I heard if you turn off one of the effects (can't remember which one off hand) it will clear the game up a lot.

So I have this game, but still haven't played it. However, there was a new patch just released which improves the frame rate and resolution, fixes audio glitches, and *adds motion controls!* Apparently they work really well, too - putting the controls closer to being on-par with a mouse and keyboard. Good to see continued support from Panic Button/Bethesda, and this leads to pretty high expectations for Wolfenstein.

Just wanted to let you guys know that after the patch my framerates improved a bit and the sound issues are no long occuring. I mean the game was fully playable previously, but now I dont have to bother with restarting the game every now and then :)

I still need to get around to picking this up, glad I waited so I can enjoy the full game with motion and the other enhancements.

I'd been meaning to go back and play more of Doom, and this news just solidifies that. The motion controls sound great, because I was having control issues that forced me to lower the difficulty, but that ended up making it too easy. Hopefully this will fix that for me.

Tried out the motion controls, was impressed. They actually feel more like Breath of the Wild motion controls than Splatoon to me. I cranked the motion sensitivity to 100% and still used the the right stick along with nudging the aim with motion.

Yeah, it's combo analog + gyro like Zelda, which is way better than Splatoon.

The addition of motion aiming makes me more likely to grab this game at some point.

I've wanted that kind of time sink loot grinding game on Switch for a while now, so this is great news. I'd like to see something in the Borderlands series as well.

Oh man! Diablo would be awesome! I'm about to drop some cash on Doom finally. Only thing holding me back is school, I'll be too tempted to play. Just gotta hold out a few more weeks and I'll snag it for spring break.

I realllllly didn't want to like the Switch as much as I currently do.

But Diablo 3? Jeez, go ahead and destroy my free time.

Diablo III has co-op, right? If so, I could probably go for that.

Diablo is a great co-op game. I don't think I've played more than a few hours of a Diablo-style (isometric dungeon crawler?) game in single player.

I believe it's part of the Character Auction genre?

Makes me hope that Nintendo releases an update that increases the CPU clock for the Switch. Screw battery life...I think it's worth it for better frame rates.

I generally play DOOM in handheld mode with attached joy-cons, but I don't feel I have found ideal controller sensitivity settings. Is their a general consensus on optimal controller setting percentages for Horizontal Sensitivity, Vertical Sensitivity, Look Smoothing and Motion Sensitivity?  What controller sensitivity levels do some of you have set?

Currently, I have set:
H: 35%
V: 35%
Look: 25%
Motion: 50%

Thanks ShyGuy. I’ve been playing with these settings and they are actually working out nicely.

I finally started digging into DOOM, and I have the sensitivity cranked up to 100. I had hopes it would feel a bit more like the old Wii FPS pointer controls, but it isn't quite to that point. I'm getting used to it though. Left the other settings all the same for now.


Am I correct in understanding that I have to choose between motion aiming and motion melee? If I turn on melee it disables the aiming. I had hoped I could use the right side for aiming and the left for melee similar again to how you could use the nunchuck  for melee or reloading in COD on Wii.


It is also nice to have health matter again in an FPS. And the glory kill feature giving out health really helps bring a fun twist. Makes me more prone to charge enemies and attempt for melee damage as it guarantees I get a steady stream of health (though one or two mistakes can cost you).
