Been thoroughly enjoying a Dragon Age Origins replay. Excited to finally get to the DLC I didn't do back in the day.
Brings back good memories of when Bioware made good games.

I am fine with The Witcher Show but i still can't believe that they managed to remove everything Slavic related for the show. We couldn't even get damn music.
You know, I didn't even notice at the time but that is indeed odd. It is very West European medieval.
Books ae in a big part based on Slavic mythology, they are written by Slav after all XD And it was awesome seeing your culture being represented in some way in popular product (games) without being just another "Slavs are bad guys" trope. Then came Show and they basically removed everything Slavic from it.
I had to use the 3rd party patch to download an old version of Until You Fall because their 1.0 release added a high-pitched whine to your weapon being ready, among other crappy sound changes, and it made it painful to play with volume on at all. They finally patched the sound like ~5 months after release. If I hadn't been able to download an old version I just would not have been able to play a game I bought for 5 months (or ever, if they'd never fixed it - despite dozens of posts in the forums, tweets at them, etc. they ignored everything until I think I finally got an email through to them).
Once again, piracy > buying for so many games
Maybe now that they've set up the characters and Geralt can go about "questing" there will be more space for the mythology of those books.
It's more about feel of the show. Games feel Slavic. Oh well let's hope that Witcher 4 with Ciri won't take 10 years to make XD
They will be using the next 6 years on Cyberpunk hotfixes.
Maybe by then I will have finally upgraded my CPU to play it
Also after the mess that was that game, wouldn't surprise me if Geralt comes back from retirement.
Given the game is out for over a year now, it's probably better to call them lukewarm-fixes at this point.
They have to announce a new expansion soon. Maybe Game Awards or something.
W3 had 2 expansions in first year so they have to wtf.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
Yeah, I get that the launch was a PR disaster for them but it's kinda nuts that we're closing in on a year post-launch and they still haven't even announced the DLC. They were supposed to announce it before launch so surely the original plan was for at least the first one to be out by now.
I'm still hoping they've been secretly working on a massive overhaul for the game, similar to the Enhanced Editions for Witcher 1 and 2. I expect to be disappointed but if that's not what they're doing then the game's code base must be an absolute trash fire for progress to be this fucking slow in fixing it.
And it's not like I'm mad about it or anything. I was gifted the game for my birthday so it's not like I got burned personally and I honestly really enjoyed what I played at launch, warts and all. But that kinda makes it even more disappointing because I can see the potential that went unfulfilled here...
I got a question I wanna ask, since I know there's some people here with more involved tech expertise. Whenever there's discussion of Windows 11's TPM requirement, I always see one or two people saying it's part of some long-term scheme to lock purchases to devices and make other kinds of invasive anti piracy measurements possible. Is there any truth to that, or am I correct in thinking it's just outright lunacy?
Speaking of, I need to see if the pixel scaling falls apart at the Deck's screen resolution.
It looks decent on smaller, hi-DPI screens like if you're playing the mobile version, but it's otherwise kind of eh.

Not new news but Valve Deckard seems to be the code name that Valve is likely using for Valve Index 2.0 that will have eye tracking.
Has Sony mentioned something about eye tracking in the PSVR2? I think that they did but I can't remember.
As for the name Deckard, it seems to be form Blade runner since that's MCs last name and one of the mentions that they use in that world to tell people from replicants checks your eyes and basically tracks them.
This was just something that I saw some VR people sharing.
As we know, Steam Pal was the name that Valve had for the Steam deck, so maybe they will stick with "Valve" for their VR stuff and "Steam" for their other hardware, which makes sense seeing how if they used "SteamVR" it would be confusing since it already exist, other wise if they did it would be like what Sony does and how they call their HMD the PSVR.
It's maybe too soon for a stand alone HMD, like some people are hoping that Valve will make to compete with the Quest 2. But Valve likely still wants to make a high end niche device and this till it will have even more high end tech stuff in it.
By the way with the Valve index one of it's stand out points is the audio, which I'm guessing that they patented and have even licensed the design to HP? So I'm curious as to what Sony comes up with, since I would imagine that audio would be important to them because of that 3D audio engine that they talked about.

I feel like Valve is in such a bad position when it comes to VR. Like they clearly want to go high end but that isn't the way forward if they want to compete with the Quest and get mass market VR adoption. Valve is such a small company with 300ish people and not everyone working on VR while Facebook probably has thousands of people working on VR.
Valve will probably make a stand alone VR thing with next (or next next) AMD APU, sooner rather than later, assuming this Deck partnership goes well for them.
Sounds like lunacy to be honest. But I don't know enough about TPM to know.
It's true but I feel that things will improve shortly. Valve staff left a not so subtle hint that the Steam Deck chip is very relevant to Valve's future VR plans. I would bet money that an affordable Steam-based standalone VR kit is imminent.
I think they know where to go now and as Parsnip said, it is to be expected to see a standalone a la Quest headset coming from their Amd partnership alongside Deck.
At least I think now that they have a functional and compatible operating system and a promising hardware with Deck, a standalone headset at an affordable price is not crazy to believe.
After finishing Psychonauts 2, I’m in full what to play next train of thought.
Control DLC, but I didn’t like Control and after the joy that was P2 it may feel like work/miserable.
Aragami 1 ? To be honest, after a couple of hours the game feels competent enough but easily skippable.
I’m toying with the idea of playing some weeb games, some JRPG. Some Tales ? The last Draque ? Maybe Octopath ?
Any good JRPG you would suggest ?

There was a GIVEAWAY here. It's gone now.
Of those JRPGs, I enjoyed Octopath Traveler the most. Not sure what 'The last Draque' is, though, and I really dislike the Tales of games despite my best efforts to try and enjoy them, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
I too am in the same boat, though. No idea what to play next after finishing Deathloop. I made a little Twitter poll so please, feel free to vote and help me decide.
Thinking about starting Greedfall, it seems little janky but its good right?
I do like my Quest 2 but I use it a LOT less than I could for the singular reason of "don't like selling my soul to Facebook" A small and insignificant reason for sure but hey, thats just me. Mr Unreasonable.
I'd be straight in on a headset of similar performace without all the intrusion.
The issue is that "imminent" by Valve standards could mean anything between a year or a decade.
Absolutely, but usually it's quite worth the wait.
Just the weeb (or snobbish ?) way to say Dragon Quest. In my case it was mostly laziness and the fact that, for whatever reason, I can't remember the number of the last game. I blame a combo of 9 being DS and 10 being Online.
PS. I have trouble voting in your poll, having not played the games in it, except for ME. My mood these days would lead me to FF7R or 13 Sentinels, but that a vote colored by what I sorta feels like playing now.
I just played the first one myself
Release dates from the GeForce leak, summarized in a short list
Stop there, you're good.I just played the first one myself
But the second one is one of the best games I've played !
Release dates for games published by Ubisoft
the demon lineup for SMTV is going beyond P5R, can't fucking wait to fuse literally all of them
looking at how the 5 "leader demons" in the newest trailer are connected to their own mythologies, and how we're getting constantly more and more new demons as well as older ones connected to these mythologies is fucking poggers
we're getting most of the christian archangels including fucking sandals, we're getting the norwegian lead brand for ketchup and mustard as well as other condiments, we're getting avatar but if they were green, greaat fucking lineup

I only care about prince of persia and beyond good and evil 2 from ubi, but really not a lot, they could be canceled tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eye.
I've played it before on Xbox 360 - this is the remaster that released over the summer. I've also played FF7R on PS4 too. I've just rebought both games recently and now I can't decide which one I should play next.
I'd say first knock out DDLC+ as a little palate cleanser from Deathloop. Nice and short. Then either double dose on anime with 7R or take a little from it break with ME (debatable how non-anime ME is though).

It's been a while since I played it and this was a time when I barely know how to play video games, but I remember gears 1's whole gameplay loop is staying in cover > blindfire > pop out for headshots, I thought it was tough at first until I know to abuse blindfire which is actually really accurate.
I'm still paralyzed about what to play. Let me add that I hate that every time I google 'best jrpg' or 'jrpg 2021' I only get fucking listicles and no actual journalistic content.
Candidates have evolved : Octopath Traveler / Dragon Quest XI S / Atelier Ryza / Tokyo Xanadu / Tales of Zestiria
Octo and DQ are on Game Pass so that's cool, and I had forgotten about Ryza but it always tempted me. I'm scared of Xanadu in that it feels like a mundane Falcom X Persona. And Zestiria is just there because I really want to play Arise but can't purchase it.

Xanadu is more like Ys than Persona as it is an action game. I would recommend deciding if you are in the mood of turn-based or action-based game first so you can get rid of some choices.

I played 1h or so of the 1st one and couldn't bring myself to play another minute. Am I in trouble? Are they gonna take away my gamer card?
The fact they are bringing back the settlers and bg&e and it'll be stuck in eggstore and ubi non functional store hurts like a mf'er.
