I’m in the same boat. And borderlands is way better than destiny 2 in my opinion. I really love the gameplay of 3 and 4. I can see myself easily getting my money’s worth out of it.

I’ve got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It’s 60fps but I’m cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it’s steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

It was ok. It felt like it needed something. The basic ship was clunky feeling to fly and the weapons felt mediocre. The enemies didn’t feel fun to fight either. But it was fun with my friends. But I think that was spending time with them more than the game was. I walked away from the game not disliking it, but not having any particular interest in playing any more of it.

Even just the RTS games that never came out. Northgard is great on the deck!

Pretty much. If it works for the steam deck it should work for the desktop. There are some exceptions for some brand new games. But if you want to wait a week or two for new releases usually it’s fine.

They do. Just not 3rd party.

I’m loving it. But most of the people I talk to were put off by eternal. It’s more of that Soni can get people not picking it up for it’s very expensive cost currently.

People are upset about doom. I’m enjoying it, the engine is crazy cool and I love how badass I feel playing it. I get that it’s not a super long game, but I’m ok with that. I like just hopping in, murdering demons and being badass for short periods of time.

I played a couple matches and it was fun, but nothing I felt like playing more of. I feel like unless they get a huge influx of players buying the game they are just shooting themselves in the foot.

I’m really looking forward to this. I loved the world of control and really want to experience more on wacky stuff in it.

I’ve been buying $80 for years thanks to being Canadian!

I really look forward to this. I’ve enjoyed all the borderlands games for at least a few hundred hours. Borderlands 3 was fun but the humor was rough…

Honestly, for the most part I really enjoyed the voice acting in Guild Wars 2. But femme V is probably my favourite as of late.

Nope. They had anti cheat that supported it, but they experienced higher issues with cheating via linux than elsewhere. Which sucks. People who cheat suck.

It is still a loss for linux gamers.

I’ve always loved the idea of this game but always struggled with it. But in feel like playing with friends would make a difference.

Deadlock! It’s quite fun!

I really hope they add some ctf and koh modes in the future. I think it would add some fun variety to the game.

I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. i can’t wait to have money!

the game itself is really damned good! Being able to get through the queue though…

Destiny 2 is this behemoth of a game and I bought it and found it… really boring. The gunplay was meh and the weapons felt floaty. The game was really repetitive as well. But the art was cool! Now they continue to be hostile to linux so fuck em and the roach they rode in on!

I bought it because I was tired of the launcher and the bnet version was gifted to me. I also wanted to do my part for bumping the numbers for linux players.

I have the feeling this is another Bethesda puddle game. So big, but so shallow.

Yea I’m a linux gamer so waiting to see if it works for me is basically mandatory. Good way to stop pre-ordering lol.

This game is on my to buy list, but probably in a few years when they have ironed out all the issues and dropped the DLC in a GOTY or whatever edition they make later.

Lots of great changes. I don’t play much Dota anymore but I’m glad it still gets big updates like this

My wife and I play northgard together and it’s nice they keep supporting it. We haven’t really found much else she enjoys like northgard so we keep buying the content to keep them going!

But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it’s easier to convince them to do it. They didn’t start with a launcher so making one doesn’t make sense.

As much as I agree with the communities disdain for Overwatch 2. Blizzard knocked it out of the park with steam integration. No launcher, just sign into your account and it links them and you have your friends lists available. I hope that blizzard keeps this up and releases more games through steam this way.

It depends on your partners and what you want your experience to be. Want to do stupid shit and be silly? Then coop is for you. Want to take the story seriously and get fully immersed? Maybe solo is better for you

Hunt: Showdown, Diablo 4 and Baldur’s Gate 3

A very large amount of games are!

I have been playing the first season of Diablo 4 and it’s been fun, not because of Diablo but because it’s what my friends are doing.

Battlefield 2. My dad and I went wild building our first PC together. Good times.

DOS2 is such an insanely good game. BG3 is shaping up to be just as awesome.

Horse armor angst be damned. Diablo 4 was decently fun. But the grind is slooooow.

This event is awesome. I would strongly encourage anyone mildly interested to try it out.

More games than I would like to admit. But since I got a steam deck my backlog has actually been shrinking a bit!
