Steam News - New DLC Discovery Hub with Steam Labs Experiment 15 - Steam News
A new personalized hub to explore available content for the games you play
That's Gotham Knights finished. i am really sad that this game ended up being big disappointment. i still think that if game had bit better direction they could have done much better job with it. It had some potential. But in the end it is what it is. Also whoever designed that last mission should deserves some kind of punishment, that was so bad.

New DLC Discovery Hub with Steam Labs Experiment 15
A new personalized hub to explore available content for the games you play
Today's new Steam Labs experiment is a store hub designed to help you find new content to enjoy in the games you already play.
You may have missed or forgotten about exciting add-on content for your favorite games, and this hub is designed to help you explore what is available and find ways of getting more of those great games. Whether it is individual character skins, content packs, new game modes, or huge expansion packs, there is probably something of interest to you.
Check out your personalized DLC hub here: https://store.steampowered.com/dlcforyou
This entire page is personalized around you and filtered down to the games in your library, so you'll need to be signed in to Steam to make use of it. Here are a few key details of this experiment:
Are there other ways you are interested in exploring the available DLC for your games? Please drop us some feedback and let us know.
- Most Popular DLC For Your Games
- The top-most section is focused on highlighting the most popular DLC for the games in your library. It may be for a game you played yesterday or years ago, but the content being highlighted is selling well right now.- The meat of the page is a breakdown of the games you've played recently, or you can switch to see your games by those you've played the most. Either way, we'll show you each game with the set of available content that you don't already have in your library.
- Recently Played
- simply ordered by those games you've played most recently first.- Most Played
- ordered by the games you've played the most within the past few years. Then once it has shown all of those, it will start showing the games you've played most over past time periods.
Leave us feedback
Have you encountered a bug with this experiment? Or do you have a suggestion for interesting ways the DLC hub should present available content? Please visit the Experiment 15 Discussions to leave us your thoughts, suggestions, or bug reports.
Neat, it shows me a load of DLC I already know I dont want :V
I will be skipping Redfall for now, I've decided. Can't handle anything that is similiar to Far Cry these days. So tired of those games.
My experience with Persona 3 Portable has been kinda interesting. My first 3 or so hours were pretty positive. I didn't mind the visual novel esque presentation outside of the dungeons, it reminded me of Soul Hackers on the 3DS, which I really liked (until it become unplayable hard).
The problem is, that Soul Hackers had a cool story to tell, So far Persona 3 has just slowed down so much. Every day feels exactly the same, beat for beat. You are done with exploring the dungeon for most of the month, so there's nothing to do and just sit through it all.. The Social Link mechanic is just super boring, and annoying to boot if you don't want a huge handicap by not being able to use all Personas effectively. Nothing is happening to the group for literally weeks on end.
Does this get better at some point? This feels like a shocking drop in quality from Persona 2 (either one). Shit was happening in those games, like lots and lots of super crazy stuff. It wasn't a shitty high school simulation.

The Dead Space remake is fascinating, you think its very lazy cuz it looks just like the original, and then you look at a screenshot of the original and... oh.
It's one of the reasons i like P4 and P5 more, since the first one strings you along so well with the murder mistery and the latter has substories for each dungeon.
In Persona 3 you just do your dark hour thing for a while. A long while.
Nah, that's unfortunately it for most of the first half(?) of the game.

Well, here you have all 2022 monthly top sellers together, hope you like this gigantic version 
Just finished Hi-Fi Rush, what a amazing game! Took me 12hrs on hard, now to Dead Space.
Once they showed that it had co-op, loot and enemy health bars I knew we were in for a bad time. They threw up like every red flag they could find after announcing this game.
And the situation sucks because their last game (even if it was half a lifetime ago), Origins, was really good and was better than rocksteady's games in a few ways.

The outdoor city environments and vibe kinda, but it's much different in motion, more like a well animated cartoon.Am i wrong to think Hi-Fi Rush looks like that one Xbox game from Insomniac? Sunset drive or whatever it was?
Dead Space is performing extremely well. EA must be thrilled. Peaked tonight at 30.9k concurrent players.
Forspoken did better than expected and peaked at 12.5k concurrent players. However, it seems to have fallen quite a bit from the global top sellers.

You know what? After playing the demo Forspoken doesn't actually seem that bad.
The open world stuff seems standard fare (i.e. Ubisoft-tier), but the traversal and combat are very fun and appropriately flashy. And fun and fast traversal in particular can really carry one of these generic open world games for me, or at least make it far more appealing.
Also, the PC version seems pretty good by S-E standards. At least it supports arbitrary resolution, ultrawide, and 120 FPS, and has a reasonable selection of graphics settings.
I'd never pay 80 or even 60€ for it, but when it's available at a more reasonable price I could see myself getting it.

Im beginning to think Shinji Mikami really loved Jet Set Radio
I guess he got sick of survival horror and just wanted his own funktastic DMC clone

Man I love A Plague Tale 2 but it has some small bullshit moments here and there that piss me off lol
Right behind you! Am presently on the last boss, but have to leave the house for social stuff.
I just can't get over what an incredible game HFR is, it's nuts. Killer soundtrack, amazingly fun gameplay, and just stunningly good art design - I said "wow" several times, and it takes a lot to get an audible reaction out of me. The writing is also fun, with lots of entertaining references (there's an entire stage thats basically an homage to
Persona 5's opening
Some of my favorite bosses in a while, and rhythm combat gameplay that really grows on you (I was truly awful at Metal: Hellsinger, but am much better at this). Just a banger from top to bottom, the best Xbox first party game in god knows how long, and comfortably in the GotY conversation.
Played through this on XGP, but I'm copping this on Steam as well. Tango's getting my support for this one!
He said in the developer interview that he "would never have thought of this game", lol. Credit to John Johanas, the man has got a lot of talent.
This isn't really related to Duelyst 2. This is by a different team.
Little Big Planet 1-3 coming to Steam?
This looks to be in the same vein as Yoku's Island Express, if it is I'm all over it.
If we’re going to see PS3 ports to PC, hopefully that means Sony is looking at their entire first party library as potential PC ports.
Which tracks if you figure they want to have all these games running on Azure servers for PS Now rather than relying on proprietary hardware.
On another topic, HI-FI RUSH is still awesome, but commits the cardinal sin of syncing graphics settings via Steam Cloud.

Probably just some pranksters having fun.
What’s even more annoying is you can see what files it’s syncing and it’s basically a whole bunch of .ini files in addition to the .sav files.
So they can probably switch one of those .ini files off on Steam Cloud to disable graphics settings syncing while allowing gameplay/accessibility/language settings to continue to sync across devices, which is similar to what Durante suggested developers do before.
So close, but they fumbled at the end. Hopefully they can quickly fix this.
yeah, hopefully! it's so annoying when devs do that
I’m hopeful that since they’re 99% of the way there, they will fix it. I’ve made a post in the Steam forums (as I do for every game that does this) so hopefully they take notice.yeah, hopefully! it's so annoying when devs do that
fingers crossed someone actually reads this
Oh nice. Rolando is a classic mobile game from back when mobile games used to cost money and was not full of predatory bullshit monetization
it was novel and cool at the time it released before you had played persona 4 or 5.
It aged badly gameplay-wise
Though the shared living place makes it soooo cozy and chill at times. Miles better than the living conditions in 4 or 5.
I guess the simulation aspect of it, as well as the very slow pace might have been attractive back then. It's just interesting to me how the much older Persona 2 games feel so much stronger to me than the clearly much more modern (in its presentation) follow up Persona 3.
I guess the rumours about Atlus remaking Persona 3 might very well be true, bringing it more in line with Persona 4 and 5.
DLC? for Gorilla engine with a Fish station logo/eula?
When I played it, I had never experienced something like it before. Sure, I played VN's but Persona 3 was another beast altogether and i was just immersed in the world.
I didn't even try to max out any social links or stats, or following any guide, I didn't even know that the social links were more than a few boosts when making new Persona's.
I just chilled day after day, doing what I wanted, doing some Lazarus. or just doing nothing with my buddies in the dorm.
I feel like I'm in the next phase of ditching consoles.
I got rid of my PS5 back in the autumn with zero regrets, and now I'm considering ditching my Switch OLED and my Series S. Besides the fact I never play them, when I do I just don't enjoy the experience.
Obviously for games in the future I think PS5 and Xbox exclusives are a lock for PC at some point or another. So no worries about them.
Xbox is, well, Xbox. As someone who doesn't subscribe to Game Pass I pretty much have it as a backwards compatibility machine for OG Xbox and Xbox 360. As those machines get better and better emulation on PC, I'm pretty much at a point where I can shelve having that system. About the only game I'd miss by getting rid of my Series S is Lost Odyssey, but that's getting into a really good place on emulators so it's only a matter of time.
As for the Switch, frankly I am just fed up of Nintendo and Nintendo's bullshit. I am looking forward to Tears of the Kingdom, but that's about it going forward. I'm sick of their overpriced AA games, the way they treat their most passionate fans with complete and utter contempt, and the fact that they're stubbornly not releasing their games on PC just pisses me off even more. I know that last one is a little silly, but it baffles me that Nintendo could release 2-3 Wii U level flops in a row and they'd still insist on doing their own hardware for another generation.
The Switch is a great system marred by Nintendo. Steam Deck has fixed that, so I don't feel I need it anymore. So yeah, I'm done.
