Deep dive: how Darkest Dungeon II hit 600k+ units with a 'different' sequel
Also: GOG's top-selling titles of 2022 & lots of discovery news.

The Steam version of Darkest Dungeon 2 has nearly surpassed that other store's sales in around a month.

Watching the latest ff16 dungeon footage on IGN and it makes me think of an increasingly common issue I see in games. It feels like a new trend during combat is to overload your senses with a bunch of shit on screen whether it's particle effects, fast overdone animations (like say a sword slashing a hundred times in 1.5 seconds) or just having all the enemies on screen launch attacks with effects at the same time. There was probably a time I would have thought this looked cool when I was younger but now it's just annoying. How can I think something looks cool when I literally can't see what's going on?
I dunno how far back the RPS article archive goes, but maybe you could still find that? If its not online there, try the Internet Archive --> Rock, Paper, Shotgun: PC Gaming’s Beadiest Eyes (here it is in 2007)
that way you could maybe at least find some titles?
Even with Steam I still have problem to find that one game that I bought from a bundle last month
Yeah I know what you mean, sometimes I randomly think of some game I played sometime/ages ago and then have troubles remembering what it was.
but the same thing can happen with music and other stuff, where a glimpse of something enters memory and then drives me half-insane trying to figure out what it is.
and just yesterday I re-listened to a bunch of music I made in my 20s and was surprised how many songs I'd forgotten.
even worse however, is forgetting people, or losing contact with people online that you used to chat with and are now just .... gone, without a hint of how to contact them
oof that went into a weird territory quickly D:

it seems the RPS archive is still all online, there is even a "free games" category; Free games (Page 156)
here is the oldest stuff from 2007 still there
the rest, the "normal" articles are to be found here July 2007 Archive or just by going to the oldest page Latest Articles

Newsgrounds was a site where people could upload their flash games. For example the amazing fan-game to The Room film is still there and works on modern browses: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/547307
Poor Kirju, just can't enjoy his well-earned retirement.
damn Sony, trying to sabotage the MS conference!

Edit: Also, CP2077 expac straight into my veins, i'm soooo ready to finish it. Despite the launch hiccups and years of fixing, It's a great game overall and i hope they make a sequel...
yeah, i'm glad they decided to sell a full kit as well
Jeez, I've have Age of Wonders installed since the day it launched but I haven't touched it yet. There's too much else to play! I'm not ready for more content packs like that, lol.
It is in (extremely early) preproduction, I would not expect it for another 4-5 years, but I do think it will happen. CDP is building new studio for it in US.
That tweet thread is very interesting, would like to read Durante's take on it for sure.
It is kinda funny/sad how Mantle/Vulkan/DX12 were supposed to save us from terrible problems of DX11 and bring us "closer to metal" console-style and the end result is exchanging one set of problems for another.
And ironically, Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the best optimized DX12 game ever.
Contrary to everything else in my life right now, I'm delighted to say System Shock Remake is perfect and a breath of fresh air in today's gaming landscape, which is ironic considering it's (original) age but great game design is eternal and will be forever be great. I still think SS2 is the superior game but SS does everything almost as perfectly.
Now the 15 year wait for SS3 begins...
PS: Can someone remaster Ultima Underworld already?

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
But they all said they were investigating the issues some users had encountered. Would they straight up lie?

At least Forspoken is a good port now. Can wait to get it on a humble choice or a 90% sale.
Insomniac should be terrified
Who knew that Kiryu was behind the mask of japanese Spider-man.
Video of Whoopi Goldberg asking Blizzard to release Diablo 4 on Mac.
Speaking of Diablo 4 I was lucky enough to buy it off a friend for half off since he got a 4070ti recently. Been having fun playing as a rouge.

Wouldn't this Proton-like solution that Apple presented already make this possible?
I was thinking the same thing but I am not too familiar on how to setup that up. I am not sure if it's a complex process.
yep apparently

Friday the 13th will be delisted by the end of the year, and then switched off by the end of 2024
never played it or had any interest in it (not my kind of game) but its a shame we now live in a time where game preservation is so bad.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is 75% off, a new historical low
Already have this but even if you don't like Halo, the MCC for 10$ is a crazy good deal
