In the third Kalpa Raidou shot me and I'm kinda stuck into the wall with the camera or something and the game is "frozen" as in it's still running but nothing happens, I'm kinda tempted to drop the game now

But it's a SMT game.
You should be used to losing half a dungeon worth of progress to a single enemy attack.
The Kalpas suck anyways

I know who looks forward to the next Choice, too.

I stopped caring about Sony PC stuff a few weeks ago and it feels great. It happens when it happens. Otherwise I have library of 4290 on Steam alone I can joy myself in.

You might be alone now Mor Shahem

I will fight the good fight, don't worry.

IN FACT, I WILL ALSO FIGHT THE "PLS JAPAN, PUT YOUR STUFF ON STEAM" FIGHT with my precious mock-ups.

Any predictions/hopes about the games in tomorrows Choice?
...Not that I have any need to get more games, I'm already busy with Ys 9, Genshin's Inazuma update and then I'll need to get back to the Yakuzas and Iceborne and Below Zero and


Still hoping for a good one though, but I'm legit not sure what I'd even like to see in there

For me the question starts with "will we get Resident Evil VII on Humble Choice this year"? It was leaked some months ago Capcom and Humble made a deal with it but since Resident Evil Village launched I started wondering if the deal was cancelled.

As for predicitions I'm terrible bad at them, and besides one Humble Games publisher game the rest can be up to almost everything except AAA. (maybe we get to see some exceptions to this).

I guess we could see Yakuza 4 if the keep releasing a Yakuza game per month.

As for Humble maybe this game Floor 13: Deep State ? It looks like it bombed hard so they probably need to put it in a Choice soon.

I get some stuttering with Ys IX every once in a while, it'd cause CPU usage to spike, but it seems a bit random, sometimes it could happen indoors and in a cutscene, sometimes outdoor against enemies when using special moves with effects.

 

[hersheyfan]

Anybody else picking up Fuga in a couple of days? It's always good to support niche stuff like this, and Little Tail Bronx is a sentimental favorite franchise for me.

There seems to be a lot going on in this game based on that trailer

Reminds me a little of 13 Sentinels going by the third-hand things I heard about it?

Probably gonna grab it if the region pricing is acceptable

Hmm, the "special moves with effects" stuff sounds like it could be related to something encountered during the beta (it would literally drop below 20 FPS from 70+ with some special moves) but that should be completely fixed in the release version -- at least it was for the testers :/

 

[Cacher]

Fuga looks great but don't forget that the Forgotten City also releases in two days.

If there's one thing I love is releasing a production build and then finding out a bug you thought you squashed a million years ago is suddenly reproducible ((
I feel your pain.

Visually, yeah it has that Vanillaware painterly style. The core of this game appears to be more of a tactical RPG though, with the in-between "town" sections being more life simmy (the Steam trailer even shows off some light dungeon crawling).

13 Sentinels in comparison is more of a pure visual novel, with some obviously-bolted-on RTS bits. (I still love it though.)

Fuga looks great but don't forget that the Forgotten City also releases in two days.

Okay, now that looks rad as hell. Thanks for the rec Cacher, wishlisted!

Also, surprising that the game is an Unreal Grant recipient but isn't stuck on EGS. Not bad!

Probably gonna grab it if the region pricing is acceptable

As a fellow Asian region-er, here's hoping as well. I'm optimistic it'll be reasonable, the game's visibility is so bad it doesn't even show up in Steam's "popular upcoming games" feed. I doubt they'd tank that further by charging people an arm and a leg!

Turns out I was playing games on duckstation with a setting that made games blurry, so I changed ti and now the models and everything is less blurry now

Any predictions/hopes about the games in tomorrows Choice?

Same as usual:

• by Humble: either Temtem or Ring of Pain,
• by No More Robots: either Hypnospace Outlaw or Nowhere Prophet.

That being said, I don't expect to see games published by Humble Bundle in two consecutive Humble Choice bundles. Since Ikenfell was in the bundle for June, I guess Ring of Pain would be in August.

Right, those screens look great!

One of these days I'm going to stop being lazy and actually put some effort into setting all these emulators up on my PC. There's so much PS1 and PS2 stuff I wanna revisit, Tail Concerto included. I need to play Steambot Chronicles again!

That's actually a lot less than I would have guessed. I would have thought it would be at least double. Would like to know how many games are on Steam and what the average price would be.

Death Stranding on Steam is around 1.0 and 1.5 million copies alone, not at all.
Detroit should be around 500-700k copies.
MK I haven't checked.

If you could work on doing a giveaway with Mona for this, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Completely deserved for Death Stranding. I'm waiting for the Director's Cut to hit Steam before I resume my playthrough. >50hours in and I've barely completed chapter 3.

I loved Death Stranding, I'm sure playing it in the year of the pandemic sure did something for me because I felt it way more than I would have probably felt it under a different situation, also yeah, I sure want the Director's Cut too.

WHERE IS MY BUMPY TROT 2, IREM? WHERE!?

 

[InquisitorAles]

Spend the last month making a 1-hour-long review on GTA 4 with its DLCs:


I doubt a lot of people will be interested in it, but that's one of those things that I wanted to make ages ago. And yeah, the PC port is still far from perfect and has tons of unfixed issues, it's a shame that Rockstar didn't bother fixing it.

 

[manchego obfuscator]

former Stadia exclusive, missed that the page for this one went up the other day. Not sure this really needed a sequel, but I liked the first game.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

does this include all DLC too?

Found this on reddit. I'm sure everyone has this friend

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I have an account like that. I made it to play the Just Cause 2 Demo and haven't been able to login to it for years as i lost access to the mail account i used to set it up. 3576 days and counting...

 

[fantomena]

I have a ton of Steam accounts, all of them older than my main, because I kept forgetting both email and password to them. I was lazy and kept making new ones instead of looking for the right mail or password.

 

[Digoman]

Kinda of curious on how console-only players will react to Flight Simulator after the initial "holy crap look at these graphics" moment. Some management elements like Euro Truck would probably help, but apparently they didn't add any.

Found this on reddit. I'm sure everyone has this friend

I did a "clean up" (in 2019?) so the oldest on my very small list now is 1905 days. But there are two that don't even have the "Last Online" info
Then again, I don't actively add friends since my Day of Defeat Source days....

As for myself, I never lost any passwords but I only have two accounts, I think because Half-life 2 Silver came with extra copies of HL1 and I didn't want to waste them.

Which is actually a good thing because it would be annoying to have to type my reaaaaaly old email address to logon to Steam to this day. It's 2021 Valve, can you please let us change the login/username?

I played it as a skyrim mod and even then it was great, good story.
IGN did an article from when it was a Skyrim mod till now.

The Forgotten City's Nine-Year Journey from Skyrim Mod to Standalone Game - IGN

The Forgotten City creator Nick Pearce reflects on the game's nine-year journey and how his ambitions grew from a Skyrim mod to a fascinating, original game set in Ancient Rome.

Forza Horizon 5 looks fantastic. I just hope we will be able to play with Ai Drivatars in the open world and we won't be forced to play with real players like some sort of MMO-lite. I want a pure single player experience.
