After adding Battlefield 3 and 4 as non-Steam games, I can't seem to get the Steam overlay to work on them. It makes me think it's because of Origin, but there are people where it works correctly.

anyone have a short recap of the conferences today?
i missed pretty much everything except for carmack and the lis dev game looking clunky lol
you know, out of all games the one that reminds me of berserk the most is nier
doesn't mean i don't get to call you two dumbos
both are excellent games

idk, just feels like he's the kind of person that like totalbiscuit should just stay out of social media
why? edgy 90s attitude is like actually really fun for everyone
most definitely. i don't even think i want a berserk game, the action in that series is fun/interesting but it's not what draws me to it, and i don't think a game that captures its subtlety would be easy to make
you know, out of all games the one that reminds me of berserk the most is nier
uhh i don't care what other ppl think about my favorite games so i can't be baited like this
doesn't mean i don't get to call you two dumbos
now why would you even make this comparison
both are excellent games
?
Maybe everyone should stay out of social medias.
...
Well except that Kaz Hirai CEO twitter...
And Iashman...
And Obama...
That's about it really.

Sony's presser pre-show started now with the actual show in about 30 mins.
Last year had many PC game reveals but not expecting much this time.
Also, what happened with Shenmue III? Haven't heard a single thing about it ever since. As well not about a Shenmue Classic Collection :'(

except the games on Origin, Uplay and Battle.net are functionally identical to the Steam or DRM free versions. Saying people don't like UWP because "hurr durr it's not on STEAM" is missing the point entirely
don't go broke buying the inevitable card packs to get sweet new abilities and other items
Games take time to get developed.
no, I was saying that is why I didnt like UWP. Im pretty sure I used "I" and "me/mine" several times in that post aswell.

Wait, did they show more Vampyr somewhere?
Anyways, Gwent is my official Game of the Show so far.
I thought it looked terrible. Wasn't expecting another first person survival game from it, but more of an RPG thing.

I'm really starting to hate you bastards for making me sound like a Microsoft apologist. I was bitching about Microsoft when half of you were in diapers.
It's the endless cycle though.
"Oh we want console ports"
"Here's one functionally identical to the console version"
"No, we want console ports that are just like they were developed for the PC"
We're talking about a few otherwise Xbox exclusive games. People here talk like every single game that comes out from now on will suddenly be UWP and not on Steam.
The irony is, to play Killer Instinct, I press my Killer Instinct short cut, and the game runs. No client, no nothing. It "feels" less intrusive than those clients. I'm not dismissing the restrictions of the platform, but insofar as just playing the game goes, it's arguably not as bad. Especially compared to some of the more intrusive versions of uPlay.

It's funny. When games have the player doing what you're describing in 2D, with much smaller movesets and no real strategic depth to speak of, they're labeled classic brawlers.
Make the gameplay fully 3D, add bigger movesets, more playable characters, character progression, and a strategic layer that forces you to react to events unfolding throughout the battlefield, and suddenly words like "repetitive", "mediocre" and worse start getting thrown around. What gives?
The Musou games are an evolution of the side-scrolling beat-'em-up. They're not trying to be highly technical, "stylish action" games. If you judge them against that yardstick, of course you're going to be disappointed. But they're more than worthy successors to the brawlers of old. I think they get an unfairly bad rap, tbh.

All that work people could put into better games, like Dino crisis.
It's a valid point, but "classic brawlers" got done to death too, and were frequently chastised for being unoriginal pallet swaps. It basically died out as a genre for a reason. And my biggest complaint about even modern versions of those brawlers was exactly that they are repetitive and mediocre (I made it like half way through Castle Crashers before I got bored with it). So plenty of people make the same complaints about that genre too. Personally I try not to use the word repetitive as a disparagement, because it depends highly on the individual game. All games are repetitive to a degree. "Tedious" is the word I use more often.

Sony E3 conference is now live. Maybe there will be some PC ports of PS exclusives???

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
For this to make even a semblance of sense, you'd have to believe Microsoft has no greater ambition for UWP than its own games.
This is GFWL2. They will buy exclusivity. They will push as far as possible to gain as much control as possible.

And nothing will stand in their way other than forum paranoia!
Look, I'm not saying that people shouldn't complain about the shortcomings of the platform. Of course they should. But why on earth anyone, especially people in this thread, would think Microsoft could suddenly come to dominate PC gaming, no matter how much money they throw at it, is insane. The only way that will happen is if it's actually superior. Which is honestly more likely than the doomsday scenario everyone so morbidly afraid of UWP keeps presenting.
Quite frankly, Valve needs some decent competition. We all know it. The client is shit, their customer service is still shit, and the store is rapidly filling up with shit. I doubt as much as anyone that Microsoft can present a viable alternative, but if it motivates Valve even slightly to step things up, it will be worthwhile.

OMG
Resident Evil went full Silent Hill
Resident Evil went full Silent Hill
I must say, I got caught off guard with that Resident Evil 7 trailer. Hopefully it'll be avaiable on Steam as well.
Also. Horizon ZD looks better by the day. As someone who isn't fond of open world games, this one looks HOT. Hopefully the writing will be just as spot on as the mechanics are.

I don't see any wording to imply its exclusivity.

Hey if 6 can be a piece of shit and a numbered entry, then so can this new one.

Man, that's not how I wanted RE7 to be. It does look interesting though.
I think the fear is that third-person action RE is dead. I know not everyone was fond of the direction, but personally I'd rather have all three exist simultaneously (first-person, third-person action, third-person tank with prerendered backgrounds).
VR compability at the least seems to be exclusive? If so that'd be pretty big for a game that was designed for VR first and foremost.
