My 'game is not shutting down' shirt has people asking a lot of question already answered by my shirt.
Babylon's Fall peak concurrent players in the last 24 hours on steam is already more than 10x lower than PSO2 NGS, a game where the dev team recognized that the lack of content is a big problem (though NGS does have the saving grace of it being free to play).

And like, PSO 2 is like 10 years old now? BF account having to do this is just embarrassing.

Do you not have fraternies in norway???? actual_norwegian_guy
i mean we do, it's kinda a national tradition in norway that people in a town get together in a brother/sisterhood type of thing, but instead of being formed through "common goals and aspirations", they're kinda only made so people can celebrate the last years of high school (by drinking a lot, i never did get it though)

guessing brogrammers are the type of guys who call each other bro and then have slight romantic tendencies between them, like
bro 1: "bro... check out the program i sent you..."
bro 2: "bro... it tells me to move my screen away from my eyes...."
bro 1: "bro.... so your beautiful eyes won't be damaged by it..."
bro 2: "bro...."
bro 1: "bro..."

While PSO2 is nearly 10 years old, NGS is essentially a new game (released June last year), it's just bundled together with PSO2, allows for players to import their characters and equipment from PSO2 (though the old equipment has limitations in NGS), and allows for players to switch between PSO2 and NGS in-game.

I played my first Pokemon TCG online with PVP and just wow....

I almost won. It was pretty insane because the cards that I was using were not that special but my opponent was using legendaries and V pokemon and stuff.



So imagine I just had a pistol and I was going to against a tank and I almost managed to take the tank out because it was going over land mines and it ended up with me stepping on one myself.


But yeah the fact that I could have won is just insane since I only needed to do like 50hp more damage to win.


I played some more rounds and everyone else was able to pretty much steam roll me (I blame those V pokemon)

What is with Ubisoft and their desire to make bigger and bigger worlds? They didn't mastered even small worlds but they now suddenly want to make planet sized fully simulated worlds.

love how they are doing everything in their power not to call this "engine for game streaming" but instead of trying to brand it as "game cloudcomputing" while promising same shit with same grand words

Grass gate and puddle gate were the most embarrassing things to ever come out of GAF/ERA.

Everyone who participated in that shit should have been stripped of their privilege of playing video games ever again.

Lol the game came out like a week ago? and they're releasing a statement saying the game isn't shutting down

Alright. Cool. I thought it was like 60+$ dollars and I had no idea it was a GaaS one on top of that so whaaaatever, Seasons? rofl O.K.
If you need a disclaimer that your game ISN'T shutting down 1 week after release...
it will shut down for real in a month

Could've told you more than a decade ago that Thomas Mahler isn't right in the head, well lots of people could, interactions with him on forums were always very unpleasant even way before Ori, dude screamed sociopath . Fuck him.
I was curious so I searched a bit - never knew that was his Maniac nickname. "Not right in the head" describes him well.

New historical lowest price for (I don't include grey market sites for this purpose):

GOD EATER 3 -86% - £5.50/€6.56

Not an impressive deal but since the game has never been part of a bundle I thought some poeple could be interested in the deal

---

And since we were talking about Moon Studios toxic workplace allegations, flash sale for:

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition -55% - $2.24/2,09€

Matches previous historical lowest price.

Elden Ring is so far biggest release of this year, i wonder will Hogwarts do better. I mean there is no chance that it can take over CoD because this is Modern Warfare 2 year but second place is not that unbelievable. But again Starfield would be there but without PlayStation userbase it can't beat these multiplatform releases. One way or another this year is shaping up to be really big and i can't wait to see what other secrets we will see.

A bunch of people are now saying that they bullied even MS employees and that's why they had to find a new publisher (the lovely people of Private Division).
Imagine releasing two games that have sold well and are reviewed very positively both by the community and the critics - pretty much all most publishers need to want to work with you again.

However, because your studio environment is so toxic because of dire leadership, and that toxicity spilled over and affected the publisher's own employees, that even a money-hungry AAA publisher like Microsoft Studios doesn't even want to work with you.

If true it must be such a terrible place to work.

Original Steam release of Alice Madness Returns didn't include American McGee's Alice unlike Console and Origin version.
Unfortunately not, indeed.
EA never released the special edition on Steam.

But I think you could still get it in Origin? I used to install it on Origin and then copy the files over to the Stream install.. change some .ini settings* and it's there.

(*There's a switch in the .ini that enables the special edition.. just not American McGees Alice if you don't have the files)

If anyone with any number of combination of Persona 4 Golden and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax how much is it with the Midnight Channel Collection - Deluxe Edition? If you only have P4G, how much is P4AU and vice versa. I want to grab both but don't know if this bundle is the best way or grabbing a discounted copy of one the game somewhere and making use of the "complete your collection"

Its 30% off if you own P4G already. Discount lasts until the 23rd then it drops to 10%

Yeah they are. Hmh didn’t know which order to start! Just checked the official website and the order they have, meaning order of when they came out .
You did well. Good place to start I don’t know (I would have to the same) but it will be a good introduction to Discworld. Sure, it could be said that this first arc is more caricature, more pastiche, than its own thing, but they are not bad and will introduce several key players.

Guys, I want your opinion about building a PC right now. The prices of gpus are finally plummeting after 2 years, and the rtx 3000 and rx 6000 series are finally getting close to MSRP. I currently have a gtx 1080 and a ryzen 5 3600, which doesn't run every game at 144op and 60fps but it's still a serviceable setup. Would you buy a GPU once it hits MSRP (hopefully in the next couple of weeks) or would you wait for Q2 o Q3 when the new rtx 4000 and rx 7000 series finally hit the stores? (there are rumors of the rtx 4070 being 30% faster than the 3090)

Im taking a break for ER. Game is so damn big, over 60 hours in and still way to go. Dark Souls 3 have 66 hours on Steam from 3 playthroughs. Gonna take a break with some smaller games, then get back to ER after those.

The game is fantastic, but need something else right now. Never have I felt a game is being so good, but yet so big, I got tired of it. It's sound negative, but it really isn't, I just need something else that is also a lot shorter to play through.

once they hit MSRP - go for it

knowing nvidia - 4000 will cost like $1k more or whatever, they're greedy as fuck

One of my very few "accomplishments" in gaming was I used to have played nearly every tactics RPG and Metroidvania available on Steam. I've fallen so, so, so, so, SO far behind, especially on the TRPGs like Avora Tactics and Fell Seal. Just too many other games got their unending hooks into me at once. I've started actually completing games this year though and am hoping in another couple months the Steam Deck will let me "catch up" on those genres too.

Around 160 hours. Most of the achievements are for defeating certain bosses, there are some for the endings so I made a backup of my saves so I could reach the endings with the same character.
How did you backup your saves without Steam cloud doing what it wants?

You can disable the Steam Cloud in the game properties. So it was just a matter of creating backups of the saves, keep in mind that one of the endings has a different trigger than the other ones so I also made a backup of a previous location.

Edit: the local save is stored there %APPDATA%\EldenRing\<user-id>\ER0000.sl2

It's a little bit hard, but yes you can create a standalone American McGees Alice copy without running Alice and put it on Steam, even there's an HD texture mod (on nexusmod) that looks quite nice (for an old game).
Something like adding -RunningFromAlice2 on steam shortcut XD

Of course I launch it with my Steam.






and steam input works like charm with DualShock 4.
