I bought a switch because it was cheap and something for my nephew. I haven't had a console since the xbox 360, so i had no idea what i missed. I thought i'll buy mario kart, because who doesn't like Mario kart. Game was 60 bucks. That seems steep i thought. When i opened up the game at home i realised super mario kart 8 isn't a new title, it's 10 years old. Start the game. Obe of the most pathetic attempts to sell children dlc's that i have ever seen. Nice, so i bought disco elysium on sale, so i can play disco on the toilet or something. The nintendo has the biggest trouble running a point and click game. What even is that?
The funniest part about this story is that i had some trouble and went to a switch forum and asked if people buy their games used and that that is highway robbery. I never seen people being so defensive about their video game system. I was being really nice despite thinking i bought the biggest piece of shit hardware from a piece of shit company out there. Everyone told me that 60 dollars is a good price for what you get and the dlc maps are fun.
The switch is underpowered for a lot of things but if it's having trouble with Disco Elysium that's probably more of a knock on whichever studio handled the port.
Don't buy that dlc, it's not worth 60€.
Look into hacking your switch. It's fun and teaches you things and you get free games out of it.
