Ok this is really cool and all, especially the dedicated game pages. But the amount of games without proper covers is... :weary-face:

And you just know TONS of older games won't be updated. So I kinda hope they add an option to let us go back to the old rectangular view? It would also save a ton of space...

Looks like 2k updated the Bioshock 1 (Classic) and Battleborn banners, they were both outdated a few hours ago. Hopefully more devs start following suit now that the library is public.

Lol. I don't get along with steam. Someone bought me skyrim for pc. I don't like it because even thought I had the disc in the computer and the computer shows it is on my computer it will not work at all without internet and connection to steam. I'm not really a tech person but it just makes me mad that I have a game that should be perfectly playable offline that will not work without internet and because it's always steam that blocks me I don't like steam. Lol. But I do still have my 360, and I play xiv on ps4 so I'll get it sorted.

At this point I think Atlus isnt intentionally crass, they're just ignorant. Not that it makes it any better, but at least it is not malicious. I think.

honestly after seeing Rin's whole route in english. Atlus definitely is trying to do better, but it comes off as super off and problematic at times. But I guess its an improvement?

Let me be gay in Persona 6 and THEN we'll talk atlus.

I think most of this, at least in the video, is Atlus US localization. They did say they were gonna make changes to this stuff after all.

I haven't seen the original JP version (trying to stay spoiler free on Catherine stuff until the day I finally play it lol), so maybe tales from my butt. I do remember the thread about this on Era though...

I'd love to be bi in P6 though. I'd also love P6 to come out on PC.

I wonder which is the more likely outcome? :notlikethisblob:

Nope. All this stuff is in the Japanese version as well. There was only 1 line of dialogue removed from the English localization. Full Body adds a ton of that juicy LGBT content babyee

After it comes to PC! :p I don't wanna reward these companies by double-dipping anymore. I'm so tired of late or non-existent PC ports. :weary-face:

... but well, I guess it helps that I've largely fallen out of hype cycles and haven't bought a game in months lol (just what I get from Humble monthly).

"Waiting" is the game I play most these days it seems. :face-with-cold-sweat:

I guess? I think everyones gonna have different opinions on it. Im gonna tag some major Rin route spoilers so read them if you want and decide for yourself I guess. I know major spoilers probably arent the most ideal way to sell a game but I feel like in this case its necessary to properly give people context on the LGBT themes in Full Body.

Rin is a male otokonoko (also an alien). They have a romantic interest in Vincent, but they don't bring it up until after Vincent finds out who Rin really is. (Also because Rin doesnt want to intrude on Vincent's relationship with Katherine.) Vincent pursues Rin despite this and at the end of the game they get married (Basically meaning Vincent is bisexual and Rin is LGBT as well but no word on if they're Bisexual,Pansexual or Gay.). In the same ending Erica announces she is pursuing a professional wresting career with Toby (In the original game, When Erica mentioned wanting to be a pro wrestler, she was mocked for "not being a real woman" but this exchange was removed from Full Body in both JP and EN). Everyone is happy for them and congratulates them. Its a really sweet ending.

Okay. Deadly Premonition now working with DPfix and a nice SweetFX profile.
Now I will live in constant fear while playing that game crashes and encounter some game-breaking bugs.

Did you do the thing that makes it use 4GB of RAM?
I think that made it take a bit longer to crash.

Is the Rockstar launcher okay? Since I think that is where I will be getting RDR2.

As for the eshop thing....... it's a race to the bottom it seems. In the last week or two I have mentioned a number of issues with the eShop and PSN (also guess what some one on era doesn't want comparisons between them and PC clients).

I did previously mention where if your game is not a top seller than it will not get noticed since the indies that Nintendo promotes are the ones that are selling really well. So if your game did not sell well at launch then its basically gone due to the limitations of how the eshop is set up.

I think some people have mentioned how they don't like how the Steam best sellers list is revenue based instead of being based of numbers of units sold. But if they did that than you potentially may see a lot more asset flips on Steam.


Sure you may get some promotion from Nintendo or something but then post release you don't get much exposure from Nintendo unless your game did really well.

Also you know that people will exploit that system and sell their games for very cheap.

Maybe Nintendo will do something?

Well it's late so see you all later

The new Steam library UI looks nice, hopefully some devs/pubs will update more of the images

The launcher starts fast, and is responsive. It looks okay, but I have not used it for a real objective like downloading and playing a game.

Thank you! The new library is cool but with half the games not having updated art it looks weird. These will do nicely.

I tried the update.

I quite like it. As someone who is a bit of a Luddite and generally resistant to change it seems like it will grow on me.

Whats the point though, its just a launcher :p

It's a Spike Chunsoft game, they haven't put any of their games on 3rd party resellers since Steins;Gate. Steam is the only place you can get it at the moment.
Up to 16x MSAA but Anisotropic Filtering is just a checkbox? :02think:

There's support for arbitrary resolution though. Theswweet will be pleased.

I'm also pleased.

And I guess AF is just 16x? Honestly, for games like this, on PC, that's probably enough. You can turn it off if you play it on your 4 year old laptop with integrated graphics, and turn it on everywhere else ;)

If it's anything like the previous Spike Chunsoft ports after they gave Abstraction the boot, the AA options don't really do anything.

That doesn't seem to be the case:

ai_thesomniumfiles_208vkq2.jpg

(Yeah, that's a 5120 x 2880 screenshot with 8xMSAA. Still runs at 100 FPS V-synced)

Sadly, it only plays nice with DSR if you change your desktop res. But given the MSAA actually appears to work it's not really necessary. Also no ultrawide support of course.

Batman is a huge game, they're not going to announce it on PC first on EGS using fortnite. Some sort of tie in with the 80th anniversary is far more likely.

Not ruling out WB selling out at some point assuming they haven't already. At this point I'm wondering if the multi-launcher moneyhatting games market or TV streaming will implode first due to greed. Whatever happens the competition for customers will be wild for a while then everyone will lose their purchases overnight. Google is probably already planning an exit strategy.
