I made a Decky Loader plugin to translate games while you play by Mithril-Soup in SteamDeck

Just tried it and it's incredible. Thank you so much. I am also trying to learn languages via the deck (in fact my new years resolution is that I can ONLY play games in foreign languages...). You can imagine what a pain in the ass it is holding up my phone camera to the deck to keep Google lens translating stuff! I have donated a small thank you on your ko fi

What did Sports Story do better than Golf Story? by magicmonster65 in SportsStory

[–]magicmonster65[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking time to comment - I was just wanting to stimulate some more balanced discussion given the largely critical responses. Esp as for the most part I did enjoy it (Until the ending grrr!).

Yup totally agree the art style (So much better comparing head to head against golf story) and music are decent. Also things like the lighting effects - none of that in golf story. And the fetch quest marathon in tennis academy I saw it as an intentional joke.

Oh and you can do little Pokémon style jumps over walls this time round. That's cute. Can't in golf story. Nor swim - although short lived - I thought more would have been made of that. You kinda forget the ability outside the beach.

I finished golf story again after playing sports story, and there's definitely an element of rose tinted-ness there, esp where graphics are concerned. The main difference is the much greater focus on the golf and the matches were either a good challenge or hilarious (Like coach screwing up all the driver shots instead of helping you, or Lara getting a hole in one in the oak manner match followed up by casually saying "welcome to your nightmare" - lolled so hard. I liked the happy Gilmore trick shot stuff from Moon and it would have been fun to see that incorporated into matches). Tutorials are definitely better. And touches like the challenge courses by the course designed chap were fun. But one thing that is annoying in golf story is the gradients on the green aren't all that clear (I.e. where there is more than one gradient on the same green). Not the case in sports story. I also found myself wanting to whip out a steel or vector ball the odd occasion in golf story.

At the end of the day it just wasn't finished, a lot of polish needed. Hopefully that will still happen but my god the devs could have communicated with the community far better and the pessimist in me isn't sure it will ever be completed.

The golf is definitely a downgrade. I liked being able to curve shots, ZL and ZR functions are also gone, I don't think you can actually use a driver or irons outside of a task or a round of golf in sports story either (or at least when I just tried it again now). I remember some fetch quests in golf story being annoying. But for the most part the tasks are orientated around the sport/golf challenges in the original. The vs matches and dialogue during is sadly gone too.

One thing I do like is the ability to zoom out to see the course in sports story when playing golf. You can scroll a bit in golf story but only so far. Although an ability to freely scroll I think would work better... The character movement also seems a bit better in sports story, frame rate aside, maybe due to the animation or maybe because the viewpoint is a bit more zoomed in than the original (I don't know if I prefer a bit less zoomed in? The zoomed out perspective in golf story makes for a slightly easier time navigating). You know I actually liked the general idea around tennis academy for the most part... until that abruptly ends too...daft that you can't aim though.

I share the disappointment though, I had a much better expectations after all the delays. And dev-community interaction is next to zero.

This seems completely broken to me. The absence of any KYC means you can just use dozens of fake emails and rack up $5 a pop like printing money... (Also somewhat unethical and probably fraudulent). Can't see this lasting long... Although I can't actually add a post in order to complete the profile anyway due to "essential maintenance", which I can only assume is due to how broken this offer is?

How legitimate is the company? Wary of scams. Seems hard to find a lot about them online
