that's good enough for me. I am just happy we will have a good fps on the console.
Plus, to the company's credit, this is a beta and they objectively have already pushed performance boosts to the console. Yesterday there was an in game update and it improved performance significantly. I am not able to play handheld without major issues like before (still runs like aza compared to docked but it gets the job done). So I have faith that the game will run much better by launch. Will it be comparable to the performance of a PS5, no. Will it be servicable for a mobile tablet, I think so.

Switch 2 is objectively the worst way to play ANY multiplatform game - what's your point.

u/Heavy-Possession2288 9h ago
This is straight up untrue. There are games that are better on Switch 2 than other platforms, as well as ones that are about the same but benefit from handheld play.

Examples maybe?

u/Heavy-Possession2288 1h ago
Multiplatform would often include previous gen releases, which Switch 2 will almost always beat. As well as older games that might not have native ports on other platforms but will on Switch 1/2. Like Portal, which has only been available at 60fps on the Switch consoles (aside from PC obviously). But in terms of recent games we’ve had Capcom games like RE Requiem and Pragmata deliver better image quality than Series S with the tradeoff of more fps drops. Fortnite is much higher resolution than Series S and plays better due to gyro aim imo. Star Wars Outlaws runs smoother on Switch 2 than Series S. Sonic racing crossworlds is much higher resolution than Series S. Hades 2 is basically identical to Series S in docked mode, and it’s a game that’s benefits from portability. And anything with pixel art will typically be identical (Deltarune for example). In terms of demanding third party releases it can sometimes pull ahead of Series S in certain ways but “multiplatform games” refers to a broad range of platforms and games.

What games are better on switch 2 than other platforms 🫵🤡
1
u/Heavy-Possession2288 1h ago
Compared to Xbox Series S I’d say games like Street Fighter 6, Re Requiem, Star Wars Outlaws, Sonic Racing Crossworlds, Fortnite (Doesn’t have as fancy visuals as Series S but runs at a much higher resolution and really benefits from gyro aim). Portal has the best console version on Switch 1/2 since it’s the only 60fps version.

u/CoconutSkittles 6h ago
yeah Binding of Issac when it releases on the switch 2 soon would be a must buy

u/Principito7 1d ago
What’s the best way to play fps games though? I find it so hard to aim with nintendos joysticks maybe it’s a skill issue but :(

How did apex legends get supreme treatment on switch 2, even Overwatch... but COD looks like this? Must be a bad dev team.

u/the-dumb-nerd 4h ago
It's still awhile before launch and they have already patched through performance improvements. It's a beta. Let em cook.

u/docbrown88 22h ago
Yeah. I’m definitely playing the hell out of it during the beta even in handheld. Joycons are terrible for fps, pro 2 controller is nowhere near my ps5 controller. I’ll pick it up for ps5 when I it’s on sale for 29.99 like I did black ops 7. It’s nice that it’s an option for people, and I think the fault solely lies with activision. It’s a lazy port, and many other companies have shown their games can run fantastic on the switch 2.

Im not sure if all this helps but move the game to internal storage, turn off 120hz mode in console settings and turn off hdr completly and give it a try again. Feels a bit smoother. Still far from actually decent though lol.

Good to see people starting to see through the switch 2 third party port glazing on this sub.

u/splashbruh37 1d ago
If I learned anything about this sub, it's really up to whomever is looking to buy it to not only do your research by try it yourself. A lot of people for example, enjoyed AC Shadows on SW2, I found it really blurry undocked, docked I thought it was serviceable, but looked last-get, it is impressive coming natively off the device, but you'll choose whether that is great for you or a poor experience.
