I've been replaying River City Girls 1 since I keep hearing how badly RCG2 performs on all platforms at the moment, and that a patch is supposedly coming.
I used to own the physical version from LRG of the first game, but sold it when it was just worth too much money to ignore. Anyway, thinking back...that first game did always seem to run kinda funky. I always ran into issues where I would press my buttons with the same timing, but combos would not work the same.
Replaying RCG1 on Switch, im starting to wonder...why hasn't anyone been complaining about the performance of the first game? Cuz geez...looking at it again now, it hitches sooo much. I can see it even when there's no combat, the game will just have terrible frame pacing at seemingly random times. I'm not often sensitive to bad performance, but I can visually see the stutter occur. It's especially frustrating though when trying to attack guys, and properly juggle them but it doesn't detect the input, or is just totally delayed. That's another thing, input latency seems like a huge problem sometimes. Input latency, or just lack of triggering an input at all. Sometimes inputs will go on for too long also if you're moving.
I love the first game, as a game, but these performance issues I'm running into really hinder the experience.
I loved the first game, and hoping the 2nd is good, but I'm glad I could get a cheap copy of both of these in a physical format. Hate going digital, and the Limited Run copies were too insanely expensive. Hate what that company has done to people who prefer collecting physical.

Shelving this again until the 60 fps patch is out.
