PonyOfWar,

Man, the state of the games industry is just sad. Also makes me question my career working in an adjacent field, despite my job being safe for now…

PonyOfWar,

IMO the story is not really worse than the games’ writing. Fallout as a universe never really made sense. So for me, it being fun and campy is enough and just what I’d expect of a Fallout show.

PonyOfWar,

Kirby’s adventure feels really modern for an NES game, still holds up great to this day. The difficulty is also closer to what people are used to nowadays, compared to the punishing difficulty of many NES games. One of the few NES games I played through completely.

PonyOfWar,

The Skull and Bones beta motivated me to start a second playthrough of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, 10 years after my first one. Having a blast, it’s honestly even better than I remembered and runs great on the Steam Deck.

PonyOfWar,

I’d love to play it with my niece and nephew if the game had a split screen mode. Not going to happen if they need a Switch and a copy of the game each.

PonyOfWar,

Not disagreeing otherwise, but it’s 4 paid expansions, not just one.

PonyOfWar,

This needs way more context and evidence. Right now. this is not a “revelation” but a statement by an unknown person, without providing any actual comparisons of the 3d models so people could judge for themselves. If there is something to it, it should be easy enough to prove.

PonyOfWar,

Thank you. Have to say, I’m not convinced after watching these. Aside from similar body types, there are differences everywhere. Like in the last video, the Palworld model has a concave back, thinner differently shaped legs and a smaller head. It’s a cartoony quadruped of similar but not identical proportions and that’s about it. To prove ripped models, you’d have to show significant sections where the vertices are identical.

PonyOfWar,

Yeah. It would probably have been more work to take a Pokemon model and modify it to this extent compared to making it from scratch. Some of the designs in Palworld definitely took heavy Pokemon inspirations to the point of almost being a rip-off, but so far the evidence for actual asset theft is not convincing at all.

PonyOfWar,

But even those are not that similar. Tail length, head size, leg length, distance between front legs, ears etc. I have my doubts in this mysterious anonymous “expert”. I may not be a senior character designer, but I also work in 3d content production. I don’t agree with their claims.

PonyOfWar,

I usually emulate on my Steam Deck. I still have a Nintendo Online subscription going as it’s required for multiplayer (hate that that’s a thing), but I rarely use the emulators. I wouldn’t pay for the Online+ subscription, it doesn’t seem good value to me.

PonyOfWar,

Free games are free games, IMO it would be silly to reject them just because Epic bad. I can install them on my Steam Deck through Heroic without even having to use the official launcher.

PonyOfWar,

What was it about EGS that made you do that?

PonyOfWar,

What made BG3 “antiquated” to you? Just the nature of it being a cRPG? I thought it had some really good modern game design.

PonyOfWar,

This is actually hilarious. Never trusted them for a minute, but didn’t expect the rugpull to happen after just a few days. Wonder if Steam will refund everyone.

PonyOfWar,

Not saying it is, but they have done so before for games with particularly bad launches.

PonyOfWar,

Cool, love the Redwall-esque setting. I hope they get their marketing right this time and don’t overpromise.

PonyOfWar,

People remember, it’s more that some people hope that Rockstar will stop their bullshit eventually. PC gaming is in a very different place than it was when GTA V released.

PonyOfWar,

On the other hand I don’t see why being there in person has to be required for anyone. He can say exactly the same things remotely.

PonyOfWar,

At least about 2 minutes of it were Half-Life 3.

PonyOfWar,

Spoilers: >!Most of the game is a prequel to HL2, but in the final few minutes, you get sent into the future, right to the time and place where Episode 2 ended. So it does advance the Half-Life plot forward, but only by a few minutes.!<

PonyOfWar,

Some desperate scalpers on ebay are already trying to sell the 512GB version for 1000€. Despite the fact that you can still order one for half the price and receive it within 6-10 days.

Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

PonyOfWar,

I’ve had Slay the Spire in my Library for a while, but only got hooked on it when I tried it on Steam Deck.

When I got my Steam Deck at launch, the first game I was hooked on was Elden Ring, which came out around the same time. I first started it on my PC, but got frustrated by the huge lag spikes. Thankfully, those aren’t a thing on Steam Deck!

PonyOfWar,

Because they’ve done it many times in the past? Wii, WiiU, Gameboy series, DS series all had backwards compatibility.

PonyOfWar,

4% royalty is fine, but they might as well remove the weird install-tracking bullshit at this point.

PonyOfWar,

Really sucks to be a Unity developer right now. I’ve been working with mostly Unity for around 10 years now, and while I’m not directly affected by the recent changes, it really feels like the engine has been dying a slow death for a few years now. Hopefully Ricitello will leave eventually and they can turn this around, otherwise many of my skills will be useless in a few years…

PonyOfWar,

To an extent I can apply my knowledge to other engines, sure. I’m working on my third Unreal project currently, and while it’s not like starting from scratch, I’m definitely way slower working with it. It also doesn’t replace Unity completely. It’s great for high-spec 3D stuff, but almost useless for mobile 3D/AR apps, which is a lot of what I do (not making games but mainly industrial interactive 3d applications).

PonyOfWar, (edited )

Absolutely makes sense for most planets to be rather barren. What I found a bit disappointing so far - keeping in mind I started yesterday and I’m only a few hours in - is how mostly when you land on a planet there is a key point of interest (an outpost, a mining facility, a city etc) at a landing site and then immediately a whole lot of randomly generated nothing around it. No roads or paths, NPCs, houses etc. I haven’t really been to a place where I got that Skyrim feeling of going out into the wilderness and finding interesting things. I hope that later on there are at least a few areas with more substantial exploration. Still enjoying the game though.

PonyOfWar,

When it comes to the barren planets, it just adds a bit of immersion IMO. Nobody is forcing you to visit those rocks, and you probably won’t ever land on most of them, but it’s cool that you can. So to me, it’s not something that has a negative effect on my enjoyment of the game.

Makes sense to wait for a sale though. Mods and updates will no doubt vastly improve the game. Personally, I just play it on gamepass.

PonyOfWar,

It’s similar, though the the actual points of interest are way more fleshed out than in NMS and sometimes have unique quests etc.

PonyOfWar,

I imagine they care about the players who didn’t, who, let’s be real here, make up the majority of players on emulators.

PonyOfWar,

It costs $273 (without VAT) in Germany

The European price is VAT-included.

Not that that makes it a good price by any means.

PonyOfWar,

Nope, not sure where you got that from but it’s incorrect. It’s 220€ VAT-included.

PonyOfWar,

Looks great, but I’m skeptical if it’ll ever see an actual release. Remastering the entire game with the kind of asset quality we see for this single room would require an enormous amount of time and effort, especially with people working for free.

PonyOfWar,

I guess this means that all the speculations about Mario’s voice in Wonder not being Martinet were probably true.

PonyOfWar, (edited )

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros, because the tutorials never stop. Even 20 hours into the game, it will explain which button to press in exhausting detail every single time. Gave up the game due to this.

On the opposite side, ΔV: Rings of Saturn. The tutorial does a really bad job of explaining the (very unusual) controls of the game. Worse, you can accidentally leave the area during the tutorial, which cancels the tutorial altogether so you have to restart the game. That happened to me twice. Third time was the charm though, and I did enjoy the game afterwards.

PonyOfWar,

It will be interesting to see how these kind of things develop over the next few years. Of course, it’s very enticing for developers to use AI voices, as they can probably save massive amounts of money through it. Will the voice actors have any options to stop this?

What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...

PonyOfWar,

I’ve played the Divinity games, which are very good CRPGs, but in my opinion, Baldur’s Gate 3 is in another league compared to those. The amount of choices and possibilities the game offers and its sheer vastness are amazing. Add to that the many fully voiced and well directed cutscenes and you have an awesome game that manages to appeal not only to hardcore CRPG fans.

PonyOfWar,

BG3 like everyone else. I’m at 40 hours now, in act 2. Going to play a bit less this week though, as the game hasn’t been great for my sleep cycle.

PonyOfWar,

Yup. No way to give it a 5/10. With so many people (IMO rightfully) disappointed with what they turned Overwatch into, of course they won’t recommend it. Though no doubt some people now only want to pile on the negative reviews for fun.

PonyOfWar,

Guess that means that custom servers will be monetized in future games and using unofficial free services will get you banned. Maybe I’m too cynical, but it’s Rockstar after all.

PonyOfWar, (edited )

Steam Deck is very underrepresented in the hardware surveys, as the questionnaire can only show up in Desktop mode.

PonyOfWar,

I stand corrected then. Never received it on my Deck so far.

PonyOfWar,

Very unlikely. Nintendo is going for the mass market and the bulk, power draw and cost of handheld PCs makes them unsuited for that. Nintendo has never been very successful going after the high-end market. They’ll no doubt use something like an upgraded Tegra again.

PonyOfWar,

There is no indication of such a chip existing or even being possible currently. The Tegra revision rumored to be in the Switch 2 is a good deal less powerful than a Steam Deck.

PonyOfWar,

Playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PC. Bought it on a whim and it’s quite a good game with gorgeous graphics. Lacking polish in some areas though, for example there are many oddly placed invisible walls as well as points where the character can get stuck. Anyway, trying to finish the game before Baldur’s Gate 3 comes out.

PonyOfWar,

Played this ages ago, when it was a small but well made VR-exclusive prototype with one train and a very small track through a basic landscape. Cool to see how it developed since then, definitely giving this another go at some point.

PonyOfWar,

25 players is not a lot for what they call an MMO. I’m a bit skeptical of the game, but I signed up for the beta and will give it a go. Most games going for an Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley vibe just fail to capture what makes those games special.
