But seriously, Been playing a lot, if you need some tips maybe I can help.
Underrated game in my opinion. My only true gripe is how repetitive combat encounters become and how safe the level design is saved from that great bridge level.Well, that didn't take as long as I had hoped.
I probably should've played like an act a day or something, make it last a little. There's still like 2 weeks to go until Control...
I already completed it years ago but maybe I should do a replay of Alan Wake too while I'm at it...
Also, I think Death Stranding's photo mode has spoiled me. I expected to take a bunch of screenshots since I remembered the lighting in QB looking fantastic, but who wants to take normal screenshots?! The game's upscaling also makes the image super blurry and even my GTX 1660 Super took a hell of a performance hit when I turned it off. I probably could've managed 30fps with it turned off but I'd rather have a blurry image at 60fps.
The game needed a sequel.
And let me push back a little.
I always try to educate the AAA single-player crowd that the gaming market is a thousand times bigger than what they believe.
What I am against, is the little part of the world left, who don't really care about gaming, that tries to shoehorn what gaming SHOULD BE and make it their champion.
I do not expect a quasi Alan Wake sequel.
This will be Control, with a pinch of Alan Wake in it. I expect the light/dark mechanic to play a role, I hope we are at least going briefly back to Bright Falls and I expect to meat Alan Wake near the end and learn what happened to him through "logs"
In short: I'm tempering my expectations.
Yeah, realistically, they'll use this to give Alan some closure and that'll be that. I can't help but hope they'll tease something bigger, though.
Is this Epic saving developers?
The Outer Worlds DLC went up on SteamDB. (2 dlc, likely the upcoming expansion and the expansion pass, 2nd expansion will probably go up on steamdb closer to release in 2021) With this and the asset updates I guess they’ll be making the official steam release date announcement soon.
Hopefully the Steam version launches with a base game + expansion pass bundle and a 50% discount like Borderlands 3. Will prob pick It up day 1 if thats what they do.

I reported both things on blue bird social network the very same day it happened, no one reads me
But the review build went up 2 weeks ago
13 hours ago it was just listed. I think it's funny that review build is being handled through steam
The review build of the DLC being handled through steam is really funny considering the egs deal doesnt end until almost 2 months after it releases everywhere elseBut the review build went up 2 weeks ago

You might be thinking of that other Vampire TM game that got delayed a few months ago.
I think they do a 4-5 year deal with the car manufacturers for each game.What ? How ? Music rights ?
confession, I like Yakuza games but only bother with the main story
nuts that WWZ is EGS 2nd most successful titleFor something that was talked about everywhere, meme'd like crazy, it sort of bombed on EGS. Data from the start of the year, though the game has completely disappeared from the zeitgeist. Though some say the goose is still honking to show Thatcher is dead.
Not sure if that says a lot about WWZ or EGS...
Edit: woah, same post duplicated like 5 times there :/
I've started researching components for a new PC. My current one is 4 years old now, and wasn't exactly top of the line when I built it. I probably won't actually order stuff until the fall as there is no rush, but I'd like to have it ready to use by November. I'm hoping I can avoid buying a few things like a new case, new hard drives, etc.
You should tell us what you have, and preferably post it in the hardware thread
Preferably, everyone by now knows my stance about hard rules
There are ~900 games excluded from the Steam Points Shop, such as Ys SEVEN (community items, yet no shop).

My CPU and GPU are 10°C hotter than usual. I think I need to be careful.
I don't think Phil can do much, so not his fault. I have no doubt that if Phil could have put FH3 and 4 on Steam he would have done it.
Also, if you don't already own FH3, buy it, I know WStore is shit, but the game is so damn good.
OP
I mean, why would he not want to put FH3 and 4 on Steam? Especially 4. Most people probably play 4 via game pass so they will most likely earn more money by releasing it on Steam.
I feel really happy I got FH 1 and 2 before they got delisted (I think they are delisted). The games are so good even the first game feels great to play today.
Steam Controller configs can be accessed directly from the library with one button. Unless you're looking for something else?
Yeah I worded that wrongly, not the configurations themselves but this page to enable/disable the controller support
also that button disappears when the controller support is disabled (duh)

What do you mean by everytime, every PC boot? Does the setting not saved? It should be saved.
every time I want to enable/disable it I have to do that, it would be faster if I had a button which opened the controller settings menu directly on the client (i.e. similar to how we have a BPM button)
I generally keep it disabled as some games tend to behave weirdly when they both support the controller natively and the Playstation Configuration Support is enabled.

i guess they just have no idea how to make the game about Sam Fisher in Open World with microtransactions.
Couldn't they just copy/paste MGSV?
But do we also want current ubi doing something with splinter cell? Do we want them to do anything with beloved older franchises like Rayman or BGE?

News - SteamSpy/PlayTracker: Horizon Zero Dawn sits at 200K-500K/~339K Estimated Owners after 3.5 days of release on STEAM
What is Steamspy? As per the ABOUT page, here's what it says.. Steam Spy is Steam stats service based on Web API provided by Valve and cool idea of Kyle Orland from Ars Technica. Steam Spy automatically gathers data from Steam user profiles, analyzes it and presents in simple, yet beautiful...

I'm not sure they made the game their champion, instead of simply covering a game they felt had wide appeal and could reach a new audience. Most people already have in their mind what THEY think gaming is and often its completely incorrect. More so, we can't send them over to RPS to educate them, they don't read 'gamer' media. So press coverage for a game like this, showing the very real diversity of gaming in a world were stupid Bethesda and COD television ads run on every NFL game, is excellent.
Gaming doesn't need to be defended.
I don't defend Gaming, you are projecting too much into what I said.
I rolled my eyes at the mainstream media gushing about a forgettable game. Nothing more and nothing less.
Basically this:
When you imply that 'outsiders' are dictating what gaming 'should be', sounds a little like gaming is something, not under attack per se, but erasure.I don't defend Gaming, you are projecting too much into what I said.
I rolled my eyes at the mainstream media gushing about a forgettable game. Nothing more and nothing less.
Basically this:
But whatever. Hate that attitude and I've clashed with people here hard over it before.
Gaming is for everyone.
Or someone played that goose game because it looked weird, they had fun with it, and since they work in a news paper, they wrote a story about it. That's not "artificial hype", that's about as natural as it gets. Don't see there being a big media campaign with a tiny indie game, which is what it looks like to me.I don't defend Gaming, you are projecting too much into what I said.
I rolled my eyes at the mainstream media gushing about a forgettable game. Nothing more and nothing less.
Basically this:
You are still projecting. Where did I say what gaming should be? I play niche-ass niche games that even people on this board rarely heard about.
I never said they are not allowed to play a game. I found the gushing of it cringe-worthy.
I can roll my eyes at anyone I want to, Mainstream media doesn't need to be defended by you. right back to you
OP
I don't care much about the talk of projection and attempting to dismiss an argument this way, I think the same point could be made without.
That being said I agree that I also got the feeling Goose Game was being singularly pushed by the media with a popularity that didn't seem reflected in the gaming population. Not that I mind overly much what the media does after the way they've shown their ass with the EGS.
I'm with everyone saying that gaming is for everyone and covers wonderfully broad horizons, from Caves of Qud to Call of Duty.

Oh, that reminds me: what do these checkboxes do exactly? I don't know if I should have them checked or unchecked.Yeah I worded that wrongly, not the configurations themselves but this page to enable/disable the controller support
