This is so awesome.

I think I'm eligible, but I won a couple of games recently from giveaways and I haven't finished them yet. Better leave this to people with more time in their hands, I wouldn't want to hoard :p

Thanks tho. GL to all the meta participants

I believe Hades is a rogue-like ? Does it have elements of persistence ?
Can you "finish" the story ?

New Hades update, midweek deal, front page love. That 30% has its benefits.
I frankly find it disgusting that so many indie titles struggle to gain visibility, and will never feature on the front page, while a game from a developer who treated the users of the store as second-rate customers, has received not once, but twice front page promotion of some sort, in the space of a month.

It really pays off to pull shitty practices.

Supergiant are far more known than your average indie dev, but even then steam DOES highlight them when that indie dev's games are on sale or a particular game is on sale.
I know this because I check the steam store every Tues and Fri.

San Diego-based Darkpaw Games will focus on Daybreak's flagship property, EverQuest. Led by Holly Longdale, the studio will continue to support EverQuest games while developing the "next innovation for the franchise."
It looks like a new Everquest is in development.

I really don't get it.

I have Hades as an ignored game. When it launched on Steam, I had a big banner promoting the game on my front page for days.
I have Annapurna Interactive as an ignored publisher. Their titles are supposed to be excluded. Yet, I just opened my front page, and the first game that appears on the "Featured & Recommended" section is... Sayonara Wild Hearts. o_O

Looks like Temtem is going to do well in terms of sales... There is a queue of 14,000+ people(and rising) waiting to get in!

The ignore function is primarily for searches that YOU make, and does not apply to store-wide events or what data it accumulated from friends or steam users in general.

Some of Falcom's best games don't even have "Trails" or "Ys" in the title.

The "holy trinity" of "Falcom games that even Falcom fans still need to play" are Xanadu Next, Brandish: The Dark Revenant, and Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection.

I beat Dark Fact in Nightmare and it's some crazy shit. The interesting thing is that the boss looks like completely random bullshit at first glance, but is actually anything but random. After practicing some on Nightmare I went back to Normal and could beat him consistently without breaking a sweat.
I only played on Normal, so I can't speak for the higher difficulties, but I didn't find him as complicated as the internet would have me believe. I had WAY more trouble with the bat boss, and some others I can't recall right now. That bat boss was the real deal, he should have been the final boss of the entire franchise. Plus, I felt incredibly smart after I realized the trick to the fight (equipping silver gear).

Valve said:
Half-Life: Alyx is coming in March, and we are celebrating early by making all games in the Half-Life Series FREE to play for Steam users, from now until the day it launches!
Opposing Force and Blue Shift are included even though they're not shown in that post, search for them in the store or whatever and they have the Play Game button available. I dunno how the setup of these oldies is handled, if you still need to install Blue Shift for the fancied up models etc. in HL and Op Force too.

Edit: they added them at the bottom since :p

Does anybody else here use Nvidia Freestyle (or Gamefilter as it's called in the overlay) from time to time?
It used to work for me, used it in Gears 5, but I can't get it to work in Metro Exodus or Resident Evil 2, despite those games support Freestyle according to Nvidia. Is this a recent driver update that botched it? Was just super nice having those Reshade filter without even needing to install Reshade, and for Gamepass games, that's literally the only way to get that functionality.

DS3 felt like "hey remember Dark Souls?" and didn't really have many unique ideas. Hell, it even copies shit almost directly from Demon's Souls, with Irythyll Dungeon basically being "Tower of Latria, but worse"

Some of the filters stopped working for me a couple weeks ago so i stopped using it and just went back to reshade everything without even trying freestyle first.

Not to mention asset recycling from Bloodborne and an engine that struggles to load zones without stuttering. Where DS1 had the charm of a world well though-out, DS3 has... nothing, in my opinion. Even the tedious combat somehow gets worse with animations that use double-timings on attack windups. In my opinion, From was milking the cow there.

I'm grumpy though, don't get too mad at me because I don't like souls games.

There's some truth here. The nostalgia strings were targeted quite heavily. Thankfully, apart from a couple of overboard examples, it stayed classy, however.

Valve is still standing on a march release for Alyx. Maybe it doesn't get delayed after all.
