But the DLC is a whole ass game.A DLC does not deserve a whole ass GOTY slot. But Dorito Pope gonna Dorito.
Game Journo awards.
We are currently looking into some Steam Deck reports. The problem might be related to the fact that this port uses OpenGL (and old OpenGL at that), which might not work remotely as well as it should on the Deck.Been replaying Phantom Brave through the excellent PS5 release + the PC update and I'm confused about one thing on Steam Deck OLED. It seems to run perfectly handheld and docked on my monitor at 90fps outside of the hub. That seems to not go above 86ish regardless of what resolution or settings I use. I feel like I'm missing something here. Any idea Durante ?
Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind when I cover the Deck version soon.I think Erdtree being allowed is fine in principle, but then this needs to apply to all similarly sized DLC as well, now and in the future.
(Of course, then someone has to define/decide "similarly sized")
In general, I don't care about any of these awards at this point.

Well call me a cynical asshole then. Cuz I can't see it as anything but a re-skin and polishing up of the base games cut content.But the DLC is a whole ass game.
Would anything change if it was a seperate .exe you download?
This too I guess. Call me an asshole again but this isn't a PC gaming problem, this is a you problem. You say you want to just boot up a game and go, but find yourself tinkering with EVERYTHING?Every single one tbh, I have been messing with settings for like 10 games in the past two weeks and I have been doing that more instead of playing
Yearly post that awards in general are a shit show and TGA is a particular kind of shit
I was interested in Avowed and I was planning on getting it day one but not at that price, it is ridiculous.Avowed being $90CAD is crazy. I guess it could be worse though - at the current exchange rate it should be $100.
Capcom agrees, soKUNITSU GAMI MENTIONED!!

Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content
US Senator Mark Warner comes less than a week after an ADL report accusing Steam of "normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community."
Less than a week after the release of an ADL report accusing Steam of "normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community," US Senator Mark Warren has sent a letter to Valve boss Gabe Newell asking what the company is doing to combat the rise of extremist content on the platform, and warning of further "scrutiny" from the government if Valve doesn't play ball.
"It has been brought to your attention before that extremist ideologies seem to find a home on Steam," Warner wrote in his letter (via The Verge). "In 2022, Valve received a Senate letter identifying nearly identical activity on your platform, and yet two years later it appears that Valve has chosen to continue a 'hands off'-type approach to content moderation that favors allowing some users to engage in sustained bouts of disturbing and violent rhetoric rather than ensure that all of its users can find a welcoming and safe environment across your platform."
The 2022 Senate letter referenced by Warner, written by US Senator Maggie Hassan, said Steam has "a significant presence of users displaying and espousing neo-Nazi, extremist, racial supremacist, misogynistic, and other hateful sentiments," and requested a detailed report on what Valve is doing about it. Warner's letter is quite similar in that regard, acknowledging that Steam does have an online conduct policy and subscriber agreement, but questioning how committed Valve is to actually enforcing it.
"As Black Friday and the holiday buying season approaches, the American public should know that not only is Steam an unsafe place for teens and young adults to purchase and play online games, but also that, absent a change in Valve's approach to user moderation and the type of behavior that it welcomes on its platform, Steam is playing a clear role in allowing harmful ideologies to spread and take root among the next generation," Warner wrote.
Warner also warned, somewhat ominously, that if Valve does not adopt industry-standard moderation practices—whatever that means—it will "face more intense scrutiny from the federal government for its complicity in allowing hate groups to congregate and engage in activities that undoubtedly puts Americans at risk."
There's an aspect of irony to the complaint: Elon Musk turned Twitter into a haven for racism and far-right rhetoric, after all, and he's being rewarded with a high seat in the incoming US government. It's also not clear what the US government could do to force Valve's hand: "Hate speech" in the US is broadly protected under the First Amendment, and as a privately held company Valve is not subject to pressure from external shareholders who might not be comfortable with its permissive attitude.
At the same time, questions about Valve's content moderation policies have persisted over the years, and it does sometimes seem inclined to let the monkeys run the circus. We said in a 2018 report on Valve's "hate group problem" that Steam's problem isn't so much the absence of rules as the failure to enforce them; Valve updated Steam's community rules in 2023 with a more detailed breakdown of what is and isn't allowed, but enforcement (or lack thereof) remains an issue.
Warner's letter concludes with a series of 10 questions, several of them multi-part, covering broad topics like enforcement practices to more granular stuff including internal definitions of terms, the number of content moderators working at Steam, and what commitments it will make "to ensure that it has meaningfully curbed white supremacist, antisemitic, terroristic, Nazi, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, and hateful content by November 15, 2025."
The Senator has asked for a response by December 13. I've reached out to Valve for comment and will update if I receive a reply.

But it has more content than the majority of $60 (70? 80? whatever) games. I generally don't see "more content" as something to aspire to for games in most circumstances (see: Atlus), but "content" is not a coherent argument not to allow Erdtree.Well call me a cynical asshole then. Cuz I can't see it as anything but a re-skin and polishing up of the base games cut content.
I played it and it would make my top 10 list for the year. Shame it flopped, but the gameplay and setting are super niche so I'm not surprised. Also I played it on Game Pass but would have bought it on Steam soKUNITSU GAMI MENTIONED!!

The Sony defense force on Era will LOVE this.
I mean, my understanding for all of the forums was if it's for a game moderation was entirely in the hands of the developer and not in hands of valve and they only stepped in if things got wildly out of hand (IE like mass reports whatever)
I have the game so I assume I can invite more people, I need to check how to actually do that thoughRandom question -- could anyone spare a Deadlock invite?
When's Rebirth coming to steam, it's about time
Thanks a lot!I have the game so I assume I can invite more people, I need to check how to actually do that though
EDIT: done, you should receive it on Steam

I think this is the only game in the past year that I discussed more in person than online

PC gets a demo too?Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo launches November 22
Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force will release a demo for Dynasty Warriors: Origins on November 22, the companies announced.www.gematsu.com
Hype for the demo! This will probably be the final puzzle piece for me to decide getting the game day 1 or not

Balatro winning would cause a meltdown among a certain type of "gamer" so I would love to see it.I don't care who wins as long as FF7 loses.
Unlike last year, I'm not invested in any game or genre represented. The closest thing to a game I like would be Erdtree but a) didn't play it; b) I'm super fatigued of the genre; c) not really sure how I feel about dlc being eligible, no matter how big or how good it is.
edit: on second thought I'll be rooting for Balatro
Yeah not sure how to feel about expansions being nominated for GOTY. Ongoing sure, best expansion sure and so on, but GOTY is about celebrating the best new game.
Since I arrange the GOTY voting here, will people mad at me if erdtree isn't elligble?
GFL is spreading on MC.you used the wrong reaction
Can't there be a special mentions or a category for expansions?Since I arrange the GOTY voting here, will people mad at me if erdtree isn't elligble?
I think that should be the case yeah. Probably confirmation will need to wait the officials posting the video on the main KT channelPC gets a demo too?
I'd pick it up if it's not asking $75 for the privilege. As such, it has been relegated to Steam Sale territory.I feel like i'm the only person that has played this game
But why? What are you trying to achieve?Every single one tbh, I have been messing with settings for like 10 games in the past two weeks and I have been doing that more instead of playing
We do have a category for that yes.Can't there be a special mentions or a category for expansions?
