I want Stoneshard and Saints & Sinners so badly, but I can't buy them until Ive finished up a big bunch of other games.

And then comes march with Doom, Alyx, Ori and Animal Crossing.

I realize even if Satisfactory comes on Steam in march, I will most likely not have time to play it and I really do wanna play it.
I mean stoneshard is slated to be in early access for 1.5 - 2 years with the price increasing gradually the more features going into it

The Royal Marines Commando has to be among the shortest FPS I've ever played. I wonder how much CI Interactive charged for the retail edition in eastern europe.

and


on sale. Both look good. I seem to remember Aaron D. saying some good things about them.
Yup yup.

Overcrowd was my GOTY and Autonauts #10.


Can’t say enough good things about them.

I wouldn't classify Gods and Monsters as cookie cutter AT ALL. Its literally AC x Botw x Nier Automata X God of War X ReCore in the first "open puzzle world", the game is finished. It just needs a lot, A LOT of polish
Yeah that wasn't one I was thinking of as cookie cutter, don't worry 😛👍
I was thinking Watch Dogs and the inevitable Assassin's Creed title

Hmm, my quasi complete old PC doesn’t seem to interest people on the French Craiglist.
Tempted to say fuck it all, add a monitor and gpu and make it a secondary PC. I’m certain my mom would love to play Stardew-like games in multiplayer.

What I learned from selling all my stuff, is that you have to take a huge loss. Like when I sold my PC I took more than half off and it wasn't even a year old.

If I subscribe to Origin Premier, I have access to the myriad DLC for Dragon Age and co ?

No Tomb Raider games playable in Geforce Now? :(
Maybe a dumb streaming service exclusivity to Stadia.

Mmh, Amazon told me I can have a 10€ coupon, and I'm eligible to try prime again.

I see. So, it's true. When they have some down time, EA suits fuse together and become UltraMotherfucker. I didn't want to see, but it was always there.
To be fair, Gamepass doesn't offer DLC either and both services are still an incredible value without them. I think it's better this way too. In a subscription dominated future, there still need to be incentives to purchase full games or it will quickly become a race to the bottom quality-wise.

I guess you are totally right. But this is Dragon Age 2 DLC we are talking about, it's complicated :thinking-blob:

I am likely misunderstanding this, but if Geforce Now operates as a virtual machine in the cloud through which you then you log into your gaming accounts (e.g. Steam), then why are only certain titles supported?

Because they are the games that are already installed on the servers and they probably need to talk with developers to be allowed to offer them.

We need a wallpaper thread. We also need a cooking thread. Maybe in 2020 I can adopt my ultimate form and become a... content creator ?

You poor souls never deserved that, though :fearful-face:

More like publishers, I presume.
I wonder how Steam could get away with Remote Play Together. Looks like the type of initiative that would get a publisher to have an aneurysm.
Maybe because it's a free service.

You were able to run any game by quitting a launched game, and starting something else during early beta.
Some people say that this still works for EA games, if you quit out of Apex.
As texhnolyze said. It's probably a publisher thing. GTA 5 was for example available, but is no longer. RDR2 is on Stadia though.

Because:
-Devs can opt out of it if they so want.
-It started targeting a small section of games that have local coop but not online coop (thus adding a new free service to devs).
-Most of the affected games with the addition are indie developers which dont have that much power.

In general the more surprising thing is that not that many devs prohibit "Family Sharing".

The screenshots make it look bad, but this is a surprisingly fun FPS game for only 49 cents:

Includes singleplayer and online co-op

I'm eligible to try prime again
I have always been eligible to try Prime for free and I have never seen the appeal. You need to have lots of money to spend on Amazon to find an interest in getting faster shipping. Plus, if I had a lot of disposable money, I would boycott Amazon as much as I can anyway.

Oh, I buy something from them once every blue moon and use the offer for free 1-day shipping.
I am clearly not interested in subscribing to this.

Wonder if this will release on normal Steam. There was some talk about Valve working with a Chinese publisher and launching a China specific version of Steam, perhaps even cut-off from the rest of the world.

bad ews for the Gollum game i guesss

also kinda explains this

tey fucked up pretty hard with this one
That's a shame, outside of the technical issues what we played of it was decent.

And it's not like many people make co-op RTS games.

Man FTL is sooooo hard. I have never managed to beat the last stage. I dont think i ever will.
I thought the same for years, that last encounter seemed so unfair. Then I finally decided to play on easy and man I was finally able to beat it, so give it a try you can do it! :blobcheer:

Although I played it on easy the feeling when you finally beat is soooo good :D

Besides, it's more restricted than Family Sharing, and I'd say most devs are OK with that. With Remote Play Together people can only play if the owner is hosting the session, so it's not like they can play whenever they want.
