Community MetaSteam | June 2019 - Microsoft does what Epican't

[kio]

OMG.

That reminds me.

In July I start "30 Days of DotA: Road to The International 2019"

I'll make a thread...if I can by then.

The idea is to play at least one game of DotA per day until The International begins. That is, the Group Stages.

Anyone want in? It's basically the one time per year when I play. badness

I'm a "retired" player. So pardon the off-meta badness.

Thanks to you I went and dug up my old dotabuff profile. I can't remember if it was 6.84 or 6.85 but that patch completely broke me and I still shudder when I think about it, so much so that I didn't play a single minute in these last 3.5 years. Now I just stay away for fear of being sucked into it again
The truth is I love Dota2 but as a spectator and even though I still think there have been some questionable nerfs & buffs and mechanical adjustments in the past, it's by far the best competitive game we currently have.

Hilarious, Valve’s autochess is actually going to end up beating League Tactics by a few days.

My tinfoil hat theory is that the EGS exclusivity of Auto Chess and League Tactic’s announcement pushed the Beta up a few weeks, but they probably didn’t actually do that.

Would they be trying to move to their own client for that? Maybe they'll try to turn the mogstation into their own client? I think they could create something even more abominable than Bethesda's client.

As an XIV player who regularly interacts with Mogstation, that thing is a piece of shit. Any launcher/client they make is almost guaranteed to be awful.

 

[Snakethesniper]

Didn't know LOL had announced their autochess.

BTW how's autochess? Seems an interesting concept but I've never looked deeper into it

This Steam Inventory Helper is janky af. Constant errors. Going way slower than I imagined.

I missed the conversation earlier about this, but can someone write up a topic that I can watch about trading cards (e.g. that whole best time to sell/go for gems/etc. stuff). I definitely want to squeeze my cards for what they're worth.

At least you had a 50% winrate.

I'm mad just looking at my profile, let alone actually playing a game.

It's a fun game with many nuances. It's basically an asymmetric deck builder where you manage synergies, positioning and economy. The pool of units is shared among 8 players competing against each other, and stronger units become available over time. It even has some comeback mechanics so you have a wide variety of strategies each game.

It's still in its infancy mechanics wise so it has still a lot of room to grow as a genre.

Also apparently the graphics for Underlords are placeholder which is good news.

Based on this video, the game does not look too bad.

God Wars is out, any impressions?

I didn't realize this was out on Steam. Newest game from the 80 Days dev:


Also Silksong gameplay for those of you who missed it:

[fantomena]

Anyone here who owns a Switch should get Cadence of Hyrule, it's crypt of the nekrodancer in Hyrule.

If not, you should still get Crypt of the Necrodancer on Steam.

 

[Deleted member 113]

Developer Renegade Sector is releasing their new game in 10 days:






The game will surely also be available on their itch.io page:

Tales of the Renegade Sector - itch.io

I know the low poly graphics will scare some people, but their games are usually very enjoyable.

I posted keys to a few of their games in the giveaway section, in case anyone wants to try out some of their previous games.

Call of Duty Black Ops servers went down today making Zombies unplayable even in solo (you can use a workaround for solo play though and Activision didnt give any warning or statement.

Activision said they were "looking into it" but its hard to believe them when Gorod Krovi has been broken on consoles since last year and they also were "looking into it".

I can't get ReShade to work on Octopath, it won't even load. Even if I try renaming the dll from dxgi to d3d11.dll

Kinda stumped. Maybe it's denuvo preventing it? If so, this would be the first time ReShade is prevented, because I've thrown ReShade at every denuvo game I own and never had an issue. Even FFXV with it's super annoying issues!

Edit:

Nevermind, I fixed it!

For whatever reason, Octopath ships with two .exe's and the one Steam runs is nestled in here:

So you want to install ReShade there so that it looks like this ->

I wonder why they shipped it like this though...

Regular game should be five bucks on the eShop as well.

Because squee- that has Denuvo, doesn't it?

Yup, seeing signs of fecal matter on the store, it's Denuvo.

cool little RPG now on KS , close to get funding

 

[Amzin]

Since I already own [Hidden content] Bad North, I'll dive back in over the next 30 days. It's a good 8.0 game.

I'm in an ethical quagmire because Raw Fury publishes Dandara too, and I've made a commitment to purchase games with brown protags.

I noticed that Afterparty has a brown co(?)protag. And so now I'm torn.

Does supporting diversity supercede the scumbaggery that is EGS?

Haven't figured it out yet. But I'm glad Valve already snatched up In the Valley of Gods dev.

Afterparty is coming to the new Windows-Xbox store thingy I believe, so if you want you could get it through there (that was an early leak though so not confirmed as far as I know). Still lame they sold out at all, obviously, but at least supporting them and not Epic.

Afterparty will be on PC GamePass at launch yes.

 

[BlueOdin]

Was close to buying the Dota2 Battlepass to get Underlords but I think I can wait until next week.

Getting really excited for Dragon Quest Builders 2. Just wish Square would do a PC version.

Also lots of stuff to play after I’m done with my exams in July. Resi 2, Plague's Tale, Metro on Gamepass.

Thankfully I will have lots of freetime.

 

[Tizoc]

Likewise
For me ive got
Max payne 3
Macbat 64
Ac origin
Crash team racing
Ff14
Dmc5

Gonna save ff14 for last tho.

Did you play Builders 1 ? Now I know this sequel brings a lot of new elements, but just saying the first one was so repetitive that after finishing it in february I still can't conjure the will to play 2.

Played it last year and liked it. My main complaint was missing first person view and starting over from scratch every chapter. Both of these seem to be addressed in DQB2. I also like Minecraft, so that helps.

Only bummer I heard so far is story mode is not coop.

Capcom regarding MHW:Iceborne PC release date : we’re trying to minimize that gap , Still winter ATM , working out something better for that schedule

Just do it, Capcom.

Well I won't have lots of freetime, but my list is longer

Currently prioritizing the GamePass stuff this month, so that I can unsub.
ReCore
Guacamelee 2
Super Lucky's Tale
Operencia and Battlefleet Gothic Armada are games I want to try but don't know how much I like them
Slay the Spire I'll try, but will get on Steam anyway because Workshop support
(There may or may not be some other games I haven't thought of).

Then on Steam I'm still in the middle of:
Shining Resonance Refrain
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet
Smoke & Sacrifice
The Turing Test
Republique
Yakuza 2

And then there are:
The Surge
Clannad
Romancing SaGa 2 (I really should get to that)
upcoming.
(and probably more).

And there's no way I'll finish all of that before the Summer Sale, with no way of me not buying anything more

 

[texhnolyze]

Bleeding Edge gameplay.

I just came back from Singapore and I'd like to share a picture I took with you, my fellow councilors.

My GF probably thought there was something wrong with me when she saw me grinning like an idiot and taking a picture of whatever this is.

Oh, my actual list is a lot longer. I was narrowing it down to this years releases. Also got Druidstone and Wargroove from this year to get back to with Mario Maker 2 and Underlords probably eating a lot of my time.

 

[Tizoc]

Mor games that leave early access should be in your steam pages thread. I can't keep track of all of them @_@

I love Kingdom Rush. Been looking forward to this release for a long time (+1 month) since I'm not going to play on a phone.

I've bought it 2 weeks ago with the coupon, but of course I haven't played it yet, as I just finally managed to finish Kingdom Rush Origins!

I'll probably need at least a couple of months to start this one

Well, it's too bad Mosaic (Raw Fury) lost my sale via Twitter.

Also, I've been able to get about half of my cards up with the SIH, but I've only gone from $54-76. I got another 1,400 cards to go. What I'll probably do is any cards that didn't sell by the end of the seal, I'll just add back to my account to craft what I have left. It is nice to somewhat start over. I had far too many cards to try and start crafting them all. The plan forward is to craft a badge after I finish a game. I may stop when I get to a certain amount of badges, I'm not sure yet.

2k sale over at GMG.

Borderlands The Handsome Collection (BL2 + Pre-Sequel & DLC) is only $3. Mafia 3 (Deluxe Edition) is $12.30. Regular edition is cheaper, but the DLC is worth it.
