Community MetaSteam | December 2021 - All I want for Christmas is a SteamDeck.

[LEANIJA]

It was a pretty terrible show. Lots of ads and game I didnt care about, tons of new egsclusives because publishers never learn, and a slew of very pretty but boring/uninspired-looking games. There were only a handful of good things, like the gameplay trailer for A Plague Tale Requiem (but it didnt need to be in this show). I hope I learn for next year and just go to sleep

 

[Madventure]

Yeah, just changed it to again. It was DoW that had the Blood Ravens.

The Smurfs are just a bit too boring for me.

You could play one in the online mode though!

But yeah I understand that Ultramarines are kind of the boyscouts of the spacemarines but the game was still fun

 

[Cacher]

Anyway, lots of stuff to play regardless of what Square Enix or Sega do or not do:

Currenly playing Crystar, Maneater and Sprit Hunter: Ng.
Still need to do the DLC episodes for FF 15.
I'm also itching to try a few more games I got from the Fanatical bundle(s) and the last Choice (Greak and 8Doors mainly).

Games in progress: Wild Arms Alter Code F, Fights in Tight Spaces, Halo Multiplayer, GTA4, Dreamscaper and Puzzle and Dragon Z... Yeah, whatever they release won't affect me. And I will be playing the Gunk on gamepass in a few days.

Don't get me wrong this is in no way going to stop me from playing this.

Anyway, not had a chance to go through all of the anouncements last night. What did I miss that is now EGS exclusive? Other than FFVIIR?

 

[Shantom]

Waking up to Square Enix pricing and immediately going back to sleep.

 

[Jawmuncher]

TGA's were fine but the PC stuff was pretty lacking this year.

The "PC Gamepass" selection was pretty laughable to spend money on showing off at TGAs lol.

 

[Durante]

Lol that S-E pricing. I might have paid a normal price for Forspoken at launch, but at 80 fucking Euros that makes me more inclined to never buy it at all.

 

[Ascheroth]

Forgot that I also still need to play the latest area in Genshin, and there will be another one in a month already apparently, lol. I'm actually getting open-world fatigue at their current pace

 

[curi0usBystander]

Maybe I'm just a boomer, but I don't see what is so impressive about Forspoken that it commands one hundred and twenty dollars asking price.

PS5 game, that is all. I guess in a few year new games are gonna launch directly at 100€.

As for P4A, it was so obvious that I'm not surprised would have prefered to be a bit cheaper, though,

 

[Hektor]

For the price of 1 Forspoken, you can get 2 Elden Ring on Voidu.
Preordered it there yesterday.


Alan Wake 2 has me hyped, and i'm also excited for Space Marine 2.
I'm also very excited for Quantic Dream's Star Wars game, in so far i am excited for Quantic Dream games, which means i'm not excited at all but will still enjoy watching it as a pisstake

[Joe Spangle]

Been knocked out for a day by my booster shot. What'd i miss?

Sounds like not much

 

[xxr]

guess who bought pringles, prepared to watch the show after going through several exams
and then fucking began sleeping because the show was at 2 am

At least you have pringles now

 

[Kiru]

Been knocked out for a day by my booster shot. What'd i miss?

Sounds like not much

The Epic Games Store finally has a shopping cart.

Regrets.

ARC Raiders is a free-to-play, reimagined, cooperative action shooter that offers an intense struggle in every session: together with your squad, defend our home and resist the onslaught of ARC – a ruthless mechanized threat descending from space.

reimagined

Reimagined.... From what? Is this a remake situation I'm not aware of?

 

[Le Pertti]

I honestly thought ARC Raiders was a follow up to Generation Zero, since it was also from Sweden but different dev.

 

[kio]

I'm not going to lie, the meltdowns in this thread because of SE and Sega did are glorious.
Daily reminder that a vast majority of japanese devs don't care about their costumers in general and despise their pc costumers in particular.

I'm just "happy" that my prediction 70€ (well, it's $70=80€) for a nearly 2 year old game was correct .

Joking aside, we're gonna see that cycle every few month (people getting excited by a japanese publisher doing something and then getting extremly dissapointed) until the end of time or we become one with the singularity that wins the metaverse wars,whatever happens first.

 

[Kvik]

I have now completed an astronomical total of 3 games released in 2021!

 

[madjoki]

Forspoken doing very well on early preorders.

Digital Deluxe @ 105€ is 150th in top seller list.
Regular Edition @ 80€ is 300th.

You'd think that the first game to try the 80€ thing would be a more popular/hyped game, not a new IP that some people are not even sure what it is.

I should get around playing III and IV, some day ... i'll get to it.

 

[Durante]

To be fair, that's a fucking long game

Yeah, I bought Elden Ring for 36€ on CDKeys a while back. I'm sure Forspoken is worth more than twice that.

 

[Arc]

Regular Edition @ 80€ is 300th.

Meanwhile Persona 4 Ultimax peaked at 5th place last night when preorders first went up. It's currently in 14th place, but that's kind of skewed since it's early in the morning and subscription services (EA Play, Fallout 1st and Star Wars: The Old Republic subscriptions) are being charged.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

The Touryst is out

 

[Ascheroth]

I should get around playing III and IV, some day ... i'll get to it.

I have them slotted in for 2023/2024 depending on when the Crossbell games release in 2022/2023.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Sorry to distract from the TGA talk but this looks interesting and people have been talking about Firefighting games here before...


Thank you, Please resume shitting on the TGA.

 

[curi0usBystander]

I delayed them due to the geofront translation (which i beat last year and this year). But who knows when I'll get around III and IV (maybe next year, but we'll see)

Damn... Amazing results! What a runaway success!

I have been eyeing this for a long time!

Is 150 euro correct? I only see 105 euro deluxe edition

 

[ZKenir]

Space Marine 2 holy shit

 

[madjoki]

105€ is what i was supposed to write, yes.

 

[Digoman]

After sleeping a little...

- I'm still a petty man. Since there was no chance of Psychonauts 2 winning, I'm glad the big award went to It Takes Two instead of Deathloop, which I liked but think it was way over hyped by critics.

- With its stupid base USD price and only -10% regional difference over here, Forspoken will need at least a very fast 66% off before I even start to consider buying it.... ouch.

- They really need to trim this show down, but I'm guessing that would mean cutting the few awards they actually gave on the stage...

- While there were some nice surprises during the main event, the peak for me was the in the pre-show with Homeworld 3. But seeing no one in the Twitch chat guessing correctly what game it was made me feel so oooooold ( not.. it's not Starfield....)

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Elden Ring story trailer

 

[Kvik]

Quite.

Next on the agenda is ... Atelier Rorona, I guess.

 

[Le Pertti]

MetaCouncil's Games of the Year Awards 2021

 

[ezodagrom]

P4AU will be version 2.5, based on the arcades only 2.0 version (while the old consoles version was version 1.1).

 

[thekeats1999]

The Touryst is out

Might give it a try, refunded Mech Jammer so got some cash in my steam wallet

 

[beep boop]

I have to applaud the massive troll that is P4AU. It really takes effort to come up with something like that over doing P3 or P5R.

 

[Jav]

Who is buying P4AU tho?

 

[Kal1m3r0]

Atlus distribution is like that video of the guy failing all Heavy Rain's QTEs with the game looking nonsensical and ridiculous

 

[mastemas]

At least you have pringles now

had

Who is buying P4AU tho?

ngl i'm gonna get it

overall i'm pretty happy for P4AU, it includes both P4A and P4AU, and P4G owners get it at like 30% discount, so it's really just a pretty alright deal for me

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Who is buying P4AU tho?

I may get it later when a discount happens as the story mode seems to be good.

 

[mastemas]

I may get it later when a discount happens as the story mode seems to be good.

yeah if you have p4g on steam, you get a perma 30% discount, or at least for the preorder

 

[derExperte]

New Terminator DLC, rather unexpected.

And yes, The Touryst is lovely, good to see it on Steam.

 

[mastemas]

very relevant news

the steam community for P4AU are screaming that they wanted P5R instead
we're seeing real copium taking form

 

[Panda Pedinte]

One of the TGA announcements that picked my interesting yesterday.

 

[Alextended]

Sigh, so many trailers behind age check, any place to watch them all together without logging in and no TGA fluff?

The UE5 Matrix tech demo looks pretty good except for some special effects like explosions (isn't UE5 big on particles, weird they botched those) but I guess it makes sense it's not as perfect as other tech demos which are far less interactive/varied in how they showcase the technology so every little thing is polished.

Tchia looks like such a rip off of BOTW with some Odyssey thrown in. Did they have to lift so many mechanics wholesale then say inspired by New Caledonia, lol? Embrace it honestly rather than pretend everything shown is your own creativity, this goes beyond Genshin Impact's in the end minor similar elements.

 

[Le Pertti]

Durante making MC famous again!

 

[Lashley]

LMAO

of all the publishers to try raising their prices on PC, it's fucking Square Enix with a 2 year old port on a launcher nobody likes
