Well you guys did say something was going to happen this week, EVERYONE being unhappy about Death Stranding news is quite big. Sony fans because it's coming to PC and everyone else because it's EGS.XD


On a much nicer note, found out that running Outer Worlds in high res but lower rendering res is super good! I get it to run smooth and don't have to have super big blurry interface!:D

This is going to get lost after the Death Stranding news, but I'm really happy about it. The game was a bit rough in some spots because of the limited budget but I really want more like it (and Outer Worlds, still haven't played Disco) instead of the by the numbers made to be GaaS that is all we are going to get from the "big" guys.

The dontnod developer shilling EGS in the replies is hilarious.
These days I think the hardest part of this hobby is the GaaS shit and reading the opinions from developers... and their contempt for their customers.

I have no access to tweets at work :( but from what I can understand from your messages, there's a big clue about Death Stranding being Egsclusive ?
Update 8:33 a.m.: The PC version of Death Stranding will be published by 505 Games.
“We are extremely excited and honored to be working with the supremely talented team at Kojima Productions and to bring Death Stranding to PC gamers around the world,” said 505 Games co-founder and CEO Raffi Galante in a press release. “Death Stranding will take gamers through a completely original experience that will delight PC gamers everywhere.”
505 previously published Control as EGSclusive, but VTM2 on both EGS and Steam, so idk.

How much would Sweeney dish out for a game that is not new? It may not be worth it for them and at worst it will probably be a 30 day thing like RDR2.

They did take Tetris Effect which wasn't new but that was a UE game.

I don't think Kojima would agree to it unless its a very big moneybag so yea its a toss up imo.

not really ... they seem to only honour KS projects for steam ... hence Bloodstained and Indivisible

Control and Journey to the Savage Planet are both egsclusive, so ... you know ...
The publisher bit is really weird though, isn't Death Stranding self published on PS4?

Even if it actually launches on the EGS first, I highly doubt it's going to be a 12 months exclusive. There are only two actually major titles on that store and neither of those has a full year exclusivity (1 month and 6 months).

So as recommended last week I started my journey down the Arkham series with Asylum and it was very good! Probably the closest thing to a 3D metroidvania that exists. Just need to finish up collecting all the riddler thingys I am at like 85% now. My one complaint is the damn "bullet sponge" (fist sponge) enemies which is only an issue in the few points in the game where they throw 20+ enemies at you and you spend 20 minutes fighting and hope you dont get stunlocked. I played on hard so this may not be an issue if I played on normal. Overall, well worth the hype at the time. On to City next.

this Death Stranding saga has been so stupid. I know it's probably a sony marketing deal or whatever but it would have been nice if companies could be upfront about where i can play your stupid game.

Be glad that Sony allowed Kojima to announce it a week before PS4 release.

It's interesting to compare Disco Elysium to The Outer Worlds in how they handle their political message. The former is a lot (a lot) more serious and nuanced (while still poking fun at many concepts), while the latter mostly plays it for comedic effect. Well, at least from what I've played of TOW so far.

Edit: Note that I think both approaches work well for their respective games.

Reminder that this is a mega drive game ;3
Didn't know. First Sturmwind EX now this, wish it would happen more often, I'm subbed to a German magazine that reviews new releases for old consoles and while I could use emulators I prefer legit PC releases like this,

That PS4 Spiderman for PC when? I haven't played that one yet.
Never, it's considered 1st party and Sony bought Insomniac, a very different situation.
