What makes you say that?
Releasing in one of the hardest months of the year, MP was not fixed on EGS (although they might use Steam tools for that so who knows) and mostly hype is almost non-existent today, probably due the large amount of games coming out. Not going to lie, I really hope it gets good numbers but it will be very difficult.

I get irrationally annoyed when someone says ' I sit at a computer all day, last thing i want to do is sit at one at home '

I can't wrap my head around that one.

I don't mind people having their personal preference, but I just don't see how your workplace has any impact on your gaming in any capacity.

It's a year old game without any hype and fanfares for the most part of the year and questionable state of MP, add to that the EGS backlash and it being on a Gamepass almost from the beginning, the odds aren't looking good.

"I have to install drivers and shit" is the weirdest argument ever.

Graphics drivers tend to point out itself when it needs to update. So, you pretty much never have to touch that... It's such a weird argument.

Come back when you want to talk about IRQ channels and stuff like that. That was the tough times...

Apparently gaming on PC is akin to flying on a spaceship, I don't know how are we managing such a hard task for so long folks.
I saw that thread. Makes me wonder if all those people are technologically challenged like old people or they never use Windows, only Apple stuff. A lot of the things that they said are a thing of the past where at the present most of it already automated by Windows.

Most of the thing that I do at the options menu are enabling subtitles, changing fullscreen into borderless, and disabling motion blurs/chromatic aberation. That's it.

Unless it's broken shit like RDR2 which says more about Rockstar than PC.
Today, the first EGS exclusive releases on Steam.


I did considering getting it day 1 for a while, but due to both Hades and Boneworks releasing tommorrow, I will buy both of them and a ton of other games I need to play, I will wait for Ashen.
Still no price? I wonder if it'll be "day 1" price or "one year old game" price.

They're just console users who either migrated from PC back in the early 00s or never actually played on PC and just spout nonsense they've read somewhere. I don't think anyone can genuinely say that running a PC is a challenge these days.

It will probably be 40€ (IIRC it was the day one price) as this one will release with the Island DLC as "complete edition"

My first thought about "flying on a spaceship" is "cool, where do I sign up". How is flying a spaceship a bad thing?
It's cool but difficult, in terms of horsepower even high mid-range PCs are spaceships compared to consoles (base consoles anyway).

I've also heard that the game is also not exactly great, which is probably not going to do it any favors either. Tbh personally I had it on my wishlist and was pretty interested, but 1 year later I don't really care anymore and would likely only get it if it's in a cheap bundle with some other games I actually want.

Well, I will be very loyal to my tradition of buying annapurna games ASAP (release day if possible) but yeah, another souls-like game right now it's not what I want to play, yet I'm still very interested on it.

I haven't updated anything on my PC that doesn't do it automatically for ages.

I am not a scientist.

Ashen is dead on arrival unfortunately. Hope Tim gave them enough money to swallow that.
I really don't care tbh. F*ck Annapurna for being Epic's biggest partner in establishing store exclusivity deals on pc.

My first thought about "flying on a spaceship" is "cool, where do I sign up". How is flying a spaceship a bad thing?
And it's not that hard either. I've been flying spaceships for many hours in R-Type.

Just ignore those console warriors
Those threads always pop up at least once a week. Sometimes it's from a console user perspective, sometimes it's PC. Both scenarios will end up the same, people throwing tantrum at each other. Sometimes, it's best to not educate people, or else you'll lose your mind.

It's always best to mark such threads on ignore as soon as possible.

Speaking of constant issues on PC...

My PS4 pad no longer wants to connect via Bluetooth. If i enable BT in windows it asks to pair the controller and when i click yes the controller immediately turns off and wont connect.

Its not a big issue as i usually just leave it plugged in but i think ive borked the usb slot in it because it keeps coming unplugged if i move around slightly.

Only thing left to do is abandon PC gaming. Goodbye all.

Big freakin' week for gaming, especially on PC.

EGS games coming to Steam, Shovel Knight gets its last major DLC/update, GTFO on Early Access, Monkey Ball Blitz, Pinball FX3 gets one of the best Williams tables pack to date, BONEWORKS, Dragon Quest Builders 2...The Game Awards.

And I believe I missed out on a few too.

All of you looking for a soulslike should skip Ashen and play The Surge 2. I've put almost 40 hours into it and getting to the end, and it's an absolute blast! I'll almost definitely keep going into NG+, even with all these other games to play.

Yeah. Ashen wasn't well-received at launch anyway, why should people be excited for it? There are still better Souls like alternatives.

The USB slot in the DS4 (and maybe in general) are fucking fragile. I once tripped on my cable and dropped the controller, and lo and behold, it exhibited the same behavior.

I've come to the realisation that you just have to let go of some things in D2 or you'll go mad.

I have a PS4 with around 14 games, played 7 games in the last two years and the DS4 broke...what a piece of shit. I had my 360 gamepad for about 11 years :confused-face:
