Echoes of Aetheria has a really weird difficulty spike at the final dungeon.
Yes, I know, par the course for JRPGs... Still not something you want to put up with while just trying to finish the game. Especially when you were mopping the floor with enemies 15 minutes before and now a single random encounter mob can destroy you faster than you can say 'Seagate 3TB HDD'.

I have a question about the Danganronpa series on Steam: is there a major different between the Steam and Vita versions of the games? I heard/read something vague about the games being stretched or blurry or something like that? Maybe I misunderstood?

Has there been any word of Steins Gate 0 making its way to Steam?

The steam version has some aspects where you can clearly see some things were upscaled and that can cause some blurryness in the background scenes but it still looks fine and wasn't really noticeable most of the time .It runs great performance wise and runs at 60 fps and allows greater resolutions.

The vita version is of course portable and the assets are better suited for it since it was originally developed for it and runs at 30fps, it still runs great and completed it two times on the vita.

BRB, buying the bumper sticker.

I need to out-match the person in my work's parking lot that has the absolute GOAT: "De-fund Congress, Not Our Blue Angels!"

I remember a good long while ago I helped my friend move into a room he was renting from this older woman. On one trip moving stuff through the garage I saw her old Mercedes which had, no hyperbole, 5 different anti-circumcision bumper stickers on it.

Like, I'm with you lady but chill out.

Interesting, thanks for this. Is this the case for both games or just the first?

I only played about 3 hours of 2 because I finished it on the vita not to long before it was announced and didn't feel like playing it over again so soon but it seemed the same performance wise as the first one and didn't have any problems during that time.

Also, Where is Ultra Despair Girls!?

Pick up junk, eat it, sleep, repeat.

all the positive reviews from the uncertain are in russian

shady af imo

also in regards to FF being more popular in the west than DQ, can I state it's because people in the west have trash taste and the weeaboo otaku crowd won't buy games unless they are pandered too

The only negative one as well.

В старых квестах хотябы показывалось куда ты можешь зайти куда нет ... а здесь ты вот все углы дожен тыркаться что бы понять ...

At least in the old quests show closer where you can go where no ... and here you are here all the corners dozhen tyrkat that would understand ...

Something about running aimlessly clicking everywhere.

And a positive review full of criticisms:

Наиграл пока всего час - очень уж хочется спать, но первые впечатления уже есть. Игра в целом понравилась, но перечислю мои претензии.
1. Оптимизация хромает. Ничего критичного, не ватман последний, и даже не Deus EX, но фпс иногда проседает.
2. Я не далеко продвинулся по сюжету(вышел из госпитал&#1103, но если все будет идти по рельсам по которым идет сейчас, то я буду сильно разочарован банальны сюжетом. Надеюсь будут сюжетные повороты.
3. Поговорить можно (пок&#1072 с персонажами только на одну тему.
4. Общая неспешность. Я понимаю что это фича, но это несколько уныло.

After playing until an hour - very much want to sleep, but first impressions are already there. The game generally liked, but will list my complaints.
1. Optimization of lame. Nothing critical, Whatman not last, and even Deus EX, but sometimes sags fps.
2. I'm not far advanced the plot (released from the hospital), but if all goes according to the rails on which there is now, I'll be very disappointed banal plot. I hope to be plot twists.
3. Talk can not (yet) with the characters of only one subject.
4. The general slow pace. I understand that this is a feature, but it is somewhat dull.

I would not have given a thumbs-up and said that the game was boring (need to sleep), optimization is poor, banal plot, no choice of during dialogues, slow pace.

I might just buy the game anyway since I enjoyed the demo. Just do not tell me the demo is 30% to 50% of the episode.

Pretty sure bet Zero is coming as well.

Rocket League continues its streak of awesomeness.

The awesomeness of not implementing a simple playlist, still, to this day.

I simply refuse to play Wasteland, Neotokyo or any other experimental map in ranked. There's no excuse for this.

Fallout 4 + Franchise Book + Soundtrack (Physical, Steam) = £9.99

Add code on checkout: AMZEGXF4PC

Seemed to work for me, though not sure if its a prime only offer

What other titles does this code work with? Tried it on Witcher 3 GotY retail but it didn't accept :/

The code has F4 PC in it so it probably just works for Fallout 4.

It's Fallout 4 PC only (another code for console versions)

The Saboteur now being on GOG (half off for launch week, I assume) means I have literally no reason whatsoever to use Origin.

I wonder if EA will pull the trigger and publish it on Steam.

Edit: They were working on it... Who knows what happened.

Oh I thought it was universal, thanks for the info.

Bioshock glitched somewhat. A little sister who left me a teddy bear wouldn't go back into a vent. A big daddy I was trailing got stuck on her, and it took about a minute before he... "pushed" her enough to access the vent and call out another little sister.

On the plus side, no crashes since that first one in Arcadia.

Apparently MW2 thinks it's OK to make your ammo counter disappear when subtitles are on the screen.

Because cinematic experience, I presume?

 

[Nzyme32]

Seems I am breaking my don't pre-order rule more than ever this year. Decided to bite on 22% off Civ VI on GMG since I have some money. Hoping (and likely going to fail) to stick with Civ VI and Stellaris and all my backlog for the foreseeable future as I cut down from spending and focus on the backlog...... it will be a valiant attempt I'm sure

Not quite - added 3 years ago, and only updated a year ago with EULA etc - there has been nothing at all since then, the other updates are non-related to the game.

Actually looking at - looks like even the EULA change a year ago might have just been a Valve change. In which case it has been abandoned for three years

Are we talking about MW or 50 Cent in Blood on the Sand

You are right Jase, but the only reason for me it's Need for Speed Rivals (I don't thing EA will release that game on Steam)...

Shit ya. Played it at release.

I'm due for another playthrough.

I should give Saboteur another chance. I did enjoy the shooting in it at least

Have you tried shooting everyone who is talking to make them stop?

Oh Obsidian you goofs.

Is there an easy way to remember which kind of anti-aliasing is more or less expensive? Every time I'm in an options menu I blank on it.

lol wth

It got me wondering too, until suddenly... unicorn.

Since Vin Diesel's Wheelman won't come back to Steam anymore, I will buy it on ebay (retail of course)...

FXAA is cheap
MSAA is more expensive
SSAA will bring your system to it's knees

tfw you can turn on SMFSATXAA X154 on a GTX 1070 and still get super cinematic frames.

Oh that's awesome, if I didn't have a massive backlog and school I'd grab it on GOG. Maybe later down the line.

 

[LurkerPrime]

FX, MS, SS. I'll try to keep this in mind.

Though really, so long as it isn't blurry TAA or killing my FPS, I don't pay much attention to it...

yea

off

:>

But then the jaggies will attack.


Though I do kind of long for the days when I had a bad GPU and could stand to turn off things like anti-aliasing, shadows, draw distance, resolution... along with everything else. Nowadays I just want it all; it has made me greedy.

 

[pantsattack]

Hook done, 50 levels, not getting any strikes on the latter levels was a nice challenge, and just one achievement for finishing it makes it easy to delete it and move on.

i restarted steam and rebooted and it didn't work

I started it up again to go and sign out but then it started working.. maybe steam community was fucked or something
