Dark souls remastered on Switch
Whatever you dont - dont do this. I just got it on switch and it runs like a 1995 game and looks like a 1995 game. 10-30 fps ingame - i am not even kidding. What an absolutely horrible experience.

I play dark souls on Switch, and have been playing the series many times over since 2014. Runs fine on Switch. Controlls are annoying but thats just Joycons being crappy. Not the game.

I rebound the buttons on my Switch console itself. I hate how Nintendo buttons are switched around.

I'm getting bad framerates when its plugged into the tv and i am also getting input lag from the controller. Pretty much close to unplayable. I one shot gargoyles and the stray demon in handheld mode but i had like 20 attempts on plugged in with no luck.

As far as I know, the resolution stays the exact same whether you're on the Switch screen, or it is docked on a monitor or TV.
I think you just aren't used to the 30 fps and you're over dramatizing it with comments like 5-10 fps. Even going from 19-29 fps is a massive difference.
I highly doubt you're getting anything less than 30 fps. Maybe an occasional dip depending on that games optimisation, but that's about it.

If you think the switch doesnt experience frequent fps dips then you just have absolutely no idea what you are talking about :P Sorry

There might be a few minor dips here and there, but to the extent you're suggesting just can't be taken seriously. There's a reason everyone else didn't agree either.
Enjoy your life playing "5-10 fps games" looool

But DF does, which i've linked in an earlier post, which you seemed to have completely ignored.

To bring you up to speed: You even get consistent 30FPS in Blighttown. It only dips in particle-heavy scenarios, like the Sif-fight and that's "only" into the low to mid 20's. Suboptimal, but not the default gameplay experience and still far superior to 7th gen consoles. You might be irked by the frame-pacing issues, but as you can see in that video, that still isn't "5-10FPS" and in fact, some of those frame-time spikes are less than 33.3ms.

Ah the fallacy of the argumentum ad populum. Gotta love it lol. Its almost as if someone just outed you in not knowing wtf you are talking about eh? :P

i'm sure you also think locking frames to 60 means you get a solid 60 fps all the time :D

Why do you even act like you actually know what you are talking about when its so obvious you are talking out your ass?

You do realize that every switch isnt going to get the same output right? Stuff like age means natural degredation? Tests like that are done in extremely controlled enviroments?

Unless your Switch is full of dust or thermal-throttling for other reasons, it will produce almost the same numbers. And if that's the case, you should get your Switch checked out, especially if it throttles down to a point, where you'll see 5-10FPS, instead of 25-30FPS. Every Switch has the same SOC with the same clocks. Even the OLED model, which came out last year, is within margin of error, despite a newer, more power-efficient chip.

For some odd reason it has decent reviews. I can only guess its from console ♥♥♥♥ who are used to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ specs.
Dark Souls remastered on Switch is a better performing version of the PS3/360 version of the game, but with the gameplay changes from the remaster. Everything visually is identical to PS3/360 or PC prepare to die edition. It runs at a locked 30 FPS at all times and is perfectly playable, unless if 30 FPS melts your eyes or something I guess.
