Agreed.
What I’d love to see is a market where you have big gaming rigs for pc builders and Steam Machine equivalents for people who used to have consoles.
I’d be really happy to see other manufacturers creating something equivalent to the Steam Machine, just like it happened for the Steam Deck.
Well I can’t agree with him as we need lower costing hardware and more optimization.
From what hés saying, I guess the problem is that it wasn’t different enough from a Series X and people were having the same expectations.
Wether it ain’t the case for the Switch 2 since there is no bigger brother.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t try have better looking games, but you can’t expect gamers to have more and more money, so consoles/PC should remain at a similar price as much as possible.
If getting new consoles means 3x times the price of the previous one, maybe don’t release a new one and keep releasing games for the old one.
The same applies to PC. I now have a Steam Deck and a Playstation 5, but I won’t be getting a Playstation 6, getting a Linux gaming PC around 2029 for sure.
Still I won’t invest more than 1200$ in a PC as it’s just too much.
If a developer can’t create a good looking game which tuns on that 1200$ PC, then they won’t be getting my money and they’ll also lose something. It’s a lose-lose situation so just scale the game so that it can run decently on every kind of PC.
I live in Europe (although not the political part) and we don’t have the ability to resell games, only to return them if you haven’t played them for more than 2 hours and bought them less than 14 days ago.
Where did you read this?
Thanks for the info.
It still sounds crazy to me that I won’t be able to play some solo games forever if I don’t go online.
I’m still gonna buy some games on Steam, but it’s mostly GOG now.
Imagine you spend 3 wonderful weeks with a girl and the 4th week she turns out be awful or just boring.
Isn’t the 4th week gonna have an influence about what you think about the first 3 weeks?
But I’m also happy for you if you’re not like this, because it’s a gift.
It’s an interesting read and a good explanation but I don’t know if I still trust them.
I’m happy with ProtonPass, but I’m still on them edge of leaving them…
Well I’m still trying to recover from Metal Gear Solid V and forget about its existence in order to be able to fully enjoy the old ones.
Prometheus did damage my love for the Alien franchise.
Not everyone is the same I guess😅
Ability to easily see if a game if DRM free or not.
Also, Steam OS on my Steam Deck, still has a few annoying bugs which makes it less stable than a Playstation (not talking about inside the games)
How often do you have to go online to activate it?
Or how long can you stay offline?
To be honest I didn’t and I haven’t watched the trailer.
I wasn’t on Reddit for long until I left for the Fediverse, but I didn’t get the feeling I had to hide who I was on it, because you had a bit of everyone on it. So it would be kind of balanced…
Here, people are really leaning on one side. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have really nice and helpful people on the Fediverse, but I feel like I have to censor myself more even if what I’m saying is nothing crazy.
Of course, I’m allowed to say what I want as long as it follows rules, but sometimes I don’t because I don’t want to have any hostility directed at me.
All of this to say, that a few things were better on Reddit even if most of them weren’t.
I think there was perfect closure for the Mass Effect trilogy, but I’d still happily get a new one!
Still, I’d be scared of the new one destroying the magic.
Sometimes it’s better to stop when the story is finished…
To be honest, here I’m also feeling that you can’t say some things if you don’t want to get insulted and downvoted.
I have almost nothing positive to say about Windows so I don’t really mind if only Linux is allowed, but I feel like you have to have an anti-state and anti-police stance here.
I’m none of these and I really understood that it’s difficult to have a different opinion here.
Still, I’m enjoying Lemmy/PieFed, but nuance seems more difficult to have here because it ain’t full of « normies ».
About size, I guess it would be nice to have less dead communities, so probably nice to have more people in these.
I they want my money, maybe they could just go back to also releasing their games on GOG.
I’d then be really happy to pay!
I guess they’ll soon see that it can be improved and they probably will.
Still, it’ll never be perfect and that’s why a website like SteamDeckHQ is great and should be supported.
Warm welcome! It’s nice to have such a place to read about topics you like and get help when needed.
Also most people here are really friendly despite a few less friendly ones.
Enjoy and try to support if you can!
The most beautiful game I’ve ever played is still Last Of Us 2, a Playstation 4 game.
I’d be happy with such graphical fidelity for at least another 15 years.
I hope the ramageddon is gonna create better optimisation and people are gonna use what they have more.
I don’t plan on getting new hardware until 2029.
My Steam Deck and Playstation 5 are fine for now even if I really want to get out of the Playstation ecosystem and go all in with Linux.
It’s weird because in a way what I’d really want is a launcher like Heroic integrating Steam and GOG.
Gog Galaxy on Linux isn’t probably gonna change this…
Rights now I use Heroic for most of my games (GOG), but since I have a Steam Deck I’m launching the games through Steam.
I feel like everything relies on Valve and it’s willingness to allow other launchers, but what happens if they change their mind.
It would be good if Valve was part of the ecosystem and not the ecosystem.
What was the feature parity Microslop was asking for?
If it’s having the same game modes it doesn’t schock me. Of course if it’s having the same graphical fidelity on lower hardware, it ain’t the same.
