Same. Best Game Series and storytelling Telltale has ever done.

edit - link

Included

  • The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series
    There’s a lot of hours here, it has the 4 Seasons, 400 Days (a dlc), and The Walking Dead: Michonne. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 are great, give this a shot if you haven’t yet! I’m replaying it and it still stands up.
  • The Wolf Among Us
    urban fantasy, nice and grim
  • The Expanse: A Telltale Series
  • Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season
  • Batman - The Telltale Series
  • Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series

Didn’t play the bottom 4, so not sure on the quality. Tales From the Borderlands is currently free with prime, too! Worth a playthrough

I’ve played Tales of Monkey Island. If you’ve played Telltale’s version of Sam and Max, it’s pretty much the same kind of take. Probably suffers quite a bit from the episodic format, and puzzles are a bit straightforward compared to classic monkey island games. Fans of the series mostly consider it a huge letdown.

Can’t say anything about the more serious parts of the Telltale catalogue, I’ve never played those, but for having played this, the 3 Sam & Max seasons and Back to the Future, there was certainly a Telltale formula that started annoying me after a while. They went less and less subtle about crafting their dialogues so they all lead to the same answer, they clearly wrote their stories with an objective to reuse character models and assets, and they still used that in-house engine that looked and controlled terribly, barely improved through the years.

GammaGames,

Their story based games feel higher budget, the controls start out serviceable but get better.
I think Wolf is the best controlling of the games I’ve played, but I might change my mind after Season 4. S4 is definitely the best looking so far

Thanks for the info! Monkey Island might be fun for a rainy day, never played the originals

wizardbeard,

You should definitely check out the original Monkey Island games when you have a chance! 1 and 2 got well done remasters, and 3 onward don’t really need any remastering.

Moobythegoldensock, do games w Fan-made Half-Life 2 Episode 3 demo arrives with Project Borealis: Prologue now on Steam

inspired by the epic cliffhanger from Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Project Borealis represents a fan-made effort to realize a cohesive story conclusion to the episodic series.

I wonder if this takes Half-Life: Alyx into account?

Daughter3546, do games w AYANEO 3 now officially announced with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and HDR OLED

Funnily enough, the Onexfly F1 Pro just went up for sale too. The newer “AI HX” chips are expensive because where top end sku for Onexfly costs $1399.

I suspect that Ayaneo 3 will also have similar pricing.

So many “competitors” coming out, but I still think I’m just gonna wait for the Deck 2.

Crafter72,

They don’t want to miss out the “hype” but also Valve deem the hardware jump is not that much to consider “Deck 2”. If only these manufacturer also consider bringing software optimization rather than keep producing portable handheld with small performance jump.

60fpsrefugee,

To be fair, they don’t have a big digital storefront to make money. If they try to ask money for software update? Oh boy …

So yeah, just like lenovo, asus or other malnifacturers, pumping out devices is their business model for now.

No trackpads.

Out of consideration.

G0ldenSp00n,
@G0ldenSp00n@lemmy.jacaranda.club avatar

Yeah, this is the number one thing that keeps me from even considering the deck competitors.

Mango,

I literally never use mine. It’s a massive pain to set them up just right and I’m never happy with the results or the unintuitive settings options.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

If you ever boot into desktop mode they’re essential (at least in my use case). Using thumb sticks for a mouse is so painful.

Mango,

I use a mouse for a mouse broski. Also touchscreen.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

So you bring an external mouse with your steamdeck? If that works for ya, more power to you.

Sometimes I need to pop quickly into the desktop so for my use case, bringing an external mouse would definitely inconvenience me. That’s when the trackpads come in handy.

Debs, do games w Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update

Has anyone played this with a controller? It seems like the aiming would be awkward.

Seriously i hope it stays like that, i don’t want to bother with viruses in the future

JustARegularNerd,

…security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you’ll see me over on FreeBSD instead

okamiueru,

In what way does “security by obscurity” apply here?

desktop_user,

fewer consumer targeting Linux viruses because smol usr base

okamiueru,

I see. That’s not what “security by obscurity” means in my world, but the expression certainly sounds like it could. It’s not like I own the meaning of words, so it’s interesting to hear what it means to others. Could also have been meant figuratively, I suppose.

JustARegularNerd,

I meant it in the sense of using an obscure operating system to be less likely to be targeted by a threat actor.

Or to be more general, using obscure software for increased security, over actually correctly configuring and using secure software.

Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn’t be the primary defense strategy for your device.

Whelp, I ain’t helping the cause. I might be running Fedora on both my computers, but I can’t be bothered to game.

FreeDoom isn’t a game, it’s a lifestyle

There are dozens of us!

limelight79, do games w Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.

You’re welcome.

yrmp,

Installed Pop!_OS from Windows 11 two weeks ago myself.

BlueMagma,

Camzing, do games w Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

And just to let people know, you are not limited to Linux games only. You can play windows games on Linux. Took me a while to figure this out.

BlueMagma,

Proton for the win. (dows)

downhomechunk,
@downhomechunk@midwest.social avatar

Valve needs to enable Proton by default.

mrcleanup,

I just installed Bazzite, it’s all baked in.

downhomechunk,
@downhomechunk@midwest.social avatar

I have bazzite on my daughter’s machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It’s not a huge deal if you know it’s there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.

@synapse1278@lemmy.world avatar

Didn’t they make the change recently?

ta_leadran_orm,

Just wanted to add to this for those who don’t know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don’t work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support

ms_lane,

Year 👏 of 👏 the 👏 Linux 👏 Desktop!

Buttflapper, do games w Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

Still no anti cheat support

ComeHereOrIHookYou,

Linux always had software that has anti-cheat. First one I can think off that is both a native Linux application and has anti-cheat is Tibia. Aside from that are Valve games. I am sure there are plenty of others too aside from those that opened up through Proton/Wine.

What we don’t have is kernel level anti-cheat and honestly I would rather stay away from games that deploy it than allow such software running in my computer.
