Probably a steam deck as they are yet to be hit by the mega price hikes.

Once they are, abandon any thoughts of gaming for a while I guess.

This is only going one way until the ai bubble bursts.

I’m glad my friend gifted it to me. I may not have tried it if he hadn’t

Heh, still have my PS2 and I still play on it. And it’s still fun :D

I love this game. The humor is top notch. I also enjoyed watching Christopher Odd play it

Ooh, I haven’t watched a Christopher Odd LP in a while! That’s nice and short too I think I’ll watch that today. Thanks for the suggestion!

Where’s Valve?

Decq,

On a list of non publicly listed companies I would imagine

squaresinger,

Also, I’m not sure if they really fit the bill, since probably most of their revenue comes from providing infrastructure, not games.

Im just happy to see that Arc Raiders have been able to keep 91% of their players since launch, whilst Battlefield 6 has lost 85% of their players since launch. Obviously Arc Raiders is doing something right 😅But you’re right, its not a pve game per se. Its a PvPvE.

I’m actually surprised that the PS5 is right behind Xbox 360 and PS3

xeekei,

It’s actually a good option now when PC gaming is suffering of price crisis after price crisis.

sukhmel,

Not sure this pricing crisis will not have an impact on consoles, too

xeekei,

Consoles can and sometimes are subsidised, while PCs cannot.

BigBananaDealer,

i think series x is a better option because theres an easy way to emulate anything you want on it

Tikiporch,

They should put that on the box.

I really liked this game. The sequel was good too.

you are seriously limited on the selection of games you can play with Apple silicon

Katana314,

Does Proton even work on Macs? It seems pretty clear at this point Linux is a far better gaming OS.

knolord,

From an colleague of mine, who bought an M1 Macbook Pro when they were new; he told me that there was a Wine fork (don’t know the name sadly) for Apple silicon which kinda worked with most (older) Steam games, not as nice as Proton on x86-64 Linux, but good enough for his game tastes. Don’t know if it’s still maintained or not…

spicehoarder,

Nope, that would be FEX. And support for Apple Silicon is currently on the roadmap. So maybe in a couple of years.

Venator,

Might be possible to run proton in a VM?:

github.com/AsahiLinux/muvm

nutsack, (edited )

no, it does not.

and a lot of mac games that came out before apple silicon simply will not run. and ive had mostly poor results trying to run games with crossover and whisky.

your best bet is to stick with the limited selection of games that have native apple silicon releases. and with native releases on my m2 mac mini im still experiencing some pretty bad input lag.

some strategy games like rimworld and stellaris are good options.

Check craig’s list and FB market place for used parts and hardware. Did you save your old PC? You could still play older titles with it as well as some newer indie games that don’t need lots of processing power. If a new PC is a must, purchase the parts as you can afford them then assemble the machine once you have what you need.

Snickeboa, do games w Arc raiders is a horrible game

While I agree that it’s a bit disingenuous to call it’s a PvE game I do think that the feel of it is on the PvE side a lot of the times (but considerably less than half of the time). Especially since the ARC robots are so well done. And I don’t encounter other players in a meaningful way every game.

However, I don’t agree at all that it’s a horrible game. I think that it’s a fantastic game! It’s just released and it has some issues. Apart from a couple of small issues I think it’s a game that does the genre extraction shooting great, runs great, and is the first game in quite a while that feels done and polished and not rushed in any way.

Regarding the shot-on-sight and camping I think it’s a double edged sword. Of course it doesn’t feel good to die, especially by camping. But it would not feel good to extract if there was no risk/stress before doing so.

Maybe wait for the Steam Machine

And how is the Steam Machine safe from the high prices?

The mere presence of griefers eliminates this from PVE:

Until they come up with servers where PvP is prohibited, PvE isn’t worth discussing.

Steam has it tagged as a PvE game. I took a chance on it because of the PvE tag. I thought it would be like WOW where you would be able to opt not to PvP. I should have read the reviews before I bought it. Too late for a refund now.

mohab,

Kinda odd Steam doesn’t have a PvPvE tag, TBH.

Xilence,

You can tag it on the store page. If enough people do that, the tag shows on the page for everybody. If that happens with enough games, valve sometimes officially adopts the tag.

mohab,

I’ve been trying that with fighting games and rollback netcode for years now. I still have hope it’ll get adopted eventually.

EndlessNightmare,

It’s a fairly niche category, though I’ve come across a few games that have it in the descriptions of the game, though not necessarily tagged as such.

orygin,

God what a manchild that guy is

Strongly disagree. The possibility that someone might at any time choose betrayal adds a lot to otherwise PvE lobbies. It is what creates the positive feelings when they freely choose cooperation. If it is just built into the game that they have to cooperate, it is emotionally meaningless. Having the emotional experience of trust and support from strangers is very powerful, and I think it’s a defining element of AR.

I have a couple of questions, one about this device and one for anyone just in general:

  1. For Android games, does this have the actual Google play store? Or do you need to use the Aurora store? And if so, do you use a throwaway account because Google might decide that they aren’t OK with that someday?
  2. This is available with 8 GB or 12 GB of memory. I’ve never played PS2 games on one of these handhelds before – would 8 GB be fine for that?
PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar
  1. Yes, this is Google Play certified, so it has the full Google Play Store to access. But, if you’d prefer some anonymity, feel free to install Aurora!

I don’t typically bother with a throwaway account. MFC makes any risk well and truly mitigated, but I also don’t use Google, so if the worst of the worst did happen, I wouldn’t be sad. You can do either, but I and most reviewers I know don’t bother with a dummy account!

  1. Yes the 8GB will be well and truly fine to run PS2 games! Think of the 12 as essential for PC games (via GameHub Lite), it just gives you the headroom to make that an easier experience. You’ll be able to play and upscale PS2 perfectly fine with the 8GB version.

:)

Thank you! That is good to know.
