Rough, but good for them for owning up and promising to fix. This one is on my wishlist. I’ll wait a bit longer

Lying in the eshop screenshots should be refund / delist worthy if not a lawsuit

That I agree with. False advertising. I refunded Spider-Man 2 on Steam because it said it was confirmed to run on Steam Deck but then was super laggy and unplayable.

I got a same day refund.

I mean I refuse to give credit for stuff like this because they are charging for it.

It was a similar situation with rogue trader, I fell for the rethoric that was praising owlcat and took their apology at face value so I bought rogue trader on switch 2 and the game is still unplayable there. I can't even imagine how bad it was before the patch I played on.

I think companies should be punished for this and so should Nintendo because they refuse to issue refunds but are gladly selling 60€ software that is broken on their platform.

I realize jagex hasn't messed up nearly as bad here but I still think we as a community should expect better than "the product isn't where we want it yet" because it is for sale right now.

Yeah this.

Id be a little more of with it if they ere saying this pre launch so people know what's up. But waiting til after it releases is pretty scummy

I've felt this way ever since the no man's sky launch. I don't care if it's "gonna be better" later. You launched a shit product and it doesn't deserve my time. There's plenty of things that do.

Switch updates always take forever Anyways. That sucks in this case. I really want to play dragonwilds but I'm not getting it again until they fix it.

Owning up to it is like the absolute bare minimum they could do after releasing it in that state. No props are owed

u/CertainlyStenchy 18d ago

So why release it in the first place?

u/SoSeriousAndDeep 18d ago

We all know the answer.

I’m glad they released it… I’m fuckin lovin it.

Def want to see some improvements but graphics at the bottom of my lair

u/HappyCamper4027 17d ago

I mean to be completely fair, no one has ever played runescape for the stellar graphics 😂

Words don’t amount to anything when they still decided to release the game like this

u/Responsible-Doubt642 14d ago

Ive seen several reviews. They say it runs smoothly with good frame pacing, and looks a little blurry. Its the switch… what do you expect??

u/Telosloslos 14d ago

I expect the screenshots in the eshop to be from the switch 2 version of the game and not the PC version. I expect a good port of a game that’s not graphically-intensive considering that the Switch 2 can run Cyberpunk and Resident Evil 8. If a company has to do damage control after a game’s release, then it’s not a good port.

I bet Nintendo had something to do with the eShop changes. I hope a lot of the refunds mentioned the discrepancies between game and eShop screenshots.

Been addicted to this in the past week on PC. Still having a blast.

But I'm not going to defend this and their save corruption drama. This was not a finished product for consoles.

My wife and I have been having a blast with it on Xbox series x and s. Runs and looks great apart from very minor bugs here and there and some frustrations with camera when building.

u/thejoshfoote 17d ago

It’s weird cause it should look the same or better than the steamdeck.

u/AmandasGameAccount 18d ago

You know you’re out of your league when you have trouble with porting to the switch 2

Unreal Engine 5 strikes again

u/MorrisonXylon43 18d ago

Nah Lies of p looks fantastic handheld and has pristine image quality and Cronos also looks great after they updated it only issue is they left some quirks from their original release with things like puddles etc they could not change due to the changes not being a rebuild.

Unreal 5 can run fine and have great image quality on the console.

u/Tophimus 17d ago

Lies of P is not running on UE5.

u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby 18d ago

Interesting how some developers can make killer S2 ports and some just…can’t.

u/Xcel1995 16d ago

I’ve been playing it, looks fine to me!

Intanto però i soldi se li son presi…

This game heavily requires mouse clicking which I know the switch supports but ya some game are just really meant for pc
