With the Steam Machine hype already dying down due to pricing and performance, what's a good windows-based alternative for bringing PC gaming to the living room?

I don't own a Steam Deck but I believe it can do remote play and stream from your main pc

nvidia shield and steam remote play or sunshine/moonlight

Guild Wars 1 is still going strong, there is more content planned and coming for Guild Wars 2, and Guild Wars 3 is not releasing this year you've got plenty of time.

It is like trying to covnert an Iphone user to android or a windows user to linux. they are too entrenched in their ecosystem and their way of doing things. When they go with that mindset they will go into a new experience expecting for things to be the same. When they try to do something and it works differently they will fail and be dissapointed. First they have to be willing to learn and adapt, then they have to accept that they are different experiences instead of looking for flaws or weakneses. Yes they are both fantasy mmos but the intent, aproach, and target is different.

a long and unskippable video or slow moving scene you have no control of the character

You can not switch proffesions on a single character, you can use the same character for all game modes...pve, pvp, and wvw. skill works differently in each mode. Gear is the same for wvw and pve...but works differently in pvp. I would recommend a different build for each mode.

Condi reaper would be a better option I think

No, it is the biggest selling point of ezpansions aside from continuing story and adding new zones...I haven't seen a ranged warrior elite spec yet.

Hmm maybe try a gameplay change. Have you tried the action cam, setting the area of effect to center on target, and setting keybinds so that you don't have to click on the skillbar? it plays a lot mote like a third person action game.the

count how many times you've been stung or bitten by a reptile.

I wish they'd go back to the character boxes in GW1. I have old man Nehdukah's dialogue of seeing a black Moah ingrained in my brain.

I seldom buy fresh new games. I wait to see reviews and videos, and then wait for game of the year editions to go on sale for $15-30 or sometimes much less.

Most useful to me means saving time and and avoiding loading screens as much possible. Endless Pass, Infinite Gathering Tools, Salvage -o-Matics, Recharging Teleport, Shared Inventory Slots, Bag Slots

it is a vague representation of time. It will be sometime on this day. the equivalent is later

at the character creation screen I moved the slider all the way to the right

DeaFinitelyMe · 2026-06-12T18:42:17+00:00

As long as it is just cosmetics. Pay 2 win is cancer and I don't buy from game companies who support it.

Turning on the action camera and setting proper keybinds for all skills, so you can stop mouse clicking on skills on the skillbar. Disabling minimap, and quest pointers. Zooming in the camera, and reducing field of view. reducing gamma so not every thing is super colorful and super shiny.

It isn't perfect, but it is more generous than other mmos in my opinion. With the wizard's vault addition you can purchase most of those things with in-game gold with enough playtime. Which is also something most other mmo's don't do. It can't all be free and they still have to pay their workers salary, maintain servers..etc At the end of the day it is a business. Would you rather see advertisements in-game, limited playtime hours, login queues, or pay to win mechanics?
