How we feeling about this?
>GKC says 75GB>eShop says it's 41GBHuh
>game-key card
>>741245747Pass that to me, I'm on my way to the trash bin
>>741245747It's a 5 year old game sold at full price and it's not even on the cart.Probably runs at 540p 26fps as well.
>>741245747>inferior 5 year old portAnyone who buys this is a moron.
>>741245747>GKC
>>741245747I played Elden ring on the steam deck when it came out, and it was OK, didn't have any notable performance issues, the low resolution of the handheld screen means it really doesn't stress the system that much. ate battery pretty fast though. I don't have a lot of faith in 3rd party switch ports. but it should be fine.
Like DS1, this is Elden Ring Definitive Edition and the way the game was meant to be played.
>>741245747It's still goyslop
>>741245747I don't. Never cared about rollslop.
>>741245747I'd probably pick it up if it wasn't $80I've got close to 3000 hours in ER but paying that much again for it to probably run like ass is too much
>>741254984>run like assretard
>>741245747>$80>GKCMiss me with that
>>741245747Not so good desu
>>74124587175GB is the PC version, that was before they optimized it.Can you imagine how beefy it would have been if they weren't forced to optimize it. Switch 2 is a god send.
Have you given thanks to Switch 2 players and Nintendo today?
can you play seamless co-op mod with it (with invasions ON)
>>741245747>ultra low setting foliage>Inconsistent framerateEmbarassing
>>741256196>optimizedIs that the new codeword for lower resolution assets?
>>741256487Tell that to Pragmata , Re9, etc.
>>741256525Both of which use lower resolution assets....
>>741245747thanks for the new stuff that will be added to pc later i guess
>>741256552They don't though? What cope post is this even
>>741256698>NUH uh! https://youtu.be/KZGqSDlKcIo?is=3XDbpbwKJbMWWkbh
didn't care enough to buy roll slop in 2022, still don't care enough to buy roll slop in 2026
>>741256742>he watchedhere we go again
>>741256698Not only are textures lower resolution, but you can see the obvious disparity in polycount of the mesheshttps://youtu.be/VQLNyONEqok?is=WinTfd-iRLe6TKgw
>>741256886>>>741256863What is this phenomena called?
>>741256863>no bro, we actually cut the game size in half thanks to power word "Optimization"
>>741257145Uhh the fuck do you think optimization means? Pc has rot your brain
>>741257223You sell "optimization" as uncompromizing reduction in filesize and improved performance.I call it what it is, cutting polycount, texture and audio resolution. Hence why it doesn't look as good on switch 2
>>741257303>it doesn't look as good on the switch 2Man this post really didn't age well did it archieve.com
>>741257351It doesn'tSee: >>741256886>>741256742
>>741257428>he continue posting what he watched even when it's outright wrongDo anons really?
>>741257621>ESLNevermind
>>741257650>EOLthat explains it
>>741245747Why would you want to play the worst version of Elden Ring besides maybe the base 2014 PS4 version
>>741257682Tendiecult desperation
>>741257303>uncompromizing reduction in filesizeSwitch 2 doesn't do 4k, why have that in the filesize.
>>741258050You forgot to attach an image to your epic post btw
>>741245747>Key CardI'll wait for it to be at least half off if Bamco and FromSoft are that desperate to pawn off making me buy another SD card.
>>741245747>$80 subpar 5-year-old GKC portAbsolutely fucking not. God the Switch 2 is such trash.
>>741256487Console optimization is almost always a hard cope for gutting a game. Very rarely is it actual optimization without noticeable downsides.
>>741258332Ehhh is the game plus the dlc sweetie
why would anyone want to play the worst version>le portableplay on steam deck or any portable pc/laptop that would be less cucked that using a keycard
>>741256698Don't make me post diana's hair dude.
>>741258467Don't make me post it dude.
>>741258520Do it!
>>741258576Aiiiieee save me negroman
>>741258726What does that have to do with the game being downgraded
>>741258893Is not.
>>741258893Downgraded? No, it was optimized for the Switch 2, pc has really rot your brain hasn't it?
>>741259171Pure cope. The only thing PC has done is make me realize how utter dogshit consoles and their business model are.
>>741259276Pc rot
>>741256698>anon doesn't understand dlss upscaling
>>741259428>>>741259341
I'm assuming that whatever class or stuff they are adding will not be free on PC?
>>741259527>anon doesn't understand "nintendo magic"
>>741259552I'm pretty sure it's gonna be ~$10 for two classes, a few weapons, and horse armor.
>>741259341Console retardation
>he does it for freeLol
>>741245747If they can port 6 year old games to the swoitch 2 why can;t they port bloodborne to PC?
>>741245747I'll get it once it's on a reasonable sale.
>>741259697Sony. But who cares, Bloodborne is already on PC and plays it better than the PS4 ever could. Hell, I beat it on my Steam Deck.
>>741245747i just dont bother with KWAB cards,
Fuck Nintendo for allowing this cringe key card bullshit.
>>741260684Bro you pay for a license to play your games wat
>>741260684Allowing? It's what they want, they're pushing for it.
>>741245747Its shit for the price they want for it. A game key card game should always cost 9$.I got both SF6 and Bravely default for 9$ new at my store that had the game key card games on sale, because no one bought them at 80$. Kek
>>741245747it’s the second worst of the big 7 fromsoft game. only demon souls is worse
>>741258196They cant answer this
>>741261097Resolution and Refresh Rate: The Switch 2 outputs 3840x2160 (4K) at a maximum of 60 fps via HDMI 2.0 when docked.
>>741258726But do you have her amiibo?
>>741245747Very funny because you'll see tendies seething about the gamekey thing but they really don't have a choice here, they NEED to buy this since the Shitch 2 legit has no games and this is unironically better than anything they played in the last 10 years.
>>741261236I do not, no. Was never a fan of figurines myself
>>741261354
>>741261404Kek
>>741245747>retards seething about game key cardsWe live in the 21st century faggots. Just buy the game digitally like you already do on Steam after sucking Gaben's cock
>>741262143Yeah this is what I don't get, all this whinning and they have 100+ licenses in their pc. Wat
Tendies avoideded PC comparisons since the Wii era so they are not fit for being pwned by the master race.
>>741245747Don’t care about nintendies but am anxiously waiting for the upgrade so I can finally get all the endings after 2k hours put into it.
>>741262143>>741262179if nintendo had had the same e-shop since the wii era and you could still download and play all those games you bought in 2007 on your switch 2 today, then you would have a point
>>741262483My Wii and WiiU have all the games I downloaded through their eship and can still play them to this day, same with my Nintendo DS, and 3DS, wat
>>741262581you can't buy a wii, wii u, ds or 3ds anymore.the argument is about being able to play those games on current hardware
>>741262693You're buying licenses while complaining about game key cards
>>741262143Digital on PC is not a problem. It's an open platform.Digital on consoles is. Consoles are physical DRM.
>>741262772It's all licenses, retard. Nintendo didn't sell any game to you, you paid to be granted a revocable licenses with far more terms and conditions than on PC.
>>741262967Coping hard now I see
>>741245747After DS1R compressed the audio so heavily to make it fit onto a Switch 1 cartridge, I'm unironically glad it's game key card.
>>741262772Key cards are physical DRM.
>>741263167Is that what your fav eceleb is saying now?
>>741262772its a pretty good bet that 20 years from now i could buy a new pc, connect it to the internet, log into my steam account and download and play my gamesdo you think nintendo's console that will be current 20 years from now will be able to play your switch 2 game key card? will it even be able to download an play digital downloads from the switch/switch 2?
>>741263101You are indeed.
>>741256196This goes way back to Wii U. I think most games were forced to be around 6GB, so they crushed down 40GB games. On Switch 1 I think it was around 20GB from 60GB.>>741256487Yes, retard. You should see the magic they did on Tony Hawk 1+2 on Switch, or Doom 2016/Eternal. It requires also making NEW assets because you can't just lower polygons through software. You have to hand make the lower poly assets. The only thing holding Tony Hawk 1+2 back is the insistance on Unreal Dogshit Engine (muddy textures, plastic generic look, texture load pop in). For Doom it runs on idTech with ARM support so it actually runs and looks amazing, so all the Wolfenstein games look amazing on Switch 1, and it's why Indiana Jones on Switch 2 is a thing with Ray Tracing and HDR.I have a PC, and I know most games are 90GB+ because the devs simply dont give a fuck and don't have Nintendo forcing them to optomize.
>>741263231That's precisely what I can do on a Switch 2 nowadays, wat
>>741258196Neither does PS5/Series X but they do it anyway. Even on PC, 4k assets should be an optional download. Several switch games do this with language audio because it's stupid to force third world languages like Portuguese, Chinese, Or Russian on a game made for a Japanese/American audience.
I bought the game for sixty I should get sote for twenty
>>741263367you can't play games you bought for wii on your switch
>>741263565Mention one (1)
>>741260920No they don't. It's exactly because third parties are so fucking cheap, even little family run businesses like Capcom and Sega. They're the reason we were getting an empty box with a fucking paper code. The thing is that the carts are expensive because these retards drop a 6/10 game/port at full price, and in 3 months that game is $20 at stores, so the costs of the card eat into the profits. The only Nintendo published game I can think of that is on a key card is Pokopia and that's because 1. It's going to keep getting updates so the cart will be useless 2. Pokemon Co/Game Freak are cheap as fuck. Even slop like Rocket League got a fucking physical cart and ther game gets a 20GB update every fucking month.
>>741263596Monster Hunter Tri last time I tried connecting to private servers it was completely ghost town m8
>>741263769I was playing that just yesterday though
>>741261213No, he means the Switch 2 doesn't actually render games at 4k so why have 4k assets? The Switch 2 OUTPUTS 4k but does not natively render 4k games. (Which is fine by me because you have to be a giga retard to want a 4k native handheld on a device as small as thing)
>>741263731Nintendo is absolutely pushing for it. GKC were their idea and you can't just expect third parties to eat higher costs just because Nintendo doesn't want to provide the right carts. It is 100% on Nintendo.
>>741263798Must have been my NAT connection being broken then?
>>741263830Probably type C
>>741262581>>741262483He means it all my Wii purchases worked on my Switch. My windows XP games still work on my Windows 11 PC. I wish my Wii games still worked cus I wanna replay all those WiiWare Hudson Soft games.
>>741263596super mario galaxyif i want to play it on switch i have to buy it again even though i already bought it in 2007
>>741264327I mean, the game is there. You're paying extra for the comfort of playing mobile.
>>741262143>have no internet>cannot play a "physical game"I think the 21st century SUCKS
>>741263816>It's their ideaNo shit, who the fuck do you think manufactured the carts? But again, it was something created so third parties stop putting codes in a box (which Bethesda still did with Fallout 4). With this way at least you can let a friend borrow your Gay Card. They suck but they're better than codes. The only ones using GKC right now are trash publishers like Square, Capcom, Sega, and Namco who haven't released a single good game in 15 years.
>>741263519>4k assets should be an optional downloadexactly, it used to be this way with games like Fallout 4, they have an optional high definition texture pack, same size as the fucking game, but optional
>>741245747Still buying it.
>>741264547exactly, it's Nintendo insisting third party be less shitty
>>741245747Kadokawa needs to sell to Westerners
>>741264547That's a massive mental gymnastics cope. Nintendo could just refuse to allow them to put a code in the box. People don't just sneak shit onto the Switch and onto store shelves, it all goes tough Nintendo. GKC are pure cancer and all on Nintendo no matter how you try to spin it.
Not sure if it's a good idea to release it so close to Duskbloods tbqh.
>>741245747Quickest I've ever gone from excitement to disgust. If it was a regular card it would have gotten me to buy the switch 2.
>>741245747I don't want to double dip BUUUUT...
>>741245747>30 FPS>no trophies/achievements Haha no thanks
>>741266660>no trophiesit's now worth the $80 asking price
