Maybe... I'm so sorry didn't mean to spoil you. I thought you were referring to the duo boss fight
I think that last '10%' is going to be really slow to achieve. In a lot of ways, we are technically only like 0.0000001% there. Game objects don't have volume, materials don't simulate nanoscale geometry effects on light wavelengths, game materials aren't procedural based on anything in the game world (or at the very most, extremely trivially simulatory.
Oh the other hand, I think we are at the point where games frequently have brief periods of being effectively 'photorealistic' or 'TV realistic' as it were.
SMT V sold 1 million on Switch, they could easily get to 5 million if they had a PC port, but alas.
So a fair few runs on Vampire Survivors and I think I unlocked about 6 or 7 characters. My favourite is either the bear that throws cherry bombs everywhere or the definately not Bayoneta, honest. Also finally completed my Pentagram run. That is a painful weapon to try and max out. At low levels it wipes out everything on the screen. Including exp crystals, floor chicken and chests. It slows down progression a lot. Even at higher levels it only reduces the chances of destroying the items. But when it is fully evolved, it is just amazing. It boosts Exp gems, I had never seen the gold one before, and when I unlocked it at 29.30 it just gave me 30 levels in one go.
Also spent far too much time on PvP on FFXIV. The new mode is fun, pops almost instantly and is quick. Drag the crystal to enemy territory. You get wolf marks and crystals for it. Wolf Marks are the original PVP currency and the crystals are the new set. Plenty of glamours in their and the Garo event is currently running. Best of all about the new mode, coms are restricted to token phrases so there is no toxicity in there. In/ount and spend you points.
There is a battle pass associated with it as well. Gets you some banners for the new portrait/player card system, some glams and currency. Nothing to really miss out on and runs for 4 months at anyrate.
Thing is it seems to be working, the Wolfs Den is always busy when I go there..

So sad Valve removed it, I bought Angels of Death, fate kaleid prisma illya, and some other seasons when they were available. I miss this.
At least the ones I purchased are still there on my library.
Weird to not just have Wolpaw in the headline. He's easily one of the best known video game writers out there.
It was in the Nvidia leak tho, just a matter of time
Just like the heat death of the universe

likely due timing, prior Eastern holidays/Season there was chrono cross so I guess they didnt want to overlap both things, wait a bit longer.
Releasing KH in the middle of the holidays would be likely less ideal than waiting until a less festive time.
Mor you're overthinking this, SE is just fucking stupid
I would be shocked if Square put any time into the timing of their releases. I assume they have a half finished store page lying around and just can't be bothered to do anything on it. Maybe when their janitor is back from Easter holidays and finds some time in between cleaning
I mean, yes, they're fucking stupid. We all know this. Recent news about their CEO's "play to earn" stance confirms that the company is run by chuckleheads.
But Mor does have a very good point. There is a time and a place to do this. Square Enix are currently trying to push the Chrono Cross remaster, and since the Kingdom Hearts IV announcement speculation on that game is pretty much dominating the fan discourse. A Steam release of year old EGS games is not likely to make the news right now.
Remember that S-E has an obligation to its shareholders to maximise its profits (ergo, their dividend). If they think they will have an opportunity to make a bigger deal out of the Steam launch to yield bigger profits, they will take that. That will probably involve some marketing, a modest launch discount (20% seems like the figure, since that's what they recently discounted it by on EGS despite giving NEO TWEWY and FF7R bigger discounts), and maybe even a patch for the PC version to improve performance or fix a few bugs or whatever.
But I do agree on principle that S-E are a truly bizarre company who make really stupid decisions on a regular basis.
I returned my Xbox last week for a full refund
I bought an Xbox One X when it released despite selling my original Xbox One and to this day I still wonder why. I mean, I know it was because of some x360 games BC, but still, I don't ever use it. So no way in hell Im buying a Series X/S.
I only have a Switch and PS5 in regards to current gen consoles and I barely use them either, only for that occasional exclusive, but even then I have yet to finish Demons and Returnal, Im waiting for those to come to PC. Those games require me to invest a lot of time in them to finish them, would rather do that on PC. I finished Forbidden West on PS5 as it was wasy and not a particularly long game.
For the Switch I will probably get that Kirby game at some point. Other than Xenoblade 3, BOTW2 and GoW Ragnarok, nothing for me for the consoles.
You all not my friend anymore.
Because Square Enix doesn't give a shit about their customers. I'm usually the last person to advocate piracy, but in this case, just go ahead and torrent it. Square got hundreds of millions from Epic anyway and doesn't deserve your money imo.
Honestly, I have gone too lazy to hunt for games online on some sketchy torrent sites. If Square doesn't want my money, then fine, there's plenty other games that I care about.
Yeah, also this, I have so many games to play I haven't bother torrenting a game in a very long time.
Waiting for games to hit Steam and buy them takes far less energy and time than finding a pirate site and downloading it on shitty speeds.
mine was mostly a joke, mostly because I truly believe they're stupid
There's two new interviews with Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman about Return to Monkey Island:

Good news for those that were worried they would completely discard CMI, EMI and TMI, they talk about that specifically, and they said they tried their best not to disregard those three games and what happens in them. Its a good read especially the AdventureGamers one.

I'm not really overthinking anything, S-E paid and commissioned both Epic and Steam SKUs, not launching one of the SKUs would mean they paid for nothing and same can be said for the other two.
I think it's a matter of the right timing, nothing else.
Easter holidays, bro!
Great, three more people saying Deck fans are shit
Dread Hunger - Expanding the Horizon | Update Preview - Steam News
New content is on its way! In this post we share some exciting previews of what’s to come as well as what QOL fixes we’ve made recently. Plus an easter treat...
Dread Hunger has sold 1 million units. It's been a fixture in the Steam top 10 charts the past few months and is a big hit in China.
From what I've read, Valve uses two suppliers for fans and one of them has the annoying whiny fans, so you're basically playing a fan lottery.
your mind seems foggy, perhaps Google can help you to unblockitit is?
I wouldn’t even know where to find a good torrent site . I just use a private tracker that I joined more than a decade ago. Still going strong
Nobody wins, except the fanboys for that side at that specific purchasing time
And even then they lose, because well....They're losers
