As a side note, EA has basically locked me out of my entire library and I gave up trying to fix it. Terrible launcher.
It Takes Two does not require EA app anymore and its Steam Deck Verified now

One of my games, you have to open twice (once to crash, twice to launch correctly).
CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sometimes more than twice. I just keep launching until I can eventually play my game. 60% of the time it works every time.

Add it to the list of platforms I won’t buy from.

Fuck EA btw

My wife found out about The Elephant Scene and refused to ever play it as long as she lives
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah… that was a fun surprise for us.
kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Was it fun though? Or was it awful?
aleph@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah, that part was a distinct bum note in an otherwise enjoyable game. Why the developers thought it was good idea, I’ll never know.
Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
My daughter and I were really mad about this. She wanted us to quit the game. I don’t think it’s really funny or useful to the story either. Still a really fun game.
kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I absolutely get the anger. My wife in particular hates cruelty to animals, fictional, plush, or otherwise, so it’s a line she refuses to cross. That’s a totally fair outlook
CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Interesting, I wonder how they wiggled out from the ea app requirement and if any other EA games have a chance.
Nima@leminal.space 1 year ago
this is what I was honestly most excited about.

Is it The End Of Days?
Is EA actually getting … less shitty??
brognak@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s weirdly cyclical. I remember around when the original Dead Space came out (early iirc) they were acting pretty decently for EA.
szczuroarturo@programming.dev 1 year ago
Honestly they still act shitty. Its just that their competition is ahead of them right now in this particual aspect to the point where you might think they behave fairly decently.
lengau@midwest.social 1 year ago
EA is continuing to do what they’ve always done - attempt to suck up as much money as possible. It just so happens that for once they think being less shitty is the best way to do it. Don’t hold your breath about this being a trend.

Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend’s list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.

Is there ANY way to play this game single?
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
No. It’s two player cooperative gameplay.
One of you will be doing one thing, and the other person something to help them, and it’s always varying what you do.
It’s not like Brothers a Tale of Two Sons, or Kuri Kuri Mix.
jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Can you play it on a single computer or does it have to be two machines? If it’s a single, do you need two controllers or how does that work?
Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 year ago
Great game, had a blast playing it with a buddy. I did not pay for it and there was no launcher either :)
Princeali311@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Great, now do the rest of them
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Anybody know if this game is noob friendly?
Evotech@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Very much so
Bienenvolk@feddit.de 1 year ago
It absolutely is. Had a great time with my girlfriend, who normally doesn’t play at all.
Mango@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And I’m still not gonna buy an EA game. They burned themselves ages ago.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
That’s great news. The game already runs great on Steam Deck, but sometimes the EA app is really difficult to get logged in to.
I highly recommend this to anyone with a dock and a significant other. My wife and I played a lot of it together, and I overheard her telling her friends that it was like we were playing a pixar movie together.
Freeman@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Yep, a truly great game, deserves every award it got
Risk@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Me and my wife… Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh…
I dunno, it’s okay - but I just don’t get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I’d really recommend checking a Let’s Play of it before trying it.
It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you’re both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you’d give up on it too.
Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 year ago
Agreed, we thoroughly enjoyed it - hopefully, they make another game soon!
