I thought there was a game called Raven Toucher that I somehow missed.
The TV can be in use, or maybe I don't wanna have the TV on in order not to bother other people in the house, or I can play in my bed, or move from the couch to my desk chair. It's nice, and it feels more "intimate".
So a bit of fog, low res textures, reduced foliage and a worse draw distance. Meh. Even if it runs at 20fps, I still get to play Witcher 3 on my switch, which means I get to play it while commuting, while watching tv(or when someone else is watching tv), in bed, on the couch, on a plane, whatever. Which is the whole point and exactly why this is awesome. I'm there day one.
Skyrim was also a much worse version of the game that I already had on my pc, without mods, without pretty graphics, same game I played years ago and already dumped hundreds of hours into, etc. Yet I still added another 150+ hours into it because it's super convenient and still fun. This will be exactly the same; maybe I'll actually get around to playing the DLC or finishing the game now(stopped on pc when I started sailing around the islands and got bored).
Also, Gwent. Likely to spend more time playing it than the game proper anyway.

Obviously "fine" will mean different things to different people. Personally I have never doubted you could put TW3 on a Switch; it's a computer after all. It's just a matter of how much of the experience you sacrifice.
Heck, you could even put Skyrim on a PS3.
I'll save my tears for something that matters, which definitely is not TW3 on Switch.
Exactly. I'm actually blown away at how close the port is considering the hardware. Weird is an understatement. Jeez, Era is on some other shit.
This, it's definitely a more personal experience in my opinion.
Some might say the same for playing long games on a TV. Not sure why some are so surprised others would prefer something different, to put it nicely
I'm not surprised. Just really can't see myself doing it ever. I'm glad that people who like portability are getting this game.
Which is fine, I just don't see why some seem to need to say that for every port on the Switch
I can't wait for Digital Foundry saying that switch port doesn't look that bad compared to ps4 pro version, which is what they said about Warfame, but... It was massive bullshit.
I have downloaded Warfame on Switch and it looks and runs horrible, so can't wait!
On the other hand, if it will run bad and look shit, it will be funny to read and listen to witcher fanboys who might try to defend it at all costs haha

To each their own, I guess. I love having BotW with me when I'm away from home, and that's a huge game. I already own The Witcher 3 on PS4, but if I didn't, I'd definitely consider the Switch version. Would make hour-long train rides fly by.
That's the "compressed to hell YouTube capture" mode. It's a mode that you can use both docked and undocked, for free, courtesy of the YouTube app.
same here. still nervous about framerate/how it will run overall, though. it already struggles to run on consoles and with all of the processing that has to go on during world roaming, it will be interesting to see what happens. CD Projekt needing that extra cash flow lol.
Not as funny as when people eventually go on to say that of course a not so demanding game like The Witcher 3 could run on the Switch
Warframe looks pretty good. Are you thinking of when it was released?
This seems like a "play docked at your own risk" kinda game since the graphical downgrades will be extremely apparent on a 35"-65" screen.
I'm very much in for a replay on-the-go of this game. It's so good.

This. PC @ 4k and 60+ fps or else you're compromising the vision.
God forbid I buy a game on the only console I own.
Why can't people just let others buy and enjoy what they want?
You know what's worse than being excited about a port you'll never play? Whining about a port you'll never play.
I think the graphics look surprisingly acceptable, so this could be a great option for Switch players who might not have any other means of playing it.

Lol. So true. Wonder what game it will be next.
And why can't people play their games wherever the hell they want?
Since it's running at 1/10th of the original resolution it's going to be a lot smaller obviously.
Not having 1080p assets (I assume) obviously means it's smaller, plus some cool compression tech can help further, but the largest available Switch cartridge right now is 16GB. 32GB is available in limited quantities, and extremely expensive.
NO compression could bring this down to 16GB.
One would say dont let ps4 and xbox be your first experience to witch 3.
Now, the real question is, can they really do all these without requiring a mandotary download later ?
Depends. Put the settings down to ps4/xbox base graphics with a GTX 1080/1080ti and you can get a very smooth mostly 60fps experience.
Why, not everyone has a top of the line PC. I played the game on my launch model PS4 and that's far from the best version of the game. If the Switch is the only system a person has, I'd rather they get to enjoy the Switch version rather then miss out on the game entirely.
Never thought era would be a place where people seem to be actively disappointed and angry that The Witcher 3 is being released on switch.
