Steam wins by merely existing yet again
And I will be buying AC Shadows on Steam day 1. Funny how that works.
lol
lmao even
Lol they must be hurting pretty bad if they're doing day 1 Steam on the one game that everyone has been begging them to make for over a decade.
Cool that Star Wars Outlaws will be coming soon. I'll probably play that one at some point.

Ubi financials must be in the dirt
Outlaws not performing well must be a problem for them as that game looks very big budget.
And Shadows looks like a AAAA game as well. They need these types of games to sell 10+ million
I wonder just how much money they lost with this stupid EGS stunt for the past 5 years.

I am assuming that cocaine finally ran out in Ubi's offices.
Forget the AAA titles, I wonder how much better The Lost Crown alone would have sold as a day 1 Steam release.
Not surprised but Metaphor doesnt support ultrawide
Ubisoft got what they deserved imo. Glad to see them returning to Steam, but I won't buy any of their games requiring Ubisoft Connect and/or mandatory online login. Losing hours of gameplay in PoP really turned me off last month.
Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.

Sales of Star Wars and Avatar must of been a disaster for Ubisoft's board to launch an investigation.
Very good news about ubi, so glad that Outlaws comes so soon to steam so more can play it. It's way too underrated. It is at the moment GOTY for me, that or Banishers, I have to reflect a bit.
Yeah all right, Avatar and Outlaws 100% hyper bombed and they can't risk it again with AC of all their series. I mean has anyone ever tried to use Connect at all in the last year? I sure did and let me tell you I can positively say after using it I will never pay more than a -75% sale on any Ubi game, ever
Oh, sorry, what I was meant to post was
This can't be happening! Why did Ubisoft cave to those Steam nazi crybabies! It's a cospiracy just like that unlawful mod that let users skip the PSN logins! Don't they see Gaben is an evil capitalist and his 30 yatch are starving poor developers? Sony please you must save us from the Steam monopoly with your own launcher! @President, @FBI, @CIA, someone stop them!
I finally did it!
Got this one! Seems pretty cool.
Got this one! Seems pretty cool.
Ubisoft coming back to Steam with day 1 releases surprisingly wasn't on my bingo card, expected it to take longer.

Yeah, I would've figured that ~6 months late Steam releases would be the way forward for them. It seemed like a fairly reasonable way to have their cake and eat it too. I think their Star Wars and Avatar games both underperforming really fucked them up. And considering the news about AC Shadows coming to Steam day 1, I wouldn't be surprised if pre-orders for that weren't too hot either.
What's funny is Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar are basically their only recent big games that I have any interest in.
Ok Ubi... give me Splinter Cell, Rayman and Settlers and then we'll talk

PsiloSybil - New Level: Ground Meat -- Final Update! - Steam News
After a long wait, PsiloSybil is over. Update 1.0.1 ships with the last new level (total 25) and many QoL improvements. Official final release will ensue soon.
PsiloSybil final content update. Announcement of end of Early Access coming soon. Developer has cancer and will be focusing on that. Hopefully they'll pull through.
Remember this?
It's kind of amazing that all these greedy chucklefucks have never figured out why the Steam platform dominates their third rate launchers. It's because Valve is a PC gaming company. More importantly, Valve never stopped being a PC gaming company. Valve has spent the last 20 years making PC gaming better and as a result they built up a platform that is so incredibly sticky that these other companies have no hope of ever surpassing it. And on top of that the hubris of thinking that their output is so great that every PC gamer will bend over backwards to get to play their games and that whole idea just went up in flames.
I'm guessing Ubi is in a really bad position for them to have to do this. Avatar and Outlaws are almost certainly bombas and AC pre-orders must have been in the toilet with all the controversy they managed to stir up.
Hello Ubisoft. Shall we have a chat about unrealistic business models then, you goddamn clowns?

Was Lunar the game where you could go into a dungeoncrawl midgame and start at level 1 again without any gear and permadeath (for the dungeon)? It may have been the first roguelite
Never finished the games, but always remember trying to get further into the dungeon again.
there's a joke in there somewhere about a guy called Mr. Early saying that last sentence
Metaphor runs and looks like shit on the Deck. What a fucking disappointment.
I looked him up on LinkedIn and he's now senior vice president of clownfuckery at ubisoft. So he's failing upwards. Can't imagine why this company is in trouble with executives like him running things
My friend who is reviewing the game on deck told me it supersamples the image if you increase the settings. Try turning the render resolution down to 100% and see if that helps.
I'm currently playing it and in certain areas it jumps all over the place.
I need to test it on my desktop (but for what i've read it will also jump all over the place,less badly but still the same)
E: The first dungeon is mostly fine (still jumps but not as bad as in the city), and fights are fine. I've tried the ingame Limiter but it's a mess, locking in it with the Deck framelimiter seems more stable. I will try tomorrow with my pc and we'll see if it jumps a lot or not.

It's cool, but hopefully Ubi will support steam achievements for the all the future titles.
A lot of drops in the big city, but without utilising the hardware fully. Maybe Proton patches can help there, similar to Persona 3. It can hit 30 in a lot of indoor scenes
Metaphor demo, apparently the game is only using one CPU core, but there's a workaround to fix it at least on desktop:

Bloober Team spodziewa się kolejnych rozliczeń z Konami za kamienie milowe
Bloober Team spodziewa się kolejnych rozliczeń z Konami za kamienie milowe. Liczy, że gra Silent Hill 2 nie będzie końcem współpracy z japońskim producentem i wydawcą gier komputerowych - poinformowali przedstawiciele Bloober Team na konferencji.
It looks like Konami wasn't really focused on bringing Silent Hill 2 to Steam, but Bloober Team talked them into it.
Because the PS5 exclusivity deals were so successful for the publishers involved...Bloober Team spodziewa się kolejnych rozliczeń z Konami za kamienie milowe

I'm sure Konami is super happy about Castlevania Requiem being stuck on PS4 with Sony's proprietary emulator too.
And the thing is, I'm sure that they genuinely are happy and that no one involved in selling their IPs left and right to devs have any idea about any of it. Just another stone to the "capitalists don't understand capitalism" monument.
Good to see Metaphor sabotaging itself. Maybe with a miracle they'll fix the issues in the demo and all will go well, or all too likely they won't and the game will crash and burn.
Escape from Tarkov associated with anime? Time to uninstall. Shame, I was really liking Tarkov.
Yeah, it is kinda impressive how bad the port is. There's scenes where it barely hits above 60, on a 4090 and 7800X3D, while using less than 50% of either CPU or GPU.Good to see Metaphor sabotaging itself.

It's not a demo in the regular sense, that is very likely the same build for the full size of the game. You just get to play the first 5 hours or so early, and get to carry that over into the full game.

"Install: 58.71GB"
"Nope"
Also nice to see that Ubisoft releases their games on Steam on day 1. Instead of alienating a huge proportion of their audience, they finally understand that their huge AAA games need every single one of their potential customers.

That whole bloober Silent Hill thing just enforces the notion that someone needs to talk to Vanillaware about what a computer is and that you can play games on it and people purchase games with money
