Online Game Smite on Nintendo’s portable platform, the Switch, has elicited rather heated responses from die-hard fans. A particular post from a very frustrated player, Tacoberg, has drawn significant attention to the game’s apparent decline in quality.
Summary
- The sentiment toward Smite on Switch is overwhelmingly negative, signaling disillusionment from the player base.
- Common complaints revolve around the game’s egregious performance issues that have progressively worsened over time.
- There’s a shared understanding within the community that playing Smite on Switch is an unfortunate experience.
- Many grievances can be tracked back to perceived neglect from the game’s developers.
Tacoberg’s Exasperation
The freshly minted proverb – ‘The straw that broke the camel’s back’ – has never been more apt when assessing Tacoberg’s evident irritation. Tacoberg recounts an incident where the game refused to load a match and subsequently crashed. When Tacoberg attempted to rejoin, the game left them in the dust, potentially facing an hour-long ban for ‘deserting’. They humorously end their vent with ‘Rant over’.
Community Chimes In
In the unerring solidarity of shared misery, several other players have weighed in. unluckycointoss’s view, ‘to be expected tbh’, draws a chuckle but also sparks a smidgen of despair. Others, like Nikslg and OnyxWarden, bemoan gameplay specifics while expressing discontent.
Shared Frustration
There was plenty of negativity to go around, not all of it was funneled toward Smite alone. A number of users expressed less-than-positive views on the Switch itself. Laugh-out-loud comments like ‘Expecting anything to run well on Switch is just funny‘ from skyrim-salt-pile could not go unnoticed.
In the midst of the commotion and disappointment, it’s apparent that Smite on Switch needs serious reworking to stand a chance of winning back its disenfranchised crowd. Game developers rest on a knife-edge – the ever-present terror of oblivion haunting their steps. Indeed, users like Tacoberg and others may just be the tipping point needed to trigger substantial improvements in the gameplay experience. Or it could simply serve as a poignant cautionary tale to other game studios. Don’t let the Switch be your camel, everyone. And to the gamer folk out there, keep pushing, keep complaining. Change, like a lazy sloth, eventually moves.
