OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

Gotta love the 70 pace CB catching Mbappe

I don’t really skill move much. I feel like I cause more problems than I solve when I try them.

Usually stepovers for accel boost. Gotta elastico with the 5* guys too just because.

Oh yeah, of course. I meant the difficult ones that require 5* skill moves.

Stepovers, ball rolls, heel to heel, rainbow flicks,and things like that are manageable.

@JojoTheWhale do all Steam games work on the Steam Deck? I assume they do - I was just wondering about the more demanding titles that use a lot of computing juice.

I think almost everything other than VR games will work in some capacity.

The full answer is that you will definitely find some that don’t work to what I would call an ideal level. There are just too many games out there to give a blanket yes. But there is also a list Valve curated of tested games as well as a compatibility rating system: Steam Deck :: Deck Verified

@FLYguy3911 i hope you’re saving packs for TOTY. I almost forgot but I have a few good ones stored, plus obviously whatever I get between now and then.

I’ll get nothing, of course, but it’s the completely delusional and baseless hope that keeps me alive.

I don’t have the discipline for that. Plus I get anxiety from having to deal with all of the dupes that come from saving up. Maybe next week I’ll save.

Just started BG2. Looks like there's no resolution of the Skie situation? That's disappointing.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I grabbed AoE4, Valheim, Against the Storm and Solasta for rainy day stuff. I'm just content killing time in BG3 currently.

Also can't recommend Northgard enough, especially if you can find a poor soul to sucker into it with you.

Haven't stopped playing Against the Storm..since it was released on game pass..really great game

I picked up Against the Storm as well. I've only done the tutorial and one settlement, but it seems like an absolute blast. Things kept going to shit, but I managed to barely scrape by enough to 'win' the map. I really like how the buildings you get are randomized. That's a very clever way to keep things fresh for each game you play.

I wish they’d just let you store duplicates…

Most irritating thing in the game

Resident Evil 4 Remake is PHENOMENAL. Only just starting chapter 4 but man…what an insane adrenaline rush.

 

[flyersnorth]

Just about to wrap up Act 1 in Baldur’s Gate 3, so I looked up a bunch of missions and walk through for things I’ve done just to see how it compares.

I‘d say about 90% of what I read is nothing like my experience. There's so much player agency. What a great game so far!

This sums it up nicely -

It’s so greedy. At least don’t make it so I don’t pack 88 Bernardo Silva 100x but still have yet to pack an 82 Ferland Mendy.

The Merchant is an awesome NPC. Tons of personality lol.

This dude manages to nail his mannerisms and voice perfectly.

The Mega64 guys did a bunch of these things back in the day. Live action Tetris, Mario (with a Miyamoto appearance), Paperboy...

My brother really liked this game when it came out. I’ve heard good things too!

Yeah it's linear and the gameplay isn't the most revolutionary but the writing, story, graphics, and of course the music are great. If you love the movies you'll probably love this too.

How’s that humble bundle monthly thing work? It looks like they have marvel sins and a few others this month for $11.99. If I get it for one month, do I get to keep all the games or is it like Xbox live/psn where I only have access to them if I have an active subscription?

 

[Striiker]

@FLYguy3911 You doing the Maldini SBC?

I constantly hear streamers saying he’s the best/most broken CB in the game and I know you’re an full-time SBC addict so…

Want to for the Serie A vibes and I def need a CB next to VVD, but I already dumped an 89 squad into Eusebio so I'm pretty much committed to that for now. He looks amazing though and not crazy expensive. Only available for 30 days though. Most icons are 60.

Yeah, the 30 days is exactly why I’m not even going to bother trying. I don’t have enough and I don’t think I’ll be able to grind enough to get it.
Plus, my team is Bundesliga and Premier league, so he doesn’t really fit.

If you get a chance, I’d like to see your current lineup.
