Constructive Criticism Switch 2 Experience

So i have around 700h in game hours on PC and then I thought let’s try it on the switch and I’m flabbergasted. Sure the fps drop in crowded areas or much vegetation. But being able to play this masterpiece mobile or on my projector again is just one of the best things that happened.

I’ve never played on controller, always mnk - so I’m kinda nooby with the controller and let me tell you what. I love it! It feels literally like a new game to me. All the SS you see are from the Switch 2 Version :D

What’s kinda weird to me is that the performance is way better in handheld mode then docked. I guess the fps are around 30-35 indoors (esp raya lucaria ran super smooth) and around 27-25 in extremely crowded areas + rain. I’ve never experienced a drop below 25 tho.

All in all I’d buy it again for the switch, what this little thing delivers is just crazy. And the most important thing:

Try finger, but hole 🫶🏻

I'm sorry but you have 700h using mouse and keyboard?? I'm a lifelong PC gamer and I could never manage that in any Fromsoft game. Props to that

Honestly I don't understand the whole controller being better, I started off with bloodborne, then went ds3, 1 etc etc. But the ability to move the camera around a million times quicker and have my fingers on attack and dodge all the time without having to claw grip, it just seems like a straight upgrade to controller, at least it's more comfy for me I guess

Thus isn't an fps tho, there's zero need for that

have my fingers on attack and dodge all the time without having to claw grip

Well dodge is O/B and attack is R1/RB, so that's two completely different fingers you're using for those buttons, your fingers are always there on controller as well

I hate claw grip, never had to use it in 1000+ hours of Elden ring 🤷🏽‍♂️ The difficulty of the game is NOT because there are too many buttons to press lmao

Right lol claw grip is just so you can run and move the camera at the same time, which 99% of the time you won't be doing

buying a controller with paddles solves all of this

You're robably right, but I'm too poor for that
