What surprises me from the chart is that there are bunch of people talking that they prefer GOG because of DRM free copy, and here we see that most people rather buy from Steam because of easy access to their already big library. Even stadia has more users than GOG...

Big brain mode: Working AND Playing games at the same time.
 
And Rockstar being Rockstar again


I don't even think that we will get any of those improvement on PC.

Would be great if Rockstar actually joined everybody else in the the 21st century and simultaneously released GTA6 on PC/Consoles.

But nah no chance it happens. Expect 18-24 month delay. And probably additional delays after that for Steam release because of their garbage launcher.
 
All the Dying Light 2 talk has me wanting to go back to the first game. Never completed it, and CDkeys has the Platinum Edition for cheap.

Might grab it to play this weekend. Looks like there’s a lot of sweet DLC for it.

I think we would need to see numbers for a larger cross section of games than just one, but I say that as one of those 'prefer it on gog' people you mentioned.
 
EGS doing better than GoG is really sad. 😔

I've done my part! I have 0 on EGS and haven't logged into my account since it was created.

I have close to 350 games on GOG and buy from them regularly. I have some AAA games there even if there's a release on Steam and i have doubled up and bought DRM free on GOG when i have things on Steam.
 
Dying Light 2 is over 235,000 concurrent players. I thought it would reach this number around Sunday. Now I'm thinking it might get over 300,000.

When Google announced last year that it was shutting down its internal gaming studios, it was seen as a blow to the company's big bet on video games. Google, whose Stadia cloud service was barely more than a year old, said it would instead focus on publishing games from existing developers on the platform and explore other ways to bring Stadia's technology to partners.

Since then, the company has shifted the focus of its Stadia division largely to securing white-label deals with partners that include Peloton, Capcom, and Bungie, according to people familiar with the plans.

Google is trying to salvage the underlying technology, which is capable of broadcasting high-definition games over the cloud with low latency, shopping the technology to partners under a new name: Google Stream. (Stadia was known in development as "Project Stream.")

A bundle I can get behind personally. Fuckkkkkkkkk Cancer. :fingergunsblob:
Great bundle.

And fuck cancer indeed.
 
Parkour in Dying Light 2 is very good.
Combat (so far) is meh.
Story/dialog is terrible (and I have I very high tolerance for that)

Overall I'm actually having fun, but I have to reduce my "score" by at least 5 points because the game made me install the crappy Logitech software so I could "rebind" the right mouse button (it appears that binding mouse buttons in general is broken).

Worse than Dying Light 1? Thought the start of that was almost unbearable with how badly written and designed it was.
Well, I'm only 5 hours in, and while I remember very little about the story of the first game, I can say the it's bothering me more here. Probably because I think it takes itself more seriously and there have been several long and pointless dialog sequences.

Maybe it gets less intrusive later. After all it took me about 1.5 hours of these 5 to get to the open word proper.

But I should also say, I think you can skip everything dialog/cutscene related very fast with the space bar.

Do it. I'm holding off buying DL2 till there is a patch or two and the price is right but in the meantime i've gone back to DL1. I completed the main game a couple of times but never had a go at the DLC 'The Following' which is a new map and the main draw is you get a dune buggy to drive around in. Im enjoying it, same sort of stuff as the main game, it looks great and chopping up zombies is always fun.

Also its so great to go back to old games you played with beefier hardware. Im now playing it maxed out and it really is a pretty good looking/running game.
