So I have played Octopath Traveler 2 for about 2-3 hours (went with Temenos).
What I like:
What I dislike:
Honestly I am kind of unsure whether to continue, the filler combat where I can't walk few steps without fighting something drives me up the wall. And so far the only fight that was at least a little bit engaging was against the werewolf in the cathedral, but that thing had so much HP the fight actually dragged longer than I would like and became boring.
I guess the whole game is like this and if I do not love the combat, I might as well cut my losses and just listen to the soundtrack on youtube?
What I like:
- the visuals are nice and cozy
- the music is great, although the combat music gets repetetive
- story setup (murder investigation) is not original, but it is pretty well written so far
- it kinda plays well
What I dislike:
- SO MUCH RANDOM FILLER COMBAT
- having to constantly press A after every line said, even during cutscenes
- repetetive combat music

One of my fav mobile games from before mobile gaming went to gacha hell getting a sequel and port with qol of the original. oh my.
- SO MUCH RANDOM FILLER COMBAT
You have 2 speeds for battles - having to constantly press A after every line said, even during cutscenes
you can press R1 and you have auto talk with 2 speeds at least in cutscenes - repetetive combat music
the battle music change when enemies are more strong
Updated my steam profile a little and by updated i mean i added Makima gifs
Shadow Gangs Zero is an improved and expanded edition of the game that now targets Neo Geo as the lead platform with pixel art aesthetics and more frames of animation. It will also be ported to other systems like the Genesis, the Dreamcast with more colors and rumble support and modern platforms too.
There's no mention of the improvements and changes in content making it back to the original game on any platform. It's a separate project to Shadow Gangs 2.

If you ever get a chance I would recommend going to a video game concert, they are pretty cool. I went to a movie concert and it was not really what I was expecting. Live music is nice when you pair it with imagery but if you don't then it's kinda okay. Maybe not all of them are like this and maybe they only got the rights to show certain clips?
But yeah it was kinda lack luster. Also I never really thought of it before but there really isn't any official merch. Hollywood composers seem to have it rough. And maybe this is the reason why we only see video game concerts from big and well established video game composers that only work for 1 company or something to that extent.
---------------------------------------
The movie concert that I went to was for John Williams, he was not there to compose because of illness and when they played certain songs there was no images at all, so I was not really sure how to "feel". Songs in movie can make an impact on you but that's in big part because of the movie (the moving picture), if you take one part of the equation out then you are left with something rather lack luster.
If I have never watched a movie before and you play a song, then it's not going to do much for me but if you put images to that song, then it becomes more easily to pick up the emotion behind the song. This is one of the reasons why the Nier concert was not next level stuff. But that's because it was being done in the way of a movie. Which is what some movie theaters will actually do on special occasions where they will have a live music performance which I hear is amazing but it's very rare and you have to go to a large city where you might be able to experience this.
The Scott Pilgrim vs the World concert I went to had images and clips from the game so it was progressing with the music and you saw an ending and all. With SMT, it was not the original SMT band from Japan performing but you did get at least get a thing mentioned which game the song was from.
Anyway if I ever go to a Hanz Zimmer concert and they don't play the corn field song from Interstellar I will be very disappointed. People at the John Williams concert had Jurassic Park and Harry Potter stuff, but none of that music was played today.
Thank you for listening to my rant also if you irno video game music remember you can always stream it and in some cases you can still buy the CD for some video game music rather easily.

Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs
Small company, huge influence.
The Verge made article about one of Valve Leaks.

valve bad etc
steam 30%
bad gaben yacht man
Even for closed beta it's dead. We saw much bigger numbers for closed beta releases.
Minecraft and Mohjang?
Feel like it could fit the redactions in terms of length and would make sense in context

Minecraft is now owned by Microsoft, so would be weird to describe it as a "small dev" and leave out the connection the Microsoft. I also don't see why it would be hard to explain why Minecraft did not care about Steam: at its heyday it was big enough to not needing Steam and hence no point in paying a commission to Valve. This sounds to me like a game that isn't quite as big or successful as Minecraft, where it's a bit strange for it to avoid Steam.
Still incredible to me how big Minecraft has become, and how it will apparently never stop selling, just like Lego. My cousin was bothering me just yesterday about how to transfer Minecraft license from his account to his 6 year old son's account because he purchased it for his own by mistake.
He had to buy a second copy..

Yea I don't think any Valve employee would be gushing over an old game like that in a deposition.
Tho it does say "We tried so hard for so long" so maybe it is Minecraft. I'm thinking its more recent and early access or F2P. Maybe something like Tarkov.
Conspiracists will say Covid was engineered by pharmaceutical companies but it was actually the gaming industry
KH is getting way more marketing after Steam release XD
Court hearings aren't about giving honest answers, as such it could be a very counterproductive thing to admit to that

EGS as they took big names that year (not that many after that) and new revenue share structure too (which took place at late 2018, so 2019 would be first year with new one entirely) then Covid boosted up everything
Yoinked this from Reddit. They actually took a decent hit in 2019 when EGS was going all out.
A valve employee makes 400k to 1 million dollars a year on salary.
Otherforum: "They should unionize! That's just 1/1000th of what a billionaire has!"

Finished Life is Strange True Colors today. I enjoyed playing it and Alex is best protagonist for me so far (sorry Max and Chloe) but LiS1 still has the best overall story and twists. Game really had nice small mountain town atmosphere but kinda didn't use that setting much. And LiS1 still has best choices and consequences out of all games and especially compared to True Colors. Overall decent LiS game that is bit smaller in scope compared to previous games with great main character and mediocre main story.
I think EGS is irrelevant in all of this.
It kind of feels like Valve had a big abnormal spike in 17 and 18 thanks to PUBG and BR craze. Steam concurrent were haywire during that time too iirc.
If you skip those two years and just look at 16-->19 it looks like normal growth.
Afterwards it all blew up as Covid brought a lot of money to the industry in 2020.
Edit: looking at 2019 game releases it looks like biggest releases that year were Sekiro and RE2. Neither of which were on EGS so yea kind of a down year as a whole. So it was more like Steam coming back down to earth in 2019 and PUBG mobile took a lot of steam out of the PC version a year prior.

Supraworld (Supraland 2) could enter Early Access this fall

Supraland - Supraworld Early Access date - Steam News
Due to the recent daily deal and summer sale on Steam, Supraland got a lot of new friends. It had the highest player peak since 2020 even. If you haven't yet, please wishlist our upcoming game Supraworld which is in the works since 2021. Then next step for Supraworld is to finish act 1 (out of...
Yeah, that strategy reads the same as all the hit articles against valve that the Press was being spoonfed by epic back when their store released: any semblance with reality is a coincidence.Always remember this slide when you see someone going "Valve bad"
Thankfully Timmy doesn't have a magical reality-distorting field like Jobs.
Regarding Apple and Google's stores, they are monopolies and should be treated as such, maybe one day.
