I have been playing Mini Metro lately and now four of my rarest achievement are from the game.

All achievements have less than 0.5% players who have completed them

The others are from Mighty no 9.

There is something sad when your rarest achievement showcase are all from the same game and they stay there for a prolonged period of time, especially when it's for a good game.

A few Elliot Quest achievements have crept in but that's only because it only just got them added. It's was nothing but The Flame in the Flood beforehand and presumably will be again. It has its issues but it deserved to be played by more people.

New Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age interview

FF World: Any plans to bring The Zodiac Age to PC?

Kato: The thing about the original game is that it was fully optimized to make the fullest use of the PlayStation 2 hardware. This time again, we decided that, in the same way, we would use the PlayStation 4 hardware and optimize everything to work really well with it. For the time being, we're quite happy keeping it for the PS4. We think everyone should buy one to play this game!

Tl;dr = please kindly double dip on PC later!

He just means they coded it to the metal. So they could port it to iOS, since there you actually have metal as an API, but not to Windows.

Lol, I kinda feel sorry for these guys, he can't say anything that would hurt sales of the PS4 version but at the same time he says "for the time being" so yeah, we'll just have to wait.

Thanks for the heads up!

I feel like I have as many free games on GOG as I do paid ones, at this point.

I don't follow...
You're not using the program to cheat, just toggle game's internal timer for faster move execution. Nothing else. Do you also watch the intro videos, including those nice NVIDIA or AMD commercials, in other games? Or do you delete them ASAP?
Unless there's something about Cheat Engine developers I'm missing. Are they furries, neo-nazis or EA CEOs?

That entire thing reads like a really long youtube comment rant.

As someone who's been around since the dawn of PC gaming, it's pretty obvious Valve and Steam (while obviously not perfect) have been a massively postive influemce on the PC scene.

I have to agree that valve is not your friend, no corporation is and everybody should always be aware of the fact

But this entire article is rather cringe worthy to read. The repeated sarcastic usage of "Good guy valve", the complaints about people disliking origin (when these two situations arent even comparable) and the inherent extremely pessimistic viewpoint about everything makes it seem like just another rant.

It could be potentially a good article if the author maybe took a step back or two and calmed down a bit, but if this would've been a youtube vid i wouldn't be able to tell it apart from any other angry youtube guy rant

 

[dave is ok]

lol the last paragraph

The imaginary Gabe, the one in our memes, is a cultural defense mechanism, a happy fiction we all invented to make us feel better about the fact that we were, and remain, willing partners in installing PC gaming's biggest, most opaque, exploitative monopoly — one which we know deep down doesn't care about us at all.

Maybe it's time for all of us to wake up.

I can't wait for the people who think Steam is a monopoly to experience a real monopoly. Better hope WeGame stays overseas

[gabbo]

The article reads like it could be from a Gaffer with an Uncharted avatar and "4theplayers" font.

The article's tone is a bit much, but the points it makes are salient. Valve does a lot of underhanded things, and the "whatever... *eyerole*" responses here prove the kind of mindless devotion they have that the articles speaks of.

The company's done good things for pc gaming, but it shouldnt be held up as a shining, untouchable beacon either.

"Sony s not your friend, and the Playstation 4 is not healthy for gaming"

If nintendo and microsoft had the market share of the Ouya, this would be a valid criticism

I think especially in this thread people are really wary of Valve. Look at stuff like the new gifting rules etc.

This article though reads far more than, like I said, a fanboys opinion on Steam/Valve imo.

A lot of the points the article makes you coul easily apply to 99% of other companies. The Gaben-Meme, you could easily replace with Hirai memes etc.

After fiddling to get a smooth running NOLF I came across this article on Kotaku.

"We had managed to get a hold of the source code for the first game and the second game. We had already created a laundry list of updates and enhancements and bug-fixes that we wanted to do to the original titles," he said. "So, essentially what we would've ended up with was a definitive version of both of those games. We were about to commit a large chunk of development time in making sure that No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 were 100% compatible with Windows 8 64, Linux, OSX, had a full complement of Steam features, achievements, working multiplayer, dedicated servers… this is our baby, and we really wanted to give it every chance that we could, to make sure that people would play it again, and enjoy it to its fullest extent."

Kick told me that they'd "probably gotten overzealous" and had even created marketing materials for their re-release.

Sad to see what would've been a great release on Steam getting held back because of copyright mess.
