looks like SEGA decided the filthy poors don't get to enjoy their games anymore (Sonic Superstars here, but also like 2 or 3 recent pre-orders that went up are all missing in the same countries), at any price point:
and speaking of regional pricing - here's what Bamco are doing now (Tekken 8):

CP2077 Expac looks amazingggg 
Just worried about how much bugs it will launch with...
On the bright side my PC build is pushed to 2024, so should be good to go by then...

That's a very faithful reproduction of Austrian trains, can confirm that much. Not sure why'd you spent real money to look at them, though.
Made by... Supermassive? Didn't expect that.
It's kinda inevitable since the IP is owned by Bamco but Tarsier is owned by Embracer. There was no chance to ever see the original devs work on a third entry. At least Supermassive has horro experience
Caught up with the Gamescom ONL show and it was pretty good. Not a lot of new things but a good amount of gameplay/updates were shown.
And Rebel Moon looked very crazy/ambitious. Will definitely check it out.
I hate that wide blurry edge lens tho. Snyder did the same with Army of the Dead. It all feels like you are watching some long dream sequence instead of the actual present movie.

Wow, Denuvo somehow found a way to make Unreal Engine games even more terrible on PC, somehow:
Denuvo Unreal Engine Protection and Integrity Verification features deliver the next level of game security.
Who even asked for this? The Unreal Console Unlocker tools are only really used for single-player games that have barebones in-game options (like not being able to disable motion blur or chromatic aberration), and for stuff like photo mode. The only people modifying game binaries for Unreal are the ones that want to mod in PlayStation prompts or not make games using that engine zoom in on ultrawide monitors (in the case they're using a custom game instance where you can't just use a config tweak to change it). These games were already dogwater for me (and many others) on PC, and I got tired of having to make fixes for them when most of them share the same issues. It likewise doesn't have great C++ documentation (especially for plugins), which is why I stopped using it in my own personal project.
Like this is genuinely scummy for single-player games, and any game that uses it will be on my instant boycott list.
In other news, and to rub salt on the wound, I'm glad that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is using Unity (without IL2CPP at that), is open for modders (and have outright said there's a dedicated channel for that on the developer's discord server), and has a PC port that doesn't require mods to function decently. It's also a pretty fun game to boot. I don't want to cite "game engine wars", and I know there's some people that will find my comments on Unity to be egregious (Even if I've seen way more shovelware with Unreal), but man, as someone who exclusively used Unreal until just recently, I'm tired of how bad of a state the engine and the games that use it are usually in.

I just want to chime in to say that PureDark can fuck off with his onlyfans model of modding
Thats not what modding Is about and its the most disruptive thing the modding scene has seen in the last 20 years

He deserves it after (Cyberpunk Edgerunners spoiler) what he did to Becca.
Also can get wrong people from publisher/dev side looking at mods... like Dota 2 thing some weeks back.

I ordered this monitor:
www.expertreviews.co.uk
It's the only one I could find with VA display, 1440p, 10-bit color, low response time and GSYNC-compatible.
I just hope the 31.5" size isn't too big for me.

Ive buyed 3 AOC monitor and they've always been a pleasant surprise. Panel quality, reliability, functionalities and even for the amount of port available on them. Currently rocking their AG353UCG, It still drop my jaw when HDR kicks inI ordered this monitor:

HEY HEY when was this announced? I missed it!
Sega's first $70 game. I'll be using Game Pass for this one and saving my money to roll for the 44 year old housewife in the gacha game.
Taking the question of other forum
How much playtime per week you perceive as healthy and normal as working adults?
Even without relationship or kids, I can barely must 8 hours per week. My job is really demanding...
How is it for y'all?
How much playtime per week you perceive as healthy and normal as working adults?
- 1 - 5 hours
- 6 - 10 hours
- 11 - 15 hours
- 16 - 20 hours
- 21 - 25 hours
- Over 25 hours

How is it for y'all?
My work week never exceeds 40 hours/week. I have a family and kids got their activities, I might get 11-15 hours/week
I'm lucky to have a nine to five job and 3 days a week remote work from home. So even after cooking, supper, loading the dishwasher and spending time with my wife and daughter, I can spend about 2.5 hours a day on gaming or watching TV.
The actual playtime a week depends on many other things: social activities, the weather, new seasons for a show I like etc.
Around ten hours, maybe more. Im lucky that my GF doesn't mind me playing BG3 on my steam deck in the morning, I get up earlier while she wants snooze a long time, gives me perfect opportunity to get some gaming in.
I only play during commuting on weekdays so around 1 hour per day. then 2-3 hours per day during weekends. Good enough.
Depends on the week, mood and how much you are hooked to the game. But I would say average 6-10. Spouse and 1 kid here.
I'm not really worried about it. Denuvo for Switch also seemed a big deal but no game used it. This will end up being the same. Lately Irideto seems to be releasing press releases every 2 months about some new "revolutionary technology" but nothing is actually coming out. This smells like desperation just like that "too many gamers see denuvo as the devil :, ( " interviewWow, Denuvo somehow found a way to make Unreal Engine games even more terrible on PC, somehow:

I feel like even publishers are realizing how much the denuvo services cost (both in money and bad publicity) compared to the gains (literally nothing)
2K and EA will use it, but their PC games suck shit anyway
Irdeto want a product that is more tightly interweaved into a game so the developer/publisher continues to pay (or delist the game from sale).
Encrypting an exe is easily reversed once the publisher decides they’ve had enough of paying for Denuvo on that game. Semi-permanently fucking the game files is a bigger undertaking to remove if you decide to stop paying.
Rather than being an infinite money stream for Irdeto, I suspect if games use this, they will eventually vanish from stores once the developer/publisher doesn’t want to pay for it anymore.
So a disaster for preservation and people’s libraries.
What I perceive as healthy is any length of time that does not cause you harm, which is purposely vague since it's individual.
I can maybe squeeze 2 to 3 hours a night after everyone goes to bed, maybe a smidge more if I want to sacrifice sleep
. When WFH, I can maybe squeeze upwards of an hour during lunch. All told I maybe play 10 to 15 hours a week most weeks unless I am completely engrossed in something.
Like any other hobby, the correct answer would be ‘the amount of time that doesn’t overlap with other responsibilities’
Usually my steam recent activity for the past 2 weeks hovers around the 20 hours or so, but that doesn't include FFXIV (which I don't have on steam), and since lately I've been playing FFXIV for at least 1 hour each day (more on the weekend), I'm guessing around 16~20 hours per week? Maybe slightly more?
It fits well to a store that has been on maintenance mode since the first day it was up and running
the Square-Enix equivalent of the Bat-Signal for Batman
I mean, if they're doing this, then they must be getting close to desperate for relevance right? Not sure why else a business would make this move.
Tim continues the winding down process. Now he wants to get exclusives for peanuts without paying upfront. Good luck with that.
