70$ games now just suddenly a standard thing

130$ back in the day was the physical collector's edition pricing for a lot of games

This, btw, was 150$

And that is a SICK collector's, that statue was insanely good quality, map is incredible, good book as well

In 2024 you don't get anything physical anymore for 130$ lol

[pure bear]

its ubisoft

but yeah the way they just slap the 70$ price on and then have a season pass and shit

disgusting

will run bad anyway

[hardy merlin]

You can buy some random shitcoin for that $70 and you'll still be better off

[grizzled quarry]

This has been standard for most games for a while

(triple A titles at least)

As a Canadian I've been paying 90-100$ for games for a long time

[feral ferry]

Ah, Canadian, opinion invalid

Sorry, just a canuck thing

[hardy merlin]

$70 is more or less 280zł, which is what games cost around here
Except for Bethesda, which is delusional, and sells Starfield for 350zł, $90 more or less
Heck, I can buy pretty good $40 indie instead of Starfield's upgrade to Premium edition

[feral ferry]

I'm seeing a lot of starfields rn on Allegro for 160ish kurwarubles

[hardy merlin]

Cheapest key is still 220zł on Allegro
I could buy so many good games on GOG for that price...

Ah, wait, I did

[feral ferry]

That doesn't sound right?

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah our currency is shite

[feral ferry]

Canada is pretty shite

[hardy merlin]

That is Steam account with game, not a key

[feral ferry]

It said key though

No VPN means it's not some weird region lock

[hardy merlin]

Gift Steam, but only for the new account, so... just an account with the game
Quite usual on Allegro

[feral ferry]

This one though is 100% a key https://allegro.pl/oferta/starfield-klucz-steam-bez-vpn-15085792492

"I have a key"

Like, 200 pln, a bit more, but not 240 or 220

[feral ferry]

They are quite usual on ebay too

[hardy merlin]

200zł is believable
Because right now it's around 170zł from key resellers, and even one for 167zł from official distribution from Fanatical

[feral ferry]

Sounds fair

170 is like 43 euros or so

That game is in shambles innit

[orchid prism]

Ubisoft in shambles.

[hardy merlin]

Another AAAA game incoming

[small comet]

ubisoft? more like ubrittle

[feral ferry]

Ubihard makes more sense

[honest marsh]

Ubishit

[feral ferry]

I wonder how much that AAAA game sold

[trim rock]

At least 4

[feral ferry]

I can comfortably say it's prolly at least 5

[honest marsh]

That's what I call risk taking

[feral ferry]

Insurance companies won't like that

[vapid lintel]

Hmmmm insurance derivatives to protect against the downside risk of your AAAA game flopping... I wonder if you could get an insurance company to price that 😂

[orchid prism]

It works the opposite of credit ratings. Additional risk for every added letter.

[grizzled bramble]

No Steam release apparently for Star Wars Outlaws, currently only on EGS & Ubisoft

[feral ferry]

Nothing of value was lost

[lucid brook]

134,44€ for a game

🧠💥

[feral ferry]

That's digital btw

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah

[feral ferry]

Again, in 2011, 150$ would buy you a beautiful PHYSICAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION

Insane how much worse gaming has become

[lucid brook]

Yep

[proper basin]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-money-spongebob-gif-8454828

[lucid brook]

I bought this fancy computer so I can play these new games, yet I just play the same old games I've been playing for years

[fringe salmon]

And pleasant is confused why people are okay with the Helldivers premium passes

[feral ferry]

Playing Destiny 2 for years must have fried their brain

[lucid brook]

Bought the game when it came out, played 20 hours, never touched it again

[proper basin]

I thankfully retained my brain

[lucid brook]

The game is beyond boring after you unlock your first decent gun and stratagems

[feral ferry]

That's the thing with HD2 that I don't get, how's it really fun

It's the same content over and over again

[proper basin]

Only thing that makes it fun for me is playing with friends

Like most new releases

[trim rock]

Because it's funny to kill your friends or something

[feral ferry]

Hm

Will it actually not suck eh

[hot spire]

I mean I get it for multiplayer games that add content. As long as the base game has enough value already

[honest marsh]

Don't forget inflation, but I know it's not worth this big of a difference but still needs to be taken into account, back in the days 60€ games are now 80€, seems to be Standart now

[honest marsh]

Have you watched the last of us?

[feral ferry]

No and I don't care for it at all

[honest marsh]

I did without playing the game and it's great, I don't care if it destroys the game, the story as a watcher is great in my opinion

[honest marsh]

It's a great show, should try it maybe

[feral ferry]

What destroys the game

[honest marsh]

The show

Story etc

[feral ferry]

I have no clue what storyline the show adapts

Is it TLoU1?

Or an original one

[proper basin]

LoU 1

[feral ferry]

Eh

Maybe it's cause I watched a playthrough of the game many years before playing it, TLoU1 for me wasn't as amazing as people said it was

Again, I somewhat knew the story, and it was just a good game, but I guess the fact it wasn't a first impression made the story just very normal

I am not ever touching TLoU2 lel

From my perspective, it's a mid franchise with too much hype

It is a fairly comfortable device to stream from but yeah im convinced thats what most people do

Locally most heavier games dont run amazingly well

Like

Why play at a low res and low details at 30fps if your pc happens to be on anyways and you can get 60fps nice visuals

[bleak pike]

Mhmm

[maiden tulip]

I wish the steam deck handled offline gaming better

There's always some update or some shader precachinng that ends up not being done

Then you're shit outta luck

[severe compass]

I know nothing about shader precaching, but you think that could be included with the download? If Valve just packaged the needed files with every download a Steamdeck does it might make for a better user experience ?

[hardy merlin]

It is
Steam loads shader cache everytime you launch a game and it takes several seconds at most
The thing that downloads everytime you launch your Deck is just fresh shader cache

The only hurdle I have with offline mode is that Steam can hang during launch, desperately looking for networks
Other than that it works great

[bleak pike]

i did not expect them to monetize the lego mode like this

[proper basin]

Yeah the lego mode fell off pretty hard

Festival is honestly the best side mode

Does this actually unlock blocks, or just provide you with a premade building for real money?

[fading spade]

Now there is a person bragging about how PlayStation 5 can play PS1 games at 120Hz
As if that's somehow impressive and makes PS5 better than Xbox

In another discord server I'm in xf

[hardy merlin]

I'm pretty sure Deck can emulate PSX games at more than 120 fps too

[orchid prism]

Well... no.

[fringe salmon]

Idk if the deck can emulate it better since it’s a bit lower on hardware specs

And iirc the PS can emulate almost all games aside from a handful whereas on xbox it took them a while to make a list and they have a decent amount that doesn’t work if I’m not mistaken

[hardy merlin]

Better than PS5 probably not
But we got PSX emulation figured out long ago, and at this point I'm pretty sure even toaster would churn out 120fps

[hardy merlin]

Member when Sony essentially stuffed a PS2 inside of PS3 Fat to make it backwards compatible
Good times

[fading spade]

PS3 fat

[fringe salmon]

this is the bigger part imo

in comparison there are less than 10 ps4 games that dont run on ps5

so idk what the exact argument was, but yes it does appear that in terms of backwards compatibility sony is better?

[hardy merlin]

It sure is
Despite the fact that from technological point of view it should be easier to do on Xboxes

[fading spade]

No
The argument was that the current Xbox cannot play Xbox OG games at 120Hz

Unlike the PS5 playing PS1 games

[hardy merlin]

Xbox OG was alongside PS2, and I'm pretty sure PS5 can't emulate PS2 in 120Hz either

[fading spade]

Can it not??

[fringe salmon]

I mean if you play the older games that is something I would view as something better then?

out of the 63 og xbox games that can be run only 2 have fps boost as an option in the wiki table so yeah

[fading spade]

Isn't the Xbox Series X technically more powerful than PS5?
I forgot the specs for each

[hardy merlin]

On paper
Still, software matters, and I'd wager PS5 runs games better than XSX

[fringe salmon]

on paper yes, but they also run things differently and ps5 has extra hardware specifically for running older consoles games

which is why it can run like all but 9 ps4 games

[fading spade]

Aha

[hardy merlin]

I hope PS5 be easily CFWable soon
But with Sony releasing games on PCs now...

[fringe salmon]

So back to this point, given the xbox can not do it, it does make it better?

idk if I'd brag about it since a pc can just do any of those much better

but it is in fact something better on PS

[rancid hearth]

all they're doing is just comparing apples and oranges

[still spire]

Damn the HD2 update is wild

Quite a lot added

And flamethrowers got buffed again

They are so powerful now I am confused, they keep nerfing other weapons and buffing the flamethrower, which already had a high pick rate lol

Yeah maybe I'll finally ply V-Rising, I owned it since launch but didn't have anyone to really play it with

It's a EA Builder survivor game coming out of early access, a damn miracle

[orchid prism]

It's been fun so far.

[still spire]

Yeah I mean I tried it out, just glad it's actually hitting release lol

[fallow bronze]

flamethrower is fun? maybe thats why?

[still spire]

Yeah but they nerf all the other fun weapons into the ground and flamethrower has gotten like 4 buffs since launch to the point it's absurdly powerful

Damn that Vrising webpage is laggy for me

[orchid prism]

It's almost as if they just posted the blog, and everyone is lagging the site out reading

[still spire]

I meant like performance wise or something, might be because I got HW accel turned off

Here's hoping it gets like half it's playerbase back for launch or so

[feral ferry]

Looked like a one week wonder and not a great one

Idk the setting of it is a bit weird

[deft bloom]

we love ubisoft here

[proper basin]

I can only hope rayman gets a new game

[signal halo]

I just wish they would stop nerfing all the guns I like. I was running the Breaker shotgun until they nerfed it by 3 rounds per (already small) magazine. 13 rounds just isn't enough, even if it is 330 dmg per shot. 16 rounds should have been buffed to 17 or 18, and they did the opposite. The only problem is the Breaker SpraynPray isn't a good substitute, and none of the other weapons are as good as even a nerfed Breaker.

[digital dawn]

as a rayman 3 enjoyer, I agree

They were waiting for the show!

Next gen patch is here

It's literally just Skyrim Anniversary Edition but for Fallout 4

[orchid prism]

No interest in the show. Apparently they retconned New Vegas.

[feral ferry]

There's a major debate whether they did or they not

[orchid prism]

(Also more importantly my tolerance for one season cancelled shows has been used up for 2024)

[feral ferry]

Well this is a multi-season one

[orchid prism]

They all say that.

[feral ferry]

Supposedly next season will be in New Vegas

[feral ferry]

I mean, from what I heard they already paid for the new season

But anyways, the big debate is: why is New Vegas in ruins, and how is Shady Sands annihilated 5-6 years before it should have, as established by FONV

[orchid prism]

They also all say that until the end of the season and they tally up numbers.
But I'll take a look once the entire season is available - I also have no tolerance of "episode of the week"

This isn't flow TV. Give me the whole season all at once, or don't bother me till it's available 😄

[feral ferry]

So peeps have an issue that if Shady Sands was to fall in 2277, how come not a single NPC including NCR soldiers ever talked about it lol

And that nukes would hit canonically Shady Sands in 228..3 I think

[orchid prism]

If Shady Sands fall. Surely no California Republic? And thus major retcon?

[feral ferry]

There's the argument that Shady Sands fell twice

[orchid prism]

Or am I bad at Fallout "lore"

[feral ferry]

NCR has more than a single city

[orchid prism]

Yeah but Shady Sands was the capital, where the faction begun and ruled from?

Care of Fallout 2 epilogue

[feral ferry]

Indeed it was the capital

Meh, it's a weird continuity they are doing

[orchid prism]

Script writers will script write. But if the capital of the NCR fell, that seems like a pretty big "yeah so no NCR like we know it, the US reborn if you will"

[loud sparrow]

When playing GTA with Racing profile (controller simulation), when driving I cant look around with a mouse as freely and its possible on a normal keyboard & mouse, because the camera constantly tries to look forward. If anyone understands what Im talking about, is there a workaround for this?

[bleak pike]

Fallout has lore?

[bleak pike]

Being free is a surprise.

[bleak pike]

Weren't two seasons ordered?

"We are also releasing a free Fallout 4 update for PC players! Experience Fallout 4 on your next-generation PC with widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, as well as fixes to Creation Kit and a variety of quest updates."

[feral ferry]

No shit it does

[orchid prism]

To quote myself literally one response later.

[bleak pike]

Why does this make me laugh so much

[feral ferry]

I was gonna say how on earth is it being free a surprise, but then I remembered Anniversary Edition upgrade for Skyrim was like 15$ which was lol

[bleak pike]

The first gen looked like it was from 2005

[bleak pike]

TBF its MS now

F4 was genuinely one of the ugliest games released at that time, maybe the next gen update will make it tolerable.

[feral ferry]

It.. really wasn't that ugly?

With F4 I just didn't like the direction they took

Boston's cool and all, but I would prefer something more open and less populated

Chicago would be insanely cool cause Enclave are supposed to have one of their last strongholds there, but also do the surrounding area just to make it feel like a big world and not just urban and suburban areas, some wilderness too

[bleak pike]

TIL vaults are connected.

[feral ferry]

Wdym connected

[bleak pike]

I always thought they were far apart

But it looks like they are connected via tunnels and checkpoints?

[orchid prism]

They're not

[feral ferry]

They are not afaik

They never were in any of the games

[bleak pike]

Then what are they doing in ep1

[orchid prism]

Each one is a separate experiment of some kind. They don't have some kind of expansive sewer connection or anything.

[bleak pike]

When trading.

So this is a TV change?

[orchid prism]

They do a bit of retcon.

[bleak pike]

Kinda makes sense.

Tbh

[orchid prism]

Connecting them? No, not at all.

[fringe salmon]

Connect them and one vault having issues means they are all dead, defeating the purpose of having multiple fail safes no?

[bleak pike]

Trade between bunkers kinda makes sense I mean.

[orchid prism]

Now you're talking POST-WAR

Not "as designed by vault co"

[bleak pike]

Each vault can't just enter each others.

From what I'm seeing and they are cautious/rare when meeting.

The vault door still exists like the game.

[orchid prism]

The vaults were never about survival - They were experiments, each one.
There is no basis for digging tunnels between them during construction.

If such a tunnel exists, that is done post-war by the vault - and is the first mention of this ever to my knowledge.

[bleak pike]

Ok nvm the TV shows why it's a bad idea

As im watching

I'll shut up. Lol

[oblique ore]

Does anyone know if wooting double movement is banable in Fortnite?

[feral ferry]

Last I remember, it's not

[oblique ore]

I haven’t tried it yet but I use the in game double movement, but wooting looks better in some ways so I want to try it out.

Just don’t want to get banned if it’s banable lol.

[digital dawn]

no

[oblique ore]

I just asked epic games support and they said they can’t tell me 😢

[digital dawn]

wooting double movement is deprecated and isnt really recommended now that its effectively built into the game

I havent used it myself but I've heard that it can be buggier compared to the bulit in alternative

[oblique ore]

Oh I see.

[lost skiff]

Hey

They certainly have the money now to ensure a sequel is CDPR levels of polish.

[feral ferry]

Anomaly DLC for Rimworld has been released

[feral ferry]

CDPR levels of polish
I don't know which polish you meant, but don't sully my boy like that

[orchid prism]

Witcher 3.

[feral ferry]

It deserves better than to be equated to CDPR

[orchid prism]

KCD has always been Eurojank. It needs more polish.

[feral ferry]

It's beautifully czech, keep your polish

Kurwa mač

[orchid prism]

polish not Polish.

[feral ferry]

It's beautifully not both

A higher standard

CDPR's "polish quality" led us to the 2077 launch fiasco

[orchid prism]

It also led to Witcher 3

[fringe salmon]

which is about the same as witcher 3 launch quality was

both started shit

w3 is mostly fine now, cp77 less so but better by now

[orchid prism]

2077 mostly suffers only not getting the same content as W3 got post-launch.

[fringe salmon]

and having still more bugs

[feral ferry]

Anyways, Imma sleep in absolutely bliss tonight with these wonderful news of KCD2 reveal on my birthday

Shelves are ancient.

[vapid lintel]

I always liked this game far more than Rimworld

Just cause of 3D and height aspect

But these.. builder sandboxes in a sense? Are incredibly boring since nothing ever really happens

There's no real point in progression, and encounters are always the same

[vapid lintel]

I don't agree with you at all, but I think we have a very different definition of progress

[feral ferry]

I suppose so

[small comet]

progression is when you spend 2000usd in a gacha game and get nothing of worth

[feral ferry]

Always perplexes me that people like SovietWomble are constantly streaming Rimworld as if it's entertaining

Or Kerbal Space Program for that matter lol

[vapid lintel]

I've seen what passes for entertainment these days, I'd rather watch Rimworld streamers

[orchid prism]

But... it is.

Womble is 99% personality.

You could watch that man fish, and it'd be entertaining.

[feral ferry]

See the difference is

[vapid lintel]

His pirate run was pretty fantastic

I actually enjoyed him fishing

Rimworld just constantly bores me

This is my favorite though, learn so much

It's funni

as much as I enjoyed my time with FO3 bethesdas FO lore is dogshit through and through

[feral ferry]

I can't say I agree

Bethesda still can do great background stories and lore building

They just suck at main quest storylines

[fallow bronze]

Depriving actual games of the title

[fringe salmon]

gameplay I can at least see arguments for

but technical achievement? when it achieves less than other games?

[feral ferry]

It's steam awards, nobody takes them seriously

[nimble current]

lets have a new fallout set on the literal opposite end of the US but we still gonna have radscorpions and brotherhood of steel there because that's what the og game did, who cares if it makes no sense to see fuckin scorpions in the boston area

[feral ferry]

As they very well shouldn't really

it just reeks of laziness

glad to see bethesdas lazy hubris get told its place with starfield

I mean it's still something someone had to nominate even if steam awards dont matter much

[feral ferry]

And they nominated the worst game of the year for the title

Gamers are memers

Nonono, this is BAFTA

There are too many awards ceremonies anyways

For games award ceremonies are getting less and less relevant with the corporate sellout

[trim rock]

Nice

[small comet]

and the mods of r/gaming dont know their own rules i guess

apparently discussion about another subs moderation or other subs in general is considered a gaming relate or generic meme template

[fringe salmon]

or they were just asleep as the post is removed

[small comet]

i mean they literally wrote Per Rule 1, posts about moderation of other subreddits are not permitted here. This is a long-standing policy. while rule 1 is ```All post must be ENTIRELY gaming related, adding a title or caption to force a connection is not allowed.

Non-gaming meme templates are not allowed. Both the full base image AND caption must be gaming-related.```

and id say it is gaming related

either way ubisoft will prob be paying out the butt for this given that this is prob illegal in the EU

[barren pewter]

BoS built airships to go east, and they did, and we know of at least two chapters that did
One crashed near Chicago, and the other landed in DC

Radscorpions in Capital Wasteland and Commonwealth, I assumed the radscorpions might have emerged from someone’s pet scorpion

[feral ferry]

Chicago would be a very very good setting

Stranded BoS chapter, that I think went AWOL

[barren pewter]

The entire Midwest of the US is the setting for Fallout Tactics

They are basically Outcasts

One of the very few remaining Enclave chapters

[barren pewter]

Not really

It did

It cut off communications from its chapter

Just the fact you can add ghouls and mutants to your squad, and the game indicates such is a taboo to most BoS chapters

Dear John.

It's not so fucking easy when DLC in many cases are part of the core game, and expected to be bought to continue playing games (this rings particularly true for CoD and similar games)

Eh

FF is very hit or miss

I love 8 and 10 a lot myself. Never really played 1-6. 7 is vastly overrated. 9 as well. 11 is a great MMORPG, or was, but it's time is long pased. 12 was donkey balls. 13 has a lot of great ideas but iis spread thin.

[fringe salmon]

7 is the worst FF not because of the game but because of the people it made who think anything else is hot garbage

[forest thicket]

based

[drifting rose]

I never got past the massive railroading of ff7

[orchid prism]

A lot of the later FFs are... not great.

8 and 12 spring to mind immediately 😄

[narrow junco]

i'm more of a dragon quest guy myself

[still spire]

FF7 was just so hyped beyond belief it's nuts and when I finally played it, I did certainly enjoy it, but I still think 8 is the better game.

[drifting rose]

ff6 is based for the tragic story, well told for a JRPG

[still spire]

Yeah, I hear a lot of good about 5&6, waiting for the pixel remasters to be on a decent sale.

[orchid prism]

6 was amazing. Definitely the peak of 2D JRPG for me.

[still spire]

like 50% or more

Bundle is often on sale for 60$ on GMG, but I feel for like...40 year old games, that's still a lot.

[drifting rose]

5 is pretty good too, although the main gameplay loop is epic amounts of grind. dunno how many hundreds of hours I clocked into the ps1 port, and still hadn't finished it

[still spire]

30*

[drifting rose]

yeah that's fucked

[still spire]

As for the pixel remasters, you can skip a lot of grinding with sped up gameplay or increased XP rates.

[fringe salmon]

god damn it mansen first time I get an ad on twitch since years after telling you I had no issues

at least one refresh removed it

[still spire]

Honestly old 2D RPGs whe nI replay them on emulators, I'd often play at 10-20x speed when grinding lol

Ain't nobody got the time for that.

also, no official translation of ff5 is nearly as good as the one RPGe made

[still spire]

But is that accurate?:P

[drifting rose]

is that important? not to me

[still spire]

It is to me

I don't mean it has to be a super literal translation or anything, but if it changes characters personalities to what the localizer thinks is "more fun", then it amounts to nothing more than fanfiction tier at that point.

[drifting rose]

I can't verify the accuracy of either translation, I don't speak nipponese. but I can tell you that the official translations are dull compared to the romhack. would you enjoy the romhack more if I told you it's accurate? could you verify it without google?

for what it's worth, this is what the translator whose work would be used for the romhack had to say about his work

Oh hell yes

They showed on the livestream

IT's getting DLSS Support

Ever since launch, over 10 years now, it's had terrible aliasing with only FXAA

Jaggies galore, like it's absurd

And now, DLSS, which means DLAA.

FSR is coming as well - weirdly FSR 1.0

DLSS alone is gonna make the game look gigantically better due to the dithering and aliasing issue.

[feral ferry]

DLSS does not automatically mean DLAA

They are separate technologies afaik

[still spire]

It does these days Vex, you living under a rock or something?

You can use DLSSTweaks or SpecialK to force DLAA.

In any game with DLSS

[feral ferry]

That is news to me

[still spire]

Yeah works great, you can even select the DLSS Preset you want to use, but generally the best is the default

[feral ferry]

Are you confusing DLAA with DSR?

I went to look it up, DLAA has a completely separate SDK to DLSS and should not come with a game that just has DLSS

[still spire]

I am not

[feral ferry]

Ah I see, it's an injector tool

[still spire]

Yeah, DLSSTweaks is popular, but SpecialK can be used to tweak it as well.

The game literally doesn't support it, but the tool forces the code into it I suppose via common API paths that DLSS shares with DLAA

Clever solution

[feral ferry]

Also

Does FFXIV have an anticheat?

Injectors of any kind will usually get flagged by an anticheat as simple as EAC and rejected during runtime

I don't doubt that method works for singleplayer games, I'd think twice about doing it to multiplayer games and getting banned

[orchid prism]

Not REALLY?

I mean you've got that post processing addon everyone uses for games to get HDR and whatnot.

[feral ferry]

Considering I tried reshading Rainbow 6 Siege and EAC flagged the DLLs for Reshade and wouldn't allow me to launch the game

[orchid prism]

Reshade, that's the one.

[feral ferry]

For some games it doesn't work

EAC flagged reshade

[orchid prism]

But uh... don't tell anyone you have these, cause it's technically bannable.

[feral ferry]

Yeah in siege reshade is 100% bannable, cause you can tweak the game to remove certain obscurities

[fringe salmon]

If they added EAC or similar the playerbase would riot so hard

[feral ferry]

Or make certain things far more easier to see

Ah so it doesn't use any anticheat?

[fringe salmon]

It’s not a competitive pvp game lol

[feral ferry]

Then an injector would work

[still spire]

SpecialK is safe, used it for years so I could have proper borderless flip

Before SpecialK, I never understood why Borderless windowed was so awful in some games and just fine in others.

By default, FFXIV has FSE, or Borderless Windowed, which is using Copy with GDI. Which makes it look ass.

W11 now has the mode to promote games to Flip, so it should be taken care of

The creator of OG Fallout, on Fallout TV show

[bleak pike]

CBA to watch

What did he say.

[feral ferry]

You also could just cba to write anything

He's positive towards the show

Just talking about the show and peeps he met

[bleak pike]

Nice.

I was surprised tbh, the trailers made it look pretty rough....

It's definitely not perfect though.

[drifting rose]

I've been thinking about playing Factorio again, what mods could make the game interesting past 1st playthrough?

[feral ferry]

Play Satisfactory instead

It was pretty cool when they shot up vault 101.

tipping brainrot yea

[ripe owl]

Consider tipping me for playing your (very likely under-developed, trash ass) game then lol

The state of AAA games right now is so fucking sad that only even thinking about tipping for some of them makes me dizzy

[drifting rose]

it's like an elephant that's getting a bit demented in its old age, and starts eating its caretakers

[orchid prism]

Yeah because paying real money for literal gambling lootboxes sure wasn't enough of a tip.

[feral ferry]

If "tip the devs money" would replace lootboxes and monetization, as well as put games back to 60$, that's completely fine

[hot spire]

Show is great but they definitely fucked around too much with the overall story of the games too much. They are now stuck with either the show or NV not being canon moving forward

Which is inline with Todd hating NV

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Mm89J8-zs
A silly video for your weekend consideration.

[feral ferry]

They didn't fuck with the story too much ionstorm

[orchid prism]

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[hot spire]

100% they totally did

[feral ferry]

Well, what did you not like

Specifics?

[still spire]

Todd hads NV because it was so much better than his own

[hot spire]

||shady sands was nuked while the first battle of hoover dam happened.||

||how would the NCR ever continue a war in Vegas during NV after their capital was nuked||

No idea how the two can be compatible

[feral ferry]

Shady Sands was defo not nuked while first battle of hoover dam was happening

It fell in 2277, supposedly, and was nuked later, prolly during events of Lonesome Road

Now the part where why none of the NPCs in FONV are acknowledging that their capital fell, is questionable, but they wrote it that way

[hot spire]

The first battle of the hover dam was in 2277

[feral ferry]

Indeed it was

FONV is in 2281-2282

[hot spire]

So how did the NCR rely on supply lines from Cali maintain a fight force in Vegas for 5 years while also rebuilding their entire capital

[bleak pike]

Probably because it was a good game.

Todd doesn't like good games.

[feral ferry]

NCR has more than a single town

Just shady sands falling isn't enough to cripple NCR

[hot spire]

All the supplies from Vegas NCR came on foot from cali

Yes but there's no way they could continue supplying a massive forward force in another state via foot traffic while also rebuilding entire capital and everything

[drifting rose]

best fallout game since the isometric ones and it gets shafted, figures

[hot spire]

Also there are multiple commutations that came from shady Sands in NV after 2077

[feral ferry]

I mean yeah, that's exactly why in FONV NCR is really struggling

They are really badly overextended in 2077

By 2282 it's a lot worse

NCR was in a downfall spiral anyways, even if they take Hoover, little chance it's not splintering off

NCR Rangers aren't even technically part of NCR, it's its own client state

[hot spire]

No it's not they merged

[feral ferry]

Ah yeah, it was its own thing until 2271

[hot spire]

There is a monument to that in nv

It's why the NCR is staying at the dam

Protecting the dam is part of the treaty

[feral ferry]

I don't mind the new show timeline, as long as they can modify FONV to actually have people talk about Shady Sands falling

No sense why every single NCR trooper has no dialogue of old capital falling

[hot spire]

And as was by far more than half of ncrs city population

[feral ferry]

They picked a really weird spot for the show tbf, why not 2284 or whatever

[hot spire]

Navarro was a far cry to the size of ss

[feral ferry]

Pretty sure in terms of size, Vault City is the biggest of all

[hot spire]

Redding is the only thing close to a second big city NCR has

Vc is independent

NCR took control of Redding not vc

[glad dust]

Anyone using analog keys for dragons dogma 2?

@hardy merlin does the Deck support AFMF?

Cause the fluid motion frames tech would be pretty dang cool at that low resolution

[hardy merlin]

Currently not, not even FSR3 frame gen
Deck runs mesa 23.1 currently, FSR3 frame gen was added to 24.0

And about AFMF... It will be added some time later? AMD said they'll open source it, but when... I have no idea...
And the fact that it runs only on DX11/12, doesn't work with Vulkan/DXVK for now, so I doubt it's even added to amdgpu-pro driver

[feral ferry]

Ah yeah I'm not going to run the Deck on linux I don't think

I'll install windows on it

But yeah looking into it cause I need a box of sorts for my LGCX cause the thing keeps resetting the homebrew, Deck would be really good for that

[maiden tulip]

[drifting rose]

japan has problems

[maiden tulip]

I dont like hacked mons as well creating a team and working your ass of for it is part if the game but i think this is too far lol

Like if someone wants to use hacked mons in non pvp idgaf

And even in a pvp context arresting someone over this is insane

[orchid prism]

Japanese electronics laws are whack.

[hardy merlin]

If you want a Windows box, then maybe Ally? Should be similar price to Deck nowadays
I think the main selling point of Deck is SteamOS and the whole Steam stuff around it

[feral ferry]

Ally is too expensive

[drifting rose]

next they'll behead someone for spreading false pokemon info on the net

[feral ferry]

And I really don't care for SteamOS or Linux lol

You know me, I hate the tinkering with it

[maiden tulip]

Legion Go > Ally

For windows

[drifting rose]

legion go critically does not have VRR, so low framerate will feel worse on it

[fringe salmon]

when you say ally is too expensive, do you look at lcd steam decks?

because it is almost the same as the cheapest oled

[maiden tulip]

Steam deck doesn't have VRR either and it's fine tbh

[feral ferry]

Anyways I'll assume that Deck with windows supports afmf, it should I think

[drifting rose]

I can't live without it anymore 😭

[feral ferry]

Deck LCD is far cheaper than an OLED, but I'm getting an OLED if I'm buying a Deck

But yeah I guess I'll just have to get it to run Windows or does it even do dual boot?

[maiden tulip]

On my windows desktop yeah but on a handheld its kinda whatever

[fringe salmon]

well if you compare oled deck to rog ally its like what 30€ difference?

[hardy merlin]

You can do dual boot, no problem

[maiden tulip]

Legion go has a really nice display, better than the Ally

• ally has so many QA issues

[feral ferry]

Yeah I'm not getting an Ally or Legion Go

[maiden tulip]

like the sd card reader killing sd cards

[hardy merlin]

Ally here is 1999, Deck OLED 512 is 2599
Granted it's Z1 not Z1 extreme, but still

[feral ferry]

Deck OLED seems good for a TV box and occasional handheld use

If I was forced at gunpoint to buy Ally, it's Z1E only

[maiden tulip]

I wouldn't run windows on steam deck it's just... an awful experience

[hardy merlin]

Overall Windows on handhelds is not great...

[maiden tulip]

But a deck running windows will suck more than native windows handhelds

[feral ferry]

Linux on anything is even worse

[drifting rose]

tbh I wouldn't install linux on a portable that doesn't officially support it either, it's flaky on a lot of laptops, imagine how it is on these newfangled configurations

[maiden tulip]

At least you get proper driver support on the legion go and ally

Where as the steam deck drivers for windows are just a meme

And games run awfully

It's just not good

I remember valve saying they wanted to make windows on the thing run better but idk if they ever got around to it

[hardy merlin]

Nah, it's not my picking on Windows
Just that it's quite different when it comes to PC and handhelds, especially with UI things

[feral ferry]

I can understand that

[maiden tulip]

At least the legion and the ally have their own apps to make the ui friendlier

Compared to the deck

[feral ferry]

I'd much rather deal with windows being clunky than ever touching linux

[maiden tulip]

Deck running windows... basically you're stuck running big picture mode

Thats your only option for a nice ui

And well it won't do anything outside of steam

[drifting rose]

well you're expecting it to do something it was not designed to

[maiden tulip]

And that's why if someone wants to run windows full time they should avoid the steam deck lol

[hardy merlin]

SteamOS is preconfigured from the get-go, I'm really amazed that Valve could pull out "it just works" with it
But I understand, given you will most likely use it outside of gaming mode too

[feral ferry]

Tbf I imagine most of it will be used outside of gaming lel

And even then, I mod nearly everything, no clue how clunky linux is with mods

[maiden tulip]

The fact that nico someone who never used linux in his life and without technical skills was able to use it fairly easily really shows that

Like its not perfect

But it's good

[feral ferry]

Last I checked, linux refused to install apps properly, let alone running community games and mods

[maiden tulip]

The main issues are poopoo software updates breaking stuff

[drifting rose]

rare for linux to not shock a new user into catatonia

[maiden tulip]

But nowadays havent seen issues recently

Like since... december it's been rock solid

Just october to december around the oled release was a bad time to be an lcd owner

XD

[drifting rose]

average linux newb experience

[maiden tulip]

Like i was surprised at how the most troubleshoot i had to help nico with was: make a few non steam games run and rollback borked os updates

I expected to have to help him more honestly

[hardy merlin]

Proton configures everything now, just give it an .exe and it'll work, I don't think I had any problem with it lately to run any games
With mod managers it's hit or miss, SnakeBite, Vortex and NMM work great, but need a bit of playing around to run them in proper prefix
And r2modman does have even native linux version
But if you like to install something outside of Steam or GOG... yeah, you'd have to play around with Lutris

[maiden tulip]

Heroic launcher works well

[hardy merlin]

That's for GOG, yes

[maiden tulip]

Also you can run uplay as a non steam game, same for battle net no need for a third party at all

[drifting rose]

the lutris folx are actually working on something new now, a launcher that makes the exact environment that steam uses to run windows games. I'm moderately hyped

never been big on lutris but this is cool

the proton-ge dude is also working on it

[maiden tulip]

Sometimes you do have to switch proton version for a game or 2 but that info is easy to find in protondb + deckylauncher has a nice plugin that shows proton db ratings in your library

Its really practical as steam's own verification is sometimes... a bit all over the place

The main improvement i wish for the steam deck is more power

And better efficiency

For the next one

Battery life ain't great at least on the LCD i heard the oled is better

And yeah more powerful hardware hopefully amd will release some cool new apus

[hardy merlin]

I only wish configuring steam from CLI would be easier
I'm currently trying to make it work with adding non-steam shortcuts, works great... as long as you don't want to add images to it
Oh, and adding non-steam shortcuts is basically adding an entry to config file... But in binary

But I will pull through and finish it

[hardy merlin]

2h more in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, that's all I needed

[maiden tulip]

At the same time keeping the hardware similar allows for more optimisation

But idk i just feel like it's too weak, especially if you want to output it to an external display

XD

I think it always was a little too weak

[fallow bronze]

It will always stay a little too weak in that fornfactor

[hardy merlin]

I'm amazed it works great with USB-C -> HDMI -> Composite CVBS -> SCART

[maiden tulip]

You running this shit on a crt???

Wtf

Lol

[fallow bronze]

My lcd tv has scart
