I’d be curious to see if you can install the patch that reintroduces the E3 graphics and how that’s handled on the Deck. Not sure on the how-to with SteamOS.
I mean, plenty indies dish out excellent gameplay. So, I rather feel like it conflicts with good graphics.
In particular, and this is an old-man-yells-at-cloud take, I do not feel like 3D graphics do us many favors for gameplay.
3D usually just means less overview what’s happening around you and more directions in which you can miss jumps/targets.
Game worlds suddenly need to look realistic, with sprawling (empty) mountains, cities and whatnot, rather than just screen-after-screen of compressed gameplay levels.
And of course, it’s also much more challenging for gamedevs to prototype in 3D, when prototyping is essential for good gameplay.
Yup, Phasmophobia for instance is good. A bigger company could make more elaborate ghost stories, but would more likely go for micro transactions in cosmetics/items.
Yeah, I’m kinda pissed about this stuff. I watched Noodle’s video about the motorstorm series and come to find out I have to spend a bunch to get the original hardware or just not play it because I can’t find any ROMs online anywhere.
What? Search nointro on archive.org for collections of cartridge games. Search redump there for disc based.
Anything not on archive (usually newer releases, or disc based games from PS2 or later), try some of the resources from the wiki/megathread on db0.lemmy.com’s piracy community.
Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.
I hear good things about what they did for AoE2 on controller, and the genre was long overdue for someone to solve that problem. I’ve got some hand and wrist issues these days after working at a computer for so many years, and I’ll always prefer a controller when possible.
MMOs surprisingly have a strong controller play base mainly thanks to FFXIV. Considering it’s WoW’s strongest competitor, a controller layout is a solid idea
I mean, besides FFXIV’s famous layout, I think it’s not so unreasonable to attach a keyboard to a console for things like chat or the game interface. A few Xbox games even do just that.
Of course, no game can require a keyboard plugged in to play. But given the age of Guitar Hero attachments, a few extras make sense.
This is gonna sound weird but when I game I don’t want to think about myself the in the corporeal sense.
Friends calling me by my name doesn’t bother me but I never tell online people my name and it feels weird if they find out and start using it.
Some friends do use my tag when they could use my name and it doesn’t bother me since we’re gaming, I guess it would be weird in a social context outside of the game
I play with a guy online games for over 10 years. I never met him, he lives on the other side of the planet. He knows my real name, my online name changes constantly. He still always calls me by the name i had when he met me. It’s pretty funny.
Definitely one of those games with incredible background designs that are worth just stopping and looking at sometimes. It’s one of the few games I’ve gotten 100% achievements on and a large part of that is I can treasure hunt a long time when the scenery gives me something stunning to look at.
Red Dead 2 is another game like that in my experience. I started walking everywhere and avoided the temptation of the fast travel upgrade you can get from the camp just to appreciate the sights more. I’ve also started doing that approach with (Modded) Skyrim (albeit forced because I’m on survival mode)
Hey, thanks for deciding to do this series. Not all the scenes you’ve posted have been as striking as this one, but I’m enjoying the visual tour of game worlds in my feed.
Yesterday’s was probably the worst screenshot I’ve posted imo. It looked way different on my Display because of the options I have set and I was wiped from being out of the house all day. So I didn’t really stop and think “hey. This image kinda sucks” when putting moving it over to my phone
