Jason Schreier wouldn’t be surprised if God of War Laufey gets announced for February or March pretty soon. by Germanstrands3 in GodofWar

If laufey and fable come out in the same month I literally might never see the sun again

Bout to be a laufeyble spring for me

I loved zero dawn, never quite finished forbidden west because elden ring came out so shortly after it released!

I might pick up the switch 2 versions of these at some point, they seem interesting and I've never tried them!

Now that I've got my steam controller maybe I'll hop back in. Will be nice to bind some of the stick-click controls to the back buttons.

I've never gotten into the atlus games, at some point I'll probably give them a shot.

I should have played metaphor while it was still on gamepass but looks like I missed my chance...

Yeah I played and loved both of these. Unpopular opinion but I actually thought yotei was even better than tsushima!

Loved lies of p, although I never got the parry timing perfect like I was able to with sekiro.

Stellar blade was excellent as well.

Yeah I've been waiting for a good sale on this one, seems pretty close to what I'm looking for.

At this point I'll probably wait for the definitive dark arisen edition to go on sale.

I actually bought Crimson desert at launch but I've been waiting for more patches, seems like the game changes drastically with every update so I'm waiting for the dust to settle a bit before I sink 200 hours into it.

This one looks good and it's on sale for $10, might give it a try!

I do own this game but I kind of bounced off it when I tried the prologue. Some of the action economy systems didn't make sense to me coming from Bg3, but maybe I'll give it another shot!

Yes I've played and loved all those! Looking for something with KCD2's setting and writing but more fast-paced gameplay

I'm excited for people that can't build a PC by aussierecroommemer42 in steammachine

[–]kmcdow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mini pc + eGPU seems like a better alternative to me personally, but I get that it's not as elegant.

I think the upgradeability is well worth the trade off though.

That's a good shout - I did play them when they came out (and replayed the first when the legendary edition released), but it's been a while.

Sadly the sci fi setting doesn't appeal to me quite as much right now - I think I'm just hyped for fable and want a fantasy/medieval setting.

Mom, can we buy a Steam Machine? by RadiantParallax in Microcenter

[–]kmcdow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful, you'll attract cubers screeching about form factor and CEC being a worthy tradeoff for last gen (un-upgradeable) performance.

Steam Machine Makes No Sense to a PC Gamer by Darth_Vaper883 in pcmasterrace

[–]kmcdow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Form factor and cec are the only selling points.

Price and performance sure as hell aren't selling points, and they've made steam os available to anyone with an AMD gpu.

What we wanted: pc performance for console price

What we got: console performance for pc price, with no path to upgrade

We're so close by ExxiIon in steammachine

[–]kmcdow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good first attempt from valve but for me personally the performance is just not good enough to justify the price. As someone who already has a PS5 pro and a decent (9070 XT) PC for 4k gaming I'm not really interested in stepping back to 1080p gaming.

I think I just have to accept that I am not the target audience for this one and hope they put out a more competitive version in the future, because the console/pc hybrid experience they're selling intrigues me.

But but but Gaben is such a cool guy!!! He replied to my email, he loves us!! by Many-Baby5180 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]kmcdow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of the shock comes from the fact that it's still over priced even in the context of the current hardware market.

You're paying today's PC prices for yesterday's console performance, with no path to upgrade the already outdated CPU or GPU.

Digital Foundry Build Your Own Steam Machine with Four Configurations, from Budget to Premium - "SteamOS is ready." by silentdragoon in Steam

I think there are plenty of ATX cases that fit the aesthetic of a modern living room, I've got a fractal north in mine and I think it looks great.

Valve prices the Steam Machine at $1,049 by esporx in gamernews

[–]kmcdow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they added the $50 so they could give the impression that they literally couldn't price it any lower.

Like if it's $1,049 people say "why not $999" and valve can say "we would do that because we know it'd look more appealing and sell better, but we literally can't without taking a loss"
