Does Nintendo even have a plan to construct sea walls to fend off the rising tides?

worms butthole guy posted:This is true and it really shows the incompetance on Nintendo that they couldn't compete in this market. I actually struggle to think how Nintendo CAN compete with the Steam Deck going forward, especially if Valve ever gets to a place where Steam Deck is commonly available. Thing is, Nintendo can be massively incompetent around the entire periphery of the Switch and yet their core competence alone (producing no-nonsene, kid-friendly-but-adult-enjoyable franchise titles) carries them, every time. Valve can't compete with Nintendo here, and they're not trying to either. Like, yes, Valve has solved or avoided a lot of problems. Steam Input is fantastic--gyro that works in every game. Free multiplayer and cloud saves. Refunds and half-decent store policies. This is to say nothing about the generational leap of the Deck over the Switch and the titles available for it. But at the same time, there's tons of people who love the Switch that can't deal with the enthusiast bullshit that's still required for the Deck. Even turning on the 30 fps frame limiter is too much to ask, let alone looking up compatibility notes on protondb. Forget getting Dolphin or PrimeHack all configured-up to play past Nintendo titles they haven't been able to bring over to the Switch. There's people who have even bought Decks, said "I respect this, but it's too much for me", sold them, and have gone back to Switch gaming. Until this is solved, Valve can't even begin to compete with Nintendo. Maybe in a few product cycles Valve will have a Deck where nearly all games just work out of the box, no configuration, and only then can they start to compete with Nintendo and still won't have the benefit of their evergreen franchises that appeal to folks generation after generation.

not a troll, you can trace my switch sale to SA Mart. The Deck is just phenomenal on every level that even turning on my switch this morning to format it I asked myself "who would enjoy this over a steam deck anymore".

I still buy a handful of titles available on both Steam and Switch, on Switch. It's smaller, docks easier, and generally has better battery life. Plus I think the OLED screen is legitimately good. I'm done with FPSes on the Switch though, those control way better on the Deck. Also Unity-engine games always have terrible performance. Like you can tell the Tunic Switch port is janky even from the Direct video, so while I'm happy they announced it I'm still going to get that on the Deck instead.

The good games only on Switch are Nintendo games. Nintendo games carried the N64 and Gamecube up to a point and the Wii managed to be a breakout success, but Wii U showed how fleeting that can be. Nintendo needs third parties to survive, Deck absolutely presents a long term threat to that by giving those third parties a mobile console-like platform with near-zero effort required on their behalf to release on it. They're the first credible competition to Nintendo in the mobile gaming market, mostly because their approach is so different that it's almost an outside context problem. That said Valve still need to figure out game setting presets before it's truly competitive with consoles in a accessibility sense.

worms butthole guy posted:Has anyone tried RDR2 on the Deck? It's hard to tell if it actually runs or not and can't get a straight answer out of ProtonDB Yeah it runs but you need to use an older version of proton. 6-3 something It’s not quite a locked 40fps but it’s pretty close. Id probably try and use the FSR 2.0 mod and you’d probably get closer to a locked 40fps.

Tiny Timbs posted:Nintendo loves monetizing kids but the big dependence on custom content is definitely a no-go zone  Nintendo made this amazing little game to teach kids programming called Game Builder Garage. It uses a visual programming language with nodes and links. Sharing and finding games in it is a PITA, completely opposite Dreams or Little Big Planet. They could have monetized the gently caress out of those kids but made a choice for that part of the game to be less accessible than in Super Mario Maker 2. That or they are so out-of-touch with online games that they think their indirect Dreams-competitor doesn't need built-in community interaction.

Nintendo doing things in the name of protecting kids is a big part of why you still need friend codes to add friends on Switch. They're terrified of a headline like "child meets podophile on their Switch" or something. So there's no voice chat built in on the console and to add a friend, you need to trade codes outside of the systems interface.

Veotax posted:Nintendo doing things in the name of protecting kids is a big part of why you still need friend codes to add friends on Switch. It's hard to tell when it's incompetence or laziness vs trying to protect the kids. Animal Crossing Wii had voice chat if you plugged in a USB mic. I think they just don't want to deal with the programming or network infrastructure themselves. Like Splatoon 2 had voice chat but you had to buy a dongle and download an app if you wanted to use a headset. This thing is real, wonder if it is still a thing for Splatoon 3:

Magic Shortbus posted:XCom 2 works with the Steam Deck as a controller just fine. Go into your Steam Deck controller settings and from the templates section just pick Gamepad with XXXX from the bottom templates. You also have to set the game to use the controller interface in the XCom 2 interface options. It may not automatically switch for you. Once you do it will stick and youre good. I reinstalled and I'm still having the same problem. The interface options are grayed out and I can only choose mouse. No idea why. It does recognize my inputs but it's still set to mouse controls which feel horrible compared to how it plays with a controller on console (or presumedly PC with a controller)

Chalk me up as someone who's just going to play all of his Switch titles (if they run well enough) on his Deck and I have a friend or two that have done the same and gotten rid of their Switches but I don't see Nintendo floundering anytime soon. Unless the Switch 2 is easy to emulate and Nintendo doesn't keep up with interesting hardware that gives people a reason to choose it over a Steam Deck with more tradition styled controls and features.

Ok now input select is working and I can switch Xcom 2 to controller, but I cannot save and exit in the menu with X, which means I cannot leave the menu without undoing the changes.

I'm playing RE4 right now and occasionally (and without any obvious cause) the game seems to think I'm playing using a mouse and keyboard. Like, you know how in menus and stuff it will show you button prompts based on what input device you're using? They'll all be keyboard keys and stuff all of a sudden, and my inputs will get all weird. Like when I hit L2 to aim, Leon will stop 1/10th of the way through the animation like I'm overwriting it with a different input. Same goes for holding left stick up to move forward, Leon will stutter step like I'm canceling the animation by inputting another command. For some reason it feels like my Steam Deck is constantly hitting some keyboard key and it's screwing with the input. Any idea what's going on here?

I had the same issue and it usually required a restart. Lots of games will switch prompts if you use a combo of controller and touchpad, but RE4 is the only game I have seen that seems to do it and randomly and make the game unplayable.

It's funny to see that they didn't settle on full sized analog sticks until the absolute final product and god, I can't even imagine the Deck without real analog sticks. It's one of the main features that makes it feel like a portable with no real compromises to the experience.fadam posted:poo poo, that’s really annoying in a game without quicksave. I'm sure someone else who has played it more will chime in with an actual solution. Just posting letting you know that you aren't alone and that probably happens for everyone.

The amount of people who play the switch a lot and also are totally cool with configuring an emulator on a Linux machine without a physical keyboard is, and I'm just speculating here, maybe over-represented on this 2000-era discussion board.

Can you get gamepass working on the Deck? Downloaded Disney dreamlight valley for my kid without knowing it basically meant she plays dress up with her character and decorates her house, while I grind quests and rewards at night, and realized the deck would be great for this, but I also want to use my gamepass sub and cloud saves for it. To be clear, I already have a deck in reservation and am still waiting on an email, and did not just reserve one solely for this purpose! I'm mostly a switch gamer because I absolutely love their games, and use my PC for steam games because of my monitors and hardware/controls, but I can't deny how much i'd love to be able to knock out game side quests or explore over worlds from bed or while out.

You can set up gamepass cloud streaming on Deck apparently and Microsoft has released instructions on how to do it, but actual gamepass seems to do some fucky stuff with Windows that won't fly on Linux so there's currently no way to get it running natively on the Steam Deck.
