My dad has been playing it, and almost exclusively it, for years. From 360 to Xbox One to Xbox Series X. It’s literally the only game he even has for the X, he bought the machine just to play Skyrim. He was so excited to find mods. Idk how many thousands of hours he has in it.

To be fair, it was a really fun game. They did a great job with it. In fact, I’ve been itching to play it again.

At the bottom it does say “…by hours played” indicating it’s in ranked order.
- Kissaki ( @Kissaki@feddit.de ) 3•1 year ago
“top 20 by hours played” doesn’t specify order though, does it? Sure, it’s expected. But not explicit. I guess you expect “20 most played games” otherwise?

thank you. no way im going on twitter even for a second.

Halls of Torment
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
- Leon ( @Leon@kbin.social ) 8•1 year ago
glad to see it sneaking up on the list here, looking forward to updates
- sim_ ( @sim_@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year ago
I’m surprised too! Feels like this game came out of nowhere and still has lots of room to grow, good for the devs.
- Overzeetop ( @Overzeetop@beehaw.org ) 16•1 year ago
Apologies - I think the Witcher was mostly me. I finally decided I was going to finish it so I could move on to something new.
- CaptKoala ( @CaptKoala@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year ago
I’ve been playing it since it launched, I’ll replay it until Geralt isn’t cool anymore.
- censor ( @censor@lemm.ee ) English15•1 year ago
shoutout to all the brotato mains

I really gotta fuckin buy that

There’s my 80+ hours of Stardew Valley in the past week lol
Making a difference!!!
- EddoWagt ( @EddoWagt@feddit.nl ) 2•1 year ago
80 hours in a week?

Stardew is a full time job

Company I worked for committed seppuku, figured I’d find a way to relax
- Gleddified ( @Gleddified@lemmy.ca ) 10•1 year ago
Not sure what it says about the current state of gaming that so many of these games are quite old
- conciselyverbose ( @conciselyverbose@kbin.social ) 24•1 year ago
Not much? I eyeball it as about 1/4 of the games being in the last two years. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
If an actual majority were brand new games it would just tell you that PC gamers (or at least steam deck) are just chasing novelty over quality. It’s OK not to play every brand new game right on release, and it’s OK to play older games.
- sarfunkel ( @sarfunkel@kbin.social ) 13•1 year ago
It looks like 1/4 of the games were released in the last 2 months(ish) lol:
-Baldur’s Gate 3
-Dave the Diver
-Armored Core 6
-Holocure
-Remnant 2If I’m counting it right, half of the games were released in the last 2 years
- conciselyverbose ( @conciselyverbose@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
Yeah, I didn’t search. Just did the ones I immediately recognized as recent big budget ones.
- GreenMario ( @GreenMario@lemm.ee ) 20•1 year ago
It’s the Steam Deck. Older games are gonna run better.
- regalia ( @regalia@literature.cafe ) 13•1 year ago
Nah last few years have released some of the best games of all time. Just this year alone we got TOTK and Baulders Gate 3. Gaming is in really good shape right now.
- leif ( @leif@beehaw.org ) English10•1 year ago
Glad to see Stardew Valley in the list 😊
- Lupec ( @lupec@lemm.ee ) 8•1 year ago
I’ve been happily adding to Dave the Diver’s numbers, such a perfect fit! Pretty interesting list all around, definitely some surprises in there.
- rotopenguin ( @rotopenguin@infosec.pub ) English6•1 year ago
It is amazing how every time you think “surely by now, I must have seen most of what Dave has to offer” it fires off another bonkers event.
- Lupec ( @lupec@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
Yup, never ceases to amaze me! If with no context you’d described to me everything the game throws at you, I’d straight up think it’d never work but, amazingly, it all somehow fits together nicely. Hell, the base roguelite + management sim premise is wild enough on its own lol.
Very much looking forward to whatever they come up with next!
- ObiGynKenobi ( @ObiGynKenobi@beehaw.org ) 7•1 year ago
Gotta assume those BG3 Steam Deck numbers are gonna tank as people get into acts 2 and 3. Act 1 runs quite well on deck, but no amount of low settings or disabled features provides an acceptable level of performance.
- Mars ( @Mars@beehaw.org ) English7•1 year ago
I’m on act 3. The performance level is acceptable to me. 30fps/1080p (docked) on low settings.
I’m having more bugged quest or game does not want to detect your mouse right now problems than graphics or performance ones.
- ObiGynKenobi ( @ObiGynKenobi@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
There are bugged quests, glitched cameras and abruptly disappointed dialogue aplenty in the back half of the game, for sure. Mind sharing your complete game settings? And are you overclocking or something? I’m genuinely astounded by the performance you’re getting and would like to try to recreate.
- GreenAlex ( @GreenAlex@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
Have you played since the 2nd patch in the last few days? From what I’ve heard it’s a reasonable improvement but I haven’t booted it up yet.
- ObiGynKenobi ( @ObiGynKenobi@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Yeah, I went back and tried it again yesterday, fully updated. I have no idea how anyone is getting 30 FPS on steam deck in act 3, unless they’re in the camp or something.
- GreenAlex ( @GreenAlex@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Yeah we played some today and still dip below 30 in act 2, so I’m guessing the final act is still in rough shape. Still managed to feel much smoother, though, so hopefully they continue the trend.
- brokenlcd ( @brokenlcd@feddit.it ) 6•1 year ago
seeing fallout 4 and skyrim still doing so well brings a smile to my face, at the time i genuinely bought a ps4 so i could play them
- Underwear ( @Underwear@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
Same with The Witcher
- littlecolt ( @littlecolt@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
WTF is Dave the Diver?
- suckaduck ( @suckaduck@feddit.nl ) 6•1 year ago
Really cute and relaxing game. Lots of charm and perfect for the steam deck. In this game youre a dude named Dave, a diver, who catches fish by day and works in a sushi bar by night. I stopped playing zelda totk for this haha.
- Zoop ( @Zoop@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
I’m wondering the same about that and about whatever the heck is called “Brotato!” Do you play as a potato? I’m intrigued
- nigelinux ( @nigelinux@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
It’s a vampire survivors like bullet heaven game. Edit: I mean Brotato.
- Kaldo ( @Kaldo@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
How is elden ring’s performance on steam deck?
- conciselyverbose ( @conciselyverbose@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
40 is better than 30, IMO. It’s not rock solid, but the drops mostly happen in transition areas where you aren’t in combat, and 30 has very noticeable input lag.
Medium graphic settings solid 30fps, or not that stable 40fps with sime settings turned down.
It was my mist played game on the deck befor baldurs gate 3
- RileyIsBad (she/her) ( @RileyIsBad@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
I probably contribute like half the hours Fallout 4 is getting, once you go through the pain of getting modding working how you want, it’s so easy to sink another hundred or so hours into it.
Lil Steamie Decky is hauling ass with 200 plugins just fine (assuming you don’t mind cranking everything to low settings, but you won’t notice it much on that display)
- mctoasterson ( @mctoasterson@reddthat.com ) 2•1 year ago
Honestly I know the Deck can run recent and current AAA titles but I generally have had just as much fun playing low-demand games like Stardew, Dead Cells, Caveblazers, etc.
