They said they set the game in japan because they were disappointed with Konami giving the series to western devs for such a long time, in the politest way possible

The real horror were the microstutters along the way

Konami is almost back...
MGS Collection, SH2 remake, Delta remake, Silent Hill F.
All that is missing is a new Castlevania or Bomberman (out of nowhere).
Maybe some Switch 2 surprise.
And MGS collection Vol. 2....And they would pretty much be all the way back.
Return of the king?

I hope SHf is good because I didn't like SH2 Remake very much.

Steam's year in review is out and there's still no MAU update. You're killing me Valve.
It already has system requirements (including disk space and expected performances) and rating, I say it's likely coming this yearNo release date
It's a horror game. of course it needs to use the most terrifying engine to PC users.
Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is FREE @ Steam
FE is less niche than Xenoblade. But you do make a good point with Tales and Atelier since those games would also fall under that category, but at the same time it seems like it's a mix of remasters of older games and some new games every once in a while.
As for Yakuza that one did end up changing its gameplay, but it doesn't seem to be for the reason for trying to be more mainstream.
FE is still sort of niche but it's popular definitely increased after Fire Emblem Awakening. It sucks how Nintendo will just nickel and dime FE fans. It's nice that there are new FE games but why is the DLC so expensive?

I need help. When trying to do photo mode in Spiderman the "photo" is just a Steam screenshot. Is that typical how photos are taken? I thought that games on PS and Xbox did a bit more, with Nvidia Ansel you are able to get a raw file from my understanding. I don't plan to make a large print, but I would still like to take a photo with some high detail. Is steam just compressing the file? Since the screenshot is not even 1MB
I bought this year's Spring Season Profile Theme, but instead of applying it to my page, I reverted back to Steam-chan Spring Profile from last year instead.
Her legacy lives on.
How do you see played time for a game you played via family share which you no longer have access to?
I guess I can post a review lol...

I paid that for Tsushima on PS5 and it was absolutely worth it imo. Don't care about Days Gone and don't even own it lol.
Just a few days more!
Haven't really played too much Assassin's Creed since Odyssey a few years back... and this one is set in feudal Japan, which is a really easy way to guarantee I buy something. All of the previews look so good, too!
I also bought DOAX Venus Vacation, but for some reason that doesn't show up in the activity feed.
...yeah, maybe thats for the best. Thanks, Gaben.
Don't you want to be a "innocent" Japanese girl, while being chased my incomprehensible monstrosities?
(I, for one, celebrate an original game. Even if this looks it only uses Silent Hill name just for brand recognition)
Whew. Completed Suikoden 1 in the remasters.
Man that was nostalgic. The new translation freshens up some of the old dialog and generally improves things (but has some bad spots too-- a couple instances of "no one would talk this way in English" and "what tense is being used here actually"). It's like a fresh coat of paint on a classic car. Some people say repainting a classic ruins it, others like the new colors and the clean fresh look. The sprites over new backgrounds generally worked for me, though it leads to a particularly awkward scene on a balcony at one point. Overall really enjoyed it. I was always gonna enjoy it since I love these games, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would even which is nice.
Hey, they even included a secret 9th book in the library! A Original Suikoden dev added an in-game diary that you have to input a button combo to unlock that has previously never been translated to English. That's cool. It's nothing exciting but VERY obscure and cool that they bothered to include it since none of the English releases have had it so far.
Onward to Suikoden 2.

You wouldn't believe what that Lash person (being the Anti-Anime spokesperson) is doing in his free time!
You left out Suikoden.
Going through Suikoden 1 it was a nostalgic blast but it also made me appreciate Eiyuden Chronicles a bit more. While EC I felt a bit was weaker in the overall story I think it was better at highlighting the characters in the game. Also now I gotta go back and check for that 9th in-game diary entry now that you've mentioned it.
Good luck if you're going for that colour opening credits in Suikoden 2. I'm personally going to go for it since I want that hit to my nostalgia feels and it's one of my favourite openings to a game.

For a moment I thought this wouldn't release in the end, but this jp-only psp-only is now on Steam and in english
I really wish I cared about Silent Hill even a little
Ryukushi being involved in one is the sort of thing that would make me super hyped about it if I was into the genre even a little but it's probably not enough to get me from literally 0 interest to actually playing it

At this point this is bordering on parody. There's coming crawling back to Steam and then there's whatever this is lol
The fact that they pivoted to Steam so sharply as shit took a bad turn shows how much they hold their customers in contempt.
They probably have mountains of user research telling them they needed to do this years ago and actively chose to ignore it.

Oh boy, Ubisoft is desperate. Who knew that locking your games in Ubisoft Connect and EGS for years would result in people not buying them.
It's funny how quickly they went from giving us proper Steam Controller API support to acting like they didn't give a fuck about us
Now they're back when everything has hit the fan.I'm happy, but yeesh. It was a rough bit there.
Ubisoft is irrelevant to mew really.
The last FarCry game I enjoyed was Primal, and the last decent AC game was Origins.

I'm willing to let bygones be bygones with Ubisoft. They seem to be going out of their way to treat Steam users right and I appreciate that.
Tom Henderson reported that Ubi devs were begging to get back on Steam for years. It was upper management who had their heads up their ass.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm convinced there was someone at Ubi that had some kind of grudge against Valve or Steam. It's the only thing that makes sense. Even before they started skipping Steam entirely, they still refused to use basic Steam features on most of their titles. It just seemed to petty lol. And then there's the way they left Steam and immediately got into bed with Epic.
Otherwise it's just weird for a publicly traded company to insist on leaving money on the table like that.
Lmao. I knew it. And yeah, I don't hold silly grudges. They've been having really deep discounts lately, so in the last couple months I've purchased more Ubisoft games than I have in the past decade.

Yeah, I’m all too aware about leaders ignoring evidence until it suits them - I work (and worked) with some talented user researchers, after all. When I was in the private sector I’d often find that the instincts of senior leaders went against the facts of what our customers were telling us. And when shit started going wrong the UCD teams still got the blame.
It’s all egos. My colleague’s research was only ever listened to if it validated some dickhead’s theory or instinct, which wasn’t too often.
I’m sure there’s people with grudges out there (Tim Sweeney, for example), but the reality is Ubisoft likely thought they could make more money by using their IP clout to disrupt the market and reap the rewards of the new landscape.
Obviously there are people who make insane decisions based on stupid notions, but more often than not it’s about an overinflated sense of importance and management’s belief that they can ignore their customers due to their brand’s pulling power. I doubt it was a grudge, more that the person making that decision (likely Yves or someone close to him) thought they were being hyper-rational.
The problem Ubisoft has is for every Ubi game not releasing on Steam, there are two or three better games on Steam releasing in the same month. They lost the attention economy by ignoring their customers, and this had a gradual corrosive effect on their console games as streamers (primarily on PC) stopped bothering with their games.
Some more pickups today:

My paycheck is not going to come for another 2 weeks and the spring sale ends on the 20th, fml
What game do you want, I can gift it and you pay me back then, if you can make a transfer to a bank account in Greece. Not by buying me a game back, sorry, I only have like 140 eur in my primary account atm, the rest is an equal sum in cash and hopefully I start work again next month (so another month+ before first pay) cos dang I need money lol. I'm missing the Meta Quest sale, I considered Dungeons of Eternity but it's clearly best to be frugal and it isn't even 50% off.My paycheck is not going to come for another 2 weeks and the spring sale ends on the 20th, fml

They just need to take one more step and remove Ubisoft Connect from their Steam games, then all will be forgiven.
Sometimes it doesn't even detect I'm logged in and linked and makes me sign in again. That's what annoys me in games with forced accounts. Rockstar also does this. I've had account linked for years but RDR1 still made me sign in again within the game. I strongly believe that if Helldivers 2 handled things like most gacha games do where you can just get an account created automatically and continue playing, most people would just click yes/continue and get back to playing. The more friction you add to players, the worse you are making things for yourself. Ideally no forced accounts, but MAU gonna MAU.
I use Ubisoft Connect so infrequently that it logs me out in between my logins.
As I use one of my PCs as a HTPC, this is not a good user experience.
