I would say The Witcher 3. My favorite game of all time, especially if you have the expansions, which are amazing.
btw I wasn't being a dick. Now that I read my msg it may seem like it.
I was just saying, it's a surprisingly big and 'complex' game - I recommend going over some first time tips if you don't want to get annoyed in-game. I wish I had, maybe then I wouldn't have gotten pissed off with some aspects of the game and quit before the end.
To each his own. There's no problem with having a conversation about games on a 'gaming' forum, but my simply saying google tips doesn't mean I'm being a prick - if I was being that then I'd add a sarcastic comment or something. Ofc me linking a LMGTFY link might come off as that, but then that's the danger of online comments - you can never tell what's genuine and what's not.
If you don't want to use the technological resources at your disposal in this age then maybe the issue really isn't about hating "Google it" replies?

Nope.
Freedom Cry, Rogue and Syndicate left. 😅😅
It's really quite sad indeed.
Take it slow, there is no need to rush, and enjoy the atmosphere and vistas. Also be ready for some emotional ride.
Ah no worries! I try to stay away from more elaborate guides and tips at first since I do want to avoid accidental spoilers.
Yeah I'm quite impressed with it so far, the look and feel of it is great!

Just played an hour of Warframe, and wow I can't believe it's a F2P game.
It's so polished and 300% different from what I played back in 2013 or so.
Looking forward to the open world update coming this week.
Goodbye, Destiny 2.

Why is it not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed?
My wife for some reason suddenly wanted to watch the LotR trilogy for the first time this weekend. We watched the first movie tonight; she's long since gone to bed and I'm here just watching YouTube clips of the best moments of the series. It's been...hell a decade or more since I've watched more than a clip here and there and man does all of this hold up. I wish there were more games that could hold the same emotional weight that so many of these scenes do.
RE: Hollow Knight - savor it. It's a special game.

Oh boy, Doki Doki Literature Club! came to Steam?
All I'm going to say, and this is probably saying too much, is it's not what it looks like. It came out on itch.io earlier this year.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm glad Cuphead is popular, but man why is many of its fanart so going against the artstyle of the game lol
That would be spoilers.

Actual spoilers, like don't read this if you plan to play the game:
It's a straight-up horror game that begins to really start fucking around with your computer and fourth wall breaking elements and the game remembers things you did in previous playthroughs. But the game keeps up its moe art design to the point of it going around to become disturbing again with the 'moe' interpretation of pretty morbid stuff.

Man people really have double standards on GAF. They are so pissed at merchant in AC Origins that sells chest with random loot but nobody ever mentioned that there is absolutely identical thing in Horizon Zero Dawn.

That game, it's something, alright.
I'm sure Shadows of War is a fun game, but with all this baggage, I would feel like an idiot if I gave them $60+ for it. Would probably need to take a shower after Steam had completed that transaction.

Damn, some older Nioh threads are a fun read. Especially when BernardoOne is being called a port beggar for stating obvious shady wording as "in developpement exclusively for PS4", "console exclusive".
It's also funny some posters were claiming, at the time, that while a PC port may happen, it's not in developpment at the moment.

I admit taking part in those thread truly believing it was exclusive thanks to both Sonys and KTs own wording.
After this announcement only games I believe to be exclusive are Nintendos.

Because of Koei Tecmo, I never really did believe it was going to stay PS4 exclusive for too long.
I am hoping fucking Bloodborne comes to PC though at some point in the next couple years, been holding out for that. It may not happen, since it is Sony funded, but I can dream.

That'll happen only if Sony doesn't want people to buy PS5 for Bloodborne 2 when it comes, at this point that's what I believe their strategy is.
"Every other 'exclusve', small moneyhat, Bloodborne? BIG moneyhat."
I'm a "Never say never" type of person, but Bloodborne PC is, well, never going to happen; both the IP and game itself are owned by Sony. I'd have a modicum of optimism if PS Now weren't a thing (I'm sure PS4 titles will be available eventually) and the PS5 weren't likely to be backwards-compatible, but such is the world we live in.

chinese paladin games have all been region blocked for me recently. Probably no intention to translate it into English. Cant even do what chinese people do and google translate "english please" and post it on the store page.

Deep in my heart I know this to be true, especially since the closest comparison is Demon Souls, which hasn't come off the PS3 yet itself.
But I want to believe.

Jase sometimes it helps to let insanity be your compass.
Bloodborne will one day get a PC release, just as Wheelman will get a proper re-release on modern platforms. Someday.

I loosely want to believe that it may be the internal workings of Steam, but it could be anything.
Earlier this week the internal side of Steam updated its look with a few new functions, it was acting up a bit before this update as well. But it could just as easily be something else entirely, like a DDOS attack or some issue occurring within some server somewhere. I also think they may save the visual and function update for the Steam Store until one of the upcoming major sales (while I love the Halloween Sale, more likely it's be the Autumn or Winter Sale).

The open world launches next week, I think.
It's a very exciting time to be a Tenno.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Those can only be purchased with in-game currency. Big difference.Welcome to the club

And you really don't need any of them.
EDIT: Looks like AC Origins might be the same.
Eh, I don't get what all the fuzz is about. As long as it doesn't influence the game's balance i'm fine with it, quite simple to ingore.

Some people just never get it, their view is shrpuded by their fanboyism. See that poster in Nioh PC announcement thread.
I'm guessing it's a higher level content. So hopefully I'll be ready when it's out.
It' exactly the same thing as in Horizon. You can buy a random loot chest from the merchants using in-game money.

I recognise the name of Doki Doki Literature Club but don't know a thing about it.
Guess I should play it. Is it long?

Not too long, though you should play it more than once and there's more after the credits are done rolling. A single playthrough is only about an hour or two though.

I never get people who install everything on their drives.
Why don't they just play one game at a time and uninstall after it's finished?
It's like adding an unnecesary problem to themselves.

I haven't finished Doom, but I am not installing a good 60 GB patch.

Oh cool the download size for shadow of war is going around, wonder how big it.....
I guess some developers are saying screw data caps and download speeds at this point, give them that uncompressed goodness!!
What is data cap?
sorry, we don't have that thing for ages 😀
Because when you want to play Game X, you gotta download and install it. Then as you're going through it, you feel like playing Game Y instead, and you gotta download and install it.
As nice as many games are, not every game is so addictive as to keep you glued the whole time, instead making you want to go for a different taste here and there, sometimes to a taste you have already eaten whole in the past.
With bigger sizes for games and many more releases coming out daily, if you're not the type to beat and forget, keeping everything that interests you installed to your drive is faster to get you to play what you want when you want, especially when internet speed (and data caps for some) are bigger issues than HDD space, though HDD space becomes an issue too when games keep growing in size, at which point backing games to external drives seems like the obvious choice for slow internet people (like me).

Long shot, but has anyone played Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr? It's been a longtime dream to play a scifi/futuristic Diablo-like ARPG. It looks pretty good from videos, but $50 for the early access is a bit much imo.
Just curious if anyone has impressions.

Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag being the last game I played (not due lack of interest, mind; the rest are simply not within my purchasing range yet), can I get an enlightenment on how micro-transactions work in Unity and Syndicate?
I know that Brotherhood and up has it for cosmetic multiplayer stuff and Black Flag also has it for ship material (which I only found out after I finished the game...), but the latest two games don't have multiplayer and ships, right?

Yes, and also:
Some games aren't "beat and forget", but games that are nice just to hop in for a few rounds now and then.
Some games you beat but they optional/post-game stuff and while you have enough right now, you think "I'll probably get to that sometime".
Some games I keep around because I want to show them to a friend that comes over.
Some games I keep around because they're co-op and I can't play them all the time.
I'd rather keep games installed if they have more than a few GB size instead of uninstalling them only to get in the mood of playing it again only to realize the download takes hours and after it's done I don't have time anymore.
Ironically because of that, the bigger a game is the less I want to delete it...
What if you don't feel like playing that particular game on that particular day?
I don't install everything, but I always keep several games I intend to play next (or return to playing from before) installed to keep my options open.

I dunno, that's just not how I usually play my games. I'm usually infested in one game until the end. If I lost interest midway, I'll just uninstall it and move on to another game. And when I want to go back to that game, I'll just reinstall it. It won't take more than a night and my internet is only maxed out at 2mb/s download speed. At worst, I'll be able to play it after I'm back from work. Also, we can still play other games while waiting for the download to finish, this is usually the case on weekends for me. I do understand when it comes to online/multiplayer games though. It's nice to jump from one to another. But when it comes to single player games, I think it's best to finish them in one go.
For me, it all comes down to self-control and a little bit of patience.
