[kafiend]

Many thanks for the thread Mor

Not much for me this month, but as always, I'll end up buying more than I play.

 

[FunnyJay]

During the sale, I upgraded my 2015 copy of Pillars of Eternity to the Definitive Edition, and have started to play it from the beginning with a new character.
Back in 2015, I made it to Defiance Bay before something shinier stole my interest.
Now I've made it further, and I'm currently in the Sanatorium, having helped Aloth with his "affliction". The game is really great, and I'm playing on Story difficulty, since I've never really come to terms with RtWP gameplay, but I still love the stories that these types of RPGs can tell.

(I also picked up PoE2 and Tyranny during the sale, so I've got a lot of game ahead)

 

[Aaron D.]

Will start a new position without customer contact in 10 days. Yay! I hate people!

Checks out.

In other news, I refunded The End of Dyeus. Performance was just too framey for my aging 1080, sigh.

 

[Dragon1893]

Fast X is being shot where I live. Not a big fan of those movies but seeing roads I use every day in a blockbuster movie should be cool.
Whatever happened to that game they announced? It looked terrible.

 

[Tomasety]

Today's rumourology regarding next Choice has it that instead of Mass Effect Andromeda we could get Deep Rock Galactic according to rebus hints.

I'm not sure why Coffee Stain would be willing to bundle the game since it's doing extremely well according to devs. 4m units has been sold since early access and the game is very much alive as they stated.

 

[Aaron D.]

Got my eye on B&B for July.

Relaxing mgmt sounds just fine and the presentation really pops.

 

[prudis]

haul No. 4

i should probably stop now :-D

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Umurangi Generation and its DLC are incredible

Perhaps to push it to new customers before dropping a new paid update with new content.

 

[Kal1m3r0]

Since no TTR announcement or P5 in summer I might as well buy some other things on sale

 

[gabbo]

Glad to see Stray is finally releasing. Need a game to play with my cats

 

[「Echo」]

thanks for the new thread Mor . Summer is kicking into high-gear now for us Northern hemisphere folks, make sure y'all stay cool and clean out your PC's so they can make it too! For the Southern hemi bros, stay warm!

Plenty of things to buy but no money to spare, so it'll be a backlog and wishlist month for me.

I just love when my definitive edition of a game becomes the non-definitive version because exclusivity pandering between corpos.

 

[CommodoreKong]

meanwhile at Denuvo

Denuvo SecureDLC Announced - Blue's News Story

I would imagine most F2p games have server side checks to ensure you own the content you've downloaded?

[Le Pertti]

Is bugsnax any good? I completely write it off because it looked so weird.

I'd be fine with it, if Yoko Taro would create an official update on the Steam version to claim that the PC version is shit now and everyone should the switch one so he can buy himself a life sized golden statue of 2B .

Will this mean we will finally see famous PS3 Cellius projects? It's 2022 and I still refuse to accept those were fake (/s)

I initially read this as F-Zero X being shot where you live and I'm like uhhh .. I've really missed some announcements

 

[fantomena]

MH Rise just exceeded 200k ccu and I have yet to install it

 

[Tomasety]

Another possible glitch this time on GMG

Dead by Daylight - Silent Hill Edition - ??% - €6.99

I think it doesn't work in America according to my teacher's people so it must be a regional price mistake in EU at least.

You might save additional money if you have at least Bronze Tier XP membership (starts at 10% extra off) on your GMG account.

In context, GMG is offering this Steam bundle if I'm not wrong

Sniff there was another, Megadimension Neptunia VIIR - Complete Deluxe Set for 0.79€ but that one got fixed so I expect the rest to get fixed really fast as well.

MH Rise just exceeded 200k ccu and I have yet to install it

I didn't think it would reach 200k until Sunday afternoon. I'm happy to be wrong. Capcom will likely issue a press release for first week sales. Iceborne did 2.5 million on just PS and Xbox in one week. I don't know if Sunbreak can beat that, but it could be in the 1.75-2.25 million range when including Switch sales.

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

Great thread as always

Also nice to see that I'm featured in the OP! Stray will be the greatest game ever released, MARK MY WORDS.


MARK THEM. NOW.

That looks so full of awesomesauce and right up my alley thanks buddy

[jads653]

Well well my government has finally woken up. The government parties want to finally ban loot boxes in the Netherlands. Crossing fingers that it might have impact on an European scale down the road.

 

[tetel]

Is bugsnax any good? I completely write it off because it looked so weird.

I bought it on Steam launch and played it for almost 20 hours in like 3 days so I think so. It's nothing spectacular but I enjoyed most of the writing and figuring out how to catch some of the bugs/solve puzzles - it isn't exactly hard or complex but it's engaging enough when it comes to both thinking and execution that it doesn't end up frustrating like, I don't know, puzzles in Rime (where you know the solution 2 seconds into the puzzle but still need to push some shit very slowly for 20 seconds). Also loved the body horror.

Probably worth skipping some of the new content though - the new DLC is fine but the quests to get the decorations for your house quickly become tedious and there's like hundred of them and I did them all and it wasn't a good experience lol.

 

[Dinjoralo]

New month, new thread. Hoorah.

 

[Digoman]

Trying to get back into gaming after a "timeout" period caused by some health issues (f*ck you tinnitus).

Thank you very much for the thread Mor .

Stray looks interesting but I'm a dog person... but at least the regional price is somewhat decent.

Which is not the case for As Dusk Falls. Going to have to use Gamepass to try that one, assuming of course the Xbox app let me - it was refusing to run any newly installed game until I tried to install the Turles game on another drive, and then it started working again.

And I see the Anime is still going strong over here

Announced earlier this week as part of the game's 10.0.2 patch notes, enabling DLSS does bring some welcome frame rate improvements to proceedings, but it also, err... has the rather unexpected side effect of shaving off everyone's hair / fur. And in a game about felling all manner of feathery, scaly lizard animals, that's not exactly ideal.

In the Reddit post's replies, another user mentions that Rise's fur rendering seems to come from the game's TAA anti-aliasing setting and, with DLSS replacing TAA when it's enabled, that unfortunately means it nixes all the hair effects in the proces.

I saved those scans when they were new and still look at them from time to time.

My steam sale haul

And some cheap stuff.

Ghostwire was $2 cheaper in Gamersgate for my region, a rarity, so I bought it there.

Haven't got the chance to play any of them until tomorrow though.

AnimeExpo starts today in LA. Just thought the anime thread might like to know and be on the lookout for announcements.

Lots of weeb publishers are there, I suspect most of the announcements will be visual novels.

 

[Stevey]

Thanks again Mor

Hope Stray is good

 

[lashman]

HEY EVERYONE!!!

jump in for a chill stream

The day has finally come! A double dose of Sunbreak and Cuphead DLC!

In about 15 minutes we're going to start things off with some Cuphead and switch things up to Sunbreak about half way through. I'm fully expecting to get my butt kicked in Cuphead.. less so in Sunbreak but I'm sure it'll still happen.


Oh! And I'll be updating the thread with July's co-op games later tonight so be on the lookout for that too.

F1 22 so far very good on my PC.

 

[kio]

Cheers Mor, thank you for your work.

Once again the sanctity of the steam thread has been tainted by anime... We'll have to try again next month, I know we can be better than this.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Gotta get that Mori figure

 

[「Echo」]

Gotta get that Mori figure

Figmas are coming too apparently. I'm in for Ina.
