I’m curious what your Steam replay looks like

I can’t seem to find it right now but I remember Red Dead 2, Halo MCC (with the most hours), and The last of Us Part I were all pretty major ones

No, you’re not missing any trick. Aiming with controllers has always been less precise. Just get used to it.

You are gonna love steam machine when it’s gonna be released

Elarionus,

Nope. I have a Steam Deck already, and fighting Linux compatibility is also a pain. “Steam Deck Verified” means next to nothing.

What do you mean fighting Linux compatibility? I’m genuinely wondering.

I game exclusively on Linux and have had zero compatibility issues with games (I can’t play battlefield 6 or Riot games, but that’s it). Is it that you exclusively want to play battlefield?

All other games run smoothly with periodic updates to proton-ge, which can then be selected from the steam compatibility options. It’s like 2-3 clicks and it’s all via gui.

I also have a rather large game library… It’s not like I’m playing 1 game…

Edit: I understand that change is hard, and I’ll take the down votes, but I haven’t gotten an answer. If it’s that you only play games with kernel level security that requires windows, totally valid - rock on brother. If it’s that you only play games that are exclusive to PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo - you do you, my friend. I’m just trying to understand the broad generalization that compatibility on Linux is the primary issue.

If you enjoyed this game, you’ll really like shadow of war. It expands on a lot of the systems introduced in mordor and I really enjoy the nemesis system in that game, especially at higher difficulties.

That’s the general vibe I’ve gotten seeing people talk about War vs Mordor. Mordor laid the foundation but War was the one that refined it

That skill that lets you warp onto a beast and instantly tame it was so fucking amazing.

I just got that today, I’m so fucking glad I actually unlocked that before beating the game. It made a lot of the stuff way easier

As someone who basically only plays on controllers I find the default control layouts in most games rather bad tbh, so I always rebind my keys to something I find more smooth (l2 as jump, r2 as crouch/dash/slide or whatever other movement, l1 as aim r1 as shoot are the big ones I rebind) and also gyro aim, that’s a big one that helps for me :3 I know gyro support isn’t optimal on consoles tho

I had a GBA and DS growing up but a used PSP was my very first purchase with my first day cheque. The idea of playing PS1 games on the go still seemed so revolutionary to me. What a fun little device to tinker with.

Yup, I was mostly a Nintendo kid growing up and loved my GBCs, GBAs, and DSs, but the PSP was the perfect handheld. Truly a magnificent piece of hardware. Its value proposition hasn’t been beat until the Steam Deck. It hit at that perfect moment when technology and the Internet intersected into the mainstream and were affordable.

A fantastic gaming machine, but also functional for general computing, not to mention that it was a great media player. I remember browsing the Internet frequently, watching movies, using it as an mp3 player, emulating my favorite classic Nintendo games. The homebrew scene was insanely vibrant. I certainly don’t miss the Memory Stick format though. I’m glad that died.

S tier hardware.

flamiera, do games w First Impressions: Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era is an excellent franchise revival, with an unfortunate art style that belies its quality.

That art style makes it look like a very uninspired, cookie-cutout of a generic RPG you'd find on mobile.

redhorsejacket,

I agree. That’s why I felt compelled to write this post. The gameplay is far better than its wrapper makes it appear.

Love the PSP! Grew up with it and loved the more mature titles available compared to Nintendo’s handheld game library. A couple years ago I purchased a faulty PSP for dirt cheap and replaced the display, shell, and UMD drive. Unfortunately the clear analog stick I purchased is quite rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.

This looks amazing!

But yes, the aftermarket replacement shells are often quite good (or, equally often not good at all - they’re a gamble whether they’ll be a nice one or not!) But the sticks are known to be bad. People tend to stick with original sticks, from what I recall.

Though your effort looks amazing, I love the transparent shell!

Fix it up completely!!! Consider this your reminder to do so

TheOakTree,

The shell I got was mediocre. It all comes together, but there are definitely some weird gaps and bad tolerances. I had to trim down some plastic to get everything to line up half-decently.

I’m glad you like the transparent shell as well, as I was a bit on the fence about it at first.

pressedhams, do gaming w Psychologically, it's different.

Reminds me of the effing child grave in Hallowknight. I could do it 1000 times unless I was carrying the stupid flower :(. I did eventually but meh.

Path of !!FUN!!

CyanideShotInjection,

The trick was to start at the grave, kill everything on your path, without saving on a bench (as it respawns enemies), and then do the exact reverse route. It is the easier way to do it as you only have to care about the platforming and not needing to dodge foes on top of that.

pressedhams,

It wasn’t the run. It was that stupid jump through the spikey bits 😕

Been playing since HOMM3 hotseat in the late 90s.

Stopped playing when they left HOMM6 a buggy ruin. Inferno’s core racial ability didn’t even work at the beginning. And it took a while for them to patch that fix, IIRC. I still get irked seeing the list of bugs left they’ll never fix.

Ubisoft hasn’t gotten a single dime from me since, and likely won’t ever again.

Me personally the franchise peaked at HOMM5 Tribes of the East. Played a lot of that earlier this year again. Still need to give the 5.5 mod a try.

Xed, do games w Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from?

I like seeing the developers talk about the games they work on. They are on BlueSky social

I mainly like Toby fox’s account on there
