I still can't understand why companies think stealth releases COULD work, because I don't think they are even sure it will work as intended, also it's Friday, Steam is right now with the weekend sales, on consoles it's RDR2 week and the best thing you can do is a stealth release? well, hope it doesn't bomb too hard.

November promises to be yet another bad month for our wallets.



So, what November releases are you looking forward to?

I'm sure I forgot some, but for me, it's something like this:

Already pre-ordered (or backed on a crowdfunding campaign):
-Hitman 2
-Underworld Ascendant
-The Shapeshifting Detective

Will surely buy:

-The Quiet Man
-X4: Foundations

Maybe?:

-Darksiders III
-OVERKILL's The Walking Dead
-KURSK
-Hellsign
-Kynseed
-Beholder 2
-Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry
-Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!
-WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY MAXIMA Upgrade DLC

 

[lashman]

all of the above, lol ... probably not at launch ... but eventually

 

[Mor]

One more new game that looks interesting. Puzzles + copies of yourself.

 

[Nahkapukki]

What's the verdict on the Call of Cthulhu game that's coming up?

What's the verdict on the Call of Cthulhu game that's coming up?

well no one really played it just yet but it looks really cool from all the trailers (including gameplay trailers)

 

[Nahkapukki]

Yea. but I mean what's the buzz around it. Think there have been previews made that were somewhat positive over it.

Mara is from the team that made Deiland ^^

 

[lashman]

i know, i noticed

 

[Deku]

I am debating whether I should buy the XCOM2 collection or not. It's quite cheap now on Voidu and it's probably won't be cheaper for a while.
For FunktionJCB question. I seldom buy new games. Can't even keep up my growing backlog

 

[AHA-Lambda]

November actually may be a quiet month for me for a change!

Just Hitman 2, Shapeshifting Detective, Artifact and the next Spider-Man DLC

 

[JMTHEFOX]

People are talking about anime and no one has mentioned Ebichu? You people are dilettantes.

Ebichu was quite erotic for its time since it had an uncensored version on the Japanese version of DirectTV and DVD. I watched the first episode and I was like "WTF did I just watch?"

Its also super popular in South Korea. I remember browsing the KakaoTalk emoticon store and I saw some Ebichu stickers. There was even an Ebichu pop-up store:

that doesn't look very "quiet" to me Hitman 2 alone is a game you can put thousands of hours into ... just look at BernardoOne lol

 

[AHA-Lambda]

that doesn't look very "quiet" to me Hitman 2 alone is a game you can put thousands of hours into ... just look at BernardoOne lol

And yet that's still quieter than the onslaught of releases I bought between August and October

fair enough, haha if only we had time to play all those games .... i still have like 80 games installed and all of them are games i actually WANT to play too!

 

[Nahkapukki]

Oh dear god! That's my Mecca! EBICHUUUU!

2bh I don't think I have anything planned as a must buy in November. Though I haven't gone through the new releases on steam yet.

 

[Schnitzelfee]

I might check out Artifact... I'm in the mood to get into a card game again

 

[bobnowhere]

There is one, forgot about it.

 

[Knurek]

Read this as Hellsing coming to Steam.
Hellsing would make for a great PlatinumGames game.

It's only playable with a controller if you have a second one plugged in and multiplayer is completely busted. It's going to bomb harder than imaginable on both consoles and PC. It released three months ago in Japan and they thought the 26th of October was a good day to release it here? Not only that, but what most probably assumed was an unplayable state on PC?

I wish we could still get accurate numbers for games from steamspy. I would be willing to bet this will be Namco's lowest selling game on PC.

 

[lashman]

same not just for this game, but in general

 

[Schnitzelfee]

Yeah... Steam spy was so fun... But its not like valve killed them with intend... More like a sad side effect of more steam security

ehh, still not sure about that ....

 

[Schnitzelfee]

I mean... Al valve changed was that the default is private on profiles... To please our good, I mean that, euro consumer laws.... That was of course enough to kill spy... But really... There is nothing sinister going on...
I mean valve even supported Sergei before that change

the thing is - they weren't required to do this ... even under EU law ... it wasn't part of GDPR

 

[Schnitzelfee]

It wasn't? Hm... Seems like I missed stuff again

 

[lashman]

It wasn't? Hm... Seems like I missed stuff again

no, it wasn't .... list of owned games is hardly something that needs "protection"

i mean - they might've done it for privacy reasons or something ... but it definitely wasn't connected to GDPR ... also the timing was kinda weird, "convenient"

just like their shitty excuse when they locked down trading ("oh, we're just doing this until the Russian currency stabilizes" ... buuuuuullshiiiiiiiit)

 

[Schnitzelfee]

Well trading was publisher meddling for sure...

The privacy stuff could be both... Helping customers or publishers.... Hhhmmmm

 

[lashman]

well it certainly helped publishers since we don't have the numbers anymore ....

and customers could always make their list private, the change was to the default setting

 

[Schnitzelfee]

But wasn't the whole point that it's private from the get go according to law?

I get that it could be interpretated both ways....
Tricky

not for this kind of data, i don't think so

 

[Tizoc]

Bit of a heads up, this adventure game, which lets you enter the world of books such as Gilgamesh and Pantagruel
Can be had for as little as USD 1 in this groupees bundle
Groupees - Build a Bundle 45

Hooray for Cheat Engine.
DQ11 Act 3 has a massive difficulty spike.
Sure, I can spend few hours hunting metal slimes to even stand a chance against some of the bosses, or I can just up the standard fight experience by 500x.

Winners don't use drugs cheats.

i'm such a loser then

DQ11 uses Denuvo, so you don't know what you're talking about, mate.

 

[Schnitzelfee]

[Anteater]

Just carry on with other quests in act 3 if something is giving you trouble, I find that there are a lot of stuff to do that ended up leveling me a ton, especially when I was farming materials

no, i'm talking about that new shit they're working on

 

[Deleted member 113]

Does anyone own Spintires: MudRunner, and could let me know what is the point of the game?
Do you do missions? Deliveries (like in Euro Truck Simulator 2)? Or just drive freely, without goals?
And does it by any chance have a music player, so that I could listen to the music of my choice?
thanks

not sure about the music ... but yes, there are missions ... and you unlock new trucks and stuff

 

[Schnitzelfee]

Spintires is great fun... its you against nature... and yes... there are missions. You wont believe how fun it is to figure out a way through all that mud and shit FunktionJCB
The game has no music at all, just let the media player of your choice run in the background

 

[Knurek]

Recommended listening while playing Spintires

That reminds me of Smugger's Run, just driving around an open world in a dunebuggy going off jumps.

well it's not quite like that, unfortunately it's like a hardcore simulation ... kinda
