EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft Wants to Change the 'Far Cry Formula' with Far Cry 7 and Maverick
Ubisoft is aiming to do something entirely different with its next two Far Cry titles; Far Cry 7 and Maverick, an extraction-based shooter.
insider-gaming.com
not cramming udontplay and 74 layers of DRM would be a pretty big departure from the Far Cry Formula
Good! I guess they'll likely get around to everything eventually then (at least, everything that already has achievements on their own launcher).

Ubisoft's apology tour continues.
A part of me kinda hopes that this is happening because they're sick of people bringing it up every chance they get in the Steam forums lol
Thanks. Really appreciate it. Finding the time will be quite a challenge though.Alright, so I would say there are currently five "new-gen" anime gachas that blur the line between mobile/console and PC games (in release order): Genshin Impact: Honkai Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero and Infinity Nikki. I play or have played all of them, so here's my opinion on them :
Genshin Impact: The OG breakout game that was responsible for kickstarting this new wave of high-budget mobile games. It's an open-world Action RPG with a big focus on narrative and exploration. The beginning story sections are a bit rough at times, but it's been consistently good-to-great for years now. The environment design is consistently very strong and I probably consider it one of the prettiest games ever at this point. The exploration is also consistently very good. Combat is fairly simple in turms of what buttons to press, but team-building is very rich (however Gacha-reliant to a large degree).
5.3 releases in 2 weeks, which is the conclusion to the current story chapter.
Fantastic music.
Honkai Star Rail: Second game from the Genshin people. It's a turn-based zone-based sci-fi JRPG with a big focus on narrative and combat modes (various endgame modes, rogue-like modes, etc). The combat system is fairly simple, but the encounter design is very good and it also has rich team-building (also Gacha-reliant). The story starts strong, then craters for a while, but has since then been also consistently good-to-very-good. There are multiple main-story threads and recurring characters and all that.
3.0 launches in January and is looking to be pretty hype.
Also has fantastic music.
Wuthering Waves: The first "Genshin-clone" from a competitor. Tries to differentiate itself by having a (in theory) more sci-fi leaning world and a bigger focus on skill-based combat, with perfect dodges and parries and all that jazz. I bailed shortly during 1.0 becaue the story was one of the worst things I've experienced and the localisation was ass in addition. Combat is indeed very good though, so ymmv if that's enough. 2.0 is coming soon.
Zenless Zone Zero: The newest game from the Genshin/Star Rail people. It's a young new team, which does show in certain aspects. It's an urban-fantasy game with a mix of slice-of-life post-apocalyptic city-live where you hang out with characters, play minigames in the Arcade and stuff, and then go into "Hollows" to navigate grid-based "dungeons" to solve puzzles, triggers events and ultimately fight monsters. At least that's what it used to be, but they are redoing that for existing and future main story in favor of full 3D levels with puzzles and platforming and stuff - will be interesting to see how that ends up, looks promising though.
Combat also leans more towards the skill-based side, with perfect dodges, parries and all that - at least in end-game and optional side stuff, the game's fairly easy for large parts to ease people in, possibly too easy too long. The story is fairly light-hearted and episodic with loose connecting tissues, but 1.4 is coming this week and they've advertised it as the "season finale" where everything comes together and things have been getting really dark, lol.
This video is 9 minutes cause it's trialer + all the upcoming new stuff and imo should do a decent job of showing the game
Also has fantastic music.
Infinity Nikki: Basically just released. It's an open-world dress-up game with a focus on platforming, collecting and, well, dressing up. The story feels a bit like a simple fairytale but casually throws in heavy themes or straight up gets dark at times.
Apparently the previous games have a whole lore iceberg
This game is not connected, but you can definitely feel this stuff is coming. While you ride through the world on you fancy bike, collecting Mario Galaxy Stars and have fashion battles against "pokemon trainer and gym leader" equivalents, people talk about a neighbouring kingdom getting invaded which is causing a refugee crisis and stuff
Game is super cozy and chill, has great setpieces, lots of collectibles (stars and clothing pieces or their crafting recipes) and the worldbuilding seems pretty solid and the story already goes interesting places.
Also has fantastic music.
If you're interested, pick one that sounds the most interesting to you and give it a try.
For me they've kind of replaced the Trails games after the garbage that was Cold Steel 4.
I feel you when it comes to disappointment with the Cold Steel arc.
Nice!

I know there are shit ton of RPGs that I want to play that are coming out early in the new year. Just the ones I'm interested in is already a lot, and I know there are more.
Jan:
FF7 Rebirth
Feb:
Trails through Daybreak 2
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
March:
Suikoden Remasters
Xenoblade Chronicles X (Switch)
This list is missing that Tales of remaster, Citizen Sleeper 2, Monster Hunter Wilds(not for me but it's a big deal for many), and probably a bunch more. RPG players are feasting but we'll probably all be overfed very soon lol.

Last month I said I didn't want to play Cities: Skylines so, of course, I'm playing skylines. It's fun. I still want a more sim city like game but this is interesting if you care about traffic. I like the many public transit options, the trams are so cute. It feels very US-based with the amount of highways and six-lane roads you need, but at least you can reduce it with all the public transit options.
The start was horrible though, the game didn't work for me until I installed a few mods. There was this horrible blue fog that meant I couldn't see more than a few meters in front of me in the game, who thought that was a good idea... baffling. The user interface is clumsy too, hard to navigate. And the playing area is smaller than I thought, but I installed a mod for that as well.
Apart from that I got the Raw Fury humble bundle, some awesome games. I already had Skald: Against the Black Priory (rpg with cool Commodore 64 style graphics) so I'll try to give the steam key to a friend, and I'm looking forward to finally playing Norco.

SKALD: Against the Black Priory
You drag yourself from the black tides, across the corpses of drowned men, and onto the u
I was fucking dying during the tutorial because you go from a cozy setup about a girl trying to get a pretty dress for a ball into being kidnapped into an entire intro sequence that felt like a Dark Souls tutorial level filled with lore dumps about elder gods sacrificing themselves to destroy eldritch monsters and then being given a quest by a fire keeper.This game is not connected, but you can definitely feel this stuff is coming. While you ride through the world on you fancy bike, collecting Mario Galaxy Stars and have fashion battles against "pokemon trainer and gym leader" equivalents, people talk about a neighbouring kingdom getting invaded which is causing a refugee crisis and stuff
Then you leave the tutorial and its OOH PRETTY FAIRIES AND DRESSES and whats this about magic users becoming catatonic then falling into comas???
Absolute fucking cinema, no words
Next year I want to pick up my language studies again since I kind of neglected it this year. Make the next Trails OT, watch ABSOLUTE CINEMA and read more literature.
And by literature, I mean stuff that gets banned from store.steampowered.com.

I hope the game sells well, it would be a great example of why exclusivity is dumb in this day and age. I will buy the twin pack eventually.
The sooner we get rid of exclusives the sooner the industry will be in a better health.

So they are gonna turn Far Cry into an pvp survival game?
Good luck with that. All they will do is alienate their hardcore Far Cry fanbase and in return get rejected by all the loyalists who play Ark/Rust + other stuff like it instead.
And the casuals out there who just like shlooters will probably pass on this too. Sounds very risky and stupid.
Winter sale cards are dropping by the way! Im getting them by crafting badges.

Hi I was lured into Infinity Nikki by pictures of pretty dresses with floofy skirts
The gameplay is mid and the gacha makes my head spin (this is my first gacha game - so many menus and currencies) but the dress up aspect is excellent, it's so unabashedly girly

Yo, as every year, since it's my birthday I'm making a big giveaway. It's mostly bundle leftovers so it's not much but it has a couple of hits like Darktide or Risk of Rain 2. It lasts for a week and ends on December 25th.
Here is the link to the giveaway post: Community - Giveaways!
Happy holidays!
(Hope I didn't mess up, those were a lot of keys, if it's any problem, DM me)

Manufacturer accidentally lists Nvidia RTX 5090 and a bunch of other GPUs
Needless to say, they're not there anymore.
www.destructoid.com
Seems like the NVCP is gonna be phased out and replaced with the nvidia app once there's feature parity.
Y'know, I wonder if we're going to see a whole lot of "Steam Compatible" controllers wherever that branding's available to use. There's already a lot of manufacturers making generic controllers with xinput modes for PC, it might not be too much of a stretch for them to make new iterations of those controllers Steam Compatible. The only different hardware thing a lot of them would need is touch-capacitive sticks.
I figured out the biggest issue I was having with Linux, so 2025 is def gonna be the year I switch completely to using Linux as my default PC operating system. Let the migration commence.

Also, at this point it's painfully obvious that there was some kind of company policy not to support Steam achievements. When the company inevitably collapses and Jason Schreier is writing a post-mortem chapter in a future book, I really hope we'll find out the exact reason and what changed lol.

Steam Client Beta - Steam Client Beta - December 11th - Steam News
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes: General Added a global setting for improved management of game updates. Added a panel to manage per-game exceptions to the global setting. Added keyboard controls for dropdown lists in the client. Updated layout of downloads page...
Fixed an issue where the guide button would open the menu in the main steam window instead of in the game overlay. Oh shit, I need to check this out. If this fixes the bug that exists with using remote play from Steam on a client PC, that would be so god damned nice.
Installed few mods for RDR2 (more grass, better ground textures, increased LoD, better fur for animals...) and Lord have mercy
Got Rebirth from GMG for 38,96€. Can't complain, pretty sweet deal.
Happy birthday!
