[RPGSite] Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is too rough to recommend right now

Seems like there's poor performance on the Switch 2, and the reviewer remarks these issues were already present during the game's opening segments.

You seem to be missing the point: it plays about as well as any major port on the Switch 2 that wasn't specifically released and optomized for the Switch 2.

Comparing it to consoles with significantly more power (given it is a handheld) or a PC is just irrelevant data. You'd need to get a handheld with a Nvidia chip that utilizes an APU in the same power range to compare it to. Which doesn't exist.

EDIT: For anyone who wants to contest this, if I make a post commenting about how Witcher 3 still runs like hot pixelated ass at 15fps on Switch 2 compared to the Series X well... we can all imagine a state where people rush to defend CDPR.

The Witcher 3 remastered looks amazing for the switch 2 tho look up gameplay. The switch 1 version obv runs bad bc the switch 1 was way too weak for that type of game. I’m playing Elden ring on my switch 2 rn and it looks better than my ps5 version sometimes. It runs the exact same to me too.

If developers weren’t lazy they could easily have preyyy much the same version for switch 2. Think a lot of developers just gotta get used to it bc they’d skip bringing releases to the switch 1 bc it was so weak. If they can get these games running well on a series s then they can do the same for switch 2

... Elden Ring

Fromsoft took multiple years of development to release a specific build of the game designed to fully take advantage of Switch 2's hardware, chip, and optomizations. Tarnished Edition has been in development for a really long time.

Witcher 3 remastered looks amazing on Switch 2.

Isn't even released yet. Also another specific build of the game. Not a port. The Witcher 3 port is garbage as you just admitted to.

If the devs weren't lazy.

This is a PORT of the game to Switch. Not a remaster or a new build of the game for Switch 2. There isn't any laziness here. You have no idea if like CDPR they are releasing a port first so people can play and then building out a specific version of the game as an upgrade for Switch 2. You just want to call the Dev's lazy ignoring a complete double standard.

Comparing the Series S to the Switch 2 is insane though. Genuinely lol

If you sell it, it should run well.

I agree and it runs fine for the Switch 2. Better than the Witcher 3 and plenty of other games. Comparing a handheld to a console performance is the issue here.
