Quoting: GuestThe gameplay has its share of annoying things too: for example i haven't found a way to toggle stealth on the entire party, it's pretty annoying to have to toggle it individually on all characters to avoid being caught.

Shift-C. There's a tutorial pop-up on this, so you must have missed that.

I'm only five hours in, but enjoying it so far. Inventory management isn't great though, although I've found plenty of traders to offload junk so far (there's like about three of them in the Emerald Grove alone).

Quoting: AsciiWolfWhat about the original version? Is it still available?

By the way, I still dream of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars being re-released on Steam.

Enemy Territory was absolutely immense. It was the first arena game that I played that had actual roles/classes. Or at least, definitely the first one where those mattered, anyway.

From the screenshots, it looks like the enemy models have been updated too? Or am I just remembering my original play-through at 800x600?? :grin:

Quoting: GuestWait, where is destiny 2. Shouldn't it be in the top 100?

Yeah, it's 25th overall for me right now, 23rd by daily players. I wonder if the list changes by time of day so much that even the top-25 can drop out briefly. Maybe when the US is asleep?

Quoting: SlackdogSeems like anti-cheat the main reason for non playable, good times!

Yep, other than Soundboard and Wallpaper Engine, which aren't games (as noted in the article), it's all anti-cheat. Well, that's not quite true on the Steam Deck front - there's a couple of examples there like DayZ and Total War Warhammer 3 which don't work there, even if they're native! Presumably just not enough power to make the games work.

But generally, yeah, anti-cheat. Pretty frustrating to be this close and still have that one technology trip up a portion of the experience.

Quoting: 14I am not experiencing any problems with the game. I am not running any launch options, no MangoHUD, the normal Proton (not GE), mainline kernel. It's too bad several of you are mentioning bugs, but I have to wonder why. The game was in EA for a LONG time, so I was confident enough to buy it on release day. I'm quite happy.

Some people can't even get their stock SteamDeck to run this, so the issues feel very random. I have no idea what would cause such a wide range of experiences.

You know, putting aside the performance issues, bugs and last-minute changes, there's one reason I'll probably buy this. Denuvo. That is, the utter lack of Denuvo.

And better yet...

Yep, the lack of Denuvo had no appreciable effect on the sales of this title. Glad I was sitting down when that bombshell landed, eh?

Makes me wonder how Denuvo pitch their shitty technology to any big-name studio who wants to do Early Access.

This game has been in EA for... nearly three years?! And the forums are absolutely heaped with problems and issues, for Windows folk. I don't understand how Larian could get this so wrong. Performance issues, crashes and it looks like they've made last-minute changes to gameplay, races, and classes that are pissing everyone off too.

Incredibly disappointing.

Quoting: PenglingThey're both up for pre-order on Amazon UK now;

Famicom version

NES version

Wow, I thought the big buttons would be extras, but you get both with the keyboard, for £90! I'm in. I'm not gonna pre-order, but this could be a sweet little christmas present from me to me this year, we'll see.

Quoting: soulsourceNot even a numpad? That doesn't make me optimistic about the quality of the device...

I did my best to see the connection between no numpad and quality and I can't, so please enlighten me.

There are literally keys missing. They obviously forgot to mount those. They didn't even bother to assemble it completely!

(If that isn't clear, I am joking, and was joking when I wrote that other comment. Maybe I should stop. Seems I'm not good at it.)

I got that this reply was a joke... but I definitely didn't get the first reply as a joke! Ah, the sweet sweet tone-deafness of the internet. Love it! :grin:
