Still no word on Duskbloods; I think Miyazaki is concentrating on his other project. I bet the Switch 2 is a bitch to program for, as it is so technologically cucked. I would not be surprised if FromSoft canned it, as Miyazaki has really high standards, and from all accounts I could see of the GamesCom demo, it was awful.

>Trying to discuss actual complaints and criticisms with the switch 2 online
>a half dozen "muh games in the 90s were $80, muh inflation, muh tariffs!" responses
>three hundred fucking "OMG, I can't believe they're selling this for $600 and games are $110 and there's absolutely no physical cartridges anymore whatsoever, and also they don't include a dock with the system, it will only play proprietary memory cards like the vita, you can't play switch 1 games on it at all without paying $20 for each of them, also none of these are actual exclusives because of [insert cope], there aren't any hall effect joysticks, and they made it so you can't even change the language on the system without paying extra!" responses
I'm not sure if some retards are aware of this, but making up shit does not in any way make it easier for actual complaints to be heard, and it's not bootlicking to call out factually incorrect statements.
The only thing I don’t like about the Switch 2 is that Nintendo locked the system down so hard that they can remotely brick it if they see a line of code they don’t like. When it comes to hardware, I believe if ya buy it, it’s yours to use as you see fit. That said, I do wish Nintendo would ease up on the restrictions and encourage the homebrew community to push the hardware to its limits to see what it is truly capable of. Nintendo could learn a lot from the homebrew community and integrate things from the homebrew community into later software updates. That’s how it happened with Android back in the day. Those of us who modded our devices and ran custom firmwares blazed the trail for what Android became today. A lot of what we built back then got integrated into Android by the official devs. Nintendo would benefit greatly from that same approach.
Basically, I want the ability to tweak the system to my liking and the ability to potentially overclock the system for better performance. Will I destroy the battery life? Yeah. Do I care? No, because the battery life was shit from day one, so who cares? The fact that the system is locked down so hard is honestly my only gripe about the Switch 2.
I ended up getting RE9 on the Switch 2 because it was on sale and I had some Nintendo gift cards I had to use. It looks like a poorly optimized PS4 game.

That sums up most of the stuff presented in the last direct. Lots of ports with glaring aliasing, blurry textures, and/or fluctuating/limited framerates.

Imagine paying hundreds of dollars for something that isn't even truly yours, sounds like a rental tax to me, kindov like NSO itself. Rent forever! *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* Rent forever! *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* .

Lots of people here seem to really view emulation via PC as being the only option you should take, and anything else is for idiots.
Not that I don’t see the reasoning as sound mind you, especially when it comes to more obscure titles you can’t get without paying for exorbitant prices, and of course, when online services you bought and played the games on shut down.
Even so, I guess the reason others don’t go for emulation is either because they don’t have a PC (or at least, one meant for gaming), or because they don’t want to have to go through the hassle of setting everything up.
Plus, the Switch being a portable machine and all that, not to mention the price hike on the Steam machines.

Well, technically it's one guy who treats emulation as a silver bullet to all the modern gaming woes because he played Chrono Trigger at age 30 on an SNES emulator (who also doesn't have a high opinion about you it seems) and is currently soying out over what the OoT remake might be because of a fucking logo not being the same as previous releases of OoT, I don't think that's really a "lots of people" thing, unless you can point to more users on the site with a similar attitiude.
Though humorously enough, the moment one of Markorian's posts about Switch 2 discourse gets quoted for what they didn't like about the Switch 2 in a non-extreme way, Markorian gets proven right without lifting a finger not even a page later. If only we had more of his wisdom in this thread.
Edit: and I see the other guy who clittyleaks whenever I point out how putting things in such a black and white manner is retarded gave his sticker, hello you!

all of the modern third party controllers are dogshit, they're pure chinesium and develop problems within a few months. just cough up the money for an original one on ebay since they'll last forever.
I can't speak for the n64 controller (though I have fond memories of the gamecube one) but most modern 1st party controllers suck dick in terms of longevity (including Nintendo's offerings). For a non-OG n64 controller I'd get the 8bitdo one; I know some have reported issues with that company but from my experience they're reasonably good for the price.

The poorfag excuse I kinda get, the second one is just another way to say that the person is an exceptionally lazy idiot (especially nowadays with emulators being more turnkey than ever before). Also, besides PC I know a lot of people do phone emulation (android usually, though I know ios has some nowadays).

Nintendo have learned all too well from Android's example.
Android is now almost as locked-down as iOS. There are precious few phones for which you can still download your own Android flavor, tweak it as desired, build it from sources and flash it onto modern, capable hardware while still being able to support the new "attestation" bullshit that app makers can use to force you to run only "official images." Not to mention even on devices that still permit bootloader unlocking, besides immediately breaking attestation, doing so also locks you out of vendor-specific features and functionality (just go unlock a Samsung phone to get root and see how much of One UI refuses to work after you gain root).
And finally, Google themselves are locking down the "sideloading" backdoor. They were going to nuke it entirely, and it took months of screaming at them from enthusiasts to back down from total lockdown to a new convoluted process just to order your own fucking hardware to allow you to install your own fucking software from your own fucking sources. It's disgusting. You literally have to wait 24 hours after "re-enabling sideloading" to be allowed to actually do it: Android's new sideloading rules are here, and they come with a 24-hour lock!
Seems to me Nintendo is being just as consumer-unfriendly and lockdown-happy as Google to me.

a fair point to make about Android and how restrictive it has become since the early days, but the only reason Android became what it has is because of those of us who were homebrewing apps and UI tweaks, running nightly builds of Cyanogen and whatnot. They saw what we were making the devices and OS’ do without them, and they integrated most of the features we built. We were the change/evolution that kept Android relevant, otherwise it would have been dead by around 2012 or 2013.
As for Samsung, they are basically the iPhone variant that runs on Android instead of iOS. They’ve always been a pain in the ass to work with unless you could flash a “U” code firmware to it that removed the restrictions of carrier mandated locks and bloatware. Even still, it all depended on whether you had a Snapdragon or Exynos variant that would determine whether or not you could even get root access at all. Knox and exynos chipsets were cunts to deal with.
Ultimately, my main point still stands. Nintendo should allow us to tweak settings to really push the hardware to its limits. I void the warranty by agreeing to unlock the system? Big deal. I haven’t bricked anything yet, and I’ve never burnt out a chipset by pushing it too far. Like I said, battery life would go into the toilet, but since the battery life on it already sucks, that’s no biggie. At least Nintendo would be able to collect real world data from overclocked systems to find out how they can tweak future software updates for better performance. With the right settings, you could make everything on the S2 run buttery smooth with 120hz refresh rates and 60FPS gameplay on EVERY game. If Nintendo wants to win the handheld console wars 2.0, they’re gonna need to let us tinker freely. On the other hand, I wouldn’t mind if Shiggy had to eat dirt sandwiches for a while for making stupid decisions. Case in point, jacking up the prices of the consoles just because. This is why I’m glad I got a day one console. The prices for launch were better than they are now, and better than what they will be in September.
Again, I have no real complaints with the console itself. I knew when I upgraded from the OG switch to the S2 that the battery life would suffer, but the amount of power it does have and the games it’s been running flawlessly is an acceptable trade off. My issue lies with the way Nintendo has been headed in a bad/restrictive direction for everyone except for their executives. They absolutely hate the homebrew community when they should be embracing us.
Wouldn't it be easier to compare to Apple and iOS because they never gave you even remotely as much freedom as Android ever did, even in the Wii days where the most they gave you was a photo application and way down the line the privilage to put WiiWare on an SD card to avoid suffocating the Wii's weak storage, the only difference is that homebrew actually let you do more with the Wii, like actual themes (and not in the vein of thinly veiled adverts like a lionshare of the 3DS' themes) and proper emulation in regards to what it could emulate.
Not even some of the "features" added later on in the lifespans of the Wii U or 3DS wouldn't even mean much in terms of user freedom like the folders are only good if you have OCD because you're still stuck to the strict 300 games/VC/Application limit (which can fill up really fast if you're one of the two whole people who bought every VC release or the aformentioned themes for 3DS where a large amount of them solely existed to promote a game or brand and not much else while the PS3 allowed you to install custom-made themes, and thier local backup uitilities absolutely pail in compaison to the homebrew equivelents, even back then.
The fact thier Pre-Switch consoles were easy to crack was probably a major factor as to why they tightened down as hard as they did, since it would mean the big evil P to the Y word for them and having a better experience by not h aving to abide by the artificial limitations put on them (even when thier web browsers wern't nearly as good as any desktop browser, nor did the charm save them), hense why HorizonOS (the Switch's internal OS made as secure as they could to the point that several homebrew reinterpretations couldn't even find any bugs in it, execpt they didn't account for the fact they were using a SoC as well known and doccumented as the Tegra X1 so it almost didn't even matter right up until they wanted to make a console with a SoC that wasn't well doccumented.
It's really easy to tell just how paranoid the people behind the Console OSes of the Wii U and 3DS were with how hard they tried to ensure there couldn't be an exploit from within itself before a game or digital release completely broke it in ways they didn't account for (on top of blacklisting flashcarts with updates), and it's more aparrent with how much harder they went with the Switch due to the above security they put into the OS and actively sandboxing anything that runs on it officially so there couldn't possibly be a game exploit that would have cracked it.
My point stands. Android was once open, and benefited for it, and is turning to dog shit being locked down like it is. Nintendo consoles were never particularly "open," but they at least weren't actively fucking hostile to people modding the hardware until now.
But now they're both locked down tight and going to shit for it.
I didn't compare Apple because they're an also-ran in gaming and have never once entertained being an open platform. Apple was walled-garden "DON'T TOUCH THAT YOU'LL BREAK IT, PEASANT!" from the start, by design and intent.
