Been a lot of word that Tales of Berseria is actually one of the best Tales of Games in years, if not one of the best in the whole series. Happy it's coming to PC, getting excited. The impressions from importers on the internet, here on GAF, Japanese players, and a few friends who imported it have been absolutely glowing.
I'm only an hour into Zesty but part of me wants to complete it before Berseria gets over here, but I hear Zest is awful..

I have this spare too.
I believe it when I see it. I hope it's good. I need more good JRPG's
The settings are crowd sourced and most people are fine with playing at 25 fps.

It's optimized, don't know why you'd think otherwise.
Optimized for Nvidia's bank account in order to get you to buy a 1080 to get acceptable performance at their recommended settings.
Distribution rights for films tend to be split among various companies worldwide as a means of reducing the financial risk, and in many cases a distinction is made between theatrical and home media releases -- Company A has the rights to distribute the film theatrically while Company B is slated to handle DVD/BD/VoD releases in the same region. Grave of the Fireflies, for instance, is being published on Steam by Sentai Filmworks and it only has home media distribution rights for the US.
The bigger the production company, the less true this becomes, though, with Disney being a prime example.
That's actually rad. The fuzzy dice are a nice touch.
Sean Murray's face on a demon is pretty funny too.

The weapons give more than just a small damage buff. It's more apparent the bigger enemies, where the right choice of weapon can halve the number of attacks needed to kill them. For example, you go from 5 to 2 charged attacks for several types of giant skeleton, if I recall correctly, by picking the right weapon. That said, there were a few enemies for which I could not figure out the appropriate choice of weapon, and the visual design is not consistently indicative of the appropriate choice of weapon.
But I do agree that there could have been more done to differentiate the weapons, as well as the associated spells.

As impressive as it is, it is lacking the main aspect of the game for me, which is to shoot photos of breath-taking environments.

Be more specific please?
Do you mean the NEW game inspired by the Monster World series called Monster Boy which has been slated for PC since its reveal nearly a year ago?
Or do you mean Monster World Dragon's Trap remake which was announced for PC upon reveal some months ago?
Or the recent Wonder Boy Returns, being a 'Flash' drawn remake of Wonder Boy 1 which even in its thread title on GAF, it states it is coming to PC ergo Steam?
Do clarify lad!
Speaking of Windows 10 updates by the way, for anyone who wants to play Fallout 3/NV, Windows 10's latest update broke something in Nvidia's drivers, so the games don't even load and CTDs. For Fallout NV, I used the beta build of NVAC which finally allowed me to get into the game, however, there's a ton of glitches (everyone's bald...) and the game is actively trying to crash every few minutes and at every load screen. Some users on r/fnv have stated that you can rollback Nvidia drivers to 368.xx which should resolve all current issues. No luck for AMD either right now, as apparently they're also suffering from similar issues, which also can be fixed with a driver rollback.
Nvidia's official 372.90 release document states that the CTD for Bethesda titles (F3, NV, Skyrim) is a known issue not caused by Nvidia's drivers, so it's unlikely that they're going to fix it in a future driver update, and I doubt Microsoft is going to do so either. AMD having the same issue leads me to believe that Microsoft screwed up somewhere. So hopefully a mod fixes all the issues, I'm hoping that NVAC can do it.
FWIW, Skyrim worked fine for me, and it only seems to be F3/NV that have the issue.

Really great to hear that Beseria is good. Will have to check it out as soon as it's on steam.
Agreed 100%, although I can't comment on the expansions because I still haven't gotten them yet, steam sales pls. ;-; Still, it was my first CRPG so I really enjoyed it regardless. Happy birthday dude.

That'd be all of them~
My playtime per two weeks is finally back to normal after using the card glitch, from 800+ hours to 20+ hours.
But the last played games list is still showing all the games I have idled. How long do the games stay in that list?

Origins really did deserve an update alongside Asylum and City- it felt a bit more janky than the others, but even with all that, I think it was second only to the first game. Best boss fights and most fun roster of villains in the series by a mile too- Knight should've learned something from that end of things at least.

Virginia releases in a few hours on Steam.
There is a demo available on the store page.
It's receiving glowing reviews thus far.
I'm excited for it, can always do with more Lynchian games.

My corresponding page looks to include activity from the past four weeks/a month or so.
Hmm... so two more weeks until the list gets cleaned. Steam should change so that it only list last two weeks activity, at least so it corresponds the hours played from recent games >.<

For some strange reason the Nvidia optimized settings (and their corresponding guides when Andy makes one) always target 40fps when recommending settings for any GPU. I'm not particularly sure why they do this, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's partially because most people are actually okay playing games at 30-40fps and partially because games are rather demanding these days and hitting 60fps might be out of reach for all but the top end cards.

Is the glitch dead? Can't seem to get it work now.
Oh well, nice while it lasted.

It worked for me, though only with games that I already had 2 hours played. The games with less than that wouldn't drop anything.

She has regular hands (well, and some person that was in the car, I think) while everyone else has block hands.
