MrScottyTay, do games w The big Portal 2 mod Portal: Revolution is out now on Steam

Saw the trailer on YouTube but it was shit. Instead of telling me what it is it just shows a few corridors? Like it’s it just a walking simulator in portal? If not, then why that trailer.

Sixpix,

Well, you could watch the trailer instead of the announcement video of it being available.

MrScottyTay,

I mean I didn’t seek it out, it was the first thing that ever appeared to me about the mod. Just saying, not a great first impression.

It’s a shame that modders don’t have marketing teams, maybe read the steam page?

MrScottyTay,

I don’t think you need a team to figure out what makes a good first impression for a game. Especially if you are a gamer yourself and see a lot of trailers for other games. I know I could look elsewhere for more info I’m just saying that the video got such a buzz that it started to pop up in feeds without any context. It does nothing to make anyone want to look elsewhere for that info.

totallynotfbi, do gaming w Combined Arms, the big free retro C&C and Red Alert combo 1.0 is out now

This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

Not stupid. I want to know too.

Essence_of_Meh,

I think these are new - there's a comment on the project page asking about "playing the classic Red Alert maps" and one of the devs replied they would require some modifications to work.

Besides, original missions can be played with OpenRA so I don't think they would port them here without at least adding support for the new factions (which in turn would require changes in story?).

That's just my guess based on some research though, I'm not a specialist when it comes to these projects.

Send_me_nude_girls, do games w EA opens up more patents for increasing Accessibility in gaming
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

Maybe they do it because of an increasing risk of getting challenged in court and causing a patent law re-evaluation, which would hurt them for other patents. I don’t think EA does something because of good will.

Who cares valve hasn’t really done anything in years anyway aside from steam deck

MrCaturdayNight,

Me. I care. I like valve just the way it is.

@rab@lemmy.ca avatar

I like the way they used to be, when they made games

MrCaturdayNight,

Do you have a steam deck?

Zetta,

Have you been plugging your ears the past few years? Valve came out with Alyx, which was an amazing and first of it’s kind game. CS2 is basically in public beta at this point, and they are actively working on at least one new IP.

Also they have been updating TF2 again, which means a lot to me because I like TF2.

Valve is making games again

OswaldBuzzbald,

I like what they’re doing with Steam as a platform, the Steam Deck is fantastic, and their contributions and support of Proton is huge.

there was an interesting take about that on the wan show (not ms but steam). the emphasis was on steam’s value, which is unknown but actually very high

Magusbear, do gaming w ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON rated Steam Deck Playable ahead of release

Checks out. The hardware requirements aren’t that much different from Elden Ring and that game runs pretty good on the Steam Deck as well

toxicbubble, do games w Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live

also out on switch!

conciselyverbose, (edited ) do pcgaming w Baldur's Gate 3 is going to get some big updates

The game's great, but they should fix the inventory (is a complete mess, seems one from a game in the '90), the font size of the UI and they should let me see the cards/stats of every member of my party, even the ones which are in my camp, so I can decide what items or enhancements are best suited for them.

This is basically my only nitpick, too, playing with a controller. D:OS2 was better. I don't need the character stuff taking up half the screen of inventory management, especially when it isn't done in a way that really enhances your information on the utility of equipment to your character.

Inventory should be its own section, so you can use the triggers to hop between tabs of different types of gear. I'd also like it if they took inspiration from Elden Ring for what it does display on the characters. It's also not perfect, but letting you cycle which info sheets show in the extra panes provides a good balance between making a lot of information readily accessible without making it a chore to find.

Yaaay to Phasmophobia.

TheiaTheMoonMaker, do gaming w GOG Summer Sale 2023 is live with giveaways and game deals
@TheiaTheMoonMaker@beehaw.org avatar

If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.

It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.

ObtuseDoorFrame, do games w SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S

I wonder if this same concept would apply to desktops. If you could install both SteamOS and keep windows for when you wanted to run something other than a game. This could be huge.

Dual booting has existed for a long time. Microsoft keeps making it more annoying to do. For my next PC, I’m not even keeping a dual boot around as a safety net; I’m just doing Linux.

ObtuseDoorFrame,

Dual booting has existed for a long time but this same boost in performance when using SteamOS might not appear on desktops.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t tracked the performance in Proton for a long time, because I already used that information to make my purchasing decisions, but single digit percentage improvements in performance when running games via Proton has also been the case on desktops for a long time. If there’s any further improvement to be seen from SteamOS’s game mode rather than regular desktop, you should see it in Bazzite as well.

zipzoopaboop,

Funny how much ms bitches that secure boot is REQUIRED for win 11. Then you can just turn it off after installing

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

The performance gains are from all the tweaks people have done to proton to fix the games. Running regular programs through wine will only be slower.

Snickeboa, do games w Monster Train 2 is now set for release on May 21

To you who have played Monster Train and are in the loop about Monster Train 2: should I play monster train 1, or does Monster Train 2 seem to be just a better version of it and I can wait for it?

simple,

Monster Train 2 is pretty similar, I’d recommend playing the first game since it gets really cheap on sale.

Play the first game without the DLC first (it can be toggled in the settings if you bought it). It changes the balance a lot and makes the game more difficult, so it’s more intended for people that are already familiar with the game.
