Aperson Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 Wound up booting up my Steam library again after the sale. My laptop is too underpowered to run triple A games but its perfectly fine with running Indie games. If anyone's seen in the Gaming Diary thread I have been playing Rivals of Aether recently. The Workshop Mods were quite attractive, I've never played a game with mods before but its been fun just to mess around and turn rivals into "Indie Smash Bros" or at least that was the original intention. Mugen Smash was a lot more enticing in the end but I still tried to put in as many indie characters as possible, most from games I've never played but I figured that would replicate how in Smash Bros you probably haven't played half the gaming franchises that are in the roster. Some characters such as Ronald McDonald caused severe lag to games so I removed them from my roster.
Julius Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Steam Deck launch delayed by two months to February 2022. Mine wasn't due for me to confirm my order until Q2 anyways, and I'm in no real rush for it either, so...oh well, these things happen! Edited November 10, 2021 by Julius
Happenstance Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Yeah I just got the email. Kind of happy to be honest as it means I can put a bit more money aside.
Dcubed Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 I’m not getting mine until AFTER Q2 2022 now!?!? Holy crap! That’s brutal
Julius Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 PC features trailer for God of War, which is still coming 14th January 2022. Also put out a handy graphic for the system requirements of the five configurations for the game:
martinist Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 I can hit high spec but I really need to rip out that GPU one day.
Happenstance Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 I should be alright for Performance but I doubt I’d get the game until it got a massive discount as I’ve already played it on PS4.
Julius Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming to the Epic Games Store on 16th December (so, next Friday): Edited December 10, 2021 by Julius 2
Scratch Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 YEEEEEES I can FINALLY PLAY it! (And also now I will never need to buy a PS4 or PS5 xD) Day 1 buy for me! Like many others, would have preferred Steam (or just no "gaming client" required at all), but I'll take it! 1
ArtMediocre Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 Epic Games is having their "15 games for christmas"-thingy going on now, so, there's a new free mystery game each day. Shenmue 3 from 2019 is available now, with a new game opening up in three hours. Grab 'em if you can!
Dcubed Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Eagerly awaiting impressions from the guinee pigs who are getting their Steam Deck before me... No I'm not jealous, shut up! 1

Hoo boy, that's not going to be a fun wait... Also, no deck pun, really? "All hands on Deck for launch" or something like that? No?! Edited January 27, 2022 by Julius
Happenstance Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Mines still Q2 2022 so we'll see when I get my email. I'm expecting around April to be honest.
Dcubed Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I think most of us here are Q2/“after Q2” 2022 (myself included). Hopefully all the inevitable Steam OS kinks will be worked out by then. Edited January 28, 2022 by Dcubed
Dcubed Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 One for you @RedShell Today's "portables" are not very portable really 2
RedShell Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Oh my word! That is insane. Should have used a GB Micro for the comparison. Anyway, now that I'm here, a quick heads up for anyone who has Resident Evil 4 on PC... The fan-made HD Project (that has been in the works for 7 years ) is finally 100% complete and available to download!: https://www.re4hd.com/?page_id=9303 Just played the opening couple of chapters and it is absolutely incredible! I highly recommend checking it out. Edited February 4, 2022 by RedShell 2
martinist Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Need a new GPU. Still using an old GTX Titan Black I got in a pre-build a decade ago but GPUs are expensive >_> might stick a Ryzen 9 in there while i'm at it.

Ninja cop Europe edition cost £400 and £700 for the American one. That's a lot to pay for a small cartridge.⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

GBA games have actually come down to reasonable prices recently and eBay is actually now largely free of bootlegs! (outside of Pokémon). As long as you have your wits about you, now’s actually a really good time to pick up some GBA games!
Dcubed Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Steam Deck previews are out! Absolutely monstrous performance! GTX 1050 class performance in a handheld; insane! Battery life is incredibly variable; from a minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes all the way up to just over 6 hours; depending on how you're using it. Shame about the rubbish rumble and the kind of middling screen quality; but yeah... You're paying less than half the price of competing portable PCs for a system that is not only around 1.7x as powerful, but also with FAR higher build quality all around. Err... can I have this thing now? Please? Edited February 8, 2022 by Dcubed 1
Happenstance Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I think the first load of Steam Deck preorder emails are due out today 1
