Thanks for those summaries. Will probably try like ODST (I think that releases at 5€?).
And regarding knowledge of Halo. Can only go by my own experiences and talking with people from across Europe. Never met a single person that has played Halo. And while I know of the PC version of Halo CE, at that point in time games like UT, Quake3 and CS1.6 reigned supreme in all the communities I was part of.
Aside from (possibly) Halo CE this is the first time in history for me that Halo is even accessible to me, so I'm definitely interested in playing the series. And I assume there are a lot of people that are in a similar situation as me.
Yup, Ashen and Hades are out next week. Very curious to see how they'll perform.
I feel Hades will do alright - Ashen, not so much. Ashen is a $40 title - yet I'd be surprised to see it do numbers like Remnant.
Ashen is doing the smart thing and releasing a (apparently) substantial DLC soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if that generates a wee bit of buzz. EDIT - i'm stupid, the DLC came out in September. Looking it up, i see the game is coming for PS4 and GOG too though.
I'm curious what Hades will do (aside from claim to be 1.0).
And yeah, I'm curious too. My heart wants them to have a decent burst at launch, but my head says that there's a weird zeitgeist around first launches that can't be replicated unless your game is truly exceptional (like Dark Souls or whatever).
Both games would have sold well because of original hype around them IF they had released on Steam originally. Now that they've been on EGS for a while, most people know both games are decent but not must-buys.
Tbf I only played Ashen once, got legit bored. Hades looks like fun but was only watching my friend play.

Yeah same. Hades hasn't even hit 1.0 yet which it'll definitely get a big boost from as well.
Depends on which reviews you're referring to. It's got an 82 on metacritic. Player reception was probably more negative as it's clearly going for the Souls crowd and that audience is harsh on games that don't measure up.
That said, I thought the game was good (but I'm hella biased, as we've had a bunch of contact with the Ashen team as they were another of Microsoft's promoted indies).
welp RIP
Has anyone started playing Rayman Legends recently (EGS freebie)? For some reason, my Uplay achievements don't seem to be syncing. I'm also getting some odd placeholder error messages in-game. Just wondering if this was something on my end or a more widespread thing.
do you need EGS to launch the game? im assuming its added to your uplay account and thats the end of that.
I think Ashen and Hades sales on Steam will depend on the price. Im not interested in paying full price for them when this month ive already bough Halo, Disco Elysium and a few others in the sale (and will be getting RDR2). Those games are now competing with everything else. Ive waited a year, i can wait another.
I'm not really sure, I launch everything through GOG. I know the Uplay overlay is active and I'm almost certain I was seeing the Uplay achievement popups.
I'm just glad to finally be rid of that awful motion blurring. I loved the game back in the day, but trying to return to it has been a pain for my eyes. Glad to finally have it in a form that looks great (and feels better due to the higher framerate).
Agreed, finally being able to play Halo games at 60 FPS is so good. Sadly don't think I'll be able to go back to MCC on my Xbox from now on
Is this the first paid DLC for Dead Cells? I know they've added a good chunk of stuff for free already.
Picked up Reach on Steam, preventing the Gamepass Cannibalization™. Time to test if the achievements sync.
Yeah, should be the latest FS19 up there, but FS17 is no slouch at all.
Fantastic vehicle sim series either way.
I guess this is a good time as any to try out Farming Sim.
That's cool.
FS franchise is still quite popular even if it's not for you.
It sells in the millions and has one of the biggest mod communities in PC gaming.
Never did try Pathfinder Kingmaker in the end. Was kind off put off by the supposed lack of tutorials and the fact it was coming across as quite difficult for people who didn't know the Pathfinde system.
Maybe tempted to try it if it is in the Christmas sale.
Anybody able to say if it had got a little more friendly after patching?

My plan is to pick up Ashen, Pine, and Decay of Logos in GOG's Winter sale and then do a comparison.
im pretty sure most people (including myself) were saying there was no evidence that it was cancelled or that valve itself stopped its production
there is still no evidence of that, in fact we have the opposite
it being on hold while they work on other stuff is what most people interpreted that news as while some people went around yelling about how valve hired campo and then cancelled the game just to get chris remo to be their coffee boy or something
Going to try Pathologic 2 and My friend pedro. Thanks microsoft :)
I was kinda disappointed Planetfall wasn't included in the PC version at first. Patience pays off :)
