I'm not sure if I did it right

Era is pretty dumb, I was looking at the comments and some of them were talking about how the comments on Gematsu were creepy.... The hell if any one is creepy it's Era. Era tries to pass off certain things even though it is as likely guilty of what they are accusing others of, aka Hippocrits.

They just live to year down on other people and place themselves on a high pedestal.

Or are they only saying that stuff on era since the mods will "protect them"

I'm not sure if the things is shown or not but I was told to put it under "hide" and for some reason it won't let me edit on mobile.

50 costumes and 1 additional character ...............

To be honest, Gematsu comments are a cesspool.
As much as I have never seen Sal Romano and the mods be terrible people on their site or elsewhere, a lot of comments are Gamergate powered, especially concerning their weeb tendencies. Anything that "censors" or may threaten their otaku games with lolis in panties get theirs in a bunch. A few of the people there would not last long on Era, and certainly not here either.
The open forum threads are fucking awful, with mountains of "totes not porn because it's cropped lol" and assorted dubious twitter links.
And that's without even talking about their console wars which would be at home on Gamefaqs circa 2007.

Gematsu is the best for weeb news, but it's damn hard to have a decent conversation with a worrying amount of participants over there.

I started Children of Morta, it's nice. But as much as the RPG/rogue-like systems are well integrated to one another (a first I think, usually it's just pretext to grind until you reach X number), it does feel repetitive.
In large part because there are few enemy types. Bats are damn boring.
Cool game, but might drag on a bit...

Does Nvidia's new "Maximum Framerate" feature eliminate the need for RTSS?

It's also region locked

IIRC you can bypass it with steam://install/958260

Doesn’t work for everyone

That's too bad

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Ok, so, thanks to Parsnip and his idea, I made our trend line in terms of development of our little community when it comes to this threads and looks like we are doing good, don't you think?

What's the scale on the vertical axis?

 

[Le Pertti]

I will try to post more, just to see the bars go up!

 

[xxr]

That's too bad

No, it's definitely a good thing.

 

[「Echo」]

What's the scale on the vertical axis?

Amount of posts in our monthly MetaSteam OT.

 

[Derrick01]

WTF Koei, just....WTF:

At this point just look up SFM vids like everyone else does.

$90 for digital clothes

What happened in July? Why such a huge decrease from previous month? Vacation time?

That's $1.8 per costume. Cheaper than actual physical clothes

Number of posts/Thread ^^

Yes, pretty much this might be caused by summer, less activity in general.

 

[KainXVIII]

Weebs should suffer economically

 

[Deku]

It's growing slowly. The devs are changing their soundtracks dlcs to proper soundtracks

It was three soundtracks when Steam added soundtracks

I played it over a couple days last week and got really bored. It was a grind, then it had some decent pace for a bit, then it got a grind again. I ended up putting it down and then honestly completely forgot about it until I saw you post about it.
I think it could have helped if there was multiple paths to take at the same time. Going through the same level, randomised though they are, toward the same boss over and over got me down.

The only Dead or Alive that you need to play is Venus Vacation.

The only one i've played is Xtreme Beach Volleyball 3, best PS4 exclusive, straight up.
Wish i could try VV but the Workaround never worked for me

Oh nice, that's a much better solution than what it used to be

€90?

 

[PC-tan]

Hey weebs are you looking to buy a new monitor, then this maybe just for you


--- what are some reasons that the cover would be useful for? Just to prevent dust build up?

 

[Alextended]

It allows you to have glorious anime on your display even during a power cut/earthquake/whatever

Tommorow is the Lunar sale also when Steam will be having an OST sale?

 

[Deleted member 113]

Launching in a couple of days:

 

[Alextended]

What's he doing to update it from his last game other than going for blue instead of orange?

 

[prudis]

The game formerly known as the Mother 4 fan game is now called Oddity. It will launch for PC, Mac, and Linux “when it’s ready.

 

[ezodagrom]

Does Nvidia's new "Maximum Framerate" feature eliminate the need for RTSS?

Unfortunately it's not as good as the RTSS limiter.

 

[fantomena]

What exactly does it mean when I get "Query account by CD key" email?

This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration. It is being sent in response to a query made by a Steam user to discover all account names associated with this CD key.

 

[Bonfires Down]

According to this guy it’s just as good.

 

[Dragon1893]

Well, well, what do we have here? Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

 

[InquisitorAles]

The only Dead or Alive that you need to play is Venus Vacation.

It's pretty telling that this f2p volleyball waifu game feels less cash grab than the mainline DOA. In Venus Vacation, you have a chance to unlock girls and get most of the outfits for free, and if you don't want to get literally every single costume for every girl, then it's realistic to save up enough v-stones on them just by clearing weekly events and missions. Extensive DLCs is the reason why I'm not going to bother with DOA6, and honestly, all those fighting games should stop with that multiple seasons passes nonsense.

 

[Deleted member 113]

What's he doing to update it from his last game other than going for blue instead of orange?

While indeed the style is similar to his previous dungeon crawler (his last game was actually a simple maze game), which kind of makes sense, since the game is basically a spin-off from Das Geisterschiff / The Ghost Ship, changing the colour is surely not all he did:

I get that the style may not appeal to everyone, but personally, I find the combination of wireframe graphics, with his minimalistic (kick-ass) soundtracks very appealing.

In other news, this FMV title is finally available in Early Access:

 

[ezodagrom]

According to this guy it’s just as good.

He doesn't show it in the video, but frametime is more stable with RTSS.

 

[Alextended]

It was a genuine question, the style is pretty sweet and appealing in both.

 

[Tizoc]

Dead or Alive is the closest one can get to playing a Virtua Fighter like experience from what I've gathered.
At least until Virtua Fighter 5 is actuall released on Steam :V

 

[ezodagrom]

I was not expecting a game about this at all, I used to watch this when I was a kid (and it's coming to PS4, Switch and Steam):


EDIT: Replaced with the US channel video which shows the Steam logo instead of the generic PC logo, was linking the EU trailer before.

 

[Bonfires Down]

He doesn't show it in the video, but frametime is more stable with RTSS.

Where are you getting that info?

 

[ezodagrom]

Where are you getting that info?

From trying it myself.

 

[Alextended]

Is it RPG like Inazuma Eleven to have a story like the manga/anime or just soccer with very rudimentary story stuff?

The anime at least had a story, no idea about the game though.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

For those following Half-Life: Alyx, an event notification went out earlier stating that the whole Half-Life series was free to play until Half-Life Alyx is released:

"half life collection free to play until hl:a launch" :: Half-Life: Alyx General Discussions

did anyone just get a notifcation for this? it seems like they instantly deleted it

steamcommunity.com

It got deleted instantly, so I'm thinking the announcement might come later today. Maybe with news about HL: A.

 

[Deleted member 113]

It was a genuine question, the style is pretty sweet and appealing in both.

I find so as well.

It's obviously also a limitation of being a single person doing everything, including the soundtrack.

Speaking of soundtracks, there's a free 4 track soundtrack "teaser" available to download on bandcamp:

Sadly, it doesn't include the trailer track, which I quite like.

He is also doing the soundtrack for the upcoming game SKALD:

The Skald RPG Devlog – By High North Studios

www.skaldrpg.com

Here's a few free tracks from the demo backers received:



One last note, since I'm talking about the developer's soundtrack work: while not advertised, for those who own Das Geisterschiff / The Ghost Ship on Steam there's a free soundtrack sampler included. Check the download folder, it has 8 tracks (7 from the soundtrack, and an unreleased track that was planned, but dropped, from the next game). On top of that, there's some free remixes available as a free DLC (which, I assume now with the recent changes done to soundtracks, everyone should be able to download):
