Community MetaSteam | December 2019 - Halo! Is It Me You're Looking For?

[Blu]

As a selfish request, NVIDIA is giving away a Quake Champion weapon skin tomorrow through their Geforce Experience Giveaway.

I believe the giveaway is random so I would like to ask if anyone happens to have it on their computer to log on tomorrow (12/12). If you don't happen to play or want your code I would really love a code for my dead game. Thanks for reading.

Pretty good nominees overall, though I don't really see what Total War is doing in this category.

 

[Rosenkrantz]

Somehow, I forgot about this game and spend money on something else. That's my favourite setting

Cheaper for owners of Serial Cleaner btw.

Hello guys, thank you for your questions. We do understand that it might be confusing. Let me explain please: the launch discount is 10% on every store Coteries of New York is available on. BUT, there's this special Loyalty discount for all the owners of one of our previous titles: Serial Cleaner. Those two discounts stack up, so some of you can see 30%, while others 10%. We hope it's a nice suprise and an extra appreciation for loyal, "old" members of our community Best regards, Jacek @ Draw Distance dev team

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Yup, it's 30% off or £10 for me.

 

[beep boop]

Continuing to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider... There is too much of this game. The formula is stretched far too thin to hold up for 30+ hours.

Nintendo's waifu strategy paying off.
Release dating sim spin-offs already to quarantine it

I wonder what the odds are of winning an index headset tomorrow.

I won the Mega Man legacy collection during the Saliens thing last year.

Please Gabe grant me the lottery power again and bless me with an Index.

good luck (you're gonna need it)

 

[Blu]

Wait winning an index? What?

 

[Wok]

Any idea why this wont sell?

It happens. Try to remove it and relist it.

Also, you undercut too much. I would list it at £0.20 and there is a good chance to sell it before the end of the week.

the Goty is up

It sold after like 20 minutes.

I have no patience to just undercut by a penny anymore.

Used to do that but then people would undercut me and I'd have to remove everything and re-list it.

 

[Spamlynguist]

Oooh that's why, I already wondered why it showed up cheaper on Steam itself.

Steam Store

I really liked the design of



from the screens on the store page, put it on my wishlist, but it needs to wait, got some other games to finish first.

 

[Ascheroth]

And Blashpemous done.

Had a very good time overall, though there are some minor yet annoying aspects of it:
Sometimes the game places your "corpse" on unreachable places or completely loses it. Which sucks, because while the penalty for dying is not that big, it's still a penalty you then can't remove unless you move to a specific place and pay up and it's the game's god damn fault, not yours. Something like that is always frustrating and it probably happened half a dozen times to me throughout my playthrough. I'm honestly pretty baffled that a bug like this still exists especially in a game like this, imagine you fall to your death in Dark Souls and the game places your corpse into the hole.... Yeah.

Number 2 is related to the potions. You find more max potions, but there is no way to increase the amount a single potion heals. As your max health increases, the amount a potion heals does not and at the end they heal less then the damage you take from a single hit from some enemies/bosses. And the recovery animation is long and in boss fights there's barely any time to safely heal and yeah.

Also not gonna lie, I looked some things up in a guide/wiki because the game is pretty cryptic and I didn't do everything.

---

Now what to play next.
I'm right in the middle of Gujian 3, Portia, Scarlet Grace, Romancing SaGa 2, Operation Abyss and Digimon
But I also want to try some of the other Choice games

The idea that regulators need to tell companies to fucking flush Nazis makes me really sad.

What, don't you love having to sit there and heal 10% of your HP at a time?

This got so fucking old later in the game, I basically just stopped using them since whatever damage I'd heal up wouldn't make up for whatever damage I'd take trying to get the bloody things to go off. Dark Souls allowed you to chug down Estus from the get go, at least copy the system properly for fucks sake.

IGN miswrote Disco Elysium when awarding Outer Worlds as their RPG of the year.

Hope they fix it soon.

2.30am on Friday (if you are on Continental France)

It's kind of sad how Valve is trying so hard to improve their PR and reputation, while still allowing nazi stuff on their forums.

Ah, hmh not even a chance of Valve Index or games will make me stay up that late.XD

PlayStation for life PEEPS. Long live the PS3 and PS4!!!!!!!!

(disclaimer; I don't use the browser on my game systems because they suck)

LiS II for $20 RN on steam..... tempting but tis the season of spending all of your fucking money, so I might pass.

It's kind of sad how Valve is trying so hard to improve their PR and reputation, while still allowing nazi stuff on their forums.

From the article:

Two years ago, Steam had 29 volunteer community moderators and 12 Valve employees listed on its moderators page. Today it has 21 volunteer community moderators and 13 Valve employees. The Steam website indicates it has 13.97 million people online currently, 3.56 million of which are actually playing a game.

Valve could've done more, only 34 moderators for 3.6 million active users is frankly ridiculous.

 

[PC-tan]

3AM? Yeah, i'll be in bed. I'll catch up on The Keighleys the next day.

now, I will be working when the event is happening, I work from 3PM- midnight



Also I need help

 

[Wok]

I still haven't gotten it myself yet

Don't worry, it should come soon if you have Game Pass Ultimate.

Overall, I paid 1€ for 5 months of Game Pass Ultimate and 3 months of Discord Nitro (which was a bit tedious to cancel). I will be able to play Ori on Game Pass.

 

[madjoki]

From the article:

I don't think that has all moderators though (even if we speak only about global mods). Then each publisher/game (may) have its own moderators.

Still, Steam forums are big trash hole. (Also gaming forums in general too).

 

[NarohDethan]

Oh shit

 

[beep boop]

I have the same free scroll issue on my G502 (which is not an SE version). It was that way out of the box.
Dunno about the RGB stuff. Never really touched that outside of color-coding profiles.

I wanted to buy Dying Light the other day, but what do I get by supporting Techland? Future games including the Dying Light 2 on the Epic Store? no thanks.

Dying Light is well worth buying.

If they want to release DL2 on the Epic Store, they will do, regardless if you buy DL or not.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Okay, just finished Control: High Seas Edition, did not do much exploration, no side missions as I want to do that stuff in the Steam version. Did use a trainer to easier play through the story as that's what I cared about.

It was good, but it was rather a bit underwhelming, honestly, feel like I expected more of it. Can't exactly pinpoint what's the reason for it. Great level design and I really liked the weapon forms. However, despite it had great level design., much of the game had the same type of level design and colors, which made the game somewaht bland halway through. Liked the powers you can use.. The story was in the beginning somewhat confusing, but interesting yet it became rather predictable halfway through and I was dissapointed in how all the mysteries and stuff came to be in the end. I liked how they explained what happened in Alan Wake in the game, nothing on Alan though, his whereabouts remains unknown, it was primarily about what they called the events that happened in Brightfalls, not gonna spoil anything.

I give it a 8/10.

It's better than Quantum Break, but not as good as Alan Wake which is still one of my favorite games of all time.

My interest in Control mainly came from it being a story driven SP game and that it has some connections to Alan Wake. Been waiting for something regarding Alan Wake for years.

Will definetly buy on Steam when it's out. All expansions will be out by then, including the last expansion which apparently has something to do with Alan Wake.

Now that I have completed the story in Control, I can finally say that I can remain in peace with EGS exclusives, as in, Control was my most wanted EGS exclusive, many other Im interested in too, like Outer Wilds, What The Golf, Blands 3 and Satisfactory, but those are way easier to wait on to release on Steam than Control. Control was the only EGS exclusive I simply could not just forget about existing, I just kept thinking about it.
