Why would you drop Rule of Rose by name just like that. It still hurts.

Well, Yoshiro Kimura did mention a while back that if his recent titles (Mon Amour, and moon: Remix RPG Adventure) are successful on Steam, he would look into releasing Rule of Rose (and Chulip) in the future, so here's hoping.
I'm tempted but i'm also tempted by FH4.
Is there a list of the big differences between them aside from the setting?

a day later than consoles but hey. I remember you mentioned this in the highlights thread. Steam version tomorrow. (US.)

I've been playing Age of Empire IV a bit and i have to say... i am rather disappointed?
The game has good production values and is a very true Age of Empires sequel but it's almost too close to Age of Empires 2 i would say?
The game feels like Age of Empires 2 in all ways, the buildings, the technologies, the general gameplay to the point that one has to ask themselves why one would want to play it.
The primary differents are that you ascent to a new era by building a building instead of a technology and that each culture has a minor new mechanic, but it's hardly Starcraft in terms of differences. There is no metagame like in a lot of other Strategy games (including Age of Empires 3) either that at least connects the individual campaign missions or something.
I've wanted the developers to make a proper, classic sequel instead of experimenting with the formular. But they chose to not make the game feel classic, but actually rather stuck in time. Like there has been no development moving from Age of Empires 2 to 4.

Guardians finished and yeah, easily my GOTY
I found it very funny that you can unlock achievements by playing by yourself, even without AI enemies.
It bombed, so it'll be on sale or on your favourite service soon enough.
To paraphrase a popular saying from my country:
"Whats a fart when you've already shit yourself"
Hmm, think I'm going to start FF14 again, see if I can get me arse from 5.1 to the end of 5.x before Endwalker is out.
Dropped FF14 due to a lot of shit that went down in my life in 2019 and by the time I was ready to spend any time on MMOs PSO2's English release was in full swing and I gravitated to that. Now PSO2 is struggling to keep me and I need a "new" MMO, and Destiny's Vaulting shit just won't fly for me.
Let's see if it can hold on to me this time, I know it held me for most of 2.x, really the only reason I kept dropping it each expansion was because a new tragedy managed to force its way into my life causing me to not be able to commit to anything until it concluded. If this manages to happen again, fuck me.

There's some info here. I was initially going to start playing the game on Game Pass and then later on get it on Steam but it seems there is no cross-save between the Windows Store and Steam version of the game so I decided to buy the game through Steam.
It's between it and Psychonauts 2 for me, and come to think about it, that's another game that didn't get the sales it deserved and that it will probably never see a sequel.... (I know... Gamepass, but still, only 7k concurrent peak on Steam).
Booooooo
No fucking chance I am watching that 15 minute Elden Ring gameplay tomorrow.
That 3 minute trailer from earlier in the year already spoiled half of the bosses in the game probably. Plus there was other potato footage even earlier that spoiled cool things.
Going in blind the rest of the way. I can't wait tho. Hype is reaching maximum levels.
Please just release without anymore delays

Decided to give Death's Gambit a second chance and while I did get further than my first attempt, prior to the afterlife update, I think I'm done with it.
The game has absolutely no flow, you're constantly running from one extreme of the map to the other, because having connected areas is too much to ask I guess. The combat is floaty and lacks impact, the upgrade system is super bland and unrewarding (love getting 10hp/vit when enemies hit for 250), the map design is confusing and the whole thing is too damn dark. It's a mess... better than it was previously but a mess nonetheless.

delay won't hurt, Q1 of next year is already looking pretty crowded anyway
Damn, I was hoping this could be a must-buy someday. I really liked the look of it when it released, but reviews have been underwhelming. Guess not much has changed despite the update. My thanks to you and others who write honest reviews like this -- it's hard to filter out the influencer bullshit sometimes.
It always annoyed me that this got withdrawn from a release in the UK due to the tabloids making up stories about the content. Would love to see a remake/remaster/emulated version hit steam some day.
Also, I would be all over Guardians of the Galaxy. But something had to give, with about four or five games sat on my PC already and waiting to be played plus the release of Endwalker coming up.
A lot of it is right up my street, being based more on the comic book iteration than the movies (loved the 90's comics, loved the Dan Abnett/Andy Laning version and only started to get bored of them when Brian Bendis took over the run). Hopefully I will be able to grab it and give it a go over the Christmas break.
I'm convinced unless you earned the benefit of doubt (and I mean really earned it) it's going to be hard to convince someone to shell money for a marvel game. Avengers simply caused too much damage
I fully expect only games like Sony's Spiderman 2 will have great sales
I think this might do well on PC though, X-COM game basically with cards
I'd buy FH5 if I had the money. And a job. Don't get a STEM degree, kids.
I strongly disagree with Kio's review, and I'm no influencer
I really liked Death's Gambit, especially after the free expansion. I'm not sure what class Kio played, but for me the combat felt great and I never felt underpowered. All enemy/boss attacks can be dodged, it's just a matter of timing. Also, all areas are actually connected by a huge corridor where you can fast travel using a horse, and you unlock unlimited warping to any save point later in the game. It's definitely one of the best metroidvania's I've played!
Bombshell seldom goes on sale on steam store. This may be a good chance to pick it up.

I'm using an Ikea Langfjall for a few months and really like it. Despite its looks it's really comfortable once you get used to it
I use an Ikea Markus chair and that's pretty comfortable, I find.
I also use an old used chair I got for 40€ back when I was a student. It looks like it cost 10 times that when it was new (like 30 years ago maybe) and is still in surprisingly good shape, aside from the upper cloth that was falling apart, but also not hard to replace.

There's a sale going on on Steam until November 9th, where a part of the proceedings goes to the War Child and Children in Conflict charities:
store.steampowered.com
There's a lot of great developers participating, like Amanita Design, Sam Barlow, inkle Ltd, and plenty more.
Game Action: The War Child Winter Sale
A wide variety of games from our partners all supporting War Child UK and Children in Conflict. A % of every purchase will be donated to help children affected by war.

It may just be a case of something not being for everyone. Sounds like the 2-hour refund window should be enough to try it out. I really wanted this one to be good, because the art style is just so cool! BTW, are you sure you're not an influencer? Because I feel influenced.I strongly disagree with Kio's review, and I'm no influencer

OP
The man who deserves all the praise now has a front cover on Famitsu!
I'm also in the market for a new chair. I was thinking of spending a bit because, well, my back has been bothering me lately and since I already spent most of gaming life in hand-me-down chairs, it's time to actually buy a decent chair.
Anyway, I was thinking of getting a Steelcase Gesture. It's a bit on the expensive side, so I'll have to track down a showroom I can test the chair first.
Gesture
Gesture redefines the relationship between you and your chair. Voted best office chair 2022 by Wirecutter, its 360-degree arms, contoured back and adjustments are designed for all the ways technology shapes your posture.

Thinking of getting the headrest as one of the options, too.

You know they can't wait to bait millions of little kids into this gambling future full of new willy wonka mechanics.
chairs huh. I got a DXRacer in early 2017 and it wasn't a bad purchase per se, but i do wish I'd gotten something a bit more office or comfy oriented.
It's a good napping chair at least with how far back it reclines.

Hmmm, i see the Geforce Now stuff is spreading around again.
(Click the image to go to the article.)
I didn't scrape the dates when i initially got the archive of listed games. But to me it seems to be mostly estimates rather than actual dates. Here's three examples.
Steam in particular lets developers fill in the "release date" section with whatever text they want, New Blood's stuff notably uses "SOON™" (with the trademark and everything.) for titles that don't have proper release windows, as an example.
But Nvidia's backend specifically requires an exact date to be added, from the looks of things.

- Actraiser Renaissance is listed with the release date of October 1st, It actually launched September 23rd.
- An "Untitled Hangar 13 Project" has a date of August 2nd, most likely the one that just got cancelled.
- Horizon Forbidden West has a date of September 2022, which only really makes sense if Sony didn't delay the game out of 2021.

oh, this game was mentioned in the same Reddit post back in May or June that first leaked that Firaxis was doing a Marvel game. Guess it may have gotten pretty close to an official announcement before the axe fell.
I just realized it has been almost over 7 years since I played FF14. Holy moly, I could have sworn it was not nearly that long ago, but sure enough it came out in '13 and I only played for some odd months until I shelved it. Had some folks ask if I was returning haha. It is tempting, though I originally dropped it due to the subscription fee.

I really do not need any other games to play, but gosh I am wanting a space game like Elite Dangerous with walkable space stations and/or futuristic cities. I feel like nothing ever replaced Freelancer. Everspace 2 looks so good, but still lacks some of the aspects I liked from Freelancer....

I just saw that leak and according to that Returnal PC port is being developed by Climax Studios. Wasn't Housemarque the real developer? WeirdHmmm, i see the Geforce Now stuff is spreading around again.

The most likely explanation is that Nvidia had some basic access to release windows from the developers, and they just filled out the dates to fit around them.
- Actraiser Renaissance is listed with the release date of October 1st, It actually launched September 23rd.

Also, System Shock Remake was delayed to 2022 apparently, which I believe since Nightdive has been really quiet about it.
