I finally managed to try the demo for Ghostrunner and I'm super impressed. Definitely a day-one purchase when it launches.

Say what you want about Ubisoft, or Uplay, but I legit can't believe they're giving away the best the only good parts of AssCreed Origins and Odyssey for free.

Anyone remember the Valve Potato sack?
Now that was something special!
I was reminded by that vaguely potato looking Origin Pic earlier.

Is there any way to scale STEAM?
Not sure if I like this compared to my 1080 display.
Quick tutorial to fix this:unfortunately not
- Go to your Steam install folder (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)
- Open your skins folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins)
- Create a folder for your new theme, I called it "custom" (so that you get something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\custom)
- Copy the folder called "resource" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\custom (so that you end up with C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\custom\resource)
- With notepad, open the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\custom\resource\webkit.css
- Add the following text at the start of the file (2 gives you a 200% zoom):
:root
{
zoom: 2;
}- Open your Steam client, go to Settings > Interface and pick your skin (in my case, "custom"). Restart Steam. There you go.

oh. I guess you could just open the webkit.css file for that theme and add that bit of code. It should work just fine.
Ghost of Tsushima sitll doesn't look particularly interesting to me sadly, pretty game through. Will most likely buy on sale.
TLOU 2 on the other hand will be played day 1.
Edit: Looks pretty much like yet another open world game with pretty visuals and some changes to combat. Reminds me a bit off AC Odyssey.

Im dissapointed by Ghost of Tsushima. Really liked the first gameplay showcase they showed at E3 2-3 years ago. This looked rough, uninteresting and bland with pretty graphics. Will get it on sale.
Oh well, at least TLOU 2 will be day 1 as TLOU 2 looks amazing to me.

Continuing my Lovecraft reading, I find myself strangely attacted to Cyanide Call of Cthulhu and even The Sinking City. Anyone played them ?

Tomorrow, it will be exactly 1 month since the last stable driver release.
I guess they've also been busy with the Vulkan beta drivers, and also implementing the quite substantial number of new features in the new DX12 maybe.
Horizon: Samurai Dawn looking good
jokes aside, looks good but that's it, not blowing my mind at all.

Wait, this is seriously beyond fucked. Installing a kernel mode driver for an already existing game the first time you launch it? That is simply not acceptable and probably one of the worst invasions of security and privacy I've seen since that Sony CD DRM back in the 90's!Denuvo Anti-Cheat goes LIVE!

Requested a refund even though I have 7 hours played. I've never requested one over 2 hours played before, so I'll see how this goes.
I do not accept kernel mode drivers. I don't even do it for good-ware like that image enhancing thing everyone uses.

I feel it says a lot about Tsushima when each person I've talked about it with has a way to mock it by calling it a different game.
My turn: Samurai of Mordor - Wild Hunt.
I think it looks cool as generic as it is

that's bethesda for ya
expect LOTS of new games to use this shit as well (if their shitty drm is anything to go by)
Gonna have to end up skipping games with multiplayer components. I hate Denuvo, but I'm willing to tolerate it for new releases. But exposing my installation to security threats? Fuck nah.

You mean this is another one of those? And it is confirmed that the user is neither warned nor asked before the installation of this stuff?

Yeah, I updated Eternal today, then when I went to launch it, it asked if Denuvo could make changes to my PC, said no, uninstalled Eternal, and checked, doesnt look like Denuvo installed.
GTFO with that shit.

Well I'm glad they at least ask, I was too afraid to even try. I've already uninstalled, hoping for the refund. Honestly, it should give you the option to automatically refund when shit like this occurs.
If they have any sense they'll break out the single player and MP installs like they did with the last Doom and only tie the anti-cheat to the MP component.
This stuff is why I have issues with forced updates of any kind. Give up control and bad actors are sure to abuse it .

About Denuvo Anti Cheat, I may be mistaken, but, doesn't Easy Anti Cheat do the same thing? Kernel mode driver and a service that only starts when the game starts and stops when the game closes?
If so, I don't remember anyone being upset about that one. As bad as the Denuvo anti tamper may be, their anti cheat doesn't seem nearly as bad as Valorant's, I guess.

Yeah, CK3 is a game that you play for years, but game pass will most likely only have it for 1 year.
Hey cheers. Im downloading the Greece one. I really enjoyed AC games in the past but Origins was just too much grinding for me but visually they are fantastic and so a tourist mode seems great.Ubisoft Free to Play Games | F2P, Trials, and Demos (US)

The Ghost of Tsushima demo was both pretty amazing and really frustrating. The world is beautiful, they are teetering on the edge of greatness with the idea to have the game communicate to you where to go, how to make you curious... but then slap RPG mechanics, collecting woods and making you follow icons all over the world. It's like they can't bring themselves to trust the player to want to play.
The game seems to truly be atmospheric, but with the bad case of Ubisoftitis it has prevents that atmosphere from ever sinking in and becoming meaningful. Instead, the implied impetus of all those icons, meters and resources to collect take over the magic of the environment you are in. The item collection prompt is badly jarring in the midst of an atmospheric scene.
At the end of it, it doesn't feel like a game that fully has the courage to be what it'd like to be and instead goes down the route of borrowing elements from the open world zeitgeist instead of finding its own answers. This setting is one that begs for contemplative gameplay mechanics, not collectathon busywork.
