I’m about 85 hrs in and will probably stop playing around 100. I’m playing solo btw, and it’s been fun but it feels like there’s no end game for me. Even as a group I would question if the end game is even worth it. All I have left to do is unlock all the skills (but there’s no challenging and engaging PvE content to justify it), and build a big base for funsies, which is what I’m doing now.

They need challenging repeatable PvE content to keep people like me engaged, or rewarding pvp gameplay. I was hoping the Deep Desert would be more akin to something like Rust, but really all they’ve done it taken the last tier of resource materials, spread them out over a very boring and empty map, and force you to be pvp flagged to get it. And you have to fly everywhere there, 1) because it’s fast and avoids worms, and 2) because the only vehicle combat is shooting rockets from the ornithopter so you’re dead to pvp if anyone else comes after you and you’re not in one.

With regard to vehicle combat, I find it very strange that the very first NPC we meet has a man-portable surface-to-air missile launcher, but there don’t seem to be any anti-vehicular weapons that players can use.

Or at least I think there aren’t; I’m not nearly as far as you are, but I looked ahead in the research tab and didn’t see any.

Lenny,

Hah, so true! I haven’t heard or seen anything about a portable rocket so I think you’re correct. The only heavy weapons (which won’t help against vehicles) are essentially the big machine gun and flamethrower, the same ones the heavy NPC’s have.

dev_null,

There are lasguns, and the same missile launcher the NPC has is also craftable.

Lenny,

Oh nice! Do you know the name of the launcher? All my searches just bring up ornithopter rockets.

dev_null,

It’s called “Regis Missile Launcher” and is in the last tier.

dev_null,

You can craft that same missile launcher, it’s not even a unique weapon, but a normal tech tree unlock. You can also use a lasgun against vehicles (which you need to find a schematic for or gain from a mission).

Alt + Enter to exit big picture mode.

Neat, I never knew that

Big picture mode is great, how easy it is to start it up accidentally isn’t

grue, do gaming w Fuckin nuisance

Desktop mode is good.

Big Picture Mode is good.

Why it’s so easy to accidentally switch between the two makes no fucking sense.

ech, (edited )

Why it’s easy is because the window control buttons are slightly different on steam then on every other window on the PC, putting the big picture mode button right behind where the minimize button usually is. Why Valve did this? No fucking clue.

Big picture mode runs like shit on my computer, it takes like 3 minutes for it to fully open before I can even close it

boringbisexual,

Back on my potato computer days I knew it as “turn steam into a PowerPoint presentation” button

EA? No thanks

SolidShake,

Huh?

Cris16228,

I have no idea why you asked that. Thought it was like split fiction or whatever

SolidShake,

Split fiction is published by EA

Cris16228,

Then fuck Split fiction ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SolidShake,

You don’t like mass effect either? Or dead space?

Cris16228,

Played mass effect. Never played the last one and I’m okay with that

My thing is I wish there was an easy way to get out of BPM. The few times I’ve accidentally switched to it, it takes me at least twice as long to find out where the button to switch back is

Edit: whenever I go to the power button on the sidebar in BPM, it never gives me an option to exit, just to turn off my PC completely.

BOO!!!

Big picture mode is amazing, I have my living room PC boot straight to big picture mode.

saphiron, do gaming w Fuckin nuisance

I love big picture mode for my use case - my living room PC boots it automatically for couch gaming with a controller. That being said, the button to launch it from the steam desktop client is very poorly positioned and I also understand the complaints about the Xbox button causing it to launch.

LostWanderer, do gaming w Fuckin nuisance

I’ve gotten better about not accidentally activating Big Picture mode, but I agree it’s all too easy to do it carelessly!

pleasestopasking, do gaming w What are your favorite metroidvanias?

A lot of good recommendations in here, some I’ve played, some I’m adding to my list!

I’ll share one that I haven’t seen in the thread yet: Crypt Custodian. You play as a ghost cat sentenced to clean garbage in the afterlife. Good mix of exploration and combat. I personally hate when combat keeps me from progressing in a story, so I like that they have Easy/Normal/Hard modes but that you can also further customize assists, like adding up to 3 extra hit points. You can also buy a market to show you the next place to go when you’re feeling stuck. Very good cozy-gamer territory.

The story wasn’t overly complex, but very sweet–the ending made me cry. I loved elements of the story like one of the bosses being the personification of grief.

I played it on XBox Game Pass, but it was worth paying for.

I do this so much by accident in desktop mode on the Steamdeck with a Steam controller. I dunno why big picture mode is apparently bound to pressing the Steam button on the controller (not every time, just sometimes!), but why is it even bound to anything when I’ve just switched intentionally to desktop mode? Why would I switch away from gaming mode just to enable big picture? What’s the use case that they’re catering to here by making it so easy to accidentally be in this situation?

Anyhow, pretty amazing that this minor annoyance is almost the only thing to complain about with my Steamdeck experience. Best gaming console I’ve ever had.
