your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.
if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.
also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.
this is the worst way to find out my favorite game had a scummy dev the whole time lmao
there’s reviews from February that say you can still find populated servers, but that might be region dependant and you almost certainly won’t have a choice for gamemode.
guess we’re both just waiting for the next next good battlefield game 🙃
BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.
i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.
Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.
e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c
i swear pokémon duel would do the opposite of this. you’d get on a win streak and then suddenly a player with a very generic name and the EXACT counters to your deck fucken SWEEPS your ass with seemingly psychic precision. you could even trick it by switching to a deck with no synergy and just playing like a psycho whenever you got ~5 wins in a row.
i miss that game so much. taken before it’s time o7
i always just hang shit somewhere it won’t impede airflow and let it be. the ONE time i bought a prebuilt system was the only time i’ve had a computer with the cables remotely “managed”.
unfortunately one of the zip ties they used impeded the fan on the cpu cooler, but only when the case was closed. it made this buzzing noise that i couldn’t track down for months, and then the motherboard failed. and then the replacement motherboard failed.
i went back to building my own computers again after that.
There were 327 school shootings in the 2021-22 school year in the US. That’s more shootings than there are days in a school year. If we had an event wherein a known serial killer publicly tried to murder someone literally every day, reckon folks would be a might bit more concerned about it?
What I’m saying is this is a silly comparison for you to make.
Titanfall is hands down the most fun I’ve ever had with a shooter. I didn’t even like titan combat, 99% of the time I just ordered mine around in AI mode and played like a lil robot killing ninja. Only game where my team could get their shit kicked in the whole match, lose by a wide margin, and it would still be a real fun experience.
Burn cards were a terrible fucking idea tho.
I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.
I’ve been playing fallout 4 with a shit load of mods and it feels like I’m doing legitimate harm to my deck sometimes. Super neat that it works, but yeah it’s like 2 hours MAX.
Still kind of amazing considering it’s a full ass AAA game with graphics settings you’re not allowed to touch by default lmao
But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.
I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.
“But we’ve also come to this understanding that there are players out there that who deeply care about this game and want to invest more into this game, and we want to give them that value to invest in.”
This reads so disingenuous as to sound willfully ignorant. When you hook a whale on FOMO and they blow $200 on a single event, that’s not an investment. The average person has NO desire to spend this money, but a certain kind of person can be fooled into it. There’s no value add, it doesn’t improve the experience, you’re simply given chores and then an option to pay real world money to skip them.
There’s no longevity in paying to not play the game.
Did some searching, the guy is Robert Kurvitz and he’s only written the one book, Sacred and Terrible Air. It never got an official translation, but there’s two independent translations. I would go for the one that didn’t get machine translated and intensively rewritten several times lmao
not useful to you ≠ totally useless
