  • I finished Trails of Cold Steel II in October. I definitely liked it a lot more than CS I, but it’s still lower on my overall list of Trails games. I’ve been dabbling in CS III but I’m not really committing to it yet since I’ve been playing Tactical Breach Wizards, which is fantastic! Don’t really want to commit to CS III yet since Metroid Prime 4 is out soon. Prime 4 looks…different based on previews, but I didn’t wait this long to just not play it.

    I have a feeling I’m going to really not like the narrative and new Galactic Federation NPCs, but maybe they’re not all as bad as Myles? I’m sure the gameplay will still be great though. Seems like Nintendo hasn’t learned anything since Fi in Skyward Sword.







  • Seems interesting but not for me I think. The focus looks to be almost entirely competitive multiplayer games which I don’t really have the time, patience, or interest for right now.

    90% of my gaming is on handhelds these days(Deck/Switch 2). It’s pretty rare that I’m on my PC and don’t own any other consoles.

    I’ve been looking for some communities on Lemmy/Discord that have more of a single player, especially RPG focus. I looked at the Falcom community but it’s dead lol. Too bad I’ve been really into Trails recently!

    I thought about joining the Falcom Discord but from what I’ve read it’s just…bad. Doesn’t seem like a welcoming place.

    Started with Sky FC in 2023 and I’m on CS III now. I love this series!

    I think you’ll get a lot of hate for it being Discord exclusive, but the vast majority of people have probably never even heard of Matrix. I bet a lot of people on Lemmy haven’t even.

    Good luck growing the community!







  • P5R may not be to your liking then either. I found it to be less front loaded on the narrative than P4G, but it’s still a very narrative focused game. I can say however that I much preferred the story of P5R. I haven’t played P3(any version) yet. That’s just kind of the way Persona games are. They all start kind of slow. At least the two I’ve played. SMT may be more to your liking. I’ve only played SMT IV but SMT seems to be more gameplay focused. That one is at least from what I remember.


  • Ah I see. I’ve not used bottles so have no suggestions there, but you may be able to use Proton to run the installer. I’ve done that for other types of Windows apps like the Battlenet launcher or Origin/EA App. You add the installer itself as a non-Steam game, run it, go through the install process. Then you add the installed exe as a non-Steam game.

    I think the installed files would be in the same location as the installer itself but they may also get their own app ID in your Steam folder. I can’t recall exactly.


  • No Proton is a compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux. I’m not at my computer ATM but in the Steam settings somewhere you just flip the toggle on that says something like Enable Steam Play for all games. I think it’s in Compatibility or something like that.

    Then any games you own on Steam you can just install and play and Steam will automatically choose the best Proton version for you. You can override it too if you need. ProtonDB is a good resource for looking up how well a game runs on Linux via Proton. Keep in mind it’s limited to games that have Steam releases though.

    If you’re talking about playing PS5 games you’ve dumped from a disc with an emulator, which it sounds like maybe you are, Proton and Steam won’t do much for you here. If you’re talking about PC versions of these games that you’ve “acquired” then Steam may help there. You could add the game to your library as a “non-Steam” game and then just run it with Proton that way. HGL may work here too but I’ve only used HGL for games I own on GOG or Epic.
