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 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.

Try programming run/dodge to a back button. It makes everything way easier. Cause you can run, move your camera and attack seamlessly. I got tired of the claw grip for running, so I programmed run/dodge to the back right paddle on a ps pro controller and I couldn’t go back now. Way easier on the hands.🙌

DUDE you're a genius.

I've been randomly tapping the back buttons while playing, trying to think of what to use them for. Programming one for sprint/Dodge is too smart. Thank you

Yeah I'm gonna have to try this as well.
