Doom on Switch has ruined gaming for me

This is slowly becoming me. If it can look and run decently on the Switch, then I may choose to buy it there rather than on my PC or PS4.
Good for you I guess. I rather pay attention to traffic while driving that playing a game, but you do you pal.
Yeah, that seems safe...
Aslo I disagree whenever I'm playing in handheld mode I just want to play on a bigger screen.
Don't play games while you're driving. I can't imagine the kind of traffic scenario where it would be ok to take out a gaming machine and play for more than a minute at a time.
If that was the case there'd be no reason to specify playing in traffic. You would just play.

"thinking why isn't it on Switch so I can play while I'm stuck in traffic"
Playing in traffic.... that'll be an interesting article.
But come on, surely this is overreacting?

Sure, I'll take my ps4 to the bus with me.
Edit: Guys you can be stuck at traffic and not be the one driving, this actually happens all the time, jesus.
The many compromises that had to be made to make Doom run relatively decently in handheld mode kinda answered this question for me.
Where do you live?
I'm about to go somewhere and I need to know if I should be worried about you

Similarly, this is me with the PS4/Vita combo. While not as free roaming as the Switch, all my "hot spots" I have set up when I am away from home, and when I am at home, I use remote play 90% of the time I play ps4. It's a real game changer, I can only imagine how awesome it is on a switch, being able to be literally anywhere.
This is a step above standard portable gaming. It's playing a current-gen AAA title on a portable/home console hybrid.
The Switch is an amazing piece of hardware. It's too early to call, but it's looking to be my favorite console.
Let's not get crazy.
It's cool that the switch is doing really interesting things, and it's amazing that Doom is the way it is on that platform, but let's also not forget that it's the worst version of that game. Playing things on the go is neat, especially when it galvanizes the idea of social playing via wireless lan, but I still want my doom running at 120fps at 4k before any sort of mobile version.
The indie selection for the switch, however, has been a godsend. Playing stuff like Golf Story or Battlechef Brigade in bed has been a pretty amazing experience, but those are also games where fidelity isn't really an issue.

User warned: please do not mock people with autism
Imagine how cringy it is for people outside the spectrum.
30-40 minutes a day should be enough for the bliss that is DOOM
Portable gaming before Switch was very different. You never got full console HD experiences in a portable before.
It's actually the best of home and portable all in one and the most convenient gaming device ever created.
I feel ya, OP. I don't even want to be bothered turning my PS4. Getting Doom and Rocket League a week apart has been a game changer for me. I have every intention of buying Skyrim in the coming weeks.
If EA gives us Madden and NHL next year I'll be over the moon.

Internet convos are always so weird with hyperbole. Do you really have to exaggerate that much to get your point across? Trust me, if people didn't enough about your statement to post about it taking the convo to 11 isn't going to get anymore people to give a shit about your opinion. The only result is people taking you less seriously and/or use similar hyperbole to make counter claims, leaving the conversation just a slope of constantly escalating adjectives.
I'm sorry, what now?
Please don't tell me you're playing and driving.
