Community MetaSteam | June 2022 - It's Hot Outside! Sit and Play Some Videogames.

[Hektor]

Tbh, i like the look of the original more

Wasn't Souls Hackers 2 supposed to be an August release? The steam page says Late 2022

The DLC's still say august

 

[mastemas]

I am just so fucking tired of hearing about TLOU

And now I'm sitting looking at concept art for a MP game
And a talking shop for a tv adaptation of the first game
And a re-re-release of that same first game

and then you hear the comments for the game for 5 minutes straight even though nobody fucking cares
dont tell me it fucking ended with 10 m

it fucking ended with cocksucking tlou

 

[yuraya]

Damn Geoff really ended the show on the leaked TLOU segment.

Also no Elden Ring DLC news and no Silksong

 

[mastemas]

what a letdown, honestly, unironically it started raining RIGHT after it ended here outside

it ended with cocksucking TLOU as if the pimp paid extra for the hooker in las vegas which i mentioned earlier in my posts to give the BLT special service, and the entirety of today consisted of games i didn't care about, games i didn't like at all (WHAT THE FUCK IS THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND MOVING CONTAINERS ON A SHIP, ACTIVISION??), and honestly, i spent most of my time watching youtube on my phone

we got no Overdose news, no Silksong, nothing at all of mention except for:
not one, not two, but more than three actors promoting their fucking series/movies, praising Neil as if he was the God of writing for doing a hole-in-one on the protagonist (if you get what i mean), and the exact moment SH2 had to start, my sister had to fucking ring the door so i had to sprint there, and believe me, there was not a louder "FUCK" uttered from my mouth than this exact moment

as predicted; this bingo has made me a bigger sucker, and i will proudly wear the dunce hat from Tom & Jerry for the rest of my fucking days for expecting something today, LORD JESUS

 

[NarohDethan]

Good thing I spent that time playing God of War lmfao

 

[Dragon1893]

Looks like I was right about SH2's system requirements, those were indeed the recommended requirements.

You guys really need to temper your expectations in a post covid world.

you know kaz from metal gear

how in metal gear v he's constantly out for revenge

i like to imagine myself as kaz, but more

 

[MomoVideo]

I think the show wasn't that bad. If TLoU didn't leak earlier it would have been even better.

 

[Jav]

wow that was terrible

 

[yuraya]

Well at least the Devolver show is in a few hours so people can set their expectations back to the highest level because you know they always deliver.

i'd like to hire the guy you used for this

you know, to kill your expectations, i could really use him in this time of day

 

[Dandy]

I listened/watched at work, but wasn't really paying attention fully and got interrupted a few times so I may have missed some stuff. Nothing terribly exciting, that I can remember anyway.

I do plan to play around with the Saint's Row character creator when I get home though.

They are always entertaining at least imo

Still no Uncharted release date.

Easy, don't trust a man who has never drank coffee

no, worse; never trust a man who lies

 

[AHA-Lambda]

damn I relate to this a little too much actually

 

[mastemas]

and as if my day wasn't already at that point, i got a jumpscare:

excuse me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

also the hidden dlc is persona customes and raidou customes

You seem surprised. Did you forget which engine they used for SMT3 HD?

 

[mastemas]

well unity seemed like a nobrainer for something like smt3hd, it was a remaster of a ps2 game

the fact that soul hackers 2 is made with unity scares me, not because of the quality, but because of the very possible chance that, if using unity does take off for some god forsaken reason, then atlus will use unity more, and this is what scares the absolute living shit out of me

Meh, it that means more PC games it's ok. They're turn based RPG not action games.

 

[Mor]

Still no Uncharted release date.

Weird, huh

 

[ezodagrom]

Easy, don't trust a man who has never drank coffee

I never drank coffee.

 

[fantomena]

Weird, huh

Maybe they came across some technical difficulties? Or decided to port the rest of the games too?

 

[Dandy]

These were the two games that stood out to me from the show. I already knew about American Arcadia, but Highwater was new to me.

 

[Ge0force]

This is a controversial opinion, so I raise my flame shield, but I think TLoU isn't a good game. It has a great setting, fantastic characters, and interactions but the gameplay is not great. Despite wanting to see where the story goes, I was bored out of my mind by the middle of the game. I always thought this title would work better as a movie or a TV show and thankfully we are getting one.

I'm one of the few people who liked the combat, especially on high difficulty. This said, I played TLOU on PS3 but never bothered to play the remaster or sequel. But I probably will if they come to PC.

 

[Dandy]

I will definitely try TLOU once it is on PC. I've never played the original, so I need to see what the fuss is about.

 

[Sobatronix]

Sony's SoP was so much better and straight to the point, hopefully Xbox's event is a little bit better

 

[spindoctor]

The best part was when The Rock showed up in a pre-recorded video that he couldn't even be bothered to put on clothes for and then proceeded to try and sell an energy drink on one hand and his new movie on the other without giving one single solitary fuck about the actual purpose he was actually asked to make the video for.

No the best part is that dorito pope actually saw this utterly useless video and then decided to include it anyway.

The acting, the characters and the story are the best parts about that game, I found the gameplay not that engaging, but that depends on personal preference.

Even more disappointing the CGI in Black Adam doesn't look really good imo. They still have post prod work to do and explains why the movie was delayed from July to Oct.

 

[Mor]

I don't really know, second one likely not as that would have delayed any movement, I could see it being announced tomorrow in EGS showcase but not being timed exclusive at all (but multistore)

I'm sick to death about hearing the covid fucked everything for the gaming industry excuse.

It hasn't effected gaming companies bottom line thats for sure. A deliberately slower dev cycle suits much of the game industry as they look to stretch out their existing games profitability-over-time in a far longer cycle.

Its their money generation activities at fault, with covid as the excuse.

 

[Durante]

I'm actually at least somewhat interested in principle in trying out The Last of Us, which isn't really the case for any of the other big Sony games. That said, I probably still won't get to it given all the other stuff I want to play, but at least there's a chance

Other than that, well, I'm not surprised that the show was nothing.

I did not play part 2 and probably never will. I saw the story summary and was immensely disappointed, especially by the ending.

I sorta agree, I liked the game, but the gameplay itself wasnt much to write home about. i just liked the atmosphere, characters (well, most of them) and story, even tho it was super linear and if i was in charge of the flow, i wouldve made different choices, but i know thats not what this game is ... do you guys think that The Quarry will feature some actual freedom in changing the storyline? like, if i see a stupid trap from miles away, i would not go in, right? but lots of games force you to do just that, including TLOU.

Still waiting for the game people truly wants: Bloodborne PC.

I only "want" Bloodborne on PC so that the endless Bloodborne PC talks here can stop

damn I relate to this a little too much actually

yep same. those shows are just funny to snark at in Discord or sth.

 

[Cacher]

Good thing that I slept through the whole thing (need to work today anyway). Never had much expectation, honestly. Going to watch some trailers tonight.

are you sure you're up for watching 5 minutes of trailers tonight, i'd rather just tune into yet another compilation of top gear like i've done for years now

Hey now... If I'm going to watch the Rock shill energy drinks and D-list superhero movies, I would prefer he not be wearing clothes.

Witchfire is timed EGS exclusive, so not worry

Witchfire Summer Game Fest 2022 Trailer

Here’s a short and sweet FAQ on the Witchfire trailer featured at the Summer Game Fest 2022! Wait, what trailer? This trailer! We suggest watching it in glorious 4K. https://youtu...

seems to be same route as Hades so

seems to be same route as Hades so

any egsclusives, including early access, only bring out a shrug and a "whatever" from me nowadays

btw there needs to be a shrug reaction on this board.

 

[prudis]

nice to see it come back

 

[Mor]

It has changed again lol

Not just covid but I think the industry is in a creative slump right now.

The two biggest games of this months reveals will be RE4 and TLOU. Two games that have been remastered and now being remade lol. Then you have your Dead Space likes and Dead Space remaster....and your Silent Hill likes. You have your same old COD, Battle Royales and Destiny likes.

Indies are kind of carrying the industry right now but even indies are slow to release. People want a lot of content but it is summer and everything is slow for the AAA fans too.

I think Xbox will be the best showcase this week but even then they need to start releasing games instead of only announcing shit. I want to see concrete release dates for their stuff on sunday but I bet it will all be vague again full of cgi trailers.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

overall

if everything was really dead space, it'd have been much better show
jesus christ Suda xD

 

[Mivey]

Am in the same boat. Just not sure I'd pay full price for that experience. I'll probably wait until it hits something closer to 30€

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Someone has invented physical cash:


That expires:

 

[Kvik]

The fact that I only had to scroll through 4 new pages instead of 10 tells me I made the right decision to not lose sleep over it.


So, everything was TLOU, huh. Man, the console makers' strategy of banking on past glories has been Nintendo's modus operandi ever since they were just making hanafuda cards, but at least Nintendo games has competent gameplay. TLOU, hovewer ony has paper-thin gameplay (if you can call it that)

It maybe has been 10 years since I played the original on PS3, but I remember groaning after the umpeteenth time I solved a platforming puzzle which involves Joel taking a ladder from one side of the screen to the next. That certainly got old fast. The heavily scripted encounters are largely a detriment as well. I remember disliking the fact that you can't entirely stealth a level. There must be a forced gunfight at some point which could become rather tedious at higher difficulty levels.

Anyway, I don't plan to replay it but it's good that it's finally on PC, maybe the modding community can do something interesting with it in the future.

Soul Hackers 2 regional pricing (or lack thereof) ... $100 for regular edition. I was thinking $90 but seems like SEGA/Atlus is following the trends of publishers jacking up the price just because they could.

Sorry, Argie Councillors.

I was looking forward to the game, too.

You seem surprised. Did you forget which engine they used for SMT3 HD?

I'd rather they used Unreal Engine like SMTV, easier to mod and stuff, but as long as they don't fuck up the performance...

And there it is! Thanks lashman
