I clicked on the link to see how intimidating it was, and I legit thought it sent me to the Stellaris page because of the screenshots at first. Super weird.You know what Steam page is up? Distant Worlds 2.
All kidding aside, there's a nice trailer there that I didn't see on the Slitherine youtube.
I bought it and I've got about 13 hours in and enjoying it so far. I haven't played Factorio (I know) or Satisfactory so I can't compare it but I'm having fun making terrible mazes of height-changing conveyors to move stuff around and make glowy cubes.

So the bundle's base price is the same as buying all games separately? Or is that 33% discount representing the amount you save buy buying it instead of the 3 separate games?
Bundle is basically buying 3 games for the price of 2.
Waiting for the bundle to appear on Humble
...It should, right? Or will this be different because it's also on the Microsoft store or something.

There is a themed sale going on

Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.
one of a number of timed Apple Arcade exclusives I've been waiting on a PC port of (others include Shinsekai, World 'sEnd Club, Spyder, The Collage Atlas, and Little Orpheus), glad it's finally coming.
The original game was highly derivative, but I still enjoyed it, at least up until I reached a particularly infuriating puzzle that requires almost superhumanly precise timing to complete. hopefully the sequel doesn't have any difficulty spikes like that

:thinking:
Any chance that the bundle will appear in fanatical/Humble/third pary sites ?
I'm in no rush I'm still trying to finish Tales of Berseria (which should take me at least a few more days)

So, when is Yakuza 6 being released on Steam?Im so glad Yakuza is finally here.
Not that I wanna play it, but you guys asked about the store page every day
There's a mod that changes so wildlife only attack if they are diseased. Will make all the suicidal rats and cliff racers more bearable.
Also, get a mod that restores your magicka over time.
The mod that makes signposts readable as well perhaps.
I also had fun with the first game, but as you put it was highly derivative.
Started playing Kiwami 2, but it doesn't look or run that good on the Series S, but still enjoying it!
Even when the game splits into two worlds? My PFS got cut in half when the game splitted for me.

Tried a bit of the Balan Wonderworld demo, my first impressions are not good.
Too simplistic (only 1 action, jumping, that's it, and the costumes change the way jumping works) and filled with pace breakers in an already slow paced platformer (switching costumes takes 3~ seconds, a cutscene plays every time when getting certain collectibles, a cutscene plays when reaching certain parts of the stage).

Just wanted to share this video, a review of 2020 as if it was a video game (with a lot of nudges towards Cyberpunk 2077) by a game journalist.
I know it's in French, but with Youtube auto-translate it's almost understandable in English and it's a good reason to learn French

Hahaha still on my first one. At the very end of the story but I'm doing, well, everything before doing the final quest.I just looked at your profile and was thinking "wow, 128 hours of Cyberpunk" ...then checked mine...also exactly 128 hours of Cyberpunk.
(but I did play through the story already, and I'm pretty far in my second playthrough)
Speaking of, earlier I was thinking of writing a post joking about how shit the "buy all vehicles" achievement is because it just led to me spending my final hours in the game going to a vehicle purchase marker, buying it and then using it to drive to the next one, repeat until done.
But then I ran out of money even though I had over a million from doing all the NCPD scanner quests. So I crafted all I could to sell and still didn't have enough. So I sold basically everything I owned that wasn't my currently equipped gear and still came up short. So now I'm literally just running around looking for people to mug and then it hit me: the achievement is actually genius. This is the authentic Night City experience right there.
Oh and I won't be able to get the achievement for crafting 3 legendaries on this playthrough because, even though I saved attribute points, I started too late and hit the max level before I had enough to get my crafting skill high enough.
Also, might end up getting the Yakuza bundle after all. Humble choice discount brings it down to like 48$, which is pretty reasonable for all 3 games.
No more Life is Strange games by DONTNOD.
sometime in March iircSo, when is Yakuza 6 being released on Steam?
It really sucks that DONTNOD doesn't get to continue the series they are most known for.
I am happy that LiS will be continued in some form though. More games like LiS and Tell Me Why is a good thing.

I can also add that some of the devs are going to such an extent as testing unannounced games on Steam by adding them as hidden DLC for their already released old games, sometimes not even from the same franchise. That was before Valve added tokens stuff for packages, and with names likes "Blue Test Content DLC" looking for something specific was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and it's nearly impossible to do that now.
Played the Balan Wonderland demo.
It feels... off? I can forgive being dumped into levels with no explanation, lacking tutorials (as if it needed one), even the long-ass costume change, all of that can be fixed easily.
But beside the gorgeous pre rendered cinematics, the game is damn ugly, with a pretty bad case of mismatched store bought assets syndrome. It lacks a visual identity beside the main characters (and to their credit, you can choose your char from a few different presets and it's even reflected in cinematics, a rarity), and what I would call the Mario Galaxy design: random bits of crap thrown together to make a linear level that end up being a bit of a what the fuck. Why in the first level - which is farms and fields - do you start by meeting dancing werewolves? Who knows!
The world also just... unfurl in front of you, as if you were in a hamster ball, it's just super weird and confusing when you look up, I find it hard to locate myself despite the levels being very small and very linear with some side activities.
Speaking of, it's action platforming 101 with new abilities unlocked by costume power ups that disappear when you're hit (I could see that becoming annoying in some sections), but it's also the very beginning, so we'll see... it starts really bland though, and they fucked something up with the movement speed, your char looks like it's running faster than it is. It's quite slow (ironic considering it's Yuji Naka at the reigns).
What I don't like are the optional QTE cut scenes for extra crystals (I think it's like the food from the Chaos garden in Sonic Adventure 2? I fed some to little blobs, so I assume so, a little line of tutorial could have helped here).
It's a game... just... it feels like a Kickstarter prototype rather than a near complete product with ridiculously big budget cinematics.
Some elements can be fixed without too much trouble, but it's very oddly designed and maybe not that fun to play.
