    The Switch is great for games made for the Switch. It’s pretty terrible for games made for more powerful platforms. It takes forever for stuff to load, and the GFX are poor.

      OK, how is this relevant here? Red dead redemption was developed for Xbox 360 and PS3, which are significantly less powerful than the Switch. And RDR runs at a much higher resolution on the switch

        I didn’t realize that RDR was created for less powerful systems and runs well on Switch. I guess I’m thinking of RDR2. Every cross platform game I’ve bought for my Switch so far has been a pretty big bummer.

          Not even cross platform games, I was pretty peeved about some of the performance for BOTW (zelda). I mean, I’ve played plenty of laggy games before (and still do) but having paid a hefty price for a brand new system and their leading game to still have noticeable lag spikes just irks me.
