Mods are great! I’m really interested in projects like Skywin or Skyblivion. Recreating the whole modern Elder Scrolls franchise within Skyrim is just crazy.
I mean, the answer kinda just has to be something like Call of Duty to make sense. Think about how much evolution that series has gone through over the years, and how many components there are between campaign, multiplayer, Zombies, spec ops, battle royale, and most recently DMZ. It's probably the most variety you'd get from just one franchise.
There’s not much variety in terms of genre at that point 😔
I’d be looking at highly moddable games types—something like Gary’s Mod, maybe? I personally wouldn’t want to play an FPS forever. But I’m not sure what games these days have super strong mod communities that frequently genre-bend. Maybe something like GTA?
I don’t know how to categorise these types of players. If it were a board game or TTRPG, they would be casual players (e.g. the people who only heard of Monopoly), but the average playtime would make them hardcore gamers. It’s weird.
No joke, the manual for the original pokemon games was one of the best gaming manuals ever created. Not only did it explain everything, but it contained a lot of cool art work that really sold the game world to you. I still remember coming home from the dentist, high af from the nitrous oxide, flipping through the Pokemon yellow manual, and wanting to get home as quick as possible so I could try out my new gameboy color!
I find Elden Ring a bit frustrating because of the complete lack of any way to keep track of quests. I've resorted to using a notes app. Even then, I'm sure I've missed off finishing some of the earlier stuff from before I started taking notes.
Is it time to play through Max Payne again? Has the game recieved love from the modding community? I'll answer my own question by saying looky looky...
What does 'making changes to its core system' mean? I though people were able to use steam deck as a proper pc already, installing new apps on it and stuff like that?
SteamOS core system is locked as read-only. That is what immutable means. In example you cannot install applications using the core system management named "pacman" (short for package manager). There is a toggle in SteamOS to disable this read-only functionality, but with next system update all changes are reverted.
But how do you install applications on SteamOS? You certainly can do, right? Yes! That's the store it offers, which uses a different concept called Flatpak. These are programs you can install without touching the core system. And therefore these are persistent, even on system updates. And they are similar to Android programs in a sandbox.
I assume you are not familiar with how Linux systems operate. Imagine this like Android, where you are only allowed to install from a store, which cannot make changes to the Android core, but only install applications on a secured way. But that is limited. Or imagine a game console where you can only install games and programs which the store has. And it lacks Command Line Interface programs in example or many other tools not found in the official store. That's how SteamOS works at the moment.
And here comes the Nix packagement into play. This is a different system again. You can think of it like Flatpak, meaning any changes to it would be sandboxed and do not touch the core system. This allows for Command Line tools and some other stuff, as discussed before. Nix packages will be part of the next big update of SteamOS.
My initial thought was something like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, but I think I would be happier in something with a robust building system. Minecraft would work but something like 7 Days to Die would work too and add a bit more challenge. Maybe Valheim, I haven't played a lot of that but the building system seemed good the little I played?
Edit: I think I would choose No Man's Sky, actually. Endless exploration and a semi decent building system.
