Thanks! I’ll watch the video.

Ooh, time to play the first two games!

No idea tbh. I mainly play on consoles, and until a few days back I didn’t even know Xbox publishes game on Steam too. Will have to check protondb. Will take a look.

A bit off topic, but I have been using Arch for over a decade now, and it has been pretty stable for me. My only issue in last few years were if my kernel got updated which needed updated nvidia driver, and I rebooted before noticing that. (Very old laptop, so nvidia drivers for this aren’t in repos, hence the issue). I didn’t use it for gaming though (very old laptop, wouldn’t even run old games)

BTW I recently went the opposite way, have been using only Linux for over a decade but got a new laptop a month back and kept the windows as a dual boot, though my main interest is to use it only for MS/Xbox first party games, that don’t have Linux support. Saving me from buying a separate Xbox.

I haven’t played it, but generally it doesn’t sound fun. @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world makes it sound fun. 😀

Heh, cool.

You make this game sound so fun.

Now that he has died and respawned, is he still Jerry’s son Cable? Or is it a new character now?

What did he do?

Wow, as a fan of Flight of the Conchords, what a waste!

Disclaimer: I haven’t played it yet, but I have talked to people who have liked it and who have hated it.

The games is very good, but it’s not a typical Final Fantasy game. They have removed, or reduced the RPG elements, and made it a very good action game with good narrative. So, if you go in expecting an RPG like previous Final Fantasy games you won’t like it. If you just go in expecting a good action / adventure game with some RPG elements, you’ll probably end up liking it

I agree with you, handheld can never compete with a desktop when it comes to raw power. So, if companies don’t consider it as a platform to target for, you’ll always have problem with latest games. Maybe not at launch, but you can’t upgrade a handheld “console” every year or two.

That’s the good thing about consoles, you buy it, and you know (most of) the games that come to the platform will just run on it.

I don’t have a SteamDeck so not sure how it works, but maybe they should make a sub-store for SteamDeck, that only has games that are verified to run on it. They can still have an option to search and download game from full steam store, but it should come as a warning that these games aren’t specifically made / optimized for Deck.

Just thinking out loud. Don’t actually know what SteamDeck owners really want. :-)

Patientgamers FTW!

Ah, thanks for the info.

So, as someone who got hyped because he is the man behind Black & White and Fable. What am I missing?

That’s understandable. Everyone has their own preferences, and there is nothing wrong with that.

They are remastering all the old ones, so I am hopeful for a new entry,

If you enjoy a game, but later find out that the game had some internal check where it auto-adjusted difficulty, will you stop liking it?

Again, not all games should have it. And not every dev implement it properly, that doesn’t mean a feature is inherently bad. There are places where it should be used, and where it should be used.

Well, not everyone plays games to get better. If I can enjoy the game, then what does it matter if games lets me think I am better than I actually am?

It’s your right to like or dislike any features. Just as it’s our right to like or dislike any features. There is no objectively good or bad in it.

Haven’t watched the video, but it depends on the game. For some games, these are very valid choices.

How are you liking Fallout 76?
