Just wanted to chime in and say that my Steam Deck OLED (512GB version) arrived yesterday. I chose that one because I liked the idea of a glossy screen instead of the matte one. Especially for OLED and those inky blacks. I gotta say....the screen is SOMETHING ELSE. Watching YouTube video comparisons...

Ok - guess I'm not the only one. Too bad. I feel like these sports games pulled me into video gaming in general, but just haven't evolved in the way I would have liked. Maybe a Steam Deck OLED would give me that gaming fix but in smaller chunks. Overkill - and way too big. Get an Odin 2. Absolutely...

I haven’t played a season or franchise in Madden or NBA in years. I do play a shit-ton of online H2H in Madden though. It may sound odd, but I think EA’s PGA Tour may scratch the itch you’re describing. I think it’s a very underrated game and it’s the single player experience that really shines IMO...

Hey all - long time no post but always like checking in to see what games are being discussed :) At the moment, I'm definitely in a love/hate relationship with gaming in general... With non-sports single player games like Cyberpunk/Spiderman, I find myself really engaged for the first 8 or so hours....

I use my Deck for smaller "indie" games.

Fanatical has great deals: https://www.fanatical.com/en/

Yes! Got a few indies bought as well. Looking forward to playing Dorfromantik (soothing environmental puzzler).

Thanks for the heads up about that website- will check it out.

Ha thanks!

Just got the deck - what a cool device. I guess it's natural to compare to the Switch OLED, which I've put in a lot of hours with. -Deck is definitely better ergonomically. My hands usually get a bit cramped/sore if I play too long on the Switch. -Deck is MUCH bigger, which will make it less fun to ...

I put it on my lap and it was pretty good. It fit fine snapped together on my lap. Sometimes the 'snap' part came loose and it was just a minor annoyance. But to answer your question, yes, it was comfortable on my lap flying. But you do miss some the immersion when I had it setup on the table in fr...

Just curious - are these flight sticks comfortable to use on your lap while sitting on the couch?

Been tempted for a while by these.

Agreed - amazing game. Just in the midst of the first section (Atlantic Wall?), but glad you explained about that sniper who entered my game. Had no clue what was happening. :lol: I'm thinking this is the type of game where you get to learn the level and even go back just to see what kind of stuff y...

I hadn't played this before, but heard about the updates and downloaded it. Ok - there are obviously glaring omissions...At the moment, if you want to play offline (which I stick to always) then only a 5 minute trial game is available? Master League coming I think? But - am I crazy for thinking this...

Anyone tried Forgotten City? Gets great reviews but haven't had time yet. Yes. It's like solving a murder mystery, even though that's not actually the plot. After a few hours in I got frustrated and used a guide to advance some and then to get the different endings. Definitely worth a look if you l...

I'm enjoying The Gunk. It reminds me of Journey to the Savage Planet (except much simpler) and Beyond Good and Evil. You are exploring and cleaning up an alien planet, looking for some kind of power source. Same here! Just has a nice vibe to it - along with that PS2 adventure game innocence (i.e. B...

Just downloaded it as well! Looks right up my alley- humour, sci-fi, great dialogue, not 60 hours

How’s the difficulty?

Couldn't help myself - grabbed a white Switch OLED today. Haven't booted it up yet, but man it's really nice in the hands. More of a premium feel, both in terms of the screen size and also the joycons don't wobble at all like the older system.

Will download Metroid Dread tonight for sure.

Psychonauts 2 is great!

The writing is just so good…

Played about an hour last night. Heard it’s about 15 total which will be perfect.

Has anyone flied over their homes? Does your home look accurate? I found my house quite easily... It didn't look accurate in terms of design. They had simply put a pre-designed house there...but the scale and size were very accurate compared to other houses on the street, so you could tell that the...

Pretty impressive from what I played last night! As well noted, the interface is clunky, but I'm sure I'll get used it. Does using a flight stick help in that regard? Not sure if it acts sort of like a mouse when you're not flying? Managed to crash a cesna right into my house on my first flight, so ...

Good advice...Mass Effect/RE8 (in my case) aren't "must plays" at this point, so I'll probably give them some more time, in the hopes they jump onto Game Pass.

Too many games in the backlog anyway!

Really enjoying my time with the Series X and Game Pass thus far. I expected to feel the "value" difference, but I didn't really grasp how it would change the way I game. It's such an easy system to just turn on and bust out a quick session or jump from game to game. Gaming on the PS5 feels like a m...

Honestly, I think this game is going to blow up on the XBSX. There is a big buzz going on and supposedly the XBSX handles it just fine. Word is controller announcements are coming soon. Anxious for the 27th. Yeah I saw that interview where they hinted at a controller announcement. Never used a flig...

Wondering what my first Game Pass download should be - maybe Yakuza Like a Dragon? Ori Will of the Wisps? Star Wars Fallen Order? I honestly was most impressed with Madden in terms of how much better it plays. Also NBA2K from a graphical standpoint. If I'm being honest thought nothing has been mind...

Series X arrived at my door today... Wondering what my first Game Pass download should be - maybe Yakuza Like a Dragon? Ori Will of the Wisps? Star Wars Fallen Order? My heart wants to play Forza Horizon 4, but I'm worried about playing it too close to the release of #5. I worry that it will make m...
