I think you’re pretty safe. 1.6 just came out like a year ago. I think you will be good for a few years.

The games industry is too greedy. Everyone just says that at AAA and charges the max price.

But some games are significantly bigger and better than others. I’m not paying 80 for Mario kart but I’d consider 80 for gta vi if it actually delivers a good game.

These two games are much different and only one is really worth the higher price tag.

Everyone just wants to sell their game as the ultimate experience.

I’m kind of done with modern gaming for the most part. It’s too big and bloated.

Give me better quality games and stop spending all the money on graphics. We actually need lower graphics games so we can run new games on older hardware.

This game looks really great. Too bad it’s not on pc.

I guess I’ll have to wait also, I’ll probably hope that an updated steamdeck gets released around the time of this game.

I’d rather build a new computer to play this game rather than get a console. But I think an i7-8700 with a new gpu should suffice.

That’s strange, if it’s consistently saying that.

Does it do the same thing whether you are in WiFi or cellular data?

You can check the dns settings to make sure they are set to automatic or manually set them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Those are Google dns servers.

If neither option work, I’d be concerned that your data is being funneled through a vpn without your knowledge.

You might be able to check that by searching “what is my ip address” and use whatever website shows it. Write down what you see and then do it on the cellular connection. The ip address should be different.

If it is the same on both, then you might have your data going through a vpn located in Miami.

Please feel free to message me directly about either of these things.

Or at least a drm free installer.

I guess I’ll stock up on gog installers for games I own on Steam if Steam ever becomes the villain.

I hate all the gimmicky mechanics so, I’d be down with getting rid of all that stuff like go back to gen1 before berries and holding items to increase power and stuff.

But I do not want to have to switch boxes to hold Pokémon on the PC or have limited storage for held items.

I wouldn’t mind a 2d version, but maybe they could draw inspiration from the Zelda 2d remakes.

OMG! Yes! classic doom had some of the most frustrating level designs. I started to hate the game after being lost forever on some maps.

I got lost a few times in that game as a kid. I do not htink it is too bad these days. I think it was a matter of being put in a significantly larger world from what we were used to.

I’ve played it so many times at this point, I think I could navigate it without enemies or needing to click on consoles it with my eyes closed.

I’m really not getting into it. I’m near the end of the main quest line and it was fun at first, but it’s just become repetitive and it makes just want to play Skyrim again instead.

Same, if my steamdeck can’t run it then I don’t play it. I love portable gaming so much because I can just be around the house or quickly suspend the game if something comes up.

Additionally it seems all the new games are pretty boring, maybe I’m just getting old, but I don’t care about graphics at all, just give me a fun game.

I’m actually playing the original oblivion right now and have no problems or complaints about the graphics, it’s just not important to me.

Anyone test it on steamdeck?

If there a good enough games out for it, then I might consider getting one when the budget version gets released.

But, we will see not if there is stick drift and stuff like that.

Yeah! I forgot it was on the wiiu that actually how I played it too. I later got a switch and played through it again though.

Completely agree. They burnt all their goodwill in the past few years. I have no interest in the company and the products.

That’s a good list for sure oot and alttp and halo 1 for me. I’m surprised you skipped Halo 2. I never really liked that one as much as the others but people really seem to love it.

That’s amazing! It’s one of the few games that I feel like replaying every few years. Some of the others are Mario 3, doom 1 and 2.

There are others but I can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.

That’s going to be their problem with this. Is the tech similar to the switch, just more powerful?

If so, im guessing there will be a huge effort to make an emulator. And im guessing it will happen quickly.

It seems that ryujinx’s creator got a big check to stop, so maybe others are hoping for the same.

Remember, Nintendo tried to sue a grocery store in Costa Rica. Maybe don’t support them.

Remember Nintendo… please feel free to list the hundred other crappy things they did here.

Thanks for reminding me to not buy the switch 2

I completely agree, I can’t even think of any games from this gen that were must play games that didn’t also come out on pc.

I think all gaming is heading towards pc at this point.

I’m at the point where I am only interested in handheld gaming.

The only reason I’d buy a dedicated gpu these days is to run AI stuff locally.

I don’t think so, it’s the name of the town where it takes place. I’d argue that it’s no better or worse than resident evil, stardew valley, or world of Warcraft.

I tend to agree with you, I think the downfall started in the ps3 era since that’s when online was in every console. I understand your idea that it was bad in ps4 era since devs had the time to figure out how to makes things worse due to the ability to use the internet to sell things/deliver patches.

Ohh uh yeah good point.

I didn’t check, but I’d guess it’s the same small group of people who made the first one.

Maybe at this point they are holding off to make it a switch 2 launch title.

I want them to take all the time they need. The more time in the oven, the better.

My brothers might be in my parents basement still. I wonder if it even still works.

It’s kind of crazy how they have been looking for this for so long and nothing has turned up despite the games popularity.

Sadly, my old computer that possibly could have had this ended up in the garbage years and years ago.

I avoid using fandom like it’s contagious. It’s so cluttered, when my blockers on images don’t load half the time. It’s a slow site.

It’s really the worst, I’d rather scrub through a YouTube video to find the answer I’m looking for rather than go to a fandom site.

Wasn’t it just running Android in desktop mode?

I have 2 things to say about this.

Either…

Done for the time being…

Or

At least it says it’s done.

Just in case anyone is not reading the article. It’s just saying that manufactures can only make new computers with intel 11th gen cpus or later.

I think this is kind of a good thing, that way companies can’t sell old cpus to people who don’t know any better.

Additionally, I read somewhere else that they added some extra AMD CPU’s that were not there before.

I think consoles selling at a loss was pretty common. I’m not sure when they switched. Maybe the ps4 era? But who knows.

There is something that feels off about avowed. I only played it for a few hours, and it’s like eating generic brand chocolate.

I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about the game. Now that I think about it, the land seems kind of empty. In Skyrim, there is always something around. Even if it’s just a goat.

This game has little patches of enemies here and there. It also feels a bit linear so far. I’m probably not going to play anymore as everyone I play this, it just makes me want to play Skyrim again.

Maybe I can find a mod that gives me an avowed style want weapon. I really like how the want looks and works.

I think it already has. Basically every modern game works in it. The iGPU is good but some games don’t look great, but the fact that these games will at least be playable is amazing.

I’m playing showed now and it runs and looks great. Of course it’s far from what a modern dgpu can make it look like, but I’m never gaming at a desk again.

Maybe this is how the consoles die. Do they really make that much on hardware?

I’m guessing they make their money on taking a percentage from each game sold on their hardware.

I wonder if we will see the end of PlayStation at some point as people transition to things like the steamdeck.

It has all the benefits of pcgaming and can really just be interacted with like a console.

Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.

The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.

I hope so, I don’t even really need much more power, but I’ll be a day one buyer to support the platform.

I’ll hand the steamdeck 1 down to my wife for stardew, if she wants it.

Due to the unnecessary padding to stretch the game out, I feel that you might get burned out.

I haven’t been following the story as I’m already familiar with the original story. I didn’t think they would have made and significant changes to it. I just wanted to see the worlds.

It’s too bad, I wish they would have kept turn based as an option.

I would have loved that so much.
