birthday was last week, got enough steam gift cards from friends + my savings I use for buying stupid toys to buy a steam deck. Ordered it on Saturday. I'm holding it now. I remember these things being "order it now, get it next quarter" a year or so ago, and it said 2 weeks shipping on Steam itself. Wtf.

this owns, can't wait to play all my silly little metroidvanias on the go

E: I never knew I needed paddles on controller grips until I got an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller on my bday itself, mapped a couple face buttons to the two of them and loved the hell out of it. this thing has FOUR?! :eyepop:

What's the deal with that GeForce leak anyway? As far as I know none of those games are playable on GeForce now. Did they get punished for leaking and have them withheld?

New DLC for Heavenly Bodies came out today, game was a riot with a friend so I can't wait for more of it. They have 4p co-op now as well which seems insane considering how annoying (in a good way) it is with only two people.

nvidia offers a private version of geforce now to allow PC games to be playtested remotely, so the games might have been on there for that purpose

I understand why they release bundles like these to ride the wave of new release hype but who are the people going "welp Baldur's Gate 3 is out in a week, but first it's time to play 250+ hours of these 25 year-old RPGs with the most legendary janky rear end gameplay you've ever seen."

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
Nowadays I rarely buy games to immediately play them. I buy them when they’re cheap, not necessarily when I want to play them.

Someone mentioned annoying nav controls earlier, and I gotta say -- :argh: Games where you can't cycle from the left-most option to the right-most with another tape of Q or vice versa with E :argh:

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

I notice the bundle is basically a $12 bundle for 8 classic D&D-turned-videogame ones, and a whole other tier for $18 to get Mythforce. Anyone know anything about that game, besides the obvious? (From the trailer, it looks like Hexen in 1980s cartoon style, basically?)

The one thing I saw missing from that trailer was vehicles. Helldiver without vehicles means fewer chances to accidentally run your whole team over.

i dunno if they announced the launch price anywhere but it is not on the steam page so its hard to judge the bundle value here. theres a demo for it though.

it strikes me as kind of weird to put a game in a bundle before it even launches. like they have no faith in it launching well or something.

I know Sony published Bloodborne, but does that necessarily mean they have the rights to publish Bloodborne on other platforms? FROM Software is the developer, and they may just not have the resources to make it happen. They are busy with other things. Does Sony have the rights to shop Bloodborne around and have another developer do it?
It's the same situation as Demon's Souls. If another dev did it, it would probably be Bluepoint. As far as I know Fromsoft doesn't have the right to do anything with Bloodborne if they wanted to.

But also these have gone so aggressively on sale so often that it's hard to imagine anyone being both interested and not already having them. Wild.

It's me! I have never played any of those games, they've always been vaguely on my list but never got around to it, and they never came up in a sale at a time where I was in the mood to commit. But I'll impulse buy them now to play in winter, since I won't get baldur's gate 3 until it drops significantly in price after a long time

So I reckon I'll grab these and add them to the ever growing pile of classic games that, from time to time, in the depths of winter, I whip out and work through

Played Mythforce at NextFest, came across as a stylishly-presented, but mediocre-to-play 80's saturday morning cartoon version of Gunfire Reborn.

Echoing this sentiment as well: goofy and stylish on the surface, but the actual gameplay felt quite mediocre and nothing to write home about. I wouldn't feel any compulsion to put in the extra money into that bundle just to get it.

Wrath of the Righteous fairly new and good value, so I assume you're also paying for that.

At least we get a new Forza Motorsport this year, but that game has raised a lot of red flags with me. Small selection of tracks, and the RPG mechanics for cars hasn’t been very convincing when turn10 describes it.

it's kind of wild how they let the licenses for forza motorsport 7 expire and delisted it from stores when it was still the most recent entry in the series

there's a two year gap where you just can't/couldn't buy a forza motorsport game, any of them
