Hey I was a skeptic too but got to play it for an hour during the network test and am actually cautiously optimistic. I could still be wrong but it seemed like they put a lot of thought into the new systems.

Thanks for the heads up, I woulda forgotten

I love my Steam Deck but it’d be an i stant purchase if they released a Steam Deck lite with half the size and the same capability

And ignoring all the attempts at a game-as-a-service that fail

Just one more run of Nier

It would be except I forgot it existed while it was in purgatory on Epic

Oh damn didn’t know that. Definitely changes the calculus

Love this game. My buddy and I are waiting for the next full release to start a new campaign. Looks like they’ve added a lot since we played last.

Really looking forward to NPCs though, hope they don’t wait too many decades to complete that.

Oh nice I’ve been waiting for this.

That’s the one thing I finally learned with the DLC that I should have learned long before this - leaving and coming back later instead of fighting and dying to a tough boss 30 times in a row

Huh, is this maybe the newer Tomb Raider?

I’d do this too but every screenshot I posted would just be Elden Ring.

I guess I’m OOTL - what happened with Valheim?

Are the eBay buttons as buttony as these tho

Yeah I stopped about 15 seconds in because it seemed to be showing multiple boss characters.

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.

They are like 1-2 little steps away from a very good HTPC Steam Deck.

Like if they could just take a little time to make Firefox work 100% in game mode (right now it’s not quite there, like you can’t go full screen with videos) and make controllers just a little more comfortable for browsing and it’d already be there for me.

I liked Legion and have a likely unpopular opinion that they did cyberpunk better than Cyberpunk did. The sandbox world of hacking and controlling different things was fantastically fun. I really wished at least that self-driving cars would have made it to Cyberpunk too. That was a blast.

Didn’t like the story or writing too much tho and the voice acting was horrendous which is obvously where Cyberpunk excels.

The worst thing is that everyone seems to think that it IS where it should have been at release! Which I will admit that it is finally the polished bug-free game that any game should be at release. But anyone like me who was watching every last promo video they did teasing the game pre-release, knows it still isn’t and never will be the game they promised it would be.

Their insistence on releasing on previous gen hardware is surely as much to blame as the rush to get it out for that sweet sweet pandemic money. Still looking back it’s hard to say if it ever was going to live up to what they were teasing it would be.
