Community MetaSteam | April 2024 - Definitely there's no rest for the wicked.

[Jav]

Cities Skylines 1 was great and 2 is just a hot piece of garbage. I'm used to the usual beating Paradox does to its customers with dlc and shitty decisions (and I play a lot of their games) but every choice made since development of Skylines 2 has been a fuck you to its players.

I don't know why some people are so lenient with them or why they give them so much benefit of the doubt (well, I know because I was one of them in the past) but since they started to grow and have become more mainstream they have adopted the worst aspects of the market. Just look at the reviews of ANY recent DLC they released especially in games like EU4 since they started charging 20 euros for DLC.

And don't get me started with ditching Steam Workshop, a feature all Paradox games thrived on and now you have to use their shitty system to get a mod for one of their worst games to date and I'm sure it won't be the last one where they try something like this. And I say this as someone who, if you look my top 10 most played games on steam, 3 are from paradox and I have dozens of dlc for their games but their policy has become so overkill that I can't go a month without being announced an overpriced dlc with less and less content.

Baldur's Gate 3 - Community Update #26 Evil Endings, New Beginnings - Steam News

Hey gang, It’s been a whirlwind few months here at the Larian castle, attending some of the biggest awards ceremonies in our industry, and we are absolutely humbled by the recognition we’ve received from our players and our peers. As you might have seen, last week we attended the BAFTA Games...

store.steampowered.com

Larian is working on two projects, using their own IP.

“I don’t know if we’re going to pull it off, but looking at our narrative, visual and gameplay plans, I think what we’re working on now will be our best work ever. I get excited like a kid watching the key imagery, want to show it to everyone now and grumble in frustration at having to wait until it’s actually all working. Yes, it’s hype but it’s hype because it really looks and feels good.” - Excited Swen, April 17th 2024.

Not going to lie, No Rest for the Wicked has me very curious. A diablo like that sets to reinvent stuff I would love to see, but souls like aspects not so much

Ever since D:OS they have my full support in whatever they do.
I kinda wish one of those projects will be something similar to that D.OS2 tactics game that was canceled a while back. I'd love to see a take from them focused purely in tactical combat and arena manipulation without heavy rpg mechanics. Would be fun.

Larian, please give me Dragon Commander 2 and double down on the dating Sim aspects of the game.

Also I find it funny how they couldn't delay CS2 on the PC release and went ahead and released paid for DLC on a heavily compromised game. But nice and easy to delay the console versions instead.

PC GAMERS CANT HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT IF THEY WANT DAY 1 PC THEY'LL GET A LAUNCHER

Some fucking weirdos about lmao

A contingent of Playstation diehards still resents the fact that Steam gets Sony exclusives. They are asking for a Playstation launcher because they know PC gamers don't want it.

Yep, it's obvious. It should be actioned but whatever.

I was instantly interested in it until I realized I would suck at playing it. Shame, cause it looks gorgeous.

Mixed reviews, but the negatives look mostly related to early access. Hopefully they'll sort it out -- I'm rooting for this one.

The Crew Motorfest has Steam cheevos. Did Ubi change their minds?

Does Ubi have a mind to change? My impression of them is that they are just doing random shit for no reason.

There are not that many things that feel as good as having an idea, drawing it then 3D printing it and iterating on it and seeing it work as you imagined it in the end I have feeling that by the end of this year i will upgrade my Ender 3 V2 to something like Creality K1 (if it gets multi color support). Also 3D printing is such a good addition to woodworking

I think it's mostly the devs on this one- Ivory Tower had Steam achievements in their last game on Steam (The Crew 2).

 

[Censored]

It's out, seems qureate learned it's better to release the game the same day of Switch release ^^ and not wait few weeks or month and get the Switch game leaked on downloaded sites and be played on emulators.

 

[Alextended]

Does Kingdom Come II seem a bit more stylized rather than going for ultra photo realism like you'd think it would when the original was like it was or is it me?

 

[spindoctor]

Longer reveal trailer



Map is twice as big as the first game.
Story is more 'epic', more grand and not localized like the first one.
250 people have worked on it for almost 6 years.

My anxiety has been going into overdrive.
Even when I'm gaming sometimes I can't focus. Anyway, been playing The Walking Dead Definitive Edition. I loved the original back in 2012 but never got around to playing the final season. Looking forward to playing through the whole thing this time. Played episode 3 of the first season yesterday and that shit hit me hard. Having a son around the same age really makes that scene hit.

Do you happen to do exercise? Going for walks improves my mental state by a lot.

 

[prudis]

Man, how did they go from the slamdunk of Cities Skylines to the unmitigated disaster that has been Skylines 2.

more Paradox oversght?

They wanted to make sure so that the game won't be taken down

In general I don't play Diablo like games but I got No Rest for the Wicked because I love the artstyle and it's from Moon Studio (I absolutely loved Ori games). I only played maybe an hour switching between Steam Deck native and streaming on Deck from PC. To me game is ok. Judging stamina and few other things after an hour or two in RPG is always kinda stupid to me. Until progression starts to kick in you really can't judge many things. And to me game is not as punishing as Souls games and kinda not as hard as them either so calling this Souls like is bit strange to me. Overall I think that this will be absolutely awesome game when they do full release.

 

[Li Kao]

Big strategy energy !
But Age of Wonders 4 is still a little on the pricey side
And Rimworld is Rimworld, never cheap

Decided to buy it as well, excited to play it when I get home later. It looks amazing, and i loved the Ori games.

A bit worried about how the present build is apparently quite demanding, will be sure to keep the airconditioning on blast lol.

Also very excited for the Eiyuden full game to drop this weekend, I already redeemed the backer key, can't wait to get stuck in! 2024 is truly the year the JRPG came back for me.

I bought No Rest for the Wicked through their private division store, which surprisingly follows Steam's regional pricing. ~$16 with the cohhcarnage affiliate link so that's nice, $2 cheaper than steam.

Almost 2 hours in and just killed the first boss. I like it. Game is quite forgiving so far for a souls like. Exploration and finding a way to a treasure is satisfying.

Game is very taxing. Still drops below 60 fps at 1440p (7500f+3080) sometimes when the camera zoom out or there are heavy fog and transparency effect. DLSS will probably help a lot when they implement it. It's in EA and they're acknowledging the performance issue so not a big deal ATM.

I still don't get it what is Souls like in this game. Punishment for death is minimal, enemies are not that hard, there is so much more story, world is kinda more vibrant...

It's just a catch all phrase for me for games that use stamina bar for attack, dodging, blocking. Weight based rolling and similar bonfire mechanics really.

Only slightly pricier than Steam standard regional pricing, I'm impressed.

Been playing FF7 remake and it runs surprisingly well on the deck, except in cutscenes where it can become a choppy mess. Really liking the game but wow, it's not a RPG at all, at least not what I expected. But still really enjoying it for what it is!

 

[Ascheroth]

Oh my god, I FINALLY got color control to work on my LG OLED TV after buying the service remote lmao

Hopefully I can cancel the remote now on Amazon

Anyway, I've disabled the annoying as hell auto dimming

It's the most RPG the series has been since the ATB days, it just takes a little while for the combat to open up. You need a full 3 person party to really start seeing the depth it has and how it allows for countless builds and materia loadouts but that doesn't happen for like 5 chapters.

Rebirth is better in that regard once you finish the opening you're thrown out into the world with a full party (and then some). It's kind of overwhelming honestly.

just people being weird with "stabina bar" = "soulsike"

 

[fantomena]

Don't throw words like nazi around like that. Nazis systematically hunted down, killed, tortured and exprimented on jews, socialists, socialdemocrats, communists, gays and people with different disabilities. They also wanted everything to be owned by the state.

If Vavra supports all that, yes, he is a nazi.

 

[Kal1m3r0]

To be fair the combat does feel like a soulslike, you have to consider positioning and timing for dodges and parries, as well as stamina management. The difficulty is not really a requisite in my opinion and punishment for dying has been minimal since DS3

As far as I remember there were complaints about the absence of black people in the game and they responded it was because of historical accuracy, don't know if there's anything else for calling them nazis but otherwise it's quite an exaggeration and I think it's also detrimental to the cause of actual anti-fascism

Takes a lot less to be counted as a Nazi to be honest, to say one has to have a death camp up and running to be counted as a nazi is absurd.

With that said, I have no idea if that dev is or isn't a nazi or in what degree they have rightwing ideas.
