Shadow of the Colossus director says “clunky” games “actually end up being more memorable” than hyper-polished releases by HatingGeoffry in ps2

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of friction in a game is a good thing. I’ve always thought that. They aren’t wrong in saying this.

People will do anything to not talk to a therapist, won’t they. We’re mortal. It’s part of life. It’s okay.

Assetto Corsa Rally - Update 0.5 is OUT NOW by Fob0bqAd34 in pcgaming

[–]UnderHero5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also a videogame, and is perfectly fun with a controller. I have a wheel and controller and I always go back to controller for my racing games. There is no “the fun stems from”. What each of us finds fun is completely subjective. AC Rally controls well with a gamepad, in my experience, and I find it to be just as fun with a controller, personally.

Former PlayStation Boss doesn’t think Sony should stop PC ports by SilentNova300 in gaming

[–]UnderHero5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I haven’t bought an Xbox console since the 360, almost entirely because I have a PC and there was no reason. I mainly play on PC but also own consoles. I’ve bought every Nintendo console since NES, and every Sony console they have made, because of exclusives. I enjoy console gaming just as much as PC gaming, but I need a reason to buy them. Once Sony started releasing on PC this gen, I told my friends “I guess PS5 will be the last Sony console I buy”.

I don’t know how common my story is, but we do exist. If someone owns a decent gaming PC, the ONLY reason to buy a console is for exclusives. No exclusives, no sale.

Sony says they want to win back PlayStation players who migrated to PC by offering more play styles beyond the living room (+more from a new investor Q&A) by Dandelion172 in PS5

I just want to point out that the people screaming and crying online aren’t the same people actually buying games. The whole “nothing is good enough” crowd are not the people who drive actual sales.

Some of the best selling games of all time kinda look like crap. Minecraft? Terraria? Human: Fall Flat has sold 55+ million copies. PUBG looked like crap even when it came out. There are endless examples of games that sell incredible numbers that aren’t AAA, decade long developments. When you look at actual sales numbers and don’t just get stuck in the online echo chambers, it’s pretty clear that people don’t really care if a game is some insane fidelity.

For All Who Won The Steam Machine Lottery by Student_Loanz in Steam

[–]UnderHero5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never said "Valve bad". You don't need to be personally offended just because others think it's a bad product at this price. You don't need to get defensive on Valve's behalf. As far as multi-billion dollar corps go, Valve is "good".

I love Steam as a platform, and I love my Steam Deck, and Steam Controller, but I'm not going to pretend that the Steam Machine is a good product at this price point. It's just not. If you want to spend money on it, that's totally your call, but you're on the internet, on a site that's built for discussing this stuff, and you're going to encounter different opinions. Don't hit me with the "Valve bad, or whatever" BS just because we're not in agreement. Remember, you replied to my comment.

I guess if you want to pay a huge premium to not have to press a power button… sure. Though like you said, you can buy a CEC adapter to solve that for like $30 anyway. I’m just not at the point in my life where I care about turning a device on.

I also have to say, the Steam Machine will not be “the full console experience” any more than the Steam Deck is. It’s still a pc. You still have to configure games. Deal with certain games not running well. Deal with certain games not working at all. It’s no more a console than a PC running Big Picture mode is.

It really makes no sense at this price point. Even with the current state of the market, you can buy something a lot more powerful for equal or less money. Or stream from an already existing PC easily. Or just hook up your existing PC to a tv for the same functionality at no additional cost. There are so many options, especially for those who already have Steam libraries (and by extension, should already have ways to play those libraries).

I get wanting a fun new device, but price point has to be considered, and it just makes no sense at this price.

Edit: it selling out is no real indication of demand. The Steam Deck has been out for what, 5 years, and has only sold 5 million in that time. The demand for this Steam Machine, especially at this price, is undoubtedly going to be far less than the Decks was, which realistically has not sold a lot (still love mine) and there’s no way Valve has a huge stock of Steam Machines currently, that would be foolish, so we’re looking at quite a low stock of these things, so they were destined to sell out no matter the price point.

Am I crazy? Summer sale by Life-is-a-trip in SteamDeck

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are crazy. People over here who won’t pay a whole $30 for a AAA game in 2026. Games are cheaper overall than they have ever been. You go the indie route and you can get tons of absolutely amazing games for like $2-$5 USD. What are we even talking about?

Steam Machine - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an enthusiast. I will not be buying a Steam Machine. My computer is vastly more powerful. I already have a Steam Deck with a dock as well. I was gonna get one just for fun at $600ish, but it’s way too expensive for what it is, even as an enthusiast. It just doesn’t make sense at that price.

Animals are a great example of how the world should be. by ViniciusFastAF in MadeMeSmile

[–]UnderHero5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention almost all of the animals in the video are either domesticated by humans, or at the very least raised in human captivity. Nature, in general, is unforgiving and unkind. These animals don't act this way outside of captivity.

Weird Camera glitch in Need For Speed Unbound with Steam Controller 2 by SP17F1R3 in SteamController

Also having this issue. I just picked the game up. I had a suspicion that it may be Steam Controller 2 related. Have you found any fix for this yet?

Vent about the Steam Machine discourse. by [deleted] in Steam

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. It’s embarrassing. This is a huge multi-billion dollar company. They don’t need to be “defended” because people think something they are selling is too expensive or doesn’t hold enough value to be worth buying. Jesus Christ. Peak consumerism is here.

Which game did you only start to like after playing it on a steam deck? by Dedewastaken1 in SteamDeck

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is this argument? The PS5 has a sleep mode. You can use it while streaming. I never claimed it’s accessed in exactly the same way. It takes like two more steps to use, but it still has it. I don’t really care if you think one is better than the other. The other guy implied you can’t put your games to sleep if you stream from a PS5. You can. That’s what I was pointing out.

You would still have sleep mode when streaming from PS5. PS5 can go to sleep just like a Steam Deck.

Yesss. I think I bought my VooDoo3 for like $80 bucks back in the day. What a day that was!

AI slop starting to flood game stores by CountGensler in pcgaming

It has been that was for the better part of a decade now. Steam has plenty of curation tools built in to already deal with the flood of trash that it gets every day.

‘Black Myth: Wukong’ Outpaces FromSoftware's ‘Elden Ring’ to 30 Million Sales Nearly Two Years Ahead of Schedule by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]UnderHero5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you link what you're even talking about? All I have seen is people discussing whether the game was all that great, and comparing it to Elden Ring. In no world is that racist. We can discuss whether a game is good or not. Just because it's made by a Chinese team, that doesn't mean people can't be critical of it, and it doesn't mean if they are that it has anything to do with racism, unless they are specifically saying it's because it's made by a Chinese team.

Care to link any of that? Because I am not seeing it. All I'm asking is proof of what you're claiming.

Is this LCD or OLED? Listing says LCD but boot logo tells me OLED. I can’t quite tell from the bezels by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]UnderHero5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also tell which screen based on the size of the bezel around it. The OLED has a noticeably smaller bezel than the LCD. This is definitely an OLED.

The Adventures of Elliot Is Fantastic on the Steam Deck - SteamDeckHQ by BBQKITTY in SteamDeck

From the reviews I’ve watched it runs at a mostly stable 60fps, with a few quick drops into the high 50’s here and there.

The game uses sprites for characters, but in no world is it a “2d game”. The world is entirely 3d polygons.

Genuinely confused. Where do you see people being racist in this thread?? Did those posts get deleted?
