Community MetaSteam | April 2019 - "Objection!" the One Finger Fatality

PC and Switch versions are already 2-3 patches behind. There's tons of combos that don't work, like you're playing another game.
I missed this update on the Halo insider flights. Apparently the PC version is more complicated than they expected and the flights might not start this month, though they're still aiming for April.
Honestly, how is getting Halo: Reach set up for PC so hard? Sega has teams of two or three handling the ports of their old console games to PC, while I think the whole of the MCC has two teams of hundreds working on it. Reach is also going to be initially releasing without user-created replays or maps, so that should cut down on a lot of the complexity.

I can sorta understand Switch version being behind, but did WB and NRS not learn anything from MKX pc port?
Congrats to askiisoft for what I think their biggest hit yet!

apparently ... and QLOC can't do anything on their own if NRS won't give them the patched stuff to implement either
wow that sucks. from the messy ingame economy to this, I don't think I'll try out the game anytime soon.
They talked how they wanted an experience as native to PC as possible. I can see how porting an old Xbox game and adding a UI that does all the things you want (and is usable with a cursor) can be a bit of work, depending on how it's coded.
Making a simplistic port that barely fits the platform is easy, making a great PC port takes time and work. And while I'm sure the Halo teams are huge, do we know how many are working on the PC stuff specifically? Tend to be smaller teams, going by experience.

yup ... so they're just sitting there, twiddling their thumbs, and waiting for NRS to finally give them the stuff they need
at least the port is decent - QLOC did what they do best ... so at least there's that
At least she came around on Epic and is calling out their crap now. More than you can say for most professional games writers.
Should also be said certain things in software development are not solveable by just throwing more manpower at a problem. Like, if one of the things you need to do is "code a menu with mouse support" and you estimate it takes 100 hours. Throwing 100 people at it does not suddenly make it done after hour. (And how would you even divide this among 100 people).
Game was DOA the moment they dropped Non-Sonic-SEGA characters
OP
OP
who knows ... but 2 months seems rather long for either ...
the only reason i can think of is - epic doesn't have something they need (functionality-wise) so they have to wait 2 months until they implement it
Gonna have to wait for those """"unfair"""" user reviews. :')
One thing I can say off the bat is the OST composed by same guy who did VA-11 HALL-A. \o/
OH LORDY
WAR OF THE SPARK IS LIVE
Don't you mean the Company of Heroes 2 Tankie?
Oh nice! I even have the vinyl for Va11-hall-a. Guess i'm gonna check it out on the weekend.

Well they hate customers but they like money. They like money a lot.
Could be fake news.
Apparently the notice only comes up if you block certain scripts. That's leading some to assume it's just leftover code from the last game.
phew
Yeah I saw the reply as well.
See now Lashman was gonna make me cancel the Highlight threads for foreseeable future cuz of this shit.
Don't pull this shit on me man.
What game is that? I hope 99.99 nets you the whole Mtx in the game lolWHO IS ABOUT TO DROP AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON MICROTRANSACTIONS????????????

Limited to max $100? not very micro, needs more digits.
Magic the Gathering Arena.
Gives me 90 Packs, 2 additional mythic rares and a sealed draft.
indeedi like them too!
hey guys ... RPS is good again!
Epic Store would end exclusives if Steam gave devs larger cut, CEO claims
Maybe she's stepping into John Walker's shoes?
It's been an interesting Thursday - Mortal Kombat11 pc port sucks, NRS ban 'pc' from their chat.
Tim Sweeney obviously seeing the forest for the trees, states he'd do better if his competition intentionally hobbled themselves and he'd be nicer to them. Then Sonic Racing PC up and gets delayed into nearly the fall.
It's only 2pm, what can the rest of the day bring.
OP

... or Spyro
sorry
Seriously, are we expecting to get CTR or Spyro on PC?
It's fucking daft that they haven't come to PC
I see. 90 packs doesnt seem too bad, IMO. Does the physical MTG have a Pokemon TCG equivalent of a code on each booster for an online pack?
OP
OP
at this point - i'm not so sure anymore
they never released that Snoopy game on PC either
at least with Crash they had an excuse to go back to it - the Xbone version ... with Spyro all the console versions are already out .......

I bought the $15 3,500 gems pack a couple of hours ago and used 3,000 to get 15 packs. Gonna go get 10 more through coins :3
Also lmao at Linkin Park in 2019.
I haven't touched the physical game in a while, but to my knowledge they're widly experimenting with that at the moment, trying out different things in different regions, like including a unique code in every pack, putting a non-unique code for multiple packs in physical packs or having pre-built decks include a unique code for a free MTGA version of said deck.
Linkin park was definitely a very weird song choice for the trailer, but i liked it.
Spyro can be as early as August, going by Crash Trilogy. I want it as early as July though so that when I visit my yong cousin in August I can get him to experience
Spyro
Crash
Team Sonic Racing
Sonic Adventure 2
Jurassic World Evolution
AC Origins' tour mode
Some classic castlevania games
Classic Mario
Monkey Island 1
...off the top of my head.
I am too much of a loving uncle :V
TBH I don't care for Liliana, and would've preferred if it focused on Gideon (how'd he survive all those zombies?) or Kaya.
Surely Crash trilogy did well enough on Steam to warrant porting Spyro and CTR? I personally even expect Spyro to release this year. Hopefully no EGS shenanigans thoughat this point - i'm not so sure anymore

we'll see ... who knows
I'm rather disappointed to say that after only 3 maps in I'm already rather over One Finger Death Punch 2
It's sadly rather repetitive already. The appeal of the first game held up much longer than this; don't get me wrong the first was completely new and this isn't, but it's been so long since then I expected it to still feel fresh

Yeah I feel like the single player should've been shorter, or kept the variety from the first game.I'm rather disappointed to say that after only 3 maps in I'm already rather over One Finger Death Punch 2

Still it's a game to play from time to time just to yell some kung fu kiais while rhythmatically killing stick men
As is I play up to 25% of a map each play session to not get burned out and then move to another game.

Yeah I've actually been 100%-ing maps so far and I feel like that's the worst way to play it.
Odd to say that, best way to play it is to deliberately not play it all, like the hinterlands
I'll probably just rush to the end and play something else soon.
