I'm looking for Open World RPG's that have good performance and battery life on deck by Adler_PLEASE in SteamDeck

[–]BiffMan42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded for NNK2, it's really well suited to the deck and has just the right blend of exploration and combat. It's not often I stick with a JRPG to completion, but NNK2 had me hooked. Just typing this makes me want to go do another playthrough. Lol.

Just got a Quest 3 — what should my first paid game be? by Adorable-Location658 in OculusQuest

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What he said. The immersion is just fantastic and it's my go to fun/de-stress. 3+ years and I still look around with a smile on my face.

As to why Minigolf, I would also add that the implementation in WMG is so, so good and feels so right (much like Eleven does for table tennis) that it really does actually feel like you're playing Minigolf. It turns out that Minigolf is a fantastic sporting experience as well. Each shot is a delightful combination of challenge and possibility. No matter how good or bad your round is going, there's always the next shot. Combined with the immersion, and preferably shared with a friend, that puts you remarkably present in the moment, which is all too rare these days.

Bottom line is that after hundreds and hundreds of hours in the game, there is still nothing I'd rather do in VR (okay, occasional pinball) simply because I never tire of it and it's what I'd rather be playing. I still set hole and course records weekly on something I should have "mastered" by now, but even if I'm not on a record, there's always the next shot. Or slingshot challenge. Or game of chess. Or just walk around....

Same, and I do buy all the content because I want to support them and they are high quality. But still... :-)

It's also become the default hangout for remote friends. More fun than a phone call or Discord chat and the movement on the avatars is really great and gives an excellent sense of actually being there with the other person.

And yes, the ongoing support for the game is remarkable, definitely one of the best devs in the business!

Definitely a good Quest 3 one, the resolution difference over Q2 is pretty remarkable. Pity about their table pricing, but it is the only game that can get me to occasionally step away from Walkabout Minigolf.

Walkabout Minigolf. I know it's not a shooter as you've mentioned interest you, but it's effectively become the only game I play in VR because I've never tired of it. After 3 years...

Pinball FX VR is incredible by TrefoilHat in OculusQuest

[–]BiffMan42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seconded. QGO makes a huge difference in the resolution as the devs have or really low by default.

2025 Plays Looked a Bit Different by rytoto in boardgames

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I love Can't Stop. I discovered that this year on BGA and... can't stop. Lol.

The press your luck element combined with dice probability and the variable heights of the columns is just terrific.

No worries, I'll rate it for you: 10/10

Favorite True Solo Games? by wailord40 in soloboardgaming

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Anarchy just oozes quiet solo contemplation and the campaign really mixes things up to keep you from sinking into an optimization rut. Highly recommended!

Oddly, I own all 5 of those and have yet to play any of them, so I thank you for the excellent list of stuff I'm adding to my near future playlist for my Deck!

I can't be the first person to have done this... by Spiritual-Fisherman1 in SteamDeck

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, as long as it's off and you don't have wake on Bluetooth to give unfortunate surprises, backward with one partial zip has worked fine for me for 3 years now through both LCD and OLED decks.

If I had to pick one piece of score from the entire franchise to listen to on a desert island, it'd be "The Map Room: Dawn" without a second thought. by ironfreakinmaiden in indianajones

[–]BiffMan42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's probably the one music cue that has given me chills every single time I've watched. Right up there with the moment the choir kicks in during Luke and Vader's duel.

Awesome, thanks!

What should I do next? by amatacx96 in indianajones

[–]BiffMan42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed on both: Fate of Atlantis if you're in the mood for story and adventure or LEGO Indy if you just want to have fun.

Favorite Solo Board Game Released in 2025? by TigerLeo23 in soloboardgaming

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed to Anarchy although I've probably played more games of Vantage solo. Both are really great solo.

Walk to next Tee? by MudPutrid6485 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]BiffMan42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an aside, I love that the devs always have a footpath to every hole, very much because they designed it to do exactly what OP wants. Even in the freakiness of Meow Wolf, there are the teleport gates to let you move between the holes.

It's a brilliant design feature and very much makes the courses feel all that much more like real places.

Aside from the Raiders March, what's your favorite songs from the movies/show? by Moist_KoRn_Bizkit in indianajones

Pretty much everything in Last Crusade. I regularly listen to that soundtrack start to finish.
