Yeah brutal legend was a gigantic bait and switch that it was impossible to see coming because they never once mentioned the clunky RTS sections until it was on shelves

Coolness Averted posted:I think it's one of those things like Fable 1&2, where if you paid attention to any of the promised features and coverage you were gonna be disappointed. If you went in blind, or with an accurate pitch they were fun though. Especially if you got them cheap. It absolutely was a bait and switch, Shafer even admits as much, though blames it all on the mean publisher making him do it since RTSes didn't sell at the time.

Like, I get that it's because it's from 2004, and I'm running a general 40hz cap on my system, but I played a good hour of Half Life 2 last night (unf, gyro aiming  ) and my battery went down MAYBE 15-20%.Older games really are are new again. I've beaten HL2 countless times (twice on the OG Xbox), but now, it's time to finally get all the achievements. I checked, and the first achievement I got in that game was 12 years ago. Wow. Edit: I still hate Water Hazard. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Oct 13, 2022 |

I beat Doom 2016 last night. I borrowed a copy on PS4 when it came out but never beat it because it overheated it. (Mostly my fault, I’m sure it was clogged with dust.) Doom 2016 was great. Just started Doom Eternal. I played a bit on PS5 but I wasn’t vibing with it at the time, but I think I’ll probably enjoy it more now fresh off of 2016.

Decided to install Endless Space 2 and encountered a number of problems. First and foremost, all the cutscenes are UPSIDE DOWN, it's so weird. I get frequent crashes (the only game in my library that crashed on the Deck). Controls feel finicky, and for some reason the game is really demanding power wise. Which is a shame, because it's a fun, chill game. I have Stellaris, which runs better and is a similar type of game. but it's real time which feels more hectic, less story driven and the races are more archetypal and interchangeable compared to ES2 where they have very distinct gimmicks.

The smell reminds me of the old Xbox controller's weird plastic memory card holes. So I guess plastic. But it's wierldy nostalgic because apparently I can't quit huffing plastic holes.

Party Boat posted:So, quick trip report - MGS2 PC with V's Fix seems to be a pain to get running on the Deck. This reddit poster claims to have got it working but it sounds like a level of tinkering beyond what I'm prepared to engage in: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/whhdfo/metal_gear_solid_2_vs_fix/ijoo4i9?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 Ah okay yeah that seems like probably more work than it’s worth.

Finally got Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition working last night. Ended up being a bit of a pain in the rear end but I'm glad I did it. Sitting in bed with my headphones last night with it was very absorbing. https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/wzurx1/the_definitive_guide_to_setting_up_silent_hill_14/

Atomizer posted:What was the problem with the demo? The demo was mostly fine but it ended just before the major RTS stuff came into play so a lot of people were surprised and annoyed that it became an RTS when the game came out. Lots of people called it a bait and switch and other stuff like that simply because the demo was mostly a hack and slash with light RTS elements and the game itself was the exact opposite once it got going. I think the game was great fun and the RTS elements, while extremely simple, were well done. The music and voice acting and story were all pretty great and it had the usual double fine humor which I really enjoyed.

The demo was entirely a hack and slash. The game was fine, I bought it day one after being pretty hyped for it since I’m a big metal head, but let’s not start trying to rewrite history and make out it was a case of people not paying enough attention. They couldn’t have hidden the RTS stuff better if they tried (because they already tried and succeeded).

sigher posted:First point, I meant Dock, the Deck is perfect, but I'm hitting issues all around with the Dock. I don't have an adapter, I'm just using the ports on the Dock with an HDMI/DP cables to connect 2 monitors. On HDMI it's a 1440p@144hz, on DP it's 1080p@144hz. I can't select 144hz for either I don't think, I for sure can't set it for the HDMI port. Steam Dock specs says "Supports up to 4k 60hz, or 1440p 120hz" so I don't think you're gonna get 1440p@144hz. (My Deck/Dock is only out for delivery today (woo!) so I don't know anything first hand, but I hadn't read any specs that led me to believe either device supported 144hz?)

History Comes Inside! posted:The demo was entirely a hack and slash. I thought it had a hinting at the RTS elements right at the end but I haven't played the demo since it came so I must be wrong. Either way, the RTS elements weren't advertised very well, if at all, and people got pissed because of that. Edit: Out of curiosity I watched the end of someone's video of the demo and the end trailer technically has some RTS action in it but without any context so you wouldn't have any idea that it's the RTS stuff at the time.

Either way, the RTS elements weren't advertised very well, if at all, and people got pissed because of that. I vaguely recall hearing during the hype that the game was going to blend genres and have all sorts of different levels with different gameplay styles -including the fan theory of rhythm game segments like rockband. Wikipedia says it was never envisioned with more genre hopping, but they did consider rockband stuff and dropped it, since switching controllers would be awkward. Though the source is a Tim Schafer retrospective interview years later, so I imagine there's a lot of spin there.
