Tizoc Looks like they have a communications issue and didn't properly explain what the release was. It seems that they have a new engine for the game and released it with Overcooked 1&2 content and DLC for now with actual new content coming later. People also seem pissed that the "loyalty discount" is a bit low.

So it seems great if you don't have the other games but not great at the moment if you already have the other games.

IMO, this game keeps looking better with every showing. Very excited to play it down the road.

Looks great. There are a lot of good gif materials from combo moves in that video.

Also, it looks like some enemies have special abilities and you need encounter them with the appropriate companion skill. Like some enemies can go invisible and this girl can use an ability to reveal them. The combat is also quite heavy in QTEs, reminds me of Xenoblade series, especially 2.

Recently started Kingdome Come and it feels like everything I've been wanting in an RPG.
Don't know how this game slipped by on my radar.

Great game. Get ready for a lot of Oh look, Henrys come to visit us.

It's a great RPG, basically a non-fantasy Elder Scrolls, but overshadowed by the shitty CEO/director.

The more I watch this game, the more I like it. I was considering getting it down the road but I think it's potentially becoming a Week 1 purchase.

It's arguably one of the best open-world RPGs out there. The quest design is excellent. Unlike most open-world RPGs since Morrowind and Gothic, quests aren't designed-by-quest-markers. You're not presented with a list of what you can do, but are encouraged to act in ways that should work. And in most cases, they do!

Anyone here plays or played Tangledeep? I'm completely addicted to this game, it's one of the best rogue-likes I've ever played, despite not being able to finish the final level so far. I was so close yesterday with my pure Paladin build, but then I was killed by the tornado spamming enemies during a sub-boss fight. I won't give up tho, so I'll try another run tonight!

I have own it, never played it though.

I hate it when a good game is made by some shitty people.

Happened with Ion Fury to.

The DLC to Ion Fury also looks amazing.

I read "Snext fest" and don't know why.

 

[gabbo]

So conflicted - played and loved the initial game before it came out about the transphobic/homophobic material left in by the devs and the entire fiasco around that. Hmmm

Thanks for the clarification. I do agree about it not being great for owners of OC1 and/or 2 @_@

This game could be something big.

Me irl waiting for news on Elden Ring or Bloodborne on PC

Days since bloodborne brought up : 0.
Months of delay added by bloodborne being brought up : 127.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Honestly, with Bloodborne, Elden Ring and hell most games at this point because of all the garbage going on in the world and everyone's plans being thrown up in the air it'd be better to put it out of your mind, play other things and then be surprised again when news does finally filter out.

There's nothing any of us can do about it so we may as well get on with other things and treat it like a surprise party when it does surface. Unless...

isnt this another spinoff from Verdun/Tannenberg? They both went near dead pretty quickly iirc

I still prefer the Majula theme song over Firelink Shrine

 

[Li Kao]

I just missed a PS5 by a bunch of seconds. Feels great.
Then again I don't really have the money (feels super great !) and the wise move would have been to add 200 euros and resell it.

I hate my life right now, I can' t stand this eternal lack of money. And with no work future, hope is in low supply.

GabeN gonna walk out on stage with HL3 and BB 360 dab then walk out.

Gabe would have to do a dance move that wasn't stolen by Fortnite so he doesn't get sued by Sweeney.

Finished Ancient Gods Part 2, sogood.gif

I like the balance they got for the difficulty this time around. You can play the game normally and it's closer to the base game of Doom Eternal (though it throws a few extra marauders your way ) and you can also choose to play escalations of some of the encounters, which are probably harder than Ancient Gods Part 1 (which was hard AF).
I think I like the final boss fight, it's mechanically interesting (though it might rely too much on patience, without going into spoiler territory).
Overall, the Ancient Gods 1+2 pack is one of the best pieces of DLC I've ever played. Great finale for Eternal.

Lose interest?

Well, to be fair, you are intruding in his tower.

Tomorrow Yakuzaaa

Shit, already? Lmao I haven't even bought Yakuza 3 yet. Dumping them all at once like this was such a stupid move. I mean, it's easier on my wallet but they could've all been day 1 buys if they hadn't held off until they were all ready to drop on Xbox as well.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

There's no way i have the time for Yakuza when Neptunia Virtual Stars is out on Steam on Monday!

Nothing quite says "we're making a game that will show the reality of what happened in Fallujah" like making a fucking roguelike

Even if you disregard the war crimes bit the game still looks like generic, derivative garbage that would have been made in 2008.

 

[Valdien]

IMO, this game keeps looking better with every showing. Very excited to play it down the road.

Is there still no info available on who the composer(s) of the game is/are? It sounds a lot like Rio Hamamoto's work.

Woohoo, Ion Fury is one of my all-time favourite shooters. The weapon feedback in the game is just sublime. Although, I have my reservations regarding those vehicle sections.

 

[Swenhir]

Media outlets taking pot shots at each other is a new one.

Still, I'm going to sit this one out given that I despise them all equally, especially given the manufactured hit piece Kotaku ran on SC a week ago.

Fallujah is still a DoD-sanctioned piece of propaganda to me though.

[Swenhir]

SC?

Star Citizen. They blatantly made stuff up about overtime during the Texas power outages and many devs spoke out against it, basically going "What are you on about mate?". Then, the journalist doubled down without providing any proof and a few other outlets picked it up. It was the usual circus and I'm tired of it.

It's new. There's a blog post tab that mentions the new layout.

Just noticed this myself.

EasyList is for ads, so why are Steam widgets in there? Obviously someone has been a little heavy-handed here.

It's been fixed fortunately, you just need to update the list in the UBO dashboard.
