Spartan: Total Warrior from the PS2 & Gamecube was I think an underrated or missed gem.

You don’t exactly play as a lot of mythological things, but it tells a great story with action combat around a lot of really cool mythology. Some of the bosses were incredibly cool.

Who’s a good game? Yes you are! Yes you are!

Mine play the heck out of the Wii U and the DS. I still am occasionally acquiring and playing a new Vita game almost yearly.

I now play my Steam Deck most of the time and the PS5 hardly gets touched.

A lot of Ys games. Certain Metal Gear games in a way have NG+ with carryover stuff.

More games need a solid NG+ that feels fun and rewarding.

An expense or purchase is not an investment.

It’s nice to see, but just some initial fooling around leaves more to be desired. There’s basic ease of use things that other recording systems have had for years that it seems to lack. Such as a quick and easy way to just say “save the last x minutes.”

No, you can either record far more than necessary and drop pins for later, or you can specify when to start and stop (as if you know when somethings coming up), or apparently grab only the last 10 seconds in a quick clip.

I prefer to save recent funny things, but sometimes they are varying time lengths. So it’s a tad disappointing, but it’s pretty cool for a start.

Also it’s already crashed my Steam Deck once within like 10 minutes of fooling around with it.

Like most Ys games, they’re a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they’re still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

At some point, you need to let your art be what it is.

Ys X: Nordics you cowards!!!

They redid her face, tons of lighting across the gameworld, and re-recorded tons of voice acting. I think maybe they also redid some motion capture. The original faces and animations were memorably pretty awkward. I read a bit from a developer suggesting they learned lots about what they would have done differently, so they did that.

As a huge fan of the original though, I’m hesitant to ever touch this since they changed so much. It’ll feel like some ripoff or something. I find the original a gem, with flaws and all. Every game has flaws, and that’s okay.

It feels like those creators who can’t just leave their music or movies as it was and keep fucking with it.

The Last of Us was released for the PS3 in June 2013.

The Last of Us Remastered was released for the PS4 in July 2014.

This game worked naturally on Steam Deck at launch. One of the first patches broke it. I don’t want to go into beta mode or other tinkering to make it work. Disappointing.

Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I’ll never understand sitting there forever.

Well shit. Lucky me. The 4th goddamn post of this horseshit I’ve seen on every freaking gaming community in my feed.

Man, this sounds wildly different picturing him naked.

Have they played their own games?

Bethesda RPGs are fun. But I’d say they are far from “perfectly tuned.” Always found them to be wonky, clunky, bug-riddled.

When was the last RPG they released that didn’t require tons of patching?

Shows photo with deep cleavage.

It was fine. I even played the new Age of Mythology on Steam Deck as well before a patch broke it. I’ve played a few other RTS’s as well.

I only play single player and I’m more of an economic slow player, and I was doing it for simple skirmishes or campaign missions. Of course with harder difficulties, more enemies, a larger map, or even multi-player I doubt it’d be practival.

But with some control tweaks on the Steam side, I can play a decent single player RTS game effectively.

If things get hectic, I save and go to my desktop. That didn’t happen in AoE3 yet though.
