Very cool. Now it just needs to drop in price.

I'm willing to wait for it to hit under $20

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Even Spiderman never gets below $20.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

It probably will now that Spider Man 2 is out. GoW only started having sales below $20 once GoW Ragnarok was released.

But Spider Man 2 isn't going below $20 for years and years.

Its only a matter of time

Okay but does it work? Looked it up on launch and the reviews were chock full of crashes and bugs.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They've been updating it regularly and it's in a much better state today than it was at launch.

does it run well on the steamdeck?

Looking at the reviews, it seems that even higher end pc hardware is having trouble

Edit: According to experiences on reddit: it barely runs

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah it's still looking pretty rough, but I guess it is playable. Drops below 30 quite regularly and relies heavily on upscaling. But it looks like a better experience than FF7 Rebirth is on steam deck.

For handheld, I'd live with it if I couldn't stream from a PC for whatever reason. But if playing docked on a monitor or tv, this wouldn't cut it for me.

Note, I haven't actually bought this game yet, I'm waiting for sales.

I just have to keep reminding myself that these are games designed and targeted for the PS5, and to honestly be running in any decent capacity on the steam deck is quite a feat in its own right.

Gabe Sparrow: "But it does run."

Hmmm I will look at picking it up in the Spring sale then.

At this point, these types of posts seem pointless unless they have actually been verified by the users

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The fans spin so quickly only my cat can hear it.

[–] HandBash@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not sure how it plays on Steam Deck but on PC I have only had 1 crash in like 25 hours. A solid 60-80 frames too with ray tracing in high. I haven't had a bad experience at all.
