Been playing this one on my PC and Steam Deck for different sessions.
Sadly the command line stopped working as a non-steam shortcut for some strange reason and totally ignores all the commands.
I just moved on to play on PC instead and ended up with a dual chain gun that shoots green walls of insta death to anything and everything.
It can be really tough to find the rare icon item for unlocking certain rooms in the hub world and some aren't permanent unlocks either so I've just been backing up my save and continuing with my green wall of death chain gun till I can find the darn things.
I at least managed to open up the shop which improves the game some.
Perhaps later updates will balance the difficulty starting out cause it can be super rough really fast then once I'm over powered the challenge is gone somewhat.

Overall the clever use of random changes to the maps and the hub world, extra animations etc is some fine master work.

Curious how forcing multiplayer might work out though, hopefully a multiplayer consideration could be built in for later versions.

It's a great mod worth at least trying a few times.

Same with Reelism 2 which is great on the Steam Deck for quick runs as well.

Quoting: DerpFoxI really don't know if I should feel happy that the deck is getting upgraded, showing how well it is doing. Or really angry that it is getting upgraded so soon. I got the "bigger and better" more expensive Deck thinking about the future, thinking the deck won't get any significant upgrade for the next 5 years (like everything else) and if we needed, we could always go to third parties for bigger SSD, batteries etc. And here I am 1 year later looking at this ... that really doesn't sit right with me. And the thing I think I hate the most is the limited edition translucent case. Not that I don't like translucent case, I love them, always loved them since I was a kid. If this was available when the deck first got out, I would have bought it. No, what I hate the most is the "limited edition", I really despise that kind of thing. It's really the first time I'm disappointed at valve.

Yeah did the same thing and feeling salty too.
Can't just whip out anothwr 700 bucks on a whim forna version I'd have been down for in the forst place.
Be nice if early adopters got a deal here for their loyalty but eh if it's gonna be like this maybe I'll skip this and a deck 2 as well.
The price to pay when jumping in early I suppose.

I think it woulda been fair if they just waited till next year and announced it now so we could all plan for it and have a chance to resell our current ones before a price drop.

Only been a year and they release a version I wanted in the first place heh.
I have enjoyed the deck but kinda hard to afford a new one right now.

Really wish they offered an upgrade deal for us day one buyers who waited it out and supported the their first release.
Got the 512 with the etched screen I didnt want but I dunno, maybe it'll be considered rare now?

Yeah it does feel too soon for a revision when the warranty has just ended not long ago for day one buyers.
One more year to wait heh.

Least the price is around the same but now I wonder if there will be yet another upgrade next year.
Which would be great if they had an upgrade trade in plan.

Glitch wise, how bout the battery levels?
Mine still randomly shuts off at 30% or more and requires retraining, especially if I let it idle in sleep for too long like a day.
Maybe I just need to clean install my os and start fresh.
Battery itself is still operating at full or near full capacity it's just irritating.

Gyro and overall analog configurations wise, I'd like to see more advanced control options.
A lot of these modes dont match what I want and I'd like to set it up raw one to one input sometimes.
For a game that aims where you hold for example or flight games.
Also I might be the only one who wants to tie two flight sticks into one virtual pad.
If only there was a plugin system for crazy stuff.

Card storage and usb ports at front wouldnbe nice.
Could wire up a hub and sacrifice a usb port for four more ports up front.

Not a bad design but for the price it'll likely be I'd like more functionality.

I'd reqlly like to see a veritical dock

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: shadow1w2Four USB ports in front would be nice even if it had to reroute a USB port in the back for it.
Two back USB ports would be enough perhaps.
As much as I have nostalgia in the SNES I would like to see a Sega Genesis/Sega CD/Saturn styled one some day.

I suspect the price will be a bit high though so can't say I'd impulse buy one but if it's compact enough I could find it useful in travel.

Tower of Power version!

Yes, thousand times yes!

Some of those players might just be looking at the menus and uninstalling.
A better metric might be if they actually play and if they come back once a week.
I used to play OW weekly but I have a hard time justifying wasting my time with OW1.2 even monthly.
Sometimes I just look at my old inventory then quit but that'll count as a concurrent player till I log off.

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: shadow1w2Sure could emulate them great but an official resource is good, especially when they don't toss out an odd version or two.

I'm hoping that they'll be using the official retranslations for the MSX titles, since they've included them as bonuses in some previous releases as well, and the original official English version of the first MSX Metal Gear was apparently missing a lot of the script.

I don't think we have much to worry about there Konami has been good about their retro collections and will likely use the best version thats already out there.
I hope they include that original bad translation too just for curiosity sake.
Then no one will have to dig out the rom just to find out.
Hmm though I guess the remake of the ps1 game might not be in there just the PS1 version so it might not be complete.
Maybe I missed something.

Good to see them make a collection with the original MSX games and the very different NES games all together.
I never got around to playing these but it's a good chance to catch up.

I've been enjoying the new overlay since it was in beta.
One thing I like that seems a bit new is the achievement window now able to be pinned and organizing the order of achievements to put unfinished ones on top.
If you resize it to display only one or two achievements make it transparent and pin it, it makes a handy little reminder.

Do wish we could have a clock and timer widget too as I like to see a clock as I play my games so I don't play too long.

I'd say a widget workshop would be nice too but I think that's beyond the scope.
Though I suppose the browser could be pinned with a useful tool displayed on a page.

It's a big improvement so far and it's been a great bit of help in some games.

Looking forward to seeing how they implement these things on the Steam Deck as I'm getting a bit spoiled by them on PC now.
