Sometimes you have to play mediocre/bad games to know how good good games really are.
I actually have it on EGS via a promo code, I found it fun, but I can't bother with the launcher

Fantastic news! Take care and enjoy Elden Ring!If things go well, this will be the month for my last chemotherapy treatment as well!Heck Cancer!!! The battle been long, but hopefully almost done.
Im impressed how well Weird West is doing and shows how big of a juggernaught Steam is.
The game is the second global best seller, has a higher standard price than "most" other Devolver and indie games, is available on game pass on PC and Xbox, also on EGS, coming to GOG and is on PS4/5 too.
Yet it is the second global best seller on Steam.
To me that shows multiple things, like how small EGS is and that PC game pass isn't all that popular. Also Steams popularity itself.
Sadly for EGS, Weird West is the only "big" multistore release it has had in weeks apart from Death Stranding Director's Cut.

Thank you Mor for the thread.
Dunno what I might buy this month as I'm currently a bit meh about everything. Already bought and refunded Crystal Project because there was way too much jumping around involved. Kaiju Wars looks interesting at the end of the month.

Nice, new thread.
Thanks Mor
I'm still loving Elden Ring so not sure if I'll buy any more games this month

tERRORbane is out
Edit:
I grabbed Coromon and Crystal Project for this month, still need to finish Anno Mutatione and start Norco so I'll play less of Elden Ring so I have more time for other games.

Thanks for the lovely thread Mor! 
Only the Lego Star Wars game is a must-buy for me, but I'll wait for a price drop and play games from my backlog instead.

Nothing really catches my eye but it's mostly because I'm still deep into ER, call me in August I might be free from it by then... maybe...

Another backlog month for me. Got so many games I need to play it’s ridiculous.
Thanks for the thread, Mor

More Elden Ring for me as well this month, and then games on Deck probably

this released yesterday:
It's a 3D fantasy RPG map creator with AI assistance. This process seems super simple and quick, but you cant play in the maps, they have to be exported, which is a bit of shame, because it creates enviroments that are inviting to play around in.
And I always like the idea of creating maps/levels in a super simple way – like just using my SimCity 2000 maps in SimCopter, that was amazing (for the time). I wish I could have a map creator like a city builder whose maps you can then use to play in
Map editors were always a bit too taxing for me unfortunately, so I never got far with them...I tried Unity, but same story there.
I know of Dreams, which is supposed to be great, maybe that will come to PC some day... or maybe they will add something like that to Dungeon Alchemist --- or maybe someone here knows of a game/tool that can do this?

I just bought Crusader Kings III Royal Edition for some reason! It was only $30 on CDKeys, but it's so out of my normal sphere of games. I imagine I'll either bounce off it immediately, or be sucked in forever.
Razer did a pretty well made April Fools video
Had to refund Weird West as it just didn't play nice with my hardware.
Tried several troubleshooting adjustments like lowering graphics settings and even refresh rates, but not matter what I tweaked my fans just kept running at a constant +75%.
That level of noise is really a non-starter as I game in a shared space with my wife (and it's not like a tower case across the room, it's a gaming laptop 2 ft. next to her on a couch).
Sigh.
Might check out Rail Route this weekend as it's on sale and I remember really enjoying the demo during one of the Steam Next events.

Same. Have two missions left in Desperados III. Started Onde, been playing some Mechs vs. Kaiju, also started Moncage, might start Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator etc...
Tried in on Gamepass but the controls did not gel with me. Mouse or controller, shooting was just frustrating. Maybe I missed something.
The marketing pitch is completely off the mark. This is made to play porn games, not Dark Souls.

Why??If the price is good, I will pick up Godfall.
Edit: ah already covered.
Nah my point still stands
Thanks for the new thread Mor !
Chrono Cross remaster this month. God I hope it doesn't suck. Already worried based on the videos they've shown and the music tracks they've put out. Might have to hold until theod scene comes in and fixes it.

Capcom Stadium Vol II rated on Korea
it's weird that they decide to release a new volume and no more DLC content for the first one
Currently quite sick but this thread is always a nice distraction
Yo, I have upgraded my pc! Changed mobo + cpu (+ ram).
What's the ideal temperature for an i5-1600k with a noctua nh-u12s?
Also, what temperature should I check on HWINFO?
At the moment, after a stress test, I have:
CPU PACKAGE : 69 max - min 42
CPU CORE TEMPERATURES : 68 max - min 0
Sorry for the OT, and nice OP!

Let’s fucking gooooooooo! You got this buddy, kick this cancer’s ass.it's a new month but i'm still plugging along in my Elden Ring completionist run.122 Hours. That and the art of learning well... art, has taken all my time lately.
If things go well, this will be the month for my last chemotherapy treatment as well!
Thanks Mor and lashman for the threads! Let's have a good April everyone.
Do we know what's going to be in the second volume?

Still no news about vol II content, people are begging for licensed games like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, The Punisher, Alien vs Predator, D&D (this one is still up on Steam).
I hope I’m wrong but I doubt we see any of the first three because rights. Must be quite hard to find who holds Cadillacs & Dinosaurs rights, after Capcom’s CPS game, Rocket Science Games released another one for SegaCD, and I don’t see Capcom spending many money to find who is today owner.
New thread smell....

New event thingy is online:
The MIX 10th Anniversary Showcase
This year marks The MIX’s 10th anniversary since the showcases first started at IGN’s 2nd street office during GDC and we’ll be celebrating all year!
the usual fare: upcoming games, demos, sales, fancy illustrations
Month of the Godfall is not a good month
Agreed. April is just a long month of waiting for Ani-May to get here.
Man of Medan finished. It was nice little experience. Now i will try to play Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition. Let's see how long i will last XD
Sigh
I’m dropping Scarlet Nexus
It’s picked up a bit since I last posted but not enough after nearly the half way point; life is too short for mediocre games.
Shame I was quite looking forward to this one.
I fear this doesn’t bode well for Tales of Arise that’s in my backlog too

Scarlet Nexus is decidedly mediocre. The story sucks, and the gameplay, while solid, is a little too one note to carry the crap story. A big shame because there’s a lot of promise there.Sigh

I really enjoyed it myself, mainly for the combat mechanics, but it's definitely not for everyone. the level design admittedly sucks and the story, while not without its moments, is ultimately just a pile of convoluted anime nonsense
Great thread, Mor !
Really looking forward to Chrono Cross. Been ages that I played the game last, and it's nice to finally have both Chrono games on PC.

Maybe I'll finally play Chrono Cross.
I don't have much fate in Square to treat the pre-rendered backgrounds or the videos with care, so here's hoping that it's relatively easy to mod and the community will do a better job by the time I play it.

I loved Scarlet Nexus - was the surprise of last year for me. But as it relies heavily on Anime tropes, I can see how it is not for everyone.
Apparently Schreier confirmed 3 weeks ago that FFT Remaster is real
The main problem with Chrono Cross is you can't play the game with original soundtrack. Only the reimagined ost is available.
Dream of the shore near another world was a master piece.

That will be fixed on PC by the community.
