>>55680007Ikr? If it wasn't for the desert, the low res textures and their inconsistent application, the empty world with fuck all in it and the ridiculously low geometry in the distance it's fine.
>>55681260Because it's GF, not the Switch. Funny you should mention PS3 and Xbox 360 because one of the most premiere open world RPGs to come to those systems, Skyrim, sure enough runs at a consistent 30 FPS 720p minimum at all times.
Meanwhile this game struggles to maintain a HD resolution with frequent drops and glitches.
The problem isn't the Switch (though the Switch is definitely on budget hardware), the problem is Game Freak's refusal to take a step back, properly learn how to develop for console and/or HD architechture and properly optimize their games around the console they're making them for.
Case in point, ToTK is an objective technical improvement over BotW while Pokemon games just get worse and worse with every entry.
Their next truly open world game will be truly telling as to whether or not GF should even be allowed to make such a game or should just stick to open zone like Legends or like Monolith Soft do (large open areas broken up by loading screens to ensure everything works as intended and the game isn't overloaded by the assets it has to keep track of).
