Community MetaSteam | July 2020 - Blood on the Horizon

[fantomena]

Seems like Covid has delayed the second Control expansion called "AWE".

The devs seem to aim for late august, which is when I assume the Steam version will be out.

Super excited for more info on Alan Wake.

AWE stands for "Altered World Event" is what the bureau in Control calls what happened in Brightfalls (Alan Wake).

 

[ISee]

Remember when videogames were good?

I believe Division is still doing this.

Last console generation I got tricked into buying an Xbox One because I wanted MCC so bad. Biggest mistake of my life.

 

[Dragon1893]

Hot damn, people really wanted a samurai game.
A samurai game with AAA production values seems like a no brainer tbh.

 

[BlueOdin]

I might try to get a PS5 preorder in just cause [UWSL]and maybe because I need a 4K bluray player [/UWSL][UWSL]but if I keep it depends on if I have the money on its release or not[/UWSL]

 

[Trisolarian]

I've been gaming for over 30 years, owned a lot of consoles, but not even once did I buy a console at launch.
You wait 1-2 years and you buy it cheaper and with a decent library of games available for it, not to mention firmware updates ironing out issues that always crop up early on.
Really good launch line-ups are very rare and there's always current gen stuff to catch up with.

Just makes more sense as far as potential gaming experiences to wait. This Gen has been back loaded as all hell, with EVERYTHING crammed into the final 3 three and a half years. Spend the money on content or beta test a shiny new game adapter?

 

[Snakethesniper]

Steam supports beta joins on store pages now

I mean, I love card games, but if there's one thing that really puts me off is when they ALWAYS imitate the WOW card game aesthetic

 

[fantomena]

Yessss. I found a Saints & Sinners trainer that gives me unlimited stamina. I really enjoy the game, but stamina depletes way too quickly for my tastes, so hopefulyl the trainer works, it is from Fling so the chance is high it works.

Edit: Works.

 

[NarohDethan]

More like Bomba Arena hehe

That's out already? Holy shit, EA licking its wounds on that one

 

[NarohDethan]

I think it came out the day it was announced. Supposedly it isnt even bad, it’s just that people ain’t paying for Season Passes plus microtransactions.

I can often be accused of not paying any attention to things I don't care about, which usually translates to me seeing but not caring, But this? Never heard of it.

No one is paying for a F2P game, even if decent by all accounts.

 

[ZKenir]

AI: The Somnium Files is really interesting and fun so far

 

[fantomena]

I've actually heard good things about Rocket Arena, but it should have been f2p.

 

[NarohDethan]

I've actually heard good things about Rocket Arena, but it should have been f2p.

I’ve been tempted to grab a month of Origin Premier to give it a try.

I love this game, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I wish Boss would ara ara me.

 

[Hektor]

It's a incredibly fun game ye.

 

[Mor]

Exciting news, fellas

 

[texhnolyze]

Exciting news, fellas

Hell yeah, it's looking great too!

I'll wait for a full version.

 

[lashman]

Exciting news, fellas

no one sane (who wants to play this on PC) will back it ... sadly

Thanks! Got using Hola on Chrome.

[NarohDethan]

Make it a reactionnnnnn

 

[QFNS]

This is EXTREMELY AMAZING news.

Here's a bit longer article about it from Gematsu.

Very hyped. This is as close to a Suikoden sequel as we will ever get.

 

[Hektor]

Another JRPG Kickstarter?

idunnoaboutthatman

 

[texhnolyze]

Just let the console (and EGS) folks back it, I'll buy it on Steam when it's available. It will be funded, no need to back it.

idunnoaboutthatman

I know I'm staying far away from it

 

[QFNS]

There's already a small gameplay clip, this is more than some JRPG kickstarters ever get lmao.

 

[madjoki]

Should've been reaction.

Worked fine on my level 2 AU account

Why are you getting excited over Kickstarter projects from Japan? Many Japanese Kickstarter projects have been disappointing.
I am still waiting for a full game from Project Phoenix

Same here but because of the launch price will be inflated as hell. I suspect that PS5 launch price here can buy me a motorbike.

Well people asked for Assassin Creed Japan for years yet Ubisoft never deliver. They seems to avoid Asia region (yes I know about that one spin off).

Then we are aptly overqualified to back it

 

[beep boop]

And lose out on the opportunity to get free money? That's crazy talk.

 

[Mor]

This looks really really great!

 

[ZKenir]

I only back/kickstart eroge

 

[ISee]

Please not another reaction that my old brain doesn't understand how to use.

Origins benchmarks for a 2060 super but google is so full of shitty results.

With a 2060S you'll be CPU and not GPU bound at 1080p in AC:Origins.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The anime you all didn't know you needed in your lives

It all depends on the pitch. In hindsight Project Phoenix had many red flags but we just didn't know any better since it was early into the days of Kickstarter getting popular.

This at least already has gameplay to show which is more than I can say about many of those other pitchs lol. And being excited for the project doesn't necessarily mean I'll back it - I don't do crowdfunding anymore, I'll get it when its out.

 

[Hektor]

I
CAN'T
FUCKING
WAIT!!

 

[skLaFarebear]

I'm backing Eiyuden Chronicle's because I only paid $5 for Suikoden 2 and genuinely felt like I got away with robbery.

My dumb brain will think of it as a tip for the creators for creating one of my all time favorite JRPGs and if/when I eventually get a new game from them, I'll hopefully enjoy that too.

 

[Parsnip]

I don't think I'm ready to back another crowdfunded game just yet.

Though the soundtrack will have Michiko Naruke according to the verge story, I haven't heard her work in ages, since Wild Arms and the sequels.
Very tempting.

 

[Mor]

Ancestors is coming to Steam August 27, confirmed after last release date change today.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I backed a few Kickstarters, mostly VNs like Muv-Luv and WEE that ended up turning out for the best outside of some stumbles here or there, but the only one I half regret is Indivisible. The game is fine and I like some of the people at Lab Zero, but I felt really gross giving my money to Mike Z after how extremely shitty a person he ended up being after recent news. I tossed my backer rewards in the garbage once all the dirt started coming out about him.

 

[ISee]

The anime you all didn't know you needed in your lives

Six months to make this? Damn.

 

[Swenhir]

After what happened with Unsung Story, I'm a bit wary of kickstarting a Japanese project that does that not have a very solid plan and proof that they know what they are doing instead of surfing the name recognition.

 

[Deku]

Project Phoenix was probably a bad example

Other projects that went downhill:
Mighty No 9
Shenmue 3
Can't name any other for now

But what's worse with the two projects are that they came from high profile Japanese people from the game dev scene. They got a lot of cash, but failed to deliver good games.

Also, most Japanese Kickstarters games have very high starting price to receive a game.
I bet that this Hundred Heroes will start at 30-40 euros as minimum
