I’ve been jumping between Genshin Impact (Fontaine recently released), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Baldur’s Gate 3. I haven’t made much progress in Genshin or BG3 because I’m having so much fun in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol

Is the netherlands price even different? If you aren’t changing the vpn to Argentina or some other country with an undervalued currency, you’ll probably be fine.

I’ve long used SAS.planet 🌐 to import maps from OpenStreetMap, Navionics or GoogleMap and then export them in Garmin format.

You’ll have to scour specialist forums to find the right configurations/settings, but it’s possible.

Anybody who hasn’t seen Steel Battalion should go watch a video of a first play through.

They really assume the player is going to read (have) the manual for that game and have a series dig at you if you don’t.

Someone taking the title of this community literally ;-)

planish,

Not necessarily, Garmin probably wants to sell these. You can pirate while pirating.

Besides the obvious BG3, I picked up Book of Hours yesterday and spent the day playing it. It’s a very cozy puzzle game

Book of Hours

In my case: Instead of Baldur’s Gate 3. I can’t find time for Baldur’s Gate any more since I started Book of Hours. It’s just too good. It’s one of those games where I just don’t want to stop playing. Just one more book. Light LEAKS through the CRACKS. My mind is BRIGHTER than it EVER was. THE HIGHER I RISE THE MORE I SEE.

DayZ comes to mind. I love the game but it kind of just throws you in and says , “Hey there. Survive.”

rubikcuber, do gaming w RDR1 - Where to play best? Switch, PS4...or Steam Deck?
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

RDR is not (officially) available on PC / Steam / Steamdeck. So you’ll need to either emulate switch or 360 via Xenia. IIRC MVG had a video about RDR running under Xenia on the deck about a year ago, and it was mostly 30fps ish.

Realistically though, if you want portable play Switch. If you want to play on a TV PS4. The best way to play this right now, in the absence of PC port, is an Xbox Series X via back compat, which doesn’t really help you!

Milan,

RDR runs great on yuzu

Yuzu…on PC? Or also in Steam Deck?

havocpants,

I’d say they must mean PC - It runs fine for me with Yuzu on a good gaming PC using OpenGLSL. It’s locked to 30fps though unless there’s some setting I don’t know about.

It’s so far unplayable for me on the SteamDeck because of the requirement for OpenGLSL - it works, but it runs at about 10fps. Using Vulkan seems to be closer to 30fps on SteamDeck, so I imagine when this is fixed it will be playable on the SD, but that is not the case right now. I’m using the latest pinEApple build.

@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Thanks for trying! I’ll keep an eye on this.

Reo,

On Ryujinx you can turn off vsync to get it to run at a capped 65, haven’t noticed any issues. Unsure if there’s anything that runs it better than that. Probably works on Yuzu too.

havocpants,

thanks, I’ll give that a try

johnthedoe, do gaming w RDR1 - Where to play best? Switch, PS4...or Steam Deck?

When you say steam deck do you mean switch version emulation?

iturnedintoanewt,
@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Yes…I’d think so. Although someone also mentioned Xenia emulation of 360.

PS4/PS5 review by Digital Foundry

TL;DR:

  • Runs at Native 4K on PS4 Pro/PS5, using FSR2 only as Antialiasing (no upscale), also has an FXAA option.
  • Higher shadow detail that looks somewhat worse because it looks too sharp, but this is a personal preference.
  • UI elements are still 720p.
  • Flawless 30FPS cap, no 60FPS performance option

I won’t be playing it myself until it’s 60FPS on PS5.

Blizzard,

Also: versus.com/…/sony-playstation-4-vs-valve-steam-de… (assuming you’ve got regular PS4, not Pro)

Definitely Switch is the worst option.

Thanks for this detailed description! I might take advantage of the PS4’s slightly better graphics for now…if I can find the PKG.

ramble81,

So basically they just did an “upscale” remaster of the original, rather than using the assets and engine from RDR2? (Which is annoying because pretty much all of New Austin was built out)

Blizzard,
TheHalc,

The development cost for building it out in the new engine would probably be an order of magnitude higher than the simple upscale.

If they thought they’d get an order of magnitude more sales from doing things that way, they’d have done it that way.

I’m with you, though. I’d love a proper remaster that also came as a native PC edition.

to55,

Don’t know why you’re downvoted, this is a good method.

user224,

Some people are just being followed by downvoting bots. This seems to be their case when you check their profile. Not the first time I see it.
