Been thoroughly enjoying a Dragon Age Origins replay. Excited to finally get to the DLC I didn't do back in the day.
Brings back good memories of when Bioware made good games.

You know, I didn't even notice at the time but that is indeed odd. It is very West European medieval.I am fine with The Witcher Show but i still can't believe that they managed to remove everything Slavic related for the show. We couldn't even get damn music.
Books ae in a big part based on Slavic mythology, they are written by Slav after all XD And it was awesome seeing your culture being represented in some way in popular product (games) without being just another "Slavs are bad guys" trope. Then came Show and they basically removed everything Slavic from it.You know, I didn't even notice at the time but that is odd. It is very West European medieval.
I had to use the 3rd party patch to download an old version of Until You Fall because their 1.0 release added a high-pitched whine to your weapon being ready, among other crappy sound changes, and it made it painful to play with volume on at all. They finally patched the sound like ~5 months after release. If I hadn't been able to download an old version I just would not have been able to play a game I bought for 5 months (or ever, if they'd never fixed it - despite dozens of posts in the forums, tweets at them, etc. they ignored everything until I think I finally got an email through to them).Steam has, devs just has to use it. (which they almost never do).
Maybe now that they've set up the characters and Geralt can go about "questing" there will be more space for the mythology of those books.Books ae in a big part based on Slavic mythology, they are written by Slav after all XD And it was awesome seeing your culture being represented in some way in popular product (games) without being just another "Slavs are bad guys" trope.

It's more about feel of the show. Games feel Slavic. Oh well let's hope that Witcher 4 with Ciri won't take 10 years to make XDMaybe now that they've set up the characters and Geralt can go about "questing" there will be more space for the mythology of those books.
They will be using the next 6 years on Cyberpunk hotfixes.It's more about feel of the show. Games feel Slavic. Oh well let's hope that Witcher 4 with Ciri won't take 10 years to make XD
Maybe by then I will have finally upgraded my CPU to play itThey will be using the next 6 years on Cyberpunk hotfixes.
Given the game is out for over a year now, it's probably better to call them lukewarm-fixes at this point.They will be using the next 6 years on Cyberpunk hotfixes.
They have to announce a new expansion soon. Maybe Game Awards or something.Given the game is out for over a year now, it's probably better to call them lukewarm-fixes at this point.
Probably, I mean, why mentioning it at all if it's not something to be concerned from their side.[Hidden content]
Yeah, I get that the launch was a PR disaster for them but it's kinda nuts that we're closing in on a year post-launch and they still haven't even announced the DLC. They were supposed to announce it before launch so surely the original plan was for at least the first one to be out by now.They have to announce a new expansion soon. Maybe Game Awards or something.
W3 had 2 expansions in first year so they have to wtf.
It looks decent on smaller, hi-DPI screens like if you're playing the mobile version, but it's otherwise kind of eh.Hmm, is the crt shader of the FF Pixel Collection good ? it looks shitty in video.

Why, yes, I’m slowly beginning to think about what I will play on the Deck.
Congrats!Or you can be an old man that did a happy dance because he got accepted into a masters program for photography.
Sounds like lunacy to be honest. But I don't know enough about TPM to know.I got a question I wanna ask, since I know there's some people here with more involved tech expertise. Whenever there's discussion of Windows 11's TPM requirement, I always see one or two people saying it's part of some long-term scheme to lock purchases to devices and make other kinds of invasive anti piracy measurements possible. Is there any truth to that, or am I correct in thinking it's just outright lunacy?
It's true but I feel that things will improve shortly. Valve staff left a not so subtle hint that the Steam Deck chip is very relevant to Valve's future VR plans. I would bet money that an affordable Steam-based standalone VR kit is imminent.I feel like Valve is in such a bad position when it comes to VR. Like they clearly want to go high end but that isn't the way forward if they want to compete with the Quest and get mass market VR adoption. Valve is such a small company with 300ish people and not everyone working on VR while Facebook probably has thousands of people working on VR.
I think they know where to go now and as Parsnip said, it is to be expected to see a standalone a la Quest headset coming from their Amd partnership alongside Deck.I feel like Valve is in such a bad position when it comes to VR.

Of those JRPGs, I enjoyed Octopath Traveler the most. Not sure what 'The last Draque' is, though, and I really dislike the Tales of games despite my best efforts to try and enjoy them, so take my opinion for what it's worth.After finishing Psychonauts 2, I’m in full what to play next train of thought.
Control DLC, but I didn’t like Control and after the joy that was P2 it may feel like work/miserable.
Aragami 1 ? To be honest, after a couple of hours the game feels competent enough but easily skippable.
I’m toying with the idea of playing some weeb games, some JRPG. Some Tales ? The last Draque ? Maybe Octoopath ?
Any good JRPG you would suggest ?
I do like my Quest 2 but I use it a LOT less than I could for the singular reason of "don't like selling my soul to Facebook" A small and insignificant reason for sure but hey, thats just me.

The issue is that "imminent" by Valve standards could mean anything between a year or a decade.It's true but I feel that things will improve shortly.

Absolutely, but usually it's quite worth the wait.The issue is that "imminent" by Valve standards could mean anything between a year or a decade.
Just the weeb (or snobbish ?) way to say Dragon Quest. In my case it was mostly laziness and the fact that, for whatever reason, I can't remember the number of the last game. I blame a combo of 9 being DS and 10 being Online.Not sure what 'The last Draque' is, though,
I just played the first one myselfC-Dub Wait, you havent played Mass Effect!?
Stop there, you're good.I just played the first one myself
But the second one is one of the best games I've played !Stop there, you're good.
Stop there, you're good.
I've played it before on Xbox 360 - this is the remaster that released over the summer. I've also played FF7R on PS4 too. I've just rebought both games recently and now I can't decide which one I should play next.C-Dub Wait, you havent played Mass Effect!?
I'd say first knock out DDLC+ as a little palate cleanser from Deathloop. Nice and short. Then either double dose on anime with 7R or take a little from it break with ME (debatable how non-anime ME is though).I've played it before on Xbox 360 - this is the remaster that released over the summer.

It's been a while since I played it and this was a time when I barely know how to play video games, but I remember gears 1's whole gameplay loop is staying in cover > blindfire > pop out for headshots, I thought it was tough at first until I know to abuse blindfire which is actually really accurate.Next game: **Gears of War.
I remember not entirely getting along with it the last times I've played it, but let's try again.
My savegame is apparently at the tail end of act 2. The save leaves me at some kind of final stand defense against the enemies.
After a few attempts I remember why I never got along with the game...
Even on Casual difficulty I find it very difficult. You die in seconds if you are out of cover. And sometimes even if you are in cover.
The cover itself is sticky AF and sometimes weirdly placed. And most of the time you have no real idea of what the game wants you to focus on.
Enemies are everywhere but you can't proceed until you shoot this particular concrete block that doesn't seem react when you shoot at it.
You just have to continue shooting at it for longer than you might think.
Bleh. This game is definitely not for me. Personally, I find it hard to see how this game became so popular.
So, let's skip it and move on to the next game!
Gears of War 2!
I managed to get through the tutorial, then I ran out of time for this gaming session. But it felt a bit more smoother than GoW1.
Xanadu is more like Ys than Persona as it is an action game. I would recommend deciding if you are in the mood of turn-based or action-based game first so you can get rid of some choices.I'm still paralyzed about what to play. Let me add that I hate that every time I google 'best jrpg' or 'jrpg 2021' I only get fucking listicles and no actual journalistic content.
Candidates have evolved : Octopath Traveler / Dragon Quest XI S / Atelier Ryza / Tokyo Xanadu / Tales of Zestiria
Octo and DQ are on Game Pass so that's cool, and I had forgotten about Ryza but it always tempted me. I'm scared of Xanadu in that it feels like a mundane Falcom X Persona. And Zestiria is just there because I really want to play Arise but can't purchase it.
I played 1h or so of the 1st one and couldn't bring myself to play another minute. Am I in trouble? Are they gonna take away my gamer card?C-Dub Wait, you havent played Mass Effect!?
The fact they are bringing back the settlers and bg&e and it'll be stuck in eggstore and ubi non functional store hurts like a mf'er.[Hidden content]
