I think the answer to that might depend on what you like and don't like about X4. I think overall I prefer X4, but this is a good game -- and since the engine is older it's not pushing my laptop nearly as hard as X4 does.

It's always fun to try to get software to run on something it shouldn't work on.

I definitely remember scooting around the ducts in X Rebirth!

@@bigratt51g yees! rebirth! haha

I've really been enjoying it on Deck. I've played it on and off for years, but I'm hoping to finally complete all of the DLC before Clans is released.

I've updated the video description with my current settings. I still get some major fps dips when I'm playing in sandbox and approach a busy area that loads a lot of assets, but it still runs smoother than it did when I tried to play it on deck last year. If I had to put my finger on one thing, I'd say the PowerTools plugin for Decky Loader is probably helping. When I started testing out settings for Mechwarrior 5 a while back, the PowerTools settings gave me a nice little performance bump.

I'll probably start a fresh save once I get tired of playing the Timelines missions. We'll see how it holds up. Thanks for stopping by!

No, I've got one of the original 512GB models with the antiglare screen.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give it a try when I get the chance.

The X series is interesting, wish I had discovered it decades ago!

@@bigratt51g some of my oldest favorite videos are of x

A perfect storm of mission prep, cut scenes, and a night beachhead mission... :)

Thanks for watching! I've been trying to learn the board game and I thought this would be an interesting way to familiarize myself with the miniatures.

⁠@@bigratt51g No problem! How long have you been in the boardgame scene?

@@witherrose1566 The most honest answer would probably be that I've never really been into the scene. It's not a popular hobby where I'm at. I've just always enjoyed the Mechwarrior games and turn-based tactics games, so I thought I'd try to learn more about it. I have a game set up on an extra table in my office and I play both sides. I've played a few games online recently with MegaMek.

There's probably a bit of a graphical downgrade going on, but I haven't seen anything I would complain about. I test a lot of games on my Steam Deck, so lower graphical settings and 720p/1080p output feels normal to my eyes. I've actually forgotten I was playing on Switch a few times.

Yes! I saw they released a patch that was supposed to improve performance. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Thank you, that's good to know. I hadn't noticed that before, but I think Tears of the Kingdom might be the only Switch game I've used the Dualsense on for any extended play.

It currently has 7 missions and I loaded into three different ones in the video. It can be extremely hard so spot the enemy. You can turn down battlefield clutter in the settings which can help with visibility. Hope that helps!

As far as I've seen, the current versions are essentially just copies of the 10+ year old Xbox 360 edition. Considering how much work went into making the Xbox version it's really cool to have a handheld version of Doom 3.

Yeah, haha I need to post the rest of what we played that night but been busy. Maybe we will make it back to it eventually to wrap it up!

Appreciate it!
