Is Dyson Sphere purely a building and management game, are there enemies, wild life or stuff like that?

No enemies from what I have played and seen. However, it is a feature they are working on (according to their EA text).

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“Generally speaking, the full release version of Dyson Sphere Program will expand on the exploration mechanics, as well as polish and fine-tune the experience of designing and operating an automated factory, fleshing out the experience the current build can provide. To be more specific, these are some of the features we are planning to implement:

• More types of planets and celestial bodies for players to discover
• More exploration events, like being sucked by a black hole
• Mecha editing: players will be able to design their own mechas
• Monsters: alien enemies that can attack your factories and spaceships to bring more tension and excitement to the whole experience
• More construction types, like suspended platforms to extend constructions from planets to space
• Quality-of-life improvements and balancing
• More music tracks and sound scenes, cutscenes…”

We will see. There could drama and fights!

Last I checked, there are ties for positions 1-2 and 3-4, and the tie breaker worked for these.

Boxes labelled 'goty ballots' found in the ditch on the side of the road. I haven't seen it myself, but people have been saying. Gotta count every vote.

Love Alan Wake, one of my faves of all time, sad it's gonna be Epic exclusive, but if Epic funding is the only way for AW 2 to be made. so be it. I finished the game 3 times on X360 and 2 times on PC. I love the game so much.

I'ts soon gonna be 11 years since the game released and I don't a sequel being made without Epic at this point.

And who knows, maybe Remedy isn't even making AW 2, maybe it's another game. That thought horrifies me.

To this day I still remember the words uttered by Wake at the end "It's not a lake, it's an ocean". I need more.

Welcome to the third PC Gaming MetaCouncil GOTY (Games of the Year) awards! The main award focuses on PC games which we deem GOTY worthy. This year, it was also possible to vote for the best Ongoing game, the best Early Access game, the best VR game, and the most disappointing game. So, sit back...

Started playing Bladed Fury. Got it gifted a while ago and thought I should finally play it. It's alright. A bit unresponsive but okay. Kind of the Vanillaware you have at home but it probably had a fraction of the budget.

It is just a placeholder for now!
People can still vote. Crossing finger that MonthOLDpickle and EdwardTivrusky show up before the last minute!

I will be asleep when we reach the deadline, so I will be posting results on Sunday. Maybe I will tease some first.

My GPU just fried. Don't know when I'll be able to afford a new one... Will need to find something used for cheap that will allow me to at least finish Prey and play the Yakuza remasters.

Sorry to hear that. How old was it ?

 

[Parsnip]

Ah yes precisely, VRR! A nice screen is way cheaper than a GPU!

But I still need that new gpu for hdmi 2.1 support.

It was a 280X I bought used in 2015, can't really complain about how long it lasted tbh.

If you could find one that could match these specs, or if any of these gpus in the link are affordable for you

Best GPUs on a budget

Due to competition between AMD and Nvidia, graphics card prices decreased dramatically in the last two years. Although prices are on an upwards trajectory in the post-COVID era, you can still find some decent graphics cards today. The top 5 best GPUs under a $300 budget are reviewed. These...

You ought to be able to play those games without issues. Generally 6 or 8 GB would be a good preferable and should sustain you for a few years more.

The first on that list is the one my brother has and he's thinking of selling it, seems like my only hope tbh, I'm broke.

 

[fantomena]

With how it never seems like the RTX 3080 will get more stock I might as well just wait on building a new PC until the 4000 series is out.

You say that every year.

I do. I hope I can write that in january 2022 too. The longer my PC lasts the better.

I'm struggling with the camera in Dyson Sphere. I keep wanting to play it like it's Planetary Annihilation and the com is like the king on a chessboard. But it's more like Factorio where you're attached to your little avatar guy and he needs to be around to do the building. I'm going to need a minute to realize it's not PA or supcom and it's also not quite 2d factorio.

It's fun though. Quite calm so far.

 

[PC-tan]

RTX 3080 ti when?

 

[Snakethesniper]

Holy shit I didn't even hear about Dyson Sphere Program if it wasn't for eonden and now I'm seeing it has 18,548 user playing and extremely positive reviews...seems a cool factorio-like! How's performance? That's the only thing that worries me in this 3d-factorio games

Well, yesterday I finished a computer for my cousin with spare parts (i5 3330/16GB 1600mhz/R9 280x OCd) and so the result was really great, I installed him all the important launchers (Steam, EGS, Minecraft, etc...) and he seemed happy, so, let's hope he likes it.

It works butter smooth in my 2070S. The minimum requirements seem pretty low, but not that many settings which is worrying forn now.

Hope he likes it. I have some last little bits coming tomorrow to finish a first PC made from my old stuff for our nieces little lad.

I love Control aesthetics but man does encounters get tedious.

 

[BlueOdin]

Finished Bladed Fury. It is not just kinda the Muramasa: The Demon Blade we've got at home it is the Muramasa: The Demon Blade we've got at home

I imagine the high end 4000 series cards will be in even larger demand and harder to find.

PC gaming becoming way too popular and continues to grow so much.

Best bet moving forward is to just check on cards on a daily/weekly basis and hope to snipe whatever card you want during non busy shopping months of the year. Get as many email notification alerts as possible too for wtvr stores that have them.

Dying Light 2 Collector's Edition Leaked, Bonus Content Detailed

Dying Light 2 has a collector's edition that was leaked through a listing by a Czech retailer but it has been taken down now.

[d00d3n]

I replaced three 500 Gb ssd drives with 2000 Gb ssd drives today to make room for my Steam collection. I may have gone overboard with installing games (all the icons except the recyling bin are new as of today):

WTF.

I have no shortcuts for games, just launch them through STEAM

I like my desktop clean

I launch games through Steam as well. My desktop usually only contains the recycling bin. For some reason I have not bothered to change the setting in Steam to deactivate desktop icons, which is usually not a problem because I don't mass install games regularly

 

[kafiend]

That amount of icons on my desktop would drive me mental, despite my desktop just being a dumping ground for things that I want quick access to - documents, pdfs, programs and folders etc. When it gets messy it all just gets put in a folder and moved off the drive.

This reminds of the client computers I troubleshoot at work. My mind stops for a second out of sheer fear at the site of a desktop with no usable space.

 

[Kvik]

I always keep my desktop sparkling clean too. Not much point having an animated Wallpaper Engine wallpaper with all those icons getting in the way.

Nah, 2020 was just too high of a year for all the electronic (and electronic entertainment) sector, which will b e hard to replicate in a long time. 4000 series will not be in higher demand than the 3000 generation.

That's not mine but it did look like that at one point as OSX insisted on constantly placing stuff on the desktop for some reason.
