I wonder if Epic is going after the most played games os steam.
 
Yeah, the one on the game is really sucky , I got slowdowns on an i7 :rolleyes:
I'll probably continue with the rest on Blastem.
There are various fanhavks of the games but id recommend playing them as is and then revisiting them with these fanmods or hacks that would add qol stuff or offer a different playing expeirence.
Case i point, the amy fanhacks of sonic 1 to 3.

If u plan on playing sonic 3d blast, do look up the directord cut fanmod as it is best to play the game with it.

So theyre gonna buy Dota and by extension valve next?
 
I don't wanna reveal my weaknesses cuz lord knows those the EGS creeps watch these threads to gauge interests (Sergey even admits it in podcasts apparently), but it's probably pretty easy to guess which announcements would really hurt for me at E3. :face-with-cold-sweat:

I would hate for Epic to spell the end of all that on my preferred platform. :cry: So honestly, E3 got me spooked like with crazy high anxiety.
I fear more for
 
I consider japanese devs largely safe.
Most of them are too slow and uncaring about the platform to quickly jump on the epic train.
I mean heck, look how long it took Phil Spencer to get a handful of japanese devs to release on xbox et all.

I dunno. They don't seem to be doing well financially. I could see most of them doing what the weird gaijin is telling them to, as long as they get to keep the suitcases full of money.

Big thing to consider.

Square Enix’s games do really well in China on Steam. Octopath in particular will be releasing in China for the first time with this upcoming release (previously if you wanted it on switch you had to import) and the Steam release will even have a chinese translation.

I don’t see Square Enix pulling from Steam considering they won’t have anywhere to release their games in China without going through approvals and other platforms like WeGame.
 
Well Epic announced Anno 1800 exclusivity on day of Tropico 6 release.
So they have history of announcements on day "competitors" release something :p

epic might not be that petty ... but Sergey definitely is:

This is how shit the EGS is on a developers side btw, EpicGames literally can't sell their own games on it over how terrible it is

Truth be told, this along with the full delay of features that were planned for April leads me to think that EGS isn't really ready to be anything more than a barebones service. They will probably break the store if they don't take a lot of care while changing even the bare minimum. Shit, imagine the possibility of breaking EGS for a couple hours in the future because they added a game on it. Wouldn't be surprised if in a few months we see signs that the structure that EGS was built in is supposed to be used for Fortnite and a couple of games, not to be a real storefront with more than 30, 40 games available.

Either this or the whole EGS roadmap will be considerably delayed.
 
It seems slowly they're adding more games to the golden week, Resonance of fate is now on sale (wasn't before afaik):


Any news on the performance problems it had?

According to one of those terrible comments in the terrible patch note section on the terrible Steam forums

Thank you. No more stuttering/time stretched sounds! This was my biggest issue.

Now if only you could optimize the streaming of data so the game doesn't stutter when trying to stream in new data. (Built a new PC, 2600x with an RTX 2080 running the game off an NVME drive and it still happens).
 
I think it means: "Valve allowed game I don't like/hate".
If that's all it take, they should just report the games they don't like, and even then games with awful/harmful content is getting removed daily.


I always think that people who complain about "no curation" on Steam has no idea about this:

or simply too lazy to set it up.
People are either lazy by wanting others to do the work for them or are just shitposting at this point.

It seems that whenever they want to update the store, they need to run a number of 'INSERT INTO' sql queries and ftp the game files to their storage server manually.

Can anyone explain to me how some people think Steam has no curation whatsoever? I follow different curators like "Designer plays", "Shmup Life" and "Niche gamer" among other groups, so how are they saying Steam needs to have curation?

Seems pretty stable since the last patch in Feb. If you look at the comments it seems many people reported the last of their issues were solved. One issue that remains is the 4K texture pack can sometimes lead to texture-streaming issues/stutter and pop-in of a sorts I guess. It should only happen when you first load in an area.

I had this problem on the PS3 version in quite a few areas so... maybe it's a remnant of that. Poor Engine or something...
 

but if you look at the actual article it doesn't actually line up with the tweet. Epic does not "clarify" anything. In-fact the article says the opposite that "Epic and Psyonix haven't announced what the "long-term" plans are for Rocket League following its release on the Epic Games Store. "

So I mean, what kinda pony show is this???

I don't think there's even a VN out there that can top that, really. And yes, store description for Alternative below is highly accurate

 
The new Two Point Hospital update has added a mode in which you can complete objectives with your friends to unlock content.
Is anyone currently playing the game? Anyone wants to unlock some of these goals? I mean, doing things leisurely, you don't need to play the game extensively.

I added PhaZZe and blindrhythm to my "in-game projects", since you both showed up on my leaderboards, so you play (or played) the game. I hope you don't mind. :giggle:

What are Extra and Unlimited? Do those 2 Steam entries cover everything?

This was also retro-actively added to sale just today I believe. It is from the father of Harvest Moon.

... though it doesn't seem to be catching on as well. :face-with-cold-sweat:

"prequels" needed to play before Alternative. It's a trilogy.

Emphasis on the NEEDED part. You absolutely NEED the character development and time to get attached for maximum payoff in the end.

Original Muv-Luv is split into two parts, Extra and Unlimited.
Used to be you had to finish two main Extra routes before the Unlimited unlocked, Steam release lets you jump straight into it.
It's not recommended though, Extra lays tonnes of groundwork for the later parts of the trilogy.
Also, it's genuinely funny:

Interesting. Or maybe they're added as part of the Midweek Madness sale?

It's kinda weird that there are 2 sales going on right now on Steam.
 
Meiya best girl. btw.

Problem is people always see Extra, gets the wrong idea, and drops it before all the glorious part.
