Well i guess that spending big chunk of money i mentioned in las thread was delayed for next week XD

 

[Arc]

Lashman posting anime? Is this some kind of fever dream?

 

[C-Dub]

Wait, that FF Souls game is also EGS exclusive?

Bullshit.

I tried the demo on PS5 and it was bad anyway, so no big loss.

Still, another Nomura game signed with Eggs.

Maybe Tim Epic explain to Nomura how Steam is this bad monopoly, and so far there was nothing anyone could do to defeat it. And Nomura just answered

"Bullshit" playing edgy limp bizkit song and walks out

And from that moment he decided that every game of his should release as an EGS exclusive on PC, fighting against the Chaos that is Steam's overwhelming market share.

I wonder why they didn't do a Ryza 3. Did the second one underperform ? Especially surprising given the (tired ?) narrative obsession with three acts, and also because for several years, this series was the poster child for trilogies.

Nah, the 2nd one did pretty well, I'm guessing they're just taking a break by going back to an older series before doing a 3rd game, or they're just taking more time making the 3rd game while working on Sophie 2 at the same time.

 

[sanhora]

China gonna China.

 

[Deku]

China gonna China.

Did Hololive girls insult China too?
It scary that China controls most of the things nowadays, and it's not even CCP

 

[bobnowhere]

More of a review nerf gun

 

[ezodagrom]

Did Hololive girls insult China too?
It scary that China controls pretty much everything nowadays, and it's not even CCP

Kson, the streamer affected by the Playism mess, was formerly a Hololive member.
When the incident happened that "insulted" China, it happened when she was still a Hololive member.

So because of her being a former hololive member, this will affect everyone?

 

[ezodagrom]

That's just how petty the chinese antis are.

This is Gust we're talking about, they churn 2-3 Ateliers per year.
Ryza 3 is also coming, don't worry.

 

[Wok]

There is a bunch of demos (out of the ~750 demos of the festival) which I have bookmarked.

An indie Peggle:

A card game in the universe of Gremlins:

StoryTeller, for those who missed it the first time:

Storyteller - Steam Next Fest October 2021 - Demo Update - Steam News

The Storyteller demo is back for another run as part of Steam's October 2021 Next Fest. Player-suggested changes, other improvements, and MacOS support have now been implemented.

Well me spending big chunk of money was supposed to be me purchasing new monitor. But i just got informed that it didn't arrived in country (it was meant to be delivered to me today) and that it won't be here until mid October at earliest. So yeah i know it is not end of the world and that some of you have bigger issues but this was meant to be purchase to reward myself for some hard work and some hard life moments in past few months so i was looking to play some games on it over the weekend.

Oh well, my bad luck with tech continues so i really should have seen this coming XD

 

[fspm]

It's a bunch of measures that Windows implemented to make it harder for malware to take over your PC.
...
and it seems with Windows 11 it's enabled on OEM devices by default.

You can also turn it off via a registry option, so as long as MIcrosoft doesn't make mandatory, it's not such a big deal, as long you keep in mind to disable it on new Windows 10 devices.

Does it protect your pc from windows though? The biggest malware of them all.

About on by default; when volvo was forced to set steam profiles to private by default - steamspy wankers went out of business.

PACK IT UP, FELLAS, KOEI TECMO NOW IN BED WITH EGS AFTER SOULS FF WAS CONFIRMED AS SUCH

oh wait...

They put up preorders for Fatal Frame and Blue Reflection Second Light on Steam the same day Square announced FF Origins for EGS lol

 

[NarohDethan]

PACK IT UP, FELLAS, KOEI TECMO NOW IN BED WITH EGS AFTER SOULS FF WAS CONFIRMED AS SUCH

oh wait...

Interesting how (almost) everything from KT goes to Xbox, except Atelier.

 

[Parsnip]

I'm never going to catch up on Atelier at this rate.

 

[NarohDethan]

I'm never going to catch up on Atelier at this rate.

It’s like trying to catch up on Dynasty Warriors. You buy the new one, enjoyed a lot, and then nerds scream at you how the ones on PS2 and one obscure Japan only release for Xbox 360 are better.

 

[Joe Spangle]

I'm hooked on Medieval Dynasty. Its really grindy. I've basically been picking up sticks all day.

 

[Mor]

Yup haha

KT's has been very active on Steam and that won't change

 

[beep boop]

Free expansion for Death's Gambit is live:


A great reason to play this excellent metroidvania again!

I'm having a really good time playing this. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you own it already! It's not perfect, but it has a lot of good ideas and brings a RPG flavor to the genre that I quite like.

Sophie 2 storepage is out

 

[dex3108]

Company goes, invests tons of money to build platform, Tim Sweeney XD

30% = toll booth
12% = actual innovation

 

[madjoki]

30% = toll booth

Expect if it is closed gaming platform (excluding iPhone).

 

[fantomena]

Apple builds and innovate with their own ecosystem - Epic complains.
Valve build and innovate with their own ecosystem and the Deck is gonna be a big milestone for that - I expect Tim to complain in a few years.

Epic is simply late to the party. Both with their ecosystem and with their storefront. Not Valve's or Apple's fault they started to build and innovate sooner than Epic.

Sorta weird that I defend Apple here. I don't care for Apple, don't own an Apple device, but that's just because, again, I don't care for them. But they did build their systems and they started early with that, same as with Valve with Steam. Epic is just late and that makes Tim jealous.

 

[dex3108]

We can talk about Apple policies as much s we can but we can't deny that AppStore was first successful mobile app store.

as much as we can't complain that one of the first successful countries started out with stupid people with bad teeth who can't say one word without their pretentious accent

idk are scottish people the ones who cant say purple burglar alarm or was it the irish
no difference between them ngl

joke

 

[Joe Spangle]

Credits rolling on Desperados III. what a great game. I got it at launch but got stuck on a level and moved on. Recently picked it back up to finish it off. If you like stealth strategy these games (Shadow tactics and this) are terrific. Great controller support too.

 

[gabbo]

please tell me there is a demo for this?

 

[Joe Spangle]

please tell me there is a demo for this?

OMG. Creepy train spider?

 

[Mivey]

Yeah, must be quite horrible for people who have both siderodromophobia and arachnophobia.

Ok I’m just offended now

 

[ezodagrom]

 

[mastemas]

Ok I’m just offended now

no really i have no clue
one of them cant say purple burglar alarm and the other one is known for drinking a lot, maybe one of them has both or something, i just don't know the difference
at least the british people have a stupid accent that sounded "refinded and upperclass" but now sounds obnoxious when people go like "oy mate got a ciggy"

 

[AHA-Lambda]

First I’ve heard of this purple burglar alarm thing but I can certainly confirm that both of us really like to drink

the accent you’re talking about though is more characteristic of northern English though

dont all english people go like "oy guvenor nice chewday today innit" and then talk about how bad the weather is as they face another day of sailing into the atlantic ocean, away from the EU

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Toree 2 100% completed!

If you played the first game it will feel familiar, though some levels felt harder to get a S rank compared to the first game.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Again more so northern England I’d reckon

doesnt change the fact that the entire island is floating away from the EUR mainland as we speak
it's only a matter of time before the UK becomes a secondary iceland without volcanos

I guess that answers the question : it was fake.
