This may overlap a lot with the discussion on what people are buying during the Steam sale discussion, but here it is anyways.
Got my hand on a free copy of dredge last week, so i’ll play that for a while.
I’m still mostly playing doom 2016.
I had a twenty year break from gaming and I’ve been trying to catch up since I got the steam deck but I remain pretty crap. I’m playing doom on little bitch mode and still finding it a challenge. I’m about half way through, I don’t get a lot of gaming time.
I keep starting other games but not getting into them. But I think I’m gonna give dishonoured a try too.
Steam deck is probably the best machine I’ve bought in years.
Tomb raider GOTY through the heroic launcher.
I spend hours setting up mods for games I’ve never played before so I can play the “best” version of it just to either get it working and play for a hell of a lot less time than I spent setting it up or giving up and going back to one of my comfort games.
Warzone 2100. You gotta dl it through the steamos explorer, but its fantastic on the handheld once you configure the controls
Mad Max, snatched it for 2 bucks during the sale. Pretty good and chill game and well worth its price.
After finally upgrading to a 1TB ssd yesterday, I can finally splurge on some bigger games.
So right now I’m mostly playing vampire survivors
I get what you’re saying, but the sentence order definitely sounds like you needed to upgrade to 1TB of storage in order to play bigger games like Vampire Survivors.
it was a little bit intended as the joke (although a true one)
Fallout New Vegas with Viva Las Vegas. Plays great.
Still playing Helldivers 2 since I got it. Fun game that
Thanks for the suggestion of helldivers, I got in enough training on bots and droids just before the illuminate showed up. Had a blast mowing them down with my machine gun and orbital laser!
Super Earth thanks you for your service, Helldiver!
Hopefully, they are back soon. Had a blast getting mowed down by the harvester lasers from outta nowhere and learning how to fight something completely foreign
I’m tempted, how is it in the deck, fps seems hard to do with it mouse and keyboard
I play level 8 without any real issues. It has a deck preset for graphics now. It definitely isn’t a stable 30 but it is in now way unplayable. I routinely walk away with a death or two plus about 550 kills vs both bots and bugs.
It ain’t the prettiest game especially when played on a TV but I’ve been gaming for 30 years and it doesn’t bother me anymore if a game isn’t the sleekest looking. That said, if you only play handheld, it still looks pretty remarkable. And I have no issue using a controller since it was built for PS5
Alright, I caved… I’m a level 11 cadet now, or works on the deck, and I’m having fun. I’m ready to move out of medium difficulty, I just need to squad up with good players, which had been hit or miss so far with the low level players.
So you know how to push to talk on the deck?
I don’t. But you can assign a key (paddle?) to it.
Edit: just checked - go to options -> controller -> change bindings -> then it’s in the communication tab (third one).
I’d recommend binding your l4 to the select button, r4 to start, and r5 to left bumper. Makes it much easier to call in strategems and use the map during play. Use l5 to open comms then
Also change the grenade key to tap right bumper and unmap it from the right arrow d-pad button then change the right d-pad button to mark. If you don’t unbind it, you’ll mark and throw a grenade at the same time
Thanks! I figured out how to do PTT, and m definitely going to remap what you said because I was finding the disconnect between using those defaults to be problematic. I kept grenading big holes but finding it awkward to switch back to a weapon before I got swarmed, or calling in strategems means I stand there like a doofus starting at my wrist while I up down left right, etc. Meanwhile, hoards are swarming me
I also hate how the default was push to pull out grenades. Before I made it tap to throw and then the gun comes back out, I’d blow myself up way more than I care to admit lol
I actually didn’t understand this part of your config… I tried to do it but my left dpad is needed for strategems… And I ended up in game without being able to use any that required left to call lol
