BUT MEDIA PARROTING WHAT TYLER SAID SAYS....

Tyler is an ass that with each year that passes works more with assumptions rather than real info.

For real, now that he expanded into other gaming news I've seen a couple of people I know that work in the industry be like ''that's just not true wtf''

He had his moment but now he just wants to play into the insider-personality stuff a la schreier or grubb but with a fraction of the connections and without any regard for truth.

Exactly, it's really frustrating to see media just spreading this kind of information without investigating the reports, again, I'm aware it's not "their job" to do the insights, but c'mon, if you are reporting rumors at least try to get some verification from your own sources.

Funny thing is that most of this information hurts more than helps, like, for example, his report about VR is completely incorrect, there's internal work for VR and even the website that corroborated Deck said they can corroborate the existence of Deckard kits, heck, there's this twitter/YT user who does an amazing investigation for VR scene in general that has done an stunning job when it comes to deckard.

Sadly, it's not the truth that makes websites and media viable but clicks and engagement, if it's true or not it's completely secondary in this cases.

I have no problem with GOG Galaxy but then i "only" have 300 games in my library and i don't link it to other launchers.
I don't like having my account details in other launchers so i haven't linked Steam to anything else either unless i had to like with EA.
Ubisoft and EA are generally seperate with only Mass Effect Trilogy being cross launcher there.

I guess trading cards were added and bots are having a field day?

 

[Le Pertti]

I was kind of lucky I cashed out my stocks like a week go, they seem to be taking a hit now. So on the other hand now would also be the time to invest !

Weird, I was pretty sure cards weren't added today.
I mean, I "bought" some wallpapers for the game with Steam points a while back (that, I'm sure), and I was under the impression I sold a few cards for it weeks ago.

Interesting idea, here are my picks.
I'm noticing that Steam seems to miss a few that do have Metacritic scores, also there's a surprising amount of games that have console scores but not PC ones - I left them out if I thought they're quite known (i.e Subnautica Below Zero, various Ys games,... ), but there are probably still some of these in the list.

1bitHeart
428 Shibuya Scramble
Anima: Gate of Memories
Hexcells
Higurashi
The House in Fata Morgana
LiEat
Lobotomy Corporation
MO: Astray
One Finger Death Punch
Pharao Rebirth+
Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity
Skautfold: Usurper
Touhou Luna Nights
Umineko
The Vagrant
World End Economica Trilogy
Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament
Gujian 3

Thanks for the share! I'll be picking up Pharaoh Rebirth before the sale ends. Seems right up my alley.
I also realized that I have many of these and haven't even played them...

Some more deep cuts that I remembered about:

Twilight Struggle, an adaptation of the (pricy) board game.
Siralim 1-3, monster collecting turn-based RPGs.
September 1999, a free spooky tone piece thingy.
Love and Love 2: Kuso, top notch platforming.
Mu Cartographer, a genuinely really unique puzzle game!
Zero-K, a free Total Annihilation-like with both SP and MP (yes you read that right!).

Pharaoh Rebirth is awesome.
The developers made Touhou Luna Nights, and Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth- afterwards.

On a side note, fans of metroidvanias really need to check out the Blaster Master Zero series, in particular the first 2 games:

Ah, I didn't connect those two dots. Then I have a lot to look forward to!

I haven't played Blaster Master Zero 2 yet, but the first one is excellent. Had a lot of with it.

Farming Simulator 22 breaks series records with 1.5m sold in first week

How the fuck

 

[Aaron D.]

How the fuck

They're actually good games and a pleasant break from a medium obsessed with urgent Save Teh World!! (tm.) energy (yawn).

 

[Le Pertti]

People been stuck inside so much that being out in the farm doing regular work feels like heaven.

 

[beep boop]

Well, it's not like doing menial or routine stuff in games as a way to unwind is a fresh concept.

Missing the most important* thing, Steam/EGS split.

*not really tho

Is it me, or Deep Silver is sending Chorus out to die?
I haven't seen a single piece of promotion for the game, and it's released in 3 days.

[Sobatronix]

Random Question. GTAV is blocked in my country, is it possible if someone from a country where it's not blocked buy it a gift it to me? I mean I have the EGS version but I'd love to have the Steam version and GTAV steam keys do not exist apparently.

 

[Kyougar]

Yea I would much rather they award a little extra for doing things like winning, double kills, being best on your team, having least deaths etc etc. The little fun competitive things.

At the end of the day its just levels. People want to see progress bar level up so who gives a shit. Make more levels so people level up more frequently for the satisfaction. Make more junk items to give away every time you level up. There is really no fix to battle passes.

New modes/maps/events/weapons are the best thing to look forward to with this game. I really want to see them push this engine and their infrastructure. Give me a larger 24vs24 mode or a battle royale. Give me more fun and clutch team modes other than oddball/ctf.

I don't expect much from everything else.

participation XP means that a higher percentage of players will just afk the rounds. (Dunno if there is an anti-afk method in Halo or not)

 

[Ascheroth]

Great game. Just as a fyi: the game has a single missable item which is right in the prologue - just hit a certain turtle until you get a shell.

 

[「Echo」]

Well, it's not like doing menial or routine stuff in games as a way to unwind is a fresh concept.

"Menial and routine" about sums up my experience with Animal Crossing lol. I think i lasted like 3-4 weeks before getting sick of it. Checkin' in every day and doing the same tasks/routine ended up feeling like work. And at the time I was working 2 jobs, so more "work" is definitely not what i wanted.

For some reason I just don't get along well with simulation/task games these days. But as a kid I loved them... I wonder what changed in my brain after becoming an adult that turned me off them...?

 

[Gintaro]

Out now!

Also this seems interesting, looking forward to it

Yeah, I hope the game doesn't reflect this level of confidence by Deep Silver. They actually didn't even "fix" some really good regional prices for it, which sadly these days tells me the publisher just isn’t paying attention to the game.

 

[「Echo」]

Still no gameplay though. Maybe at TGA?
If no gameplay by E3 2022, I think it might get delayed to 2023 lol.
(Which would probably be for the best considering well... Bethesda bugs...)

Looks like its gonna be the greatest video game ever made.

Anything less is unacceptable.

Good luck Todd

 

[Kiru]

Imagine paying for a game on Steam and not being able to play it anymore because of Epic.

Already confirmed that there won't be gameplay until E3 2022. I don't like these kind of marketing where all is just talk and concept at that can be totally different from game. If you are not ready to show game then be silent until you are.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER ICON tho

Not worth accepting your login if you can't buy mtxn

Yep, lots of games just flop out. Solar Ash is coming to Epic in a couple of days, no one knows, nor cares.

Just another example to not buy games day 1

 

[fantomena]

It's a shame with GOG, I have a library of around 350 or something there, bought some games, but that was many years ago. These days I only buy on Steam due to trust, covnenience, ease of use and quality of life updates. I have GOG Galaxy installed, but haven't used it in at least 6 months.

 

[Joe Spangle]

Yeah i barely use GOG anymore. didnt really have a lot of games on there anyway but found it good for the older games from my younger days that i wanted to see again.

Woah, the rain actually looks so much better, mostly because of that fog effect.

I use GOG like most people use EGS (which I'll never install).

To redeem free games that I'll never play.

I had the same thing with AC, but for a good long time it also hit the spot just right do my routine in there on a daily basis. I used to leave watering my plants for last, which is a total bore but helped me relax a little before bed

With AC it's at least not as pressing to do your tasks, whereas in a game like Destiny 2 or Genshin the aggressive timed events really did feel like I was often not so much choosing to play the game but felt almost obliged to.

Great game. Just as a fyi: the game has a single missable item which is right in the prologue - just hit a certain turtle until you get a shell.

Thanks. That would've really bugged me if I missed it!

Why the sudden GOG talk? Did something happen?

 

[Hektor]

Buying videogames is out, we buy videogame companies now

Can't wait for Ubisoft to return to steam

 

[curi0usBystander]

Why the sudden GOG talk? Did something happen?

GOG is losing money and refocusing on ‘handpicked selection of games’

“Its performance does present a challenge.”

I just sold all my stocks in Intel and Atari.

 

[bobnowhere]

I reckon I've bought 1 game on origin and 1 or 2 origin keys, 0 games on Ubisoft and 1 outside key, 1 game on gog, 0 games on the rockstar thingy, 1 bethesda key and 0 epic anything.

 

[Hektor]

I just sold all my stocks in Intel and Atari.

At a profit hopefully

 

[Le Pertti]

Sadly no, but not a big loss mostly just the fees. But I did it just before the dip the stock market took with the news of the new Covid strain so the timing was good.
Thought I would invest that money in myself instead. But I still intend to return to investing soon! We should have a investing thread!

Investing in 10k new steam games is the best option right now. Steam's breaking new records etc.

I actually ended up beign some GME too cuz of the dip lol.
Everything went down except for Biontech/MRNA shares, those increased by +50%


Too bad i didnt buy them

 

[Arc]

I just learned premium currency in Halo Infinite is 10% more expensive on Steam than Xbox. I guess Microsoft is accounting for Valve's commission and is slightly bumping up Steam's prices.
