I'm free! Finally decided to uninstall Fallout Shelter, felt little waste of time when I realized I couldn't get the last achivement without spending money on microtransactions.
Still, my GOTY so far haha, but that's because I haven't really played anything really this year so my list is quite sad.

It seems Thursday the 22nd it goes live.

I'll just put this behind spoiler tags for anyone that has yet to play DSII's dlc, it contains area and boss spoilers.
The squad you fight at the end of the Cave of the Dead is the only one of the three I'm referring to that's really unique, and it's a decent fight in co-op. It's not fun if you're going in alone, though, and the area leading up to it isn't enjoyable at all due to the statues.
The Iron Passage is also annoying to go through, even in co-op. Barely anyone was playing SotFS when I was playing it, so it didn't make much of a difference anyway. The boss is a magic Smelter Demon with a slightly different moveset, which isn't really unique. It's only memorable because it's a variant of the Smelter Demon.
The Frigid Outskirts is a terrible location due to the frequent whiteout/blizzard. The area is only memorable due to this combined with the fact that you have to trudge through it every time you die to the bosses. Lud and Zallen are even more uninspired than blue Smelter as Aava is the first boss you fight in the same DLC.
Alonne was the only optional boss in the DLCs that I really liked, and the area leading up to him wasn't nearly as annoying as any of the others.

Only thing that those negative reviews on Steam for GTA V did so far is increasing number of GTA V players.
... you realize 13 Jun was when a big ass update for the online was released, yes?
Sure, a surge of negative reviews for the game is totally what suddenly got everyone interested in playing it again.
Oh i forgot about that XD But again it also shows that people don't care in general. Everything looks like that MW2 boycott situation

I'm so fucking tired of that image. Like oh boy, 19 people didn't stand up to the boycott. What a surprise, some people don't. Ugh.
Just another way people like to belittle consumers for speaking their mind. :/

First page from 17. Plus the above.

Unless you think the people playing the update are the same ones writing the reviews, that seems like a faulty thesis.
Even if they are, they've already paid for the game.

I wish Valve or someone would take it upon themselves to tag each unfinished game on steam with big ass yellow writing on the games page that the devs just chose to never finish the damn thing and are still charging for it. Looking at you Nier >.>
Nah it is usually that way. General public doesn't care about things like this and i know that. And they are ones that Take2/Rockstar is aiming for. No matter how popular GTA V mods are only small part of the userbase cares about them. Whole this thing about GTA V since last gen console release is just sad to me. First PC version was released year and a half later, then R* abandoned singleplayer and now this mods thing really shows what their priorities are. I am really curious to see how deep they will go with RDR 2.
I like when that image is posted, because the trajectory of CoD sales on PC since MW2 actually confirms that people will not put up with bs indefinitely, at least on PC.
Well CoD is still released every year. We get Rockstar game every 3-4 years or more since Max Payne 3.

Fantastic point.
Uninstall everything on your PC but Steam.
Do supersampling in your GPU Control Panel. Use Google.
I remember people recommending some programs for like Dark Souls and Nier Automata. What about MSI Afterburner? Or should I just overclock from the bios?
ye i didn't mean to say the rest were bad
I know, I left it vague on purpose. Outside of saying I want branching storylines - ie if I fail a mission for reasons other than death (ie timer ran out, arrested) and having the story branch off to actually take my failure into account, progressing the story from that point - its hard to describe the other changes I had hoped would come in the sequels.
I know games in general rarely if ever have dynamic branching storylines, but it was always something I always felt the GTA games were artificially handicapped by. There are never setbacks, and the story path is always absolute - you don't have any impact on it what so ever. Am I asking too much from GTA? Maybe, but I'm not calling them out for it, and they're obviously making more than enough people happy to counteract my lack of purchase
MSI Afterburner is useful. So is Nvidia Profile Inspector if you use Nvidia GPUs.
And of course game-specific mods/fixes are useful for those specific games.

Anyone has any experience with GeForce experience?
Installed it like 2 weeks ago, because for whatever reason Attack on Titan uses the internal "CPU-GPU" instead of my dedicated GPU, so I had to tell the game to not do that. Since then though everytime I start a game or even a video, my screen gets black a short second. Even if I turn on my TV, that happens.
Any way to fix it?

One day I'm going to learn to check to see if I own games before buying them.
You're welcome, enjoy!

I'm watching CEO right now and they just announce Killer Instinct is coming to Steam.
Neat, can finally try it out.

Thanks man. I still have the CD copies somewhere in my room, but glad to enjoy the Enhanced Edition again.
Thanks~

Nice.
I was going to post a tweet from a few hours ago where they said "stay tuned for news at CEO" but I figured "nah no way its a steam announcement, its probably just about Eagle"
Wow, that's cool. Did they say anything about the crossplay with XO users? My douchebag friends only like them consoles and it's one of the few games I can play with the two of them that own an Xbox. (haven't played against so far but I was getting them to play it ...)

Thank me for buying the UWP version. (I used free credit, but still)
This means the game will finally support dinput controllers/sticks thanks to Steam Input. 🙏

I wasn't paying to much attention but sounded like there is crossplay with UWP and X1 versions.
You're welcome xD

So what MS is telling me is wait for Ori 2 to hit Steam eventually?
I gave KI a try but I didn't feel like buying it off the Windows 10 store, might buy it off Steam.

Wait. Was it announced that Ori 2 is Win Store exclusive?
At this point it seems relatively safe to assume most MS games will come to Steam eventually. The only ones I could see remaining exclusive to the Win Store are Gears and mainline Halo because they're two of their biggest IPs.
Stuff like Age of Empires DE and Ori 2 will almost certainly bomb super hard on the Win Store. I'd be very surprised if they don't end up on Steam sooner or later.

Woah, that's interesting. Never thought it'd come to steam.
You folks who have been saying you'd buy KI if it was on Steam better keep your word!
All right. Thanks.
All right. Thanks.

I imagine this scenario will definitely happen a bit too frequently.
*Boots up KI*
"WOW, THIS GAME LOOKS AWESOME!!"
*Goes online*
*Gets bodied*
*Has to sit through the opponent doing 3 ultra combos in a row, interspersed with teabagging*
*Uninstalls KI*

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Microsoft is in a crazed knife fight with Overstock.com for title of Most Scatterbrained Company With No Idea How To Proceed As A Business.
Sweet. I used to kick ass on SNES. Will wishlist, and buy eventually (too bad i'll probably never play it cuz I'm a wannabe).
