one-armed dwarf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I believe BOTW got patched to get rid of the framerate stuff cause I never noticed it as a problem. It's not like it's something I'm insensitive to either. I notice every drop in DMC, Bayonetta, BloodBorne etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRKN Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 They improved the performance with updates. Kokiri forest was the worst, but in general it ran fine on Switch from release in my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I played at launch, frame rate was horrendous all over the map for me. I loved BotW overall, it didn’t really effect my enjoyment but that game ran like ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I too had BotW at launch, without any visible lagging issues whatsoever. I mean, I still remember playing Valkyria Chronicles at launch with screen tearing in most cutscenes (including the intro) but Zelda ran smooth as butter.

one-armed dwarf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That's a bug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well that happened to me on multiple occasions during my playthrough ?♀️ Looks like severe slowdown/single digit frames to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yeah it's just such an unlikely edge case, the thing in that video. I don't think BOTW is silky smooth but general performance was extremely good for me. I explored all the map, I just didn't kill the desert divine beast and ganon. I think this is also a good argument for not just jumping straight into the zeitgeist and playing the latest games asap. Cause it sounds like I got a better BOTW than some other people here ? Just now, Blakey said: Looks like severe slowdown/single digit frames to me. Yeah but the reason it's happening is probably a bug. It isn't running at all, it's straight up just stopped.

DisturbedSwan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yeah I get you. I don’t mean to come off as overly negative towards BotW - it’s my fave Zelda since OoT - but yeah, that game had some issues that stopped it from achieving GOAT heights for me but it was in contention for GOTY that year. Back on topic. I think Link’s Awakening will be great, I’ve never played the original and have next to no knowledge of it so it should be cool, don’t think I’ve played a top-down SP Zelda since Phantom Hourglass or some shit, I picked up ALBW ages ago on 3DS but never got round to playing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Games are much more complicated now as well though. The amount of data points and weird edge cases that trigger shit in open world games is pretty large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because AAA games back in the day are considered, produced, released or run anything like AAA games from whenever some glitch-free golden era of games exists in your mind only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Unless you are Bethesda, that is what QA is for. Who in theory have upped their game to coincide with the additional "complexity". @one-armed dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
