Think only thing I'll pick up this sale will be 428 due to the steep discount.
I'd like for my backlog to get a little more under control before giving in outright to the sales temptation in my wishlist

The only games I bought were Danganronpa V3 (well, it was actually cheaper for me to buy the bundle for 2 and V3 since I already owned 1, lmao), Tekken 7 Rematch Edition, and Valkyria Chronicles 4.
...to the backlog they go!

Steam's off-topic review bomb filter for Rocket League:
===
I very much believe that Steam's user reviews are extremely useful. They've helped me decide on countless purchases. An overall score of "Mixed" has never swayed me away from a game I really wanted. Lately, I've been reading in other places how Steam should abolish user reviews because of review bombing. I definitely think that's the wrong mindset to have. Anything that can help the customer make an informed decision is a good thing.

But is it really off topic? It's about the uncertainty of the game on steam. Very much something I would want to know before buying it.
You can turn it off and have it show everything. I do.
The review bombing RL is actually pretty ontopic TBH.

Yeah, it's definitely a gray area.
In general, one thing I wish they didn't filter are complaints about DRM since it can affect the performance of a game.

I'm earnestly curious to see if Psyonix will actually get around to making something other than Rocket League now that Epic owns 'em, or if they're just going to keep riding that DLC train forever. Rocket League no longer being on the Steam store is a bummer, no doubt, but a new game from the developers of Rocket League will be difficult to not be tempted by,
If the game gets removed from Steam and EGS doesn't have workshop support in time. Will that kill workshop? Seems ontopic to me.
Holy shit this is coming out? Sonic After/Before the Sequel is amazing and I loved the first one. Definitely down for anything he makes.
Especially if his games keep having banging soundtracks. Day fucking one regardless.

Happy Humble Monthly day.
Fingers crossed the new early unlocks will be something I want.

It will always be something that someone wants
I also hope it's something that I want
Let me help you ease the decision by showing you these screenshots.
I still need to complete the hard skirmishes DLC. They actually have pretty good challenges which require us to be creative with unit deployments.
Let me Support you in your endeavor by adding some screenshots of my own:
Ok, I give up with One Finger Death Punch 2 
Thr game's difficulty curve is practically flat all the way through to the point of monotony until the very end when it becomes cliff like.
The final levels are just plain nutty in sheer enemy numbers and speed, with no option to use the revenge tokens that have been pointless until now.
Don't think I'll be even able to finish this one sadly

According to Microsoft watcher Paul Thurrott, UWP is "game over":
Thurrott: It's "Game Over", "UWP will disappear" - MSPoweruser
Let's hope this also means that Microsofts upcoming games will be released as unencrypted win32 games as well.

In the April thread (link) I shared my discovery of Splitgate a "Portal meets Unreal Tournament" competitive shooter.
Well, I subscribed to their mailing list and I just got an e-mail about an open beta on Steam!
Here's the link to the store page:
Edit: it's 17 gigs, for those who might care/wonder.

My goodness, I might actually buy their PC offerings now!
IIRC they said a while back they were planning on moving away from UWP, at least for gaming. I wonder if the Win10 version of MCC will be UWP.
Perhaps the WinStore version. The Steam version supports Windows 7 so that one won't be UWP. Still no word about game file encryption tho.
And yes, there are rumors that Microsoft is working on Game Core for gaming on both PC and Xbox consoles. It's supposed to be based on UWP, but that's all we know.
There is (sadly) no way in heck MicroSoft gives up completely the idea or work on a unified program base that works on both PC and Xbox. I think the idea is that they will simply make a game once, and it'll work on both without the need for too much tinkering.
Really sucks for those of us who like to hook games with RTS and ReShade, stuff like that. Last UWP game I played was Gears of War 4, and on the tech side it was pretty good, lots of options and stuff, but it just feels weird to be restricted like that...

Under the new leadership, Microsoft seems to be moving away from the concept of having to own their own OS and making everyone use their devices and whatnot. They'll not abandon Windows as long as it's a major cash cow, but as time goes on, I assume their cloud and services business will become more and more important.
I basically see them slowly diminish in importance, like IBM before them. Never going away, but at the same time, little more than a historical footnote.

Next Monthly reveal might be Call of Duty Black Ops 4
Too many months with non Steam game early reveal if this is true

What a good month to pause one's subscription.

Pass. I only care about Black Ops for Zombies. This crap was bad enough when they gave the BO3 starter edition.

it's probably true ... the game is basically dead on PC ... not being on steam only made it worse when it comes to player numbers
Humble reminding me I have too many games to play and I shouldn't be adding more.
My picks this sale. Maybe I'll get something else, but this is it for now.

It'll be free on Blizzard.net a few months later. It better have at least 2 other reveals that would be more worthy than it.

Would love to hear their definitions of open, because what they're preaching in practice sure seems a lot like the opposite.
I can't even be bothered to read it to be honest.
Best take the Epic talk to the EGS thread, peeps :X
Summary:
Buzzwords, buzzwords, marketing, buzzwords, marketing, marketing, marketing, buzzwords, marketing -- multiplied until 1000 words.
Since my Xbox Elite controller is falling apart... I have gone back to using the Steam Controller a bit more for games like Warframe and Division 2 and I really, really want a new iteration from Valve. The aiming is so good but the ergonomics aren't that great for me and it also seems to show a bit of wear already.
Same. It feels like something that could really be amazing in a "mark 2". But Valve doesn't seem to want to iterate on much anymore.
