stardust,

I just want a nice story driven single player game from Valve again that isn’t VR.

stardust,

I played the first one but not the second yet. I did enjoyed the experience and the hairstyles stood out for the character designs with the ribbons.

stardust,

So current fallout 4 install is fine and safe?

stardust,

Looks like I’ll have to downgrade then.

stardust,

This shows the power of steam reviews with it being driven by the actual community. People tried to downplay and belittle its effectiveness, but it being front and center on the store page does have more impact than there would be without steam reviews. If there were no steam reviews the PSN requirement would have been pushed through with it being easier to ignore some random internet comments on social media than a store page.

stardust,

Wonderful change. Simple solution is the best.

stardust,

Patient gaming for the win.

stardust, (edited )

Yes I would say so. If game doesn’t show itself able to stay around for years and shuts down early like other live services games then I’d personally have considered it a waste of money due to it becoming unplayable compared to non live service games.

Most successful live services games are free too, so that’s an additional uphill battle for paid live service games. It depends on if someone is willing to spend full retail money on what may be a temporary experience. I’m not one of those.

For paid online only games I don’t rush in. If it seems like it will stick around after steep discounts that’s when I’d be fine with spending money. If it dies before then I’m glad I didn’t waste money on it. No need to be offended that I take the same approach to paid live service games as I do regular games. You can choose to pay for early access if the experience is worth it too you, and if it is worth it you should.

stardust,

There comes a price point where it’ll push more people to wait for discounts, and when that happens it makes it more likely those people will end up waiting even longer as the hype dies down.

There’s stuff like inflation and so on, but it’s also affected people’s buying power which will lead to them starting to cut down luxury goods.

stardust,

Already aware of trying to capture price tiers. Pointing out that perception of cost is still generally the same despite inflation and that out the door lower prices that the competion have sometimes led to more financial success than that strategy.

stardust,

PS3 is my favorite too. I love that era of gaming. I emulated some I missed out on like Asura’s Wrath, Shadows of the Damned, and Lollipop Chainsaw and they really hold up well still with the art style chosen being more cartoon than realiatic for its time. And I’ve hopped in for short sessions in Red Dead Redemption.

stardust,

Best mobile games are Nintendo DS games that are completely touch based, which end up feeling like native experiences such as Kirby Mass Attack.

stardust,

You also don’t get what you pay for when it comes to mobile. Had some games get delisted so it’s not even downloadable anymore and even though I kept it on my phone I can’t run it because it fails the license check. Mobile game isn’t worth spending money on.

stardust,

Caused me hand pains playing handheld with the switch that it became absolutely necessary for me to get grips to make it usable. Terrible ergonomics.

stardust,

First game in the series despite very rough clunky gameplay is my absolute favorite. The story hooked me with the sovereign reveal and the plot is the best of the three entries. And the music felt the best with how atmospheric and less Hollywoody it was, so added to the scifi other world vibe. And I liked how the lighting was darker in places like the Normandy adding to the feeling of being in space.

stardust,

I thought Mako was great too. I played with mouse and keyboard so maybe game pad controls were clunkier in comparison?

stardust,

I decided to wait for Valve standalone. Even if it never comes out I’d rather keep waiting than get a meta headset.

stardust,

Enshitification of DRM moving to subscription based ended up being the most pro consumer move in the long run.

stardust,

Gaming is of upmost importance to the health of a nation. Future wars will be done through esports.

stardust,

I have the Crew so took the first step necessary to begin the process.

stardust,

Skyrim for the mods. Every hardware upgrade I wonder how much more I can push it.

stardust,

Aside from textures being able to run enbs more smoothly.

stardust,

Wabbajack makes me regret not getting the nexusmods lifetime option.

stardust,

Ultrakill and Turbo Overkill have been on my wishlists. Excellent.

stardust,

Too late for a refund?

stardust, (edited )

People never usually never (updating since absolute statements not best to make) vote with their wallet and gaming industry is way too big for people voting with their wallet to even matter, since it’s not a niche hobby. So bad press is the best outcome possible.

stardust,

Yep, and it was probably even way worse before the internet with few outlets to let people know about games, and way less resources to get different opinions on the matter.

stardust,

Someone had to buy those games in the first place to leave those negative reviews on Steam.

stardust,

Issue is even knowing about the games existence. So I would assume back then that it would be games that had marketing budgets and pushed by big publishers that ended up even being in a position to have a demo in a magazine. Now days games made by one dev can become hits out of nowhere to even their surprise.

Death Stranding UI is fucking horriffic. angielski

I’m about 8 hours into Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and I just can’t do this. I love the meditative, lonely feel of the gameplay, and I’m always down for a bonkers and absurd Kojima story. I truly hope future games implement a similar traversal system where you really need to watch your footing. But this game is...

stardust,

I loved the game more than I thought I would because carrying luggage made traversal somehow fun.

But, I was also very entertained by this rant. It’s very specific and detailed and I love it when someone can break down why they dislike some element to a degree.

stardust,

Yep, would get this over the meta headsets that I have stayed away from if it got full PC support. Until then just going to wait to see if Valve releases anything new.

stardust,

Wonder if this is a risk for all games that run EAC.

stardust,

For those that played this game will the ending upset me? I heard it ended on some cliff hanger or something that made the canceled sequel painful.

stardust,

I may give it a go then and try to find the closure through some fanfic if it exists.

stardust,

Steam Deck was reason I moved from GOG to Steam again. Installation process and getting the game running is so much more streamlined than using heroic launcher. And sync saves is spotty and I don’t think there is achievement support last I tried.

Wish they had a proper Linux launcher, but they don’t see it worth it.

stardust,

Playable status with the green mark has been a pretty polished experience for me without issues after putting the settings recommended in the wiki. Those that have issues have been stuff like Mgs4 and infamous get ingame status.

stardust,

Finals is the first pvp I’ve been sucked into in years after having mainly stuck exclusively with PVE. It’s felt much more accessible than other shooters with the variety of different play styles and the higher ttk makes my slow reaction times less detrimental.

stardust,

I didn’t know anything about rwby but decided to check out a clip after the closure announcement.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPjcCkMYYzY

It went from the running animation looks terrible to being blown away by the moves being chained together to form an incredible sequence. Amazing fight choreography that makes me want to check out the series.

stardust,

Is the story good enough to overlook the poor animation outside of the well down fight scenes?

stardust,

Treat corporate accounts with professionalism and get greenlight from other coworkers before posting potentially controversial content doesn’t seem like that hard a concept to follow. As fun as social media can be a corporate one still represents the corporation so can’t go around treating it like its your own.

stardust,

Record engagement for a game named skull and bones.

stardust,

The real cool people rock vanilla skins.

stardust,

I think most interesting thing about this discussion thread is that some of the trends back then are talked about like it was in the past. But, stuff like clothing, using allowance for candy or at worst cigarettes, etc is still something that all kids are still undergoing. It’s just the same stuff older people went through, but with social media and increased digital engagement and public exposure on top of that. So doesn’t seem like much has changed, but that now there is even more stuff than before to also juggle.

stardust,

I think the one huge difference is that things are much more public and permanent than in the past. And sometimes people don’t realize the consequences of what they share until it is far too late. Long time ago stupid things stayed in people’s memories and now it can be digitized for record keeping. And social media makes it seem like somethings follow you home when in the past problems might just be at school, but now the issues and attention can continue online.

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend? angielski

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

stardust,

Dark Picture games with it being coop and story driven so easier for new comers to get into with less reflexes being involved.

stardust, (edited )

To me a PC is something that has less restrictions to be able to do what you want out of the box.

If Steam Deck is a console then PC is a console to me too.

So then my answer to the thread for console is PC.

stardust,

By your definition I don’t see why PC wouldn’t be a console, since being to do some things doesn’t exclude it. And why exclude PC as console just because it can do a lot of things.

stardust, (edited )

Wikipedia that you referred to before calls Steam deck a handheld gaming computer. If Steam Deck is a console why wouldn’t a gaming PC fall into the category of console.

This all seems arbitrary. It is all subjective anyways. You can see steam deck as different from PC. I’ll look at Steam Deck and PC as the same. So to me both are either console or PC.

You can also take it up with valve for their it’s a pc comments. Even the reveal they did with ign calling it a handheld gaming PC.

Even the Steam Deck store page description is

All Steam Decks (both LCD and OLED) are powerful, portable, PC gaming devices made for comfort and a console-like experience.

At best described as “console-like experience”

Steam Deck has a user-friendly interface specifically designed for its gamepad controls. Its software and operating system are tailored for Steam Deck, making it the easiest way to get into PC gaming.

This is also a nice watch of Gabe talking about the openness of the PC ecosystem and how if you want to you can install epic game store or run oculus quest on the Steam Deck. Take what you will from it but I feel like Gabe and the people who worked on the Steam Deck see it more as a PC than console.
