Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
I’m not entirely sure how, but when I opened Soul Calibur VI on my desktop it acted like it was the first time I launched the game! My character was nowhere to be found, luckily I still had the save on my Steam Deck. I launched it on Deck to make sure it was still there, and then closed the desktop session, followed by the Steam Deck session. This way the uncorrupted Steam Deck save would push my Desktop! I would have hated to start from scratch… instead I made it to Level 50!
Made it to Level 27 in Soul Calibur VI! I started playing it on my Deck this morning, moved over to the Big Screen TV PC in the afternoon, then finished off on my regular Desktop. It’s nice to be able to progress in a game that I only have to buy once, and I can enjoy it in a multitude of ways. I did more reading up on the modding scene for Soul Calibur VI, and it looks like it has quite the modding community! That’s something I’ll save for another post. I had a wonderful time mashing buttons to my hearts content.
Then later this evening my ol’ buddy Yutram and I dipped our toes into the world of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. It was just the right price during the current Steam Sale, so it only made sense to give it a shot. After all we did enjoy Tiny Tina’s Assault On Dragon Keep (Which if you haven’t played it yet, you totally should), so why not?
Unlike the previous Borderlands games, you can make your own custom character from scratch, which can produce some interesting results. Especially when you travel the Overworld:
We had such a fun time casting spells and collecting enchanted weapons, we made it to Level 4! We’re only just starting off but this already is looking like a lot of fun. It captures the humour of previous Borderlands games – I always like listening to the ridiculous lines the enemies spout as they’re attacking, they probably had the most fun writing up all the dialogue. We’ll have to make another play date for this soon!
I forgot how fun the character creation in SoulCalibur VI is! My old save evaporated and I was forced to begin from scratch, but I still had fun in the process.
I’ve already made it back up to level 13, and for the most part I remember how to play. I spent a bit of time with it on Steam Deck tonight as well; apart from a graphical glitch in some of the fighting cutscenes it is very playable on Deck. I’ve decided to keep it on there – maybe if I keep playing it between the two systems I’ll be able to finish it. Perhaps I can turn it into a fashion show in the process. :v
Cloud Saves FTW.
