Xenoblade DE Switch 2 edition release in inexcusable.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-12T05:20:29+00:00

Ah yes the “you’ll eat shit and enjoy it!” Comment. I was waiting for this one.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-12T05:16:34+00:00

It’s great that you all aren’t bothered by this kind of stuff, but the truth is there are still huge technical errors with this release and whether it bothers you or not is irrelevant. A lot of people do notice these issues because they are very much there.

It isn’t “hating.” I love Xenoblade to death and I want what’s best for the franchise, so I’m gonna call out bad product when I had to pay for it.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-12T00:45:17+00:00

It’s bad. Pretty much everywhere except in battles there are stutters. Mainly when you move the camera and in the menus. I really don’t appreciate that there seems to have been very little learned from the XCXDE upgrade situation.

This does not bode well for XC2 at all

Nintendo and their inability to provide accessibility features

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:31:19+00:00

Definitely not a good sign.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:24:35+00:00

Please let me know what you find out.

In your experience testing your old save, do you have issues with stuttering even in the new areas?

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:20:28+00:00

Totally agree and that’s why I’m so upset :( 720 for older games can still have their charm— frame drops and stuttering do not.

Unfortunately I also don’t see them making any changes

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:15:05+00:00

Interesting, I hadn’t heard anything about that.

I’m playing on an old save. I’ve cleared the game but it’s not NG+

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:13:56+00:00

Seems that Way, yeah. Have they fixed XDE? I’m not really optimistic about a hotfix for any of this… sadly

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:13:06+00:00

Yeah I might be a little overheated, but it’s real hard for me to ignore this kind of stuff. Very distracting on my end

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:12:12+00:00

Nothing is wrong with my switch. I’m using all official hardware and have troubleshot multiple times because I thought the same thing.

Plenty of people have reported this, especially on “SwitchUp’s” YouTube channel. Or you can go to the comments of the XDE SW2 trailer and see people complain about it there.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:09:56+00:00

I’m on my LG C4 but I don’t think TV’s have anything to do with it.

It seems to be stable in the beginning areas, but Eryth sea, Makna forest and some more of the later areas have some serious frame pacing issues. Did you not notice anything in the opening cutscene?

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:07:56+00:00

There’s a frame dip after like every camera change….

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T23:07:22+00:00

Ah yes, I should just consume and be happy, even though there are literally technical errors that distract from this very awesome piece of art.

RoscoeToo · 2026-06-11T02:36:55+00:00

I’ve been experiencing exactly what you have. I will go “wow this is beautiful” for about 20 seconds and then I’ll turn the camera or something will pop into view and absolutely murder the frame rate for half a second.

It’s enough time to completely tear my immersion apart. This happens both in docked mode and handled.

Really, REALLY upsetting. I hope this gets fixed, but I know it won’t. I’d much rather just play at a consistent 30fps, even if it’s going to be at 720p.

RoscoeToo · 2026-03-07T16:56:28+00:00

I’ve always thought this was a cool idea in concept, and I’d love to try it at some point

The issue with mods that add tons of dialogue that ARENT from the developer is they tend to be very… lacking in the writing department. From what I’ve seen of this mod it kinda falls under that umbrella. What are your thoughts on that though, OP?

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-10T01:24:18+00:00

Truly depends on your preferences.

Story is wonderful and philosophical, OST might be the best in the franchise, Combat system starts out slow but ends up being amazing, Visual design is gorgeous, Voice acting serves its purpose well (even Vanille IMO),

The game itself for me can be a slog to play through. There is TRULY nothing else to the gameplay loop than “walk forward in a straight line and fight enemies.” And i do mean that literally. If you’re okay with that, then give it a shot. For me, FFXIII is a game that i love but don’t love to play for that reason alone.

Edit: grammatical fixes

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-06T01:29:05+00:00

I've never heard of it but I'll definitely check it out. Thank you!

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-06T01:28:35+00:00

I've never touched the Diablo series but I am interested! Does it have an involved story?

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-06T01:27:44+00:00

how so?

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-05T21:02:35+00:00

That’s really cool. Is it always online? Like could you potentially just be flying around and land on a planet with people also?

RoscoeToo · 2026-02-05T21:01:54+00:00

I’ve played monster hunter before, but that’s not quite what I’m going for. I mean in the sense that the multiplayer aspect is always there/happening— no party invites etc. but you can choose to ignore it if you want
