I find that I prefer playing games on my PS5 so that I’m not battling Windows updates, spending a bunch of time tweaking settings, etc. But the shooter genre is something I’m finding very difficult on a controller. I grew up playing Unreal Tournament, Quake, etc., and I find it extremely easy to jump into games like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, Arc Raiders, and more on PC. But when I go to play them on console, it’s very very challenging. Returnal is something that I would breeze through like it was nothing on PC. But I like the plug and play nature of console, plus being able to play on my couch easily. The controller effects are fun too. But every time I miss a dumb shot on a suicide bomber enemy, it makes me frustrated. Same thing with Control, Horizon Zero Dawn, and any other game that makes you aim.
Is there a trick to it that I am missing?
You are gonna love steam machine when it’s gonna be released
Nope. I have a Steam Deck already, and fighting Linux compatibility is also a pain. “Steam Deck Verified” means next to nothing.
What do you mean fighting Linux compatibility? I’m genuinely wondering.
I game exclusively on Linux and have had zero compatibility issues with games (I can’t play battlefield 6 or Riot games, but that’s it). Is it that you exclusively want to play battlefield?
All other games run smoothly with periodic updates to proton-ge, which can then be selected from the steam compatibility options. It’s like 2-3 clicks and it’s all via gui.
I also have a rather large game library… It’s not like I’m playing 1 game…
Edit: I understand that change is hard, and I’ll take the down votes, but I haven’t gotten an answer. If it’s that you only play games with kernel level security that requires windows, totally valid - rock on brother. If it’s that you only play games that are exclusive to PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo - you do you, my friend. I’m just trying to understand the broad generalization that compatibility on Linux is the primary issue.
