    Path of Exile 2

    It's far tankier and can do all content easily for just a couple of div as entry with one button game play. You'll be spending far more to get to the same level of power on deadeye. At unlimited budget deadeye will edge out on MS, but that is it as damage numbers don't matter by that point as...

    Path of Exile 2

    I made the swap at 78 from ED/C. Just adding the xbow and like 3/4 of my passive tree changing. Then at 84 I swapped gear completely and was able to fix my passive tree from the gaps it was filling. I bought everything for super cheap 1-5ex, then desecrated which got me really solid es +...

    Path of Exile 2

    Ok more praise for the lich xbow build. Cleared T4 everything and basically got a wash trade to go from L18 -> L19 requiem pushing over 1.2M tooltip dps. For ~3.5 div invested this is the best build I've played so far based on budget, clear and survivability by a long shot and nothing comes...

    Path of Exile 2

    I was bored this week and decided to give this a try before it's nerfed for being fun. Thanks for posting or I wouldn't have touched the game again this update. Spent about 2 divs total on this char and can clear T15s so far np. Only have 7 div so his final build is far far away =D.

    Path of Exile 2

    Yeah bow is basically the best way to do anything atm for safety. I ran hollowed palm for early/mid, but it just gets outpaced hard by a moderately good rolled qstaff. I'm sure with some sort of ev/es stacker it is probably solid, but again still out classed by qstaff so why even bother.

    Path of Exile 2

    Got around to finishing the new stuff. Neat monster types and boss fights. Zones are still comically large even with checkpoints and sprint. I bet the fresh season campaign is going to be 100+ hours for the average gamer by the time GGG finishes the other acts. Leveling experience felt harder...

    Path of Exile 2

    Should be soon it's usually ~2 hours or so before launch. Just make sure to relaunch steam. Edit: Steam is live now.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Surprisingly I use mine all the time. It has become the primary living room TV gaming system at home and is with me almost always when I'm traveling. It works well since all the local couch coop games are basically pixel or similar graphics and third party games and software like...

    I dont remember which of you linked these back in March when they were preorder, but they finally arrived. Work great on PC. Got everything running on SteamDeck, but it took a little effort. Got all the GH/RB games and like 5k other songs. https://crkd.gg/products/lp-bluebuerry-burst-multi-platform

    It's just garbage bros. Literally bag it, drop it at one of those parking lot trailer donation places and enjoy freedom. You will never miss things you don't use daily and it's a good habit to toss shit you don't touch after 6 months (unless it's seasonal like a snowblower). I went in many...

    Grounded 2 (Obsidian entertainment)

    I think most survival games are boring slop, but completed the original Grounded and enjoyed it the entire time. I would skip the second until it's actually released though since this is just early access.

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Yeah it's not well optimized. I thought it was just the steam deck, but I played today on main PC @4k res and I go from 240 monitor cap to ping ponging around ~100ish with some builds and mob density and the load times while shorter were still pretty noticeable. The visual clarity goes out the...

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Almost finished Act 2. There is a decent amount of depth for build variety and game is still unlocking skill tree and abilities.

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Pretty solid loop. Took me about 3 hours to clear act 1 and then called it a night. Act 2 skills seem neat, excited to try them out. Runs OK on Steamdeck. Long load times and some major fps drops with a couple of builds I had going.

    Monster train

    The changes are about perfect and made me enjoy it enough to buy on Steam (runs great on deck) instead of just Gamepassing. Have like 18 hours in the last few days.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    The option to min/max is there, but if you build for hp/defense it's very forgiving to take hits and having a healer in your party will let you sustain and breeze through story mode/expeditioner difficulties without much worry. The optional content and expert difficulty really want you to be...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    I fizzled out near chap 18 and haven't felt the urge to finish it. Visually great, story is whatever, but the game play just doesn't feel remotely as good as it did in Eternal. Almost never have to weapon swap in nightmare once you are a few chapters and the game just got more faceroll as it...

    Drop Duchy

    The pathing/economy build up along the way is pretty forgiving (at least so far on hard difficulty as I haven't tried extreme/nightmare) so I enjoy the boss portions as it really makes you learn to squeeze the most of your build, but yeah I get it's completely different. I do wish there was a...

    Got half a dozen hours in this weekend. Pretty interesting mix of puzzle genres with a decent amount of depth though it seems like the "boss" levels don't change which is kind of a bummer.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I hope they don't do a sequel based on anything in this specific "world". Even a DLC with a new group of expeditioners would never live up to the base game and be more same same. That isn't necessarily bad, but why do that when the current story/lore gives the option for so much more? If they...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you're good can you just carry or is there a penalty like MH series where if people die it just ends? That's the only way I'd be willing to put up with bad PUGS.

    Running auto death party for NG+. Engage -> party dies and kills everything from on death effects -> back to business. Wonder how far it'll get me before I have to start attacking for real again.

    I finished everything (all collections/bosses/tower etc) blind expert...I think ;[ Hardest fight Simon. Bitch took me like 30 tries with my non OP damage set up so I was really tempted to cheese him. Good luck to those that find him and don't cheese. The rest of the fights weren't bad 1-5 times...

    If you want all 100 yes, but it's incremental so you can get stacks of 20 per set number of turn ins. There is another quest that gives up to 100 as well with the white nevrons. The gestral beach zones are fun!

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Nah if you do everything you get plenty. The journal dude in gestral market gives you like 100 alone and there are tons of ways to get them without grinding.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I had like 20 resets without buying any off the vendors so plenty to screw around with. Lumina isn't that rare, but if you want to really juice all 5 characters you'll have to farm some. I've got like 300 points into my main 3 without issues or any extra farming.

    Yeah once I figured out a couple builds that were doing 8-9 digits and one shot a couple of bosses I toned it back cause I was pissed I didn't get to see what they do <_<

    Been using Verso/Lune/Maelle the entire time. IDK and IDC if the others are good because at this point I'm too vested with all the time spent perfecting my picto set ups, stats and weapons for these 3. Maybe NG+ they'll get some screen time. Also don't worry if you build properly you'll be...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Agree 100% and I watch anime. I played Granblue Fantasy Relink towards end of last year and while I had fun with the game overall, the art/characters are just so cringy to me, but if it released with a more mature art style it would have been so much more popular and enjoyable.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I'm not counting mobile at all. This is just via steam release independent of any other which was around ~20k games last year and it's only growing. If we include all platforms/devices everywhere it's probably way higher. Even if most of the games won't see the inside of someones harddrive they...
