There is a giant ass cliff somewhere in the game that seems impossible to climb even when you’re maxed out. But there is a way to get all the way to the top and you will find nothing there unless you finish the entire game like 4 or 5 times. And then… It’s still totally not worth it even though they actually put something there.
Almost thought the pic was a shitpost before I remembered Smash exists (forgive me I hate fighting games). Lovely that we live in a timeline where Shirtless sephiroth, Kirby’s Pokemon cousin, and a gorilla named after another animal, and crossover fighting game characters can all fight each other.
Lol I know what a Thwomp is, I was more so noting the fact that the pic is missing a fourth player, so I just was thinking about fighting game crossovers in general.
“Another fighting game character”, take your pick. Just with non-nintendo IPs at this point it could be Ryu, Ken, Terry Bogard or Kazuya Mishima.
And then you can throw Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, fucking Minecraft Steve and a Mii disguised as Sans from Undertale into the mix.
Fair enough on the fighting games lol. Smash is the only one that i’ve really found stuck to me. It having multiple franchises i think helps (and contributes to how surreal the image is)
Yeah I love watching them and really wanna get into them (P4AU, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, etc.), plus their soundtracks are banger. But I fucking suck at fighting games and the only one I ever tolerated was the soloplayer Pokken Tournament campaign. I honestly got bored of both 3DS and Wii U smash as a child very quickly, and to this day I feel bad for the money wasted.
probably has to do with “negative minority being the loudest” on the internet, but as you can see from this thread there’s a LOT whole of concern for a game nobody has tried out yet. I guess I understand where they’re coming from since Konami’s record with the series isn’t great, but I still genuinely fail to see why silent hill f isn’t perceived as a good game from the trailers we’ve seen thus far.
I can’t say I’ve ever used a dualshock 2 clone, but I’ve used a sixaxis and ds3? Ergonomically they seem somewhat similar. In terms of quality, I can’t say. The controller I’ve linked is wired only, however. If that’s a dealbreaker, a company called 8bitdo make some fairly affordable wireless gamepads which are all Linux friendly (directly interpreted by steaminput)
My friends and I can play boomerang fu for hours. there’s a surprising level of depth to this deceptively cute looking game. Can get pretty competitive, but it’s always fun 😊
This is a great question! A few from the top of my head:
The original Assassin’s Creed: I would never have the patience to play something like this on my PC. It is too repetitive and basic for me to enjoy while the rest of my PC is available. On Steam Deck though, I loved playing this in bed as a way to turn my mind off and just enjoy a simple story / game. I had a similar experience with the 2008 Prince Of Persia reboot. I 100% completed both, something I would never do on PC or TV console.
Undertale I also enjoyed way more during my second playthrough on Steam Deck. I think it has something to do with being fully immersed and again, playing from the comfort of my bed.
Also Slay The Spire, I got reasonably into it on a pirated copy on PC, then played it for hundreds of hours on the switch, then finally got a steam deck and it was the first game I bought for it, now sitting at 700h on Steam alone. So I went from piracy to actually owning the game twice :).
Any visual novel like Steins;Gate, Zero Escape series, Danganronpa… I would never be able to complete these games on PC or console.
What I notice, is that longer games mostly only work for me portably, because of the way you can sneak in extra hours on a portable machine. Time spent playing on TV or PC is always quite scheduled, and I often feel like I don’t want to waste it on a single experience for too long.
Galaxy is so great. Good flow, good looking, excellent music with a mix of epic and ambient… And a new character that got more personality from a short story and a couple dialogues than any character from the series ever had.
Too bad they never really knew what to do with her after that. Except Ubisoft with Mario + Rabbids 2, but… Meh.
Yeah, completely. Pauline’s got her time in the limelight right now, between Odyssey and DK Bananza, but Rosalina was just relegated to “bonus Peach clone that can do a swirl attack” in 3D World, and that’s basically it.
My controversial Mario takes is that i don’t really care for Pauline. I don’t hate her, but i also can’t find it in me to get excited about her either. But yeah, Rosalina really has been a extra peach clone for the most part which is a shame
Played a few of the lego games with my kids, like avengers and Harry potter. They have heaps of save points and were easy enough for my 5yr old to get through but still fun for me as well.
God, I’m so damn excited for this to get an Emulator to play it on. I’m wondering it being so similar to the Switch 1 will speed up the process because of the similarity or not
Part of it might be applying the many patches of definitions and stuff, but it’s probably mostly just loading a shitload of png files in memory.
Even worse, even after years of updates, the several literal minutes of loading on a HDD happen on a completely unresponsive, static screen (Windows even prompts you with that “kill the app or wait for it to respond” pop-up if you alt-tab out of it).
There’s a mod to add a progress bar to that initial mod loading. Yeaaah.
It’s really just another Unity asset flip, really nothing special, but I think the TCG theme is more compelling to me, compared to other games like this. Also, you can open card packs, which is really neat. Eventually, you can have employees doing basically everything for you, so you’ll just be in charge of ordering new stock and opening packs to sell individual cards.
Because it’s just another Unity game, there’s just a ton of mods already, even though the game is still in Early Access. Either QoL mods, Cheat mods, replace cards with whatever real TCG you want, whatever.
I played for around 50h shortly after launch and pretty much did everything the game had at that time, although I used mods near the end, which did speed up things somewhat. There have been some updates since then, but nothing really that made me go back to the game yet.
The game has a demo/free prologue, so you can check it out before you buy, but I don’t know how much stuff you can do in it.
I just found out about Tabletop Game Shop Simulator and I found it to be a nice alternative to TCG Card Shop Simulator. It only has a demo currently, but it’s been pretty fun to dip my toes into the shop simulator genre of games.
Another SOLID recommendation is Valheim, it has horror elements but isn’t really a horror game, still it is one of the better co-op open world games period.
Abiotic Factor fucking RULES. I’ve put quite a few hours into co-op and I don’t usually seek out co-op in games (I also have a single player world with a fairly extensive farm base). The early game has such an amazing aesthetic and vibe that you truly don’t know what you’re getting into, especially if you went in almost completely blind like I did.
Zomboid would be another obvious pick for me, although I still haven’t played co-op or multiplayer at all. I’m scared about servers not having certain mods I keep in my list I guess.
