although to be fair, that was the 2021 EGS release flowchartAnother one
here's hoping the changes they're making are really gonna simplify everything. Its such a shame what they did with these games. Amazing games, horrible release strategy.
I'll probably be playing it along side the new Dead Space in January and the month after, as that's a much shorter game (unless they changed much from the original).January was booked along time ago.
Nothing else ever stood a chance

Caved in and bought Hitman 3 from GMG, while it's still "cheap" before the price increase
Without FES, thoughJanuary was booked along time ago.

And there are rumors of a full remake in dev. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense if they have yet to release this version. But Atlus and sense.
Yeah I just put it at current rate, usually sell pretty quickly .

Typical strategy of selling us the old game again before announcing the remake.Without FES, though

I suspect that the remake won't have FeMC so that will probably remain unique to this version, making it worth checking out. This is just speculation of course.
I wish I could turn some of the crap I have in my steam inventory to gems.
I'm adding my own no-DRM patch to their game, but it's fine, they have exclusivity deal technology to win back any loss, if any.Atomic Heart

January is just a slight break from gaming before stacked February to complete unfished business IRL and regain strength to beat all those games that are released that month.
i would like to congratulate Hitman 3 for winning the "we won this prize because people who haven't played the game voted for us" award
hitman 3's pc vr is easily the most tragic thing, what a shame that it lost to something like bonelab

4070 Ti reviews, in the computerbase review, at 1440p it's comparable to the 3090 Ti on average, but at 4K it's comparable to the regular 3090, I'm guessing because of the relatively low memory bandwidth.
Gamers Nexus, a couple of games that have particularly bad results at 4K, one that is between 3080 and 3090 (Total War Warhammer 3), and one that is worse than 3080 (Strange Brigade). Most results are around 3090~3090 Ti, but I guess the low memory bandwidth really hurts it in certain cases.

Yeah January seems surprisingly empty. I have a couple of smaller games wishlisted and I guess I might pick up Fire Emblem but otherwise it's barren. February on the other hand is ridiculously stacked and I'll have to skip some stuff that looks interesting. Right now I'm thinking I'll get Hogwarts, Atomic Heart and Ryza 3 and I'm 50-50 on Company of Heroes 3. I actually think some stuff will get pushed back from Feb otherwise some games are going to tank hard.
I know this is meant to be a joke but this shit is still too complicated. A friend of mine gifted me a copy of Hitman 3 as a troll present because he knows I want nothing to do with ex-EGS games. So I was looking into it and I cannot tell what all content I'm still missing. The DLC list on the Steam page is super confusing with nonsense names.Another one
Anyway so if someone understands what's happening with Hitman with this upcoming change, can you please answer a question for me. I own Hitman 1 and 2 on Steam with (almost) all the DLC. They said that they are delisting those games and making their content playable in Hitman 3. Do I need to import the content from those games into Hitman 3 to continue to have access to them? Will I lose the ability to play the games I already own when this change happens? In theory that should never happen but I don't know if they're shutting down the servers for 1 & 2 when they integrate everything into 3.
You poor, dumb bastard.
I'm so sorry.
For real though it was my #5 this year.
Not something I'd suggest to general audiences, but having a sense of your taste history, r3n4ud, I think you'll enjoy it just fine.
The 4070 Ti feels like it would have been a solid 4070 (non-Ti) if it had better memory bandwidth (and much lower price).
more or less, alas - nvidia gonna nvidia
I believe you can keep Hitman 1 and 2 in Steam library as is if you have them prior the World of Ass change. No guarantees for online features...
You might wanna start and login to Hitman 3 once so you get those DLCs "activated" to Steam under Hitman 3 that you are eligible from H1 and H2. No idea how it will work after the change.
Also you can optionally import Hitman 2 progress if you had any to Hitman 3 (one time) via IOI web page. It prompts that on the first H3 start.

Bought the H3 standard edition for now. Not sure will I get the deluxe content + 7 sins content since it's mostly not interesting. Maybe after the World of Ass migration in deep discount..
Also funny fact. Hitman 3 is lower size than Hitman 2, so saved some disk space

Happy new year all (yes I'm late )
Remember I said I'd get a new build soon? Hmm, not so sure about that right now when the Steam Deck is impressing me so much.
Hooking up a Steam Deck to a TV? Works a damn treat. Bloody marvelous. So I may hold off until I'm feeling the pinch a bit more.
I barely played any 2022 games this past year but I will go to bat for one in particular.

Just sold my Series X (400€). Just one left. ^^.
Great way to start the new year.

Scrolling down my first thought was "why is there a guide to rewiring circuit breakers in here"Another one
Turns out that's less complicated than buying Hitman.
I’ve made learning materials about tax avoidance schemes less confusing than that flowchart.
I think is funny that when PC gaming is at its best when it comes to software (Xbox, Sony, and multiple Japanese developers are supporting the platform) the PC hardware market it's at its worst in terms of value. $800 for a 70 series card is laughable. The Steam Deck is such a breath of fresh air in this absolutely unaffordable era of PC gaming.
$800 for a 70 series card with the memory bus width of a 60 series card.
It only has slightly more memory bandwidth than a 1080 Ti, a card that released with a MSRP of $700 nearly 6 years ago.
I think it would need to use like 100W less power for it to be a perfect 400€ card (though I guess something close to that could be achievable with undervolting and a slight underclock?).
My word, Sonic Frontiers sucks ass.
Why does a Sonic game have a skill tree? Why does it have a boring open world littered with icons on a map you need to slowly unlock parts of?
It wears some of AAA gaming’s worst sins with a shit-eating grin. Utterly soulless and devoid of any originality.
A shame because the actual Sonic bits (the short “Cyberspace” levels) are as good as the levels in the Adventure games. It’s just the shit they’ve chosen to encrust those levels in that’s the problem.

I enjoyed the open world, clearing small platforming challenges to get collectables, and I also enjoyed most of the mini bosses. The collectables challenges in the first island they can hardly be called challenges though and also the open world offers no replay value atm. Overall it's not for everyone, some people like the open world and others don't. :x
The biggest problem I have with it is the aesthetic of the open world, it's just too generic.
The cyberspace stages, I don't like how Sonic feels to control in them, I ended getting used to it, but it's just so jarring how different they are to control when compared to the open world. I also don't like how short they are, I prefer 2~3 mins stages over these mostly 1 min or less ones.
My overall opinion of the game is that it's very, very flawed, but I enjoyed playing it.
I feel bad for saying to you that it was good but I genuinely enjoyed it
The only way I can remotely explain Nvidias position this gen is that they feel bad for AMD and want them to get more of the market share (for newly sold GPUs) back. If you know that you will face a glut of old GPUs from the 3000s series, then why go out of your way to make the new 4000 cards so incredibly unattractive to large parts of the market?
