I played Forgotten City a bit when it was a mod, and on XBXGP, but I wouldn't mind having it on Steam.
Decent price, but what's up with the blurry screenshots? I hope this doesn't mean the graphics are mediocre.
Denuvo and EA App are a turn-off for me as well.
Nice, I have both The Forgotten City and Patch Quest on my wishlist.Humble Choice for September 2023

Yeah, or the shady contract was for a four month exclusivity window
The intro section runs pretty good now btw.
I refunded Jedi Survivor on release because it ran like dogshit, and I tolerate a lot.
To be honest, since its release I’ve basically washed my hands of Star Wars. Sick of it.
So that’s a lost sale for EA. Oh well.

Oh hell yeah. Forgotten City is really good and I don't think it got the play it deserved for being such a cool idea. Definitely hope more people check that one out. It isn't perfect but this is a great way to see a really awesome idea.

I mean its just a stand alone version of the mod iirc
It's a complete remake/overhaul with many changes. The script is twice as big. Not to imply it's arguably better but they certainly put effort in the new package.Steam Workshop::The Forgotten City

If you plan on grabbing the Humble, don't forget to at least threaten to skip a month.
PATCH NOTES

Based on impressions from the other forum, it either makes it crash more, or doesn't do anything, or makes it somewhat better. So basically, the same as the past 5 patches. They're just shuffling who gets to experience it at a stable FPS it seems like.
Edit: I can't remember if I uninstalled it or not, if not I will update it and see, since I basically dumped it after the main quest because it was so awful to play on a big TV with the performance issues. Also the combat design and platforming design is worse than the first one so not sure any performance patch will help that.
Will play this when it's on Gamepass/EA Play. Will probably buy it on Steam when it's on 90% discount like the first one.PATCH NOTES

Got the $4 discount, lucky roll.
Forgotten City is on my wishlist, I think I'll bookmark the bundle in case I can find some room in my budget to grab it.
Also very curious about the Jedi patch, I don't expect DF to cover it but maybe they'll have a section in DF Direct for some impressions. DLSS is nice too, assuming it's well implemented, which I guess at this point isn't a given with this game at least.

I'm guessing that Phil, Todd and Co are happy with Starfields reception?
Overall (yes there is some performance issues that hopefully get some updates in the future) I would say people are liking the game.
It's sadly not the huge hit that they were hoping for (critically acclimated game) but it's still fun.
On Steam it has very positive reviews.

Just checked and it's kind of amazing it's landing at 88% recommended on Steam. Isn't that OC score too?
Interesting coincidence.
Interesting coincidence.
That's actually kind of surprising. I was sure the game would get murdered in the Steam reviews for performance issues and bugs. People must be genuinely enjoying the experience. I know I am. I don't subscribe to the "It gets good after X number of hours" idea because I've personally been liking it from the start but I have to admit it gets more addictive as you get farther into the game and do more quests and visit more planets and unlock more game systems.
High 80s seems to be what the game feels like.
I tried out the new Star Wars update and the game still feels heavy at some points (I will try to further change updates, from what I remember Alex from DF said you had to restart the fan evrytime you tried to change the graphics settings or something like that)
One of the big improvements that I have noticed are cutscenes. Before they use to stutter like crazy when they were changing the scene. The only "minor" issue now is that when it loads the next scene that you notice rag doll physics for about 1-2 seconds and then it's normal. Which is better than what it use to be before. Luckily the rag doll stuff only applies to object and not people (if Kal has goggles around his neck, they bounce around when they show him for about 1 second.
By the way from ahR I remember the patch notes said that all the console versions will have the cutscenes locked to 30fps even though the XSX and PS5 now have a performance mode that is locked at 60fps now. I don't blame them for doing that since cut screens look weird at above 30fps. At 30fps they looked cinematic but in a few moments it would go to 44fps or so on my PC and they would just look weird. Maybe it just looks like that since you are not in control of your Cal In those moments.

By the way I'm guessing that Sony fans don't understand how refunds on Steam work. Maybe that's partially due to the fact that Sony is very stingy with their refund policy. From what I remember you can only get a refund so long as you haven't downloaded the game at all and for pre-orders you have to refund it a few days before it comes out. Nintendo has by far the worst refund policy.
I did a refund for Starfield but that's was just so that I could pre-load the game and play it right away instead of having to download over 100GB of data when the early access period started. People buy so that they can also test their rigs and then refund the game potentially.

Time will tell. Xbox execs were billing this as their most important game ever or at the very least since Halo 3. They're expecting a generation defining hit for them and obviously that didn't happen critically (it's gonna get smoked in goty this year) but I guess it could still boost their other metrics like gamepass players. We'll see what happens.
It’s an old game, I played it on my 2017 MacBook just fine so I’m sure the deck plays it nicely.
Looking like a pretty decent Choice. Honestly this whole year has been decent-to-good, at least for me.
They finally fixed it!
They kept the incredibly stupid naming format but hey, at least the games are in the right order now. I'll take what I can get.

To some extent, I would think that giving people who are willing to pay more to play your game early the opportunity to do so might help with your initial review scores.
All that season pass garbage will make me stay away from the game. When will these companies learn what their customers want?
The only reason why publishers keep pushing that season pass garbage is because plenty of people keep buying it.
For me as well. Most games in Choice were on my wishlist.
I do have more than 800 games on my wishlist tho 
Radeon 7700 XT and 7800 XT reviews:
The 7800 XT seems to trade blows with the 6800 XT depending on the game and review, in some games it's better, but in others it's worse.
While the 7700 XT seems to trade blows with the 6800 non-XT.

Bethesda doesn't care about PC. Just look at the UI they shipped in Skyrim, a literal list for everything.
They know that people will buy their games regardless, that mods will make their games far more playable and enjoyable and keep the games fresh and interesting for years, generating a steady revenue stream for decades. So since you get PC for free, they can just focus on the consoles and let the PCs community do their job for them.
Maybe a bit exaggerated , but I think that's roughly what higher-ups at BGS think about the PC platform
Both Starfield and BG3 need to wait, decided to go ahead and continue with TotK.
Also, based on Steam CCU and Twitch viewers, I think the early access launch was a mistake.

Currently having a blast with the System Shock remake.
Feels good to not give a shit about Todd's games.

Usually this sort of dismal performance creates at least some review bombing, however.
Maybe it really is an act up supreme sentiment manipulation, by charging so much for early access they have evaded the negative community backlash?
Well you shouldn't because SS remake is absolutely outstanding.Currently having a blast with the System Shock remake.
