Think it ll happen to Steamdeck to? I still want one of those.

Steamdeck is a mini computer. It can run steam obviously but it can also run epic games, origin games, emulated games etc.

Stadia died because its just playing games run off the cloud. They are turning off the servers and so stadia doesnt exist anymore.

You may one day lose your steam access if steam somehow went bankrupt but the steamdeck would still work. Stadia is promising people refunds for the hardware and game purchases though.

A solo Dev project from Korea. Native warrior with powers exploring alien spaceships.

Looks pretty neat.

Apparently Gotham knights sucks. Not too surprised. The more gameplay I saw the more underwhelming it seemed. Coop doesn’t fix bad games. It elevates good games.

Sometimes co-op can make an otherwise middling or bad game amazingly fun - Wolfenstein Youngblood would have SUCKED as a single player game, but as a co-op, holy shit that game was dumbass fun.

VERY fine line, though. Easy to tip too far the wrong way.

Yeah, As much as I liked Arkham Origins, I'm waiting for a deep sale on this one.

SOMA, or "what the fuck why are there two of them if they kiss is that selfcest or what".

In seriousness, I am loving the story in this game, it's exactly the right level of fucked up existential horror.

Game Awards are coming, and should be bringing news

Dragon Age 4, the next Star Wars Jedi game, Baldur's Gate III, and Final Fantasy XVI release date trailer possibly.

Might get less AA trailers though, which would be a shame tho.

A little under two hours until the Xbox Developer Direct goes live.

Not really sure what to expect. Supposedly Bethesda is the focus. There'll be no Starfield presentation but definitely more Redfall. I wonder what else? Indiana Jones? Quake?

More broadly I'm hoping for some Fable or Gears 6 news

I mean, they said what this was all about ahead of time.

Though the new rhythm action game from Tango was a (leaked) surprise.

Redfall is coming out May 2nd, may check it out via GamePass.

Dead Space is reviewing really well, but i can't justify spending that much on a somewhat
improved version of a game I can still play.

Forspoken seems to not be doing super-well. I downloaded the demo, need to check it out at some point, but that price tag is hefty, I'll be looking out for a sale in the 40 CAD range.

Hogwarts: Legacy is getting solid reviews. Kinda itching to buy it but I'm not sure I'll find the time to play a lot.

Anyone of you buying it day one?

I wasn't going to bother with it expecting it to turn out to be a disaster but now after the reviews I'm very tempted to pick it up for this weekend.

Absolutely not. That harridan still makes royalty money for it which will go right back into harming marginalized communities. It, like the rest of that misbegotten franchise, should be avoided and shunned.

Unfortunately, I watched the IGN review that gave Hogwarts a 9/10. Despite the score, what I was shown was a game that looked terrible (for me). Which is great all in all, because then I don't have to consider giving Rowling any money.

Watched the Nintendo Direct this morning.

Two cool surprises.

Game Boy and Gameboy Advance are available now on Switch Online. There's a ton of games I wanted to play when I was younger but couldn't afford, or weren't available in Denmark. Definitely gonna play all the Mario's, Zelda's and Kirbys.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is also available from today. If the reviews are solid I'll be playing that over the weekend.
