You want a game that will shine* on the Steam Deck? Get yourself Vampire Survivors.











*quick search says the frame rate tanks, but whatever. It only cost $2.69 and it rules.

Enemies reading input is just revenge for us using it against Gwyn and Fume Knight

I think Switch will tide me over for travel, but I am going to keep an eye on it.

I take it back. I would highly recommend the Steam Deck.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 moved up to July release. Refreshing seeing something moved up.

I knew I wasn’t tripping

Since I kinda cheesed Malenia on the first playthrough by spamming the blood swarm incantation a lot, I figured I'd fight her for real this time.
Going for the lord of frenzy ending on this playthrough and the Magma Swords have been really fun

Need to boot back up ER. On one of those situations where I don’t really know what I want to do next.

There’s a version of the “let me solo her “ summoner on Xbox millennia fight . Bruh took care of that for me early this evening no issue lol .

I’m not the biggest Chrono Trigger (actually think it’s a tad bit overrated) but was listening to some VGM and this popped up. Now I got that urge to play

 

[Bad Religion]

Was in Quebec this week for work. Of all the games I want to play, I got sucked into the Triangle Strategy demo.

The game is so GOOD! About to go get the full version regardless of price.

[Bad Religion]

Right?

I have 3 of the 6 already downloaded on my PS4.

I an sure we will see more added. Interesting we dont see any of SE's plethora of games. I wonder if we should read into that at all.

The press release mentioned something about having 300 games at launch and that these were just a “preview”. Honestly though, the way they released this news with all the different platforms + Ubisoft+ etc. left me so confused that I decided to not even read into it and just see what they have when it launches. Only Sony could mess this up

Did input reading start with this game? I swear bosses did it in Sekiro too.

They def did in sekiro. The giant ghost stayed murking me as I tried to heal.

This game was pretty awful...Waited for so damn long for it too Better than 13, but that ain't saying much.

 

[Bad Religion]

I wouldnt call it awful. I think having played XIV online, there is alot of things that worked as a natural progression. And much of the pacing issues were fixed via patch.

Its in the middle of the pack in my opinion.

Did you play the royal edition? Because that took the game to a solid 8.5 for me.

Everything after IX was a letdown IMO. I enjoyed parts of X and XII, but they still weren't on the level of 7/8/9 for me.

Nah, I thought about it, but honestly been disappointed with Square so much over the last 10-15 years that I didn't want to give them more money lol. Heard it definitely made an improvement, might grab it down the line just for collections sake since I have almost all the others.
