Fallout 3.
I spent the time to learn how to make action layers, radial menus, and multi-action keys. It’s great! (Emulating mouse/kb controls)
- Holding L2 for sights/scopes enables gyro aiming.
- X button presses Ctrl and Caps Lock at the same time to toggle both crouching and walking. (I will disable Caps Lock once I take the Silent Running perk.)
- Holding L1 enables an action layer that changes nearly every control:
- Right stick becomes a radial menu for item hotkeys, 1-8
- X presses Caps Lock alone to toggle walk-run by itself
- Y is hotkey 8, which is my hotkey for Stimpack. It’s easier to hit in an emergency than the radial menu.
- B becomes X (keyboard) for exiting shops
- Right trackpad become a a scroll wheel for menus
Stuff like that. Basically, I have every important keyboard key mapped somehow. I have the E key mapped two different ways. R3 for just opening doors and such where aiming isn’t important. And L4 for when I’m using the right trackpad as mouse for carefully picking up individual items like bottlecaps, Nuke Colas and such that are often surrounded by junk. Same with landmines.
It’s not as good as a real kb/mouse, but it’s much better than the default XBox 360 controls. Steam Input is so amazing.
Megabonk and Peglin
Finally finished Death Stranding. On to Hades 2.
Just finished Powerwash Simulator 2. Now trying to get my The Outer Worlds savegame from the Switch working on the Steam Deck to play the few DLC missions I skipped back then.
I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven’t fully settled into what to play next. I think I’ll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.
Assassins creed: valhalla for the big stints.
And knights of tight spaces for when I think it’s a short stint and ends up playing it for a few hours.Playing Metroid Dread right now, not having much fun though. Might quit and start play Ratchet and clank a rift apart tomorrow if things doesn’t get any better.
I’ve played it on the deck way back. Got through about 60% of the game iirc. Then it just got crazy for me and I’ve used a trainer to finish it. For the story. Not getting it one bit. I just can’t invest that much time in each exaggerated boss.
My biggest complaint is that the emmi zones are annoying and, time-wise are about two thirds of the game. And honestly the zones in between doesn’t feel great either and the three bosses I found so far are kinda repetitive too.
So you’re in the beginning of the game. It’s quite extensive. I share your sentiment. Though it does seem like it might not be for you. There’s a lot of returning to previous areas in the game.
Well, I’m four hours in, that should be plenty of time for a game to be good at that point. I’ve played many metroidvanias that are far better than this game and all those were great from minute one. Guess this game isn’t for me :)
I still have Samus Return on my 3Ds, hope the emmi thing isn’t a staple of the series, will check it out in the future.
Which others? I’m curious 🤔 I’ve really enjoyed Prince of Persia the Lost Crown for example.
My three all time favs are Guacamelee 1 and 2 and Shadow Complex. The combat and traversal of the formers is so much fun. And the settings and 2.5D if the later are so cool. Also enjoyed Castlevania symphony of the night and hollow knight quite a bit, albeit the traversal in this game is so so.
I absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you’re not enjoying it much.
Megabonk and Hades, I love both of them so much right now
Had very little time to play, so it’s:
- Brotato
- Snø
- ΔV - Rings of Saturn
Getting back into FFXIV
ESO, but in desktop mode. Otherwise, Disco Elysium when I’m on the go.
the android version is nice, or at least interestingly ported
Mass Effect 2 for the second time years after playing it on Playstation 3
Lollipop Chainsaw RePopped
It’s so silly
Huntdown It’s a really fun, well put together run ‘n’ gunner reminiscent of the 80’s 32 bit era. I’m having a blast with it. All the boss fights are totally unique.
Recently finished another playthrough of Half-Life 2, and now I’m back on Hades (not 2, waiting for that to go on sale). I’ve just had the first successful run but I’ve got a long way to go before I’m up to the same point I was at on the Xbox.
