#

ok so i downloaded republique on my steam deck
one of my fave, criminally underrated games

#

a definition of a hidden gem

#

and for years i played it the way it was on pc - one outfit, one mode
all playthroughs around 98% completion

#

but then they ported it to consoles and they added this...
console exclusive outfit that unlocks classic survival-horror mode

#

and it was stuck on consoles for ages

#

but now it's here!
and it plays great on the deck!

#

i just mapped mouse to the right trackpad, WASD to the left stick and now im getting the smoothest experience out there...
well - outside of the VR port, maybe

#

such a great game
and it has david-goddamn-hayter @ocean iris

#

and it's (in my opinion) his best role ever

#

god i wanna rant about republique so bad right now

#

anyone here played republique?

#

someone?
anyone?

#

ey?

twin yarrow
#

first time hearing about that

#

is it something RE-like?

fathom juniper
#

OH DUDE buckle tf up

twin yarrow
#

(totally not a provocation)

fathom juniper
#

so it's a mix between a...
survival horror, a point-and-click adventure game, a metroidvania and a stealth game
featuring like... half of the cast from the first metal gear solid PES_Lul

#

it's a game where you play as...
you...
helping this girl get out of this high-security facility by breaking into it's system with a feaking iphone (this started as a mobile game) and watching it all through security cameras

#

and it also has an episodic structure...
which then evolves into a metroidvania with abilities and backtracking

#

it's nuts - even describing the genre this game is in is... a bit of a challenge PES_Lul

twin yarrow
#

does it also feature guns? from the item description above seems like it

fathom juniper
#

as is the case with everything in this game
the answer is kinda

twin yarrow
#

how did i never heard about it

fathom juniper
#

I DON'T KNOW
IT'S SO UNDERRATED

#

it's a definition of a hidden gem

#

it even does cutscenes in a unique way

#

cause you're watching everything through cameras anyway
you can pause any cutscene you want and switch to a different perspective

#

and if they want to do something dynamic - the game forces you to switch to a phone camera and then they do this sort of handheld found footage thing

#

the story is great
it has some of the best voiceacting i've ever heard
and the ost is just FeelsApu

#

it's one of those rare examples where even bugs and performance issues and what not tie in with the story...
freaking somehow PeepoShrug

twin yarrow
#

woah

fathom juniper
#

right!?

twin yarrow
#

"i'll not speak his name again", that whole thing is so freaking relatable here

fathom juniper
#

seriously - play republique
it's so good

twin yarrow
#

alr, you got me here

#

im interested

fathom juniper
#

hang on a sec i gotta find something

twin yarrow
#

it's on mobiles, you say?

fathom juniper
#

play it on pc PES_Lul

other than contemplating life

#

unless they updated that mobile port to unity 5...

#

let me see

#

im downloading it right now cause the first episode is free on mobiles dusa

#

this is - believe it or not - solid-freakin-snake dusa

#

seriously - some of the best voiceacting i've ever heard

clear python
#

republique mentioned

fathom juniper
#

yeah
mobile port still doesn't support PBR
so it looks way, way worse

#

and trust me - some of those vistas are worth the upgrade on pc

clear python
#

ppl have spent millions of hours in pbr-less unity, they‘ll cope!

fathom juniper
#

it's been in my faves ever since episode 5 dropped

#

but every time i mentioned it here people just went PeepoShrug

#

love that game to bits

fathom juniper
clear python
#

That‘s the thing, I only finished the first episode and dabbled in the second in 2017, then tried a revival in 2018 and it always crashed iirc and now i‘ve got a billion other things to do lol

fathom juniper
#

go play it
it's so worth your time

clear python
#

I remember it being kinda slow for my taste, but then again I was absolute ass at playing vidya ‚back then‘

fathom juniper
#

oh yeah it is a very, very slow game

#

it's 30% sneaking and 70% audiologs

#

but then again
it's no slower than pyre or something

fathom juniper
#

man i love the steam deck so much

#

the fact that i can have this technically barely-supported game on it and turn it into the best possible version in under 10 minutes in steam controls is just amazing

#

it looks better than it does on my main pc
and has the best control scheme out of all versions out there

#

this thing is incredible
and next week im gonna put it to the test - i'm gonna get UDB, slade, blender and a bunch of other editing software on it and do some work

#

if it can handle that then windows is dead to me

#

one last year with windows and then im gone

analog wraith
#

Oh it's not on the XBox

fathom juniper
#

oh no

#

what is? PES_Lul

analog wraith
#

That French name game you were talking about

#

no i mean
what is on echsbawks that you can't get anywhere else?

#

gears of wa-
oh wait that is on pc too

#

um

#

the uh

analog wraith
#

Yeah but more power to people who can play Xbox games

#

Kinda sucks when a game is on every platform except the Xbox

fathom juniper
#

yeah

analog wraith
#

Like I love the Xbox and I'm not one of them butts who moans about Xbox games coming to other platforms

#

Avowed, Grounded, Sea of Thieves and HiFi Rush all kinda make sense to be multiplatform

#

Of course Gears is on PC cos Xbox basically is PC! Well Microsoft but you get me!

#

But you can't get Gears on PlayStation!

#

I’m just hella impatient for hades 2 on console

#

it’s not even entirely that like as a console player i can’t play it, part of me wishes nobody could, so everyboy had to wait with me

#

and yes i know thats selfish and not how game dev works but dammit i wanna play it too

signal kayak
#

You'll have to be hella more patient, though, that game isn't even out of early access yet

#

I do get you though, it is good

keen jungle
#

Lifes never been fair, we live in a reality where having money puts you ahead of the curve, that's simply how it is

#

If it makes you feel better, just know you'll be getting the perfect hades experience, the way the game was intended to be played. That's something I won't be able to get even on a new file, cause impatience got the best of me. 2 sides of the coin

fathom juniper
#

Okay…
I guess I’ll have learn how to rip models from unity games

#

Cause I really wanna play that hardcore mode but I’d rather do it without that absurd schoolgirl outfit PES_Lul

Oh man
The pipeline is real

I finally bought Breath of the Wild. Did anyone else find it really hard to get into?

fathom juniper
#

man
this game - republique - is just begging for a sequel

#

it's such a good concept that no one ever has tried again...
...besides ubisoft poorly emulating it in a single sidequest in watch dogs dusa

#

and i would love to see it expanded in a new game

#

same with the story - now that we're in the middle of the AI craze and what not
which would be a perfect fit for a new script

#

i mean - david hayter ain't doing much - i'd love to see him come back as zaeger

#

yall gotta play republique

Oh Christ I forgot how uncomfortable this bit of the game gets PES_BoiStop

And ep3 done PES_BoiStop

#

Yup
All those years on and it still doesn’t get any easier

#

I love this game
And playing it now on a steam deck with this weird ass control scheme reminds me of… transistor, weirdly enough

A weird, surirval-horrory, point-and-clicky, stealthy transistor PES_Think

Hmmmmmmm PES_Think

I'm only partway through but so far Metaphor Re:fantazio strongly reminds me of pyre lol

fathom juniper
#

It’s one of those few, really rare cases where a game gets political and does it good

#

See - fallout, Deus ex and so forth

#

Writing in this game is just stellar
And it has some really well rounded characters

#

And on the gameplay front…
The game is 50% audio logs and the remaining 50% goes to it being a stealth action, survival horror, point and click, almost-turn-based metroidvania dusa

#

So it’s 10% each @mystic wave

#

It’s a game full of vibes and cool little moments

My curiosity is piqued!

Its called 1000xResist

Ac7 plays so well on the deck

fathom juniper
#

But I gotta finish Republique first
Episode 5 tonight

#

I like how every episode has this sort of different theme
Episode 1 is where they’re introducing you to everything
2 is where they crank up the challenge
3 is where things get emotional
4 is where things get weird
And 5 is where the quality drops dusa

fathom juniper
#

Wow what a strange bug

#

So I connected my Bluetooth headphones to my steam deck
Or at least - tried to

#

I took them out of the case and then turned on Bluetooth on the deck the second buds turned on

#

So I guess something wrong happened when they were connecting cause now I’m hearing…
All steam os ui sounds in slow motion dusa

With a delay, pitched down and twice as long

Wait
Games sound like that too dusa

Rapping monk dropping bars in Esperanto of all languages certainly wasn't on my bingo

i sure do love paid reviews

#

IGN giving the new DA game a 9, when they gave the Mass Effect trilogy 9's.

How is the new DA EVEN comparable to the ME trilogy

signal kayak
#

They gave Jamboree a 6/10

#

IGN being reliable is the joke of the century

fathom juniper
#

shame about that slightly fumbled ending though

clear python
#

i love fumbled indie endings…

fathom juniper
#

like
listen - im a sucker for good, long, satisfying endings
and this one...

#

it's not that

#

but that doesn't invalidate everything else though
doesn't make the remaining 11 hours any less enjoyable

#

on top of that - i remembered the whole episode 5 to be a bit meh
but now - after replating it?
it was awesome!

#

it has best gameplay, it introduces a lot of new stuff
and it does that metroidvania thing where you get to backtrack through old places but puts new enemies in there which you have to handle in new ways

#

and then there's so, SO much content i missed
now that im thinking about it

#

i got 89% on this run which is my lowest score ever

#

the writing is great, voiceacting is stellar, and everything building up to the ending is just PES_Ok

#

it's just the last like...
three minutes that don't stick the landing

#

there's a clear cut-off point there and it feels like there was supposed to be one more episode, you know?
something to pace it all out better, give this new level of challenge some more room to breathe and maybe give some plotpoints a bit more time

clear python
#

Yeah some games are like that, still enjoy them

fathom juniper
#

this is such a perfect game for this server too PES_Lul

#

like - we all have different tastes here

#

but each and every one of us will find something for themselves in republique

else heart.break() is one of the best games I ever played despite it abruptly ending right after the climax

Echo is a strange one

#

I want to replay it sometimes but I had trouble beating it to begin with, mostly because I was bad at it but it’s so astoundingly beautiful

I was also really bad (like in any game) but the objectives of ‚find 10 orbs‘ that repeated four times and at the end were like ‚find 50 orbs‘ (i‘m not kidding) didn‘t help

The setup of the replication mechanic was great though

#

especially considering how much you like transistor

#

well the difference here is - i actually enjoyed what came before that ending in republique

#

i can't stand mass effect though PES_Lul

#

i tried, i really wanted to like it
gave up after three attempts

ocean iris
#

cant wait to see how marvelified ME5 will be

#

#

yeah its a bit harder to get into but just for the worldbuilding alone its worth it

most ppl started with 2

#

i suggest you try it

fathom juniper
#

yeah that's the thing
I don't mind the jank

#

i mean - hell - im an alpha protocol fan

ocean iris
#

is it the dialogue?

#

as in, dialogue heavy?

fathom juniper
#

but i just...
i really can't stand how everyone was talking to me like they had a bunch of sticks up their space butts

#

and how little role playing there was during actual gameplay in this...
role-playing game

#

can i be non-lethal?
stealthy?

#

nah man - here's a sniper rifle
once you're done with it go play some space frogger or something iunno

ocean iris
#

whoever says mass effect is an rpg they are lying

#

its like

#

it has rpg elements the first one at least

#

like an inventory and items and such

#

but in general its a narrative game

#

the selling point are the choices

#

and the 2nd game is very praised for all the variables and such, hence the suicide mission theme
like you assemble a cool ass team and try to keep them alive

#

and it ROCKS

fathom juniper
#

yeah but here's the thing
it may be cool

#

but there's a problem of time investment

#

i'd have to finish mass effect 1 and most of 2 to get to that bit

#

and they're not short

#

i ain't got time for that

cause 1 - i really wanna get a closer look at this game's gorgeous art
and 2 - there's one spot that clearly leads to somewhere
there's a corner and stairs going up

#

and it looks like they wanted to put something in there but scrapped that idea early on and instead of changing this place they just moved the cameras around so that you can't see what's in there PES_Lul

i love when game files contain goodies

back when it was called "human condition"

Let’s do another run!

Hardcore mode, dev commentary, 100%

Let’s go

#

Man
This game can’t even do dev commentary the normal way PES_Lul

Usually they do this the valve style
A bunch of leads get together and explain everything in a professional way years after the fact like
„Oh here’s how we did this and that and here’s a little animation that shows how it works”

#

And yeah that’s fine
But you wanna know how Republique does dev commentary?

#

It’s live PES_Lul
They just recorded themselves talking and discussing different stuff while actually still working on the game

#

Like - they’re all hunched over a single display and Ryan just had a voice recorder in his pocket and sneakily got it all on tape and then they just chucked it into the game

im not too familiar with modding community yet

there are some mods for doom 3
but the community for it is nowhere near as big as for clessic doom

long story short
a while back i ran his - at the time - latest build of DB on one of my earliest maps and the performance was so bad my laptop legit started overheating
which is kinda dangerous

#

and it happaned just because there was a body of water outside with a little bit of simple rain
which means that every map like that would make your rig melt

#

i posted about it on a board - anonomusly
and tried to be nice and civil about it

#

which then he of course took as a personal attack, cropped my anon post and started crapping on it on twitter or whatever
which then made the rounds around the community
