So fucking stupid. They manage to make Cygames look good, despite their shit handling of GBVS.

SNK what are you doing ?

Another fighting game dead on arrival...

"The PC version of Samurai Shodown will launch this spring via the Epic Games Store."

Press release would've mentioned Steam if it was actually going to be on Steam.

That's not an actual press release though, the news source is the same video.

Over 90 everywhere going by the first ~20 reviews and that's with an 8/10 because they didn't want to be immersed in a "bad" atmosphere given real world covid bs (?!). It's getting a bit review bombed with some 0/10 in the Metacritic user reviews but there are too few in general there yet (duh).

 

[MJunioR]

Now I just need to find time to play it

Fair, but better to run on the assumption that if Steam isn't mentioned = no Steam release.

 

[Joe Spangle]

Downloading Alyx! Woo. Though ive been drinking Gin n Tonics all day soooooo maybe not play tonight.

 

[Arsene]

Alyx's ending is already on youtube so watch out for spoilers.

 

[Eferis]

I trust Alyx to keep the tradition of half life games making me puke going.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Hey Cold Steel 3 is out! HOW DO I BUY JUST THE GAME AND NOT ALL THE DAMN DLC?????

Give it a bit longer for the base game to be available, probably some kind of delay with approval for the non bundle.

 

[Cordelia]

Is Half Life 3 confirmed?

 

[Firewithin]

Is Half Life 3 confirmed?

in our dreams yes

 

[Deleted member 113]

Does anyone know if the The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - Digital Limited Edition from Humble includes those time-limited DLCs (soundtracks, artbook, cosmetics)?

thanks

 

[fantomena]

20 min and Im going to City 17.

 

[dfghstrbght]

Guess it's a nice opening for Cold Steel 3, wonder if it can go higher, I'm waiting for the normal version to be purchasable

 

[sprinkles]

1 hour in and I love the attention to detail in everything. Not much happened yet, but I fed my pet! Some luminous bug, I think I remember them from HL1

 

[Arsene]

Its live now. Looks like NISA's CAD regional pricing is back to what it used to be

 

[dfghstrbght]

Its live now. Looks like NISA's CAD regional pricing is back to what it used to be

I wonder why it's €49.99 on Steam and €59.99 on Humble, I'm assuming price error on Steam

 

[Deku]

Holy crap, so many dlcs for Cold Steel 3. What are they? Looks like consumables

 

[fantomena]

Download is done. Im going in.

 

[MJunioR]

I know what costume my rean will be rocking out

 

[dfghstrbght]

Holy crap, so many dlcs for Cold Steel 3. What are they? Looks like consumables

looks like outside the usual cosmetic stuff it's consumables stuff

 

[QFNS]

The "launch edition" base game is live now. So now I can buy it and go back to playing Trails from Zero in a desperate attempt to catch up.

 

[Milena]

I've played the first hour of Half Life Alyx. It's awesome
Well, I've played an hour, maybe it was like 10 minutes of actual content

There was a pidgeon on the first roof, he was taunting me. I'll assume at this point that you can't hit the pidgeons.

 

[derExperte]

Lots of VR games discounted.

 

[dfghstrbght]

going higher ~ ~ ~

 

[fspm]

Now I just need to find time to play it

The amount of dlc is obscene. Don't support such anti consumer practices. Oh wait.

 

[fantomena]

10 min into Alyx

The game looks fucking gorgeus on ultra (GTX 1080, 32 GB RAM, 5820k 4 ghz).

Im just walking around touching and playing with everything lol.

 

[Arsene]

for the curious

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

VG24/7 uploaded the ending to Half-Life: Alyx on Youtube and I watched it. omg

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I'm staying the hell away until i can play it in a day or so. JeffG is playing it on GB Premium at the moment and the little i risked watching looked freaking great. The interaction with random objects is insane.

Any recommendations for a good quality no commentary walkthrough of Alyx on YouTube?

 

[lazerfox]

Only 2 hours into Alyx and I have to say there is no way they're going back to flat gaming after this. It so damn good the gameplay and atmosphere is just groundbreaking.

I hope they take In the Valley of Gods and rework it into a fully fledged VR title.

Does anyone know if the The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - Digital Limited Edition from Humble includes those time-limited DLCs (soundtracks, artbook, cosmetics)?

thanks

I'd like to know as well if it is the launch week only edition on humblebundle.

 

[PC-tan]

Lots of VR games discounted.

I wonder why, also I saw the Road to VR tweet about the new HP HMD that Valve is helping with.

Then I saw lashman post that there is now a steam page for said product. I guess they are more involved then I thought they were.

So will the HP HMD be the enterprise version of the Index, and then Valve will work with some one else to make more of a budget version (possibly Samsung) to make a "index lite" that they can sell for around $600-800 USD as a bundle with light houses and the controllers

UploadVR Is uploading the entire game with no commentary by chapter, The first 4 are up and the final chapter but the rest are being added slowly. They should be all up by the end of the day.

Thanks mate!
Maybe I wait for the ChristopherOdd walkthrough, really like his style of playing and caring for story elements.

Steal a VR headset if you have to.

This bundle made me happy until I realized it was GOG. Damn.

Have to work a bit, but goddamn Alyx is so fucking good. It's blowing my mind.

Rating is at 83% now.

it's a good game!

 

[Eferis]

I'm only through the first chapter on Alyx so I have not seen much yet but the atmosphere is absolutely unreal.

 

[Le Pertti]

I'm glad they seem to be really fixing up Generation Zero, I always wanted to play it, I mean it's Sweden, in the 80ies, it's made for me!

 

[PC-tan]

Today I learned that Naru Omori works as Valve and was potentially involved with Half Life Alyx.

There are a lot of people that work in one place and end up in another, I can't remember their name, but there was this one person that was working at Valve for a number of years and one of the recent things that they ended up doing was help localize the new Animal Crossing game
