I don't really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I'll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age_II lots of good information in the wiki page, of which none of your claims are accurate except for maybe the polarizing views on reused assets but that's literally by design, not crunch. It sold more than origins and sold over a million copies in two weeks, that's pretty damn good. Nice rage baiting though.

Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won't touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.

You have your opinion but it's definitely in the vocal minority.

No idea why there are so many people who want this game to fail. Bioware has realistically made two bad games, Andromeda and Anthem, and for me Andromeda has the best gameplay in the entire series, not necessarily the best story and anthem is just not great. It's crazy the amount of bioware hate that exists that's completely unwarranted.

This isn't marathon, this is Bungie trying to make something new and hoping people buy it because of an established intellectual property.

Nope, it's completely proprietary, there's no flag to flip for proton. It's just borked on the deck now.

They did, AMD holds the x64 license, Intel holds the x86.

We've reached the power limits of what AI and LLMs are capable of, that's why Google, Microsoft and Amazon are investing in nuclear power and funding projects like reopening three mile Island. They need a good clean source of energy to fuel these data centers running copilot and Gemini. The thing is they don't want us to know they're at their limits right now, because when they admit that, the AI bubble will burst and investment money will dry up. That's where we are right now, humanity has created something that requires so much energy to run that nuclear fuel is the only option to keep up with power demands. At least it's clean and efficient energy.

If there was ever a time for valve to push advertising out for the steam deck and steamOS it's now. The final piece of the gaming puzzle is anticheat. If valve gets the proprietary anticheat makers on board then it's all over. Every major hurdle would've been overcome, but games like valorant and call of duty still don't work because of vanguard and ricochet.

With how terrible windows handhelds are, imagine how awesome it would be for those cod players to be able to play a round of warzone on the toilet? I joke, but seriously, that's the demographic that needs to adopt a platform like the steam deck. That's the barrier valve has to overcome, and I'm worried they just don't care or something even more legally gray is happening, like Microsoft giving game devs incentive to use proprietary anticheat or to just not flip that EAC flag in their code.

There are a ton of PC gamers who think the only way to play a video game is 1440p 60-144fps and anything below that is unplayable. The reality is the steam deck is a 720p 30fps handheld device that can occasionally make it to 60fps if pushed far enough.

IMHO a device that can run a game like God of war Ragnarok at 30fps in handheld mode and still play fine when docked is succeeding on the performance front in several aspects. In comparison, the switch version of Wolfenstein the new Colossus had to remove entire sets of geometry to even hit 30fps where the deck can hit that easily with the same settings without removing geometry and using AMD FSR. I think the deck has at least 3 more years in it before we even start to see any needed upgrades at that performance. Only time will tell.

So that's great, but halo IMO is the least FOMO inducing mp game on the market with battle passes. You can actually "equip" the season pass you want to level and work on it, the best thing is they never go away so there's literally not a single bit of FOMO, only the illusion. Regardless, I see your point for the other games and I commend you for making the change.
