Still Elden Ring ( ...man if isn't big π€©)
I tried starting Control last night. I've played it like 4 times on PS5, but it was on sale with Disco Elysium recently. But Direct X 12 seems to be a no-go, and then when I tried 11 it just crashed immediately. But the second I'd get to the mail room it just shits the bed and grinds to like 1.5 fps.
That's odd, I played Control on my deck and it ran great. You should definitely be able to run it on DX11, maybe try a different proton version if it's refusing to launch.
Another thing, did you have a problem with your graphic settings not sticking after loading the game again? I got it to work eventually, but it's definitely a glitch.
Honestly I don't remember having that issue, but it's been awhile so it's hard to say.
Well it runs butter smooth with Experimental and DX11, and settings are higher now. Pumped.
I did set it to Proton experimental from whatever the top option was, after quitting. I shall try again with both.
Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.
i just added Luigi Mansion 2 HD and it work flawless with Yuzu
I'm replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.
Dave the Diver!
Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.
I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren't (yet) made for a controller.
Dang. I wanted to try Satisfactory on it.
You could, but there's no official control scheme. My experience wasn't great, but maybe yours will be better. I just think that since there's so many buttons (multiple toolbars, multiple menus and build modes, etc.), it's hard to make it all work.
Maybe I'll try my hand at a new control scheme, but it just seems built for a M+Kb. It plays well, though, so the limitation really is only the controls.
There's a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn't terrible on an xbox controller, it's surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.
I'd give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It's quite good.
Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I've got DLC to play.
It's been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It's a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that's implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.
I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn't just use it as an emulation device...yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2
Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week
Nine Sols!
Who would've guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck's speaker is just so satisfying.
Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.
Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.
Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others
Sea of Stars went on sale and it's fantastic.
- Balatro
- Peglin
- Some pokemon rom hacks
- Dragon quest monsters
- Necesse
Arkham Knight, Max Payne 2, and this super complex game called Blender 3D in which I have made donuts.
hell yeah blender is awesome
It is. I've been away from it for a few years, and these new Geometry Nodes and hair systems are pretty incredible. So long particle system. It's really come a long way since about 2.9 when I last played with it.
And the deck handles it pretty solidly, but it'd be nice if GPU rendering were supported.
A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I've been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.
Then recently I've been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it's connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. Itβs Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and itβs easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.
I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you arenβt, you probably should play the other games in the series. π
Currently I'm playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.
Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it's just too stressful.
Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.
Haven't been playing it much recently, but I've gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I'm stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that's off the table for a while.
And the only other games I've actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I've only been playing a little bit since I've been busy enough.
Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?
Forza Horizon 4 currently
went back in cyberpunk. restarted with the mod to make ability checks static to get rid of the. not enough tech, level to increase tech, check is now higher and not enough tech thing. Man I wish they would make an update where you could skip the whole shard memories playing as silverhands in arasaka bombing thing. It would help a lot in replayability since no matter what you do its the exact same experience.
I'll replay it too when I'll get the expansion. Not sure about the screen size so I may jump back to the pc though
In between
God of war (lowest settings capped to 30 due to the memory leak)
Bad North
Mini metro
Forza horizon 4
Fallout 4
Vampire survivors
I really really like it, and I've been playing it in my learning language and I've learned so much from the rich dialogue and story elements.
Its in the same vain as hollow knight in terms of tight controls and skill based combat, with aspects of exploration.
I say this as a person who is not a fan of metroidvanias at large, nor dark souls games, but I'm a huge fan of souls-lights.
Sorry, what game is it that you're talking about?
