E: refunded Mirror’s Edge, it was running at like 5 FPS on low settings.
In the future try checking ProtonDB before refunding. For Mirror’s Edge in particular, it seems all you have to do is disable
PhysX.ProtonDB is an amazing tool, everyone should check it out!
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 month ago
Nice. Well I happened to see it on sale on GoG and I prefer to buy from there anyway so I’ll give it another try.

Gris is great. Small, but beautiful.
mohab@piefed.social 1 month ago
If anyone can afford it, I recommend the Neva + Gris bundle. Neva is even better, IMO.
mrhenry77@lemmy.world 1 month ago
mirrors edge is a gem, and i played the whole thing on deck years ago, it ran flawlessly!
Snoopey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Were there any physx settings turned on when running Mirror’s Edge? It can bring a 5090 to it’s knees due to removal of 32bit physx support. Great recent gamer’s nexus video on it. Anyway, physx running on the CPU with Mirror’s Edge kills fps

I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

What brand is your phone ? Computer ? Underwear ?
danielquinn@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:
I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.
You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

Great, whataboutism. Your argument is stupid. Get a better one.
kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 month ago
If you already have these things, you make no stance by throwing them away.
It’s never too late to start change.

Fortunately, price info is actually tracked! If you use the SteamDB browser extension you can see the historical low price right on a game’s product page on Steam.
For example, Terraria is on sale for it’s 2 year low price of $4.99, but the lowest it’s ever been is $1.99 (a little over ten years ago).
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.
I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.

I’ve been eyeing Signals, Children of the Sun, Jusant, and Weird West for some time now. Maybe Floppy Knights and FAR Changing Tides too
hangonasecond@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Jusant is cool. Deck runs kinda loud but the gameplay is very enjoyable on controller.
mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.
inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 month ago
Thanks for the heads up! I’m a fan of the people behind it and follow the development closely so I’m kind of biased and know what I’m getting into haha

Helldivers 2, fingers crossed it runs decent
PrincessKadath@ani.social 1 month ago
Well, does it?
chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Helldivers 2 runs great on my Steam Deck LCD. Great game.
pathief@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I bought Dredge and Nine Sols!
SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Both are terrific
PrincessKadath@ani.social 1 month ago
Dredge is great.
mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.
ssroxnak@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I told myself not to buy any games until KCD2 is out on GOG. But I am tempted
Stampela@startrek.website 1 month ago
I got Warplanes Air Corp and also Battle over the Pacific. And Dragon Age Veilguard.
However, lol, the servers must be a little overloaded, it’s downloading at dozens of megabits and, running a speed test at the same time gave me over 700 so yeah. It’ll take some patience XD
keyez@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Finally gonna pull the trigger on the dead space remake.
Also waiting for The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Raganarok to go below $25 because I still have a handful of other games to finish and start.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 month ago
Yeah, I have a pretty good list of Sony games I’m just waiting on better sales on.
Like the first Spiderman should really be selling for cheaper now that both Miles and 2 are out.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I’d have to look at my wishlist and see what’s available for a good price.
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
i have a lot to get but i recently surprise bought blobun just because of this > polygon.com/…/blobun-lesbian-toggle-steam-lgbtq-o…

Unfortunately Gog can get off their ass and make a Linux library launcher/updater.
Meanwhile Valve maintains my library, uses my is OS of choice in a flagship product, and improves my gaming experience.
Steam manages all my saves and shares my library with my family.
What has gog done again? DRM free? Not so useful if I can’t play it all. Yes I could use a third party launcher but at that point why bother.
I would like to support Gog I have an account thier. But they don’t want to support me.
So Steam it is.
coronach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month ago
Indeed. I exclusively used gog for many years and have since given up. Steam is so much better and actually makes Linux a platform to play on.
moonburster@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If you don’t like it, why bother to comment on it?
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Dead Cells already bought.
cron@feddit.org 1 month ago
I bought Station to Station, a nice peaceful train simulation game.
TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 1 month ago
I bought Mad Max because I originally played it when it was on Game Pass years ago and would like to do another run.
For the Deck specifically I got Art of Rally, Rogue Legacy 2, and Deep Rock Survivor. I’ve been playing a lot of Deep Rock Survivor.
atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Aestik it’s been on my wishlist for awhile and I don’t see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.
aislopmukbang@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
In this economy?
Obviously something to get my mind off this economy.
