He's a complete and utter shitlord. Unfortunate, because I really kind of want one of those Displate's, being the reformed seaman I am and all that - it would be a fun bit of art. I can always just get it printed locally, I know others have gotten NFO's printed as posters.
Warez groups' ASCII art is awesome.

The reports are true and borderless won't let me go to 4k because ... I can't change it! Gotta stick to fullscreen.There are reports that the resolution option can't be changed when using borderless or fullscreen mode.
Sounds like an iffy port, alright.

Makes me happy seeing Shenmue 3 bomb, I'm petty like that and I'm a huge shenmue fan!
I wouldn't say I'm "happy" it bombed (we still don't actually know the extent of how well it did, the article from earlier is from an analyst that doesn't have all of the hard data available - it's probably in the ballpark though), but I'm not exactly pouring one out for it either. They treated their backers pretty shittily which is a cardinal sin for me personally when it comes to such things so while I'm not happy, I do consider it to be a little bit of cosmic justice. Still would've preferred it do gangbusters while not screwing over backers and customers though.
Happy Valentine everyone! Love you all! 
I felt a spark of joy while reading this as well. Deep Silver really betrayed Shenmue 3's backers by selling them to Epic. In combination with pulling Metro Exodus from Steam right before release AND telling GI.biz that they believe these actions are perfectly fine and they would do them again in the future, gives them a well deserved spot on top of my blacklist. F*ck deep Silver, really.
Reminder that Shenmue 3 PC backers still haven't got their physical disc. Yes that physical disc with EGS code on paper.

Almost certainly but I highly doubt it would've done a huge amount. Shenmue is just not a blockbuster franchise, it was always going to struggle to catch on with people not already invested which itself is a niche of a niche.
Hoping Sakura Wars comes to PC. But honestly I'm not sure. SEGA is kinda weird about how they handle this stuff, like despite now owning Atlus they can't seem to materialize the ports? And when they do come, we get the old depreciated versions like regular Catherine when Full Body exists.
I appreciate you posting this. Never woulda known otherwise.

Fortunately Sakura Wars isn't an Atlus game, that makes it way more easier to appear on PC in the next few months/1 Year. in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened like VC4 and the PC version gets stealth announced a bit later alongside a few other ports a la "the best of japan v.2"
The game would probably sell more, but if the game is bad from start then it is still bad
Speaking of SEGA, where is the Judgment port? I was sure it would be out fairly quickly after how Kiwami 2 went, but it's MIA.
132 days left to end the "exclusivity" year. And this is why I think there will be a second "the best of japan" video, they will probably do a reel and release some games at a regular basis, so they can cover most of the year (probably like 5 games in 2020 and thats a lot)
We will see, I can see Yakuza games, Judgement, Sakura Wars and Persona 5 vanilla announced for 2020-q1 2021
That's correct, but they have just released even more today, check them out
Tried the West of Dead beta. The stylish western twin stick shooter announced a while back (wasn't it during an Xbox show ?)
It's a rogue-lite, meh.
First contact is not good, but once you get accustomed to the way the game plays, it's ok.
Not really interested but it's a start I guess.

Aerial Combat games, DIY electronics, and Questionable Humour
This is my attempt to post stuff that I consider relevant, besides short bursts in Twitter. Turns out that my love to aerial sci-fi combat games, that started in 90-ies won't go away anytime soon, and DIY electronics is also my addiction for life, I guess. Other topics may catch my attention too.

Jason Scott has done some great documentaries and this is from "Baud: The BBS Documentary" - Episode 4: ArtsceneWarez groups' ASCII art is awesome.

Oh, found this one now. I'll have to watch this later.

Lol, another failed GAAS on its way. Hopefully Timmy's chequebook can cover the loss.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me if they're just waiting for the Steam version to release so they can row back on the whole EGS bullshit.
But knowing Deep Silver/YsNet, the Steam version will release and they will still send backers an EGS coaster.
The Steam version of Shenmue 3 will release with an EGS account requirement.
I know you are joking, but any multiplayer game who gonna do crossplay between EGS and Steam like Borderlands 3 probably will.
lol, yeah. Video games are hard, no one knows anything which is kind of fun in its own terrifying way. I'm still very much an advocate for demo's though but I know from dev friends that they can be a lot of work for not always much benefit.lol that thread from this tweet is fascinating
On the other hand thanks for bringing this game to my attention, hadn't heard of it before but it's right up my alley!
I always find it fascinating, that you often see complaints about the Steam algorithms when they see a drop in wishlists or traffic to their store page, when you also hear that several other stores/platforms do not provide this kind of information at all.
So Valve gets a lot of flack for their "algorithm" since they provide metrics that can be used to monitor the situation, but stores that provide few or no metrics at all pretty much doesn't get these kinds of complaints at all....

It looks like they've also identified a workaround which is to release the demo as a separate SKU.
I'm curious if the demo lead to an increase in sales and/or storepage views. In the end that's what matters I guess...
I think with a demo more people are more willing to just try it out, why it didn't lead to more wishlists is probably simply because they didn't like it. So maybe in the end it lead to fewer refunds, since those who weren't sure could just try it and skip it.

Damn that looks so good. So much detail on the ground and concrete textures. I still can't believe they made a 15hr long VR game with those visuals and that world using Source2
I wonder what rig it was captured on. Also what happens if you are playing room scale and get your face real close to some of these objects? Will it get very blurry?
OP
Depend on the demo I guess? If people like the demo then they'll wishlist/buy the game, if they don't then they'll just leave.
OP
people who liked game initially, played demo, don't anymore? Am i oversimplifying what this seems to show?lol that thread from this tweet is fascinating
A headcrab will jump at you, and the ensuing PTSD will keep you from ever trying that again
It's about how the Steam algorithm treats wishlist entries as the only data point, ignoring downloads of a demo. Even if people like it, they might "forget" to wishlist it, I don't know how literate average Steam users are about this and how long their effective attention span is.
