Community MetaSteam | September 2021 - Welcome to Punxsutawney

[toxicitizen]

Uncharted 1 has aged like milk and the other ones IMO are not worth replaying at $60 given that there are superior TPS now.

I mean, there were superior TPS back then too. They were never great shooters lol. What they excel at is the presentation and the action set-pieces.

I'd be down to replay the series eventually and 60$ for the entire thing isn't too big of an ask for me but I'd still probably wait for a sale anyway. Ideally, I'd just grab Lost Legacy by itself at launch since that's the only one I haven't played.

Many thanks for the thread, lashman

I'm super excited but trying not to set expectations too high for the Outer Wilds DLC. Still one of my favorite games of all time and happy to go enjoy more of the same, hopefully.

I backed GameDec and have been just generally hoping it'll turn out fine. I really just want more, good, mystery games (thus the love for Outer Wilds).

Lake, Webbed, SkateBirb, and Sable are all on my waitlist but not sure which I'll end up feeling like playing immediately.

 

[Le Pertti]

Thank you lashman !

the summer is over, why did it go over so fast!? Also Paris had like only two weeks of nice weather. didn’t even get a tan!

 

[Kvik]

BitSummit page is up

My picks.







Jack Move and No Place for Bravery just got a demo too! I'm keen to try it out.

 

[PC-tan]

Uncharted 1 is still very much playable but I do have to agree with others about how overall it's not that amazing compared to 2 or 3 but it's nice to see where the series started. Type of thing.

 

[FunnyJay]

Thanks for the thread lashman !

BTW maybe Mona should be added to the giveaway info in the OP?

 

[thekeats1999]

Great thread as always lashman .

Is Webbed based on an old mobile game? I seem to remember playing it a few years back, like pre lockdown. It looks an awful lot like it.

if it is I remember it being a fun little game.

saw this floating online not sure if fake or not but it's well made

Pretty good fake to be honest. I almost believed it.

Oh, and great thread as always Lashman.

 

[Kiru]

The Deathloop Banner... lol

[Kurt Russell]

[Tizoc]

The fact that the banner doesnt even show Colt is a major failure that needs to be rectified.

 

[Hektor]

So the Marvel XCOM isn't actually XCOM, it's a card based game?

This makes the fact that we get this instead of XCOM3 even more disappointing...
on the other hand, i do love card based videogames...

 

[Mivey]

Great OP, lashman. Lot of great games releasing this month, again. I wonder if El Shaddai will release this month. Wasn't that already featured in a previous Meta OP?

 

[Joe Spangle]

Thanks for the thread lashman
good work as always

Up for Webbed, it looks really fun and cute.

Seems fake to me, would be an awesome collection. It also seems way too generous of Sony when they can milk the sales. (Also I'm not sure this is the next Sony game releasing).

 

[Nabs]

Toem had a nice demo. The black and white color palette might get old... but should be cool to play over a weekend.

 

[MomoVideo]

There is a new Momodora game being made! It's called Momodora Moolit Farewell.

Nice, I really enjoyed Reverie under the moonlight. I'm glad it's made with pixel art, because their latest game, Minoria, had a different style which I was not a fan of.

• NO ANIME / J-ROCK / POP.

Was this always a thing?

Nothing to add, too many games, when I finish reading the OT I have already forgotten most of it. Game overload.

Koei just confirmed a new unannounced game for TGS

 

[Stevey]

Thanks again lashman
September already- soon be autumn

 

[Cacher]

Regarding the anniversary musical stage, when other titles use their original logos, there is a completely new logo for Sakura Wars 25th Anniversary....

This probably means nothing but at least SEGA is cooking up something.

It's japan, the "weird" is always implied.

[AHA-Lambda]

New thread! Thanks lashman

[Li Kao]

Meh, I tried to make a funny and googled 'underwear dance anime'.
Not only the results were underwhelming as fuck but I'm probably on a list now.

See more

Well, hello list !

 

[Stone Ocean]

It could be from anyone who would have merged these two images.

If it were a true visual, then I believe that Nathan Drake would have been stylized.

Indie games make up 40% of all units sold on Steam | Video Game Insights

This article looks at how important indie games are to the Steam ecosystem. Indie games account for over 95% of all games on Steam, but only about 40% of sales.

vginsights.com

tl;dr:

• Vast majority of Steam games are indie games (96%), but not all of them are shovelware. There are tens of thousands of well crafted indie games on Steam.
• Indie segment of the PC game development market is large – 40% of units sold and almost 30% of revenue.
• Even though indies sell 40% of the games on Steam, they only have 30% of the active user base. Large studios still entice people to play for longer (no wonder, given the large open world RPGs and popular MMOs where people spend 100s if not 1,000s of hours)
