Sigh, finally Nier Route E. Was so boring to go through C and D. Basically same shit over again.
I really don't have a high opinion of Nier. People tell you it has a fantastic plot, but the more interesting part of it isn't in the fucking game.Sigh, finally Nier Route E. Was so boring to go through C and D. Basically same shit over again.
We'll be live in about 5 minutes with another Sunday bounce around stream! Probably going to start with some Neon White today and then we'll see where things take us afterwards.
And everyone called Square Enix a stupid company for taking the EGS bribe. The Steam community continues to prove that taking EGS money is the objectively correct decision.This week's top ten:
I still think they're stupid. This is unfortunately better than it deserves, but I take solace in the belief that it's way worse than what it could have been in a parallel universe where Square actually gave a shit.And everyone called Square Enix a stupid company for taking the EGS bribe. The Steam community continues to prove that taking EGS money is the objectively correct decision.
And if EGS exclusives didn't sell on Steam at all, taking EGS money would be the right decision for securing themself from failing.And everyone called Square Enix a stupid company for taking the EGS bribe.

10,000 concurrent users for FFVII is a very poor result. It's one third of the concurrent users of Days Gone.And everyone called Square Enix a stupid company for taking the EGS bribe. The Steam community continues to prove that taking EGS money is the objectively correct decision.
Yep, most people that cared having had like 2 years to play it on PlayStation certainly played a bigger part than 6 months of EGS exclusivity. This was never going to do Elden Ring numbers lol.If you think FF7R and Chivalry 2 are doing badly, you are wrong.
If you think FF7R and Chivalry are doing worse due EGS, you are likely wrong.
If you think FF7R and Chivalry could have done better, you are likely right.
EGS isn't the reason of everything, it's only part of these results.
Yup. It's doing well for all the circumstances surrounding it, but it could still have done far better.Square are dumb as fuck
Game doing better on Steam than you could argue it should be, but Square are still dumb and they're kneecapping their IPs with shortsighted payoffs.
Didn't Diablo 3 sell like 3.5 mil copies in 24h, which at $60 makes it $210 mil? Well, I hope bad publicity was worth it to just make a fraction of what Diablo 3 earned.Diablo Immortal's Microtransactions Have Made It $24 Million In Two Weeks - IGN
Diablo Immortal appears to be off to a strong start, as the mobile-focused take on the Blizzard franchise has generated over $24 million USD in revenue in its first two weeks.www.ign.com

A statement like that is meaningless without an argument backing it. I'd like to hear yours.If you think FF7R and Chivalry 2 are doing badly, you are wrong.
nahNow if they can just get FFTactics and some of the older DQ games on Steam I would even forgive them for all the shitty exclusivity decisions that are coming down the road with XVI and Rebirth.
I agree to an extent.I base it on peak CCUs of both games being lower than their predecessors despite Steam being much larger compared to when those games came out. Chivalry peaked in 2017 and FFXV peaked in 2018 when Steam was only a portion of the size it is today.
occasionallyyou load up video games, lash?!
Naah, don't forget that they put the shitty mobile version of Chrono Trigger on PC with ugly graphics and many bugs and they were likeAs terrible as Square has been...they do deserve some credit for putting the Pixel remasters and Chrono Trigger on Steam.
Yea but they will still release on Steam eventually.nah
especially cuz you can emulate tactics and dq
won't be ablew to emulate XVI
i'd do terrible things for thoseDQ7-8-9 on PC
Stop simping for Raikou -- that's the price.i'd do terrible things for those
I think you did a better job articulating my point than I did. I'm sure the executives at Square Enix believed that Sony and Epic contracts outweighed releasing on every platform simultaneously (and they might have), but we'll never know for sure.I agree to an extent.
I think what's debatable and the core of the question is whether a lot of people picked up the games on EGS already, or whether many of those who would have bought them at launch lost their will to do so (even though they didn't buy them on EGS either).
Given the unprecedented success that other franchises (which are nominally far smaller than FF) have seen with day-1 Steam releases (e.g. Tales of Arise), I personally think S-E still left a ton of money at the table with how they handled FF7R.
I mean, we are talking about a Tales game reaching 60k CCU while an FF game reaches 13k CCU here.
Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered was in the Nvidia leak. Don't forget Tactics Ogre Remastered, which was also on the list, showed up on the PSN database and is effectively confirmed too. FFT on Steam is inevitable, but I can't say anything about the Dragon Quest games.Yea but they will still release on Steam eventually.
But at this point its a possibility we never see Tactics or DQ7-8-9 on PC. Some of the best games ever made stuck on dead platforms
Hopefully the Pixel Remasters generate enough revenue long term to persuade them to port those other games to PC as well. Even if they are mobile versions its better than nothing.
Oops, sorry hahaA statement like that is meaningless without an argument backing it. I'd like to hear yours.
Are you using any special version of Xemu? Was always interested in the Xbox version of Conker.Continuing with emulation I'm amazed how good is right now original xbox emulation on PC.
Just tried Conker and DOAX1 and ran perfect.
and the more important Dino Crisis 3 worked perfect too.
can be rendered 4k just with few framedrops except on videos (this need to be improved) but wow.
xemu is amazing.
Just the last relase from official site (v.0740)Are you using any special version of Xemu? Was always interested in the Xbox version of Conker.
You can launch the game without the patch if you change the branch in game properties. It will run much better.Tried RE2 with the new patch. I have a RTX2060 with a Ryzen 5 3400G and 16gb of ram.
I'm playing at 1080p but to get 60fps I need to cut back on a lot of settings so I decided go for 30fps. The problem is that at first it runs fine but then it turns into a slideshow for some reason. Anyone having this problem? I'm way above recommended specs which according to Capcom should run at 1080/60.
Hell, the PC I had at launch ran the game very well though obviously without RT.
Also, I can't believe they didn't include dlss in the patch. And FSR is still 1.0!
Well, the patch is the reason I'm replaying it. And shouldn't turning off RT suffice to get pre-patch levels of performance?Today I had to nuke my 1 TB SSD because thanks PC Game Pass
This is the second time I had an issue with missing drive space but the first time I managed to restore it without formatting the drive. No luck this time tho. I'm not touching this shit ever again.

I just want to replay Orta and there are videos online showing it in great quality but every time I've tried the emulator(s) there are pretty big graphical glitchescan be rendered 4k just with few framedrops except on videos (this need to be improved) but wow.

Nah, I would rather get a copy for my Vita.Don't worry, it's most likely coming to Johren.
I'm all for anime games and not really banning anything really. This is not an exception to that rule, however seeing the CGs that had to be censored even for the west PS release, I kinda understand why Valve banned it. I really do hate that Valve is this way though, allowing what PS/NSW allows should be the lowest bar.
So Valve banned this yet they allowed TWO Criminal Girls games? Uhhh... Maybe I didn't play that far on Vita but it wasn't THAT egregious.I'm all for anime games and not really banning anything really.

I haven't played that one either, but DT2 looked like it got actual toddlers kinda.So Valve banned this yet they allowed TWO Criminal Girls games? Uhhh... Maybe I didn't play that far on Vita but it wasn't THAT egregious.
Those games released in 2017, which was kinda of a "get out of jail for free card" for Steam and porn games. Everything was allowed (see: Evenicle 1). It's in the last 2 years that Valve became much more strict which caused many games to get banned foreverSo Valve banned this yet they allowed TWO Criminal Girls games? Uhhh...

Criminal Girls got underage looking girls and that spanking mini game soooooI haven't played that one either, but DT2 looked like it got actual toddlers kinda.
Jawmuncher ALERT!!!and the more important Dino Crisis 3 worked perfect too.
