What do you put as VR game of the year? I don't play VR games but I want to answer all of the questions.

Edit: Here are my votes so far, with a sneaky VR finding.

I attempted the 52 game challenge this year and I'm sure I'll never try it again lol

But I have finished 22 this year, maybe I can finish one or two more.

There's been a lot of edits to mine and I'm not entirely sure it's final. There's a strong chance Disco Elysium might be my GOTY when it's all said and done, but I'm still pretty early on. It's already one of those top 3 I mentioned earlier.

Ah beat Wolfenstein 2, it was fantastic! Not sure why I got the impression that it wasn't that good, just somehow remember people not being to keen on it.
Click to expand...
MachineGames has done an excellent job with Wolfenstein, I enjoyed 2 a lot myself. Some of the pacing of the game could be better but all in all it's a game that delivers in so many aspects, some of them underrated like the characters. They should keep expanding story and characters in the next game, it's what makes it shine. And you kill hundreds of nazis, that also counts :P

I probably won't bother with Steam awards this year as it looks like most of the games i played this year were not released this year and not eligible.
I might just throw some of the suggested games into random categories just to get the badge or whatever though. shrug

In more important news! My surprise order of Deadly Premonition Switch Physical has turned up and it seems i bought the Collector's Edition back in September! I'd totally forgotten i'd ordered the game let alone the Collector's Edition with the metal badges. Neat.

That means i now have Physical editions of Deadly Premonition on 360, PS3, Switch, PC and the Board Game i kickstarted. I think i may have it digital on GOG/Steam too. lol.

Platformer Bundle (4 games!) on Steam

store.steampowered.com store.steampowered.com

This 4 games bundle is pretty cool considering its price. All 4 titles look nice.

Loads main page for me...
 
I just realized I still don't have the first Half Life on Steam... I don't know how.

I did only play the version that came with an italian magazine at the beginning of the 2000s, the Humble Bundle of the pre-internet days, but how could I have missed it all these years?!

And now, which version should I get for less than 1€? Source or original?
Both?

Ok, probably both.

Bought the Telltale Batman bundle. Have been waiting for them for a while. Hope the connection to my Apple TV is enough to play them on my TV around christmas. Are they still weird with looking for the onboard GPU first?
Click to expand...

I didn't play them at launch, actually the second game I only completed some months ago and they both detected the correct GPU just fine.

My only issue with Telltale games is that they never seem to get the right resolution on the first try.

Thanks for the heads up. That price is fantastic.

I clicked on those games for the first time in a long time. And with the new client update the high res banners are so good for those games. Especially Blue Shift and Opposing Force.

I'm getting the urge to replay all the games but from what I read there are actual unofficial VR mods for both HL1 and HL2. I might just wait until I pick up a headset soon to replay the entire series :)

In my case, the games detected my dedicated GPU just fine. No issues there. Played both earlier this year and enjoyed them a lot!

I just bought it myself as you might have noticed from your activity feed. I never played it though. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

How's Black Mesa actually, as a faithful reproduction? I never finished the first Half Life, just played around a lot in the early levels
Of course, I'd rather wait until they finish the Xen levels

Well... Google sure has a great strategy in mind for Stadia...

It looks like they're offering refunds now... if you ask.
Click to expand...

The dinosaur dude is not wrong though:
  • the game which GigaBoots bought is now his, he can play it without having an active subscription,
  • the game which is "offered" as part of the Stadia Pro subscription is part of the subscription service, it is not equivalent.
It is as if someone paid for a game like Bloodstained on Steam, and then complained because the game appeared on PC GamePass.

I think what Activision did is a ton worse:
  • release Spyro exclusively on Steam for 40€,
  • then a month later, offer it as a Steam key in a Humble Monthly bundle for $12, with other games. So, you can find a Steam key for $4.
In the first case, you buy a game before it becomes part of a subscription service.
In the second case, you buy a game before it is available in the exact same format for 90% cheaper.

Moreover, what is the price of Samurai Showdown? I cannot find the information. The important pieces of information are hidden as in every scam.

SamSho is $60. Stupidly you can only purchase Stadia games in their app, there is no webstore or web interface. It's all app-driven which then makes finding pricing a matter of checking third party sites instead. (Funny sidenote, they couldn't even get all the setup into one app. You need two apps to get it going - one for the Chromecast and one for the Stadia controller/backend)

IIRC Stadia Pro members also get a discount when purchasing games, so at least that person didn't have to pay full price. Sorta works like Game Pass in that way.

It makes zero sense to discontinue the Steam Controller without a new version in the pipeline and I really hope Valve did not really make such a boneheaded decision. The software may support other gamepads now but an analog stick is still a shit way to play tons of PC games that rely on mouse controls.
