Community MetaSteam | October 2022 - The phantom thieves & Friends will take your wallet this month, holy f***

[fantomena]

A Plague Tale 2 is a looker.

Also the game is really good.

My rig survives yet another day.

What almost over 2022! I don’t even have 5 games for my goty list haha

But there has been so many great games this year.

Elden Ring, OlliOlli World, Tinykin, Stray, Neon White, Teardown to name a few.

And we still have Bayo 3, GoW Ragnarok, CoD, Tactics Ogre, Callisto Protocol and many more left.

Good news is that my 4090 came in and got a new Fractal Design Torrent and MSI PSU to go along with it. The bad news is that the gpu has loud coil whine. At least I can play Judgement at 4K/120hz.

 

[inky]

People still trusting Iron Galaxy with their PC ports? lol

 

[fokkusu]

Dock arrived yay

 

[ZKenir]

If this skips PC I won't understand given both Cyber Sleuth and Survive performed well, but hey, Japanese Randomness strikes again, I guess.

Waiting for western confirmation before I get disappointed but already outlooks not so great for some of us.

I trust Bandai Namco

Do you pause, or cancel?
If you pause, you maybe get an offer when trying to pause again (or cancel).
If you cancel, they send you an offer sometime during the month.

I used to pause, but after they switched the Choice model up again and added the discount restrictions I always cancel. Can't forget to pause and accidentally buy a month I don't want that way.

From what I noticed, I get an offer for a discount if I try to pause for 2 consecutive months or more. Then it resets if I take the offer. I don't recall ever getting anything if I bought-in for a month then tried to pause the next month.

So I preloaded The Rat's of us 2 on Gamepass, then it requested an update of 45 GB, and now that I want to launch it it wants to download 45 GB again.

Fuck this.

[Mivey]

I'm too much of a sucker for back paddles (and symmetric stick layouts) to not eventually get these. I'll wait for proper integration into Steam Input, though.

Crash 4 is gonna be fuckin expensive isn't it

So Iron Galaxy did f-up Uncharted port. Not as bad as Batman AK but game is technically not even on PS5 levels (worse draw distance, no HDR and bugged motion blur).

 

[C-Dub]

Sony having a laugh here. Is it made of gold?

Lmao of course they did. Here's hoping that's the last Sony contract they'll be getting.
Hopefully by the time I'm ready to buy it they'll have patched it up a bit.

 

[Censored]

Sony got crazy. You can buy a Series S with this.
Really what the hell happened on Sony XDXD, it's hard to find a company who used to be the leader making so bad and anti-costumers decisions.

Whats peoples tactics for Vampire Survivors? Ive just started playing and am pretty hooked.

Is it better to pick 2-3 weapons and try to level them up as much as possible or just go for a load of random ones?

So far i like garlic as it kills the bats and i can just run through the groups of them collecting blue blips.

 

[Li Kao]

I’m having trouble determining how good Marvel Snap is. Is this a farce ? This is just super dumb. I didn’t know this was location based like some famous game I forgot the name of were you ended up perpetually doing basic arithmetics.
Then again, depending on the locked cards to come it could be decent ?

But will there even be a to come ? Even the MTX is shit. I understand that they had some backlash on it, but thanks but no thanks, I’m good without… err… colored card borders ?

Again, I don’t know what this shit is. But hey, it will at least do for a couple of sofa chill sessions.

Oh yeah, on the bright side it plays super fast. But there is not enough meat on this bone to warrant analysis paralysis.

All the weapons can be evolved so you need to try to build a specific set so they can be more effective. For example, you need the garlic and the heart item so it can evolve.

Lol Activision forgot to launch Crash 4 on Steam XD

 

[Xclash]

Lol Activision forgot to launch Crash 4 on Steam XD

Gonna take a while for Activision to remember how to release games on Steam again.

 

[NarohDethan]

Crash 4 40 bucks, could be worse

 

[lashman]

Crash 4 40 bucks, could be worse

full price, no discount, no regional pricing

 

[CommodoreKong]

Lol Activision forgot to launch Crash 4 on Steam XD

Probably good they launched Crash before CoD then.

 

[fokkusu]

Blah will buy it sub 20 but not full price

 

[lashman]

HEY EVERYONE!!!

 

[Mor]

I trust Bandai Namco

Same, here's hope :_(

 

[sprinkles]

only 1€ discount this month, and it's one I really want..

Got no discount offer, so I I had to pay "full" price for Deathloop

 

[sanhora]

This site Japanese only? I'm interested in backing but can't read Japanese and would interested to see what other projects people are making.

Yeah, never backed anything there but the site seems to be JP only. You can get the gist with google translation and it says they support the usual visa/mastercard but I didn't actually bother trying to register to see if there's some extra hoops you need to jump through to make an account.

Who would've thought? Their Spyro port is also bad, Crash is just okay.

 

[jads653]

I wonder if they will do a discount again for owners of the non remakes. Crysis 1 Remake was so cheap that I could not resist.

 

[Parsnip]

I had exactly 1 issue with the Spyro port.

 

[Dragon1893]

Feels great to be back in the Plague Tale world and it's more beautiful than ever.
And demanding...

I have a 2060 and a ryzen 5 3400G and at first I thought I could hold 60fps at 1080p and medium settings with DLSS but some areas are very demanding and were causing some big drops so I locked it to 30 through nvidia control panel and used the extra headroom to increase settings a bit.
Not a big fan of 30fps, but frame drops, even when slight, drive me crazy. I hate that I've become so sensitive to this.

 

[Ganado]

I had exactly 1 issue with the Spyro port.

For me, the thing that ruined it was 30fps. I know it's unlockable, but atleast one level is unbeatable with it due to some physics being tied to framerate (specifically Spyro's movement, he doesn't jump and high and falls faster on higher framerates), and I raged for a long time trying to beat it, not really understanding why it was so hard. I do appreciate the option being there, but some notice or testing would've been nice.

 

[Dragon1893]

I have a soft spot for Crysis 2, had a good time with it back in the day.

I hope there is a way to disable the Chromatic Aberration in this one.

[Madventure]

only 1€ discount this month, and it's one I really want..

Steel Series app is still doing a "discount code" for new members if you want to create a new account that gives you the humble bundle for 50% off
At least it was yesterday, I got a friend to do it and traded him stuff from really old bundles I had he wanted

Baffling that a ue4 game has this problem really. And not even a single patch was released IIRC.

Steam's success must be maddening for sleazy publisher executives (and Tim Sweeney). "We treat our customers like shit, we put the bare minimum of effort into our services and we use every dirty trick in the book and they still shop from a service where they feel respected? WHAT IS STEAM'S SECRET".

 

[didamangi]

I hope this chromatic abomination fad is gone ASAP. jesus wept.
