My trusty headphones died. :(

And the other set i had lying around here have far too much bass.
Gonna be a pain in the ass looking for a good replacement.
Sony's WH-CH700N (slight revision of MDR-ZX770BN) are great.

Speaking of, I need to buy new muffs and a headband for my Senn HD558's.

I'm currently watching this GDC talk about Subnautica and it's really interesting. It focuses on how to handle an early access game, the tools they used to gather player feedback (including telemetry), etc.

Actually, I've seen games being called "dead" way to often.

Here's two recent examples :

Slay the Spire:

My Time At Portia:
Those guys are idiots. Good to see people calling them out.

In general I hate brands that pretend to be people. Those twitter accounts pretending to have depression are the fucking worst.
But now you can order the "I hate my life and everyone in it" meal at Burger King®. Aren't you excited‽‽‽

Also speaking of Namco, they still amaze me sometimes. Celebrating the saga 20 million copies they added a midweek madness sale, but Zestiria is 50% and Berseria 75%, and they added a banner for the sale, but didn't include Vesperia, that is also on sale 0_o:

Outward is much better than it has any right to be if you look at it as just the sum of its parts.

This makes sense given that Zestiria is the best one :p

Imagine if Steam user reviews are being removed.



Those people who keep complaining about it are completely clueless.
The average user that complains about this is clueless.

"Professional" reviewers/press that complain about it aren't. They're just trying to undermine the value of user reviews because it behooves them to do anything to prop up the importance of their own (increasingly unimportant) industry.

Same as youtubers who complain about traditional media. Of course they are going to badmouth it, they want people to pay attention to them.

More like Mostly EGS Showcase. They already moneyhatted a bunch from last year's, I don't expect any different this year.
yeah, pretty much .... there's really no point in watching those events any more tbh ... not unless you want to know which games you'll be able to play 12 months later (potentially, because there really is no guarantee all of them will be on steam after those 12 months)

I'm taking an even harder stance than that, anything that goes to EGS for timed or any other sort of exclusivity is on my permanent black list. Money talks, and while I may be only 1 guy, thats still one less +1 for scummy businesses.

For me it hits the $5 bin. I still want to play Control and BL3.

Thank god that John Wick game looks like shit, nothing missed with EGS exclusivity.
good enough for what it aims for and the dev is good one , too bad for the exlusivity
John Wick Hex is in development for consoles and will be available for Windows PC and Mac exclusively via the Epic Games Store at launch.

John Wick Hex is the first John Wick PC/console game inspired by Lionsgate’s hit action franchise. From acclaimed Game Director, Mike Bithell (Volume, Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular), John Wick Hex is a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like the professional hitman.

Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job and requires precise strategic thinking.

Perform well and progress in the main story mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll use and the manner in which you’ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.
John Wick Hex complements the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and features the world class voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick amongst its stellar cast, with more to be revealed later.
also pretty weird tweet for eggscloosie deal


2nd DLC of SC:O season pass is out

That Pillars 2 5.0 update looks rad as hell. MORE PILLARS CAN ONLY BE GOOD.

Also Yakuza Kiwami 2 very very soon. I need to finish ninja murdering so I can start punching people.

Oh yeah, it definitely goes both ways, of course it behooves YouTubers/Twitch streamers to say that the "normie" media isn't as useful as them

Although, honestly, I think that's generally true. If I want to read coverage on a game that I can find coverage of anywhere, I can read traditional media. But if I actually want to know anything about the weird indie sandbox game I stumble across on Steam, I usually end up having to dig through niche YouTube channels. I'd prefer to read a more "professional" review, but it's not like I have a choice anyways.

Some people here were talking about Code Vein the other day and possibilities of it being canceled?

Well... Here is new gameplay from Dengeki Online.


Also there are network tests at the end of May for PS4/Xbone versions.

If you wish to register you can from the above link. Probably, I dunno their limit.

Hopefully the PC version is also being kept up on by Bandai. 🙏

Yes! Still looking forward to this.

Looks solid. Also, is this the first time they show a female character gameplay?

It's weird how soon this is coming after someone finally successfully reverse engineers the game basically perfectly. Nuke.YKT's page
I'm going to say they've been mum on this, but it's not a recent thing behind the scenes. Too many rumours for too long for it to be 'we're working on it, come back next year'

I finished days gone so now I'm kind of in a weird place where I need something to do but can't really start anything lengthy because Rage 2 is like 5 days away now. So I started mega man X collection tonight and what a great way to find out I'm not as skilled at games as I was when I was 5 apparently.

X1 is decent difficulty and there is no shame in using a guide to go thru stages and get upgrades along the way. Generally any of us who played the Megaman games have a set order to clear the stages in.

Edit- here is a freebie, chill penguin should be the first boss you got against since you get the dash boots from that stage. His pattern is easy and can be defeated woth a little patience.
From there you could go to Mandrill or Storm Eagle. Storm eagle can be beaten with the x buster and while stage can seem difficult due to platforming, his weapon makes clearing later stages much easier.
Mandrill is weak to Ice weapon btw.

I find it easier to go to the Armadillo stage after the Penguin.

But that's just me!

There is a slight input delay so it could be that that makes the games more difficult than what you remember.
Just as Tizoc said. Chill Penguin is the best first stage, the boss is easy and you also get the dash upgrade

I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE!! Raaaaaaaaaaaaggghhhhh!!!! I am a ninja master!

Now to go feel like useless shit again as I inevitably get stomped over and over by the last boss probably? There can't be much more based on how this story is going.
