Yeah, I actually had the MGS collection on my Wish List... but then I hear about the gimping (and particularly MGS2 apparently has problems on the Switch, and that's legit my favorite of the series) so I start thinking "Wait.... I already own these on PS2, do I really need to buy them again?"
I agree with all of your points. And I even know how to do all that stuff. But I don't anymore... no particular reason.
I got a new microsd card and everything is downloading. Everything fits, no more Sophie's Choice with Dragon's Lair vs. Night Trap. Watching the little progress bars fill up is like the world's easiest rpg, very satisfying.
No, it's not the sd, it's how they implemented it. Basically you choose what to download manually, most of it online despite having a cart, so in theory you could save space, but if you wanted everything like me, it was slow, because there was no download all button
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't switch carts go up to 64gbs? What was so hard about shoving that all into one physical cart and calling it a day?
I think the 32gb cart cost something like 20 bucks, compared to the 10 - 15 bucks that a PS or Xbone disc costs, so I'd imagine the 64gb cart digs even more into the profit margins. I'm not even sure any game uses a 64gb cart, I can't find anything about it other than that it exists. There's only a couple games that use the 32gb cart in the first place.
Konami's incompetency, that's what.
I'm not sure any Switch game has ever come out on a 64GB cart. The contents on cart need to match what's on the eshop, with the caveat of game cartridges that use downloads for more or cartridges that bundle multiple SKUs. If you can find an eshop game over 32GB aside from MK 11 and NBA 22 that would be it,.
Yes, although it jumps up to 60 in very weird, very quick spots, usually involving hitting loading triggers and any close-up camera angles.
Switch is 30fps unless the game zooms up such as interacting with closets or the transition between levels where it goes back to 60.
I'm just glad I sprung for that 512 gb Samsung Micro SD, like holy shit, I needed that little extra bit of download speed compared to the SanDisk cards
What did the Vita port run at? I'm assuming 30fps, and it felt buttery smooth to me. If Switch at least matches the performance there then it's adequate imo.
Are you noticing a difference?
I mean I've only used Samsung so I have no clue, I just assume it goes faster because the speeds are faster on the box. It doesn't lag, that's for sure
The speed on the box is mostly meaningless (for games at least, not if you use it for cameras) because it is sequential speed when games will generally be limited by the random seek/write speeds. Hence why despite SD Cards lagging behind even HDDs on sequential, the higher random of flash storage lets them do a lot better than HDD storage.
Huh. That explains why it feels as quick as my Xbox one X that has a standard HDD. Photos and video must just demand a lot of bandwidth I guess, explains their filesize
Atari 50 set a new standard: the day one patch removed a game from the collection, due to rights issues or something. It's on the physical release, but the patch will prevent you from accessing it. So perhaps we can look forward to the day when offensive content and misinformation can be purged even from physical releases.
That reminds me of when Nintendo replaced Kirbopher in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Even though his voice acting was completely finished and already in the game, they pushed out an update that made it inaccessible. And it wasn't even for legal reasons, they just wanted to spite him.
