Christ Loaded / Re-Loaded captivates me unlike most genre-adjacent peers.
I just can't explain it. Maybe it was a time & place thing. '95 was many moons ago.
I look at all the modern iterations and just nope the f out.
Even if it's an intelligent evolution in the Hack & Slash genre like Hades (gasp!).
So strange.
Maybe if they had a 0.50 Speed mode I might sign up, lol.
Prob not.

I just want a fucking Chaos Legion remake can i have that
I don't give a fuck about how fucking mall goth incoherent bishounen it gets, I just want two hand a broadsword on some demons face and unleash some other demons on a pack of evil demons
Global entertainment peaked with the discovery you could put interactive shit on CD/DVD

I always had a backlog because I sucked at games. But honestly who was ever going to beat Back to the Future 2 & 3. Now that's a game for masochists.
I also didn't buy my own games, so there was a reason
Greedfall 2 huh. Didn't expect that at all, thought they wouldn't announce anything new until Steelrising is out.
I distinctly remember when I was seven saying something like 'if I had 4 games I'd never run out of fun!'.I also didn't buy my own games, so there was a reason
Kid me would kick me in the nuts if he saw all the unplayed games I have.
No more internet starting today. Moving commence!
~Cya all in a couple days, maybe a week at most.

I am currently at the part of Valkyria Chronicles 4 were the game turns from a strategic/tactical game into a puzzle. Just as in VC1. Ambushes and superpowered units galore.
EDIT:
BTW, is anyone using HLTB to sort their Steam backlog? Any thoughts on it?
I used to have Backloggery but that had too many manual steps, since then I've resorted to a Google Sheets document to keep track of expenses and My Game Collection (Track, Organize & Discover) - Apps on Google Play on my phone.

Yeah, I think my first backlog started 5 minutes after getting payed for the first time.I also didn't buy my own games, so there was a reason

(or find a magazine with a walkthrough )
I've now skipped 5 Humble Choice months in a row. December 2021 was the last one I considered "worth it" and that was only because I sold off some of the high profile keys to subsidize it to justify keeping the few games off my list. To be fair, I maybe would have gotten this month IF the C&C key had been Steam, but I have no interest in replaying those games again when mods are on the table except not for me. But I'm not going to get it for 2 lesser-known indie games off my wishlist.
I have a yearly plan so still a lot of months of credit to use but at this rate it will be 2-3 years before I used the remaining ~10 months. I renewed in September, then skipped Oct/Nov, got December, and skipped next 5. So actually at that ratio it would take me just under 4 years. Oof.

「Echo」 Great to hear you have recovered! Fuck cancer.
Nice to see Spiders do another sequel for once. I really enjoyed Techomancer, where they also revisited another game of theirs (Mars War Logs). Still need to play the first Greedfall, though.
I miss the days of old school magazines, especially the likes of zzzap 64 or Super Play (who are responsible for my love of Japanese games, anime and manga). With the fan submitted maps and guides.Remember when you got stuck in a game and there was no internet so you had to... talk to friends for help
I will try to sum it up regarding sales and performance expectations and reality.
- Coffee Stain "Valheim" achieved a breakthrough success, with sales exceeding 10 million.
- THQ Nordic "ELEX II" failed to meet management's financial expectations following its launch.
- "Deep Rock Galactic" exceeded 10 million accumulated downloads.
- Invisible Walls game "FIRST CLASS TROUBLE", exceeded 1.5 million downloads on PC and PS+.
- Saber Interactive "Evil Dead : The Game" was released on Friday, May 13, 2022, with 500,000 copies sold in the first five days.
- "Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands" was one of the strongest new IP launches in 2K´s history. Sales exceeded management’s expectations, however, due to the chosen business model, no royalty revenues for the game were recorded in the quarter. IP Owner Shared.
- Asmodee Digital "Gloomhaven" has been downloaded more than 500.000 times since its launch in June 2021
Embracer Group plans to release 223 games in the next few years, including 25 AAA games that will be released by FY25-26.
I might have missed more interesting things so I apologise in advance. In any case do not worry, we have Mor to cover everything.

I'm kind of tempted by this since I've been in the mood for a strategy game, but I can't decide if I want to buy this, Songs of Conquest or Warhammer 40K Daemonhunters.
Assuming an even split between PS, Xbox and PC, Evil Dead probably sold about 166k on

so far.Also is Tiny Tina really considered a new IP? I guess with regards to contracts between 2K and Embracer it is, but that's more of a technicality.
Heading out shortly for the second part of my root canal... Then 5 days off! I plan to play some of the indie games in my backlog, but I also just updated AC Valhalla so I may get sucked into that and actually finish it.
i found this part interesting

Ok just installed Voxelgram on the desktop again and my progress is still there. Is it a case of steam cloud not backup up the proper save like Scarlet Nexus ?
Today is also Deadcraft day !
Though while I surprisingly enjoyed the demo, it was very very Z (assumed) and I have my doubts about the full experience.
Deck compatible.
A good 10-15 euros games that will evidently be 30-40...

At one point in my life, I had a Wii U only. No other consoles. No handhelds. No gaming PC.
Now I am living the dream (and anxiety from choosing games to play).
Far too many games that have been launched.
I can guarantee that any game that has trading cards has been “run” for around 2 hrs each.
whether the have been played is another matter.

So Epic is now using % off for coupons instead of 10$. I guess they are done with losing money.
Seems that way. UK discount at flat rate was £10 at first, then £8 in the most recent sale. So £14 games, which many indies were priced at, could be had for £4.
To get an equivalent £10 discount you now need to buy a £40 game. Anything less than that will be less valuable than in the previous sale.
This will favour more expensive games for sure. Indies are about to have an even worse time on EGS.
That's a very common sales tactic, known as 'loss leader'.
Yeah, but with loss leading tactics you’re supposed to price your competitors out of business, not watch them have back-to-back yearly growth while your own store stagnates.
Loss loser, more likely.

Hmm, tempted by Strangers of Paradise at discount + voucher, but I don’t shit hours in the day.
They're probably attempting to do so with the exclusives but so far it hasn't turn out well, yeah.
Reads like nothing they are doing is turning out well for them. Exclusives, freebies, coupons, they have now Epic Publishing left for the store.
Well a 25% voucher means FFVIIR is actually at an acceptable price now. You now what it should have launched at.
Well that is a given. Frankly not grabbing it till it hits 50% off on steam myself.
Hopefully that gets solved for you since I stopped playing from Season 3 to season 7 or so just because of how it kept on crashing for me. I think it had something to do with Origin.
I've been playing more than a few games on Steam again thanks to the Steam Deck. It really was the perfect little device for Valve to introduce and get me back into PC gaming. I've been able to play all the indie fare I've been saving up with no issue.
It is my favorite gaming hardware that i bought since PS4 (PS4 was first console i ever owned). I love it so much.
It's a bit of a shame that Ghostwire Tokyo's performance is so bad, it distracts a lot from the beautiful environments.
