I don't have any advice for you but i feel your pain. I'm the IT guy at work, there's only 6 of us and i 'know computers' so it falls to me to sort out any issues and it can sometimes be a right pain.
Seems like same to me. I work as a software developer, but I get all the IT related questions, despite not I am not an IT expert
Not the Full Body one, which was Sony exclusive so farBut Catherine already ported to PC
I signed up for Chrono when they had Attack of the Earthlings in their coin shop. Once I had enough coins collected, Attack of the Earthlings was sold out. I have been waiting ever since for a game in the coin shop that interests me
Same here, I downloaded it but haven't started it yet.
I played Last Day of June the other day. It was nice, although a little too slow and repetitive. It doesn't let you skip cutscenes, which sucks because it forces you to rewatch the same ones several times. The soundtrack is great and was composed by Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree, but they aren't original songs. Rather, they are instrumental versions of some parts of his solo songs, such as "Insurgentes", "Routine" and "The raven that refused to sing". The game is short (3 to 4 hours), so it can be worth a try if you don't have anything better to do.
First step, give this a shot - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027322/windows-update-troubleshooter and see what happens.

no, it doesn't!

it's not minenot even remotely close
HOW DARE YOU?!
A bit late but let's test this tag color thingy.
Where did this explosion in popularity come from? Just word of mouth? Absolutely insane.Speaking of Wolcen... OH MY GOD!
Already had £7.25 in STEAM credit so with the 40% discount it was a no brainer.
Pretty much. They sponsored some key streamers and the rest of the ARPG community decided to give it a go.
It's beyond insane.
If people are giving it poor reviews because of the server issues, then that's really shitty. I don't think anyone expected it to be even close to this popular.Speaking of Wolcen... OH MY GOD!

Yeah, but it gets more expensive as you level up.
You get some respec points from the story, I think around 15-20. There is also a currency called Orb of Regret that can be used to respect passive points one at a time.
If you are a first time player, I recommend giving this playlist a go, Just to get familiar with the broad strokes, and this way you can minimize the need for heavy respeccing.
Are you sure? Better to be safe than sorry.
WOW, that's impressive af. The thirst for D4 is real and only shows how disconnected Blizzard is from the market nowadays with their Mobile Game.
(The mobile game will make them money though, do not get me wrong).
Sorry to read that there are serious problems with the game though and not just server issues because of the unexpected popularity.

What have you tried so far? The Media Creation Tool would be one option, or using an ISO. Google has a lot more suggestions, stuck upgrades were a big issue around that time.

I enjoyed Metro Exodus a lot, the first DLC was also good imo.
But the second DLC doesn't click with me and I'm not sure why, because the protagonist is okay, it started interesting, the story is also okayish but I'm constantly bored while playing.
What? It is great!

Well ahead of you there - I played both Demon's Souls and Asura's Wrath on RPCS3. The emulator has come a long way!
I remember testing DeS on RPCS3 about 3 years ago, and it was playable but still crashed from time to time and frame-rate wasn't stable at all.
How good is it now?
Thanks madjoki for sharing this, I want to make some comments to this results because, I think it's one of the best weeks I have ever seen (at least in terms of personal preferences) so here we go:
First I need to point how varied this list is, we have from pure online experiences such as PUBG to pure anime with Azur Lane, this is a great example of how varied Steam is in terms of customers, a list that contains an ARPG, and adventure-story driven game, a Battle Royale and mixed experiences between online and single player, needs to be praised because it's amazing how big the PC gaming scene and how big Steam has become.
Second point, as a big fan of Mechas seeing Daemon x Machina at fourth position on that list makes me REALLY REALLY HAPPY, game deserved a lot of love and I think PC Gamers so far are loving it, glad it delivered and customers reacted positively to this release.
Next, Metro Exodus, just imagine how big it has been to be at fifth and sixth positions in just 2 days, beating his own all-time ccu number by a margin of 4k players, although I will understand that you don't like this point because it means it worked for them, data is data and it's impressive nonetheless (at least for me) so yeah, really impressed (but nor surprised) to see it there and doing better than expected, I will keep an eye on this one's numbers cause' it will be a very interesting one, don't you think, LittleDinamit?
Now, I have talked about variety, about Daemon and about Metro, what's next? OH YEAH, the big one, the one that EXPLODED (and almost literally?) Wolcen is the best example of how community can turn something almost unknown for the most part of the users into something really big an popular, servers went down out of capacity, ccu peak was 124k users and it turns out it's a great game for what people is saying about it, I mean, WOAH!
And I think that's it, Monster Hunter keeps destroying the charts, PUBG, GTAV as always are there and RDR2 which seems to be affected by the lack of a 20% sale as it has been happening since release, maybe one of the reasons why the game is just at tenth position, but still really strong.
What a week.

Top o' the mornin'
I've attempted to buy a copy of Resident Evil 3 on your store and was prompted with the message "Charge could not succeed/payment failed" at the end of the procedure.
Thus, i tried again, and was prompted with the same error once more.
Then i went on to have a check of my emails and have been billed twice for it, or rather, bought two copies.
I would like to request a refund of ONE of these two copies

I hope you are capable and willing to help me return these capitalist value papers back unto me.
I wish you a pleasant start into the week!

Let's see if Gamebillet is gonna give me a refund for this error of theirs.
I had this exact experience happen to me with Sony's own PSN store once, and that fuckass, trashass company refused.

I GOT A RESPONSE REFUND A MINUTE?????????
ON A SUNDAY NIGHT???????????????????????????????????????
WTF???????????????????
Tryna figure out where the support employees must be located

Finished my Shiren playthrough, and now I'm counting down the days for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX. Didn't think my most hyped release of Q1 2020 would be a Mystery Dungeon remake.
Edit: I guess Q4 2019?

How the hell is Wolcen selling so well? I don't understand, and that's not meant as a dig on the game. It's clearly good but I didn't think it'd be top-of-the-chart-above-Iceborn good.
Its popularity just leaves me scratching my head. It came out of nowhere, and while it does cater to myCryEngine Lumberyard love, I don't really get why people like it so much.

It's a mix of timing, good word of mouth and a dedicated community that has been waiting for the next step in the genre for half a decade now. Path of Exile puts around those numbers (I can't imagine what kind of numbers PoE2 is gonna do, but it's gonna be big. Although it helps it will be F2P), but more than that, the player base is about done with the current PoE league and they are waiting on details on the new one.
There is really no competition in this specific form of the genre. It's PoE and then it's everyone else. Diablo 3, for a game that sold 30 million copies+, did absolutely nothing worthwhile to keep people engaged. It's the worst supported gaas-always-online-game by a big studio ever. I can't imagine more than a few thousands still play D3 anymore at the start of each new season. It was a different time back then, and it happened under a different set of circumstances, but lets remember PoE was also a game made by a small New Zealand indie studio that grew popular almost entirely on the back of good word of mouth and a few popular Diablo streamers picking it up and declaring it the true D2 successor.
Now, how long will it last? It all depends on how well supported it is and how quickly the devs can keep it going with QoL updates, stability and content. And even that might not do it. For now, it's just one of those flavor of the month games that landed at the right time. Games like Atlas get a big streamer push and then settle down and forgotten, Underlords did like 200k peak in its first week and now averages around 10k once the novelty wore off.

A new ARPG (maybe people are thirsty for this kind of games?), great regional price, good word of mouth...Once in a while we get surprise hits on Steam so yeah. Meanwhile the game doesnt get any acknowledge by the media

yeah, i imagine this one helps A LOT
Meanwhile the game doesnt get any acknowledge by the media
because it's a PC-only game ... so it doesn't exist
