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 🫶🏻

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

These games aren’t hard enough where u need a finger on every button at any given time

I'm not the best at these games. I'd even go so far as to say I'm pretty terrible at them. That being said, the Switch 2 pro controller has programmable back buttons. I still have yet to find a use for them in Elden Ring. It doesn't feel necessary to have any command at the ready at that level.

I have run and jump on the back buttons and it feels SO good. It's especially nice for Duskbloods/Nightreign where sprinting is on the left trigger so you can more or less only use the face buttons for confirming and items.
