You keep posting lots of links about how bad it is. Here's an idea, try to use it yourself and do a real review of it, instead of always posting bad links you dredge up from youtube.
Otherwise it makes you appear like a troll hoping the system does bad, and gets tiresome to those of us looking for real information instead of someone's youtube search of "switch sucks".
You honestly think I spend time during my day actively looking for negative things about the Switch? I WISH I had that much free time on my hands.
To address the accusations leveled at me, just because you've had great experiences with it doesn't mean the experience is universal. You mentioned that "I've been playing it on a 55" tv. Don't see any issues with it." Well good for you, but LOTS of other people say otherwise, so either A: You're one of a lucky few that isn't experiencing it, or B: You just haven't noticed that there is an issue. Reporting on inconsistent performance is not me taking a sh*t on Nintendo, but rather its me letting people know about a VERY REAL PROBLEM with what is the biggest release on this system, and will likely remain to be the biggest release until Super Mario Odyssey comes out. And as I've mentioned NUMEROUS times, the performance issues may be the result of unpolished code, and not that its a bad game. As a programmer myself, I can tell you that a developer almost NEVER releases something in a perfect state, or even the most ideal. You get something that is as good as it can be out the door and then go through your "TODO" list later on. Of course, that's assuming you're not swamped with bug fixes at the same time.
The fact that Zelda was released in such a relatively good state to begin with is a testament to how GOOD the developers were. Remember that this was arguably the biggest game Nintendo has EVER made in terms of scope and ambition, which is already a massive task. Then the higher ups told the developers that they had to not only finish development on the Wii U version, but also at the same time port it over to a completely different system, AND it HAD to be ready as a LAUNCH title. Kudos to Nintendo for releasing such a polished product at launch.
Having said all that, people DESERVE to know before they spend $360+ of their hard earned money how the game performs in various conditions, and at this point it's basically a FACT that the game has more noticeable performance hits in docked mode than it does in portable mode. For someone like me, who will be playing every game in docked mode more than in portable mode, that's a serious issue. Time will tell if this will happen more often, but when it happens on the biggest release of the launch, it's news.
I don't hate on things nor am I a troll, nor do I think I'm acting as such by posting negative news about something. It's not MY fault that the Nintendo Switch is a RUSHED system that was released simply to appease stockholders with a nice end of fiscal year bump to sales/profits. This is made evident by the lack of games, lack of basic system features, lack of full online service, and lack of virtual console. Speaking of VC, just because YOU don't play Virtual Console stuff doesn't mean a lot of other people don't. By your logic, if your local McDonald's doesn't have fish sandwiches anymore, as long as you don't eat them, WHO CARES?! Well, everyone ELSE who DOES eat them cares! And to not have the VC up at launch likely affected a number of people and made them NOT want to buy the system at that time.
BTW, no one is FORCING you to watch the stuff I post, and I'm not posting videos that say "HUR HUR SWITCH SUCKS WATCH THIS."
Just to refresh your memory, the videos I have posted here are:
Switch Reveal
Jimmy Fallon Debuting the Switch on The Tonight Show
My own thoughts on the Switch and Game lineup revealed (A video you Liked, BTW)
A Super Mario Odyssey Parody Video
Nintendo Switch Unboxing
A link to a video from someone who illegally got a Switch early and showed off the UI (Not a YT link)
Introducing the eShop and News
A video from Digital Foundry documenting that Zelda runs better in Portable mode than Docked Mode (BTW, DF does visual and frame rate analysis on ALL major releases, as you can see on their channel.
An iFixit teardown of the Switch
Finally this post from earlier where you accused me of intentionally looking for bad things about Nintendo, where I provided evidence to my point that Zelda has some performance issues.
So the only "Switch Sucks Video" I posted seems to be from an independent company that provided hard evidence that Zelda has performance issues, unlike you who just provided anecdotal evidence.
To finally put this to bed because I refuse to waste anymore of my time "defending" myself against baseless accusations questioning my bias and/or credibility, me reporting bad things about Nintendo is simply me reporting stuff that has been reported elsewhere. I'm not about to go out and spend hundreds of dollars to buy my own Switch and games to confirm every single issue that others have with their system. I'm just relaying information. Rather than focus on my reporting of these things, instead just enjoy your Switch. And once again, I am NOT a Nintendo hater. You can like a company but also point out when they do crappy things or things that don't work out perfectly, and Nintendo is experiencing that right now.
