I didn't realize Vainglory had made its way to PC:
It sounds like it doesn't have many "PC" features, but I can't imagine playing against a desktop user as a mobile player is going to be remotely fun.

I went on their site and it says they're running a free open alpha for PC (both from the website and on Steam).
Also, has cross-play with iOS/Android. Not sure about cross progression though.

So, Far Cry: New Dawn.
Anyone enjoying it?
I played a couple of hours, and all I kept thinking was about playing Hitman 2 instead.
I really enjoyed Far Cry 5, the awesome soundtrack, the rural look, the appalling villains and likeable townsfolk and animal companions, and some fun shooting gameplay.
That's why, despite not being particularly sold on the game, I actually ended up buying New Dawn to see the continuation and closure of Far Cry 5's story and characters.
Well, so far the only thing that genuinely impressed me was how great the game looks. With the HD texture pack, it has some really impressive visuals.
But, outside of that, it appears they took out some of the exploration elements of Far Cry 5, took away most of the fun in the gameplay, and added a lot of grinding and resource gathering.
I may change my opinion once the story picks up, but so far, I'm really not feeling the game at all.

I missed it until now, but I can't believe the letter The Verge wrote this afternoon about their dumbass copyright strikes.
Once again, the mainstream gaming press needs to just far stay away from PC gaming, for the betterment of everyone. Absolute insanity.

How nice of Hamble to give me an extra 5% off on a few titles :V
So there's a recent update to the client that'll include an extra API. Hoping it's that other store integration, so that it recognizes what GOG games I own and lets me use steam client stuff with it (controller support, actiity feed etc)

I saw it a few days ago. I'm just glad that it was released on PC, so I can uninstall it on my phone and tablet. It takes up a lot of space.
OP
Don't really know why I bought this as the original is fine, but 75% off.
there's +50% for those who own original.Wait, wut???
Thanks, that explains it. Suppose they have to do something to try and unite the online playerbase.

Yeah makes sense, seeing as steam it pretty much only a support forum for EGS games now.XD

I placed my first order from them last week, and now they are closing.
I spell doom for every online store I use.
Maybe I should buy something from the EGS.

Just saw that you can link EGS to Steam to "find your friends", not sure why I found it funny.XD

Yesterday was my 6 year Steam anniversary and I didn't even notice. How shameful. orz
In 6 years I accrued: 645 Games, and 873 DLC. 165 badge levels.
Seems pretty decent considering I don't do bundles or 3rd-party websites. Though 6 years is probably small potatoes to most people here. ( don't bulli )
In 6 years I went through 3 desktops, from humble beginnings to an absolute power hungry beast.
Started: Athlon II x4 640 and a Radeon HD 4850 + 4 GB RAM
My first total build: i5-4690 and a GTX 970 + 8 GB RAM
Currently: i7-8700k and a GTX 1080ti + 32GB RAM
There were some rough patches in the middle where I spent more time on PS4 Pro, but honestly I think that was mostly my 970 letting me down in the 4K department. Ever since I built my new PC I haven't even turned on my Pro lol. Whoops.

i'll still be here with my shitty 750Ti ... unless that one dies too ... then i'll be left with nothing
Yeah, I mean it's good and all, but I just thought EGS was so much anti steam and them poaching games wasn't enough that it came of as poaching friend lists too.XD
Found an old screenshot of my Steam Library in 2014.... man those were rookie numbers compared to what I have now
Doesn't look too epic, in fact lazier than pirated cds of the 90s.
LMAO

Don't worry, they won't discount the game on Steam even if they release it eventually.
Finally got the chance to play some EDF in co-op (and it was local split-screen to boot) and my god was that awesome.
We started at mission 16 and ended at 33, lol.
Co-op meant that I also could give the Air Raider a fair shake, and try out the different vehicles. It really showed that this is not a class you want to play solo, but boy is it fun.
Using the Depth Crawler in tunnel missions is sublime. The Flamethrower mech (that's from one of the DLCs) is great against regular insect hordes as well - though slow as hell.

BernardoOne : I don't post in the PC era thread anymore, so I'll tell you here: you should remove the phishing site link you quoted in your last message...
There have been many accounts hacked lately. (1 account is hacked then they use the friend list to send messages to everybody like "click here for free game" and unaware people click on a phishing site link).

I couldn't get local coop to work. KBM and Xbox controller tried. Then tried a Xbox and a ds4 controller.
How?
We've used KBM and a Steam Controller.
On the title screen, press something on the Keyboard so that it gets recognized as Player 1. Then, when going to the missions and selectin split screen co-op, press Start on the controller to get it recognized as Player 2.
That order is apparently important, because we didn't actually manage to do it the other way around, because we didn't find the Start button equivalent on the Keyboard and couldn't get it recognized as a Player 2.
Ubisoft moving Siege lore along. Holy heck! Six got replaced!...
(Video is also full of Ubi Easter eggs.)
Seems like the change probably has something to do with Angela Bassett getting busy/expensive after Mission Impossible and Black Panther.

Other than that, stuff like this makes me wish we could get more story content. Even just in some PVE events. They’ve got such a great, diverse cast, it’s a real waste to let them languish with no extra story.
OP
A lot of words to say very little while at the same time spit on the Steam userbase who didn't buy their games, and Steam itself for not marketing them (why everyone thinks Steam should market their game, when did Steam become a publisher of everyone's games).
If it works out for them, good. I wasn't interested in their games before so it means very little to me that their next game, and maybe future games, won't come out on Steam. I truly wish them good luck with their business decision. I just hope, in case it ends up not working out for them, they have the dignity to not walk back to the store where the fanbase doesn't make it worth their while to publish games because it's too crowded and it doesn't run marketing promotion for their games.

At what point does "Steam is overcrowded" simply become "We didn't do enough to make our game stand out?"
I don't wanna be a jerk here, but plenty of indie games do stand out and go on to sell millions on Steam just fine. (Undertale? Stardew Valley? Hollow Knight?)
Maybe your game just wasn't good enough to stand out from the crowd? It just seems weird to me that devs put things on the Store and go "huh, why isn't anyone showing up?" People need to WANT YOUR THING, that's why.
