One million people playing at 1080p and 60fps
I really don't understand these people. I'm currently playing the game and love it, not once has my experience made me even think about the resolution and frame rate. I swear that's all PC gamers care about, how crispy a game looks, even if it's a pile of shit.
I'm late to the switch party, as I'm just messing with one for the first time since Christmas. I've been a PC gamer for decades. Decided to try out breath of the wild, and I'm having a blast with it. That being said, I would be lying if I said there weren't times where the frame rate dropped so low it's distracting. This new one may not have that issue, but I'm betting it's similar. I would absolutely be interested in emulating the game on better hardware. Hardware I already have at home.
You may not understand this side of the argument, and that's fair. I also don't understand yours. If someone wants to improve their experience with the game, it costs me nothing to give them a smile and a thumbs up for enjoying their own time/money however they like.
I think it's probably worse. They added in new mechanics, which probably means higher CPU load. I've heard reports of poor framerates on Switch, but can't confirm because I didn't bother getting it (I didn't like BotW that much, I prefer more classic Zelda games).
If it was available on PC, I'd probably get it because playing a BotW-like game at 60fps at higher res may be worth it. I'm probably not getting it for Switch though, because I've already decided that experience isn't worth the cost.
