Steam eventually seems likely but by that point I'd have to see what other games have taken my interest. Generally when this happens I am well into other games so I simply don't buy these late ones. I would be down with any distribution method other than UWP / any other restricted formats. As far as modding goes, it would certainly be nice and easy with Workshop and the usual hilarity that ensues. Lord knows I'm not going to get reasonable Steam Controller / Link usage through UWP
I need a new "hobby" game.
CS:GO is dull, infrequently updated and the community sucks. Pretty burnt out on Dota 2 post-TI. TF2 has been broken for awhile and Valve is taking forever on the next update, which probably won't fix the things they ruined. And PUBG runs like shit on my PC... in fact, played two matches today, one was fine and the next crashed my computer and I had to hard restart.
Any ideas? Doesn't necessarily have to be comp MP... could be a really in-depth, open-ended SP game. Would prefer the Steam environment though. Just need something new.

In game:

Shadowplay
The game will ask you when you get to the lobby if you want it to record. Agree, and its automatic from there! Every kill it will record, and every death as well by default. Post match, Shadowplay shows you all of the clips it saved.
A PC performance thread section wouldn't be a bad idea.
Sure. It's missing Agents of Mayhem, but I don't know how often he updates the list.
i wasn't expecting hollow knight to be like a billion hours long
can't believe i already played 20 hours of it, and i'm only 2/3 of the creepy masks with plenty of shit to do
such a great game tho, it's pulling from tropes i feel pretty tired of, but it uses them super elegantly and has enough of its own flair to make up for it
i'm hoping to wrap it up soon-ish tho, i'll probably try to get as many secrets as i can and maybe look up the ones i've missed since finding everything is so enjoyable, but i'm also feeling this game might be a bit too long for me atm

My folks rented Battletoads for me back in the day. I think I got to the second level.
They also rented Shadowrun for me so I forgive them.
You just described Saints Row 4 as well.

Actually this is the first time I've seen square enix slap a "exclusivity on PS4" on all marketing and promo materials for one of their games. It makes me think that it might actually stay exclusive.
Fun little developer playthrough for Heat Signature, designed by Tom Francis of Gunpoint renown. As is expected of Tom it shows systems upon top of systems in a fun little Hotline Miami/Hitman/Dishonored-in-space universe. I'm pretty hyped to see it come out hopefully before too long.

Thanks. This totally seems like a game I will watch more of others play than play myself. So this is just the ticket.

I'm an expat of Team Fortress 2, and while I sort of tolerate CS:GO I've never really been that into the series. That said, I tried Overwatch to get my fix and hoped for a TF2 without all the bloat and duct-tape holding it together, but received a terribly shallow game with poor mechanics but I guess it looks pretty!
Rainbow Six: Siege and Titanfall 2 have been the things I've been able to glue myself to lately. Siege is kind of scratching the TF2 itch of having classes with unique abilities, but also scratching a CS itch in it being grounded and hitscan-oriented but without all the things that make CS terrible to play like overbearing match times and economy element, dull weapon variety, terrible movement and gun mechanics, and being unable to accurately toss a grenade without having internalized a rote memorization of arcane shortcuts to get them where you want them. It's also fun because there's a lot of floor and wall destruction that completely recontextualizes how you end up viewing a map. Siege is something I've found to be great for both a casual and competitive ranked experience.
Titanfall 2 is more of a purely casual experience, but it's been satisfying my desire for crazy movement that I got out of rocket jumping in TF2. It's got a smaller community but you're not going to have a hard time finding a match, it's less intense and more carefree and feels like more of a communal experience as you're going to be seeing some of the same people throughout your sessions, and in that sense it reminds me of the pub crawling of old, except in a matchmaking environment. Anyways, this isn't the kind of game to take seriously, but it's been great for being able to swing around with grappling hooks (and learn to slingshot around like Spider-Man with it) and chaining slidehops and wallruns and just gaining crazy freeflow momentum with some giant robot fighting in-between.
There's also Quake Champions, which is launching on Steam tomorrow. So maybe the stars are aligning and telling you to play that. I know I will.

The Shenmue 3 trailer feels so strange.
The environments look fantastic, the animations on the other hand look really budget.

It's great. People use more than three weapons and strategies don't turn into a tug of war of kicking people when they're down, so each round is pretty damn fun.
Thirded.
It takes a full year of Warframe to be up to date.
If you're looking for something chunky, you can definitively get it there.

I agree the community is shit, like in almost every other game, but to call the movement and gun mechanics terrible or the economy "overbearing" just makes it seem like you don't really know a good game when you see it. If you think people don't use more than three weapons you're probably thinking of 1.6 (even then AK, M4, AWP, deag = 4). Or just one of those anti-Valve multiplayer people, I dunno.
It's ok if you can't master the recoil or movement but they're pretty much tops in the genre right now even with Valve not updating the game much. They don't have to try because there's really no other competitive shooter that competes with them. As seen by the competitive scene, eSports, etc.
Rickenslacker

I dunno, would you call it a good game when it became competitive out of fluke more than intention? Given that only one game mode is actually viable, and that only a small pool of weapons are as well. I call the match times and economy overbearing because I just don't need a game to go on for 30+ minutes, especially when it's paced that way due to the economy element that in itself frames a lot of rounds towards dudes that are properly kitted out versus sacrificial lambs. Mastering the recoil ends up coming down to mastering the recoil of two weapons, because no one wants to learn anything else, I don't know if it's still the case but for the longest time the silenced M4 was king shit on CT side because you didn't need to bother with recoil. I just find it hard to take a game competitively serious when it allows even having your initial shot whiff by chance, at least in Siege you can always make your first shot count.

Again, if you think only two weapons are used in low level, mid level, high level or pro CSGO then you're completely ignorant. Not much else to say on the matter. I guess some people need weapon unlocks and red dot sights to play FPS these days. Sad!
Rickenslacker
Banned
Hey at least get my hyperbole right I said they used three weapons, only needing to learn recoil of two
and arguably one when the original M4 was ditched in favour for the silenced.
