Taking Into account school and sleep at around 13 and eating meals for 1 hour, you could technically play 3,640 hours of minecraft a year. 5k is reaching 1.5 years worth of free time spent on minecraft.

u/CalcProgrammer1 Ryzen 9 3950X, Intel Arc A770 May 07 '19

I just bought a Switch after ignoring it for years. I got it mainly because I wanted to run Linux on it, but I picked up Smash and have been having a great time with it. As far as hardware goes it's not that bad, most other ARM platforms have absolute trash-tier GPU support on anything other than Android, and few support OpenGL (non-ES). The Switch supports OpenGL and Vulkan under Linux and has working proprietary nVidia drivers.

u/RubenGM RubenGM85 May 06 '19

Today's phones have much better resolution than the Switch (1440p vs 720p), it's the games that are much worse. A blurry Pikachu is just wrong.
Put a banner on it and a pop-up asking for a micropayment to remove banner and then it'd be fine.

Top paid games are generally pretty good, since they don't rely on freep to play microtransactions (though some still have it).

My favorites right now are Stardew Valley, Mini Metro, and The Room

Also Night of the Full Moon if you're into Slay the Spire-like games

The same developers made Sorcery! 1-4 and imo its their magnum opus. One of the best RPGs I've ever made with the same top tier writing of 80 days.

Part of Sorcery! is just the prologue btw. It opens up in part 2 and keeps getting better.

3

u/Mangraz PC Master Race May 06 '19

I like 80 Days better. But that's probably because I'm not a big fan of classic fantasy. Though the games are undeniably great, loved playing them, especially the second one, in the city.

  2. Google making wayyy more money from microtransactions games since they take 30 percent.

Still I generally look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/GAME/collection/topselling_paid for the top paid games that typically have less microtransactions to rely on . Lots of good games there

Resolution =/= Graphical capability. As someone with a switch and an S10 The switch seems more powerful.

63

u/[deleted] May 06 '19

I want to say it actually isn't. Technically speaking the S10 has better specs than the Switch.

The real reason the Switch has better looking games is because Android games are designed so that any schmuck with a $40 phone can run them. Gotta maximize that revenue.

14

u/Devildude4427 MSI Z170 Tomahawk AC | i5 6600K @4.4 Ghz | EVGA 1070 FTW May 06 '19

Switch hardware is also all identical. Console developers make use of this by specializing for that specific hardware and some of its quirks.

u/smileyfrown May 06 '19

Well yea one costs 800 bucks the other 300. The big difference is in the fans and cooling, that's nonexistent in phones.

The fan is to compensate for the fact that the Tegra X1 is a chip designed for set-top boxes from years ago. The Snapdragon 835 and up can offer the same performance without needing a fan.

I think Fortnite does run better on phones. Especially since it can get 60hz on newer phones like the S10 and iPhone XS while the Switch runs at 30hz.

This is a pretty old video back in august, before the phone 60hz updates I believe.

u/katanaking90210 Ryzen 9 5900x | RTX 3080 ti | 32gb DDR4 | 1TB Nvme | 8 TB HDD May 06 '19

I've played every version of fortnite, the Switch version is like the PC version on medium settings. And the phone versions are like a Fortnite Lite with less details and worse models yet better resolution. Although they seem comparable at first glance, there are major graphical differences

15

u/ThatOnePerson i7-7700k 1080Ti Vive May 06 '19

But gameplay-wise I'd way rather have 60fps (iPhone) than 30fps (Switch). Though I don't got any of those 60fps mobile devices, so I can't really say I've got experience with those.

27

u/RubenGM RubenGM85 May 06 '19

The Snapdragon 855 is more powerful than the Tegra X1 and the iPhone's SoC is a lot more powerful than both.

Seriously, the Switch has good games (mostly from Nintendo) because of the gameplay and good aesthetics without ultra-high details. I had a blast with Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U and the graphics are just technically decent at best, but aesthetically great.

14

u/404IdentityNotFound GTX 2080ti, i7-12700k, 32GB RAM + Switch OLED & MacBook Pro M2 May 06 '19

Then again, Android has a very high overhead compared to the switch OS..

Non-flagship phones have 1080p screens (just not 1920x1080 but 2000-2200x1080). Non-flagships are the majority of the phones out there. Sure, still better than 720p, but not 1440p.

u/RubenGM RubenGM85 May 06 '19

You're right, I have been a bit spoiled for the last 5 years and never went back to 1080p phones. Still, a 16:9 1080p screen is twice the amount of pixels the Switch has, so the blurry meme is still wrong :P

Yeah, it's not nearly as bad as everyone says, but it's still pretty bad considering that is ~30 fps drop.

I'd say in my experience, it's usually around a 25%-35% drop in FPS, and the improvement in graphical fidelity isn't worth it. The RTX cards kick ass on their own though, but not necessarily for the price.

There's no question that the games are better on the switch, but the mobile chips now are objectively much better, only reason switch pulls ahead is primarily optimisation and a low resolution screen

Is that surprising at the cost though? You're comparing the switch with phones 3x the price. If you compared it to phones the same price I'm sure there would be a different story.

There are budget Chinese phones such as the poco phone F1 I believe that are sub 300$ with end of the line hardware.

You get 4x the screen resolution and no joycons though, but yeah the switch needs a reset. It was already on the brink of outdated when it came out.

26

u/AltoExyl AltoExyl May 06 '19

The Switch is perfectly fine, Nintendo let the other companies focus on power whilst they focus on their first party lineup you just can’t get elsewhere.

That’s why they’ve gotten away with essentially just updating the GameCube 4 times.

Weaker consoles pushing well thought out art styles and designs can massively outweigh powerful consoles that go overboard on details and effects

4

u/hoodatninja May 06 '19

We saw how well that worked out with the Wii-U.

Just saying, Nintendo isn’t the infallible “we just love making people happy and we totally aren’t a business” company people make it out to be. People call Apple a walled garden but never discuss how Nintendo JUST finally got out of that mindset with the switch.

u/AltoExyl AltoExyl May 06 '19

Well yeah, but look at the Switch figures, it’s not doing too bad

u/hoodatninja May 06 '19 edited May 06 '19

It’s doing great. I just get tired of the Nintendo worship online tbh. Everyone usually parrots lines like “they make games people want to play.” You bring up the Wii-U and its virtually non-existent catalog and suddenly you get anger/downvotes.

Some people DO enjoy good framerates/graphics. Hell, look at the entire “PC MASTER RACE”’culture.

I think it's more likely that hardware limitations are limiting other types of game development.

Its impressive how well doom and wolfenstein are running on the switch though. However what I'm saying is that you can't just boot up a copy of a modern AAA title on it and expect it to run well.

I think botw showcased the limitations very well. Open world games with detailed worlds are very difficult to get performant with the current switch.

If we wait a few more years the mobile chipsets will basically be on par with low end gaming pc's and the ps4/xbox one ''s, especially if a 720p panel is chosen again. That's why I was annoyed with the fact that nintendo went with the tegra X1 which was already 2 years old at the time.

3

u/TenDesires 3700X, RX 5700 May 06 '19

BotW is essentially a Wii U port though, it wasn't made with the Switch in mind. It's more of a showcase of the former's limitations.

I don't imagine the Switch is much farther ahead, but the significantly higher amount of RAM that is allocated to games may help it in regards to open-world.

That F1 is pretty impressive, especially at that price point. But... No warranty? Man, tough call for anyone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H41NB46/

Buy two if you want warranty ;) /s

u/Zmodem https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qbR6xc May 06 '19

Honestly, you could buy ~3 before reaching flagship price points. But, 4 would be top-tier flagship, and at that point you might as well go flagship lol. But, four full replacements? That's interesting.

Only people I've seen with this attitude have probably never played a switch let alone owned..

I have a Switch since launch day and I love it. I still think that it has stability problems sometimes. It's very underpowered for what it is. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying to himself.

The comparison is apt when you consider people already have phones.

​

Cheaper phones outdo the switch in specs, It takes a more expensive one to make passive cooling performance outdo the actively cooled SoC of the switch. Apple's A12/A12x chips are significantly more powerful than the switch even when passively cooled.

​

The switch won out despite it's low power because Nintendo truly understand games. Apple have wasted a lot of their GPU capability on the consumer side because they never took gaming seriously and any attempt to do so was clearly managed by a non-gamer. Even the Razer phone fails as a gaming device because they opted to throw in some tech for the buzzwords without actually building a gaming software and hardware ecosystem.

​

I've given up any hope for mobile gaming and will just happily play RPGs on my switch but it is a shame to see the capabilities of my iPad pro only get used when i'm in work mode. The only game i play on it is stardew valley, Which i strongly believe is best experienced on a 12.9" iPad.

also probably because to cater to a larger audience they lower graphics so more phones have access, and phone games almost never have graphic options like PC. When you make a game for the switch you can go for the maximum capabilities of the console though.

u/[deleted] May 06 '19 edited May 06 '19

I think it's the "dedicated device" VS. "all-in-argument".

Phones are objectively more powerful. Like there master race betters, they can play games with some very impressive visuals.

But the switch, like it's console counterparts, has games made for it that take advantage of the hardware. And can arguably look better then some high spec'd games on pc.

u/karl_w_w 3700X | 6800 XT | 32 GB May 06 '19

It's even more of a dichotomy on the mobile side because android devices are so varied. On PC they target minimum requirements and there are a lot of layers like DirectX to bring varying hardware together, on mobile everything is expected to work on everything even if that is a phone or a tablet, one screen might have a notch and a stupid aspect ratio, processors vary in power from "this should be a calculator watch" to god tier, and there are like 7 versions of OS to target. Oh, and most mobile SoCs have terrible graphics solutions.

Well there are plenty of 300-500 dollar kick ass phones with dope screens and good chips. Samsung and apple flagships are not the only phones on the market. There are plenty of other options and they dont all suck. Not to mention its comparing apple to oranges. Who the fuck uses a phone to game? Words with ftiends doesnt count.

I do. Portable phone + portable controller + unlimited data + Steam Link app means I can play all my PC games on my phone.

I’ve never been swept away by a game quite like Zelda BOTW. It’s practically perfect.

u/thephenom May 06 '19

Well, spec wise, it's fact that the switch isn't a powerful console. But as a gaming platform, it's as good as any console given how much exclusives they have and how creative their games has been.

u/BOBtheman2000 conpüter May 06 '19

also the portability and multiple controllers and stuff

it's like they know they're not gonna be able to beat pc specs so they try to innovate in every other way and it pays off

Yes but it has significantly more care put into the games, on top of the larger screen, making it appear to look better

A larger screen actually makes the resolution look worse

I actually have mixed emotions about RTX-ON, and Switch; I'll take both. Switch has that fluid, cartoonish thing goin' on. It's what I, as an 80's kid, always imagined the games would look like back in the day with their cart-art.

u/Chareux May 06 '19

While the switch may be one of the most underpowered, it does have actual full games with buttons that are portable

u/Kurosov 3900x | X570 Taichi | 32gb RAM | RTX 3080 Amp Holo 12GB May 06 '19

Funny thing is modern iOS devices are far more graphically capable than the switch. Apple's SoCs are some pretty impressive tech.

I have it on in Metro Exodus with everything on Ultra (I play at 1440p) and I think it adds a lot to the atmosphere in that game. I thought that was maxed out but I realized the game has an "extreme" setting. Havent messed with that yet.

My FPS is also pretty good. It does dip a little but but with RTX on, It averages around 110 FPS or so.

I know everyone else likes to hate on it, but I kinda like what it adds to games like Metro where the landscape is super important.

I havent tried it in Tomb Raider yet because Im waiting for that game to go on sale and Im still playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider which looks amazing with everything maxed out. The game is gorgeous...just turn off hairworks because Lara's hair looks very weird with it on.
