The closer and closer we get to Death Stranding PC release the more my Kojima fanboyism is being shunted aside by the idea of “so you’re just a delivery guy? Hmmm I don’t know...”
Think I may just get a used PS4 copy to try it out that way, would be much cheaper than the PC release sadly.
PS: Seems like everyone else won something from the EA giveaway

Looking at other places it seems people are more excited with HZD PC than DS PC.The closer and closer we get to Death Stranding PC release the more my Kojima fanboyism is being shunted aside by the idea of “so you’re just a delivery guy? Hmmm I don’t know...”

Seems so. The demo is, basically, the campaign prologue. There is someone guiding you through this prison in order to escape, there are also a lot of collectable that shows in which world you're inSo it looks damn good, but is there anything besides the shooting? like a plot ?
Damn it. entered teh EA giveaway this morning and didn't win. I guess I can wait for Catalyst to go on sale
I won the game which I most wanted.
The best part about this page is that you only need to figure out the state and the postal code. Everything else can be entered as suggested.
Edit: Oops, I entered "Kelowna, New-York" as my city. I thought the region was specified as disambiguation, but there is only one Kelowna, and it is in Canada.

Yet another case I could get it cheaper second hand
My heart says “Steam!”
My head and wallet say “just get it used ffs”

CRPG renaissance is bigger than one person, even if that person is Chris Avellone. CRPGs will be fine.
Yeah, both followers and wishlists rocketed as soon as the PS5 event was over, hype is real,, look at this.
plus game went from 14th place directly to 7th place in terms of top wishlisted.
I won a copy of Sea of Solitude and Dead Space 3 in that giveaway. Dead Space 3 was confirmed before I went to bed last night but I woke up this morning to see that I'd won Sea of Solitude. So I guess that unless you get an email saying you haven't won, keep your hopes alive that you may get a winning email in the next day or so.
Also, the emails to me went into my spam box, so make sure you check there too.

wow damn!
think I’ll just get it used. Game is the game and money is money
I’ll definitely miss when everything goes all digital
That's a... very good question.why did you even enter for it if you didn’t want it?
I'm struggling to come up with something at least a little nobler than 'I just wanted to win something'
I mean, the flesh is weak.
And I'm so so much weaker than flesh.
To be honest, this thread makes Chris sound like an alcoholic with a big drinking problem, not an "abusive, abrasive, conniving sexual predator". The fact that he honored her refusal several times (even when she was blackout drunk, and him probably as well) likely means he's a decent person deep down. That's just from what I know so far though, further details about her friend's relationship (his actions during it) could easily change my understanding.
Also, this isn't me excusing him (I admit I'm cutting him a little slack), he definitely needs to fix the drinking (and whatever the underlying issue is) because it's obviously destroying him and hurting people around him.
I wonder if the reason why people don't have much interest in DS PC is because they already saw the game on PS4 and how controversial it is. Sony or Kojima never revealed number either right?Yeah, both followers and wishlists rocketed as soon as the PS5 event was over, hype is real,, look at this.

No word on a PC release still but news is news
While chatting about DS has slowed down I must point out the fact that DS is the 5th most wishlisted game on Steam and people are indeed hyped, however, we are getting so many releases lately (no joke, we got what, 20? 30?) that we are forgetting a bit the fact that both Sony games (even if one is published by 505 games) are coming to PC in the next 2 months
I don't think it will sell any bad, in fact I think the lack of public discussion won't affect the sales of DS, I could see it making good numbers at release, not HZD numbers (that one will be a juggernaut if I have to guess) but good numbers nonetheless
EDIT: let's put a simple example, Journey's Steam release, total lack of public discussion about it and yet it managed to make over 100k in 1 week and a half, same goes for Detroit and Outer Wilds, both selling stunningly well for various reasons.
Not wishlisting Humankind must be some kind of crime...Yeah, both followers and wishlists rocketed as soon as the PS5 event was over, hype is real,, look at this.

A crime against humankind?
Reading his recent timeline, sounds like he's either trolling or really, really disturbed at the moment.
What are you referring to ? I took a glimpse and not seeing anything.
Just a lot of tweets about playing games and some self promotion.
But it was a glimpse.
My guess would be that he's drinking again, but those certainly fit as well. Whatever the case, I hope he's still remorseful in the morning.
Check tweets & replies https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/with_replies
Oh right. To be clear I assumed incorrectly that Rosenkrantz post made reference to things older than today. Yeah, the last few tweets are UH, no denying.
I'm sure he will be. I also hope he isn't going to do some stupid shit and will own his past behaviour.
I wonder if EA will release any other older titles on Steam or is the current lineup all we're getting?
Alice Madness Returns, Battlefield 2 and Sims Medieval never came back, Saboteur still isn't available and we dont have other titles like Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1/2 (both of which are better than Battle for Neighborville), Medal of Honor Warfighter, Simcity, Syndicate, or Anthem.
Man I just want GW2 on Steam

I wonder if we will get Crash 4 on PC of it will end up like Crash Racing.
I find that lately the thread has been veering somewhat off topic. I enjoy idle chit chat or jokes but I would honestly prefer that topics like console games or issues like the one about Chris Avellone were discussed in separate topics. I use the thread as a valuable resource for Steam news and opinions about Steam games and sometimes I have to go through many unrelated posts in order to find on-topic ones. Just my opinion though, if others enjoy having other discussions in this thread then I'm cool with it.
I do agree somewhat, but what should be kept out?
- Console games
- Some anime stuff
- Off-topic stuff like Chris Avellone
- Thoughts on games that are currently exclusive on EGS (I still think that fits more in the EGS thread)
When we were smaller having the Steam thread being a more general thread was fine as we were usually talking about Steam with some diversions but now the Anime Occult has more members are we big enough for a more General Gaming thread? It's a tricky one as this thread is the core of MC and where most of us start reading and then go to other threads. Would a general thread gain any traction? Would it end up a big megathread of rambing unreadableness? I dunno.
Just start another thread, link to it here, and see if the other thread gets traction.
The idea of keeping EGS out is silly, else should do the same for GOG, Uplay, Origin etc
I don't, I also view it as a different thing. Most games on GOG, UPlay and Origin are also available on Steam.
I also somewhat feel a bit triggerred when I read impressions from EGS exclusive games because I know that the reason I can't play them is because the devs/pub were payed to keep it away from me.
Also, we already have a thread for EGS, Steam and GOG. Why not use them for games only available on those platforms?
I can probably make a general console gaming thread.
Played Outer Wilds and I don't understand where to go and what to do. And managed to crash my ship immediately after take off.

Fine but those same games will come to Steam too, later sure but they will come to Steam so i don't see how the logic holds up.
It's just like getting impressions in advance.
Besides new uplay stuff isn't coming to Steam anymore, so that should be cut too?
It seems a very strange gatekeeping that serves no purpose, when this is basically a PC wide thread anyway.
I mean, you are free to post EGS game impression here, I just find it odd and a bit triggering that's all.
If you look to the support thread... I don't want to presume, but I think it doesn't have much to do with this Steam thread.
I can't say I'm bothered by the diversity of topics here. For me the 'Steam' thread has historically been more a 'General gaming' thread and a place to chat with friends. For as much as I'm a near Steam only person I don't care about Steam as such and don't equal it with PC gaming.
And then if we enforce rules, why not go all the way ? Nothing except Steam, PC and no anime (would jokes be tolerated or too OT ?). I frankly believe we are not big enough for such rules and that it would kill part of the chill vibe
