Community MetaSteam | May 2023 - Bloody hell!

[thekeats1999]

why is it hard to understand that fans of something like buying games they are fans of? I like the tabletop game, I enjoy the books they publish. The games appeal to me.

I mean as a fan of 40K I have bought Boltgun so far. Last year was Total War and then a couple of years ago it was Necromunda.

outside of that i only buy faction packs of the armies I like for total war (so orks /goblins) grab others in sales. It’s very easy to ignore the mobile games.

the same with gladius mentioned above. I may grab Chaos Space Marines but not a fan of the other factions

Anyway damn site cheaper than the table top game.

 

[Gintaro]

Part 2 of the DLC is out now!

 

[lashman]

 

[dex3108]

Apparently next Sony PC port is coming 8
In July

 

[「Echo」]

Oh I just love when Lashman gives me some more anime for the wishlist. I'll give some pages too!

They will probably just give the trailer to Keighley or PCGamer show.

It must be some game that already has a PS5 version so it made no sense to put it into the Sony Showcase which had to have games that are releasing for PS5/PSVR2 in it.

My guess is Ghosts of Tsushima Directors Cut since it was in the Nvidia leak. I really hope its DemonSouls or Bloodborne tho.

 

[C-Dub]

Could also be the Ratchet & Clank game that was in the Nvidia leak.

 

[sprinkles]

Downloaded.

Why do I always come back to PC gaming I hate myself.

Nearly 20GB for 5mins of play certainly is a choice.

But still I found this "prologue" to be good, it put the full release on my radar (will at least check the impressions). I hope you play more with the kid as a protagonist, she has quite the humor.

Also funny that the "Preorder Now" button ingame does nothing.

 

[DrShrapnel]

We need crouch stamina bars

Seen people pretty much play games like Fallout, Hitman and TLOU play crouched 100% of the time

Or Joel can barely stand up afterwards. Maybe his knees crack giving, this alerting enemies nearby.

Hell yeah, that’s a lot sooner than I expected.

Sony is in the list of participants for the summer games fest main show, at least.

 

[Lashley]

Ghost of Sushi finally

 

[DrShrapnel]

Hoping we get a couple PC announcements.

Ratchet and Clank
Demons Souls
Ghost of Tsushima

I don’t think we’ll see Horizon FW until they have a complete edition out.

[Hektor]

There is way too much Warhammer news. It never stops.

How do the diehards even have the willpower to buy, play and care about all of this stuff?

Can you play Orkz? --> Yes --> WAAAAAAAGH

Apparently Gollum ships with Calibri as the font for the game and uh... people noticed
(this may or may not be an actual screenshot from the game)

You have the entirety of Sindarin for inspiration at your disposal and you choose Calibri.
That is a real decision someone made

 

[Arc]

I bought Darkest Dungeon 2 on a whim and refunded it within an hour. $30 for what is a glorified Slay the Spire isn't worth it. I'll grab it again when it's in the $10-15 range.

 

[C-Dub]

Hoping we get a couple PC announcements.

Ratchet and Clank
Demons Souls
Ghost of Tsushima

I don’t think we’ll see Horizon FW until they have a complete edition out.

Of that list of three, Rift Apart is my first choice.

And I agree that Horizon FW is probably another 6-12 months off. But it’s also the first party PS5 game I’m most excited to see on PC at the moment.

 

[dex3108]

Porting Rift Apart before R&C PS4 would be another stupid move by Sony. In general porting R&C as much as i like those games shouldn't be their priority. It will have same destiny as Sackboy. Demon's Soulsand GoT should be their priorities.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I'm catching up with some releases and I found this one


Seems like a Vampire Survivors with a Diablo 1 aesthetic

R&C PS4 is a standalone retelling of the OG game and is pretty much non canon now. They do not need to bring it before Rift Apart.

This. Plus all the R&C games, unless direct sequels in terms of plot, stand well enough on their own.

I’ve never played the PS2 games but launched straight into the PS3 Future games. And having played Rift Apart when I owned a PS5, I can tell you it works amazingly well as a standalone game.

And I doubt R&C will suffer the same fate as Sackboy. Sackboy is a decent game that could’ve been better, but ultimately suffered on PC because it’s a couch co-op title.

Meanwhile, Rift Apart is a PS5 showcase game and for all intents and purposes a AAA single player platformer that is widely regarded as an excellent title. There is absolutely a market for it on PC.

It has an extended demo too:

It feels comfy, but for now anyway the progression feels slow and pretty limited despite the large addition of gear being a thing.

Potentially really cool once finished.

I will give the demo a chance as I'll be stuck in this online meeting for another hour.

 

[Shahem]

It has to be Ghost, right ? It's the oldest on the Nvidia leak.

 

[Sobatronix]

Bloodborne confirmed

 

[Li Kao]

I wonder if the later Ratchet PS3 games play good with emulation. I must admit I skipped 2-3 releases in the franchise when they went coop or tower defense. Pretty sure I missed the last regular episode, too.
Then again, I'm in the camp that the series lost its luster when entering its HD era and Insomniac thought it a good idea to tone down the humor in favor of gravitas. Sorry Clank, sorry Ratchet, but what you do best is crack a joke while destroying a dozen enemy on screen, not fucking ponder the unfairness of your existences.

PS. Just look how they massacred Qwark. He was a legit funny character once.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I gave the demo a chance and I quite liked it. The game is still in early access so I'll not purchase it right now but it's something to keep my eye on once it receives more content or when there is a date for 1.0.

Watch it be a game that has not been leaked.

 

[Dragon1893]

Ghost is such a fantastic game. Never got the expansion on PS4 because I've been waiting for the PC version.

 

[Shahem]

Watch it be a game that has not been leaked.

I guess it's always a possibility. But really Ghost has to release this year on PC.



On the Microsoft side of things I really want a Gears collection.

 

[Censored]

another AI apologize statement

 

[DrShrapnel]

Another developer apology. yawn

It’s as much a part of AAA game launches as Season Pass announcements.

 

[NarohDethan]

Calling Gollum an AAA game is doing it a lot of favors hah

 

[Hektor]

another AI apologize statement

Only response left for these "apologies" as if they didn't knew what state they launch the game in beforehand

 

[dex3108]

Environments in this game are simply breathtaking

 

[Blu]

System Shock Remake key redeemed. Hopefully it and the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition come out good.

Never played the originals so it should be a good time.



Out now.

 

[Sobatronix]

another AI apologize statement

Man I kinda feel bad for this small developer, it's a shame the game turned out so horrible.

 

[Stallion Free]

If they do drop a Gears collection I would appreciate them adding Gears 4 to Steam while they are at it. I would happily repurchase.

If they are doing a collection they will sure put it on Steam.
A collection makes some sense because of several reasons :
-Gears 6 or whatever it will be called, is not coming until next year at the earliest.
-There is a considerable gap in what is currently available on PC, with Gears 2 & 3 having never been released on PC.
-I don't think console owners will terribly mind a Gears 2 remake with a better looking version of Gears 3.

Do it Microsoft.

[CommodoreKong]

I don't have Ghostwire so I might pick up that bundle depending on what else is in it.

 

[C-Dub]

I think the monthly price for Choice is worth it alone for Ghostwire, so I'll probably get this one.

 

[Kyougar]

Man I kinda feel bad for this small developer, it's a shame the game turned out so horrible.

They were bought out last year by a french publisher.

 

[thekeats1999]

For me, both Ghosts of Tsushima and Ratchet & Clank are the first of the Sony games that are on my Must Have list.

Fighting the urge to buy a PS5. It would only be for FFXVI (must stay strong for the 2+ years wait) and FFVIIR-2 (same thing again). Definitely not for Spider-Man after that showing…

Boltgun is very very good.

And Stardew Valley still remains one of my GoaT.

 

[Madventure]

What's sort of annoying to me with Gollum is the game got delayed for like an entire year so like... they knew what they were working with quality wise but more so what did they even do in that time??


I'm going to give the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice league game a huuuuuge grain of salt for stuff because I love DC things and it's the last game Kevin Conroy is going be the voice of batman in so I'm going to buy it regardless of it being a giant pile of shit or not

Realistically the last few "AAA" games have been absolute trash though and the delays for them have done nothing to help them, surely something has to come out and be an exception right? Who knows

 

[Derrick01]

I can't wait until we start seeing job listings pop up for crafting the team's apology statement upon release of the game.

People are fed up with this nonsense. Don't even waste our time with the fake apology, you knew the game was this busted.

 

[Paul]

Ghostwire is pretty good, but it kinda sucks that so many Choice headliners are gamepass games.

 

[madjoki]

Free trains

Standalone game


Train Simulator DLC (game required)


Train Sim World 2/3 DLC (game not required)

 

[「Echo」]

The apologies really do start to read like AI printed stuff.

Also holy heck, hype month for Humble Choice!! Like C-dub said, Ghostwire alone justifies the price.
