Does it? Let’s be honest, the biggest reason the movie succeeded was because Markiplier made it, one of the most popular gaming influencers. If it were a movie made by random people the internet doesn’t know, it probably wouldn’t have done too well. It’s like saying the FNAF movie proves people want more 5/10 horror movies.

I’m glad it worked out for him and I do want to see more indie movies, but this isn’t indicative of much.

Pretty disappointed that Duskbloods didn’t make an appearance. The direct was mostly more anime games and ports, I was hoping for more.

I feel like that goes against their whole message with Steam hardware though. The Steam Machine is advertised as a plug-and-play console alternative that needs zero effort on the user’s part, if they sell versions of it without components it would quickly start gaining notoriety for being for tinkerer’s and linux nerds instead of the average person.

I hate to break it to you but… It’s been over 20 years. It’s more retro now than the SNES was when the 360 came out.

Let’s not forget possibly the most iconic one, Dracula from Symphony of the Night

Seconding A Hat in Time. It’s probably the closest platformer to Mario Odyssey that isn’t Mario. The last DLC (Nyakuza Metro) is especially worth your time.

Weird choice considering its competitors (Overwatch/Marvel Rivals) both have Linux support.

Definitely worth waiting for reviews, but I’m sure they’ll come out soon.

FWIW all mtx will be cosmetics only, with the good news that there’s no restrictions on mods changing how you look. Their EULA also disallows any pay-to-win mtx in servers similar to Minecraft.

The lead dev backtracked on paid mods (at least for now), saying he’s looking into having quick access to donating instead. I wouldn’t say it’s anything near Roblox territory.

Their refund policy allows refunds if bought in less than 14 days and played less than 4 hours: https://support.hytale.com/hc/en-us/articles/45119888587163-Refund-Policy-and-Available-Payment-Methods

Yeah nobody in this thread went past the title, but that’s literally not what he said.

He actually said that demanding X remove AI features is gatekeeping since competitors get to keep them, which is still a dumb take but very very far from “Tim Sweeny loves child porn”…

Literally this meme again

Ehh, if you haven’t gotten into it this far then I’d suggest waiting until release. Deadlock is still incomplete and has such radical balance changes each update that it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Most of the people playing right now have been playing since early access started, so you’ll have a hard time finding players that are bad at it for now.

Good call on removing it. Playing as Ashley sounds cool on paper but the missions where you played as her were pretty boring. So much running and waiting for the enemy to slowly walk away for 30 seconds. Resident Evil isn’t known for its stealth missions.

“Somehow, Heihachi returned…”

The compatibility layer has had significant improvements, most apps work fine now not to mention Valve’s compatibility layer for ARM making games work. The Snapdragon laptops mostly flopped so you often see them on discount for $600 as opposed to the $1200+ they were introduced as. I think they have a good chance to be taken seriously.

Many people want to stay on Windows though. The problem with ARM windows laptops was the garbage marketing, overpriced laptops, and bad compatibility layer. That’s all been more or less fixed, so I think the next-gen ARM chips will be big.

Great game if someone hasn’t played it yet. It’s basically just a modern Castlevania Aria of Sorrow by the same lead dev, and it is a bit janky, but there’s a ton of content and a lot to love. I’m looking forward to the sequel.

Alright I know people rag on Epic all the time… but it’s truly incredible how hard they keep dropping the ball. It’s been SEVEN YEARS since it was created and it still feels so basic and terrible to use.

The store is drab and uses huge chunks of space just to advertise fortnite and f2p rewards. Discovery is terrible and the store is full of crypto scams and AI spam shovelware, which is ironic because Epic started off being very selective about what’s allowed to be published there. The store also feels like adware because it keeps spamming random notifications and ads unless you turn it off.

The best part is that Epic constantly blames users for not wanting to leave Steam instead of admitting their store sucks. They keep spending tens of millions buying exclusives and giving away games for free rather than spending any time improving the store. Seriously, what are they doing over there?

didn’t like aw so skipped aw2 until my library has a free copy

Alan Wake 2 has a DLC that ties in pretty heavily with Control, so you’ll definitely want to play that before the new game comes out.

Added Abandon Battle option in the pause menu which can now be opened in battle

Finally. No more waiting around to die to reset the fight when you mess up.
