I didn't know it took you a month to get the 3080. I take back what I said. I can't remember if the Switch was difficult for me to get. My memory is shit. Regardless, I understand your concern. My first move is to get the XSX then the PS5 later on. I will buy the switch pro, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I might be interested in a beefed up Switch if it's easy to transfer over all my save data but knowing Nintendo it might not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never hear about people trying to get them like ps5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought Cyberpunk on my Xbox so I will eventually want to play that. The ps5 is more appealing to me but I can hold off for a little. I'm excited for Resident Evil Village which isn't too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotW is a launch title and often runs badly. I love the Switch, too. I have less of a problem with the performance of the system itself insomuch as I do with the fact that Nintendo itself hasn't been great at designing games to spec from jump. Also I hope that a larger Switch means Joycons that don't blow ass? One hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOTW got patched to a good enough state imo and it runs at a decent resolution so I didn’t put it on my list, but yeah from the start you have an example there. I think it’s just that BOTW ran good enough for a launch game but things haven’t gotten better. The system was pretty much tapped out right away. Also just BOTW was amazing to see as a handheld game so any dips were kinda whatever in comparison but now in 2021 I’m ready to be impressed again or at least have everything run nice.

nublood Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I would totally go through BotW again at 4k 60fps. And I’ve been through it 4 times, twice on WiiU and twice on the Switch. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Apart from just having one to play some cross gen games - is there actually a reason to upgrade at the moment? I’d love a PS5, but what would I be buying it for really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't enough exclusives out yet, and while playing PS4 games at a higher resolution and framerate would be nice, is it really $500 nice? No. Wait for a sale or bundle.

crispy4000 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The PS5/XSX will seem very outdated in their RT capability by mid-gen, if they’re not already. That’ll be a catalyst for an upgrade, much as 4K TVs were for the Pro/X1X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a new switch, mine sounds like a jet engine when it boots, I think one of the fans is busted. This is an odd comment. I have never ever even heard my switch while it's on or off, docked or handheld. I have felt it reach warm while playing but is there really 2x fans in the unit itself?

HardAct Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Well I can't say that I have dropped the unit itself so you have me there. Look at us getting along and everything...lol After reading your comment I did google Nintedo Switch loud fans and found plenty of people with the issue. Below is a quick link to a YouTube fix for fans and thermal paste, it looks really easy. Hopefully this can help you?
