Speaking of NPR, Wattam got a spot on there the other day as well.
I played the alpha and beta and quickly realised it was not for me ._.Me: Nioh isn't so ba-
First Boss:
FWIW, i've beat every FROM Souls-like and their DLC =/
I'm playing Ys games on Nightmare/inferno, a single Nioh shan't stop me!
I played last month Ys I and II on nightmare and by the end I just wanted the sweet release of death.I'm playing Ys games on Nightmare/inferno, a single Nioh shan't stop me!
Am I a cool kid if I just bought the game (to be most probably eternally lost in an evergrowing backlog)?
POLYBIUS · AppID: 906120
POLYBIUS is a fast, trippy tunnel shooter playable on a normal screen or in VR. 50 levels of blissful trance shooting action are set to a blistering soundtrack. The PS4 version was EDGE Magazine's VR GOTY in 2017, and the PC version of the game was even used as the basis for a NIN music video...
POLYBIUS got a hefty price cut today.
Minotaur Arcade Volume 1 · AppID: 906110
Minotaur Arcade brings you arcade-style games with a modern twist, playable in 2D or in VR for that 80s Tron "inside an arcade game" feeling. Vol. 1 consists of two Llamasoft classics - "Gridrunner" as the arcade game that might have been, and "GoatUp" as a light-hearted platformer that will...
That one too.

I found that the further you go into the game and the more it opens up the easier it gets (Until the fucking DLC). It never gets "easy" per say and its always pretty challenging but its difficulty definitely balances out and becomes less of a chore.Me: Nioh isn't so ba-
First Boss:
Its definitely one of my favorite games released in the past few years and i'm really looking forward to Nioh 2 when it eventually comes to PC but the beginning is a bit frustrating.
My Christmas break begins today, so I'll be putting serious hours into it.
... right after I've done my last-minute Christmas shopping.
You forgot the music.

I've never even heard of A Short Hike but I don't consider Gone Home to be a real game. Much like Dear Esther the lack of obstacles stopping you from reaching your goal(s) define it as an interactive experience.
That said, a meme game is a different thing.
Yeah, I think that's the first time I ever saw something called "FXAA" in-game and actually be much worse than even the lowest-quality FXAA profile. (I happen to think that HQ FXAA profiles are actually pretty decent, especially combined with high resolution rendering)
Polybius in PSVR or PCVR is quite a ... thing. Like Tetris Effect it's great on a screen too and when you get in the zone you can just flow through them and they're amazing but then i fall out of it and suck again for a while. If you've played a Llamasoft game then you know what to expect. A pure arcade experience with maaaaad visual efects and great music.
Don't play or go near it if you are photosensitive though, it'll mess you up.

I also have the displeasure of experiencing Ys VIII first-hand from its Free Weekend a few months back. It was bad.I'm playing Ys VIII right now, and after installing Special K to get proper AF (because that's a totally normally thing to do in 2019, god I hate NISA), and disabling the ingame "FXAA" (which is literally just a fucking blur effect, who the hell did they gave this port to?) and replacing it with proper FXAA from Nvidia, I still got a blurry screen. And I finally figured out why: It's their shitty SSAO effect. It probably runs at half-res by default and is terribly unstable under any kind of movement. And of course the game gives me zero options to change it. And disabling SSAO isn't much of an option, since the game's geometry is super low-res and without some ambience occlusion, it looks super flat.
But at least I don't need to worry about crashes anymore, since a fan patched that out (did I already say fuck NISA?)!
Looking forward to playing Cold Steel III, ported by this same company
And at this point I'm just feeling to cynical to believe they hired Durante
Imagine the pleasure of playing Trails of Cold Steel 2, at 5120x2880 downsampled to 2560x1440, locked at 120fps without any framerate spikes (check out the graph, top right)
And then compare it with trying to get Ys VIII to run properly without crashing in 2560x1440, 60fps, but with uneven frame pacing (check the graph, bottom right), even in cutscenes.
Is there a 52 games in a year challenge thread?
I've just cleared the 52 mark ^_^

Polybius in VR is basically:
I have it installed, but haven't played it in a very long time.
I can't think of a Challenge thread but there may be one but there is a thread for counting games you have beaten this year.
X games this year or lets document our metagaming addiction where X is a positive integer
Just Henry Cavill passing by
Try to not look him in the eyes or you'll get trapped in there. Took me about 42 min to get out.

Yakuza 0 is the best game of the decade.
It's weird - I had no issues running the game at 1440p/144FPS on my OC'd Vega 56 during the free weekend.I also have the displeasure of experiencing Ys VIII first-hand from its Free Weekend a few months back. It was bad.

Luckily much more stable for me in terms of framerate, though no where near super smooth either. Did you check out Special K back then? It helps with framerate too, from what I gather. There's a default-on option to stop needless copies of the framebuffer
Yeah, I reckon it could be a driver issue. I remember there was some major issue in the NV driver released during that time
Yea I used SpecialK for both games. Although I didn't look into installing the mod floating around in Steam Community forum.
Along with Astrobot its my most favorite VR game, the depth perception in there is beyond amazingPolybius in VR is basically:
Also Polybius with Hue Lights sync is beyond trippy lmao
Planned to play RDR2 epilogue today and then a bit of DMC5 but my ear is hurting so fucking much. Tomorrow morning I'll visit a medic and hopefully I can get back to my games before the year ends

I had an ear infection a couple of months ago (A week after I started swimming again to not die an early death in front of a monitor). Not a good time.Planned to play RDR2 prologue today and then a bit of DMC5 but my ear is hurting so fucking much.

Get well soon.
I really think it's Minter's magnum opus. There is a ton of depth, a ton of mechanics, and it is visually spectacular, technically impressive (at least for running on PSVR at 120Hz with tons of AA on a vanilla PS4, but it's also so vividly colorful on OLED) with an amazing OST.Polybius in VR is basically:
Is "Ape Out" worth downloading?
Just play sans sound while your getting better! RD2 has great subtitles and visual indicators and DMC5 is mostly visual.
I feel your pain. Dont fuck with ear infections. Got myself screwed by one 13 years agoPlanned to play RDR2 prologue today and then a bit of DMC5 but my ear is hurting so fucking much. Tomorrow morning I'll visit a medic and hopefully I can get back to my games before the year ends

High fps stuff in games can be relll
I had issue with it but then I switched to border less window mode and then GSync kicked in. Because it does have issues if you don't have VRR it would seem?
But didn't Nier G also count since it was released in 2009 or something like that?

Tinnitus, some hearing loss and sensitivity to sound. I was borne with some hearing loss but this infection sealed the deal from mild to moderate loss.
Say what you want about EGS, but they are the clear winner of this sale. People just love big price cuts for their purchase.
I see that every time I use emulator lol.
Define 'winner'. I mean, the EGS has the vastly superior offer, and I don't doubt they are moving copies, but by how much remains to be seen.
And at the end of the day, personally, even with my love for cheaper things, I just don't trust Epic with my money. It would feel like being back in time and buying Fables 3 on Games for Windows.
Uh, a... friend did that.
Merry Christmas everyone! I'm so going for a chocolate overdose today. It's just a Swedish thing? To binge on chocolate from those boxes?

They don't have those in France from what I've seen.XD I miss those.T_T I bought a small box of chocolate truffles but will look later for a proper box like I'm used to haha.Merry Christmas! Is it a box of Paradis or Aladdin?
Don't forget we also have After Eight, Merci, Guliyan seashells etc!
Chocolate for days!

About one week ago I tried some After Eight chocolate for the first time in my life. Who thought that toothpaste-filled chocolate would be a great idea?Don't forget we also have After Eight, Merci, Guliyan seashells etc!

Here's my proposal for a re-branding.
...I actually dislike chocolate in general...
Edit: nevermind, forgot my mind somewhere.

By the way how do boxes of chocolates work? That has confused me because it always felt to me that they have a small selection of chocolates that you can try but what if you only want 1 particular type of chocolate, where can you get more of that one chocolate?
I think I have had some form of Tinnitus since I was younger (it didn't happen often but once every few years this thing would happen where everything would get quite all of a sudden and I would hear this ringing sound. I didn't think much of it. Now I do have some very minor hearing loss in my right ear (the only time I notice this is when making phone calls and I have to use my left ear to listen to calls.
But I have had this bad (re occuring ear infection that I did not take care of for over a year or something like that), the doctor told me that it was swimmers ear or something like that. So I no longer have an infection but I do have sensitivity to loud noises (sort of)
I still plan to use stuff like headphones but this time around I ended up getting the kind that dampen outside noise and listen to music at a lower volume.
I still need to see a ear doctor since it seems that I have white stuff in my eardrums.

So, I gifted a friend (in my same region) a Steam key and they say they activated it but I can still see the game in their wishlist and when I try to redeem the key (which is a game I own) it obviously says that I own the game but when it tries to install it, it goes "installation failed, connection time out". What could be wrong? I got the key from a legit website (DLGamer).
No? I got cards from my purchase the other day. it was only the one card since i spent some $10ish dollars.
Some preorders are not eligible for cards tho like sf5 ce dlc
External key redemption is pretty grumpy atm. Some take ages to show up in your library for reasons and the only way to play them is to start them from their respective store pages.
