My suggestions were going to be the same as ezodagrom's. I'm off home now but what PSU do you have? Oh and what res is your monitor?
Not essential info but helpful to have.

Thankfully I play no Ubisoft games :coffee-blob:
But yeah, I've noticed it with MHW as well. I'm probably going to replace that one soonish too, maybe in a year or so, or earlier if it really starts to annoy me.
Yeah.
Also at the moment it's better to wait before upgrading a CPU, not only AMD is releasing new CPUs this year (apparently bringing up to 16 cores to the mainstream market, though it remains to be seen how they'll perform in gaming), Intel is also long overdue a new architecture (the current 9 series CPUs are still based on the same architecture as the 6 series, just with more cores).

Good to know.
I have narrowed down my prferences to either a 2060 or 2070. Latter might be overkill though, but on the other hand I had my current card for 5 or 6 years...

1080p60Hz. I like downsampling though :)
PSU should be no problem, the R9 290 has a much higher consumption than any of the new Nvidia cards, lol.

Sometimes, not setting a proper date for your game, leads to interesting results in the upcoming page
I've been waiting for a proper fantasy inn simulator for so long, I hope this is the one.

I'm starting to feel this way about video game protagonists lately. At least going forward, games should have or allow for MCs who aren't generic white dudes or a white guy the player automatically feels comfortable around.
Imo, the biggest problem with "white dudes" in films and games is that they're almost always from a very generic Western European background. Not that Peele needs to start making movies staring Slavs or other Eastern Europeans, but there is definitely something that can be drawn from the well that we haven't really "seen" yet. An Eastern European certainly fits into the mold of "white guy the player doesn't automatically feel comfortable around" given the xenophobia many of them still face in Western Europe. Hollywood and NY/LA game devs though are content to just make movies with Canucks, Brits, Americans and Aussies, and call it a day.

yes, please!

Seems someone at Epic read lashman Twitter and decided to run counterPR:
Why Valve actually gets less than 30 percent of Steam game sales

Always with just Valve having 30% cut in the whole industry.
nah, come on man ... it's actually a good article ... he's pretty much on point with everything he mentioned

My boyfriend, lashman , has me wanting to play Grim Dawn.

I have the money in my Steam Wallet, but I was somewhat waiting on Ace Attorney.
That's a tough choice. Ace Attorney is also... ace? :p

You'll be good with either one, and you should totally get the other when you get the chance. :)

nah, not even that ... he's right - volvo COULD afford to lower the cut ... just maybe not to the ridiculous 12%
I mean, that's true, but so could GOG, Sony and Microsoft, so I don't see why only Valve is being berated (again).

And why do they always forget they already lowered the cut? Not universally, but enough. Hell, that it's not universal could mean a cut down on the shovelware they like pimping out as an issue, if the profit isn't there they might stop releasing them. Any modest success gets to the 25% tier and indie games can get to the 20% tier if a hit, not just AAA games (where it's probably guaranteed even for a general flop AAA), So those numbers are even lower than ~20% for many now.

But I think that's overall a low key pro-Steam article in the current climate. Although it doesn't go in as much detail as it could.

I like the comparison to PSN and the like above. That should probably be used more as those platforms at least offer more of the features Steam does than Epic. Still far from all of them but they're closer, and have to charge you monthly for it, hehe.

formula fusion getting rebranded an a huge coming
we’ve re-branded Formula Fusion as "Pacer"
  • we are removing the Purchase option as we’re going to be increasing / changing the price when we launch Pacer later this year / summer
  • existing owners will still be able to play the game they have in their libraries and can expect a massive update at launch
  • Pacer will launch on XB1/PS4 with a free update on Steam. A new game; bigger, better, more polished in every way and a price to reflect this.
Release
On final release the game formerly known as Formula Fusion will be called Pacer and will feature:
  • a brand new UI and branding while retaining all the Designers Republic graphics
  • 14 Tracks: 6 brand new ones and 8 you’ll recognize from before but polished and improved until you can see you face in them
  • 5 Craft, each with its own handling characteristics but massively customizable in the Garage
  • 10 Weapons, including 4 new ones. Every one with considerably polished FX and mechanics plus new Modification cards
  • Loadouts for Handling, Weapons and Cosmetics
  • a completely rebuilt SinglePlayer Campaign based around playing through Careers in the 10 teams
  • a new auto-targeting system
  • a hugely optimized fps on Steam - a 1070 GPU maintains an average 140fps approx, maxing out at 200fps approx
  • new music from Cold Storage (8 track OST) and licensed tracks from a bunch of old favorites including DubFX and a many more
  • upgraded FX
  • upgraded Sound FX some by Tim Wright himself
  • hosted servers
  • Spectator mode from outside of the Lobby for viewing races from any craft at any angle: Chase, Nose, Orbit and Environment cameras
  • Tournament Mode multiplayer: set up a series of races in your Lobby, results update after each race
  • Ranked Mode for multiplayer: Results increase or decrease your ELO score in one global game leaderboard. Who will top it?!
  • voice chat in multiplayer - you’ve just blown up, tell them how you really feel!
  • a unique race mode for single and multiplayer which we’ll be revealing nearer to launch
  • a re-written physics and handling system
  • re-engineered, machine learning AI to give everyone a challenge
  • a massive lore expansion on the flip side of the game
  • languages: to be announced
trailer for that

I wonder what their real expectations were for the first week? Especially with a shadow drop. Without knowing any of the first game’s numbers if someone asked me a week ago how this game would sell I’d guess maybe 50k at this point and even that would have felt high for an EA release of a game dropped without preamble.

Big congrats to that team. And it’ll likely have a long tail, too.

I have 2 additions/nitpicks to your Epix-doc Hektor :

  1. In the Third-Party Authorized Resellers sections: Not all take 30%.
  2. The Epic Launcher does not work on Linux, as such any exclusives can not be played on Linux systems, even if the game had a working Linux version ready or announced before the moneyhat.

I need RoR2 to build in an endgame.

Also, I bought some games that were discounted; however, I’m going to wait for Grim Dawn to get a discount. Lastly, I’m going to wait to see the Ace Attorney reviews before I jump. What if it’s an absolute dogshit diaperfire from Hell?

Well, considering the type of game it is, I really don't see how they can screw up the ports.
Especially since this collection was released in Japan already (at least for the Switch) with English language support, and those who have it say the ports are very solid.

If you mean the actual games, I have played them on the Nintendo DS, and they are awesome.
Unless you really dislike adventure games, I would say there's a big chance you will have a lot of fun with the 3 games included.

Oh, I loved the first on DS. I just hope the PC port is good.

I really wanted to play some Sekiro yesterday and today but too tired to do so.
i know the feeling ... really need to get back to it (especially since i really enjoyed what i played of it so far)

I forgot I had this. I was like, “Sweet! It’s on sale now.” Welp, I have it.

Yeah, it's really fun. I come back from work and don't even end up booting up Steam. Sekiro's one of those games where I want to play constantly so I don't get too rusty.

My last days on Steam are Mad Games Tycoon and AC Origins, Sekiro is nowhere to be seen, for now, that is. I feel that I'd enjoy it more if I fully dedicate to it, and that will be impossible until I finish Origins.

I also downloaded Black Ops 2 and boy a game never made me feel old as BO2 did. I felt like my reaction time was a full minute before I could react to anything in the screen. Having to count in a single eye to see all that action didn't help either.
