That doesn't sound normal, sure sometimes one has to stick it little harder but things are built after a standard and should be feel normal in use.
Yeah, I had the opportunity of trying it on the Deck yesterday and, as the saying goes, it fits like daddy in mommy.
Guess floor tiles and ipads aren't a good mix.

They will condense map. According to GTA Forums and their map prediction based on last year's leaks there will be some mountains in the north.

It would be pretty hilarious to see a mountain in florida considering we barely have anything you could call a hill here but I'd probably be ok with it if it led to a more interesting world to explore. I've been on airboats in the swamp it's...really not that exciting lol. So if they stuck to realism that's mostly what would be around vice city (everglades isn't that far from miami).

I'm playing the demo right now and it's not bad, but they also don't really explain the game mechanics to you all that well.

By the way yes it runs on Steam Deck and that's nice.


I think S. Korea’s anti-net neutrality legislation is basically the cause of this.

ISPs are greedy motherfuckers.
I find this crazy because at one point in time, South Korea had by far the fastest internet speeds in the world for the lowest cost compared to everyone else (I remember looking it up about 9 years since I had to do some research for a school paper, and taking about how the ISP in the United States are are like a drug cartel, they have their own territory and claim. At the time in the US, it didn't matter where you lived you only had 2 different providers that you could choose from if it all and they were charging a lot of money for their services) but then when I checked again earlier this year, their prices were not nearly as impressive as they once were over a decade ago.



Breaking news.
Twitch will close on South Korea during next year (February 27th, 2024. ) cause mantaining costs.
So no more south korean streamers (or followers/subs) on that platform.
I wonder what this will mean for eSports? There are options other than just Twitch but now it will be harder for those outside of to watch.

Is Riot Games currently going through Panic mode right now? I'm guessing not since they have back up plans.
I never had any interest in GTA and that is not changing. However, I can assure you that any portrayal of Floridians acting crazy is 100% accurate. [Hidden content]
I'm hoping not near Miami

I'm playing more of that card RPG game and the demo is not that easy, it not that bad but then you get to the boss in stage 1 and get steam rolled. I'm still not even sure if there is permadeath in this game.

The female MC chibi character looks strange. Everyone else's looks nice but her's is just weird.

Inspired by the discussion few pages ago about ignoring lewd games on steam, I just decided to do the same actually.
I also decided to unignore every single game I have ignored through discovery queue in the past. Start my recommendations fresh.

I... should probably go back to that porn stuff instead of asking, but...
Is there a way to be shown 'games with porn in them' and not 'porn games' ?

I need to post some reviews in the dedicated thread at some point, but too lazy for that :thinking-face:
So some thoughts in there I guess?

Robocop Rogue City is a great game, I like Robocop, but expected nothing out of it and it was genuinely cool, and perfectly in line with the first movie. Looks amazing despite the performance issues, really fun skill tree that makes it weirdly compelling as an RPG (even if getting the Xp is pretty boring when it's picking up random crap), a lot of good side quests... and a lot of boring ones too, but the main story holds up, the shooting is basic and fun (especially near the end when you are really strong - again, strangely good RPG systems), and it's not too long... if you don't do everything maybe, because side content is nice but movement speed is pretty agonizing in a lot of sequences.

Started Octopath Traveler 2, and I like it a lot more than the first one. It wasn't bad, but was nothing but cut scene in town > corridor dungeon > closing cut scene, repeat 64 times.
This one massively improves the pacing, there are sequences with no dungeon, sometimes not even combat, the world is much better designed and much less linear with levels as gatekeeping; you're much more free in where you can go, plus there's tons of good side content like optional dungeons and relevant things to find all around.
Now the side quests are still really shit (if better organized in the journal so you're not always lost with no way to know what to do), and not all characters are interesting.
But at least they do have unique EX skills for their mandatory base class, and a unique talent that is a bit like a Limit that you can use very often, so they feel a lot less like copy/paste. A good chunk of balance happened too, like the Huntress being able to capture monsters a lot easier and the fact that almost all are not one time use but become another extra skill instead.

There are 3 levels of lewdness filtering on your store preferences. Having the top one selected will allow you to see stuff like Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3. Eg, "regular games with some lewd stuff in them". Also selecting the other two will get you all the rest. The second level might be what you want?

Yeah, I think my problem is that I can't seem to find these categories on game pages. Because their examples are useful, but not as much as going on a specific page and seeing in which it sits.

I could do without the last category, which seems to be entirely comprised of 'PORN GAMES MOTHERFUCKER', but not certain about the second to last, which looks like 'porn games my good dude'.

today my PS Portal arrived
I've been playing with it and my conclusion is... not recommended.
Input lag it's noticed a lot. If anybody doubts I recommend do this. Just put Street Fighter with audio activated on your TV/monitor at the same time with PS Portal. You will notice the audio reproduces near a second before on your screen than your PSPortal. or f.e. If you push your ps portal buttons you will get the response before on your TV than your PSPortal. Something that is essential in fighting or racing games.

There is a AO section which you can access for the categories section where all the actual Porn\Hentai games are but the tag cant be searched for so you cant exclude them when looking for games that has sexual content but is not AO.

If you look at the filter examples for "Frequent Nudity or Sexual Content" and "Adult Only Sexual Content" they are mostly just Porn\Hentai games.

They really just need to add more searchable tags.

I finally used the Deck Oled. Morale is a tad better.

That being said I also finally started Dredge and, wouldn’t you know it, when you play a demo and feel the concept is great but the game too simplistic ? Chances are the final game has a great concept but is too simplistic.

Not enough plot or mood, not enough mechanics, just a long grind. Nice game, sure, but very undercooked for now.
Damn, was meaning to try the Dredge demo at some point on Switch, cos was already feeling a little unsure on it.

Hey, it never hurts to try, maybe I'm too harsh. But keep your expectations in check. On the meat on bone scale, this is very much a 'I could play this while taking a shit' category.

But I will continue it, because I hate dropping games, I wanted to like it, and bah, it doesn't do enough to be hated.
It's there.

PS Portal’s performance depends on how good your network is.

1 second of lag suggests your network is not ideal for in home streaming, or that your Portal is faulty.

Others have reported minimal lag and great fidelity.

It also just doesn't seem particularly well-implemented though. I've seen reviews where people use the PS portal and get stutter and lag, and if they use an arbitrary phone with the xbox streaming app (with the consoles and phone/portal in the same network and location) they get much better streaming performance.
That's not great when you're talking about a dedicated streaming device.

I've got better performance using XBOX Cloud gaming on Steam Deck Desktop mode through Microsoft Edge Browser than PS Portal on the same Network.

MGS sold a lot as a franchise so as long as 3 is a faithful remake with not a lot of bad press the die hards will carry it to good sales. Its the defacto entry point too as far as the timeline goes. I don't think It'll flop. I see at least 3 million lifetime sales.

As far as horror games go anything full priced that isn't Resident Evil should be expected to flop. Its really tough for that genre.

Silent Hill 2 remake without any doubt just looking James Sunderland new face looks horrible and I have zero faith on Bloober Team.

They gonna destroy one of my favorite games ever. no doubt on this.

Honestly kinda rooting for them. It will probably be a hot mess but if its decent then its a feel good story for all the shit/doubt they had to deal with.

At the end of the day its just another DayZ clone so wtvr.

As long as they price it correctly and are active during EA period then good for them.

I pretty much immediately lost any interest in the Day Before as soon as this got announced:

It's being done by the same people that did Dave the Diver
