I think one of the devs stated 1.0 has improved Linux support as well. I know many of the steam deck users were looking forward to some improvements to it and controller support.

I get that side of it. I honestly rarely play any games these days looking for feeling like a sense of accomplishment. I just play for an escape more than that.

I also enjoy some grindy games. So the meta progression can fit that for me. But I certainly agree it isn’t for everyone. That is what makes gaming so great. Usually something out there for everyone and it would get pretty boring if they were all the same.

This is how I’ve seen it. I only like the Lights usually because I enjoy meta progression. I feel like it makes the difference for me to feel like I’m not just wasting my time. I should also mention I’m pretty terrible at games so the meta progression helps me make progress where other games I’d be stuck too often.

Yeah, it seems like they went on that buying spree to make themselves more attractive to sell.

Nestlé to top it all off.

This is how I’ve used mine almost 100% of the time. I got it because a gaming laptop I had was getting a bit old. I use the Deck like I used that laptop. Moving from room to room as needed and hooked up to a TV in each.

I’m stuck in bed some days, so having something that is easily moved like the Switch has been great.

I agree with you and coming from a different perspective. I’ve tried the games and they just don’t do it for me for whatever reason. I don’t see this flopping at all. I also think recent launches will make sure they have things ready to go. It will sell like crazy and the fans that love the games will love it I’m sure.

I can’t get it to really play at all on Steam #eck, though I’ve heard others do. Mine either doesn’t load or crashes soon after it does.

I haven’t had a chance to see if there have been any further controller improvements since the Deck is my only way to play it currently. I hope they continue to try to refine it. They definitely made improvements from how it started.

Their official statement says they are creating another group (without Unity in the name) that will cover any game engines. Which they specifically mentioned Unity, Unreal, and Godot.

They just feel really impactful in Mad Max. I always wanted more because it just felt so satisfying to me.

I don’t disagree. But these days going gold doesn’t mean the same. They all seem to take the last month or two to still iron things out before it really releases.

That last sentence is so spot on. After reading a topic yesterday, I was trying to think of one time a game company went public, and it ending up a good thing for the gamers in the long run. If anyone knows of one, I’d love to hear it.

All those games may run fine for you, but you’re still missing day one patches for most games. Maybe even some content you wanted and didn’t realize was even there without being online to download patches and hot fixes. Also more and more reports of console discs not having any data on them and just being a code to allow you to download the game.

I’m not saying this is a good thing, but it is the reality of gaming today.

Also the lore you could find that gives glimpses into the past really helped if you cared or took the time to listen/read them.

Horizon’s story stuck with me for a few weeks after completing it. Also one of the few games I played all the way through without playing other games as well. I usually have to play a few different games so I don’t get burned out of any one game.

I agree on the God of War games as well. So well done.

Also, Fuck Ted Faro.

Also doesn’t help that of the three guns they found at his home, one of them was supposedly stolen.

This one is being made by the Spellforce 3 devs. Wonder when we’ll see some gameplay.

The brand, IPs and assets got bought by LCG Entertainment in 2019.

They said some may make it into the eternal realm and some may show up in future seasons as regular additions. They don’t want to state for sure as they want to see how each seasons mechanics are viewed by the players before making such decisions.

They also won’t want all of them in the eternal realm because they feel like it would just make it a complete mess many season down the line.

So basically a wait and see and case by case basis. Which makes sense in my opinion.
