PC Gaming ERA | February 2020 - Tonight, imma fight, till my combo comes out right
- Thread starter Uzzy

- Status
There's like 50 games being released every day. Plus reviewers are still trying to work through the backlog that's accumulated over the past year.
They can't just drop everything to focus on Wolcen, especially when they've got soulless PR reps breathing down their necks all the damn time.
In case of Wolcen reviews Gamestar (biggest german gaming site) actually put up a review, that was later withdrawn by the dev because the copy they got was from a preview built (despite them sending it out specificially as a review copy with an embargo for February 12th).
The reviewable build was actually only complete on release day so it's only logical there aren't any reviews out yet.
You can read about it here if you know german:

So in this case it's more of a fuckup from the dev/PR than a "Professionial reviewers only care about AAA-console games!".

Well hopefully there are some new games there, the bundles before have stayed mostly the same.
if only that's where that game's problems stopped lol. that was ages ago, shit is literally on fire and it's a huge bummer but what u gonna do.
Finally finished MassEffect 3 with all the dlc. I turned everyone green.
Interesting playing a game of that age right after something like Outer worlds. No fast travel, huge ship with a dumb scanner thing you have to go through constantly, takes ages to do a lap and talk to the crew, a journal that's not as useful as it could be, etc etc.
Glad to have finally played the last game of a franchise I've enjoyed, but would probably have enjoyed it more if I'd played right after the dlc and extended cut came out rather than all these years later.

GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
Originally released in 1999 as a new generation in the highly popular FATAL FURY Series
GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES on Steam
“GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES”, the latest entry in the legendary "FATAL FURY" Series which still continues to fascinate players around the world to this day, returns for a new fight on Steam!
Why the Steam version is 2 expensive?
Probably a good thing I waited on Wolcen after all with the reviews complaining about it being unpolished, released early, and server issues. Cements my decision to wait for a sale.
Anyone use Steam Link app here? I can't for the life of me figure out why my framerate drops so much when trying to play a game through Steam Link app on Apple TV and it's driving me nuts. My GPU usage just tanks and so does my frames.
MHW playing at 1440p on the PC I'll average around 80-100fps, but as soon as I try to stream via Steam Link at 1440p, 1080p, 720p the GPU usage drops and even at the loading screen my fps drops to like 47-48. Ive tried like every combination of settings via Steam, nothing improves it.
My setup...
PC: 8700/RTX 2080/NVME SSD's, 16GB RAM
Monitor: LG 1440p 144hz Gsync Compatible
TV: LG C9
Steam Link Device: Apple 4KTV

Teggy seems that there is something that was discovered in Heavens Vault regarding Renba:
www.reddit.com
So it seems he survived the fire but was found dead on a place with a hopper. I guess he jumped into a place without atmosphere and died? Probably found a way to use the telescopes to hop around and used that to escape that island where the king was and ended up dying on a shipwreath. Or he had a second ship that he managed to break.

It got me craving that game type so I just went through my backlog. Turns out I never actually played Path of Exile so I'm getting into that instead.
Something about POE I just could not get into. Maybe I will try again when it relaunches in 2.0.
I have heard great things about Grim Dawn though.

But then, how did the first ship crash if he wasn't in there? Especially since the crash has happened not long before you reach the place? Did he teleport from inside the ship for some reason, but ended up teleporting to a random shipwreck instead of a livable space?

well that's super weird
I dont think the first ship crashed, but he rather burned the ship up to bring the King back to the Loop. Now on why he would appear on a random place with a hopper? No idea. He might have jumped to a wrong place or was forced to jump and died due to lack of atmosphere.
Don't think that was necessarily an online character. Offline characters can get deleted randomly according to something I read earlier.
Didn't we have a Noctis skin in Assassins Creed Origins or something?
I heard that character deletion also happens in offline mode. The game is a mess and I kinda saw it coming when they announced the full release date.

It's also on sale in GOG too.
The GOG version got also the net code update, right?
Yes, it's the same as the Steam version, but drm-free. In fact I don't understand the price difference, the best price for the game was 5€ from Fanatical last week, on GOG it costs less than 2€.
The pace of the first few chapters of Yakuza is indeed rather slow. IIRC the game start opens up when you reach Chapter 4 and there's a mod that allows you to save anywhere, except in certain specific parts of the game. Not sure if the mod's still working though.
While there is a save "deletion" bug, it's not a random thing, AFAIK. Crytek, in all its infinite wisdom, didn't think to account for special characters when designing CryEngine's save system, so if your Windows username is, say, káfiend, CryEngine games won't be able to save data in C:\Users\káfiend\Saved Games. Prey17 had the exact same issue at launch, which lead the false assumption that also having Prey06 installed would break the game (the two do install to the same directory, but they have completely different file/folder structures, so neither actually interferes with the other).
IIRC, Arkane patched the oversight very quickly, so I assume it's an easy thing to fix.

The combat system gets better as you put more and more points into ridiculous combos and skills. That's the core of it. I never found it satisfying at the combat level but it does get better as you spend money. The story is good but don't rush it. I did that and it wasn't as satisfying, I missed a bunch of the side-quests.
I bit as soon as i saw the price. I have a 8bitdo Gbros adapter to use my Wii Classic Controller and SNES mini controllers with it, being both perfect for Neo Geo fighters, and I'm in the mood for some SNK online fighting even if I get mercilessly trampled.
That's some stupidly good price for Garou
There's no crossplay between the GOG and Steam versions of Garou, so keep that in mind if you plan to play it online.
i recall a save anywhere mod. as long as you don't use it during cutscenes, you'll be golden.
Fuck, I though it would.
Oh well, I still got Garou on PC for less than 2 €
You can edit some file to have safe anywhere if you edit some file.
Everyone who says the Yakuza combat system is bad is a bad person.
Idk when the Realty missions open up but I'd still recommend you do them as soon as you can access them. If Im not wrong, you can complete the whole thing as soon as you get access to the missions but the proper thing to do would be to juggle them along with the main story and side quests so that you get a better variety of gameplay.
Kiryu's grappler style is an absolute beast late game and boxer style makes you nearly untouchable with just a few upgrades.
The combat system is not bad. It's just that the combat is.....boring. So many repeated fights, against the same kind of dull enemies, in those boring streets that look so much the same everywhere.
The fun parts of Yakuza 0 are great, but there's just so much dull padding.
It occurs to me that it's time to ask for recommendations for next month! Not much out next month.

I don't see myself ever using VR (and also the hardware is pretty expensive in my country) so I'll just watch a playthrough on YT for HL.
They removed the thing you could change to save anywhere. It also had a chance of breaking your save files if you saved somewhere you shouldn't.
