Haven't played that yet (bought it during the last sale but I wasn't even halfway through with the original game), but going from what I've read on the Steam forums, it doesn't have Reincarnation. I hope what you say is true, because I'd love to play it. To be honest, I have no idea what it's about, but more Fata Morgana would be great haha.

Any fans of FMV titles?
As you may know, Double Switch was re-released a couple of days ago:
After Night Trap and Double Switch, it seems the developer behind these enhanced ports has two more titles coming next year, that should be announced in late January, or early February, and both will have over 4 hours of extras!
So, has anyone enjoyed revisiting these games?
What titles would you like to see re-released next?

A heads-up, for anyone that cares about this: you can already get cards for the upcoming Winter event/badge.
As usual, they are currently labelled as "Mysterious Card #"
If anyone has been collecting Steam trading cards, and was waiting to craft badges to get event cards, you can already start crafting them.

these aren't global top sellers ... so blame your horny countrymen
Wait a minute...
I have Night Trap and Double Switch wishlisted, but chances are I'm going to play through Shibuya Scramble first.
My mantra is: the more campy the material is, the better.
EDIT: Case in point: The Dame Was Loaded

If you like campy and weird, Shibuya is for you.
One of the best games released in the West this year, no lie.
I've not looked into Double Switch, I know very little about it.
But I played Night Trap and it was certainly odd.
Campy fun cheese indeed, but not a great game, and one where if all you want is the cheese then playing it actually seemed to get in the way of it I felt :/

I did a quick check
Trillion booster pack costs 667 gems, each card is valued more than 10 euro cents

Here's some news about upcoming content updates to FIGHTING EX LAYER:
3 new characters planned until May 2019, 1 free character around March, and 1 free character + 1 paid character around May.
If anyone is yet to play the game, give it a try (maybe in the upcoming Winter sale?).
The game is a lot of fun. It's clearly a much lower budget effort than the big fighting games around, but for some reason it feels to me a like a more "classic", arcade title.
Despite the team struggling a bit budget-wise, especially since the sales weren't particularly good, they have been supporting the game surprisingly well, with several free characters, and stages.

Yeah Terry Bogard is gonna be added to Fighting EX Layer, and I am rather psyched to see how he'd play in this system.
Just beat Darksiders III, overall I liked it as much as DS1 which I plan on replaying soon The latest patches really helped improve the game so if you'dve been waiting for the game to improve, now's a good time to pick it up once the latest patch goes live next week.
Right now my ranking is
Darksiders 3=Darksiders1>Darksiders 2
I feel like if DS2 got some kind of full on remake that takes the best parts of it and makes it more compact and streamlined it'd be better.

Finally idled the last of my cards for a whole £11 in total
Could have got more money by listing them at the lowest "for sale" price, but I have no patience at all so listed them all at the highest "buy now" price.

Hahaha.
So, what does the Epic Games store now offer to developers? Better revenue split? Nope. Better discoverability? Nope. Better customer service? Nope. Access to the biggest PC customer base? Nope. Better tools? Nope.
The biggest news isn't the new revenue split, it's that they seem to be giving up on curation.

Which is what all the anti-Steam whiners complain about to begin with. So whoopee
Volvo at all these pc gaming store announcements:
EDITed with the proper image I was looking for.

I never understood that point about the need for curation.The biggest news isn't the new revenue split, it's that they seem to be giving up on curation.

Is it really that much harder to find a game on Steam, than it is on, say, apple's store?
Personally, I don't need someone to decide what I should play or not. I can make my own decisions. I prefer to have access to everything, and select which games I want to play, or not, than to have games I want to play missing from Steam.
Looking at those "trash", asset flip games people keep talking about, I have to ask: does anyone actually buy those games under false pretence? If one shows up while browsing the store, just one look will tell you it's a low-effort game.
And, even if you are completely fooled, you can play the game up to two hours, and refund it.
So, while Steam is still my platform of choice (not only because I have most of my library there, but also because of the features it provides me, as a customer), I certainly welcome Discord's "open the floodgates" new policy.
At the same time, Epic's curation, and "moneyhatting", couldn't appeal less to me as a potential customer.
As for the need of curation, and the problem of "discovering" good games, I have an idea.
We have one million youtubers, "influencers", streamers, commentators, game journalists, gaming websites, and whatnot.
How about, instead of making daily articles or videos about "shitty games", they start covering games worth playing, instead of giving time and coverage to those low-effort games? Just a thought.

Nah I will try monday, I am off today. I just googled and clicked the google link.
That gets a hearty chuckle from me.
90/10 has got to be about what stores like GMG and Humble offer for Steam keys to devs right? That is interesting. If Discord doesn't moneyhat exclusivity I will gladly support a real competitor to Steam, but they already have a track record of doing that so not holding my breath.
Can you ping metacouncil.com when you get to work and tell me the ip
Honestly, I find the iOS App Store to be an ugly nightmare to navigate, so I would hope that Steam isn't using that as the bar of quality!
But seriously, Steam's suggestions and store functions are much more useful than you find on places like the App Store.
I think the one thing we should be fair about is that many people don't want to make their own decisions .And there are probably a lot of reasons why that is, but overall that's okay!
I think in most cases, people want reviewers, curators, influencers, etc to tell them which games are worth buying. Obviously tastes vary, blah blah, but people like to be able to read quick summaries about products before they buy them (or in the laziest of cases just look at the final score) because they want to spend their hard-earned money on things that are good. People like us that are on message boards that spend time watching streams, reading pre-released coverage, and broadly consuming everything about games are not the majority. Many people don't have the time to do that, and even when they do have extra time, they sometimes don't have enough interest in the hobby to do that anyways.
And yes, the "asset flip" games are almost a complete false flag concern. Pretty much the only reason they get attention is because certain dopey YouTubers and journos (cough Jim Sterling cough) use them to get views on videos, which only gives them attention they wouldn't otherwise get.
Overall I agree with your idea. The way that more small games can succeed on digital storefronts is for there to be better coverage. Instead of Article #7601 about Asset Flips and Article #4982 about the latest AAA console release, having better, effortful coverage about small games could really make a difference. It's bizarre that even a successful indie hit like Rimworld sits on only 5 reviews. Your average AAA game has 5 reviews up within the first thirty seconds of the embargo lifting.
But alas, doing that won't bring in the clicks and the views, so instead we have to hear those same influencers, streamers, commentators, game journalists and gaming websites pop up in our newsfeed occasionally to whine about Steam, wondering why oh why these poor games have no visibility. Never once considering "Hm, am I part of the problem?"
More people need to play this its one of the best arpg games ive played dont let early accesd fool you it has alot if content too
Probably gonna buy it in the coming sale, heard great things about it.
Dark siders 3 uodate
Added new option for Combat. Upon loading a save or starting a new game, players will be prompted to choose between “Default” and “Classic” combat. “Classic” mode should feel more like previous Darksiders titles allowing Fury to dodge interrupt her attacks as well use items instantly. “Default” mode is the original combat mode for Darksiders III. The option can be changed at any point in gameplay options while playing. This has no other effects on difficulty or achievements.

Thanks.At the top of your 'Badges' page - it's an Enhanced Steam thing, I think? (Hello to JShackles)
Not sure I'll bother... (I suspect the AUD thing is messing with the algorithm here!):
It is weird though: I don't have it.

Do you still need one? Add me on Steam, and it's yours (my username is the same as in here).
This one was a weird decision, Fury had semilong uninterrumpable combo strings but the enemies were unstaggerable. So in the end the combat was wait for the tell and dodge and that was a little too passive.
Hello everyone. I guess my first post here, I don't have much to say (yet), but as everyone is posting their failure to launch Idlemaster, I'll do the same:
