I need to reinstall this mf game when it comes out I didn't expect this lol

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I played on game pass but canceled my subscription after the price hike. if they release DLC i'll straight up buy the game just to play it

[–] Imhotep@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's available DRM free on GOG now

[–] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm really glad this game took off like it has, it seems well made and fairly original (to my knowledge). I gave it a good shot and it is just not my kind of game but I had a good time seeing what it had to offer in the first act. Definitely a gorgeous game with an immersive feel

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's genuinely one of my all time favourite games, prolly in my top 10. It's just sooooo good to play and somehow I love it, it's absolutely captured me even with its (few) flaws

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to diving into it as the nights draw in.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just watched the playthrough and there's already a film adaptation in the works.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Robert Pattinson for Gustave or riot

[–] dukemirage@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The characters should honestly be played by French actors and actresses. It should generally be a French production, that’s part of the charme of the game.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ugh I agree with the both of you, Pattinson can speak with a French accent, no?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 3 weeks ago

Do it like Remedy does for Alan Wake: Pattinson acts and reads out the lines in (presumably butchered) French, but then have a separate native French actor do the voice and dub over him.

Best of both worlds?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You just want to see >!spoilers!< to Robert Pattison on TV.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

Wow. Amazing to see them do this.

Can't wait to try it out.

Challenging, new boss battles for late-game players to overcome

Was Simon not enough 😨 I swear I am still getting the phase 2/3 music popping into my head randomly months later.

Jokes aside, definitely playing this on release.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Now introducing Chromatic Simon

[–] catalyst@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is so exciting! I definitely did not expect any more content out of this game so it’s a huge surprise. Will be awesome to jump back in.

I just hope that the challenge level of the new fights feels appropriate eg level 99.

How playable is it on the Deck?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I would not recommend it if you have access to another gaming rig.

It's a beautiful game but it looks like a ps1 game on the Deck. You'll really miss out on a lot of details.

It is "playable" but one of the key features of the turn based combat system is that you can Parry, Dodge, And Jump when it's the enemies turn. You're not going to do that very well at the <20 fps on the deck.

Even on my desktop, I didn't get decent at the combat system until I turned the GFX to medium to get over 60 regularly

[–] FiduciaryOne@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I tried it on Windows on the deck and it wasn't what I'd call playable. I have relatively high framerate standards, but...it was like 15fps. Might be better on Linux.

What did work decently was streaming it from my XBox Series X via XBPlay.

[–] bss03 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm on Linux with an old AMD Pioneer (EDIT: AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (radeonsi, vega10, ACO, DRM 3.61, 6.12.48+deb13-amd64)) video card, and I find the game playable, but just barely, and that's after changing the Proton version to match the steamdb recommendations.

There's some visual glitches and definitely low frame rates, but I'm through the second Axon and past the barrier.

Parrying is hard for me, but I just play on Story difficulty and still have fun.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, but why in the ever loving fuck would someone install Windows on a Steam Deck?

[–] FiduciaryOne@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As a dual boot to play games I have on Game Pass but not Steam, like Expedition 33.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That makes a terrifying amount of sense

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

Anyone been playing it on steam deck? How's the fps? Is the text very hard to read?

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

The better be more awesome new music to accompany everything too!

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm still hoping for a "Definitive Edition" type update eventually. There are some parts that could definitely do with a retouching or restructure, the final act in particular.
