[feral ferry]

Yeah but see, the problem there is that I don't care for the Jedi game, or Alan Wake, or RE4 much

AC6 I finished, was very mediocre

Hifirush I have nothing against, good game

Still, this year was for me uninteresting cause none of the titles I really care for

Oof... le mixed

[orchid prism]

Le well deserved.

[feral ferry]

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with that sentiment whatsoever

Again my experience with Starfield was very skewed cause I literally just did all the sidequests and exploration first lol and really liked it

And when I have seen virtually everything in the less-than-procedural world generation, and only main quest was left, it sure was boring

Main quest is absolutely horrible

[orchid prism]

It has a lot of promising ideas. But it never manages to get to the finish line with most of them.

You can be a criminal, but there's only no companion from the main quest that'll let you do even a slight crime, in spit of a whole spiel about "what you do outside of company time, isn't our problem"

[feral ferry]

And even though I grew up with an ancient brick of a PC, so I don't require much in terms of graphical fidelity or performance, this game was absolutely shite to run

Loading screens are too much

And game design is dated

I sure hope they return to more Oblivion-esque design for Elder Scrolls 6

[orchid prism]

They have a near infinite, generated worldscape for settlements, but they've diminished them into primitive mining outposts, tiny and poorly designed.

[feral ferry]

One vast giant main area, and randomly generated "sub-worlds" like the daedric planes to explore

[orchid prism]

The main quest asks some interesting questions, but never answers most of them.

[feral ferry]

But yeah definitely it feels where Starfield failed was that they forced the player to jump between worlds too much

The "hubs" are relatively shorts stays, then you are just forced to load screen to load screen

With previous games at least the game was in a continuous open world until you enter a major settlement or housing, and the load times were short af

Someone raised a really good point lol, people gave way too much shit to Outer Worlds, which is a better space game than Starfield

[orchid prism]

It wasn't bad. But it was very short. And also had a lot of holes in the overall experience.

It also suffered from major Rick and Morty reference syndrome as I understand

[feral ferry]

Kinda what I felt?

It was a very soulless world that tried to be funny

Even Borderlands had me more interested and I hate borderlands with a passion

At least I don't hate outer worlds, just really really soulless game

[fading spade]

[feral ferry]

Worst? Come on, UMD probably takes that one

[tough jay]

I feel the PlayStation Portal needs some work but is mostly fine for what it is.
Just not being able to use wifi portals is kind of an oversight.

[fading spade]

cant even connect to public wifi if it requires you to login via a webpage

[feral ferry]

Yeah the portal is a shitty gimmick product

When you can do the same by hooking it up to a laptop or a phone or something

[nimble current]

umd worked fine, just overpriced and obscure like a lot of sonys formats

[feral ferry]

I mean it was THE format for PSP

[tough jay]

If what it does is exactly what you want its fine, value wise from a technical stand point the price seems fine.

offering a decent screen for that price with a dual sense controller. It's basically tbe ps5's version of the Wii U screen.

[fading spade]

WiiU tablet streams the games better than the Portal xd

[nimble current]

from a feature and reliability point of view sonys formats rarely disappoint but they always end up asking too much for it so nobody wants to adapt it

[fading spade]

Im convinved Sony made the portal to "prove" that people dont want a handheld device to play on so that they dont have to make another PSP anytime soon

[fringe salmon]

that makes no sense

lets make something we think is not going to sell well to prove that

[fading spade]

People dont buy Portal
Sony think there is no demand for a handheld xd

[feral ferry]

But why would they do that

[fringe salmon]

thats not how any company works they want to make money

[feral ferry]

I think the reality is, is that Sony can't make a handheld that can actually natively run PS5 games lel

[fading spade]

Portal sold out LOL, seems to be selling well somehow.... wonder what the return rate will be like xd

[feral ferry]

Chips that are low wattage aren't there in power to run PS5 games

Best they have is remote streaming

[fading spade]

IDK if that is Sony's goal here

[feral ferry]

A handheld that streams your PS5 gameplay to it?

[fading spade]

badly streams*

[feral ferry]

Like, it's obvious what they want from it

It's fine

[fading spade]

all the videos I saw, the connection seemed really shit

[feral ferry]

It's not as bad as early footage suggested

It's not good, it's not horrible

[fading spade]

Chiaki better..but Chiaki is a pain to setup .-.

[feral ferry]

Enough to lay down in a fuckin bath for 30 mins and play Factorio or someshit

[tough jay]

There is a market for console users who want to use their console without using the tv, the PS portal serves that market.
This is one thing Nintendo Correctly identified with the Wii U.

[feral ferry]

Is factorio even on ps5

[hot spire]

Only switch

Dose it need always on Internet?

I mean good wifi can solve that

Idk what chip the PS5 and portal have though

I do know Sony gimped the vita with a shit chip

That means nothing if it's a shitty chipset

The vita "has" n

No it can do wifi direct

But it has n

Cant even do g speeds

N has the same range as g

Idk what you are talking about

N is a extension of g

To higher data rates

You can have 5 ghz n, but also 2.4

But yeah the vita 6 inchs form a router might get 20mbps

There has been a lot of talk about trying to get a new Wi-Fi chip via the 4G socket

As it's literally the only thing holding back it's streaming capability

The vita can easily handle full res 60fps video even with under clock

Just no way to get the data in

Yeah

[stark knot]

could any valorant players give me a good profile?

[hot spire]

another day another ayaneo talking gdp ideas

i owned a ux

not great

ikr

i remeber the sound system rooms

[deft bloom]

bonzi buddy
freud

[tropic vapor]

whats with all these handheld pcs that arent the steam deck refusing to include dual touchpads alongside the analog sticks

[hot spire]

valve has thier touch pad patented

[tropic vapor]

ah i see

to be fair though the dual touchpads are enough of a selling point for me that i wont buy a handheld pc without them

[hot spire]

keyboard > touch pad

i didnt like them that much on stream controller or vive

[tropic vapor]

tbh the main thing is the touchpads are extra binding surfaces alongside the analog sticks

so you can put menus and stuff on them or have both a mouse cursor and mouse region in a 2d game that uses mouse aiming

where even is the mouse on that thing

is it the thumbstick/trackpoint thing on the right

[fading spade]

I hope this is satire....

[feral ferry]

It is

[willow quiver]

Bad graphics so I didn’t play it

[feral ferry]

Ngl I think Black Mesa is an overall better experience than HL1

Some heresy

Oh wait Black Mesa has that really long conveyor level in Xen... yeah HL1 is better just for that

[bleak pike]

WHEN DID BORDERLANDS GET A VR PORT

[barren pewter]

Many moons ago

What rock have you been living under?

[fringe salmon]

Years ago and you talked about it yourself back then here lol

[barren pewter]

Wait…

Does the VR version maintain the multiplayer option?

Internet says no

Welp that’s one less VR game for game night with fym :(

[hot spire]

https://youtu.be/a7b0qXYVTzI?si=IVFis2sTq3unCk4T

[bleak pike]

Better than star trek

[hot spire]

I mean not better than lower decks

[nimble current]

black mesa is fine but as someone with hundreds of hours into the first one back in the day the sound design and voice acting is just all wrong

it ain't half-life without those goofy scientists

[novel umbra]

bl2, like AGES ago

[feral ferry]

I think Black Mesa was an overall more fun experience up until Xen

Then the first idk.. 20-40 minutes of Xen was fun

But Xen was so artificially prolonged just to make it feel bigger than it was in the original that they kinda lost the plot

Especially with the damn alien conveyor factory, that lasted HOURS too long

[fossil solar]

Idek if anyone here still plays starfield but I’m having fun building ships and also @bleak pike for Star Wars

[deft bloom]

now open the wings

[fossil solar]

I remember their marketing approach sucking. I tried to request a review unit (even as a loan) years back.

Their response was to buy one, and if our review hit a certain amount of views, they'd refund us - if they like the review

[fading spade]

O.o

[orchid prism]

Very predatory and a lot of smaller influencers and such definitely fell into that trap

[still spire]

Yeah SD is far from perfect, but Valve as a compan, while like any company is out to make money, they also support their products incredibly well, as shown by the Steam Controller and Link discontinued for eyars still get updates

[hardy merlin]

Well, with Steam Controller they f up a bit, to set it up and update firmware you have to switch to old UI, all functions necessary are still in Steam, but new UI doesn't show them

Still, they even released all necessary .bins if you want to reflash controller by yourself

Google did the same with Stadia too

[still spire]

Stadia controller is like the worst controller ever according to GamersNexus

So I'm shocked

[hardy merlin]

It's my second favourite, just after Dualsense

[deft bloom]

this is my favorite

[lucid brook]

it's gonna explode

[hardy merlin]

I wonder if Google would send cease and desist if I were to dump their Stadia updater website and host it myself
Kinda bummer they're discontinuing it in a month

Also like 90% of pirated games just use steamemu, which works on steamos

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/T0t-DYPWVw0

Reminds me of this.

[hot spire]

That's factually wrong as you can enable achievements on most steam emus

[orchid prism]

Mhmm

[hot spire]

You can rip the achievement id from steamdb and add it to the ini

If he would have spent like a minute reading the documentation for steamemu, he'd know that.

Also the game has been pirated since the day it came out, and he keeps making all this videos about preventing privacy and such

[vapid lintel]

It's unsinkable I tell you, unsinkable!

[orchid prism]

His stories from his time at Blizzard are gold though.

[feral ferry]

Sometimes they do waffle about things that are incorrect

But eh it's fine

[hot spire]

Yeah I watched a few of those

[orchid prism]

At least HE knows what a dinosaur is

[hot spire]

This reminds me of a terraria mod that turns a lot of enemies and bosses into anime girls/monster girls.

[pure bear]

wah wah not our fault

[tough jay]

Making a high budget game is a tough market in general. If it's not from a popular franchise and also is not very good it's going to fail.
Blaming it on the market is just deflecting.

[drifting rose]

especially considering the game reviewed poorly

[tough jay]

Just basing it on general consensus but still if you invest a lot in developing such a game you need more than that.

I may play it once it's cheap or something.

[hardy merlin]

Ah, classic EA
Yeah, once it becomes cheap

Did Rito just made Invoker lite? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiLL9ZwaBRE

[still spire]

Mine didn't ship today which is odd

I expected it to, being ups had a shipping label printed since Friday, I expected at least a package pickup, but no, just label created still

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, mine sits at "Packaged items" since Friday too

[still spire]

It's said shipped since Friday though

So I expected at least a pickup

[hardy merlin]

Hah! They did remove DualSense as supported natively in Hi-Fi RUSH

[bleak pike]

Even if you dont factor in the recent news, the sate of the game has been dreadful since Lightfall which was a horendious expansion.

Its really sad.

Right now there are 791,784 players across all platforms though. @flat frost

Nah

Average was 1.2-1.5m

Before LF

We dont have data for epic/store which apparently quite high.

Due to perks

And free DLC

gamepass used to give newest DLC free for example so a lot of players are still there

as their bought stuff wont work on other platforms (seasons passes etc)

Regardless.... 1.5m to 700k

Most console players are not like PC players either in regards to how much they play.

But ye, the state of the game is a mess, especially after the recent news.

[barren pewter]

who died this time?

[bleak pike]

Personally i get very little enjoyment and haven't for a long time, i only login to play a raid with friends or if someone needs help which is like 2 hours a week.

And when the season story content is over which only lasts 30 min or so a week for 5 weeks there is not much to do.... new raid and dungeons sure, but it gets old fast.

[bleak pike]

Financial security for 100 workers.

And moral

[barren pewter]

very good

hoping they push for more next time

[bleak pike]

tbh, the low statsd atm are quite normal, its the same every Nov.

Last Nov was 38,158.9 and atm 33,702.6, its the season before the final season but also we all know the next season is extended for a long time.

New seasn starts next Tuesday, it will shoot up again lol

[barren pewter]

also
not to paraphrase the one britbong with any brain cells
but Hobbes has stated that morality is subjective and purely attached to the seeking of pleasures and minimising of pain
so as long as this results in a better bottom line for them (as an investor holding activision), I'm vibing

[bleak pike]

They are suffering

Sales plumited for them, they still make a fuck ton though.

[barren pewter]

as long as it goes up, line go up

just add multiplayer to the original game already

The narration was interesting. But the plot was completely rewritten about halfway through I believe, and that messed up the final product.

Yeah the plot was nonsense for the most part, game was also 1/4th the size of the original but asked for 90% of the price

And re-used so much it felt a little insulting

Slime Rancher... Perfect game for co-op chill-out
And devs don't even give a f about it

[feral ferry]

Wdym they don't give fs about it?

There's the second game, it's pretty alright

[hardy merlin]

Exactly

Show me co-op in Slime Rancher 2

[nimble current]

some devs either hate their own game or hate the playerbase it would seem

[hardy merlin]

Just add co-op in a way Stardew Valley does, it's still single player game story-wise, but you can have friends play around with you

It'd work out perfectly with Slime Rancher

It's a bit like Banished (and such tile based colony builders) if it was a roguelike and you were on a timer.

[tough jay]

Same here

[fading spade]

Wonder why the Portal is so heavy

Maybe the controller tech?

[feral ferry]

Does it have haptics, vibrations and whatever?

[fading spade]

it has everything the actual PS5 controller has

but smaller sticks

[feral ferry]

Well yeah that's the weight

[feral ferry]

That price is wrong lol

[fading spade]

which one?

[feral ferry]

Deck is now 550$

Nowhere near 349 anymore

[fading spade]

no, they still sell the 256GB LCD model for 400 dollars

[feral ferry]

Also who cares about G vcloud

[fading spade]

but yeah, its still wrong

[feral ferry]

Discontinued

[fading spade]

no its not

[feral ferry]

Yes it is

[fading spade]

the new lineup is 256GB LCD, 512GB OLED, 1TB OLED

[feral ferry]

64GB one is discontinued

[fading spade]

yeah

not the 256GB

[hardy merlin]

64GB and 512GB LCDs

[feral ferry]

Ah you did say 256jeeby version

[fading spade]

the 256GB replaces the 64GB

yeh

[feral ferry]

419,00€ for 256 is a ripoff

[still spire]

lol

It's the hardware you're paying for, Valve's profit margin is slim on these devices so the sotrage is overpriced, aye

[fading spade]

well, before that it was 419 for 64GB

sooooooooooo

[still spire]

And yet it's still bettr than other consoles

[hardy merlin]

Laptop with 4c/8t, 16GB of RAM, quite good integrated GPU and SSD for €400? Quite a bargain tbh

[fading spade]

they are more expensive in Ireland ;-;

[hardy merlin]

And even more so in PL

[feral ferry]

Technically if you tweak the 64GB version and add in like 1TB 2242 drive it's basically same price as the 256GB option

[fading spade]

Especially since, in Ireland at least, laptops that cost 400 Euro here typically have 4GB ram, 64GB storage and 786p displays with an intel atom CPU

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, that's what I did with mine

[hardy merlin]

In Poland to get a laptop similar to 256GB Deck you'd have to spend somewhere around 3000~3500zł With 768p display of course

[fading spade]

whats that in Euro?

[orchid prism]

[still spire]

Als you can't make Deck jokes with a laptop

[fading spade]

[still spire]

"Wanna see my Laptop?" isn't as fun as "Wanna see my Deck?"

[hardy merlin]

€700 or thereabouts

[fading spade]

true xd

[feral ferry]

You are a bit wrong on that but that's alright

[orchid prism]

Literally couldn't pay to buy and cook yourself.

[feral ferry]

6c/12t laptop with FHD screen will cost you like 550 euros or thereabouts

[fading spade]

bruh

[feral ferry]

So basically current pricing of a Steam OLED

OLED will just look far better

[still spire]

lol

Yes the portal is bad

Yes Sony fans will eat it up

[feral ferry]

Portal has no real reason to exist

[hardy merlin]

I may be, that's how prices are in local electromarkets, but on the Internet they will surely be cheaper

[feral ferry]

The remote streaming app is on phones or something

[fading spade]

Especially since you can connect to public wifi networks using the Portal

[still spire]

Can't* yeah

[feral ferry]

Jesus christ why are you buy off an actual store

[fading spade]

since it doesnt have a way to load the login pages

.-.

[feral ferry]

Physical store prices are like 30% markup lol

[hardy merlin]

I'm not But I haven't bought a laptop in a long time, so that's the most actual info I have

[feral ferry]

Well with the new OLED it's basically a 1:1 pricing

Except that with laptop I guess you are getting.. a laptop

And Deck isn't great for productivity

[fading spade]

Once you dock it, its not bad for productivity

[feral ferry]

Ngl with the new pricing for Deck OLED being like 550$, I would prolly buy a rog ally instead

[hardy merlin]

I can plug keeb, mouse and monitor to it, VPN to our corpo and work as usual, but for most productivity tasks, sure, it's not great

[fading spade]

I did all of my work exams on it LOL

Python shit mainly and some C# stuff

What OS does the Portal use??

[feral ferry]

Android prolly

[fading spade]

is it based on BSD like the PS5 OS? Or is it Android?

[hardy merlin]

Custom BSD-based most likely, just like PS5

[fading spade]

Possibly

[feral ferry]

It runs a Snapdragon 6xx series from Qualcomm and Android 13

It's just a shitty gimped phone

Connect a wireless controller to your phone and download Playstation remote streaming app

1. Did you know that if you have a phone and a wireless controller you can make your own Playstation Portal FOR FREE?! 🤯 😱

[feral ferry]

And it's also better lol

It's just a useless gimmick

I hope it doesn't sell

[still spire]

It is though

It's sold out and scalpers are selling at inflated prices

And those are selling out

There's tons of videos up on how awesome it is

and IGN rated it as better than the Stam Deck. 😛

[feral ferry]

Well people being r-tarded, tell me something else

[still spire]

Steam*

[feral ferry]

Nothing new in this world

[novel umbra]

how does it only get 4 hours of battery life

[hardy merlin]

Also, isn't Chiaki better alternative for PS Remote Play?

[feral ferry]

A what

[hardy merlin]

https://sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki/

[feral ferry]

Is that a safe link?

That looks bogus

[hardy merlin]

It's sourcehut

Have a github link https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/chiaki

[feral ferry]

"for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Android, macOS, Windows, Nintendo Switch and potentially even more platforms."

So yes it's already better than Sony's own app

[hardy merlin]

Also seamlessly works with all Deck's controls if you want to run it there

[tropic vapor]

why the hell is the embed a fake video

shame on you reddit

if only there was a vxreddit

Portal cant do HDR despite PS Remote Playing supporting it LOL

Stream to OLED HDR Deck, easy

[novel umbra]

steamdeck doesn't do hdr either tho

[still spire]

It does now

[novel umbra]

oh

what kinda firmware magic did they do lol

[fading spade]

Gamescope

[still spire]

New screen

lol

[tropic vapor]

how the hell did ign say a fucking shitty streaming device hardlocked to a console barely anybody owns and only serves to stream from that console
was better than a whole ass gaming pc that fits in your hands and has quad back paddles and dual touchpads

[still spire]

And yes lots of tweaks

[novel umbra]

because last thing I knew the OLED didn't support it either

[hardy merlin]

Only OLED version, and only in gamescope compositor, but still

[fading spade]

HDR capable screen + GameScope compositor

[tropic vapor]

i have an LCD deck bc i was an early adopter

[fading spade]

same

[hardy merlin]

same

[novel umbra]

same

[fading spade]

I want the OLED HDR model though... 🤤

[tropic vapor]

hopefully they sell an oled screen replacement at some point thatd be sick to do like an upgrade with

[fading spade]

that would be very difficult to replace

[hardy merlin]

Nah, it has quite different PCB unfortunately

[fading spade]

ive seen screen replacements to install DeckHD and they look horrifying

[tropic vapor]

ah rip

[fading spade]

you got to make sure you definetly dont want to use the original screen again

cause the chance to break it while removing it is very high

[novel umbra]

basically only thing that carried over 1:1 is the rear?

[tropic vapor]

ok but still like WHAT

[fading spade]

What happens to the PS Portal when the PS6 comes out???

will they all become useless?

[hardy merlin]

I guess so? I'd have to disassemble mine once it arrives and check it out closely

[novel umbra]

a lot of people own a ps5 btw

[tropic vapor]

dang i thought they were still hard to get

[hardy merlin]

Nah, Remote play works locally on PS3/PS4/PS5

[novel umbra]

they sold a lot of units

the issue is the games still

[tropic vapor]

honestly i think the funnier thing is that ign gave MWIII a 4
which might as well be a 1 from an actual review

[still spire]

Also Sony had remote play working on PS3/PS4 better

With the Vita

Literally gone backwards

[tropic vapor]

also like the other problem is you can't install software to convert it into a pc streaming device either without jailbreaking it

[hardy merlin]

Hah!
To add salt to injury there's already work in progress for Chiaki to run itself in gamescope, so it'd work with HDR

[tropic vapor]

theres literally zero point other than a ps5 remote play system which who the hell would spend 200 on that

[hardy merlin]

What the...

[still spire]

Told you

People are eating them up

[feral ferry]

People are stupid, what else is new

[nimble current]

copium

"in a year I bet they'll be better than steam deck"

[tropic vapor]

what the hell why are people eating up a useless 200 dollar remote play tablet that has nearly no power under the hood and is probably dirt cheap for sony to make aside from the display

it seems the display would be the biggest cost but even then i dont think its worth 200

[novel umbra]

yes

[still spire]

lol

[tropic vapor]

plus whats the point of having a good display if you can only use it for ps5 remote play

i'd want to use a good display for more than just that

[still spire]

It's not a great display, your phones is likely better

[novel umbra]

I mean a lot of people only play on a PS5

[tropic vapor]

so theres not even that as a selling point

WHY ARE PEOPLE BUYING IT THEN

its literally 200 dollar ewaste

[still spire]

Fanboyism

[tropic vapor]

its still irritating cause the deck goes roughly for around that price point

and it can actually run games without streaming them from an expensive console

[novel umbra]

you can prob get the 64gb LCD deck for that price?

[tropic vapor]

and if you want to actually stream games from an expensive console with the deck you can anyways

[novel umbra]

or the 256 one even

[still spire]

256GB Refurb Deck for 280$ From Steam

[tropic vapor]

not to mention the deck is an emulation beast

at least for on the go emulation that is

pretty much any handheld pc would be but the deck makes it more affordable

oh yeah almost forgot to mention

the deck can run ps4 games (well i mean their pc ports) at fully original quality (at its reduced resolution)

and ps5 games are eventually coming to pc as well and are being made deck compatible

[hardy merlin]

You are making huge mistake here
You are trying to think logically
And fanbois do not use logic

[tropic vapor]

honestly though i dont get why console warrers call sony fanboys ponies of all things

anyhow console wars are kinda stupid

[fading spade]

Actually, there is one Sony fanboy who crapped all over the Portal LOL

just one it seems

but still, never expected that

[tropic vapor]

especially in this day and age when you can crossplay with any console or even PC on most games so console choice matters less than it ever has

[fading spade]

Sony Pony :')

it rhymes, simple as that

[tropic vapor]

and both sony and xbox have great offerings, xbox with their gamepass which is practically the king of multiplayer convenience and sony with their insanely awesome singleplayer games

and both are putting out their stuff on PC as well

you really cant go wrong with any platform in these times

even nintendo has some great stuff going for it

[feral ferry]

Console wars are dead

[hardy merlin]

Yeah! Like yuzu and ryujinx

[feral ferry]

There is no war anymore

[tropic vapor]

they are but theres people still fighting them on twitter that think the wars are still happening for some reason

[feral ferry]

Well they are stupid just like the people buying the portal

Xbox is just a cheap PC nowadays for Game Pass

Sony has their own little exclusives that come to PC

Nintendo just does Nintendo

What wars, everyone has their little thing and nobody competes

You will still buy Sony even if consoles are like 2x the price cause of exclusives

People will still not buy Xbox cause Xbox has no exclusies

[tropic vapor]

apparently some of the console "warrers" on twitter that think the war is still going actually for some reason HATE with a burning passion that the platforms they fanboy are embracing PC

[feral ferry]

And PC is Microsoft lol

[hardy merlin]

Spotted in the wild

[feral ferry]

Wtf is a dualsense pad

[quiet vault]

what's that

[pure bear]

their woo immersion feature

[tropic vapor]

doesnt the switch have haptic feedback using the same tech as the dualsense tho

[feral ferry]

I bet Deck has better controls

[feral ferry]

Switch doesn't have haptics

[tropic vapor]

also the deck technically has haptic feedback as well but its used for steaminput

[pure bear]

also "as far as ps5 remote play is concerned"

[hardy merlin]

You can connect DualSense to Deck, and in PS games it will support woo immersion features as well

[novel umbra]

the switch doesn't even have analog triggers

[quiet vault]

the dualsense triggers sound cool

[pure bear]

yeah mate thats the only thing it does

would be extra shit if it couldnt even do that well

[hardy merlin]

Both triggers and vibration are supported on Windows and Linux/SteamOS

[tropic vapor]

the HD rumble uses voice coil rumble tech in the switch controllers as well (the same tech used in the dualsense haptic feedback) its just not as robust as the dualsense's version

[tropic vapor]

fair point

[orchid prism]

https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1726965949826519237

Did someone say Sony?

[novel umbra]

the dualsense has adaptive trigger force

thanks sony

[tropic vapor]

most people who have ps5s turn it off anyways iirc

[hardy merlin]

Which is more annoying than immersive

[novel umbra]

btw if you add fx/vx in front of "twitter" it still embeds

[tropic vapor]

who wants their trigger to fight their inputs

[quiet vault]

sounds cool for racing games

[novel umbra]

most ps5 players don't play warzone

immersion features are a cool thing for most people

[tropic vapor]

and i mean that is why i have a dualsense lying around for the occasional pc game that supports dualsense immersion

[hardy merlin]

It's frustrating especially in racing games
It's nothing like force feedback

[quiet vault]

can u adjust it to be realistic

[tropic vapor]

i think you can change their intensity in the ps5 settings

unsure about on pc though

[hardy merlin]

Yes, you can, it's not about adjustment, it's about that they're working quite differently

And you'd rather want FF on steering stick than on triggers tbh

[quiet vault]

do they not act like a stronger spring

[hardy merlin]

No, it just blocks trigger to a certain point, and you have to fight with it if you want to press it further
I'd wish it was something like linear force increase aka if you want to push deeper you have to push harder
But it's just one point block

[quiet vault]

mhh

[tropic vapor]

why dont they use that to let people have dualsense edge style hair triggers on the normal controller

[hardy merlin]

Oh, that'd be so nice
Technically it is possible right now, they'd have to dynamically change blocking point depending on current trigger position
But why they aren't doing it I have no idea

[tropic vapor]

why arent they doing it? thats a simple answer

https://tenor.com/view/hello-money-giveittome-mr-krabs-spongebob-gif-4184913

im just saying it could be a thing if they werent motivated to sell people dualsense edge controllers

the profiles could easily be added to normal dualsense controllers as well if they really wanted to, just bind it to PS+triangle/square/circle/cross if the controller is connected to a ps5

guide button chords are a thing steam has had them for a long while

tbh though im baffled why guide chords arent more standard

PS+triangle or Guide+Y to turn off a controller is super nice instead of having to dig into menus

[small comet]

do they need to be as big though?

joycons weigh almost nothing

[hardy merlin]

In what Ultimate Edition is different than CP2077 + PL bundle?

You can even see on the top it says "Digital Download"

[drifting rose]

I can believe it

[tropic vapor]

wait they already slashed the price of alan wake 2?

[fringe salmon]

No it's true that there are clauses that both MS and Sony do for certain games to make sure prices are the same or withing a certain range

[drifting rose]

does the contract apply to selling the game themselves, if the store epic is the same busines entity?

[fringe salmon]

It's a per game basis so AW2 likely just had a different contract

so the sony price is higher because in this case they could do it and they decided so because of the cut to sony

remedy is getting more money for each 50$ copy on epic than a 60$ copy on PS5

and that is ignoring any potential special deal from having epic be the publisher

that is quite a nice ost

[solar lily]

Speaking with PressFire, Thomas Iversen, a senior legal advisor at the Consumer Council argued that Nintendo shouldn’t be able to make new rules because they weren’t presented when players first bought Smash Ultimate.
very interesting law

He presented other issues with the terms as well, such as Nintendo not allowing any modifications to games.

Nintendo notably lost the case [Nintendo v. Galoob, Game Genie] and it set a new precedent for game modification. “One would think that this issue was resolved then, as long as the use does not conflict with copyright,” Iversen said.

Finally, the legal advisor blasted Nintendo’s rules banning custom controllers from Smash Ultimate competitions, saying that he has “no respect for such a restriction.”

Iversen says the rules prevent people with physical challenges from playing and hurts competition at the same time.

I loved the ranking system

Well I hope the remake holds up

Valve's distribution has some room for improvement

Hey guys, I have a question. I'm playing Valorant. Is it better to disable full screen optimization? Can I get more FPS or input lag?

[feral ferry]

There shouldn't really be any difference

https://steamcommunity.com/app/32470/discussions/0/1474221865188261871/

Huh

It’s been a while, but we have been working behind the scenes to update Star Wars: Empire at War™ and Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption to 64-Bit!

Okay I LOVE Petroglyph

[vale herald]

So is it recommended to turn it on or off? But if you don’t turn it off, the game will not actually occupy the full screen. In theory, the latency or performance will be lower, right?

[feral ferry]

What an amazing studio

Ex-Westwood Studios, CnC 1 devs

[hardy merlin]

I'd try asking on some Valorant focused Discord

[vale herald]

Thank you, because there are two opinions on reddit, and I want to know the advice from players who really understand and study it. I have tried turning it on and off, but why do I feel that turning off full-screen optimization is smoother? Is it just my inner feelings? I don’t know either, my PC configuration is: i7-13700kf, 4070Ti, 32G DDR4 3600Hz

[feral ferry]

You are asking in the wrong place

It's really a per-game thing, mostly you leave them on, for some games that are borked you leave them off

right now what is the number 1 competitive FPS GAME?

By far the best FPS game

Insane graphics, tactical gameplay, so many guns

must play in 2023

Better than Overwatch or Valolrant

That's quite low standards you've set here to beat

Roblox > anything on steam

Roblox is also a dating simulator so instead of being a virgin gamer you might find yourself some gamerussy

[fading spade]

Which one?
OG or Sandstorm?
Imo sandstorm sucks :/

I don't like sandstorm cause of the way it feels compared to the original

It's a lot less responsive imo to move and jump and the gunplay is worse

https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/exclusive-call-of-duty-2024-is-indeed-black-ops-set-during-the-gulf-war-in-the-early-90s

So they are remastering/remaking this shite

Black Ops was a horribly bad game after MW3

[quiet vault]

15min waiting time for xbox cloud 🤔

[nimble current]

[severe compass]

tbh isn't it a better idea to remake bad games so you can make something far superior? Like if you remake something good everyone's gonna compare it (see every Disney live action remake minus maybe Junglebook), but if you remake something bad then it's way easier to get a favourable comparison

[feral ferry]

Well you see... you are implying that the development team is competent enough to actually make it better

And activision is not competent to make anything good

[severe compass]

I have not kept up with CoD at all, how bad has it gotten?

[feral ferry]

Pretty horrid

[tropic vapor]

MWIII got a 4 on IGN
ON FLIPPIN IGN

a 4 from ign is like a 1 from an actual review

[severe compass]

How?

[feral ferry]

It's an uninspired, unfinished, lacking in any sort of redeeming qualities, mess

[tropic vapor]

MWIII is not to be confused with the OG MW3

[feral ferry]

OG MW3 is just fine

The new one is shite

[severe compass]

Like how could you fuckup that badly? Did they just forget to ship the campaign?

[tropic vapor]

yes ik i just wanna make sure people arent mistaking me for saying the OG MW3 was bad cause from what i hear the og one was great

[nimble current]

most of the lumberyard assets are likely abandoned at this point

like the engine itself is

[tropic vapor]

yk speaking of your username i actually found out i really like heavier linear switches from using the wooting

makes sense though cause i type really heavily

[nimble current]

linears need some extra feedback

[tropic vapor]

also wait star citizen is swapping engines again? how many times has this happened

[nimble current]

no, they've called it starengine internally for years

[tropic vapor]

oh i see

[nimble current]

because they've tacked on so much new stuff

[tropic vapor]

still odd how the games still practically unfinished

[nimble current]

the first 15 minutes of that video exists and is playable right now

but there's a lot left

[tropic vapor]

well yeah i get theres still stuff that is finished but according to what they promised / want to add the game is kinda incomplete

[severe compass]

I have not looked into Star Citizen at all, but with how long it's been going on and how many crowdfunding ventures they've done and pregame DLC, I can't help but conclude it's a bit of scam isn't it?

[tropic vapor]

thats kinda my conclusion too tbh

[nimble current]

whatever it is, nobody else has anything approximating this kind of engine tech

[drifting rose]

chris roberts has a long history of going over budget and feature creep, I think he is in his element here

[severe compass]

Well that still downgrades it from a scam, to a 95% chance of disaster and the game never being released leaving all those who paid for it (sometimes even tens of thousands if I recall) up shit creek

[drifting rose]

I looked, CR was only the executive producer on starlancer

[severe compass]

I played a little bit of Elite Dangerous, turning off the 'flight assist' it got a lot harder to control (however despite enabling realistic space physics you would still have a speed limit), but perhaps with more practice I would've gotten the hang of it. But I got bored with the game and never mastered it.

[orchid prism]

Elite was fun... until the realisation of being a powerless pawn hit 😄

[drifting rose]

I looked at gameplay stuff on star citizen on youtube, and there are quite a few people playing and enjoying it, so why couldn't it both be CR indulging on his worst impulses while also making a lot of money in questionable ways?

[feral ferry]

Well actually, technically you can

Fly straight through it lol

In a way Starfield is actually superior to star citizen

Space is actually fully sized lol

The 100 or whatever systems are actually freely flyable to one another without FTL

Takes a fuckin long time though without mods

Eventually someone will mod in actual landing I bet

ahh yes, cutscenefield

I used to have a vr headset and I played quite a bit of superhot ngl

[potent karma]

mhm my friend played superhot vr and said it was epic

[south elm]

It is

It was probably my most played vr game after beat saber and the star wars game

I also platinumed spiderman when I had my playstation is probably my favourite game ngl

[potent karma]

mhm, i've been playing pc cuz i dont like controller, and i like the game

i beat the story but im kinda procrastinating doing all the other stuff cuz most of it i dont wanna do lmao

[south elm]

That is literally what I did

[potent karma]

lmao

[south elm]

But then one random night i felt like starting to go through everything

And I just did

Ive also played way too much minecraft in my life 😭

idk midair had some success

but icba to do whatever I had to do to access it

forgot what it was

[fossil solar]

it’s 64km^2

I do enjoy ship building in starfield

I also wish they ships were faster sub-light

The fastest ship tops out at 180m/s w/o skill points

180m/s is slow in atmosphere

They should’ve made the top speed way higher and just adjusted the acceleration/impulse to balance out the different classes

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XV03-wQxjA

How did I miss this? Huge benefit. No more need for glitch chips or random timing guessing.

Ah... too good to be true. Needs 7 additional pins to flash once.

[small comet]

i am glad i got a jtag

also for the flashing you can probably get pogo adapters and strap em on with rubber bands

[orchid prism]

Hmm yeah maybe.

My dream for many years was a JTAG Xbox

Part of me wants to fulfill said dream as an adult but it would just be a waste of money.
