Only question I'm asking myself is whether to get an oled steam deck now, or wait.. worried ill buy one now and it will be discounted next year or something, but with their focus on steam machine 2.0 at least I don't have to worry about a steam deck 2 round the corner as its probably a long way off atm

Yall really think 1080p is the common res for living room tvs? Here in the US, I don't think I know anyone with a 1080p tv. Can you even still buy them? I mean like if I go to costco, every single set is 4k. And you can get the low end ones for around $200. I would wager highly that the common tv res in the states is 4k.

Which means the "machine" will struggle. Or just use all that upscaling / framegen that I cannot stand. I guess that'll make people playing on the couch happy though, because the other consoles all do it too. So maybe no big deal.

On a basic point, this is so exciting! Getting more stuff like this out into the masses is so awesome!!! As Liam said, I'm hoping this is another tipping point!! woooo!!

I have no interest in vr at all, and I already game in the living room on my plex server, so not in the market for the "machine", but DEFINITELY in the market for the controller. I think the layout seems pretty weird (has there ever been a layout like this before?) and doesn't it look like we will all be activating the track pads with our palms constantly all the time? I mean, can't be, so whatever, I'm in for sure on that controller!

I've never used an auto install mod list for openmw before but now I DEFINITELY want to try it. Might even give it a go later this week! Exciting! Thank you for the link.

Oh man, does this mean I need to book another day off of work to install mods and then fire up the game? I think so right ... ?

^ I had the good fortune of watching the show after a good friend of mine went through the entire thing. He told me exactly specifically where to stop watching and just consider that the end, and not watch the actual end. I was so glad for that!

This game is tough to compare to other games, since it had insane levels of hype and wishlists, but I do wonder how many people gave up on it (as I did) simply due to frustrating difficulty. Are we a minority or a majority? Not sure.

You know it's some ultra shitty lawyer reason / publisher reason for this. When this kind of thing happens, I really wish one of the old devs would anon drop a torrent with all of it and share it on bluesky or whatever, just to keep it alive.

YESSSS!!! PoE2 is one of my fav games of the past decade, but I never played 1 because of the lack of tb mode. I just can't stand rtwp. This is so wonderful and I'm so happy they're spending time revisiting such an old game. Love it!

As soon as I finish my playthrough on ANOTHER obsidian game (ow2) I'll definitely be giving this a go.
