Steam :: Steam Client Beta :: Steam Client Beta - November 1st
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes: General Additional information about controller support has been added to the client: Game details pages in the library will now show information about specific controller and VR support next to cloud status, achievements, etc...steamcommunity.com
Some nice QoL for PS controllers in this beta update.
So not only do I have too many games to play... but today is the 1.0 release of My Time at Sandrock too!
Mmh, kinda tempted to buy the recent releases I have ignored until now, like Alan Wake 2 and Robocop.
USD, the Yen equivalent was north of 3.5 Billion or something close to that.
this is free to keep on Fanatical (steam key)

Kona 2 has been released ? Wizard with a Gun has been released ?
Jesus, there are so many releases that some slips through the cracks for me. Not that I was that interested, but eh...

I started the first one since I've had it for a while.
It's... just okay, but it seems like the 2nd goes for a Ratchet approach to combat, which should be good because combat is just really bad in Smurfs Mission Vileaf.
It's not a great game.
Especially sad since Microids also publishes the Marsupilami Hoobadventure game, and that game is miles better and genuinely good, unlike the Smurf and Asterix ones.
I need to add some reviews in the dedicated thread
fixed to 720p again, I have heard. They did 9 years of R&D on how to do other resolutions on PC after Ikaruga, but sadly couldn't find a solution.Please, please, please be a good port.
it's curious how today epic games free game is Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, not sure if this is made on purpose. xD
Just got my Robocop key, can't download it yet
is out!!
I'm waiting for my cdkeys key
it's curious how this game releases everywhere but XBOX, specially when The Last Hope got kind of 360 exclusive deal long time ago.

Hey if anyone buys that bundle, feel free to send me your extra The Forgotten City key. 
Yeah, pretty sure the Xbox app doesn't have any way of handling beta branches for games, despite there being several first-party games that have used beta branches over the years that all had to use Steam for that. Sorting games by Metacritic scores is obviously more important.
I'd love that too, but there's not much to be done about it. Valve would somehow need to make custom firmware for those controllers that makes them act like non-standard gamepads.
My Time at Sandrock runs pretty alright on the deck. Might became my new morning coffee game.

Finished Control.
Had a good time with it. The combat is great and the game really stands out visually from anything else in the genre.
Story felt pretentious to me.
Was disappointed that there was
but getting a Porcupine Tree song for the credits was awesome.

no final boss
I was excited for this as well. Anyone else getting frequent 1-3 second episodes where graphics freeze? Seems to be getting worse the further I get into the tutorial/introduction as well. Lowering the farthest viewing distance to far and lowering DLAA to DLSS Quality did not help. This is with a 4090 and 12900k system
Here we go!!!
I actually don't think Remedy ever takes itself too seriously in its story telling. They are aware how silly games as a medium can be, and how silly their stories in particular are. There's always plenty of levity, of joking around to lighten the mood. It never goes to MCU levels of having to point out to the audience that things are silly, but calling it "pretentious" seems very strange to me.
It cares a lot about its characters and the setting of the FBC, sure, but you don't have to dig deep into that stuff if you don't want to, so I would be interested in what exactly you mean there. I understand I'm completely biased here, Control couldn't be more up my alley with its presentation and art style, but I would like to understand how others see it too.
Reading this is a bit sad.
Especially since Croteam had their own engine for a long time, and was very reliable and performed extremely well.
Here's to 30 more yearsSigil 2 pre-orders are up.

It's just the way it's presented, like you're supposed to care about all these concepts and misteries they throw at you without (imo) doing enough to get you invested first. And this game absolutely takes itself seriously.
It didn't affect my enjoyment though, the game is great. The destructible environments and physics combined with the art direction made the whole thing really compelling. It still looks quite good and thanks to the art direction it barely shows its age.
I still remember how the very first scenes with Ahti had me laughing, couldn't be more a waking Finnish stereotype, so no Control being a serious game was never my take on it. And as for the setting, it was just so weird that it got me hooked right away. But I can see how those things are pretty subjective
Played the intro missions of SpiderMan 2, it's fine but it's largely the same game as the last two. If you liked those, you'll like this one.
Star Ocean environments are REALLY nice, I dunno why they went with sprites for the characters and everything, I think it'd look better with some modest 3D models a la modern Trails or Ys games or even Square's own Trials of Mana. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sprites and even love games that use a blend of 3D environments and sprites like earlier Ys and Trails games and of course the 32bit games they look like, Grandia, Xenogears and such, but I believe the high quality environments here don't match as well as those games that have unfiltered pixel-art esque textures. It's fine still, I'm just saying...

Robocop is fun as hell
Yeah, it's a AAA sequel
The oneliners are so corny I love it. Just like Terminator the game breaths atmosphere. The music is so good. I would love to see what this studio could do with Judge Dredd, Alien or Total Recall. Too bad the performance of the game is so shitty.
They kept the original character sprites. Which looks pretty strange when blowing up technically flat 3D models with modern lighting... especially when it zooms in during cut scenes.
Odd decision.
I'd love them to do a Dredd game
It's been fine for me but I have a 4090 and a 5800x3D so that isn't much help, sorry
After fuming about the technical issues for a couple of hours, I read a suggestion on the Steam forums that resolved the issue. Apparently, the frame generation setting is bugged, so disabling it gets rid of the freezing issue.
Me: "I will just quickly check out Talos 2 and play it for real tomorrow and over the weekend"
