Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Spider-Man is good too if you haven't played it yet. Runs well on the Steam Deck.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 1 points 10 months ago

Spider-Man Remastered was indeed great! I beat it then went right to Miles Morales. It’s been a Spider-Man kick here haha!

[–] freakrho@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

I played it twice in a weekend, so be ready to wait

I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

[–] dannydotcafe@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago (7 children)

For a long time I went down crazy modding rabbit holes for the fallout games, spending more time modding than actually playing. I finally decided to just pick a setup and stick with it so I could actually enjoy the game. I ended up following this guy's modlist which has a nice focus on the essentials.

[–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A bit late, but this list has a number of issues, notably things like ENB. For anyone wanting a minimal mod list, Viva New Vegas is the gold standard.

[–] dannydotcafe@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I definitely won't dispute that Viva New Vegas is a gold standard, but with the number of mods that even the base setup pulls in I wouldn't really call it minimal. I think the person who was asking (and me, the last time I played NV) just wanted a simple set of mods that did the most to improve the experience, which I think that list accomplished better than the others I'd looked at.

Apart from ENB, do you know what the other problems are? I'd guess mostly the result of it being a few years out of date, but genuinely curious!

[–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Asterra's and WMIM have bugs associated with them.

VNV is very lightweight, and VNV extended is unnecessary if you don't want to do the whole guide. It really is the gold standard for a reason, the input is as low as it can be for a maximum output, which I'd argue is important for most people, especially considering the problems the Vanilla game has.

It's all up to you, of course! You can probably use Wabbajack if you wanted to, I don't actually have a Deck yet but that's what I'll do once I grab the OLED model today and it finally arrives.

My Steam Deck is a "Baba is me" machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

So frustrating at times! Some of the harder puzzles are ridiculously convoluted

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

Deck is currently being borrowed by my dad to play Zero Dawn, but last I had it, I was using it for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

[–] smort@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that sounds awful. Reminds me of shitty mobile games.

[–] smort@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.

But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I've played for several weeks 😅 Game is fun :b

[–] adam@kbin.pieho.me 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Finally got around to playing Carrion. It's a great game for the deck and is a massive amount of fun.

Binding of isaac

[–] thetokenlady@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

Spiritfarer, which looks like it’s related to Stardew Valley, but turns pretty damn dark at times. Also Baldur’s Gate 3, Stray and Hollow Knight.

BG3 really needs to be played plugged in as it eats battery like crazy and also helps with a bigger screen. At which point I might as well go down to the big computer.

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Ni No Kuni II. It's a fun RPG that's easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Tomb raider 2013. Doing solo at 100%

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A friend got me into Honkai Star Rail, so that's been taking up most of my time.

Other than that, I've also been playing Black Mesa and Trolley Delayma which is a free little trolley problem game.

I'm still putting off Baldur's Gate 3 hoping for FSR 2 to be added, but with silence from the devs on when/if that's being added, I'll probably go ahead and start playing it soon.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How did you get HSR running on a Steam Deck?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

There's a 3rd party launcher for it. They've asked people not to link it publicly, so I'll send you a DM.

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 2 points 10 months ago
[–] kerf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I hope to play some more Baldur's Gate III. I'll probably stream it from my main computer since the fan noise is so loud otherwise. It's been a while since tried to run it on the Steam Deck so there might have been some updates, gonna try it again! I'll probably make some progress in Stardew Valley and Hades too, both wonderful games for the Deck!

[–] i_am_hungry@meganice.online 3 points 10 months ago

Dave the diver, casual enough to play just before going to sleep.

[–] Cuttlersan@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Been rocking out with Songs of Syx, a rather fun little city builder/colony management/4X mashup. Gotta admit I’m getting back into strategy games with the touchpad lol

[–] Bender12@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Trails into Reverie. Then onto Kuro No Kiseki.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Still Baldur's Gate 3. And a little bit of Untitled Goose Game on the side.

Just started playing Slime Rancher and it's a pretty fun relaxing game. I picked up Slime Rancher 2 as well but am waiting until I finish the first game to start playing it again.

[–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Played most of COCOON during a recent airplane round-trip. Also started Pocket Mirror, I got an RPG Maker fever after playing Corpse Party.

[–] zipkag@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it

[–] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

still vampire survivors 😵‍💫

[–] hurricane155@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

High on life since I don't get to play much but have a marginal stack of games to get through. Good game so far and very witty

Hollow Knight.

I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.

What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.

[–] geemili@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Factorio and I just picked up a game called Outpath (similar to Forager, but in 3d! and other minor changes).

[–] NabeGewell@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No Man's Sky for few months now.

Also started Hellblade, its very easy to get stuck in that game it seems

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I had to break myself away from No Man's Sky after about 100 hours or so, felt like it would completely consume me.

[–] NabeGewell@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not as "bad" as rimworld, unlike nms that game requires attention all the time, and is even more addicting to me :D

literally got in the way of normal life and created temporary issues

[–] OmnislashIsACloudApp@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck

[–] Kobaltauge@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Still Lonely Mountains: Downhill And newly bought Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

[–] sunred@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

I recently discovered Tinykin, neat little game.
