My ISP decided to suddenly stop sucking yesterday and nearly tripled my download speeds. Best Christmas present I could ask for.
Veilguard is good, but it’s way much closer to ff7 remake than bg3.
playing gacha on my ipad with the apple pencil, truly an experience!
It’s not a competition, both can be good and they both have different strengths. Like veilguard is much more open than remake so for me that makes it more enjoyable.
Zenless zone Zero is fantastic but I’d recommend a controller for that one.
I'm playing FGO since it's basically a VN with turn based gameplay, but I would reccomend something like ZZZ as NarohDethan suggested or Honkai Star Rail.
Zenless Zone Zero needs a controller imho, it's an action game and HSR is turn based instead.
You can also try Infinity Nikki for the cozy gameplay (which is also on PC).

I honestly don't see many strengths with Veilguard. If you like openess, Rebirth beats Veilguard handsomely.
You played one hour, doesn’t really represent the game. It is uncomfortably linear at the start, it does open up. Also we didn’t talk about rebirth. Which granted does indeed seem great.
Yeah I played through the whole game and it's probably a 7/10 at most in my eyes.
I have so many games to play, if I have to play more than 1 hour to "meet the actual game" then the game has failed it's first impression.
I could have used that 1 hour of Veilguard to play a truly amazing indie game.
OP
skill issue tbh
I got my first win in Balatro and it felt so good 
Got some Steambux, so I will have to buy something in the seal after all!

It would be nice if Valve became more strict with all the account creation and additional launcher bs.
The relationship between the customer and publisher should be over after the exchange of money. All this additional shit is so anticonsumer and unnecessary.
And the MAU data harvesting excuses can fuck off too. Devs have enough public steam data to ball park some figure they can brag about.

Incredible. I'm so glad I left that site. Almost every thread about PC gaming results in a huge shit show. I guess lots of console gamers are still angry that "their" exclusives are coming to PC as well.
I'm not sure Valve should do anything about this. I mean, PC gamers are free to accept or reject the BS that publishers like Sony are throwing at them.
I just press the ignore button for every singleplayer game that requires an additional account to play. It's that easy. PC gaming was fine for years without Sony's games, and it still is today.
We already see several publishers reconsidering additional launchers and/or accounts.

So maybe some oldheads here can answer this one: how was the reception of Tomb Raider 2 back in the day, compared to the orignal? Because I'm playing the remaster, and I really do not like TR2. It adds nothing of value ontop of TR1, except vapid set pieces that last all of 5 minutes and then you are back to the samey levels and puzzles from TR1. Except now there are enemies on every corner, and the combat so far is just horribly boring. It was also super bad in TR1, but at least there it just served to break up the monotony of puzzle solving. In TR2 it is a constant stream of enemies.
Feels like the worst of modern day AAA was already present here: a focus on flashy nonsense over interesting gameplay.
Btw, I remember someone complained about the modern controls, and once you look up a tutorial on how they work (because whoever developed the remaster is a very smart person who thinks tutorials are not needed), it's fine. In fact, I think you can easily pull of some moves that are impossible using tank controls.

not just banned you literally can't make threads anymore once you're unbanned lol
Why did I wait so long to play Nine Sols? Can't believe Prince of Persia Lost Crown and Nine Sols both released this year and I like both of them a ton more than anything else released in the genre for over a decade.

Purchased.
I think I'm gonna go into Outer Wilds first, but load up Great Ace Attorney on the Deck for bedtime gaming, lol.
I simply don't see a reason to spend money on anything when i have tons of games to play not even including those i have started already. I will maybe buy Rebirth on GMG, but that's it.
Mivey i can only say what I thought back then, never got super into the first game and it was also at the time when 3d graphics were evolving on pc, so with the second game it felt more polished, has full 3d acceleration and was more action. So for me at the time it felt like a much better game. But granted I haven’t played neither since they released.
You are banned!!!
I finished a game.
Ah, I see you've made your first steps into the world of Gabexia. But the path of the true Steam Cultivator is still long

I can really only tell you what I remember from reading games magazines, but as far as I recall, Tomb Raider 2 was well received and seen as an improvement in many ways; and only afterwards people kinda caught on that Core Design was churning these games out too fast. I think by TR4 the consensus was that the games were getting stale.
But I also didnt play TR2 when it came out; I played TR1 and TR3 (not on release either, maybe in 2000...ish?) and then TR2, and only a little bit, since by that point, having played those two, I didnt see the need to play another.
As I have surely mentioned before, however, I did play all the TR games from Crystal Dynamics later on (and a bit of each of the Core Design games since they were all super cheap on Steam at one point or another).

regarding PSN and other third party accounts/launchers on Steam: I have accounts with Ubisoft, EA, Larian, Microsoft, Sony, Blizzard, GOG, and I dont even remember what else—its a lot!
I dont really mind so much if the account creation is fast and doesnt need more than an email and links to my Steam account so I can bury the password somewhere and basically forget about it....
However: its just not how it should be, especially if youre locking out regions from creating accounts (or making ID mandatory or something like that). Some account systems are also very happy to regularly log you out, making them even more annoying.
Extra launchers — if they are quiet! — also dont bother me too much, but again, its not how it should be.
If I buy a game on Steam, the Steam account and launcher should suffice.
Ideally, the publishers should make sure to keep the games DRM-free, as well (at least after a while). DRM-freedom is often an argument against Steam; and its one that I find silly, given how its up to the publisher to implement DRM (and there's plenty of DRM-free games on Steam!).
I think its just that Valve tries to appease publishers as well as they can — and would rather have them annoy people with things like that instead of not shipping their game at all. They sure have a history with publishers leaving the platform and I think its quite obvious Valve wants as many games from all sorts of publishers on Steam as possible. At the same time, they want to be as user-friendly as they can; and its quite a tightrope to walk. I'm sure there are plenty of publishers who would want to remove the community reviews or community forums before they'd consider bringing their games over. (and my assumption is some got discouraged to publish more due to overwhelming negative reaction, like Blizzard. I cant imagine their plan was to only release two games on Steam and call it a day)
On topic of community forums – on bigger game releases, they can get quite bad; and I dont think Valve can realistically moderate all the subforums. Thats a problem every big platform has, at some point there's too much shouting and the reasonable discussion gets drowned out.
I do think game publishers should moderate the forums more — and we should get more self-moderation tools: word blocking comes to mind; or better user blocking—not just labelling a topic "topic by blocked user" and still have it show up in the community hub frontpage...there's surely more they could do!
Uh oh.
Was planning to give Outer Wilds a quick test spin.
Suddenly an hour was somehow gone.

The game was very well received. I remember the press being blown away when they showed off the Venice level.
I mean, that's one of the problems, yes. Kinda like playing Resident Evil REmake with new controls and circling around the zombies. Tank controls are fine.
I'd love to beat that game since most people say it's amazing but the open space travel and big celestial bodies trigger some sort of irrational fear in me. I was hyperventilating while landing on the planet with all the tornados. So stupid lmao
I haven't bought anything at any of the sales this year..feels kind of lame.
