For AAA games for sure. Data is everything to big companies.

Hey, I played that with move controllers.

I’m still not sure if it made the game worse or not.

You also have to sit infront of a tiny screen, wear an uncomfortable headset, update drivers twice an hour and play without friends.

And all you get for all that trouble is an endless catalogue of games for every taste out there. You can play big AAA, explore a space station in VR, lead the fate of an empire or micro manage a lawn, while dating catgirls.

PC gaming is meh!
Please elaborate on dating catgirls

Does anybody here own this game?

Based on a data leak, 168,051 users owned that game in July 2018, and PlayTracker seems to agree (but I suspect that is because they use the data leak).

However, the game has 59 reviews, 243 followers, an all-time peak of 5 players, 1 guide, and 2 pages of discussion on the Steam forum. That is a weird case.



I see that the game costs 15 €, but it was on sale for 1 € a week before the data leak happened, so maybe it helped boost the sales. :thinking-face:
There is no trading card, but there are achievements. Maybe there are a lot of achievement hunters. :thinking-blob:
Other than that, Lily from SteamGifts has posted on the game hub, so there is a possibility that there was a massive giveaway. 🤔

I really wonder what are those Take Two, 3 unannounced new iterations of previously released games. One or more is probably some kind of Switch port.

Been focusing on the last 3 PS exclusives I have the last few days as Im not sure if Im gonna take the PS5 with me or not, at least not at first, when moving to my own apartment.

Doesn't matter if Im playing Returnal, Demon's or 13 Sentinels, I always feel an urge of wanting to play them on my PC instead. Im taking my PC with me of course, having a good PC also help work stuff more effective. Like, I have a laptop I will be using at school (I assume I will also get another laptop from the school) and at home (apartment) I will use the desktop to work.

WE GOT A DISTRESS SIGNAL FROM PHOBOS, A PORTAL TO THE NETHERWORLD JUST OPENED, WE NEED ALL MARINES READY FOR DEPLOYMENT!
I'm willing to take full responsibility for the horrible events of the last 24 hours, but you must understand: our interest in their world was purely for the betterment of mankind. Everything has clearly gone out of hand now, yes, but it was worth the risk. I assure you.

It gets extremely tough around the labortory area. If you have any relics that increase defense, be sure to wear them.
I just beat the Dark Witch so I guess I'm still ways to go haha
Is Neo TWEWY 100% confirmed as a EGSclusive?

Not sure if bad at videogames or ender lilies does get tough
It gets quite challenging.

For me, it first got difficult right where you are at, then it actually got easier again, and then difficult once more towards the true ending.

Fantastic game overall though, probably my favourite this year so far.

The fact that pixel remaster collection was more discussed on the internet than KH tells you everything you need to know.
Hell SE themselves are promoting the Steam version of that, I think I have seen mode ads for that then I ever did for the KH games on EGS. Also with the new World Ends with you game the PC version isn't even out yet and if you didn't know about it already you likely won't know seeing how they only mention the console versions and only in the "fine" print do they say EGS for Summer 2021

“The reason that it might still be [considered] a new property even though it’s a Marvel thing is that… this is not going to pick up any existing franchise in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe], it’s not even going to be existing characters,” Grubb said.

“So it’s not going to have any existing MCU characters, but it should take place in the wider universe.”

Looking on line, hey look there is this video from a week ago about N/S vs Steam Deck for some reason...... Oh it has over 700k views.

From the looks of it, it's mainly just talking about the difference between them (or at least some basic state info that Valve shared last month

Valve should definitely send a couple hundred thousand units to Japan to see how the Deck does. It seems like a device that could do well there with proper support/feedback etc. Maybe partner with some popular gaming companies to help with marketing.

I imagine it would be impossible to compete with Nintendo tho at this point they seem to dominant. And next year they are releasing a new open world Pokemon and Zelda game too. They are gonna crush it with the end Switch life cycle sales.

You can't compete with Nintendo but in Japan this would seem like a nice entry point to PC gaming there. Assuming a couple of things.


When the Steam Deck is sold there it's MSRP will most likely be somewhere of $100-300USD above what the US MSRP is. So it would come to no surprise if the 500GB version is somewhere close to $900-$1kUSD MSRP in Japan and the MSRP for the bass model to be close to $500 (maybe even $550)

Something about PC gaming In Japan is that it's expensive, so being able to have an entry point at just $500USD is very nice, so not only is it a gaming PC but you can also use it for general use. Computer wise in Japan I guess it's only "real" revival would be Chrome OS laptops and even the most popular one is around $350USD there and is locked to Chrome OS and can't play Steam games (yes Steam is coming to Chrome OS but I don't think those lower/mid tier ones will be able to play Doom Eternal or Witcher 3).


I guess it's popularity there all comes down to how much people know about it. Because if it's like Chrome OS and all the person needs is just web browser stuff then they should have no issue using the Steam deck for school stuff. You saw the stuff that they showed in Linus video that's the PC stuff that this can do and may be one of the things that a lot of people don't talk about, even when some people like Daniel Ahmed and others talked about the Steam Deck the mainly focused on the "handheld console" part of it and not the actual PC part of it. In addition to the $500 all you would need to pay is an extra $300 to get a monitor and mouse and keyboard (even if you got a desktop you would still need to buy these anyway)


I tend to look at some Japanese PC gaming stuff that I know a lot of others don't always tend to pay attention to but this is something that I'm looking to see how it plays out and if some of the stores that are going to be selling it are going to have a special demo thing.


As of right now Japan is the only place that sells the Valve Index in physical stores and the thing is that they do have a demo both for it. The way they would have it set it is that you would sign up for a time to demo it out and then go and try it. I'm not sure what the current situation on that is right now but some store are still sold out of index stuff.


And that's a rock fact.



Also I'm not sure if I mentioned this already but I got my P5 vinyl and I didn't seem to get the velvet room song... I contacted Fan Gamer and hopefully they have some good news for me and don't tell me something like.... Oh we forgot about you seeing how even back in April they did say that as long as you pre-ordered by Dec 31 2020 that you would get the vinyl for that song
Watching LTT's video about the Steam Deck it's very clear the 649 USD model is the one to go with.
Which one is that? Or just a typo?
