Community MetaSteam | January 2021 - It's Rare to See a Medium So Well-Done

So wait, these are like early Sakura Wars games then?

Kind of. The SRPG mechanics are slightly different. In addition to the strategy layer, there's a bit of action involved during battles where performing combos will allow you to perform critical hits (Think of something like timing the button presses in Shadow Hearts series). Furthermore, there are no simulation/LIPS-system-like during the VN segments in Uta.

Yakuzas have arrived... on Microsoft Store

Pages are up but nothing else, not even the pack, so I think it's due to GP internal settings.

Regarding the app which looks for games with similar banners, I have added a small search engine with 5k possible query apps.
It is less exhaustive than what I had before (30k query apps), but it is more convenient (there is no need to look for appIDs in another browser tab).

I am really interested to play Journey to the Savage Planet, but don't want to give 505 my money with what they have done with Control's console launch as well as taking epic money at the first place.

Going to wait for key stores to start stocking up steam keys.

So Tencent buying Klei means nothing for fans.



Yeah, Im personally very skeptical to anything with Tencent, their connection to the Chinese commie party and how the they to get they tentacles around every western dev.

But I have yet to see any signs of them controlling any western dev they have bought or invested in. So far they seem very hands-off.

Tencent doesn't need to change anything artistically or how the company is run. They want the western audience, they want the western personal data, and anything else that is more malicious but has nothing to do with how the company is perceived from an outside perspective.
From all the western companies tencent owns, no-one has yet made a communist-propaganda game. And the game companies under Tencent don't behave differently with their political or humanitarian response to things happening in China. Either being silent or making a non-statement, like 99% of the western companies NOT owned by china.

About this part : China have nothing to do with communism, so that's why.

Titanfall 2 works in proton now! Holy shit. I played it back when on Origin. Bought it day one on steam expecting it wouldn't work because origin. And now it does.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Mask of Truth seems to be delisted on PSN. They should be fine on Steam right? Different publishers and all?

Haven't gotten the chance to grab them yet.

Yeah they’re fine. Seems like Atlus’ license ran out. But they weren’t involved with the PC version.

I'm currently playing through this on XSX in case anyone has questions

Hey Underwater Ray Romano fans, why is the new one $20 more expensive? And what's with all this DLC for it?

My budget was already strained this month back when I was assuming it would be $40 base like the last two.

Okay, who killed steam?

So Tony Hawk will be a full EGSxclusive now?

Vicarious Visions merged into Blizzard

Activision Blizzard has moved its Vicarious Visions studio from the Activision side of the business to the Blizzard sid…

www.gamesindustry.biz

I got a review code for the EGS version, so it's not all doomed for me if that's the thing. I'd prefer to have it on Steam though.

I see Kotick hasn't learned from the first time he trimmed down all his releases to nothing but Call of Duty and Blizzard a decade ago. Hopefully this will lead to better Blizzard output, or VV team leaving and formin a new studio

 

[toxicitizen]

You know, normally I'd take the rumor of trouble with REmake 4 and Capcom taking over/pushing for more changes as terrible news. But after REmake 2 half-assing the A/B scenario gimmick and REmake 3 being what it was, it's pretty clear that Capcom has no interest in delivering faithful remakes that fulfill and exceed the original game's vision. And since I honestly don't want REmake 4 in the first place and think it's a terrible idea to even do one, I find myself much less resistant to change.

So I'm in this weird position where I'm actually wanting them to go crazy. Like, yeah, fucking gimme your worst, Capcom. Let me see how badly you can truly fuck this one up. Blow my fucking mind.

About this part : China have nothing to do with communism, so that's why.

it was an example of what people think about the bad guy Chinese company.

Fact of the matter is: Klei is more secure under Tencent then it would have been under Electronic Arts, Zenimax, or even Microsoft (MS still has to prove that they invest in the future with their acquired studios, they have a graveyard of closed and gutted studios as big as EA)

And customer exploitation and ruining franchises wise, there are worse, much worse examples than Tencent, but because they are western publishers people are not as "concerned" as with Tencent.

Played a little bit of Jedi Fallen Order. Teetering on solid 60 at 1440p but drops just often enough that I would need to drop some settings to get rid of those. Dropping shadows would seemingly get me there but then they draw in too close to the view.

I think I'm going to have to delay and play the game later, in about 5 years when new GPUs are in stock once more.

Think it"s time to get a VBR screen! Still think that is one of the best things to happen to gaming.

I need a proper list of skin mods to choose from from in order to replace boringo mcboringson's model with.

I remember people talking about Ender Lilies yesterday, just got it recommended by a Steam curator I follow.

Didn't know the music is by Mili
Trailer definitely looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Will keep an eye on it.

Been rather interested by this one as well! It popped up in my youtube feed and I have to say, it's a nice change from the usual hero tropes, and looks rather pretty.

Hey Underwater Ray Romano fans, why is the new one $20 more expensive? And what's with all this DLC for it?

My budget was already strained this month back when I was assuming it would be $40 base like the last two.

My understanding is that they went and did another editing pass to fix all the reported typos and alter some localisation choices from NISA's PS4 release. Combined with the fact that Prelude is actually the latest game in the series even though it's a remaster of the first-ever game in the series, well, you'll have to decide for yourself whether the game is worth the asking price.

As for the DLCs, it's basically characters/units DLC which you can deploy during battle scenarios. Simply put, it's fan service materials, and totally optional, even if it's not strictly lore-friendly.

 

[eonden]

Game is a looker too:

So my main complain about Satisfactory is that it takes way too long to start being able to automate and that the grind walls are jsut way too high and do not really support what you want to be building towards, compared to Factorio, where the progression is much smoother. The first hours of Dyson Sphere is much faster to automate, and the "grind walls" are much smaller and actually support what you are building towards, which is mainly research cubes. I havent left the planet yet, so I cannot talk about interplanetary lines, but the "world" itself are also quite nicely size (you can see the map on the bottom left with the colors being where i built).

They even tweeted about it as well




By the way I need to find it but I saw this one post by a Japanese indie dev about how it can be a burden when your game doesn't sell.

They only sold like 10 copies for the first week and that kept them up at night.

The dlc are useless, you don't need more characters.
By the end of every game you have such a big cast you won't even have enough battle slots to deploy them all in a fight barring the final fights which usually have just enough slot for all the story characters, additional dlc characters from MoD/MoT just makes your roster needlessly larger.

Kvik already answered the price thing.

 

[Parsnip]

Is Dyson Sphere purely a building and management game, are there enemies, wild life or stuff like that?

 

[PC-tan]

 

[Le Pertti]

Ah yes precisely, VRR! A nice screen is way cheaper than a GPU!
