So where do I get clean plates after putting them in sink?

press the top-most face button to start wiping them with a sponge, then they should appear on tiles to the right-hand side. You can put several dirty plates in at once provided you have space around the sink for clean plates to pile up after washing them.

Do we have any straight-up docked mode impressions, here? So far it seems like everyone is playing in tabletop / handheld mode. I have the game but can't play because I'm at work. Would love to know how it's shaping up in docked mode because I want my wife and I to play this tonight, and I want the best performance possible.

Just played docked for like an hour and a half and it works fine. Difficulty in this game ramps up pretty quick when they start mixing up the ingredients. We played 3 people trying to designate a roll for each, but it gets super hectic and the rolls go to shit half way through the level .. LOL

 

[Herb Alpert]

Why can't I buy this yet from the Web? I can't check my switch right now.

 

[NintendosBooger]

As much as I want to get it, I'm not buying undercooked shit (pun intended). This is ridiculous. Fix your framerate issues before releasing games. You knew what you were giving us. Make a professional first impression, and not iron out obvious problems weeks down the line after people have bought your product. For big games, I get it. This?

I played through it with my wife on PS4 already and there are some just absolutely brutal levels. It is a ton of fun but it can be extremely hectic and hard. We had some issues with

the lava levels and the damn ice levels.

The final mission of the main game is very satisfying but damn it is tough.

It doesn't feel undercooked to me. The framerate looked poor when I saw the game at a convention in May, but the final product is not only playable but much improved over that.

 

[anotherthought]

Quick question; can you use the d-pad to move the character around?

Thinking about buying some Pokkén controllers for multiplayer.

Having only played it docked, I don't really know what you're talking about. The game plays absolutely fine in docked mode.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Played in docked. If you have a friend to play this with, or relative, or whatever and want another one of those Switch games that's perfect for giving a JoyCon each to somoene, BUY THIS SHIT YO.

My niece and I had a blast yelling at each other. Total impulse purchase, one of the best cooperative experiences I've had. The JoyCons feel small in the hand, but the utilitarian feel of the controllers feel great. It's just so damn fun giving a controller to whomever and picking up the game relatively quickly.

Frame rate doesn't feel an even 30, but no complaints here.

 

[enzo_gt]

This is one of those few games that is a perfect port for Switch. The controls fit like a glove.

Didn't make it that far, I believe we stopped at the hamburger level that you have to mix 4 ingredients. All of our strategy went to shit

 

[Raysoul]

Played the intro tutorial and the 1st level solo just to judge the framerate.

I wouldn't say the game is laggy, but it just runs at a sub-30 framerate. It is bad on the tutorial level because of the heavy effects, but improved on the 1st level.

I say buy it if you are not a framerate sensitive guy and wants a good local coop game.

 

[Vanillalite]

I'm gonna wait for more impressions. Not that I don't doubt the fps issue, but I'd like to hear more sources comment on this.

This is why I posted this earlier. No offense to the poster who said they had fps issues, but you gotta wait for a larger sample vs going off the initial report.

Seems like the game is fine and perfectly playable even if it has some minor dips.

 

[KodaRuss]

So each level they mix it up on you so sometimes your strategies just are not possible but usually my wife and I would just alternate orders.

I took the first and she took the second and so on. That would normally get us by on most levels, however there are tons of levels where that isnt possible so we just had to constantly communicate about what we were doing and what each of us took care of (Chopping this lettuce! Can you grab the frying pan before we start a fire!)

The best part of the game was telling my wife to wash dishes without getting a look.

 

[Raysoul]

Just played with an officemate and the framerate issue didn't cross my mind. We just had fun.

[Realeza]

Just got it. Will be playing with the SO in the evening.

 

[jariw]

The competetive mode is very similar to a frantic version of Pikmin 3 vs battles. Fantastic!

 

[Arturo]

Is it native res on handheld mode?

Quoting myself because my question sunk on the second page

Is it native res on handheld, guys?

 

[Jeels]

Aww, this was going to be my first digital Switch game. Hopefully they patch it soon.

Overcooked dev response from reddit :

Hey there,
Just to provide some clarification on FPS with Overcooked.
On console (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch) the game is set to run at 30fps. PC is a little bit different as you can enable V-Sync which mixes things up a bit.
So in a nutshell we expect Overcooked to run at a solid 30fps on Switch, we're also looking into reports of the game having instances where it isn't hitting this benchmark.
We are watching & listening, fear not and thanks all for your support.

Overcooked dev response from reddit :

Love the quest response from the team, makes me feel like they are going to fix any issues they do find.

 

[nubbe]

It is a Unity game, so Switch must be brute forcing it

 

[CharminUltra]

Downloading now. I've heard good things about the game, so I'm curious to see it for myself.

 

[LordKano]

I'll buy it as soon as there's a patch fixing the issues then. Hope it's not too long.

 

[Raysoul]

Played up to 4th level with replays (undocked) with officemate. The framerate issue isn't that distracting. Game is in a playable state. I still wish they would patch this game though.

 

[jariw]

Quick question; can you use the d-pad to move the character around?

No, unfortunatelly the d-pad doesn't work. Which is strange, since it's pretty much a d-pad kind of game.

 

[NoKisum]

Is there multi console multiplayer? Or is it all on one system?

 

[vesp]

Is this playable 2 player with one set of Joycons?

 

[Discokuningas]

As soon as they patch the framerate I'm buying this.

 

[Coxy100]

Is this playable 2 player with one set of Joycons?

Yes

 

[Just_one]

All i want is more levels for ps4...

Probably the wrong thread for you then mate

With these kind of replies, I guess there are quite a few Switch users refusing to buy BotW.

 

[RdN]

Perfect game for the Switch!

I still think it's a big shame that it doesn't support online multiplayer, but that blow is lessened on the Nintendo platform.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Yeah...like 800k switch owners didnt buy it...dont know if it was because of the framerate though.

 

[Discokuningas]

There isn't much framerate problems anymore. It was annoyin when they released it. Game was great but it definitely was a minus. I'm very sensitive to framerates.

Compared to Overcooked! (having now played a couple of hours), the framerate issues are huge in BotW.

 

[Herb Alpert]

OMG I suck at this game.

Should try in multiplayer it should be fun.

 

[jonno394]

So, just to confirm, the handheld frame rate issues are there but that have been blown out of proportion and it's actually entirely playable?

 

[SpokkX]

Will buy as soon as it is locked 30fps. Framerate issues are worse in multiplayer/party games imo

 

[Raysoul]

So, just to confirm, the handheld frame rate issues are there but that have been blown out of proportion and it's actually entirely playable?

Yes, game is playable. If I can compare this to another game, framerate is similar to pre-patch Bomberman R, or the hub of Splatoon 2.

 

[mrklaw]

[*]You don't have to repeatedly press the chopping button or hold it down. Just press it once.

OMG.

Although I think I won’t tell my family as it seems more hectic to hammer the button like you’re chopping.



Does everyone still control the car at the same time? On PS4 my sons controller seemed to override everyone else’s and he'd delight in driving the opposite direction from the next level marker

 

[bounchfx]

never change

 

[Discokuningas]

Really? I saw a video of the game and there framerate was noticeable under 30 and with BotW it's very rare to see problems at all to me after patch.

Edit: I really would like to get this game and there are pretty positive things many people say about framerate, but I've been burned before after listening gaf. Lego City for example was supposed to have very little issues. Turned out it has constant issues. I'm just more sensitive than average.

 

[ElGoldur]

Wow, basically no cheaper than the UK then. Anyone know how much it is on the Norwegian store?

I believe it is 160 NOK

 

[anotherthought]

Ah, bummer. Thanks for the answering.

 

[OniBaka]

Yeah...like 800k switch owners didnt buy it...dont know if it was because of the framerate though.

I feel I'm not ready for a huge open world yet, will definitely get it eventually.

Anyway I bought this due to recommendations and didn't know about performance issues but I'm sure it won't bother me.

 

[Apenheul]

I just played it for four hours straight with two friends, Joycons are perfectly fine for this game. You only really use two buttons.
