Overall it greatly expands the number of players though, even for niche games.
Like I found out about Shadow Empire after playing Stellaris a lot and then finding Dominions 6 as another 4X game, and eventually Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire (and Dominions for that matter) have a much smaller budget than Stellaris, but they are excellent games that I only found out about after enjoying the genre.
With that budget I find it hard to imagine you could beat the Raspberry Pi, but please post what you do find!
BG3 has the same too.
I bought a new PC just to play Starfield (and BG3 with less issues).
It looks alright overall. But it’s pretty crazy that even 30xx cards can’t run it well (I had a 1070 though).
Imagine a realistic KSP with AAA graphics, like replicating historic missions and planned ones, etc.
The Samsung ones work fine, I got them from work.
I think it’d only possibly be an issue for rhythm games, etc. I was playing emulated games and noticed no lag.
The CPU becomes the real issue though - which then means changing motherboard, which means changing RAM, etc. and then you might as well get an NVMe too etc.
Do that many people upgrade every generation?
I still use a 1070, so the GPU comparisons here aren’t relevant.
The main issue I hit was deciding between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM since we’re in an awkward transition phase - and that affects motherboard and so CPU choices too.
I haven’t played the Early Access yet as I don’t want to spoil it (but will set it up to test performance this weekend).
But D:OS2 was great on console - even split-screen! - just the inventory management is a little bit more of a hassle with a controller.
But note BG3 is delayed on Xbox due to Microsoft insisting on it shipping exactly the same for the Series S too, which struggles with the split-screen apparently.
Bought it last night on Steam to get the Digital Deluxe Edition bundled in the Early Access price.
It looks incredible.
My only concerns are moving the ability score points from races into just class choices might mean humans are left underpowered? I haven’t seen how the new D&D5e handles this though.
Also how alignment is handled, because the original Baldur’s Gate was awful for playing an Evil party. And that also meant a Paladin never faced any real hard decisions or trade-offs to keep their vows, etc.
Unfortunately I have to fly, so I can’t just put a huge battery in the car.
They weren’t distributed directly by Valve though, there wasn’t a standard hardware configuration, and SteamOS 3 and Proton didn’t exist then.
I think with the strength of the Steam Deck now it’d really help to solidify the Valve ecosystem. Why buy a PlayStation and re-buy your games when you can just use Steam?
EDIT: That reminds me I really want a Steam Controller 2.0 too!
I hope Valve release a home console with SteamOS like this.
Por que no los dos?
Yeah, it’s one of the best games ever. The Case Of The Golden Idol was good too but not quite as great.
I’m holding out for Shadows Of Doubt.
Wow, this looks really fun I’d never heard of it. Have you played Octopath Traveller?
Yeah, I keep Slay The Spire installed too.
Wildermyth is fun too but unfortunately the performance is awful.
I never beat the final boss, like the game is relatively easy up to that point and then it’s a huge difficulty spike.
I received BattleBit Remastered as a birthday gift, it’s great. I hope they don’t drop Linux support.
Other than that I might buy Bugsnax.
Personally I’d love to see more of a living world like Ultima VII, Oblivion and Dwarf Fortress Adventurer mode.
