How many of you guys played this game? I would love another Midtown Madness.

I played the demo but I think it was the second game. It had a hidden lawnmower vehicle if I remember correctly.

Man I'm starting to regret not getting Elder Scrolls Online when I had the chance. I keep sampling games but nothing grabs my interest. Feels like I specifically need an openworld RPG to just disappear into.

I don't know if it's a copypaste job like Midora's Kickstarter, but they definitely copied the style. Do you guys have a comparison of the grass?

^^^ And yeah, unless it's a straight up copypaste of assets they will not care.

From what I can see is that he took the assets and modified them.

TRAILER 3


Which of the three do you guys think might work best to be the first thing to play once people enter the store page?

I like the description, it sets up the baseline, but then hints that something is off and it won't be as expected. I think its good right now, I wouldn't add much more to it.

I also have to go with trailer 3 because its important to grab the viewer's attention right away on steam nowadays. Its interesting and captivating. At first I preferred the first one because it was more subtle but it won't grab attention. I think you should go 3 then 1 in that order. It would be nice and jarring to the viewer.

Why are games cheaper on Steam in Norway when all the inhabitants are rich from oil?

The Norwegian krone is really weak as of right now because of the ongoing oil crisis. I don't thing Valve updated the price of items for norwegian customers to match the current value of the NOK.
And i hope they never do

It's up to publishers to update prices. Valve may adjust the default conversion rate (thereby adjusting the recommended NKR price publishers see when releasing a new game), but that's it -- Valve will never adjust the prices of games that aren't its own.

Great success messing around with my MSI laptop and 4K TV today.

I've been having screen tearing anytime a game was played in Fullscreen and sent via HDMI to my TV in 1080P. Setting to Borderless Windowed fixes that, but has a slight performance hit on newer games. Vsync in fullscreen did nothing for the TV display.

Turns out, displaying on both the laptop display and the TV at the same caused the screen tearing on the TV. Turning off the laptop display fixed the issue entirely. Another benefit is that I found out I can output 4K to my TV now from my laptop!

Only problem is that stuff runs at 20-30FPS now at 4K. Might be interesting to try with older games and see if I can get 60FPS and 4K, not sure which games would benefit.

Yeah, i guess that makes sense. But they control the conversion rate between currencies when it comes to the marketplace right?

When they first introduced the norwegian currency i think i got about 6 nok for each dollar i had in my steam wallet. But the conversion rate is closer to 9 nok for each dollar now.

Meh, SE surprise box is quite the let down this time. Repeat of a game included last year (Thief) a single episode of a five episode game (Life is Strange) and a subscription based game (FF XIV). Only real game of interest I don't already have is XIII :/

That square enix bundle could have been better tbh but that's just me. Glad I didn't buy it this year.

If anyone doesn't want the 20% off code I'll take it of your hands though :p
