Dark Souls Remastered. Just hit the halfway point (Anor Londo), upgraded to Great Scythe +15 and things are starting to look up. Now the toughest opponent I’m encountering is gravity.

Impeccable taste, DS1 Great Scythe has such a fantastic moveset. Is it your first time playing?

That your first time with Dark Souls? I played it for the first time on that remaster a couple of years back. I remember those goddamn Anor Londo archers being maybe the only thing in the game that pissed me off so much I had to quit and come back. Damn near EVERYTHING in that game feels “tough but fair” e

First time playing DS1, yes!

I hope you’re enjoying it, that first blind playthrough is quite magical. First half of DS1 is just a masterclass in level design. No other game has made me so excited to find a shortcut.

First time playing DS1. I’m trying to keep it mostly a blind first playthrough, but I have had to look up help after trying my best and giving up in a few spots - including those archers.

Like how I wandered all the way down to Tomb of Giants extremely early, no lantern drop, no Lordvessel. The Pinwheel fight was so easy that I thought I must be going the right direction.

theangriestbird,

ahaha i think those are the exact two places where i looked things up. did you have a moment where you beat the archers, but then fell off the ledge on accident before you got to the next checkpoint. i did…

Yes, same with every other ledge lol

Thank you for this. I think it’s good practice not to post plain codes but to obfuscate them in some way so that they are not snatched by bots. Not sure if this a big problem on Lemmy though.

sic_semper_tyrannis, do gaming w Let's discuss: Slay the Spire

Cool, I’ll check out this game now. On GoG and a native Linux version

knokelmaat,

Haha how did you end up here after all those months?

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Oh I didn’t even realize it was that old. All the subsequent posts have links to the past discussions. All the posts seem to have interesting games so I was looking through them all for ideas. Thanks for the discussion!

knokelmaat,

Haha I’m glad the links are being used, I included them for exactly that reason!

Slay the Spire is one of my favorite games of all time, so good choice if you decide to take the plunge!

Unfortunately games are only one part of the problem. I just tried getting some Windows software up and running on my Steam Deck and it was a hours of hassle only to end up not even working anyway.

Is Serato DJ worth investing time into? No, probably not really. Would it have been nice for it to have worked? Yes, that’s sort of the point of computers ability, to be used.

I’m glad so many games are working, so I hope more software support comes along!

Vodulas,

It is probably a sticking point, but there are alternative options for a lot of windows software. For your case mixxx.org would be an option.

averyminya,

Thank you! I’ll check this out, I did “come across” it but I couldn’t tell if it was just for Linux DJs or if it was like the fully fledged software to use regardless of gear.

I’ll see if it works with Hercules Starlight! Thank you for the suggestion!

It’s a pitty that popular games like Call of Duty does not provide anticheat support for Linux.

Even worse now that Microsoft bought it.

gamermanh,

Even worse if what I’ve read is true and it’s basically a flag setting for shit like EAC

A few games listed as gold for me ran fine on the Deck, but I was unable to play them because of unreadable font sizes. Some of these could be tweaked and there is always the magnifying glass tool, but I prefer them on the PC, which is still Windows.

I guess it’s time to switch to Linux finally.

The only game I have that doesn’t work properly is Rising Storm 2 Vietnam, due to anticheat not working and it being a multiplayer.

Let me know when Destiny 2 runs and I’ll come on over.

Bungie being a bitch as usual

Steam Deck and Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is not supported for play on the Steam Deck or on any system utilizing Steam Play’s Proton unless Windows is installed and running. Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time. Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban.

I completed the Steam 100% achievements for Dark Souls 2 and 3 so decided it was time to try Dark Souls Remastered. So far I think I’m spoiled by the other two games because DSR feels so tedious without bonfire warp. I’m trying to keep my first playthrough mostly blind, but this game does not really seem designed to make that possible. Luckily spoiled the part about going to Tomb of Giants too early and having to backtrack, but I did wander far into Catacombs right after the Gargoyles fight. It’s becoming more enjoyable as I level up and have switched main weapon to Great Scythe, though. Hoping I warm up to it more like I did with DS2 after the initial difficulty.

I’ve also been playing Fae Tactics. It’s surprisingly unique and satisfying with some combo mechanics and customizability. Definitely worth checking out if you like tactics style games.

Linux must achieve 100% compatibility. Otherwise the doubters will not shut up.

derbis,

Eh they’ll find something else to whine about

t3rmit3,

to WINE about

derbis,

Eyyyyy (╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞

Sas, (edited )

Windows also does not have 100% compatibility. Try playing something like age of wonders 1 on current windows. I could run in out of the box on steam deck but not on my pc that at the time had windows 10. I think Windows no longer has compatibility with win 98 and lower but i might be misremembering.

Mixel,

This is true I wanted to play magicka 1 with friends but he couldn’t launch it on his windows pc while I could launch it without any problems on Linux

The lazy companies developing anti-cheats will likely not allow that. Some games even refuse VMs, it’s incredibly stupid.

erwan,

XBOX must have 100% of games available on Playstation. Otherwise nobody will ever switch.
