A last-minute SteamOS update has saved Doom: The Dark Ages on Steam Deck, and it runs surprisingly okay-ish
(www.rockpapershotgun.com)
put that on my tombstone
At least they're being honest. See too many people saying stuff runs perfect, then get like 20 fps on min settings
Yeah, I completely agree. Doesn't stop publicly celebrating something being "surprisingly okay-ish" from being hilarious to me as a concept, though 😁
I fuckin lol'd
Back in my day, if we wanted medieval Doom, we had to play Heretic
It's a shame we don't get updated sequels to Heretic/Hexen... or Quake, for that matter.
I have fond memories of Hexen. But most of those are overridden by it being the unfortunate game where I finally realized that first person games make me motion sick.
"Oof, I don't feel so hot. Let me keep playing to keep my mind off of it. Maybe a bite to eat. Back to the game, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm..." running to the bathroom and honking up everything I just ate and then some until I'm dry-heaving. I didn't eat hot dogs for a good five years after that.
A buddy of mine wasn't sure if it was FPS's that made him motion sick.
I introduced him to Descent.
He had to go have a lie down.
All these Doom sequels... a proper Descent would kick ass
I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.
Or STRIFE
in a small world, word travels fast...
Or Blood.
Amid Evil is a good Heretic-like game. Also they've done Dusk which is also excellent
Whew what a whirlwind I've had leading up to this while intending to play on deck
Does this mean the game will be playable without (extra) issue on Linux at release date ? That would be kinda nice :)
