 Because of course. You have a mind-reading psychopath, a homicidal fat man on rollerskates, a 100+ year old man who survives on photosynthesis, and a mute woman who breathes through her skin. That's Yeah that cutscene is definitely

The scene with Quiet and Snake laughing and splashing in the rain was the one that came to mind. I think I had selective-memoried the shower scene lol.

Not strictly Deck related, but an amusing anecdote: I often have Amazon packages delivered to Whole Foods. I was shopping there the other day when I checked to see if I had any unclaimed packages (Amazon doesn't do a great job of surfacing items available for pickup if they're old olders) and they handed me four Switch games that (i) I had totally forgotten I preordered, and (ii) three of which I already have on my Deck (and the fourth is on a week-long Steam sale). So now I have to return all of them. For the curious they were:
When Valve announced the Deck it changed my habits a bit. I figured if this thing ends up anywhere close to what they promise I might finally convert to digital and make purchases Steam first. When I received my Deck last July my expectations were blown away, not only by its generally quite-good compatibility with Steam titles but everything else it does too. I also didn't realize that, while Steam games see frequent sales, that the official key retailers (GMG, etc.) will often have 10-15% or more discounts even on release day for new titles. Somehow I ended up getting GMG XP without really trying so that's 20-22% now (this may have had to do with receiving my Deck in the middle of GMG's summer sale and making a fair bit of purchases at that time). Needless to say my purchase habits have changed dramatically and I stopped preordering Switch games on Amazon. Over time though I forgot about the ones still in the pipe though. Octopath is especially amusing here. I'm sure the game plays great on the Switch, but I bought it for the Deck due to the aforementioned 22% discount, but also because it (can) run at 60 FPS and I'm tired of Switch games that are locked to 30 (and often struggle with that). First thing I did when I booted it though was notice it draws like 15W at 60 FPS, and it's the kind of game where it really doesn't need to run at that frame rate, so I turned it down to 30 to save considerable battery. I guess I like options?

ExcessBLarg! posted:[ ✂️ snip ✂️] Yeah, battery life isn't astounding. However, just like the Switch (which I haven't played since December), the fact that I can do high-quality gaming on the go more than makes up for the battery life being an issue.

It's the Dreck, of course there are lots of scaling settings. But you're fine just putting it on FSR and not worrying about it

I got a cheapo third-party one (the official dock is overpriced IMO) and it just works, mostly. Occasionally I'll have to unplug/replug deck from dock when I launch a game for some reason, but I dunno if that also applies to the official one. The most complicated part was making sure my BT controller and headphones worked properly.

She's like a plant, basically. I'm pretty sure Kojima said a few times that part of the point of Quiet was that he wanted to see cosplays of her. Also this is quite possibly one of the funniest tweets of all time https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/376424398023962624?s=20 Nancy fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Mar 1, 2023 |

RandolphCarter posted:I haven’t hooked my deck up to a tv yet, any thing special I should do/know? The one thing that comes to mind is that tvs tend to dislike 40Hz, so if that's what your deck is permaset at (mine is), make sure you switch back to 60Hz or the tv will refuse the resolution whenever you launch a game, and you'll end up wasting far too much time trying to use all the resolution options. And obviously, switch back to 40Hz once you're unplugged as it does wonder for the battery.

I think I have one of those Apple made USB-c dongles to HDMI and another USB-c port around here in one of my drawers. Has anyone ever used that. I assume it would be barely adequate.

Bumhead posted:I got about 80 hours of GOAT-tier gameplay out of MGSV. I thought the game part of it was incredible. The model swap of Ocelot doing Quiet's water splash scene singlehandedly makes it false that it's the worst thing the medium has ever produced, as beautiful art was made from it's parts.

I couldn’t get into MGSV Something about the world being so huge made keeping track of enemies and finding sensible routes to actually be stealthy feel more overwhelming than open, compared to the design of the other games

History Comes Inside! posted:I couldn’t get into MGSV I think I'll be going through it for a very, very long time, treating it like the stealth-based sandbox it so proudly seems to be. So, my first time through (GZ, at least), I'm just trying my best to accomplish the objective, that's it. Later on, I'll get fancy/SUPER dumb.

History Comes Inside! posted:I couldn’t get into MGSV All of these problems introduced just provided new tools and toys and opportunities to do things about and with, that wouldn't work on the older games designs with predetermined routes with some room for breaking or experimenting. Trying to approach a new place, you could sprint in to about where you know you're out of range and then start scoping out a path to sneak in. You could roll in with your mini mech to do the same, or have vehicles airdropped in, or hijack one and roll into the base in plain sight. You could also have yourself shipped in a box into the middle of a base from somewhere else on the map. Could also ride your horse but kind of lean away and surprisingly get by more than you think. Keeping track of enemies is also a big space for gameplay, I bounced a lot between using Quiet as a spotter and d-dog for more interior spaces or close up missions. Quiet was also OP and could single handedly tranq entire bases, with the downside being hearing the same short snippet of a song being hummed repeatedly but never finishing or progressing. You also just get so many more ways to sneak, distract, and eliminate enemies for every situation it's pretty wild. One of my favourite missions to complete stealthily involves fultoning a whole tank battalion and escort, having to learn the routes to plant mines or blow up dolls to stall and distract armoured vehicles so you can stick a little balloon on them all without being seen... Probably one of the harder missions to do with best rank but soo satisfying when you finally bag em all.
