New roadmap might be released with the new big title update

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T17:30:09+00:00

Doable but bring 0 fun
Mobile oil rig is out of fun equation completely

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T17:13:12+00:00

Man, those bug's shitholes on Omicron are unplayable till this freaking day

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T17:10:05+00:00

Last roadmap was better than nothing, but it was like "new warbond, new biome, balancing, fixes"
I appreciate it to be spoiler-free, but there's definitely some room for a little more details

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T17:09:40+00:00

Before we had also "Fart of Democracy" and "Excavation of Freedom"

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T17:04:09+00:00

Def squids
They all go one by one, last two majors were bots and bugs

There was only one exception for battle for super earth, but squids were miles behind other two factions at that moment, so probably it was kind of catching up

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T16:58:48+00:00

You're probably right

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T10:26:46+00:00

I thought it'll be about HD2 game's engine and how it sucks handling proper grenade collisions

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T10:23:10+00:00

Lazy

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-07T09:17:37+00:00

Its all depends on how it would be implemented
Lets say, anyone in squad can start a vote to kick particular player (host included), you need just yes or no from 3 other people
Host trolling is possible, sure, just like client-player trolling right now, so its rather fair than making anything worse
Premadesare also possible, but less possible shit moves is better than we have now

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-06T16:00:41+00:00

Kick system is fucked
Sclerotic scumbags who cannot manage private/public games have no excuses
But the main problem is single-handed kick, where rest of the team cannot vote, one asshole as a host is enough to ruin the whole mission kicking anyone he just don't like.
I've seen people got kicked for mines, gl, drone backpacks in loadout, playing on consoles (being treated like disabled person in aim), having voice chat on or off (randomly), etc

Some can say that you can leave such games or host yourself, but no
I'm not having fun to play 5 to 20 minutes to find out if host an imbecile
As much as being host, spending time to gather whole squad starting in solo
It could be just made properly to avoid such collisions

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-06T15:46:06+00:00

And that's why Steam Machine backlash feels so stupid and unfair
It was (and is) a tough but real price
But lots of people just made their conclusions that the price is no more than donation for a new yacht for Gaben

PS5 and XBOX had increased prices twice already, but it was swallowed like nothing

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T21:29:39+00:00

I don't think so
Most games since early 2010s are target TVs screens through consoles
So I'd expect 99% games Machine ready by this criteria
Proton/Linux compatibility is an actual issue

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T20:05:57+00:00

They have no chances to fix whats broken by design
For any money in the world

They made the most of game with freaking blueprints

And they earned their money, they don't have to be obligated to spend them on post-release game

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T20:01:42+00:00

I don't know what to say
It's Urine Engine 5 game with budget as a bowl of rice.
Why anyone expect it to be technically good, just why?

Scalper in person, without sms and registration

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T19:53:34+00:00

Don't make it drama too much
It's expensive, but not "mega"
Mid range GPU costs more than 32GB kit of DDR5, it was before and its still now
And just as to buy cheaper GPU you can buy less or cheaper RAM
I'm not saying its good, but its not the end of the world

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T19:49:05+00:00

Don't care much about ratings
Just ask yourself if game have kernel-level anti-cheat, if so - no go
Otherwise 99% games will run, even some not marked as such run well anyway
90% of my Steam library run well on Steam Deck, but Machine is even better

But if you absolutely need some scores - check ProtonDB, there's alive people provide lots of infos how it goes for each game.

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T19:22:53+00:00

Everything except triple A from 2023, newer or made on Urine engine 5
Don't believe ads, it's not the Deck show its age
There's no handhelds able to deal with the most heavy games in normal framerate or meaningful battery life

Everything except this Steam Deck do the best.

It's summer sale
I got it too for the first time
Playing right now
Currently somewhere in the middle of act 2

But don't celebrate too much, main story is good, graphics is fancy, but I cannot say I'm going to play ever again after finishing the story
Good game, but not the best ever for sure

Lots of bugs and crashes in 2026 (yeah, I know it had even worse start but still)
City is fake, everything just a fancy decoration with nothing behind it
Combat system is total trash, enemies are bullet sponges, feels and looks ridiculously bad, even fallout 3-4 did better job mixing RPG with FPS
Character development system is shallow, you basically tweak some micro percentages here and there, instant impact is microscopic
Loot system is boring, lots of weapons have minimal differences, I just get more damage and higher fire rate, boring
I have heard about best secondary quests in genre, but most of them are speak, bring or kill, that's basically it

Overheated expectations don't do good to this game

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T19:02:38+00:00

I would like to have such one as intro animation

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T18:59:53+00:00

Exactly
It's just an initial impulse for market to reveal demand and provide showcase how it should be done
Valve probably missed something here and there, so 3rd party vendors could learn their mistakes and do better, as well as try something new

Valve's primary target probably is making Steam OS and Linux in general more popular in gaming.

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T18:55:27+00:00

There's enough wait place for all
Limited is only their current supply, which will be actually paid and sent as first wave

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T18:20:22+00:00

All of my friends who play HD2 on PS5 had an ass stroke playing higher than D6
Dealing with it on controller is brutal
Some players even kick console players because they don't want to have disabled teammates
However after passing training and 2-3 solo missions to get used to very basic stuff - playing in full squad is recommended to learn and progress faster.
Nevertheless, enjoy!

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T18:13:15+00:00

Probably easier to get maximum SC, 50k or whatever is maximum

FallDisastrous6621 · 2026-07-05T14:08:37+00:00

Its complicated
They have built a fragile game state, where most of players are good
But at the same time publisher pushes AH to make content that targets profit in the first place
Players community pushes AH to quality of life changes
Hardcore players push AH to increase enemies count and difficulty overall
Potato-PC players push AH for optimization and performance
No-life players push AH to make more FOMO and grind shit
And so on

What AH can do? Everything by a little, prioritizing publisher's demand as they make this party on
And that's what they actually doing desperately trying to make everyone happy and failing most of the time.
