my cousin installed because wasteland 3 was free, then a week later his pc was so slow and has problems (random blue screen really slow startup with ssd) we deleted that and everything was back to normal, so i dont have proof but i dont recommendHas anyone here heard of or even tried "Robot Cache" ? I only learned about its existence just now.
Robot Cache
Robot Cache - The world's first decentralized video game distribution and resale platform using the block-chain.store.robotcache.com
Apparently it is the first PC digital game store where you can sell your games when done with them?
That alone seems interesting, I would love to be able to trim my steam library and get few eurobucks in the process.
Speak for yourself. Based on the review/retired thread, Im not only playing my games, but finishing them too.that's fine - we don't play games around here, we just collect them
So, been playing BG3 a lot recently. Mainly in Co-Op with 2 other friends. Been great so far and running over discord has kind of been like a campaign with an invisible DM.
However thinking of also starting a solo game. There is a lot you miss out on when one person is controlling the other Playable Character. You can miss a lot of the conversations that are being held. And you don't get to interact with too many of the playable characters outside of the camp.

You should see an ear icon on the avatar on the side of the screen if they are in a conversation that lets you join in to see if you click on it.
I don't know if you can really call that new Atelier a mainline game since it's not coming to consoles at all. The devs/pubs can call it whatever they want, but come on.
Atelier is a bit premature at this point I think.

Yo anybody wanna split up that Baldur's & RPG bundle @ humble? I only need three from it. Like NWN CE, BG2 and Planescape.
I'm 55 hours in, and haven't even seen the city yet.
This is genuinbly the biggest RPG ever made.
From what j have heard, first time indie devs will complain about how cryptic releasing on Steam is (poor documentation). And by there third gams release it won't be as bad.
Meanwhile when they try to release on consoles next they are meet with a LOOOT of red tape.
There are benefits of Steam but if it's your first time and if you don't have a publisher then it will be rather complicated.
I tend to believe reselling digital games would result in a hellscape as publishers scramble to find ways to encourage the full price purchases. Like suddenly rather than having nice long tale sales forever we get forced scarcity limited release of keys in order to keep the resale value high.
I'd rather leave things as they are than risk opening the cam of worms. Most games get decent discounts in time of an amount I'd probably never get back even if I wanted to sell them.
I think full reselling of digital games would make all the gaming-as-a-service monetization strategies even more appealing, so yeah, not a fan.

good bundle, great games, highly recommended
The daily avatars you get from the VN sale are nice.
Are stores like CDKeys or YuPlay giving Starfield pre-order keys or will I have to stress about it until the last minute ?
I mean it's usually this way, but given that the game apparently can be pre-loaded, maybe keys are distributed ?

So I was able to buy a second hand X99 motherboard for a reasonable price. Installed it into the computer and the thing boots without a hitch. Desktop gaming is back on the table!
Star Wars and LOTR would be amazing by Larian.
I think they could do a Cyberpunk game as well. Like a new Shadowrun or even Deus Ex. A more stealthy isometric Deus Ex reboot in the vein of this formula will be really good.
For me the dream Larian game going forward is a new Star Trek. Imagine how epic that would be with the ambition of BG3 in the Star Trek world and all the characters/worlds/races/companions/stories they could tell. They should go for the license and try to pull it off. They will probably be able to get any license they want after the success of BG3 so it will be interesting if they do decide to pull another popular ip for their next game.
Resellling would lead to a lot of legal issues but Valve does have the infrastructure in place to pull off a game "trading" market. They could put in place a lot of proper limitations that don't piss off publishers too much. For example you can only trade a game for similar value and price its going for on the steam store. They could also limit people to trading once a week or once a month. They could make people meet the requirements for being able to trade, regional restrictions, publishers approval, not being able to trade same games etc
I think Steam is by far the only platform on the market that has a chance to make something like that work and the right amount of trading liquidity could even lead to bigger game sales.
The time to pull off something like that is long gone tho imo Valve should have tried this 10 years ago when Steam inventory feature was more of a wild wild west and that would have been a better time to test these type of crazy things. With how big Steam has gotten it would be very difficult to do it today.
I hope BG3s success means that Larian can make whatever they want. And I hope they want more quirky Divinity games.
A game that isn't bound by the conventions of D&D and free to be weird in the way they want. Would be so cool.

I have a hard time imagining a future without a new Divinity game for Larian. Seems like a given.
If someone gets new AMD CPU or GPU and doesn't want Starfield (if it comes wit it) I would buy it XD Yes I want to live dangerously and play Bethesda game day 1 XD
Changing gears, I'm interested in seeing how Overwatch 2 will do. Outside of the novelty of Blizzard games on Steam, it doesn't feel like there is much hype around the release. Granted Overwatch has a terrible reputation in the gaming circles I follow so I might be off the mark.
Quake II should be updating soon. Remaster is already up for consoles.

Bethesda has put more effort into $10 Quake 2 port than Rockstar with $50 Red Dead Redemption port...
For those wondering, the new Overwatch 2 release on Steam supports Proton without any tweaks needed.
They also added FSR 2.2 to the game, and honestly, even at 67% resolution scaling, it looks better than native res with SMAA. Just make sure you have a high enough framerate where TAA motion artifacts won't be a problem.
BattleNet was antiquated, and the launcher really didn't have a reason to exist even back in the 2010's. Now Blizzard just needs to release great games again and fix up their workspace culture, and maybe I'll buy a full priced game from them again.

Rockstar and T2 know their fans will gobble it up. Same for the lack of a pc release. Why do it now when you can get double dippers later?
I can't wait for the straw that will break the camel's back
Overwatch 2 has 28K CCU so far
I played a few games and, yep, its still Overwatch 2

33k on Overwatch 2
Apparently there's an issue with purchases so I'd not do that!

What's life without taking risks.
I genuinely don't think this straw will ever come.
It felt like the 2077 fiasco might've brought about change, but alas...
Oh I think it will end up affecting the bottom line.
Only it will be interpreted in exec terms, so "clearly the fans don't want the old games, let's reassign every single dev to make GTA Online skins".
Hollow Borne with a new trailer.
soooo
i did a thing and then messed around with said thing

Overwatch 2 plateaued at 40K for now
Think about Blizzard as a company and Overwatch 2 as a game what you want, but In terms of bringing a game over to Steam, this is a pretty good effort. My concerns about account progress were unfounded, too; it was all there. It also automatically added previous achievements. EA & Ubisoft should take notes. No launcher, easy account linking, and youre in.
Unfortunately I got a "couldnt connect to server" error a few times just as it found a game; dunno if this is a Linux-specific thing or not (it runs perfectly otherwise, as before) so I didnt play much. Game-wise, Overwatch 2, for me, still is a downgrade from Original Overwatch and I hate that they completely replaced that game.

I could see them going for a Baldurs Gate 4 right away, which might put any new Divinity game years and years into the future.
Seen this indie before showing off various elements like combat actions and what not but I guess it's gonna be a much bigger game than I thought.
I redeemed the Game Pass perk on my Xbox and it worked perfectly fine with my Steam account. I'm impressed at how seamless everything was.
