Community MetaSteam | March 2020 - Rise and Shine, Ms. Vance, Until It Is Done!

So, if I like House Flipper, how would I like one of the Car Mechanic Simulators? Or PC Building Simulator?

Car Mechanic Simulator is ace as hell.

It won't teach you how to be a mechanic, but it will give you an appreciation for how the various systems connect with each other.

Great graphics. Nice camera that zooms around parts you're installing. The soundtrack royalty-free is dope af.



Lots of fun. Get the latest one (2018).

 

[PC-tan]

The HZD news is nice. I already have the game PS4. It's the complete edition but I have yet to play the game. It's not all bad since I only played $10USD for it new.

I wonder if this means that we may end up getting that one Fromsoft VR game, since I doubt it sold that well to begin with on PSVR. I was able to get a copy of that game for about $10USD or so.



The Tony Hawk news will be cool if it's true and if it's more of an arcade style type of game. I tried Skater XL when it first launched in early access and it was okay. I'm sure things have improved a lot since then but the whole idea of that control system is just not for me. And I would prefer to do tricks the way that you could in the Tony Hawk Pro skater games.




I'm hoping that HZD cost $40USD at most, and that it will potentially end up costing something like $20-30USD. Which would seem like a reasonable price for the amount of content that you get.


And ya Bloodborne for PC!!!!!


My sleep patterns are just out of whack, I think I will go to sleep at maybe 2AM at the latest and yet I'm finding myself not getting up until 10AM. And even with that I still find myself getting tired at work. Well at least I work in town and I don't have to drive over to the next town over like I use to for a while with my delivery job. Seeing how I would get off at around 12am to as late as 1am and I would doze off on my way driving home. I'm lucky that I didn't get into any car accidents, when that was happening.



Oh and I still can't figure out where to buy Death Stranding for PC (the physical edition, that I'm pretty sure comes with a Steam key). I was able to see that both Game.co.uk and Amazon Germany both have it but after shipping I think it would cost me something close to $85USD if I get it from those places, when it should be $77USD at max if I was to get it from a US retail store. But I can't seem to find one. It did mention the physical edition price in USD didn't it?

Lies!

what the hell is this

Folks with vertical taskbars on Windows are not to be trusted.

Just using wide space that are mostly unused and getting more vertical space for everything. Think about it.

What on earth have you done to your taskbar.

MSI Afterburner, Google Backup and Sync, Soundswitch, Intelligent Standby List Cleaner.

You sound like a jehova witness.

I use to have my taskbar like that a long time ago and the only reason that I had it like that was because I didn't know how to change it back. So what about Linux users? Since I thought the taskbar was sort of like that by default?

Just telling the truth. Rapture is coming!

It's like that on Ubuntu, yes, and it's fine there.

 

[Wok]

:emo:

 

[beep boop]

If someone sees me playing those Sakura games, it's, uh, just for the cards, ok.

 

[Ascheroth]

My taskbar has been vertical for years.
A monitor usually has much higher width than height, so it's only logical to put the one thing that permanently takes up space (taskbar) to the side to free up more of that limited height

I'm sure you guys with vertical taskbar also record vertical videos with your phones.

You can't be trusted >_>

 

[Wok]

It is happening.

 

[LEANIJA]

It's even more expensive, by far, than Microsoft's own games. Moon Studios is from Austria, do you guys have beef with us that i don't know about ?

Yes, obviously. We have beef with everybody.
(but Moon Studios is an international team afaik, only the studio head is Austrian. This info might be outdated though)

I know posts like "I don*t understand why popular thing is popular" are trite, but every time I see excitement about Borderlands I remember that BL2 is literally the only game with campaign coop (out of over 200!) I played with a group in coop and stopped before completing the main story. Because it was boring.

Same! And yeah, it is considered trite to say bad things about popular things, and I usually dont do it, but sometimes its okay to just voice your opinion. I also find Borderlands very boring.

I used vertical taskbars at work and at home, my taskbar is at the top of the screen.

You're just jealous because you don't know how to move your taskbar.

Still nothing on steam, drats.

 

[Wok]

I have not yet been able to start the game because of PC Game Pass. Steam might be the best option...

 

[Mor]

Well, the day has come, Horizon has been officially announced for PC. Great news, everyone.

 

[PC-tan]

So as you may have all ready there is a shortage of water bottles and toilet paper. The water bottles sort of makes sense but the toilet paper thing does not.

And is most of the stuff that has been postponed now will be done at the end of the year?

 

[Kvik]

If only Horizon is a real RPG, I would've been more excited about it. I'll probably still pick it up for cheap during Steam sale a few years from now, though.

Maybe the toilet paper is for when all the people get sick and need to blow their noses.

Seriously though, I think the thing people fear the most is being without toilet paper.

 

[Wok]

True.

 

[Blu]

Of course Borderlands bundle isn't the complete your bundle type. $60 for just Borderlands 3 if you own everything else is wack.

 

[QFNS]

Damn today has been good for news.

Trails from Zero.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Cold Steel 3 PC coming soon...

Who has time for all these games?!??!!

That doesn't even include Doom!

 

[Wildebeet]

This is very true. Around here every time there's some little snow coming, people leave the grocery store with shopping carts full of paper. It baffles me. They somehow mix up minor snowfall with nuclear war.

I just make sure I'm stocked well on coffee. Gonna apocalypse and relax.

Today i Learned that Command and Conquer had "Battle Royale" mode

Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor

Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor is a multiplayer spin-off of the original Command & Conquer game. It featured a deathmatch-style game in which each player controls any unit of the original Command & Conquer, including the dinosaurs, and travels around the game arena collecting crates to...

cnc.fandom.com

 

[Alextended]

BR is just one life free for all deathmatch so, a gazillion games had it in the past, but most often bothered to offer a lot more modes and content on top vs now :d

Never heard of that spin off though.

 

[Wok]

 

[Durante]

Good that it was resolved. I actually was affected by the back-end issues a bit today when trying to upload (and then hotfix, amateur hour in here!) the 1.01 version of the ToCS3 demo.

 

[low-G]

I always wonder what the deploy schedules are like at some companies, Valve included, who seem to just roll out an update or service change any old time of day or night, or even on Christmas day. Who changes their caching on Christmas day?

Gotta say it's nice that there's a demo. I've never tried anything in this series and it never goes bargain/bundle priced, so this is really useful to me. I've held off buying one in sales for a long time because I had no idea if I'd like it for $20 USD. It never quite makes the cart.

 

[fantomena]

Supergiant Games are very active in the Steam forums.

And the Steam forum discussions are really quite nice too.

Just found it nice to see.

 

[sprinkles]

That's a bit too expensive for my taste. I guess March is packed enough already that this one will wait a while.

Surprising tbh, after the vilification of Steam forums or how some people might get too angry at them for taking the deal, but it's good that wasn't the case.

Probably also got something to do with Hades atually being a really great game.

That's true, still waiting when it gets finished then I can get it but it's probably gonna be worth the wait

It's a also nice for testing

That said, I feel like it's really hard to get a good idea of a massive JRPG from a demo. The in media res beginning of ToCS3 helps a bit though.

Good, I just dont know if I can see past them being part of the first wave of EGSclusives, tbh. Yeah, they didnt do it as shitty as others (pulling pre-existing Steam pages like Satisfactory, or the Metro debacle), but being there day one, believing in that pile-of-garbage store.... thats just offputting.
But Hades being a roguelike isnt really reeling me in anyway. Apart from Dead Cells, they arent my bag.

It will be leaving early access soon

Steam :: Them's Fightin' Herds :: 1.0 Release Date, New Website!

Most of you have heard by now: the release date for version 1.0 of Them's Fightin' Herds is April 2nd, 2020!! We first made the announcement during our Story Mode Preview stream last Friday. In case you missed it, here are the links to the VoD: Twitch: YouTube: To commemorate the occasion, we're...

If the world is going to hell, we might as well going to hell with the cleanest of arses.

If you're interested in playing the Cold Steel series, I strongly recommend playing through Cold Steel I & II first at the very least in order to make some semblance of context and numerous character development already established in previous entries.

Depends on the demo though. A huge RPG can give away a few hours, and I can probably get the gist. Any game has to engage in the first hours, demo or not, or people are going to drop it anyhow. I just want to see if I like the world, the characters, battle system, and to maybe check the grind level.

If the world is going to hell, we might as well going to hell with the cleanest of arses.

Damn right. Peter gonna pass me through at the gates with a nod.

Yeah that's the thinking. I just need to know that it's the kind of RPG I'll keep going with. So basically I'm using the CS3 demo to know whether or not to buy CS1. What could go wrong!

 

[Alextended]

Gonna try this tomorrow but I don't have that tool, just scissors... Still cool

I use bottom horizontal on my main monitor and vertical on my second monitor. Fight me.

People in Japan are panic-buying toilet paper due to Covid-19 coronavirus

Stockpiling and panic-purchasing has hit Japan hard since Covid-19 coronavirus captured the nation’s attention. First to go were Japan’s beloved face masks, whi

I thought forum is useless and discord and reddit is more than enough.

Just got this message on Steam. Not bad.

Me reading those PS fanboys' meltdown:

It's less of a RPG than AC Odyssey. Probably on par with AC Origins.

[crimsonheadGCN]

I wonder when Humble Bundle and other key sites will start selling Steam keys for Borderlands 3? This Friday or within the next month?

 

[Nabs]

Ori 2 is beautiful. Performance is a bit on the rough side for me, which is unfortunate. I hope that clears up as I play.

It really seems like Hollow Knight was a huge influence.
