I reported Aura: Fate of the Ages issue 2 weeks ago, 19 years old game... what a reaction time

Quoting: AllocWish they also added a similar rule to images showing actual gameplay vs renders. Can't remember what it was last time but I just had that case a few days ago where there was like a dozen or so images first after the numerous trailers that did not show *actual gameplay* either.

If I am not mistaken that is actually a rule. Screenshots should show actual gameplay.

Oh, I remember playing the alpha demo 2 years ago. Shame it doesn't have a demo right now... the alpha was way too basic and from the video it doesn't look like *that* much has changed.

Quoting: jordicomaThe graphics cards are to expensive nowadays.

The powerful ones might be, but there is plenty of cheaper options (e.g. integrated GPUs) that are good enough to play newer games. I mean Steam Deck is better than your old gtx660.

What is a BFU?
Well, it is deregatory acronym for users. True meaning is Bloody Fucking User, but I was using it in a more simple sense as in... just regular Joe (Windows) user.

ProtonDB seems to mention that performance gets significantly better after enabling Resizable BAR.

Quoting: BeamboomI think it's SO strange that the steam deck performance can differ this much from the desktop Linux.

But I guess this does demonstrate why some are hesitant with porting their game to Linux. Can't say I blame them.

Blaming entire platform for shortcoming of a game, or a GPU driver. This is common when BFUs compare Linux vs Windows for gaming, I would expect better from actual Linux users though.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! gets Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

Quoting: Solitary... be it for it's serious yakuza story...

That's a bit of a stretch. It's an idealized view of the gangster, still protrayed as someone that wants to do good in society, albeit through doubtful morals, with little criticising of the society that forces people into this kind of organizations.

But yes, the game is good, and it's definitely very much a love or hate relationship with it.

I meant serious, as in - taken seriously - even though heavily romanticized. The issues touched on are quite heavy and real (corruption, murder, torture, betrayal... and friendship).

All that in comparison to side quests which are exact polar opposite, very light-hearted and touching stories. So much heart in these games. Pocket Circuit Fighter FTW!

QuoteI'll admit something to you: I've not actually played any of the Yakuza / Like a Dragon games. Am I missing something big here?

Yes, yes you are... but it is kinda love it or hate it don't get it, type of deal. I think everyone will tell you, just try Yakuza 0 and see for yourself. The start of the game is bit slow (like few hours slow), but once the game presents itself and opens up, you are left with a game that will keep you hooked for it's entire duration, be it for it's serious yakuza story, for it's whacky side quests, interesting characters, for it's constantly fresh, new and unexpected gameplay, full and rich open-world or just simply fun combat.
