Fuck off with your cash grabbing "remaster" Crytek. Modders did a far better job with enhancing Cryisis.
Cant imagine this staying online very long with offering a playable version of Quake given the re-release.

What's happening? It's €59.99 instead of Microsofts usual €69.99. Is this an error or has Microsoft finally figured out that pc gamers won't pay €70 for a game?
I would be extremely happy if this becomes the norm from now on.

A great thread on game guides and aesthethics.
Who was it here who said that Tales of Arise was coming to Game Pass at launch? could still happen, but there isn’t much time left for MS to announce it and Gamescom would have made a lot of sense as the venue. Well, we’ll see
well now youve gone and made it a self fulfilling prophecy havent you
I played it on XSX and it's an okay game. It looks very nice and does have some nice little moments here and there but over all for me at least it's not something that I feel is a must play. The main thing it had going are it's visuals that do look very nice.
King's Bounty II seems to be a turd of a PC port. Reviews are "mostly negative" on Steam. Controls and UI not designed for PC seems to be a major complaint. Sad that they followed up a PC centric wierd little gem of game with this ...
Anyone getting card drops using Idle Master? Been at if for a while now with a bunch of games but nothing since a couple of days ago.
edit: Deleted C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\IdleMaster which resets the whole thing and apparently it was showing and still idling games that had no card drops left.

That controller looks like it's filled with old pee
Started playing Psychonauts 2, and just the prologue/tutorial is already
Same great writing, but the controls feel actually much refined, there's actual wall jumping and the combat so far feels far more interesting (and challenging) then the first one.

It's a little strange seeing the Psychonauts 2 art style with good graphics, but so far I really like it.
Unfortunately I'm getting those little caching stutters. Don't know if it's specific to the Windows store version or not.
The right thing to do here would be to wait for more info and maybe a patch..... but I'm probably not going to do that

Is that employee okay? I hope he got that valve out of his eye socket
It happens on the steam version as well. The usual UE4 loading/streaming stutter I think.It's a little strange seeing the Psychonauts 2 art style with good graphics, but so far I really like it.

Kinda weird the default settings put the resolution scaling to 65 though.
Scarlet Nexus demo finally released on steam. Played the tutorial and it was pretty cool. Definitely pick it up in the future.
I beat Lost Heroes 2, 10/10 - More Kamen Rider blobbers please Bandai
Also here is the game summed up in one image:

Open your mind. Open your eyes.Valve Mr. Valve, also known as The Valve Guy, is the nickname used for the two mascots used by Valve for the introductory logos seen at the start of their games, and previously on their official website. Valve's Ray Ueno stated he worked with Gabe Newell and their...

Both Crytek and Epic are working with military and governments. And it was known for decade that Unity is working with military. It is just strange that suddenly it's news and issue. Looking at how much Epic is earning from Unreal it is not strange that they are looking for those military contracts.Unity is working for the military nowadays

Also Psychonauts 2 looks great from what I saw in videos and screenshots but I still think that game would benefit a lot from RayTracing. Especially from RTGI because to me game lacks a bit of depth due to weak AO and shadows. Most places that should be dark because they are in shadow are not if you know what I mean.
This screenshot is kinda perfect example
Watching PSY2 and some of the dialogue is actually funny.
Started playing Psychonauts 2 and looooooving it! But one thing that already is driving me crazy is that its to linear! Im a collectionist and any game that progresses you through a level without the ability to go back to get missed collectibles sucks money balls.
I thought Psychonauts 2 would be available at 10 am PST like most Steam games used to be. And you are all telling me that it was a midnight release!
Edit: It should be longer than I expected. Currently in the 13h-20h range on HLTB.

Hm, nice to have, but I'll keep playing on GamePass just like I did with 4. Still haven't bought any of the DLC. I need to buy a big SSD to keep playing all these Forza games at the same time.... lol

Nice long 4 day weekend coming up for me. So I think it will be spent playing FFXIV, need to practice those Nier raids. Also may finally get around to playing the original Psychonauts.
Our sit around doing nothing all 4 days.
One or the other.

I’m replaying dqxi (definitive edition this time) and the QOL updates, especially the faster combat, are nice
the fact that they decoupled costumes from equipment is also a nice

Who’s with me in the ‘I can’t play Psychonauts 2 cause I haven’t played 1 yet’
Please return your gamer card to the nearest authority.
I am but in the "i have never finished Psychonauts" way
You must get on that, one of my best games. Number 2 is very much a continuation.
Not so spoil anything, but given that the first game had a way to revisit levels after you finished them, as well as a way to teleport within them to different stages, it would be strange if they didn't feature this here too. Maybe the teleport within the same level is only unlocked after you finish it?
You're all in for a treat. I recommend everyone to check out the PCGamingWiki site for the first game: Psychonauts - PCGamingWiki PCGW - bugs, fixes, crashes, mods, guides and improvements for every PC game
There's some mods to have it work better with 16:9 resolutions, as the UI is hardcoded for 4:3 ratio and will look stretched without the fan mod. You can also have it play at over 60 FPS (up to 120 FPS) if your monitor support it.
Ah yeah you might be right, I hope so. Cant remember how it was in the first one and Im still on the first level in 2.
Project Mikhail's concept is interesting but the gameplay looks average. I am looking forward to the story though.

I started Control yesterday and lessons were learnt ! Fears were felt, too. What a ride
Fears because with the game at max + dlss, I'm... not in awe. It certainly looks good, yeah, but not always. I keep wondering if I didn't miss something in the configuration. Lessons because, while I'm enjoying the game for what it is, I learnt for the umpteenth time that no amount of shiny can make a good game on its own. It's... average.
This shit has good action but the rest, meh. Awful lot of documents to read when quantity never equaled quality, some strange gacha mechanics for mods, randomly generated sub-missions... a lot of bad seems placated on the good action game, as if it would make it something else than a good action game with random shit placated on it.
Kudos for the 3rd mission,
You must have to work hard to make a more mundane goal in a video game.

fix the generator and the coolant system
Hard disagree. I really fell in love with the games setting, and the background lore in the documents you pickup felt very well done to me. Highly subjective, of course, and I can see how if you are not interested in the setting, the oldest house and the secret agency thing to much, how it could be fairly boring.I started Control yesterday and lessons were learnt !

I also really liked the simple look of the oldest house and it's brutalist architecture, combined with the very old fashioned look and feel of everything. A bit of a side note, but the recent MCU show Loki also really reminds of that with the TVA.
I will say that it took a while for me to get into the game's combat, as it really only shines when you have all the combat abilities available.
I'm not saying that the documents are all bad, just that there is padding for the sake of it. Off the top of my head, I was graced with expenses reports, poker game rsvp, the ID card of a manager, etc. Sure, when they are about lore elements like Dead Letters, they are interesting.
I guess it depends on how you treat them too, as I'm the type to open them asap to know what I found, and as there are a metric ton of document, it constantly stop my progression.
