that’s something i hope to do when people see my posts. Introducing people to new games or to try new ones is something i always love doing

I honestly am surprised i’ve made it this far. I fully expected to forget one day or just straight up not have time at all at some point along the way. I’m happy i’ve been able to make it this far.

Wii Sports. It’s a yearly tradition on new years for me

I’m playing on Steam Deck at 1080p. I can’t vouch for PS4 Pro quality but it definitely looks really good for the Steam Deck’s Specs

Online is a lot more “dailies” (as my friend who plays FXIV likes to call them). So like daily quests to get gold and bounties and things like that. They also have PVP things and races, I can’t vouch for those though as I’m not really big on the PVP after getting a Hacker in my first few games. there’s a bit of a story too. It’s not too long but it’s fun to play. Though irc it strong arms you into multiplayer if you don’t have a friend to play with.

I tend to stick to mostly doing bounties, which is one of the careers you can pick up. There’s also Naturalist, Collector, and Moonshiner irc.

All of them need licenses though to get, which costs the game’s in game premium currency (gold). It’s not too hard to get ahold of in game (i get like 0.25 per a bounty at max payout with licenses being around 10-15 Gold irc, you can get gold for other things too like daily quests). I know Premium currencies are a turn off for some people though

If I didn’t stumble upon the astral bathroom before I don’t think it would have clicked for me how to solve the very last one I did. It’s definitely on par with the same difficulty of Zelda 1 where you either need a lot of time or a walkthrough to solve it

I was in exactly the same boat. It took me a while to “get” control. I think once I did playing through it became way easier

I’m excited. I’m a bit worried I’m seeing this as an addition to the Alan Wake Story but with a free game thrown in. After starting the foundation DLC though I feel a bit reassured that’s not the case

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I’ve found that the Crystals in the foundation DLC really helped mix up the combat enough to stab a little more life into it for the DLC. But I do get that. If I didn’t stop like 3 missions away from the end the first time I played I probably would have found it a bit repetitive too

Landscape shots like that are some of my Favorite to do. Control really does a good job with its landscapes

I’ll definitely put it on my list. The story and scale of the Remedy Universe was one of my favorite parts of it. I’d kill to experience something similar

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

That’s how I was at first too. I guess I changed as a person to the point I’d like it more

10/10 seems to be the general consensus. The only complaint I’ve heard is with Jesse as a character, which while I’m not sure I understand, does seem to be the most common.

Being a huge Alan Wake fan it definitely is a pleasure to play through. I’m excited to get too the AWE DLC for it

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I’m disappointed i sat on it this long, especially with Alan Wake being one of my favorite games of all time and knowing the connection this had too it. Initially i dropped it because i struggled with the combat and stepped away thinking it wasn’t for me. I don’t know what it is but stepping back into it, it just clicks for me now and i love it. I finished up the main story today and started on the Foundation DLC today.

I tried the Jukeboxes but just couldn’t really get into them as much as i wanted too. Which is a shame because i love the Quarry and the combat is really satisfying to pull off

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I feel like outside the box gameplay and story is Remedy’s MO. Alan Wake has the Story and Flashlight mechanics, Control has all the Parautilitarian mechanics and the lore with The Oldest house and Director. Even Max Payne as far as i’m aware was unique with the Bullet Time mechanics

Man. I modded BeatSaber on my Quest 2 years ago and it was a blast. I had so many fun songs to play on there

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I run into the same problems. Basically anything besides 2fort there’s a bit of a queue for or just low player count

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

The bots were what initially caused me to stop playing years ago. As much as i’d like to get back into it now though, i let the game dominate my life whenever i play regularly. Not to the point where it was a problem, but i can’t afford to sink that much time into it with my current lifestyle.

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Me and my friend didn’t encounter a single bot which is nice. It was always annoying to have a match ruined by a sniper bot joining

Man. When I was younger I couldn’t get into Star Fox 64 on my 3DS. Maybe I should give it a try again. Is it the kind of thing where the PC Port is the better way to play it or should I play it on original hardware?

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I was a bit worried when I first heard about this that it was just going to try and be Little Big Planet again. Which, while I’d love, I’d prefer if this thing tried to be original too.

But seeing this trailer has me a bit reassured with all the mechanics that, last I checked, Little Big Planet didn’t have. Things like the crawling and the climbing.

I really enjoy looking at bad games so long as I can grab them dirt cheap. It’s a hobby I have. Even then I saw Suicide Squad for $2.50 and I couldn’t warrant getting it for that much. The game does not look interesting enough to spend 2.50 on for me personally

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I went ahead and picked up the entire bundle plus origins. I think after Asylum I’ll put it on a brief hold because I’ve been also wanting to really play and finish Control. But after that I want to go back to Arkham and do City and maybe origins all in one chunk

Happy Holidays! My Steam Deck has an issue where the power button isn’t doing anything. I keep it docked most of the time but Silent Hill 2 will freeze up the system and the system will need reset. I can’t tell if it’s a software issue or hardware issue (I’m leaning towards Hardware). I need to crack it open and figure it out. I’m worried though I’ll need to solder on a new power button though which would be a bit irksome.

It’s my only source of PC gaming right now because I bought it over a gaming desktop years ago due to it being better for my lifestyle at that time (I was/Still am a student who spends a lot of time on campus so portability is nice). Luckily if I can’t fix the power button issue, Alan Wake II inspired me to start planning a full size gaming rig so I can do Fancy Shmancy Raytracing and 4K without FSR

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Thank you! I love seeing people enjoy the texts I attach to it.

For the Steam Deck, I will say as an unsolicited review that in my opinion it was well worth the price. It packs a surprising amount of power for a game console of its size, though I play mostly docked nowadays so people’s mileage from mine will vary.

A lot of modern games are in the playable range for me at native resolution. Playable for me meaning 30 FPS and tolerable levels of FSR grain. Though some games like Silent Hill 2 I make an exception for since it’s really not supposed to be running on Steam Deck and instead will allow it 20-24 FPS (like a cinema)

i get that lmao. They had the base version of 2 for $2.99, then they had a bundle with DLCs for like $80. I ended up buying the base game purely because i didn’t know if we’d like it or not.

I might take you up on some of those offers at some point in the future. Right now i’m mainly waiting on the rest of my group to get it installed. The 80gb storage cost is crazy (I even ended up removing it for now just to install Red Dead Redemption 2 to play with another friend since i was waiting), and somehow both the other guys in our party need to upgrade their internal storage before playing.

If you have any tips though I’ll definitely take any you can offer. I think i’m like one of 10 people that use the Steam Notes function so they certainly won’t be forgotten

Its so addictive despite being incredibly simple. I wish more games had something like the “cycle”. Even just the soft story aspects like with the final event being determined dynamically by your leader and other choices would be amazing

Unfortunately, the issue is more so that Iris doesn’t work with another mod i have

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s 1.20.1. The modpack is all custom made though

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

We’re unfortunately running forge and Oculus conflicts with a client side mod i have

Dying is very common on default settings, and it’s how the game is prefers to default too. My suggestion though would be to play with the sandbox settings and see if you can get it how you want. the game is best enjoyed in how you would want too (Friends are far more fun to play it with though)
