Welp I'm going to buy Persona 5 for a fourth time to play on my Deck. I feel bad for Switch owners, but I feel like porting P5R to the Switch is probably harder than it looks and might not be worth the effort.
Naw it's Atlus being dipshits, Switch has 100+ million install base and Joker was on Smash Bros.

I am very glad Persona ain't exclusive to the Gamepass launcher.
I'm probably going to play it on there anyway, but still.

Hey, great to learn that for P5S it's just a matter of using GE !
On the other hand, and I understand this is a me thing and that people have other views on the subject, a game with incompatible cutscenes could be fully incompatible for all I care. This is a non starters for me.
I agree, i ranted at length in the deck thread due to cutscenes glitches.
The issue to those are codecs, until Valve fixes that stuff you need proton GE to have cutscenes working

Honestly, no one should depend on system codecs for video playback on PC in the 2020s.
It's such a massive source of potential unique per-user issues even on Windows, and also not necessary in the least given that VP9 exists and is freely available.

But of course, that doesn't fix existing games, or those ported by companies who's best practices for PC porting are at least a decade out of date, so Valve will have to continue working on it.
 
If I had to bet I’d say that in 10 years we’ll be talking about practices that are 2 decades behind.
Also it’s why I always find it crazy that somehow the outsourcing of port is seen as a company not caring, it’s much better to leave stuff to people who have experience in the field rather than fumbling about
 
Sonic Frontiers:
I don’t know if this will make it into the release version, but the settings include a dozen or so sliders that allow you to customize the way Sonic controls. There are five different sliders related to Sonic’s speed, as well as turning, acceleration, resistance, and more. I can understand why you would want to give players the opportunity to customize the way Sonic handles to some degree - Sonic has an all-ages fanbase, after all - but this felt more like Sega isn’t sure how to tune the physics so it’s just making us figure it out.

If these settings make it to the final version, this could be interesting.
 
One of the strangest things at this year "E3" is total lack of Ubisoft, EA, partially Take2 and Square Enix news (we only got FFXVI at SoP).

Kind of a wasted opportunity with millions n millions watching twitch this past week. Should have just done an event even if you don't have anything big releasing this year. Ubisoft in particular needed to have one as they announced a bunch of stuff last year that has yet to release so why not update people with news.

Maybe we will see some stuff next month or the pubs are waiting for Gamescom. Sony needs to have their own big event as well soon.

they're trendy. it's what the tiktok generation is into these days. 😅
when i worked as a bartender it was becoming increasingly rare for classic cocktails to be ordered by the young folks. Kinda why I'm glad my bar generally had an older clientele, well that and old people have better stories lol.
Hektor, we're just getting old brother...

(but not all his drinks are bad tbf)
wait, what, no I make classic cocktails all the time and I'm not old

Oh and i know i'm late to the sort-of-e3 chat but starfield looks like the most bethesda game that bethesda ever did bethesda on a rather bethesda day

What's the point of complaining if y'all gonna buy them anyway :v
this.

looks at every single bloody gaming youtuber that complains how TLOU remake is pointless but then says "I'll buy it anyway"

The last time I had a game have issues due to codec versions was, no joke, Myst.

Oops misread, thought this was about codec version issues, not problems inherent to a codec.

Friendly advise, people who bought Meteor World Actor: Badge & Dagger VN


can get for free +18 DLC patch for steam version on Johren Games store.
 
Anyone figure out how to get the badge? I've played a few demos and haven't received anything.
 
Fair warning to people that don't read the VN thread that might even entertain the idea to purchase anything from that store, if the game has DRM don't buy it, get the free patch and walk away

Correct, that's why I said just get the steam patch xDD.
It's pretty sad english version Dohna Dohna is stuck on that store. : ( is one the newly greatest VNs, imho.
Johren is trash mainly because they keep mosaics on their english releases.
 
Skimmed through the Spiderman Steam forums and is pretty chill, I remember Horizon, Days Gones, and God of War forums were an absolute shit show at the beginning lmao.

"One key detail though, that I failed to report on with the footage that I was shown, is that the person appears to be playing the game on some kind of mobile device, which appears to almost certainly be a Google Pixel."
what
 
Capcom has it too easy.

They can just coast by remaking RE games for the next 50 years. Over n over again while sprinkling in a new SF or MH game from time to time.
