Good to know. I can’t speak for OP, but I’m one of those people for whom a good gameplay loop alone isn’t enough. I need some lasting justification in long-term progression, story and world-building, or whatever, so anything that weakens those can kill a game for me. (And yes, I basically can’t make myself interested in roguelikes.) It sounds like Vintage Story is propped up enough by its progression for the rest to not matter though.
I think it depends more on the person than the tech. I’ve only had AAA games on my Deck for demoing to others. I’m too spoiled by my desktop to actually enjoy playing them that way.
Even if it’s not a big part of the total experience, knowing a game’s story will be eternally unfinished can make the whole thing feel hollow. That’s my experience at least. Per the wiki, it looks like Vintage Story is planned to have 8 chapters of story and development is currently at 2.
Good to know. I’ve checked out some Let’s Plays of it, and the differences still look fun. I guess I better get on it.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be turning anything like that off until at least a second playthrough. Difficulty tweaks might be nice though, especially if the VR mod is in a good state when I get around to it.
Ah, I’ve seen the progression and survival mechanics are pretty deep, but the IRL perspective is cool. Thanks!
That’s a good point. I typically wait for massive sales before buying games and DLCs, but I’ve still probably spent more than I care to admit on Stellaris. The enjoyment per dollar ratio is definitely still way up there for me though.
Oh, it sounds like you’re missing the context that Nvidia used games to advertise DLSS 5 alterations without informing those games’ devs beforehand. In other words, it’s impossible for the dev to have been involved with the DLSS version. I suppose missing that critical detail makes some of the title backlash make sense.
That’s not his point. He’s saying the headline is not clickbaity or misrepresentative.
Yep. I have zero problems with the headline. It’s actually a summary of the article like it should be instead of clickbait. Not sure what everyone’s up in arms about.
I’ve been eyeing Vintage Story for a while. What are you liking most about it?
Their current full price is slightly over $30, but Rimworld, Stellaris, and Satisfactory are in this bucket for me too.
Timberborn is a definite favorite of mine. Whiskerwood looks very similar. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I’m thinking I may like it more than Timberborn in the long-run due to having more interesting end-game goals to work toward.
It also means you can perfectly shape accessories for the controller like skins, docks, cases, attachment brackets, etc.
It’s also worth checking out their Augmented Steam extension to get a lot of that directly on Steam Store pages.
I’m not OP, but thanks for spelling that out. I guess I must have seen a bunch of tech stuff from that instance starting out. I was under the impression it was started by Machine Learning enthusiasts. Lol.
Just curious, what kind of hardware are you used to gaming on?
