Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

I am! I'm actually playing the Elder Scrolls Online via moonlight streaming.

Trying to work through my backlog. I've just started A Hat In Time and enjoying it so far.

[–] IncrediblyIncredible@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Raises hand playing God of War 2018. Think I’m going to play Bulletstorm next. Not enough time to play all the games I’d like to.

I'm not so active with mine at the moment since I have a desktop computer, but back when I was recovering from a knee injury away from home, it was not just most of my gaming, but also my personal computer for most tasks, via a USB-C hub hooking it up to the keyboard and monitors I was using for work. I ended up completing a personal image editing project using GIMP installed in its desktop mode.

Another one here! Mostly playing Witcher 3 at the moment. And before that Disco Elysium.

I've been gaming on Linux for umm about ten years? Before that it was on FreeBSD and before that, it was on Atari ST. It feels so weird to finally be playing the same games as everyone else. Thanks Steam Deckers.

If anyone wants to spin up a private server and host some kind of game, I'll join your world! 7dtd is dropping a new release tomorrow.

I've been playing Diablo 4 as well as modded Minecraft with my wife lately. I have tears of the kingdom installed to play next. Diablo and Minecraft run surprisingly well with little/no additional tinkering once the initial set up is done

It has become my Dinkum machine. So great to have a system you can just suspend and pick back up again. Aside from that I've been playing Cult of the Lamb on it. The deck seems to be the perfect fit for indie games.

[–] CaptainEffort@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I got mine last July, and it’s quickly become my favorite “console” of all time. Rn I’m playing Fallout New Vegas and emulating some older Monster Hunter games.

[–] Essential7220@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Fallout 4.

Two weeks ago I came across a Fallout 4 video on YouTube. It brought back memories! I am a grown ass man now and don't have time sitting in front of a PC or console all day, so I bought a second hand Steam Deck for the job.

Playing Persona 5 Strikers and constantly feeling withdrawal as I want to get to NEO:The World Ends With You after playing the DS original. Which I feel like is in the spirit of patient gaming, because while the game is like 2 years old, I got into this situation for playing a 15 year old game.

[–] sly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not played it on my deck yet, but I heard a LOT about Hades being amazing on Deck... I bought it the other day and played it a stupid amount over the weekend on my desktop in glorious 240FPS. Apparently it runs at a locked 60 on Deck!

Happy to be here. Vampire survivors for me, lol.

Wanna get into God of War, though

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (8 children)

I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.

I've been playing L.A. Noire @45 fps with an fps unlocked and it's been fantastic.

Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake right now. I'm amazed at the graphics and how smoothly it runs for me. First Resident Evil game I've played, and it is so so scary!

So far I'm enjoying it though. The darkness, the lights and fires make it look so pretty and atmospheric

[–] TableBreaker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I had been playing hollow knight, but then I got yuzu and Zelda: tears of the kingdom. It's been awesome.

[–] Joker@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

[–] akari@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just found out recently that "NBA Jam" (SNES) has a romhack online with updated rosters, so I've been reliving my childhood playing it. Aside from that, I'm a JRPG fan, so I started Terranigma (SNES) for the first time.

Vampire Survivors, and Pico-8 games via Emudeck. Once I'm bored of those I plan to spend a bit more time with Snowrunner. I've never really got into it, but it looks like my sort of game.

[–] mori@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Dead Cells, Hades, Going Under, Enter the Gungeon, and a few rhythm games. Only really use it while traveling for work, partner uses it a lot more then I do.

[–] hellerphant@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I’m currently playing Persona 5, it’s a good game. If you haven't already, play MGS:V it’s an incredible experience on the steam deck.

[–] dtlnx@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Currently playing through Halo Reach. I've never played the series before, and so far I'm really liking it. Even though it is marked as playable, the only slight slowdown was signing into Microsoft, which wasn't too bad even.

[–] devilsgarage@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’ve been playing Freeways and Graveyard Keeper on my steam deck, and I’m glad the controls feels tight.

[–] Veritrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just got off a huge Hades kick. Currently I'm working through Doom 2016 again, and I'm planning Doom Eternal next since I just got the DLC. After that is probably Cyberpunk 2077. I bought it on release and dropped it after a couple weeks, so I'm excited to see how it plays now with a couple years of updates, and also because the expansion is coming.

[–] sirfig@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

As I don't own a playstation I am playing the horizon zero dawn game, it is quite good. I will probably then play the final fantasy remake.
