PC Gaming Era | December 2018 - We got 99 problems, but 76 ain't one

I'll probably play through Below just out of curiosity. It's been in development for so long that I might as well check it out.
Even aside from the graphical bugs, the game itself is hella buggy, especially comparing it to JC3 on launch. Things like enemy vehicles not getting destroyed until you try to get in them, NPCs you are escorting (which normally is easy because they take very little damage) just randomly dying, I've had tethers just not actually tether properly, etc.
The controls are a bit of a cluster too. There's so many different things they need you to be able to do that a lot of functions are on the same key, just tap vs. hold, which leads to doing the wrong thing a lot because it doesn't seem to accurately detect the duration you push the key for a lot of the time (this is super obnoxious with reloading vs. switching weapons).
I mean, JC has always been the definition of a 7/10 game and I'm OK with that, and I think JC4 polished to JC3 level would be superior to 3, but right now it feels stupid to play it.
Jesus christ, that's absolutely terrifying. Messing with that type of shit will get Bethesda sued into the ground. GDPR when?
Unlike the reddit poster, all it takes is one wrong person to be given that sort of information. They will fuck up all those peoples lives for shits and giggles.
Probably just part of the Winter of Arcade thing Phil Spencer wil surely talk about at Doritos Awards
It is nice from THQ Nordic that they are funding games like this. But they really need to step up when polishing is in question. Their games really lack polish, especially those mid sized ones.
I guess not giving Valve 30% was worth in the end, those 30% will cover their fines and court costs XD
Say, would any of you fine chaps be able to explain why resolution calculators tell me the best option for bumping down from 2160p is 1728p? Supposedly it has something to do with "perfect" 16:9 dimensions and no half-pixel problems... but I have no idea what that means? I see lots of talk about 1800p especially on consoles before they upscale to 2160... so how come resolution calculators tell me to avoid 1800 and 1980p?
Sometimes my 1080ti struggles to render native 4K all the time so I've been using custom resolutions ranging from 1728p-1980p this whole time. Recently however with AAA games more and more shipping with resolution scale thingy, i was trying to figure out the percentage each of these resolutions is equivalent to and found that 1728p is the only one that equals out to an even percentage at 80% of 2160p.

Warren Spector needs to be calling up THQ Nordic for SS3 in case Starbreeze goes under. I need to see Sheldon Pacotti write a new video game.
I believe they should have delayed it past January and done a second beta. But hopefully there's incoming redesigns instead in the new year for the site.

Submit a ticket instead. https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPurchase -> Hunt: Showdown -> I have a question about this purchase. Some people encountered a similar issue when attempting to refund Sonic Mania due to having 2+ hours of "old" playtime accrued in the MegaDrive emulator.
If you enter the e-mail address or mobile number associated with the account instead, you should be able to get to a "Select the Steam Account you would like to update" page that should list the updated account name.

So unless I'm missing something, the main story path in Mutant Year Zero on hard has you fight level 5 enemies and then level 10 enemies. There is a side area you can do between that has level 5 enemies. And no way to grind. This seems...off? I haven't tried it yet but the only thing I can think of is to maybe try to draw the guys you can't ambush away and try to make a kill zone? Maybe grenade spam.
Without ways to level up, the idea of very hard sounds impossible.

You can skip a lot of encounters in Mutant Year Zero as well and come back. There is one in front a tunnel that feels like it is mandatory (and is the first real hard fight in the game) that you can sneak by with some patience. The encounters in the next couple areas are easier, and with the exp and possible gear/scrap you get from those you can go clean them up.
Basically most encounters should have at max like 4-5 enemies after ambushes (and 1 or 2 of those will probably be a fodder enemy or like a melee guy that you can plan so they don't get to damage you their first turn).

Is that the one where you climb up the boxes? That was the one that surprised me with the quick jump up in level.
Maybe? It has a medbot and shaman in it, the first time you fight both at the same time iirc.. It's doable provided you've explored / killed most doable combat encounters, but will still be tough.
I basically nuked the shaman 1st turn, kept CCing the medbot (the knockback shotgun you can find interrupts the mebdot's heals) and plinked away at the other mobs.
Though from what I recall at that point most mobs are around level 10 + so if you're struggling with level 10s still you might need to explore some of other areas as you should be equipped to deal with them
It's possible they think they have a built-in audience through Fortnite.
Targeting teenagers or even worse younger population than that, that has no disposable income or personal credit cards is wrong. Not to mention that it will be hard to sell 12 year old 5h long indie game for 20$ when all it previously played was free 1000h game.
Remind me of short indie games (emphasis on plulral) sold for 20ish? At least from 2018.
This is rather hyperbolic, don't you think? You could say that same of Steam. Come on.
It's a video game store. It's no more wrong than every other one out there.
Oh wow, we reached GameFAQs shitpost level. Over a digital storefront.
For example Fe, Unravel 2, Donut County, Far Lone Sails, Beat Saber... Their prices range from like 15-20$ and playtime are 2-5h.
I was just answering theoretically because majority of Fortnite players are teens. And if that is user base you are targeting primarily I think it is wrong for multiple reasons. At that age you don't know and honestly don't care about service you get and rights you have, you just want to play fun game with friends.
As I said I am talking theoretically if their goal is to target Fortnite players primarily.
So I got the early access of Katamari Damacy REROLL and my first impression isn't very good. The controls and camera are horribly outdated, looks like they didn't touch them at all. Wish they'd use something simple like Super Monkey Ball, now it feels like rocket science to move where you want to. Also the game starts in low res window mode with super loud audio and you can't change settings until you complete the tutorial, but that's hopefully just an early access thing.
How is Styx 2 in co-op mode? Looking to pick up the bundle but the game has pretty bad reviews.

It doesn't matter. Even if you pick 1080p the image will be blurry.
i think you're better off posting about games, and less with the analytical hot takes. those aren't doing you any favors.
its actually very good, but im not sure how feature complete it is. i'm not sure how progress for the 2nd player is logged, if the skill tree is preserved etc.
the core gameplay itself though? its really fun.
Dunno if vr games would count, but iirc donut county is $13-15 range, the origin games are fair examples. There is also megaman 11 now that i recall.
Far lone sails is $15 btw.
Beat Saber? 2-5 hours? It's a rhythm game. That's like assigning a playtime to a fighting game or a multiplayer shooter. How's the playtime on Fortnite by the way? Games like that have unlimited playtime counts or more accurately "play until you are tired of it, then revisit it later and play some more". I played every song one time in Beat Saver/Project Diva/Guitar Hero so I beat it, said no one ever.
I'm at 16 hours in Beat Saber and I haven't even played it that much.
Ummm

As part of their 1998 seminal games retrospective series, The Ringer has posted a fantastic long-form article about the development and impact of Starsiege Tribes. It's a must read!

Thanks a lot

The tag doesn't apply to people who've replied in the thread. Everyone else sees "You need to reply to this in order to see this content."
Ah, gotcha. Really it was just an excuse to post the gif!
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic.... (It's stuck in your head now, isn't it?)
Wouldn't this just cause people to quickly spam the forum with some bullshit post, to nab codes? It seems to set a strange incentive. I liked the rule with old modbot where it was "five posts in this thread or the one before".
Maybe by the time Era 3.0 rolls win, we will have the necessary forum technology for that ( together with flying cars and miniaturized jetpacks).

Seems street fighter 5 is getting a free weekend next week.
