i heard that game runs pretty well on PC

a big part of the reason i'm switching from ps4 to pc is that i'll be able to play a lot of x1 exclusives like forza, gow4 and that new 'sans-timer' dead rising

It's not too bad if you're okay with 30fps, it looks significantly better than the Xbox version I think and plays well even at that framerate.

Trying to finish Doom today. My GOTY for sure but not just because its the only game I think I will end up playing this year that came out this year (that I remember anyway). It truly is awesome.

 

[Tizoc]

Speaking of DOOM 2016, it'll be AGDQ '17, apparently they aim to beat the game in under 90 minutes.

 

[cyba89]

Yes. And then it crashes. And after restart it runs terribly. And then it crashes. And after restart it runs fine. And then it crashes.
It's a technical mess, the likes of Arkham Knight or MKX.

I played Arkham Knight PC on release and had less problems than I have with FH3 now.
I think I never regretted a gaming-related purchase more.

 

[Stallion Free]

It's probably worth full price, but I have maybe 1000 games worth full price that I've already bought and not yet played so for me there's a pretty strong barrier to buying something new for full price for that reason. Like, I paid full price for Golden Sun 2 in 2003 and I still haven't finished it.

Bruh.... let me help you...

Even this feels unmanageable tbh.

PS look in ur heart and kno that there arent 1000 games in existence worth buying yet let alone at full $$$$$$

I'm wondering why Steam keeps asking me to give it admin controls whenever I start a big game.

I assume that this isn't the first time that you're playing them (when it might be for an installer)?

No, but it's acting like it is. Not just for Dark Souls, but others as well. Even though it's done it every time I've fired it up

omg how did Requiem: Avenging Angel and Dark Stone get on Steam? I've just had the most dumbfounded look on my face all day trying rationalizing those two game on Steam?

Who owns the right SiN Gold?

 

[JaseC]

https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/

It's user submitted and occasionally some info is wrong. But some bundle sites (like GameBundle) have an official user who submits all their bundles. Or there is a mod who does (Indie Gala). [And BAGB 49 was there]

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/C0hpX/new-master-list-of-ongoing-bundles

I am a casual bundle purchaser at this point but I check reddit.com/r/gamebundles and GAF and then occasionally pop on IndieGameStand or Chrono.gg manually to check the daily deal

epicbundle.com is usually pretty decent.

Cheers.

Who owns the right SiN Gold?

MumboJumbo. It owns Ritual.

Edit: Oh, I may have misunderstood your post. It's on GOG in all its uncensored glory if you're looking to buy it.

I've been playing a lot of Artifex Mundi's hidden object games in my downtime lately. I don't care what anybody says, shit's fun.

i have like a category for games i should play and dump all the good ones there

it sort of works i guess, helps filter out the bulk of my library

 

[pantsattack]

Thanks guys. I just uninstalled six games.

One last Lovely Weather check in:

Chatbot knows all.

Maybe way down the road I'll remember to try it again as I think the plants might grow and the grass get cut.

Quantum Break on Steam is a bomba. It's struggling to even reach 40k owners after 9 days. Here's hoping for a 75% off soon..

In the other hand, Mafia III is doing great with 138k in just 3 days despite all of the uproar, and that's a very premature number.

 

[freshVeggie]

The future is here lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/

Though you'll have to see if the tags work one they come out of early access.

I still think this is OP worthy, Orange.

This is very neat. Thanks.

I started organising my games into something like 30+ categories but gave up as it seemed too much like hard work. So now something like 60% of my collection sits in the "uncategorised" bucket.

I have it split up by

Beaten

To play indie
Maybe
Maybe indie

Though if I buy something and will play it right after buying I keep it in the games category. Anything that has a bad overall review and I know I'll never touch, I just hide it.

Their expectations can't have been too high considering the word of mouth the game had both from performance standpoint and from just general review standpoint.
It's probably doing more or less what they expected.

 

[pantsattack]

freshVeggie;219641879]This is very neat. Thanks.

I wish steam had a toggle that only showed games you already own and you could basically "shop" through your collection. Atmospheric FPS with exploration and survival elements? STALKER->PLAY

I watched an entire playthrough of QB, and... the story wasn't bad. The characters weren't bad. The dialogue wasn't bad. It did nothing special as a whole, but at the same time kept itself in check (for a time traveling plotline). As a turn-your-brain off popcorn thriller, it's worth a watch/play (ignoring the live-action episodes).

I hate being in shameless mode, it's one of the worst times of game development for me.

Anyways, I'm trying a strategy where I post a small gameplay video every 2-3 days and see how that helps the Greenlight campaign. Temporary uploads, though.

This is for Hollow Bliss, of course. I'll stop linking it after this post but keep you guys updated on the videos.

Wait did something change about it that lets you mass sell cards at market prices? Because AFAIK it doesn't have that functionality.

I doubt that can be done.

Mafia III 60 FPS video

https://mafiagame.com/en/news/view/en-mafia-3-a-message-to-our-pc-players/



I'm interested in reading what actually happened behind the scenes for such a weird decision to launch the game with a 30fps lock to release a patch with unlocked framerate only a few days later. This only hurt them. Delaying the game for a few days and releasing it with unlocked framerate would have made so much more sense.

General bad performance and technical issues that would take months to fix like Arkham Knight. 2K wanted it out and there was no stopping it.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

who the fuck plays their games

what is this 2009

I have too many games to play any of them.

 

[Xanathus]

Been playing the Vermintide Quests & Contracts beta build the past 2 days. It basically adds daily quests to the game, and some of the daily quests give you "keys" which give progression towards a larger reward which you pick beforehand such as headgear, weapons or trinkets. One thing to note is that typically at least one of these key quests every day appears to be on Nightmare difficulty so you have to be fairly good at the game in order to do them. Anyway so far it's a good way to revitalize the game although the beta actually adds a whole bunch of new serious bugs such as falling through the floor into the game so those need to be fixed.

An Open Letter to the Developers of Stephen's Sausage Roll, Va-11 Hall-A, Momodora 4, Slime Rancher, Virginia, Inside, Turing Test, The Bunker, Abzu, Jalopy, Headlander, Epistory, and Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human,

In case you have not already heard, Syberia 3 has been delayed to 2017. The fortunate thing for you is that this opens a slot in my GOTY list. Please deeply discount your games so I buy them.

Yours,
NeoGAF.com Administrator and Internet Thought Leader Stumpokapow

I'm not sure if Va-11 Hall-A gonna appeal to your tastes (at least given what I've gathered from your posts, unless there's a side of yours you've been hiding all along), but it is a really sweet game and I hope everyone get to enjoy it. Every now and then I get to play something that makes me think "damn, games are cool", and Va-11 Hall-A was that one for me. Can't think of any game stealing my GOTY title from it this year.

 

[LurkerPrime]

If you try to launch Saint's Row 4... and then lunches again (forever) in Windows 10, validate the local files and it'll fix itself.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I beat Epistory in two sittings, roughly 4.5 hours. Really fun little game. I think they brought it to the limit of its potential and no further. It's basically a top-down action adventure where the main mechanic is typing. A few parts were a bit of a slog but overall fun, original, and great to look at!

I'm not sure if Va-11 Hall-A gonna appeal to your tastes (at least given what I've gathered from your posts, unless there's a side of yours you've been hiding all along), but it is a really sweet game and I hope everyone get to enjoy it. Every now and then I get to play something that makes me think "damn, games are cool", and Va-11 Hall-A was that one for me. Can't think of any game stealing my GOTY title from it this year.

The cool factor is competing against the "anime was a mistake" factor but I do want to give it a shot! Despite my sometimes polemic tone here I'm actually pretty open-minded underneath my neuroses!

 

[hooijdonk17]

I have a problem with Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, namely I'm not enjoying it. I mean, I get the whole 80s schtick and all the easter eggs are cool and all.. but..

I came in expecting a mostly linear standalone expansion that would deliver an 80s movie kind of experience, but walked out an hour later (Dam mission) with something mostly about wandering a pseudo-sandbox full of outposts to liberate, dumb filler side quests and incredibly tedious encounters (jeeps and dragons) and stupid collectables (TVs and shit) inbetween. Is this the general Far Cry formula these days? I haven't played a Far Cry game since the original, but if this is basically what they are I'll make a mental note to avoid them from now on..

 

[uncredited male]

People liked Blood Dragon because it was not as ass-long as the main series and it didn't try to wow you with some mediocre meta-narrative.

Well, there are no WinStore sales figures to compare against, and at the very least I'd say the costs involved with the three months spent "porting" the game to DX11 have been recouped -- plus, at the end of the day, it's still ~37k+ more sales than MS would have otherwise seen.

I suspect ReCore's free trial is the last hurrah before Microsoft begrudgingly fast-tracks a Steam release.

Or maybe WinStore games sales are doing a lot better than some people would've predicted/hoped.
