For some reason I was expecting Komodo to be at TGS, this year as well but that doesn't seem like it is happening. I'm guessing that their presence may be felt at the indie booths. They already did some of that for BitSummit earlier this year at Kyoto.
Drakengard's 20th anniversary is today in Japan we've got a few articles here and there and some fan-arts so far. If only Square-Enix could stop huffing the gacha glue for a bit...
SINoAlice is shutting down, and with it we lose a canon part of the Yoko Taro timeline to history. The current focus is NieR: Reincarnation, but that too will shutdown someday and we'll lose some more lore for the NieR/Drakengard Taroverse. So c'mon and give us a real game again already! While Yoko Taro still has some working years left in him.

It's mostly cosmetics (clothes, hair/beard styles, music for cantina...) but you can find skill points and perks also.
I have no idea what the game play is like for those games, but why doesn't SE just do an offline version? They already did a. Offline version of DQX, Capcom did an offline version of their Rocketman game
Playes a bit of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on GamePass, very funny.
AC VI patch out. Truly one of the patches of all time, entire notes below

For one, it actually costs some money to port it as an offline game, and SE never spends one cent on anything that wasn't started by one of the CEO cronies.
But secondly, and it's much more cynical, it has a negative effect on their other GaaS as some people would just "wait for them to be one and done transaction".
There's no reason for mobile games like these to make a one time offer instead of doubling down on MTX, that's nothing new. Nintendo saw the ridiculous amount of money their 9.99 games did compared to Fire Emblem gacha heroes.
I know people are complaining about how Starfield looks, the feel they were going for was like a retro photo and I do love it!
I like it too. My issues regarding looks are mostly technical. Like no shadows under vegetation, GI and AO are lacking in many cases and things like that. But that retro sepia look is fine to me.
ITS BEEN ALMOST 7 YEARS SINCE AUTOMATA!!!!!!!!
You know i fucking loved it, one of my favorite games of all time, but even i am getting sick of 2B fanart and cosplays.
It's about damn time for something new
Vivid Knight is currently on sale and a follow up game have been announced
I had a look at my screenshots and there are definitely shadows under foliage. Things like GI could always be better but there's always the tradeoff with performance that needs to be taken into account. For the most part the game looks fantastic.
Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 is having a good couple of days. Some dedicated person went and made a huge file documenting all the stuff that was cut out of the game.
Dying Light 2 Had 200+ Pages of Cut Content
It has been revealed by a community expert that Dying Light 2 had more than 200 pages of content cut from the game. Read about it here.

Presumably this is mostly Chris Avellone's work that they threw out in their attempt to ensure that what they shipped would never be mistaken for anything other than garbage.
And also they decided to add a new microtransaction currency called Dying Light points. Has any single player game ever added a premium currency 1.5 years after release? I can't think of any until now...
DL Points - a streamlined access to skin bundles
Pilgrims! Now we’re going to make getting skin bundles faster and easier.

Steam forum is not thrilled about this change, as you can imagine.
New Atlantis kinda lacks in foliage shadows department. And overall AO/GI around foliage.
so looking at that post bundles are being sold in 500 pts, 1100pts and so on. What’s the betting that each of these packs are not quite enough to get an equivalent skin. Ie 600pts, 1200pts. I dislike this in F2P games and I absolutely despise it in a premium priced game.I had a look at my screenshots and there are definitely shadows under foliage.

Well yeah, New Atlantis is much heavier than other places so I suppose they had to make more compromises there. Honestly I think the trees in that city look rather flat and ugly and I think the artists should have done something else there.
Another thing about ingame currencies is that they almost never have any regional pricing. So it's possible a $10 store DLC might cost $5 in a poorer country but when you go to ingame currencies 1000 points will always cost $10 for everyone. So in a way this is going to make DLC more expensive for people who need regional pricing.
Well they should give players option to turn on what they want. Modders will probably add some things but it would be nice that devs make their games bit more future proof.
If Valve would have another go at steam machines that are reasonably priced I would actually go for it! As much as I love my steam deck, played 110 hours of Baldurs gate 3 on it! But sometimes I just want to play on my screen and better performance.
This just seems weird to me, honestly. The issue with VR is that the hardware is expensive, few games support it, and only as a last point that it needs beefy PC. So if we also assume that Valve is planning to release a follow-up to the Index that costs far less while offering the same or better experience, then sure, that would help with the adoption of PC VR.
But a beefy Steam machine itself isnt' going to to anything for VR. People will just play normal 2D games on it.
Also linking to long Twitter threads (I assume there is one since he writes "tldlr" is pointless to anyone without a twitter account. Really wish people stopped using that website, but its userbase seems to be beyond hope.
A steam machine done right is the endgame for me
I’d never need another pc or possibly even console again
I’d never need another pc or possibly even console again
I quite enjoy building my PC, but I know loads of people who would love a turnkey PC experience.
For me, what I want is a good PC TV OS that supports whatever hardware you install it on. And that works with features like HDR and ray tracing.
I feel like a TV-centric Steam Machine would get us closer to that world.
It’d also give us a new Steam Controller, which I also want.
I suppose I'm a Steam fanboy, because no matter how much I criticize my Deck and see no need for a Steam PC, I would be interested;
But IDGAF about VR though, so yeah, I suppose it's not for me.
But IDGAF about VR though, so yeah, I suppose it's not for me.
I wouldn’t even know how to do that. Does doing that even work on iOS, Mac and iPadOS?
“Just use xyz…” is always a loaded phrase full of assumptions about people’s technical skills, or even if it’s possible on their own hardware.
Alternatively people could stop posting Tweets, or when they do, provide context for them instead of making their entire post consist of content from another site.
I mean it's just a browser extension, which in turn means it won't work in iOS.
But if you change the URL from twitter.com to nitter.net it should also work. (That's mostly why I don't have problem recommending nitter, since you just need to change the URL, until twitter brakes it again)
And people won't stop posting tweets, until something replaces it so.

I guess that works again? Gave that a try some months ago and it was dead.
Mind you, my post wasn't directed at you, I meant more generally that people should switch to Threads or more preferably Mastodon. Twitter is fast becoming a literal nazi-infested site which is also controlled by a open fascist. Even Threads seems like a sane alternative. But its addicted user-base does not seem to care what assholes they directly support with their behaviour.
Both steamdb and augmented steam browser extensions have had this option for a while, but it's great that they added this to the client. Kind of weird though that they limit the functionality to the global comparison.Never knew this was a thing. You can click hidden achievements to see what they are.
Finished my BG3 100% run. My new favourite game of all time.
I won't play a game as good as this for a long while.

Steam Machine 1.0 failed cause Valve left it all to third party hardware makers..
Steam Deck is Portable Steam Machine 2.0
If Galileo is a VR ready Desktop Steam machine 2.0 it would make perfect sense.

Pretty lengthy list of changes. Nerfs to early game bosses, buffs to lots of early game equipment.
No PvP focused changes either, which is good IMO.
It also had pretty much zero software, WINE was not mature enough to run games so you could only run native ones on SteamOS 1.0. Getting a Windows game running was nothing short of a miracle and a complete hassle, let alone on day 1.. DXVK and VKD3D didn't excist. AMDGPU was just out and nowhere near the support it has today. Heck you would generally run Nvidia because those drivers were actually functional compared to whatever AMD was doing.

they have no idea what they are doing.
The idea of a complete device ecosystem (VR, desktop/TV, handheld) that is console-like in its ease of use and PC-like in its openness is very appealing. I really want to know more about Galileo/Deckard.
Still holding for the vague hope of them delivering on the Gothic remake. The recent video the team released captured the atmosphere of the old camp really well.
Of course, with Embracer being in a bad financial state, who knows what will happen
I was waiting for the end of the year sales, BF mostly, to shop for parts for an upgrade so these news couldn't come at a better time. Depending on specs and price I can see this being my new desktop machine, if it's good enough for VR I'm sure is good enough for most games and perhaps even a bit future proof. Plus the Deck showed us that Linux systems with proper configuration and compatibility are capable machines.
I'll remain cautiously vigilant to see what surprises they're going to show us.

sun is nvidia-exclusive
To me, the biggest draw is how all those devices would work together seamlessly. TV, handheld and desktop gaming all working off the same library, with saves hopping between all of them, is the dream.
not until ALL those devs stop ignoring steam cloud
