Do people still play Apex? Is there a singles mode?

Feels like the hype for it has died down quite a lot since last year. Don't really see why Valve would want it on Steam so badly.

Maybe Respawn will update it with Source 2 or something.
I don't have any hard numbers for how many still play but it seems to be a pretty sizable amount of folks. NarohDethan and I played it for a while and are both pretty excited to get back to it and defend our crown.

There's also a few other great friends of mine, some of which come from our very own co-op community here, that either dropped the game a while ago or have never played it but are looking forward to jumping in with the Steam release.

Which is all anecdotal of course, but there's definitely some interest there. :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:

And sadly I don't believe there is a singles mode. They did recently make duos a permanent addition however.

Screw that EA jazz

I WANT A SILENT BOMBER SEQUEL or at least a spiritual successor on Steam or on the switch:blobrigged:
because they already have PUBES, and can't have fortnite :p so Apex is the next best thing ;)
in a tree house forum I shitpost on I saw a lot of PUBES players jump ship to APEX when they went to the bots

more like quarterassed ... no achievements, no trading cards (except for Burnout), not even bothered to enable play together (which is literally one checkbox), and of course origin is still there in full force running in the background
?

Mirror’s Edge, Dragon Age II and Inquisition, Unravel (both one and two), Fe, Sea of Solitude, And all 3 Need for Speed games have trading cards, not just Burnout.

Not sure about it PC but in PS4 is quite popular.

So I already owned Dragon Age II from before EA left Steam (yes it was possible to get it then), and they didn't just update that repo and let me have it. No.

Now I own Dragon Age II (Retired). I do not own the regular Dragon Age II, though when I visit the store page for the game it tells me I have it in my library, despite not having the "In Library" tag like every other game does. They didn't even just grant me the other copy. ROFLMAO. EA is really bad at this.

EDIT FOR ME BEING A MORON:
I have to go to the store page and add the new version to my account manually. Cause that makes sense. Bioshock and others were able to give it for free without intervention on my part! Do better EA!

Man if they release this game on GOG before the exclusivity period expires, that shit must have bombed harder than I imagined.

On other news, just bought Burnout Paradise Remaster on Steam, couldn´t resist.
I have the feeling the vast majority of people who still cared about Shemnue probably backed the kickstarter.

I can only wonder how many months will pass before it's officially announced.
If true, Sony's finally going in.

Surely they won't stop at two games either....

My dream would be a God of War or Spider-Man on PC. I can dream I guess.
I would say that both of these are pretty safe bets.

I really hope we don't have to wait much longer for Titanfall 2, after the first wave now I want to replay it and yes, I could launch my Origin copy but then, why would I buy it again? no no, this deserves a waiting for me, double dipping on the same platform, not so many games can say they are part of that list. Damn.

1.) I waited years for a good BB version. I could wait another, should it be EGS exclusive.
2.) I've already played through it. Even one of the few games that I "platinumed", though the Defiled Amygdala fight nearly broke me.
3.) It's happening!


The leaker is now saying Bloodborne was going to be announced at the PS5 event as a PS5/PC remaster, if true I imagine we'll know soon enough when Sony holds their PS5 event in the next week or two.
No idea how believable a "leak" about the announcement of a PS5/PC Remaster during a PS5 Sony event is. I'm pretty sure Sony would like all attention on PS5 and not on giving signals that buying a PS5 might not be necessary, if you own a PC. Also the meltdowns would be huge.

Casey Explosion is not a leaker or even known for this, dunno why some here take it seriously when even that post felt like it was sarcastic with the gif and everything.

That's just one of several other leakers. There are more people reporting/confirming it.
Like who? As far as I know, only Sloth talked about this jokingly or sarcastically and game journalists picked this up because they need clicks. It's like believing in that rumor of Sega being bought by MS. I doubt a PS5 event would show PS4 ports to PC when even Horizon (a game much bigger than Bloodborne in terms of sales) didn't have any special event for it.

One ir two of the mods over on Resetera also confirmed it in the thread about the rumor.

It is now a matter of when it would be announced.

Pretty sure that was the rumor floating around, Horizon would come to PC (before it was announced)
with Bloodborne being announced for PS5 and PC and Demon Souls Remake for PS5 at the Sony event,
with other PS4 titles like GoW later on. I think I read there was a huge title that would shock people (my thinking last of us 2 later on).
Anyway might still be a load of crap but always nice to imagine.
It's lining up with what was said a while ago, and yeah it was not a straight remaster but updated with new content and graphics. Now I am believing that other PS4 titles will be announced in time.

For me Bloodborne is definitely somewhere in the middle of the * Souls in terms of quality and enjoyment. I did finish it on PS4 so I'd probably only buy it at a good discount unless they do some big enhancements besides boosting the framerate (and yeah better not even joke about a 30fps lock, and it'll probably be no-buy if even 60Hz locked)
I have to agree with this.
Definitely a good game but I don’t get the hype of “best souls” from it at all

Setting and art is what elevates it into my from software number 1 game.
Dark fantasy, distopian, fallen civilizations, cosmic horror. I love stuff like that.

Probably also one of the reasons why I love prey

Could be that.

Mor......Do you......Do you happen to know anything about Bloodborne on PC ? 😉

Blink twice for yes.
wink wink


Although let me clear, BB is real, will happen when it gets announced, when is that? IDK and probably won't know due to the constant changes of this year, don't know the sources of Casey, don't know the sources of other people but so far the confirmation I got is from people around me that I trust and have been on the money before, yet I won't go in depth in details as I'm not that good for teases.

EDIT: In fact let me tell you all, please be excited but don't think too much about it, things will happen when they are ready, until then, lots of noise and too little visible :cat-heart-blob:

This is pretty much like Horizon when rumor started in late november-early december last year and it wasn't until 4 months later that it got announced so, Patience ^^

Yeah same for me. I bought a ps4 just to play it. That was the end of my console days where i realised they had become just like PCs but with less options.
I think the setting and world building is great in BB but i didnt really click with the combat and by the end i had had enough. Ill buy it on PC if its 60fps with some other improvements (load times i remember being ridiculous).

BB is by far my favorite in the series. I love the aesthetic and faster combat (gun > shield) and I’m really glad its coming to PC because it means I can stop feeling bad about shilling it to my 3 friends who really like Souls but dont have PS4’s

I mean, you can be as excited for a piece of news as you want, however, excitement can't be a bad thing as it won't let you enjoy other things that you have right now. As someone who gets scoops from time to time, I just don't worry anymore about what's coming, just enjoy what you have today :cat-heart-blob:

Sure thing and here's hope it's sooner rather than later, that's why I don't want to tease more, with the current timing any tease could extend "ad eternum" and I don't want you all get tired of hearing and hearing things over and over with nothing really happening.

One of the main reasons why I haven't been participating in this topic until you asked me directly, I just feel like not sharing anything I'm not confident that will happen soon, there's no point and I don't really care about being a leaker cause' 4 scoops here and there is not being an insider, ANYWAY, here's hope for an announcement ASAP :cat-heart-blob:

To be honest I don't much care for Bloodborne itself, I've finished all three Dark Souls games but they're not among my favorites. I am interested in these announcements mainly because of the positive impact on the PC platform. Having access to as many games as possible, including those by Microsoft and Sony, is a huge boon for PC gaming and it will no doubt bring in more people to the platform.

This might sound weird but RIGHT NOW (at this very moment) I'm more excited about Titanfall 2 double dip on PC on Steam than Bloodborne PC but mainly because TF2 is already confirmed coming in a new wave of games while Bloodborne will just drop one random and unknown day, so I hardly get hyped of things that doesn't have a time set for release or announcement.

Is it exciting to see that Sony is coming to PC at his own pace? yes, it is, but again, slowly but steady all things will happen and there's no way in hell I will worry about that, patience is a tool I use a lot in my life and I don't have any planning of changing that, time passes and things come.

[UWSL]Warning: Dragon Age 2 on Steam doesn't actually have controller support, despite the store page says otherwise[/UWSL]


Since the game was ported to Steam earlier today, I've been thinking of picking this one up. One of the main reasons is the controller support which is mentioned on the store page. I don't remember the PC version has it back then, so I thought they added it later, which is pretty nice. Then I noticed that the reviews are mixed, so I scrolled down to read some of them. There's this one review that mentions that despite the store page claiming that the game has controller support, it actually doesn't.
I was so happy at first, finally DA2 was on Steam, and with "FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT!"

Except it's not, and it doesn't.

It's just like Ubisoft's bs Steam releases in that it requires Origin running in the background anyway, and the controller support tag is a COMPLETE lie. Neither this game nor Origins has controller support whatsoever, even though they both had console ports. DA2 especially has a very streamlined combat system that's perfect for a controller, but nope, they refused to include that functionality for the PC version, and now lie about its inclusion for this release.
I also found similar reports from the discussion board. It's either an error or straight up false advertisement.

So if you're thinking of getting the game for controller support, don't. Thankfully, there's a 2-hour window for refunds.
