Death Stranding. Still keeping on keeping on!

[–] Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I wanna 100% this game again just for the sake of playing it portably. Brilliant game.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Great game, this was my covid comfort. Played it on Ps4 and I miss my bibi and the thumbs up

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tears of the kingdom! emulation has been making strides recently

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a tutorial you can recommend? Not long after it came out I managed to get it running, but only in desktop mode, and input wasn't working at all.

[–] Weylandyuta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You could try steam rom manager. It allows you to add your roms and/or emulators to your steam list from one app. It comes with emudeck but I think you can get it separately if you don't want to use the rest of emudeck features.

[–] CottonMcKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has gotten so much better in the last few weeks. Nearly 30fps stable, far fewer crashes. Very enjoyable!

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol even the switch can do better than that

[–] conductor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t the switch dynamically downscale the resolution though? I thought that was how they kept it at 30 on the switch.

Just finished Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood and I’m playing through Revelations for the first time

[–] flunky@lemmy.flunky.club 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you've played that.

If you haven't played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.

[–] Polo421@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Here's hoping you move on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It's one of my favorite of all time.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Diablo and Dave the Diver!

[–] Lolors17@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been playing a lot of RedOut2 and Before We leave.

[–] Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Docked: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Perfect for laying in bed, has a near auto-battle combat system between cutscenes that i can enjoy comfortably.

Undocked: Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'm trying to get all the achievements via RetroAchievements and am at the point where it's just grinding so it works elegantly for those random chances I find to put some playtime in. I played through the story, which was great btw, mostly docked.

Too much farming simulator

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just beat the giant squid last night! I'm a little unsure what some of the mechanics mean still , but great game!

[–] Jingleheimer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm seriously addicted to Dave The Diver at the moment.

[–] Silvus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you mean on my brotatoDeck? surely people don't do anything other than use for brotato. I mean, that is what it's for. right? ... right?!?!

[–] static@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I finally got D5 on everyone a few weeks ago, then more new characters so the addiction resumes

[–] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

It used to be my BrotatoDeck until Steam overwrote my savegame while syncing. Haven't been able to bring myself to play it again since then.

[–] gogosempai@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

High on Life and Arkham Asylum. Also CS:Go but that's an everlasting game.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I tried csgo but found I was horrible on the deck, always been a mouse and keyboard gamer for me

How does it compare to the og katamari?

[–] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No Man's Sky, lots of No Man's Sky this last month. Monster Hunter World is installed and ready to go... but I just need to finish something in No Man's Sky first.

For a smaller Indie title, I was playing Aground before the latest NMS community expedition.

My daughter has been borrowing it to play The Lake, and my son and I have been playing Nickelodeon Brawl and Nickelodeon Carts on it.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was addicted to no man's sky for a while, plays great on the deck. I took a black hole somewhere and then had an existential crisis wondering what I was doing it there in the universe and left myself stranded lost somewhere I didn't know

[–] andybeta@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Non-stop Diablols for me or StS if I can’t guarantee an hour or can’t get online. Diablo IV runs perfectly.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What build and level? I'm a blood surge necro at level 51

[–] andybeta@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Level 68 HOTA (hammer of the ancients) Barbarian. Looking forward to season one?

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm thinking of trying another build for the season, how is the HOTA barbarian? I'm enjoying rolling the blood out of every grub on the screen with my necromancer

[–] andybeta@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

The HOTA Barb has felt consistently powerful at every level. It’s particularly vulnerable against ranged enemies but in a crowded room it’s just unstoppable. Not a lot of finesse though. icyVeins has a good guide for level 1-50 and then maxroll.gg was good for tier 3. I’m undecided what to do for S1, definitely want to try something new though.

[–] k3yword@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure if this is heresy here or not, but I just bought an ASUS ROG Ally. It’ll be here Wednesday and if you guys wanna recommend me some games, do!

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Install Arch on it.

[–] MildManneredPate@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Diablo 4! I’m really pleased with how well it runs.

[–] TechnoBabble@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Diablo 4 looks interesting, but $70 and microtransactions just rubs me the wrong way.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fwiw, I didn't even know there are micro transactions, and I'm about 3/4 through the story line and having a great time

[–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fallout 4. Its the first game I thought of when the Deck was announced and hoped it would be playable. I haven't been disappointed after 8 hrs on my Deck.

[–] oryx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I bought it a week ago and had buggy dialogue, soft locks, etc. in the house and at the gate to the vault. It was insanely broken. A fresh reinstall did nothing. Ended up refunding and buying Fallout 3, which has been fun so far. No clue why 4 was just busted for me.

[–] Kale@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've returned to the 2000's with Mass Effect, New Vegas, Morrowind and Stalker.

[–] Thwompthwomp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Morrowind never gets old. I always find something new.

[–] elidepa@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

How is Morrowind on a controller given its age and UI design in general? I myself have only played with keyboard and mouse.
