  • Well, current-gen needs some exclusives that would make people want to upgrade. First party, and big 3rd party do that. Smaller games have to go where the people are. No one is going to upgrade to next generation for “Raiden Nova”, so they don’t have much of a choice.

    Not to mention, with how powerful last-gen was (even if we discount Switch), most indies can easily run on them without any downgrade, so why not release on them.

    Though, in general, I completely agree with you, and have stated that myself many times.
















  • Ah, it’s annoying when a game you love change those things in the sequel. Hope rest of the game makes it worth your time.

    I played Tomb Raider on PS3 and remember liking it a lot. Though I had only played the first Uncharted by then, so can’t compare it with other similar games. Haven’t played the sequels yet, but they are both on my backlog.

    As for the trophies. I used to be a bit of a trophy hunter back then, I worked REALLY hard for them. I recall the quickest way was to play multiplayer PvP alone, and keep collecting stuff. I spent quite a few hours on it, and then calculated that I would need around 20 (don’t remember exact amount) or more hours of doing that, and I just gave up. Have only 2 last trophies left.

    This was also the first step of me stop caring about the trophies. Now I only care for them if I am really liking the game, and spending just a tiny bit of time more, or doing some side stuff along the way will help me get the Platinum, otherwise I just ignore them completely.

    Good luck for the search for new game.








  • I agree with you, handheld can never compete with a desktop when it comes to raw power. So, if companies don’t consider it as a platform to target for, you’ll always have problem with latest games. Maybe not at launch, but you can’t upgrade a handheld “console” every year or two.

    That’s the good thing about consoles, you buy it, and you know (most of) the games that come to the platform will just run on it.

    I don’t have a SteamDeck so not sure how it works, but maybe they should make a sub-store for SteamDeck, that only has games that are verified to run on it. They can still have an option to search and download game from full steam store, but it should come as a warning that these games aren’t specifically made / optimized for Deck.

    Just thinking out loud. Don’t actually know what SteamDeck owners really want. :-)
