I like your question but you should formulated better, that’s why it’s getting downvoted.

Short Answer: No, it’s not a flop. Long answer: Many have given the meaning of a flop so I will not repeat. What you want to know it seems is if ERN succeeded as a multiplayer and I get the feeling you are comparing it to FPS, but they have very different markets. ERN made good money and satisfied the Soul-Like gamers Multiplayer addiction. Elden Ring is also not massive when compared to Counter Strike but in proportion ERN is very successful. The learning curve for the Souls-Like games is usually also a detractor for many.

The Steam Deck was the way of bringing SteamOS to the masses, now the HW developers will sell their devices in Walmart just by the Switch and the other consoles, it will be cheaper due to the 0 license cost (or, you know, pocketing the difference) with a big, ever expanding, catalog.

About the Switch 2, the hype is there definitely and it is a known brand, mainly sold to families and casual gamers. But even PlayStation and Xbox are not competing with Nintendo.

Yes but that’s it right, they are not developing for Linux, Steam is doing it for the developer. There is nothing stopping Windows of saying sell exclusively through my Store, though I believe they have tried.

But I do understand were you are coming from Windows is definitely not the most ethical company and definitely they are not up for fair fight, what I’m trying to say is that I hope the game developers focus more in the mobile market and optimize the games more.

I hope Windows does try to challenge Steam. Competition is good, it should strongly drive PC game optimization.

You have been nominated for Best Sentences of 2025. Congratulations.

I think most users just get a new device eventually. So as long the OEM have to get Ms licenses. Windows will still be around.

I also checked on my account forgot to mention that.

I get what you mean but as an avid souls player I can tell you N:A wasn’t easy at the beginning. Felt like an “old game” then something clicked for me and was able to really enjoy the game and ended up getting all endings. It is not for everyone.

Surprised that Nier Automata is not showing as similar, from the gameplay I saw it is essentially the same game.

I’ve got the feeling that GPU development is plateauing, new flagships are consuming an immense amount of power and the sizes are humongous. I do give DLSS, Local-AI and similar technologies the benefit of doubt but is just not there yet. GPUs should be more efficient and improve in other ways.

The Sandevistan Mods, Autoloot and Damage Scaling was what I used to roll.

the Sandevistan one is stupid fun, I don’t remember which one is it (got it from some YouTube videos). You stop time, throw granades and knives, slice through baddies then you watch everything unfold when time restores.

“Oh, don’t worry, we’ll just have the Generative Vocal Algorithms start reciting the Bee Movie script. And for text, how about a 500-page dissertation on the philosophical implications of loot boxes? It’ll either be avant-garde brilliance or the perfect cure for insomnia. Your move!”

The difference as I understand it is that the frames in-between the real frame are generated by extrapolation in the Frame Generation technologies. They use one of the many flavors of AI to do this.

The TV’s Motion Smoothing is interpolation (which is fine for Movies) as there is no latency to be “felt”.

Script??? Think bigger, friend, you don’t need developers, just tell the AI what you want and compile.

I also like my telenovelas. For real, im so used to it that I notice when it is not active.

Last time this happened to a Chinese game I owned, it’s because their publisher was removed off steam for fake reviews or something. The devs had to get a new publisher and issued owners of the game new keys to the game since they had to make a new store page.

This sounds very plausible to me.

Well, would you look at that, if it ain’t the consequences of their own actions.

Can’t wait to see the Netflix adaptation again with Henry Cavill as Ciri.

" You are making me lose money!" Said Scrooge the company worth 67 Billion.

Where have I seen this?

But what’s the alternative?

Where we are going there is no documentation.

So, you want to use AUR whenever possible by adding -git to every package that you want to install, also mess with your python install by mixing pip and AUR packages, don’t forget to install your nvidia beta drivers.

I use Arch (btw), I break my own stuff whenever I want, keep up Microsoft.

Secretly in love with AUR and a masochist.

“Control multiplayer spin-off which the company said will give players a “unique Remedy angle” on the genre.”

You mean PvP with flying, telekinesis and other powers…

Could this be the new Quake?

Soul Reaver Remaster? Too soon. Dude, I just want Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster for a proper update in graphics.

Thus ensuring that the most degenerate and repulsive mods are created for it, may Bahamut have mercy on his soul.

As cm0002 said, you need to define your budget first. With that you can start looking around. You can find a more capable system than the SteamDeck second hand.

For a new system, look for a System Integrator that offers warranty. Usually local PC stores offer this kind of service.

It’s hard to render too much massacre…

Give Indie games a chance, they are booming right now

It might be possible but as far as I know that it is not “a big secret”.

Very much agree

That’s a very bad business strategy, it should be one or the other, X Cloud or in Console parity. The parity being the weak one. I would like to know the defense arguments for this strategy.

Microsoft is getting a bad rep because they don’t want to let the Series S go. They are not handling these problems very well. The Series X should be the “cheap” platform and they should have a “Pro”, called Series XS (pronounced excess, you are welcome Microsoft), so they are the platform that people want and not the platform that’s holding back games.

I completely disagree with the usage of the word completely because I completely believe it is a completely exaggerated title. Completely

What are they going to show? Overwatch mobile? Everyone has a phone

shrug “Decent”

I played cyberpunk with Lutris and Heroic Launcher, once installed there were practically no issues whatsoever. Of course you miss the achievement log and save sync.

They don’t need to support the Steam Deck, they just need to support linux. Funnily enough GOG was one of the first platforms to try to bring the games to linux.
