My Gametrust Steelbooks arrived today, $4.97 a piece! Shout out to Glass Shark for the heads up.

Nice, I got Axiom Verge as well, I also got Diablo III, Dragon Age Inquisition and Song of the Deep. Dragon Age Inquisition and Diablo III were open boxes, so I returned Diablo III and Inquisition is in the trash after I used the code. Still they were dirt cheap so whatever!

The games may be abhorrent, but their card money works.

Was looking for my Doom 3 copy because the recent GOG stream kinda made me want to play that game. Found it, but also found something else: my copy of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. It was the only Tony Hawk game I have played, but not finished.

Would say it speak a lot about the game, but that's only a part of it - the PC port wasn't very good. It ran like crap for me and quite a bit of people I've seen online. I've been hearing that turning off vibration actually helps with the framerate even if you don't have a controller (!), but I never verified if it was true or just some hoax. By then I already gave up on the game. Of course now I can just bruteforce it, but it doesn't get rid of hitches in loading corridors. Maybe an SSD would help, but whatever.

The game itself... It's not bad, but definitely bottom-tier as far as PS1/2-era Tony Hawk games go. Possibly worst in the series at that point, and I say it as a THUG2 apologist, so I'm not exactly a purist. Even the classic mode wasn't that great compared to the earlier games. It's still decent, being a PS2-era Tony Hawk game.

Spoiler

It did almost completely get rid of Bam Magera, so that's a huge plus compared to THUG2. Sadly, still not entirely.

Why did people hate Yooka Laylee again? It's pretty good if you enjoyed banjo and the like.

Any update on when the client gets an update? Winter Sale?

Did WotC say if Magic Arena is coming to Steam or will Arena have its own client?

 

[KarmaCow]

Any update on when the client gets an update? Winter Sale?

Valve Time.

I wouldn't bet on during the Winter Sale though.

Can you play YS 7/8 without playing the older ones and which game out of all the YS games would be a good start point?

 

[Lain]

Can you play YS 7/8 without playing the older ones and which game out of all the YS games would be a good start point?

No need to have played the older ones.
Start with Origin.

 

[Eila]

Can you play YS 7/8 without playing the older ones and which game out of all the YS games would be a good start point?

Yeah you can just pick whatever. The only ones with significant references is Ys Origin, which should probably be played after I & II. Others have some references here and there but it's not a huge deal.
Ys Seven is a good starting point. Maybe Oath in Felghana (Ys III).

 

[yuraya]

Client update is dead. Let it go SteamGAF.

All of Valve's efforts have moved on to Artifact. You damn well know they aren't working on 2 things at once.

 

[Pixieking]

Part of me wonders if Mike Morasky was referring to the client/store update when he mentioned doing something yesterday/day before. I can't for the life of me think what would fit his work, but the fact that he said "it may even be shipped as soon as next week" makes me think.

nobody on SteamGAF is ever lonely... by themselves anyway.

I doubt I'm going to play them, I'm currently catching up with my PS4 backlog, and I have Divinity: Original Sin 2, Project CARS 2 lined up this month. I don't object to the idea of someday actually playing them.

isnt that literally every parent ever?

 

[BasilZero]

Well it is the one title in the TitS trilogy that was the most grueling to work on. I'm pretty sure XSEED is trying to milk as much money out of SC as they can...in which I really don't blame them. I bought SC a while back and yet still haven't started FC.

Yeah I havent started on FC yet either.


Been playing Tear of Vermillion on PSP - gonna finish the Garghav trilogy before I play Trails in the Sky trilogy.

It appears chkdsk has crashed. Not a good sign.

It's taking all my strength to push on to the end of Ys Celceta. I think I'm good on Ys for a while.

They take place in a different settings. From what I played the Garghav games on PSP have really dumbed down gameplay and the translations are very mediocre to bad.
Bad enough dudes start with Dragon Slayer on PCE-CD, anyhow.

Texture quality on the right is much higher resolution.

 

[Jawmuncher]

That shut looks exactly the same

Are we talking about the floor? I had to zoom in on my iPhone to tell the difference.

 

[Sarcasm]

Turn on your monitor maybe.

Though I for real wasn't trolling here

 

[Knurek]

Both actually , someone ported Joyland textures to the Steam version.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm on mobile too and that shut does for real look the same.

 

[zkylon]

the ship on the background is blurry on the left, it's clear on the right. also differences on the textures of the giant statue on the right and the tower and floor

you can tell the difference, but you do have to look for it

in any case it doesn't help the fact that both versions of that picture look like ass

i don't get being so abusive to someone for not seeing the difference, fucking what...

 

[iosefe]

the fucking boat, guys

 

[Rhaknar]

right one has:

higher res
better textures

and im on my shitty 720p laptop. I'm surrounded by a bunch of Judge Dooms over here.

Better textures make a crappy port less crappy? I thought we cared about performance more.

The res is the same, the only difference is in the textures. Get new eyes old man!

 

[preta]

The issues with the Joyoland port had nothing to do with the graphics. The problems were that it ran at 30 fps like the PSP version and was riddled with annoying DRM.

 

[MUnited83]

Unless you're browsing the forum on a 3DS, i don't see how anyone could miss the difference lol

Like Jesus even on my phone where the image is resized to like 1/8 of the screen i can immediately see the difference lol
