I'm playing through the original Prey (got it from that PlayAsia deal linked to in the last thread) and damn, why didn't anyone tell me this was so great?

It's a shame that the parties involved can't or won't relist it.

It think because it's mainly because the game is basically gone so it's really hard to recommend

I don't know if this is fake or not, but I found a game on Steam that has Destiny 1 silver as purchaseable currency. These were uploaded to Steam on 2017-03-02.

Given the date i would imagine that is from a steam version they prepared, before deciding to make it Battle.net exclusive?

Eh, their loss. Not buying their game then.

EDIT: Wait, actually, it has been updated 9 days ago. And it's linked to this app:
https://steamdb.info/app/347300/subs/

Which also is actively in developpement.

With AC Origins looming, I should probably try to finish Rogue, Unity DLC as well as Syndicate. Oh and Freedom Cry, almost forgot that one.

Gotta get that sweet AC lore.

I'd like to finish Liberation HD before Origins hits. It's not a mainline entry, but Black Flag's DDE comes with a handful of missions featuring Aveline, so I figured I'd put them on the backburner until I was done with LibHD. I was close to completing the game back in early 2014 but lost my save thanks to GameSaveManager, of all things -- the then current version had a premature entry for LibHD that pointed to the config file but had zero support for save files.

I'd be curious on JaseC's take on this

Sometimes Valve pushes a change to all apps that can cause people to believe that an older game is being updated, but these are different. It's a bit strange to have 5-10 updates monthly.

 

[Drakhyrr]

So I just finished the For Honor campaign. Just in time, as the free weekend ends in a few hours.

Took me about 7 hours. Overall I found it to be... Not bad. The story is not very strong, but good enough to be better than nothing. The graphics were great, though I wish you could disable chromatic aberration.

The gameplay is... Weird. I think even after all this time, I couldn't quite grasp it, and would probably be horribly massacred in multiplayer, if I was into that. It is kind of QTE-ish, but slightly different, I'm not entirely sure I'd call it that. I can definitely see why people abandoned the game soon after launch, though. I don't think I'd be able to handle it for much longer. There's just not enough variety in this kind of gameplay to make it interesting for too long.

I'd recommend this for people who liked Ryse, for what it was. Of course, if you're in for just the campaign and missed the free weekend, I recommend waiting for another, or for a severe price drop.

I don't think that's Destiny. Notice how the icons are sourced from three different domains (Bungie.net, PSN and XBL) not to mention a belated port this late makes little sense. If today were a year ago, I'd be a little less sceptical.

Yeah, this is why you need to click on the change number. If it's multiple apps, it's Valve. If it's not, it's the devs.

Someone playing a trick then ?

 

[JaseC]

Someone playing a trick then ?

My guess would be an indie dev has borrowed Destiny's silver microtransactions to test Steam Wallet and Steam Inventory Service integration.

 

[fuzaco]

Destiny on Steam makes no sense. The only way it could happen if it's like Ubisoft games with uPlay, and you still need Battle.net to launch the game, but I don't see Acti/Blizz doing that.

 

[GhostTrick]

My guess would be an indie dev has borrowed Destiny's silver microtransactions to test Steam Wallet and Steam Inventory Service integration.

Mh, I see. Makes sense indeed.

 

[xPaw]

My guess would be an indie dev has borrowed Destiny's silver microtransactions to test Steam Wallet and Steam Inventory Service integration.

Most devs just have hats as their test data because Steamworks documentation has an easy to copy example. Destiny fake is a little more work.

Yeah, back then I actually made a custom entry in GSM to backup the entire Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames folder, just to be sure I didn't lose any saves.
The Aveline mission is short but neat if I remember right.

Yeah, but these units of "silver" are presumably tied to an actual in-game currency.

 

[MRORANGE]

Weren't you *just* saying PC gaming is dead and PS4 is the best way to experience games?

Amazing graphics are dead on PC.

PC gaming is still okay.

I am at Ep. 2 of Twin Peaks Season 1
These cops REALLY like their donuts

Dave Cooper is awesome and I am starting to see the Deadly Premonition similarities/inspirations.

That Tibet scene though....

 

[Anteater]

neat, hellblade has ansel support =o

I'm also re-watching it but I really think the show is overrated.
I mean, I love it but I only love the Lynch scenes, the main mystery going on and what's under the skin, but sadly there are also plenty of useless and badly acted love scenes, side plots which really don't bring anything good to the show. Expecially, season 2 is just garbage if not for a couple of episodes.

Season 3 otherwise is PURE Lynch and that's the reason I'm loving it, it's simply the "best" of Twin Peaks and Lynch knows it, luckily for us.

So, anything new about SE fixing AT LEAST Nier Automata fullscreen on PC ?

Of course not. That's like asking if Valve has commented on Half-Life 3.

Ffs. It's not even about fixing GI. It's like just a simple thing.

Isn't that a photo mode for Nvidia GPUs?
Weird, game already has a photo mode.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just walked out of A Ghost Story

What a load of shit.
I'm going to go home and play games now (just to keep it thread relevant).

Edit: ah yes, checking reviews, of course it had to be critically acclaimed >_>

 

[Anteater]

yeah game has both its own photo mode and nvidia's ansel, you can take higher res screenshots with nvidia's tho

Oh higher resolution screenshots is great addition definitely.

An A24 production with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck sounds pretty good.

Yeah, it SOUNDS good...
Basically nothing through what I did see of it had anything actually happening. Fair few others I noticed walked out as well but maybe it's just me and I didn't get it >__>

 

[shockdude]

One Finger Death Punch is fun. The difficulty is ramping up already, and I can tell it's gonna be insanity by the end.

Are there any bonuses for playing at the higher speeds?

Keep your eye on the doughnut, not the hole.

Isn't it supposed to be very Malick-y? Now I just want to see it more

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I haven't seen anything Malick yet actually, not my cup of tea I'd guess :/
But go for it I'd say then!

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

plz don't laugh but Lost Technology is very fucking hard

I'm having troubles with the recruiting mechanic

man :___:

 

[PandaPedinte]

Another day without internet connection in my home so instead of playing Path of Exile I'm still playing Paint it Back, when I finish a master puzzle I feel ao smart. Today I played mostly F:NV, the game is ugly, crashes, is janky but I love it. It seems like every time I start a new playthrough I end discovering a new place or quest that I did not have done before.

 

[JaseC]

Ffs. It's not even about fixing GI. It's like just a simple thing.

HD towns patches are hard.

It's been a bit over a month since Squeenix's last statement and the game's Steam app is as quiet as ever. It's never going to be patched again (well, unless another piece of DLC is on the horizon and some prep work needs to be done).

 

[KenOD]

None given. Increased speed is for a higher challenge, getting through levels faster, improved skill.

There is a bonus of a golden sword that can randomly appear on certain stages, usually survivals, when you are at one health to give you one last chance, but that's about it.

 

[jtb]

Ha, in that case, you'll probably hate Malick's films.

Having said that, if you ever do, go in release order - his earliest films are gorgeous and only 80 minutes long (!!!) so you lose a lot of the more tedious shots of leaves and grass

Well, their last statement is them working hard with Nvidia and AMD. I guess it's only about crashes and not for the fullscreen fix. Meh, anyway, Durante's improvements on AO and Bloom made FAR a mandate anyway.

When asked for an update on this, a Square Enix representative offered Eurogamer the following statement:

"Square Enix and PlatinumGames are working with PC device manufacturers, like AMD, to address the issues with the Steam version of the game because some of the issues are not what Square Enix and PlatinumGames alone can resolve fundamentally. "

YT left the team shortly after release of the first DLC, so that's not going to happen.




While we're talking about the port, did ya'll know that playing it at 30FPS makes certain sidequests unbeatable? yea

and on everyone who prefers 30FPS

Yeah, I don't expect more DLC. Or further post-release "support" of any kind.

Godot has a patreon if you want to change to another game engine

https://www.patreon.com/godotengine

yeah ppl told me

i wasn't backing a random engine tho, i use haxeflixel

Been picking at things through the backlog, what should I play next from these two?



OR

i love rage, i think that game's awesome

play that!

 

[jtb]

I found Prey 06 to be really bland when I played it way back in the day.

Calling the new Prey "Prey" was a mindnumbingly stupid decision and I have no idea why they did that other than to justify Bethseda's dumb purchase of the Prey IP only to not do anything with it for a decade.

A Max Payne 3, if you will

You like Fidel's engine, I see.

Edit: Fidel is made with Haxe.

fidel is made with haxe, not haxeflixel (that's the one i'm using), which is a port of a a popular flash games engine called flixel

argieland gamedev scene has deep flash roots, so haxe is kind of popular here

Having just received my latest credit card statement, I see that Amazon.com have taken full advance payment for the $9.99 order that I managed to place for XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. I don't have any problem with this - in fact, it makes me somewhat more hopeful that they'll fulfil the order - just a little surprised, given that they say the following:

We won't charge you for the pre-order until release day, and will send you an e-mail to confirm when the item is available in Your Games and Software Library. If you'd like to cancel your pre-order before release day, go to Your Games and Software Library and click Cancel pre-order.

I've been working on this in my spare time the last few days, so, as an update to the 25th Anniversary thread posted back in July 2014, here is the current list of everyone who has posted in every Steam thread:

Kifimbo
JaseC
morningbus
Nabs
Stallion Free

From 26 down to 5 over the course of 3 years.

Congratulations! We're at the point now where one of us is probably going to have to die for the list to change.

 

[Lashley]

Wait...

The new client is coming within a few weeks!?

(I know in Valve time this probably means 2018)
