As a vita lover I couldn’t agree more. I didn’t play the assassins creed game but they had similar stuff in the Uncharted game which ultimately made me quit the game.
I remember having to hold it up to light to reveal something in game and I was playing at night whilst on public transport and no lights around me were emitting enough light to pass this stupid “mini game” -_-
Yeh IMO they are too large. I have a steam deck and I barely ever use it outside the house because it just isnt really that portable in terms of being able to fit it in a bag with all the other stuff you may need when going away, it takes up more than half of my bag space.
So I reverted back to my vita and the experience of actually using it as a portable is miles ahead. Like you say I can slip it in my pocket when transferring between trains or the like and it doesn’t fill half my bag when not in use.
I’m a big guy so dont have the smallest hands either but honestly find the steam deck a bit uncomfortable where as the vita just feels good to me.
The last MMO I properly played was Black Desert Online. It is an absolutely amazing game but with disgusting monetisation. It did however also become a dangerous addiction in my life. It is currently free on steam I believe though!
Since that experience I haven’t really played any MMOs, I tried out Throne and Liberty a few weeks ago and that was the most boring couple of hours of my life this year.
As a huge Guild Wars 1 fan, GW2 was one of the biggest disappointments ever.
I really want to try Unbound, it is the first title that has looked interesting to me in the NFS series for a while it is just a shame that I have to use their launcher, if this wasn’t the case I might actually even be willing to break my rule of not giving EA any money (although I would buy it when it was on deep sale that they have fairly often). Shame.
I have never thought it is worth it, even back when WOW released, the economy was better and I was a teenager with a lot more disposable income I would never pay for a subscription to play a game. It is just a terrible way to run a game and I have always thought that.
I’ve never really understood why people would support that kind of model personally, there has never been a justification in my book.
Back then Guild Wars 1 was and always will be the far superior game when put up against WOW in my personal opinion and once I’d paid for that I could play it every month without further outlay. Shame how they ruined it with GW2 (unpopular opinion I’m sure but I stand by it xD)
I tried it for the first time this year, I put in around 10 hours to try and get into it and honestly I found it pretty dull. I didn’t think the combat felt particularly satisfying and the story as far as I got in it did nothing to interest me or draw me in.
I’m not saying it is a bad game because I certainly dont think that but for me personally just nothing clicked, it felt like a slog just to get through the 10 or so hours I put in and I dont have enough time to force myself to like games any more so I just moved on.
Red Alert 2 was the last good Command and Conquer game in my opinion, I know Generals had a big following but I couldn’t get into anything after RA2.
How did it play on the steam deck? I’ve been playing a bit of Tiberium Sun lately but RA2 will always be my favourite, it could use a bit more balancing in multiplayer though.
Same as. I played it for about 2 hours not really getting very far the. the server went down for like 2 - 3 weeks (this is in early access) so I refunded. After it was back up all I heard about it was massive gank groups and the inability to play at all solo so I never bothered.
I wonder how this game will be different!?
The idea sounds very very similar to Last Oasis. I heard that just turned into a gank fest on launch so I never played, not sure if it is any better now.
There is a project that repurposes a blackberry keyboard to make a detachable android keyboard that I have saved somewhere. Phones are too big as it is however and adding that on, plus the cost being about 50% again over what I spent on the actual phone I’m not super keen on that.
I just want a blackberry key three xD
Yeh,i had the titan for around a year and a half. It was a decent piece of hardware with a keyboard that was fairly decent (not as good as blackberry still).
The problem with them is the software and support. The keyboards just about work but aren’t integrated into the whole experience like you got with a blackberry. It always felt a bit awkward and some choices were just weird, as if the programmers never tried actually using what they programmed.
I tried to put a custom ROM on mine but could never get the boot loader to unlock as it should have so ultimately I gave up as the positives for me of having a keyboard were being outweighed by the jank
There have been plenty, some that have come to fruition. The first and only thing I have ever back was the planet computers “Astro Slide”, I will never participate in crowd funding again after that fucking shit show.
At the end of the day though they don’t usually attract enough backers to really make a decent product out if it, which is a shame.
As the other commenter mentioned you can add games to steam as a non steam game to launch it via that. With pirated games I’m more than happy to launch from an icon though, it isn’t the actual method of launching that bothers me as much as it does making different bs accounts from these shitty companies.
Rockstar forces its own launcher if you want a legit copy but I’m guessing a pirate version will circumvent this.
I’d be excited if this wasn’t going to be another exercise in bleeding money out of its player base. Black Desert online is an amazing game and I was disgustingly addicted to it for 6 months or more. Ultimately though when you are trying to upgrade to duo, tri, pen etc and you are wasting days and days on failed attempts whilst having cash shop bullshit pushed in your face the amazing gameplay starts to become not enough to make you stay.
I still think about going back, I enjoyed it so damn much as a game but the monetisation is disgusting.
I’ve been playing New Vegas recently, I’m on the penultimate DLC now having just the final quest left in the main game. It has been a really enjoyable play through (the first time the game has stuck for me despite trying three times before) and I’m still enjoying it although I am looking forward to finishing it all and playing something new again after 90 hours.
Hope you enjoy!
I’m 25 hours into FO: New Vegas so will be continuing that. I have finally got into it on this, my third attempt to do so.
I used the viva new Vegas mod guide and everything has run so smoothly and generally been a great experience so far so slowly making my way through it and finally enjoying it :D
I did the same, beat it on PS3 back in the day and thought it was alright. However I went back to it this year just to play through the single player again as I was craving that kind of gameplay (funnily enough after playing sleeping dogs for the first time). My god is it trash, the single player campaign is the same shit over and over, I couldn’t even finish it this time it was just so fucking boring.
Ive been playing since the first game, remember the insane hype and build up to San Andreas with the welcome to the jungle trailers but 6 I just couldn’t care less about. The franchise is dead to me, everything that made it good is gone, I just wish there was a decent alternative.
I do like it with those controller attachments, it does improve it further still be sacrifices a bit of portability in terms of no longer being pocket friendly.
I do agree it can be uncomfortsble after a time but for me that is more after hours opposed to minutes but everyone’s bodies are different and I can see why is may cramp some peoples hands quicker.
I find with the steam deck it is just a bit too large for me, it makes it feel a bit unwieldy and unstable in my hands for some reason. For me I think the sweet spot in terms of comfort would probably be something in the middle.
It probably has a lot to do with the kinds of games I play on it as well though. On the vita I played a lot of jrpgs, it really was a beast for that genre, and with those games it can be a lot more menus with turn based combat etc. That means I’d often play with it flat on my lap and not gripping it like a controller which is definitely a less cramped position.
