We still don't have Sunset Overdrive.

Can't we sacrifice some waifu crap to get it?

Yes.

A thousand times yes.

I want RUINER

 

[mrgone]

You can defer updates on Win 10 Home as well.
Not as easily as on Pro/Ent/Edu versions, but you sure can.

If that metered connection thing still works that's pretty good. Otherwise it looks like you have to pretty much break windows update, and only fix it when you want updates to download I wish they'd just put the check box in there for everyone.

I want RUINER

RUINER looks really awesome. Devolver's whole lineup this year is pretty fantastic. Killing it, those dudes.

Metered connection works, but you can also use Microsoft tools to defer updates.
(I'm still on 1511, and just received the Tuesday's cumulative update for that branch, so can confirm Windows Update doesn't break with that workaround).

Absolver and Eitr look pretty sweet, too. I just don't think that Mother Russia Bleeds is going to be any good.

I expected that NMS honeymoon will last at least week or two but dam after only 2 days disappointment and hate is real on gaming side.

Nice! That's significantly better than what I'd dug up, much less invasive.

 

[mrgone]

Probably a little on-the-nose for a brawler, yeah. But Eitr definitely looks rad, as does Absolver. Crossing Souls looks pretty good too, but I'm not sure if that's due this year anymore. More Shadow Warrior and Flying Wild Hog is great. And Enter the Gungeon's already out, but super good too. One of the better sets of games I've seen in a calendar year

edit: Wow, slow evening. Sorry about the back-to-back posts

No midnight release for NMS on steam? Why are midnight releases for big titles still not the norm on PC? No preload too. -.-

 

[Monooboe]

Ugh, so now I´m stuck with a windows 10 Tablett, or 2 in 1 laptop, laplett? Until I get my career going and can get a new PC. So I will do all my gaming through you guys!

Any of you do any broadcasting? If Im going to watch someone play games I would prefer it to be someone I know from this thread.

 

[Kudo]

Steam just asked is my email still the one I use on my account and had to re-verify it, should I be scared or is this normal?

 

[texhnolyze]

Well, there it is.

One day I will maybe get upload speed above 1Mbps so you all can watch me being stubborn and die over and over again until I do what I intended to do XD

 

[yuraya]

Played Tharsis for about an hour and boy oh boy did I get wrecked lol. Couldn't even make it past the 3rd week. Its like a suicide mission mars wtf.

Well, there it is.

That really sucks. Would have been great if they did it like a DLC download or something. Maybe modders will be able to do it in due time.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Maybe your email host bounced an email at some point, or it's just an automatic check to cut down on people who can't recover their accounts due to dead emails. I wouldn't be scared, myself.

It's normal.

 

[NingenJanai]

Well, there it is.

So, what happens in 10 or 15 years when microsoft decides to shutdown the streaming?, you still will be able to download the game from steam but it will probably crash when trying to stream the movies...

 

[Kaleinc]

Well, there it is.

PC which is a spreadsheet platform can't handle downloaded cutscenes.

 

[Ludens]

No, I think you can play it without episodes, it should be already an option on XBox one.
Still, you will have a butchered game.

Mate, try 10 to 15 months...

Hey, at least MS has embraced Steam at last.

Remedy will host alternatives that reenact the scenes with sock puppets.

I wish.

It's funny how there are still bits of ancient versions of the store-front floating around on Valve's servers. Most of the links are broken, but you can find the pages by searching for versions of the copyright text:

This one is fun. It's a hardware survey from 2005:
http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey_v3.html
Less than 4% of systems surveyed had more than 1GB of RAM and everyone was running XP service pack 1 or 2.

Oh lawd, someone posted a link to what's at the centre of the universe in the NMS review thread

Spoiler

is that it??! XD

 

[Empty Space]

Has there been any indication when No Man's Sky unlocks? I know the Steam timer says Friday 1PM EST, but sometimes those things are wrong.

I was hoping that it would be Peter Molyneux telling you that you get to be the god of No Man's Sky, but

Spoiler

I think that the actual ending fits the game. Probably doesn't live up to the hype, however

Is the NA version region free?If so I can buy it for you tonight if you want to pay pal me (its $66.49 CAD)

It is, got my copy from canada

Is it still the case? I am always lost when I look at steamDB to confirm that a game can be activated in Europe.

It explores the meaning of existence and purpose, challenges reality and emotional connection through a complex plot, with a twist at every corner.

"Woman unconscious in dark alley" simulator coming to Steam.

More seriously, it is a "psychological adventure game set in a dystopic sci-fi world that is slowly unwinding". The game is called Discrepant. I think I read that pitch for tons of games already.

 

[Wok]

edit: double post.

Yes.

Thanks.

Game is 3gb, thats why there's no preload

 

[Ozium]

I bought Dead Rising on GMG and they gave me a Steam key already instead of having to wait until release day

based Capcom

 

[Corpekata]

What if you can't see others in just the PS4 No Man's Sky for technical reasons, but you can on PC, and that's the reason for the delay, to avoid that getting out there too soon? The meltdowns would be glorious.

 

[Coreda]

Taking a peek at someone's Games link Steam loaded the entire 3000 odd games on the page. Spectaculatious.

 

[CecilRousso]

Yikes at all the No Man's Sky backlash in all those threads.

I'm glad to have more relaxed expectations on it, and don't feel the need to attribute malice to the devs for things that might be different from the hype. Hope they still feel alright.

Yeah, that happened to me when I tried to look at jshackles' games. Steam choked on them.

Vivaldi is getting so close to becoming my standard browser, the new customization options in 1.3 are fantastic. Now give extensions please. Wait, they're already in (using the Chrome Store). Oh boy. Even supports right button+scroll=change tabs out of the box. Only thing I'm not liking is the UI's font rendering.

And N++ got patched, now runs without workaround.

Wait, but how? A game with trillions of planets is 3gb only?

 

[Ascheroth]

Procedural generation.

 

[texhnolyze]

Procedural generation.

I'm aware of the procedural generation thingy, though I don't really understand how it works.

But how does the game store the textures? So we're constantly downloading the game's asset as we play?
