Community MetaSteam | November 2019 - You Can't Spell Steam Without EA

[Eferis]

Wouldn't a Quest be a better investment since it is standalone and can now be connected to a PC?

I read some impressions online saying that right now it might be better to wait and see how good the software is compared to the Rift S, which was made specifically for PC. I also like the slightly higher refresh rate on the Rift S (even if at a lower resolution).

 

[Joe Spangle]

And Valve just drops a long trailer showcasing a next ---> next gen version of City 17 basically lol. People will be dissecting and rewatching this trailer for months now.

I love how Volvo seem to just do their own thing and differ from most/all the other big game firms.

 

[curi0usBystander]

I'd like to try VR, but the fact I get motion sick (althought over time i've kind of figured out wha affects me and what doesn't) has always made me hesitant to buy one and I don't know any place where I could test a headset.

It seems like there's some compression on the Quest, but I haven't seen anything I would call an in-depth technical review/comparison.

 

[Mor]

I kinda compare Valve to Rockstar in terms of how they announce things.

Both usually tweet something "X day we will show a trailer" then that day they upload a trailer + store pages and that's it, millions of interactions, internet completely crazy about the announcement and crazy numbers for all the things (trailers, pre-orders, etc...)

4 million views in less than 24 hours? hell, it might be 6 million in a few hours.

 

[Joe Spangle]

Having been thoroughly swept up in the hype Im going to play through HL again. I have Black Mesa so i guess ill start with that. I'd have thought that they would be trying really hard to get the last chapter sorted to capitalise on all the buzz with HL. If i start playing it now will it be finished by the time i get to Xen? I hope so.

 

[Wok]

Valve knows what they are doing.

Yeah, but that is a move which you can only do once per decade. Next one is Portal: Chell in 2031 with 5 million views during the first hours.

The ultimate power move

Dr Oculus VR has a decent comparison video for Rush between Go, Quest and Rift S.

nah , If prequel, would rather see Portal: Cave Johnson

I think you're looking for this

I remember something else just recently (like last year) that changed the gameplay significantly but I can't recall the name.

edit: Found it

So just install that not the original game n itll work

 

[lazerfox]

I think so yes.

But as I said you might wanna look into MMOD which is a newer mod but I haven't tried it out myself yet.

 

[Le Pertti]

I've been thinking about doing a replay of all Half-Life.

 

[Joe Spangle]

Bah why does Origin and not Steam push the updates for Jedi game. Now im waiting for it to update and its only using about half my download speed.

Its just another launcher.

The Flare Path: Sidetracked by Steam

Last weekend I found myself doing something I rarely do - scrolling through the list of games Steam 'thought' I might enjoy.

I've been thinking about playing the first Half-Life for the first time.

Is Black Mesa the best option even if still in Early Access?

What is up with steam forums? I have to reload (client and browser) to see replies and I can not go to next page...

2020 is gonna be huge for videogames.

State Of Decay 2 is 2022. Why?

Only if you can't bare to play with the original visuals, the controls are 10x better in the original, Black Mesa is amazing, don't get me wrong, but the original just feel so fucking good to play.

State Of Decay 2 is 2022. Why?

sounds like someone clicked the button too early ... so far not even word on Microsoft`s or Undead Labs`s socials
(its pretty much the reason why i havent made a thread about it)

Kind of yes but not really.XD Let me explain, it's like the Dawn of the Dead movies, the remake is better, but the OG is still the OG. Personally, I'll probably go with HL1:Source.

Fair enough, I'll go with HL1:Source then, thanks! I'll pick it up in the upcoming sale.

Just bought Bright Memory on a semi-whim when I read the "full game" will be a separate release (this is just episode 1) but you'll get it if you own the EA version (and I wasn't sure if they meant before it releases, or before the store page goes up or...).

It also got a big update with English and Japanese VA and better translation since it got picked up by PLAYISM.

I didn't quite understand you. But do you get the full game when it's released if you bought it during early access?

 

[sprinkles]

Even at 90% off, I'd still be hesitant to buy it. It's a monthly bundle game.

But then again if no one buys this, we'll never get another Front Mission game.

The regional pricing of Half-Life: Alyx is weird convertion it seems a lot of gentle convertions but not a lot of local context except argentina and the russians.

I dunno, it sounds like the full game will be a separate thing? How will this work lol

Some dude has developed a remake of Super Mario land (Gameboy) with NSMB-style graphics, and made an SNES rom of the result.

Let me know if it's good. If so I'll be happy to put it on my SNES mini classic

 

[Joe Spangle]

I finished Jedi Fallen Order..

Spoiler

Darth Vader!!!!

Overall I liked it. Probably the best Star Wars game for a while. The combat never truly clicked with me but i did have moments when it felt great and i love pinging bolter blasts back at stormtroopers. Story was good, characters were good. Visuals were good. Bit rough in some areas like animations but didnt stop me enjoying it. Look forward to playing it again in a year or two with some fantastic mods.

 

[Ibuki]

Finally started playing Hypnospace Outlaw and this game is absolutely hilarious. I'm getting some serious flashbacks to my days as a child on the internet. The "fake" bands and stuff are also pretty funny. If you love enforcing copyright law like I do, you should definitely get this game.
