Hi
That fight gave me so much trouble. Every single try at least one of my party members was shoved into the abyss and in 20 tries or so not a single one resisted the shove. In the end I did everything I could to nuke the boss, ignoring everything else and then with my last party member I went invisible, jumped to a safe spot and killed everything else with a bow.
Awesome man! I hope I can get my wife to play it with me. But yea, it’s exactly how console games from these times were. No complaining from me though. Do you also still remember looking at the end game cinematic from BG:DA2 and having your imagination run wild as to what that cliffhanger ending might mean and being hype for whatever that ending might entail?
Lol, that brings back memories. That face is burned into my memory. It was always so hype to go back to him and looking for new armour and weapons. I still think those games were way better than they get credit for.
Lol, for a second there I was extremely confused and wondering what the hell you were talking about…and then I remembered they made a third one…or rather I mean, what? A third game? I wish!
I always played the dwarf in the first game but I also played the necromancer in the second game. Well, I also remember cheating myself Drizzt Do’urden for the second game and playing him…but usually the Necromancer haha.
Does anyone else have have fond memories of Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance (1-2) ? I wasn’t aware that the PC games existed back then but I adored the PS2 hack and slash games and I’ll always remember the Elfsong Tavern from BG:DA1 very fondly.
Checks out. The hardware requirements aren’t that much different from Elden Ring and that game runs pretty good on the Steam Deck as well
Definitely Heroic Launcher. It will do everything you want for your gog, epic and amazon games. Cloud saves are still an experimental feature (afaik) though. Oh, and updating isn’t automatic. You’ll have to update by going into desktop mode, starting heroic launcher and update your game from there.
Obviously won’t happen, but it would be fun to have WoW’s game time imported into Steam and watch everybody’s game time go through the roof.
I don’t think anyone was expecting 60fps from bethesda game studios. Looking at their other games 60 fps was very unlikely.
I’d say you have the essentials already after getting your 2TB drive. With that kind of storage you won’t have to think about buying an SD card for a while (if ever). You might want to think about getting a case though. Preferably one with a kickstand. Mine also helped with the steam decks plastic shell being misaligned a bit leading to hard edges pressing into my palms. Other than that I’d say most of the (more) essential stuff is software related. Like getting decky loader and exploring its plugins. Edit: one thing that came to mind right now are good headphones. My bluetooth headphones have a very slight delay (your milage may vary) but fortunately the steam deck has a headphone jack
Somehow this really surprises me. I’m not sure if I have seen even a single promotional image (except for the cover image on the battle net launcher) but apparently that speaks more of my internet bubble than the games promotional campaign.
But still, Diablo 3 seemed like a much bigger deal. Can anyone speak about how the hype is compared to Diablo 3?
Can you explain what takes so long then when setting up your devices, because I really don’t get it.
Playstation 5 setup should be a single login, then download and install firmware updates and before playing a game install another update. Everything else should be optional.
And two days to set up a router is not normal and something only very few people would have to deal with. For the most part it should either be connecting the router and it setting up automatically or connecting it and putting in your login data.
In general I would argue that it has become a whole lot easier to set up tech nowadays. The only thing that is more annoying today than in the past are mandatory accounts for tech that doesn’t need them so they can gather/steal your data. That shit sucks.
