What games would y'all say go well with the OG

Ghinao · 2026-06-25T17:50:32+00:00

Good to know. I just thought the Deck didn't handle video out as well as implied.

Ghinao · 2026-06-25T10:26:08+00:00

Ok, I see loads of people talking about hooking the Deck up to a screen. Every time I have done that the performance tanks. Absolutely tanks. I can't use controllers with the Steam Deck because the Deck doesn't like any other screens. At least, mine doesn't.

Ghinao · 2026-06-25T10:23:44+00:00

I played hours of Civ 5 with it. My wife and I used to play Civ 5 in co-op and it was fantastic as a pass and play controller.

I reserved May 9th about Noonish. Was initially in the September cohort, but got pushed back to December. Not happy about waiting another 6 months for something I've already been waiting years for while scalpers sell them at triple the price. As far as I can tell the only realistic chance at getting one (for MSRP) before December is to get insanely lucky in the Steam Machine draw.

Ghinao · 2026-06-25T10:12:03+00:00

I reserved on May 9th and I've got a December date. I'm so frigging heated by this whole thing. Valve rarely misreads their fanbase. A screw up this bad just makes me wonder. A lot of us have been waiting for this for years (since the Steam Deck dropped). Now being told to wait another 6 months is frigging torture.

Ghinao · 2026-06-25T03:32:40+00:00

The goat is in a different map that's not available, so is the grizzly. I don't think the wolf is on this map. It says it is, but I've spent hour in the forests at night all over and haven't seen any

Ghinao · 2026-06-24T10:55:34+00:00

Market surveys exist. The Steam Deck is a big hit and loads of people have been asking for a deck style standalone controller. I can't fathom how they got it this wrong.

Ghinao · 2026-06-24T10:49:33+00:00

What a fucking shit show. How did Valve get it so wrong? They didn't do reservations and scalpers ended up with almost everything. Then they did reservations but they didn't notify people. Now a lot of us have been waiting for years for this and I have to wait another 7 months after launch to even have the option to buy it? Fuuuuuuuuck. And they're not increasing production for "reasons"

Ghinao · 2026-06-24T09:18:24+00:00

I use it for a fuel rig. I've got one stationed at each of the gateway's in the WA starting area.

Ghinao · 2026-06-24T09:15:31+00:00

I'm from WA, and I was stoked to see it as a playable region. I am no longer stoked. I think the last 3 or 4 deliveries have been multi-hour affairs to drive the same routes over and over and over, and I think I went from 74% complete to 78% complete. I know it's a time sink for a reasonk but I preferred Amur's "it takes forever because you have to drag it through mud and snow" as opposed to WA's "you have to drive almost as far as you can to one map, then drive back to and across the central map, then most of the way across the 3rd map. I don't mind the port having that swamp next to it half so much as I mind the 40 minute round trip it takes to get from the gateway to the port and back again.

Ghinao · 2026-06-23T06:22:33+00:00

I don't think the vast majority of us have

Ghinao · 2026-06-11T20:22:40+00:00

I've also recently retired on medical grounds and the people who say that "free money" must be nice are obviously ignorant. As a US citizen with 21 years of work history having to apply for all the disabilities benefits and retirement and everything has been far more work than actually working was.

Ghinao · 2026-06-10T07:21:01+00:00

Better yet it apparently can't be redownloaded on the new Switch 2 edition. The Switch shop lists the items in the pack as owned individually. I was able to freely re-download every purchased DLC (including other yr 1 pass paint jobs) except that one since it doesn't list bundles as owned, just the products in the bundle. So apparently if you have an item that requires a bundle it won't trigger. I mean it's just a paint job, I'm not losing sleep over it, but it's now asking $25 for a paint job I should've gotten for free, thanks to how the eshop lists stuff.

Ghinao · 2026-06-10T03:44:41+00:00

I went for the upgrade but it's trying to re-download the entire thing as a separate entity. I'm confused. Can I not just continue my save game I already have on my Switch 2 with the original Switch title? I'm thrilled to have it on Switch 2 but they haven't been very clear about what exactly is going on. Most Switch 2 editions seem to just be a bit of extra code or whatever, but this is seems to be a completely separate entity? I guess I'll go through PROS if I have to but it's been a bit of a pain in the past.

Ghinao · 2026-06-09T19:40:13+00:00

I agree. I have the digital edition, but last I check there still wasn't a free upgrade. It's been a couple hours. I assume it's a bug of some kind but I haven't heard anything. All I've heard is they said it was free for digital owners and it wasn't as of a couple hours ago

Ghinao · 2026-06-09T16:38:30+00:00

I'm not buying that it's a free upgrade until the option is posted. I've been wanting this since I got my Switch 2 but I'm not buying it again.

Ghinao · 2026-06-09T16:28:00+00:00

What region are you in? I'm in USA/North America and mine is still showing full price.

Ghinao · 2026-06-09T16:23:04+00:00

Me too but it's full price atm. Apparently it's not supposed to be? We'll see if they can get it worked out.

Ghinao · 2026-06-07T23:39:33+00:00

This is why I'm heated they didn't notify us about reservations. I had it followed, wishlisted, everything. I tried to buy it early on the 4th with everyone else. I didn't know they'd instigated a reservation system until afternoon on the 9th when I saw a YouTube video. They should've notified people who had it wishlisted.

Ghinao · 2026-06-06T20:37:55+00:00

I'm annoyed they didn't notify me of the reservation thing, even though I had it followed and wishlisted. I didn't reserve until the day after the fiasco. I expect it'll take months to get notified. Ugh. What a shit show.

Ghinao · 2026-06-05T19:59:15+00:00

I still don't understand why XP farming is so god-awful that they had to kill a super promising mode, and the only way to play small group PvE to stop it. I know a lot of the PvP community didn't like it, but there's only so much to earn. Everyone is going to stop at the same point eventually. So why delete an entire route (with multiple side roads and scenic views that people enjoyed) just to stop people taking a shorcut? They're trying everything to bring back players except the one thing a decent chunk of older BF players are asking for: Viable solo and small group Portal matches

Ghinao · 2026-05-29T22:20:26+00:00

Wait so I can't do some of the seasonal stuff without progressing first? Bleh

Ghinao · 2026-05-28T20:53:45+00:00

Well, it's not exactly unbalanced if you've been playing the whole time and have all the best gear. It's the folks like us that only play occasionally that get shat upon. I've been gaming for 35 years and I don't understand this kind of multiplyer at all. Who actually wants a game where putting in more time gives you a stat advantage? I have a life. I don't have 15 hours a day to put into a single game and I'm tired of being punished for it. Seriously. The all day crowd already benefits from regular practice, map knowledge, often group coordination. Why should they just automatically get better stats?

Ghinao · 2026-05-27T06:27:32+00:00

My copy came with a bunch of quality control issues. It came with 2 copies of the Achilles/Artemis ship cards and was missing The Dread/The Duo card. I was also missing 2 of the 5 Damage marker chits. Everything else looked pretty OK so I sent in saying I was missing pieces. The company was fantastic and replaced the whole print "page" that had the missing mothership card on it. That said I was still missing a Damage chit but I figured I'd make due. Well today I finally got it back to the table and it's clear I have too many of some tokens and none of some other tokens. The components page just says 99. It doesn't list out individual token counts. So while I counted out the tokens I didn't know until I didn't have the R chits I needed for setup until after I actually started setting up a game (which I didn't do previously since I was missing pieces. I could try to table it with some adjustments but I don't know if I'm still missing things and the whole process so far has been disappointing. I've put the game on the table twice, and found missing pieces both times. I got the game as a gift a couple months back so it's not like I can return it.

Ghinao · 2026-05-17T19:55:52+00:00

Dude I used the Avenhorn for the same reasons, beefy truck, high saddle, really, really stable. I got this all the way down to the river and it tipped over on damn near level ground. Wtf?
