2025 | PC Gaming Show

This "show" would have been infinitely better if it was just the trailers and developer videos without any of the PC Gamer content. Every dime they spent on their production made the product worse. It adds nothing.

I much prefer where there are people presenting games on the stage but nobody does it fine anymore. sop got the fat unlikeable ladies, xbox got stiff corpos and pc gaming and future shows got this cringe dialogues.
I miss e3 with devs and ceos just "going at it" badly

I can't say I'm not intrigued by EVE: Frontier. But I'm going to have to see cold hard facts when it comes to monetization. Trust these fucks as far as I can throw them.

It boggles the mind how this team can high-five after this and say "man, we really knocked it out of the park this year". See you guys at the office Monday!

Really though, how does PC Gamer stay in business? What pays these people's salaries? Intrepid young people who want a career presenting video game stuff should look at shit like this and see a market that is wide open for someone to come in and do it properly.
 
KAIZEN? I puked a bit in my mouth... We repeat that stupid rule too often at my work. I hate kaizen lol

I always watch the PC Gaming Show, if I can remember when it's live. Obligatory for indie fans.
 
They need to retire Sean Plott from this shit unless he hits up ozempic or grows a beard.

I feel uncomfortable even more that this cringe dialogue is coming out of a giant thumb.

Barely anyone even knows who Day9 is anymore.

They will never stop.

HL3 believers won't stop, Silksong beggars won't stop, Steam Deck cult won't stop, and FromSoft fans won't stop. Like vegans, it's against their nature to stop talking about it 24/7 and latching onto every single tiny thing they can.
 
I'm rating this showcase a C.

Half of it was questionable in quality, especially some games that felt like they simply weren't ready to be shown yet (even coming from an early access standpoint). Also the pacing felt a bit old school with skits and stuff that I guess some people like, but they just feel like time buffers without a live stage to excuse it.

Notable games:

  • Ambrosia (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Far Far West (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition (Reveal)

You seem to be mad at a lot of stuff. Hope you find inner peace some day. :lollipop_crying:
 
when will people learn that Valve has zero interest or need to make Half Life 3. It isn't going to happen, ever.

About Blooborne, Im not hurt because Im sure that is reserve for Ps6 launch game the remake and sequel later on ps6 life. Well to be honest im one of thos HL3 copium. Does Gabe hate his HL fans? HL was still the best PC experience I have in the past. Silksong is dissapointing because everyone thought is was ready.

Even if they did, there is a less than 10% chance they would reveal it anywhere other than their own venue.

Their last two games were leaked and one of them was barely given any fanfare.

Well still hoping even if Gabe already said in the past the ran out of ideas for HL sequel, which many refuse to believe. Valve is stupid, even a proper remake of HL1 and HL2 will make so many fans happy and they will be printing money.

This isn't how Valve works. They don't have a "Half-Life team" that always needs to work on Half-Life projects and hit revenue targets so they need to do a remake. They just have a lot of smart people working there who work on whatever project they want to work on, and a project will have a critical mass of people excited to do it.

The fact is that if Valve wanted to make HL1 remake, or HL2 remake, or HL3, they would, but they don't want to.
 
It was a two hour and twenty minute long showcase of mostly indie trailers. Nothing really there was a big release. There were some comedy bots with some people building a PC.

Those are good but it really feels different if it comes from the hands of the genius Gabe with Valve stamp😆

Well is there a steam show coming up this summer? Maybe there is still hope 😁

Like everywhere else. But that doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the game.

Hah, yeah I understand. It'd be cool but I think they have different priorities, like that Deadlock game or all that hardware they seem to be working on.

I would never recommend Black Mesa to anyone who wants to play Half-Life. Play the original. it's much better, it plays better, it's paced better, it's not full of bad design decisions by modders, it's just way better, you'll get used to the simplistic graphics quickly.

I honestly am baffled by all the praise Black Mesa gets, it's horrible. It's not legitimate as a HL1 remake, just play HL1 if you want to play HL1.

I've played both and I think both play great, so let's just agree to disagree.

Portal sequel could at least lessen the pain 😁

That's not true. Yakuza 0 PC got announced at one of these years ago, and kinda marked the turning point of all JP games coming to Steam.

That said, I'm not watching this junk.

Eh if only i was into Yakuza. Feels like they're showing one of these games every big show, and i am always indifferent about them.

when asked at the dota event a couple years ago gabe said they long since stopped caring about money. They make so much money from microtransactions off loot crates and skins in their various free games that it doesnt make any sense. I think his exact words where something along the lines of 'we want to build communities now, not franchises'
