Control was a 8.5/10 for me but would have been higher if I had had more time with it. (library rental) The weirdness elements were actually slightly tame compared to what I expected as a decade long reader of the SCP Foundation Wiki. My only disappointment of the game was how it had been toned down from its SCP origins and some gameplay frustrations, especially at the end.
Once you close the portal the Hiss have been coming through, you get down to the actual business of being director, which felt AWESOME for the hour that I gave myself to do that. All of those side missions that weren't important in the moment? Now it's your job. Probably the best post game of this gen for me. (Nothing beats Pokémon Gold's postgame) Lots of mystery left over too.
Volunteer community moderators? Come on. I know many companies do that but I hoped Valve was better in that sense. Pay your fucking full-time moderators (and translators, since Steam localization is also done by volunteer community members) and stop parasitizing on people's goodwill and sense of accomplishment only because they do work for free for a billion dollar company they like.
Steam Store
Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.
Should I just return it then since I think I will find that annoying.
Welp I guess this sucks then since my replacement mouse would end up costing me a pretty penny.
Does anyone know what other USB Logitech mice that have the LighySync option are looked upon as favorable?
My G500s mouse wheel just stopped scrolling entirely. I'm usually able to clean it out from the outside, but that doesn't seem to be helping anymore. Rip.
I'd open it up, but my screwdriver is too fat to fit into the final middle screw. I think I'm just going to get a new mouse.

I'm finally done with Spyro... 
Considering almost all achievements for the 3rd game are rare (<10% players have them) I'm guessing I'm far from being the only one thinking each game is less enjoyable than the previous. Perhaps playing them back-to-back also wasn't the smartest idea on my end.
PS: Whoever thought the skating minigame is fun should be shot. Whoever greenlit 4 skating segments should be shot into space.
PPS: The Speedway levels were never fun, especially in the first game.

ive noticed something recently,
both ashen and devils hunt and a few other unreal engine 4 games if you run them as admin it completey bypass steam drm and steam integration (achievements etc) and the game still launches fine.
lol

I would assume Steam integration would still work if Steam itself was run as admin? That part not working kinda makes sense, but seems like the DRM should check pre-launch.
the point im making is, ive brought ashen devils hunt and few other games on steam, launch without running game as admin, steam works and friends achievements time tracked all works.
launch the game as admin none of that is working but game works fine.
effectively i could refund the game through steam now and still play fine.
or even finish the game and then refund because running as admin the game time and stuff isnt tracked
And I was saying what you're describing sounds like the game running as designed when not launched through steam. If it doesn't have baked in Steamwork DRM, Steam won't care if the game launches without it, you just lose all the steamworks features. That this loophole exists is only a problem for the same scenario you described, which I have to imagine is rare and I doubt there are many accounts doing this before someone catches on.
This kind of hypocrisy makes me laugh every time. I'm looking at the comments on their HL:A article and everyone's like "Yeah it should totally release here" and the Ghost article everyone's calling PC users port beggars
I think I'm enjoying playing as King Knight over the original Shovel Knight.
lashman's LiS2 push is starting to have a reverse effect on me, little by little.
I call it the Undertale effect.

I mean, is it the same people? I know some people have that level of hypocrisy but mostly I expect it's just different ones.This kind of hypocrisy makes me laugh every time.

You're right, I shouldn't generalize like that, but I have seen some people think both ways.

I've been playing Metal Gear Solid 5
who the hell thought giving a deadly disease to random members of your staff was a good idea?
From reddit. I hope this is real.
EDIT: Its a store thing. But this is the PC Store, So its still possible Control could be coming to the PC Windows Store and/or gamepass.

Wouldn't surprise me, A Plague Tale is part of Origin Premier, Control is clearly coming to XBOX Gamepass at least and RE3 is coming soon, get people interested.

Good thing I bought it centuries ago. Need to give TLR another go, sometimes it feels too generic for my liking.The Last Remnant Remastered now available for smartphones

Yeah, the gameplay is one of a kind (if slow), but everything else seems like a hodge podge of different SE games, the towns look like somerthing scratched from FFXII with similar races populating it, and story is whatever. It has its charm tho.
To me the game is in the same ballpark as Enchanted Arms and Infinite Undiscovery. It may not sound as a big praise, but I'll take those over 95% of JRPGs of today.

Unrelated to the rest of the thread, there is a new paper by Nvidia to generate portraits of fake people.
I once ran their (previous) code on Steam banners, and the results were interesting, but I did not have the patience and hardware to run the code for up to 2 months on one GPU, which would be the requirement to reproduce the results. Basically, if you are not a GPU manufacturer, or if you are not fiflthy rich, then reproducing this quality seems impossible from scratch by training on your own data. I remember someone did it on anime images, I don't remember how.

Honestly, I am fine with never seeing The Last Remnant on PC again. Rarely seen a game where I grew to hate the protagonist with such a passion.The Last Remnant Remastered now available for smartphones

Had the same impression overall .. From the trailers I've always pictured the game taking place in a periodically changing environment, or something you'd have a hand over since apparenty the building has its own consciousness and it just didn't feel anything particularly unique / special outside of the premise and Ahti
+ the balance being a bit all over the place didn't ciment my playthrough as a sort of unforgettable experience, I was just very excited at the implications of the story at the end
Thinking about it down the line, I had way more fun with Quantum Break
I'm tempted to get Wasteland 2 every time it's on sale but never get around to it because my plate is always full. Now the game is free on gog. Gotta love PC gaming.
Between Amid Evil and Ion Fury what would be a bigger bang for a buck? As far as retro shooters go I'm more of HL, Unreal, Undying guy than Blood guy.
It's both sad and interesting to see pc gaming enthusiasts sailing the high seas and openly talk about it again after so many years. And the funny thing is, I don't blame them. I would even prefer them to pirate a game over buying it on EGS. Should I feel bad now?
Well it's like Hexen (Amid Evil) vs. Duke Nukem (Ion Fury) style
Then I guess Ion Fury has an advantage. Amid Evil would have to wait.Well it's like Hexen (Amid Evil) vs. Duke Nukem (Ion Fury) style
Theswweet Thanks for the help before. I think I can enjoy the a bit more. I am now aiming to get more United Attacks, which decreases the cost of each tech in the next round. So I am able to perform more stronger attacks early in the fight. I also tried other Formations to see if they are more fun and indeed they give a different challenge to the fight, but at least it's more varying fights
Edit: Btw, I am talking about SaGa Scarlet Grace Ambition

Ion Fury for sure but the devs are utter trash beings
Gonna do an old Doom engine playthrough of just about everything I can think of, also need to buy Quake II
Oh, didn't know that, but now that you mentioned it I vaguely remember threads on the other site, guess I have to dig them up.
REmake 2 Achievement Image Suggests MAJOR DLC - Rely on Horror
More than just a letter? Maybe, considering we just discovered that the Xbox One image for that new REmake 2 achievement reveals more than we thought!

oh shit the 4chan leak!
That's neat. Maybe it drops today during Keighleys.REmake 2 Achievement Image Suggests MAJOR DLC - Rely on Horror

Just in time for me to play RE2.
New Total Warhammer 2 DLC rolling out today:
Adds two new sub factions and a couple new units for Dark Elves and Skaven (evil rats).
They are going to release a mayor patch alongside the DLC called "potion of speed". In addition to balance changes it will add improved AI routines that should significantly improve turn time. TW2 never left my disc since release and changed a lot since then. Hard to recognize it tbh, maybe not the best game ever, but incredibly addictive and every faction plays completely different. Even sub-factions can be different. The amount of content here is mind blowing,

- Malus Darkblade has to balance his demonic possession while looking for a cure.
- Snikch is the Skaven Masterassassin and leader of Skaven Clan Echin. It is said that he can bring down entire nations with a simple snap and a command towards his assassins. But that would be Heresy (Note: He can).

Which one of you weirdos did this?
It's my most played game on Steam, the amount of content is incredible!
I'm really curious about the new AI routines. The long turn times turned me off to play the Mortal Empires campaign.
Hoping I can idle the Game Awards on Steam and still get drops. I work 9-9 today and then 9-5 tomorrow, so I will not be staying up when I get home from work.
