Also according to some dude in Japan. P4G on PS4 at ¥4000 could sell over 100,000 copies in its first week. Which I mean seems possible. I don't think some people know what concurrent players mean since it did seem like some were mentioning how people don't play on PC since 30k is a "low number".
Yep a lot of people don't know what concurrent players mean. Nier Automata and FFXV both have 20k ish concurrent players but we know that they sold over million copies.

Looks better, but Im so tired of mediore-okay looking Soul-clones.

Considering I have yet to touch Surge 1, 2, Code Vein, Lords of the Fallen and yet to buy Ashen, Im not getting Mortal Shell day 1 and it being EGSxclusive doesn't help either.

yooo ... Overlord games are great .... although no clue about the recent isometric one
I now know WHY it takes 20 hours.
You move ever so freakin' sloooooooooooooooooooow. Like this game could be cleared in half that time if the game were atg least 2x fast.

Time to continue shilling Hardspace Shipbreaker (even though I haven't played it:grimacing-face:)

Gameplay Demo from the IGN's stream. I guess I will try a no-scanner run after playing this for a while. Sounds like a good challenge.
I already had my eye on this just based on the premise. After seeing it in action though, I'm really excited. There are so many more mechanics and systems than I would have expected. I really hope there are more interactions in the game like how pulling the power unit prevented an easier fuel-line flush. Having lots of risk-reward systems based on the order you dismantle the ship in would be interesting.

There are entirely too many games coming out this month, but I'll definitely make some time for this.

Whew, that Kotaku review of The Last of US Part II really seems like a snapshot of any future experience I'll have with the game. The writer echoes my feelings on the TLOU 1 exactly and this doesn't bode well for my purchase of this one. Straight up, when your game is described as a "misery simulator", I question my need to spend $60 to experience misery off the clock and beyond what I've already faced this year.


Yeah, fuck that.

I am pretty much done with Satisfactory. Ignoring the first person view issues and practically clipping issues, the game isn't that deep enough for me.
Sure. It's more of a make things work and pretty game, the adventuring part is still bare bones, the building could be faster and more comfortable, options to organize and label things nonexistent etc.
Overall, I'd say it is currently a bit more complex than Anno games, especially now as fluids are part of it. With one difference: Organizing, finding, and figuring out how to move the resources you are going to need for your next mammoth project is 50% of the gameplay.
Personally, there are many things I wish would work a bit more realistically, like power, fluid physics, gases are missing, cooling is irrelevant, temperature and pressure nonexistent. I agree, Satisfactory is not a process engineering simulation, even far away from it.
The game is easy to pick up, easy to make progress in and it is combining everything with the appeal of Lego building. It can be played casually, or you can jump in and min. max. the couple of variables there are to perfection. This easy to learn, harder to master approach is what often separates a good game from a bad one imo. It asks you to plan a lot in advance, it just doesn't force you to do it.

There's no link to the EGS page of Squadrons on the website, only mention is on YouTube and press release.


Just find it odd.

The EGS page is up, but that's all.

This is likely just like Fallen Order EA doesn't care about EGS and they are mainly doing it because of Disney and Fortnite

Still much too little to go on until EA Play. I really hope the flight model delivers - it has to for a MP game - but that trailer didn't make me overly optimistic.

I still appreciate a studio taking a stab at the space-sim genre. We badly need new blood working on the genre, hopefully coming up with good ideas.

Very interesting video from DF's Dictator, here's hope we can see Death Stranding and Horizon one sooner rather than later :cat-heart-blob::cat-heart-blob::cat-heart-blob:

EDIT: funny sentence at 00:35 :p

Does anyone play on their couch? I’ve recently been doing it with my DS4 but since I can’t buy a steam controller anymore I’m curious what alternatives there are or if I should just look into lapboards for games that don’t have controller support.

I do. I use a DS4 for most games. I have a cheapy wireless mouse and keyboard that i use for games with simplistic imputs like Civilization and other buildery type games. I tend to attempt to set up a Steam controller profile whenever controller support isnt available. Some games its ok but some you kind of need a mouse.

Yeah, fuck that.
yeah that does NOT read like a game I wanna play.
also, Kotaku, make your reviews shorters. way too much useless gabbering.

Ahhhhhh, I'm going to defend Kotaku bc fuck it, I usually like their reviews.

Classic bullet point reviews don't reflect how I experience games. Reviews from RPS and Kotaku, even if there is "gabbering", take a more holistic, what I experienced, birds eye view that I've found better inform my future purchases.

I prefer reviews of a middle ground. Not as short as bullet points, but also not as long and detailed like this. But hey, everyone prefers different styles, and thats cool :)

Star Wars Squadrons requires an Origin account but not the launcher. Hopefully this is how they handle it going forward. Steam achievements too 😎
Aren't the other EA games on Steam already like this?
I tried Unravel and it pretty much just uses a lite version of Origin, not the full launcher (the best thing when compared to Uplay is that this Origin lite closes itself automatically when closing the game).
Or does that game not use even the lite Origin and just handles the login in-game?

Yep! I've been using mine wireless for about three years and it's been flawless. You either need a bluetooth capable mobo or a usb bluetooth adapter.



Something like that. :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Thanks, fuck GamePass, I can't justify the cost of a new wireless pad, this should be cheaper.

Oh sorry! I just noticed I didn't mention the price, my bad. Yeah those adapters are usually around $10 here in the States so not too bad at all.
