Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound? in c/Steamdeck@kbin.social
[–] hellerphant@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I think this is the best solution for these situations. I have a pair of aeroshokz and they do seem to work pretty well.

I think a crucial component is where I say watching TV passively etc. I use headphones when I am focusing on playing games only.

Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound? (kbin.social)
 

I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result.

Am I just weird?

Splatoon fans? in c/gaming@kbin.social
[–] hellerphant@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Splatoon but like others here have said, I’m a casual player. Work and life is too busy for me to dive too heavy into it. Just love it’s vibe and gameplay ideas though.

Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March? in c/PCGaming@kbin.social

While this is true, that steam sale is calling my name! Thanks for the thoughts. Maybe I will hold on it for a while.

Two years?! How long is the game haha! If it is two years long then I will probably never even get to the DLC haha!

Tacoma and Gone Home are more walking g simulators, but I get it!

The Forgotten City was a pretty mind bending game. Also a lot of folks like The Witcher 3 from a narrative stance. Not really my jam though.

Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March? (kbin.social)
 

Hi folks! Picked up Pillars of Eternity and am planning to play through it on my Steam Deck during a recovery period in hospital. This is my first CRPG style game, and I am pretty new when it comes to fantasy settings as I have typically been more into Sci-Fi and shooters.

Is the White March DLC worth getting? Or should I play the base game and then if I actually really enjoy the game, add the DLC into the mix at the end game? I am seeing some conflicting reports.

I have already spent my meager budget in the Steam sale (surgery has wiped my savings) so I am wondering if I stretch to grab this. I see PoE 2 is also on a deep discount, but I think I will have to wait for that one.

July 2023 Humble Choice in c/PCGaming@kbin.social
[–] hellerphant@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I was pretty happy about this. Even though I have Outer Worlds on Gamepass, now I can easily play it on the go with my Steam Deck, so not mad about that at all!

A lot of great games already mentioned here. If you want to try something a little different. Yakuza 0 has a bonkers story that is weird and wonderful, but very Japanese.

Tacoma and Gone Home are great stories and well worth a look.

I also rate the Max Payne series for some pulpy fun story with lots of shooty in between.

Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content in c/gaming@kbin.social
[–] hellerphant@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Came here to say exactly this. I don’t like Kotaku, and think that the AI is probably doing a better job. But this does not bode well for other publications.

Is Overwatch just completely dead? (kbin.social)
 

So the recent bad news about Overwatch 2’s PvE cancellation was really disappointing, but honestly it kinda just reminded me that I hadn’t played OW2 in a long while, so I decided to jump in and just play some games.

Queue times for Ranked Any Role is 8-15 mins. Even Quick Play Any Role is giving me queue times of 5+ mins.

I’m in Japan but that also usually means I can get games in Australia and Korea. At launch I was getting games in seconds. Now it just kinda feels dead.

They just launched the new season too, which begs the question if I was silly enough to buy the Battlepass… how could I even go about completing it.

I understand the Blizzard hate here, but I would also be quite sad to see the game just disappear and not have further development to improve it. Is this just a my region problem, or is this common globally?
