Well at least we know P5R won't have the base price of 70USD

Yeah, SEGA will charge 50 usd for a 6 year old game instead

Well, now that I have a small break, let's talk about what has happened in the PC scene in the last week regarding Steam and EGS.
After what we have seen in this non-E3 season there are a few things clear:
first one: A lot of developers and publisher have completely ignored EGS as a platform while they keep pushing Steam as the PC platform. Atlus, S-E (hell, this one even featured Steam Deck in their ad) and a long etc... It's absolutely amazing how many "impossible" games are coming to Steam lately, holy SMOKES.
Second one: Looks like third party exclusivities from Epic are almost done. the biggest ones were precisely contracts pre-covid like Witchfire or Goat Simulator, so it is a good sign that we won't have to watch this as often as in 2019. Covid sure changed a lot of stuff.

Firs this game meaning anything to some of you?
won’t be a surprise, they’re charging 40 for Sonic Colors.
Think we don't need to worry about that since they confirmed all the previously released DLC is included in the base game
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing. Did some google research. The game was released in 1998 and now a complete version to steam. Very intrigued.
Honestly, buy this game (or any other indies) over FF7R.
Welp. A friend gifted me a key for FF7R as a thanks for helping him out with his new PC build a few weeks back.
Would be rude not to take it.

one down.
Now, where is NEO: TWEWY and Kingdom Hearts?

Neo is the only exclusive I really wanted, but I guess it's a full year exclusive and we shall see what will happen in September.one down.

Not for me (XP Bronze Tier)
Hoping for other Key Resellers to step up. Not paying 57€ for DLC.
Why should I buy FF7R?
Timmy already paid for my copy. Thank Tim

And yet it's the #1 top seller. I love seeing people treated like trash and flock to the breadcrumbs those who treat them this way throw them from time to time. And then they wonder why they are continually treated the way they are... it's an unsolvable mystery.
I'm actually surprised I haven't seen the "we have to buy this so they bring KH to steam" argument yet.
Are the Farming Simulator games more enjoyable with a shifter?
on 1:14. the wall of games show Tiny Tinas Wonderlands...which isnt sold on Steam yet. hm. i wonder if thats one of the sneaky things they do sometimes (like, Mirrors Edge Catalyst showed up in the reveal of the new Library before EA games were back on Steam)...or just a mistake.
Pathfinder Kingmaker. Excess. Everything was excess. At least a game were you could be excused to be excessive and hesitate between worst CRPG ever and best CRPG ever.
230+ hours, finishing line. Not even sure I will be able to continue on normal. Not even sure I will be able to fight the true boss or unlock the true ending.
EXCESS.
I remember a time when Persona 3 looked like a really niche thing with its 100+ hours. And here we are. Help.

Q2, so it's supposed to be released this month:

Thank God for that extra GMG discount for gold members. Stacked on top of the base discount, it brought the price of FFVIIR down to a level sane enough for me to bite. Was kind of hoping it wouldn't cost more than ~50 or so but I'm not gonna lose sleep over a 10 bucks difference.
FF7, Neo White... and a steam sale ? Son...
I do remember Origins being frustrating at times. Legends was better balanced I think.
Out of EA. I have been eyeing it for a long time. May pick it up during the summer sale alongside other games.
So for those asking about performance on FFVIIR.
So as a base point, I am running a Ryzen 5 3600 (not the X version), 36GB of Ram and a GTX1070. Windows 11.
Played the first hour, so up to the end of the Mako Reactor section, so not hit any of the really open sections.
First problem, and in this day and age a major bugbear for me, you can't access the options for the game from the main menu. In fact you have to wait to get access to the in game menu before you can access them. The options themself could be described as functional if I was feeling generous. It still has the issue where the main icons are always the PS icons and then the keyboard/controller prompt is underneath it.
The game looks great and seems to maintain a solid framerate on my system. Generally I wasn't expecting much out of my system specs but it looks and plays well. HOWEVER this is all ruined by the hitching. For me it started during the opening cutscene and I will say this is where it is the most notable so far. I am guessing this was the caching issue. However after a little while this seemed to ease off. Now I haven't reached some of the more open areas where I believe the problem is more prevailant.
Outside of the hitching I would say that it is a barebones but functional port. For what I actually paid (I had some steam bucks left over that meant I was only paying around £25) I will tolerate it. For the current pricing with the discount I would say it's too expensive. And for the actuall asking price once the discount drops off then all I can say is S-E can fuck right off.

XV peaked at about 30k. Looking at the 7R numbers, it'll be lucky to peak at 5k this weekend.
Seems like the hitching can be improved by forcing the game to run in dx11 instead of dx12, by using the param -d3d11 in the launch options in the game's steam properties. Graphically you lose the possibility of using HDR (if you have an HDR screen), but other than that there seems to be no differences other than better performance?

You've probably noticed that this port of the game stutters quite a bit in cutscenes, thankfully there's a simple fix....

Cheers. I knew there was a way to play in DX11 but foolishly expected it to be a menu option. Will give this a try later.
Got to say Useless is being generous there.

There were always going to be some people buying it and the $ price at least isn't completely insane like € and other regional prices so I'm not surprised.
Question is how long it's gonna stay at the top and I'm curious if it makes it on the weekly top seller list.
But also the CCU numbers are horrendous.
Although the real peak is probably gonna be on Sunday since it's a lot to download.
But to put the current numbers in perspective anyway:
holy shit, getting beat by an atelier game is just wow (and no offense intended to that franchise)There were always going to be some people buying it and the $ price at least isn't completely insane like € and other regional prices so I'm not surprised.

But the put the current numbers in perspective anyway:
The peak concurrent numbers are likely gonna reach higher than Ryza 2, since not only FF7R is a large download, it also released at an unusual time of the day, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't reach 10k, after all the exclusivity deals and the ridiculous price.
Already crazy that it surely won't beat a Tales game, honestly.
It may end up not even beating Zestiria (9.6k) and Berseria (8k), let alone Arise.
