Hi, just a few things I would like to say before we start this thread.

This is still the same home and people you have come to known over the years and I think many of you would still like to keep it that way. I think for the benefit of the thread and the community around it is that we don't bring up the previous issue to help this thread prosper.

While I personally don't agree with what is going on and what discussions I've had with had with people and admin team meant that this was our only choice on the table left. It it was dealt by Steam Mods and Discord Mods who I still feel are trying to help and have been really supportive. It's a bit of a slap in the face and feels bit like déjà vu right now but I know Steam and all the rest of you will help us in this thread.

I think that's all, really, lets just carry on as normal and see what happens.


All the best.

MRORANGE

Battletech
- QFNS
The year is 3025, and you are a mercenary commander taking contracts around the periphery of the Inner Sphere. Gameplay is XCOM-like, turn based combat with an emphasis on destruction and heat management (those lasers get quite hot, you know). The outside of combat simulation is funded by your successes or failures in mission, so you better take down that sweet mech strategically if you want to salvage it to pay your repair bills or buy time to heal your pilots. Mech customization is available and parts can be bought or salvaged from missions. There is PvP multiplayer for those who want to try their skills against human opponents and an open-ended single player campaign allowing you to run your merc outfit for as long as you desire. Good luck, commander!



Extinction - MRORNAGE
Extinction is a game developed by the same team who bough us the new Killer Instinct. The game premises as you as a Sentinel who is tasked to stop the Ravenii - the 150ft misters who have now returned to terrorise mankind, using your range of skills you must defeat the monsters that are now destroying your world. It's basically Devil May Cry meets Attack of Titan.

Satellite Reign
- FunktionJCB
Satellite Reign is a real-time strategy game, with RPG elements, set in an open-world cyberpunk setting. A "spiritual successor" to the Syndicate series, it takes the old formula of the classic series, and places it into a big, open world map, where you navigate through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, using force or stealth, with the objective of taking down a ruthless mega-corporation.

Take down targets, steal powerful weapons and equipment (or buy them in the black market), sabotage the city's surveillance systems, all in order to weaken your enemy, and help you reach your final goal… or not. It's your choice.

The game was developed by a small Australian team, 5 Lives Studios, lead by Mike Diskett, one of the founders of Mucky Foot Productions (Startopia, Urban Chaos), and a former programmer and producer at Bullfrog Productions, where he worked on titles such as Syndicate Wars, Theme Park, and other now classic games.

The SteamERA Community was founded on Discord on October 2017, a stranded bunch of SteamGAF who united together and embraced on what we thought was the end of times. However as more people joined we found hope and soon started to formulate and plan for the future. This thread would not be possible without the community we have on Discord and I encourage all of you to join if you have not.

You can join this amazing community on Discord with this hidden link that you need to quote:

Sweet, thread lives again.

There's some more DLC for Stellaris incoming, this time focusing on exploration. Here's the reveal trailer.



Behind Closed Doors: Discover hidden traces of an ancient gateway network unlocking a sealed path to a constellation outside our own galaxy. But is this door holding something out, or keeping something in?

Sensors are Picking up… That Can't be Right: Encounter dozens of new anomalies and events for your intrepid scientists to observe and analyze, and a galaxy of wonders for them to discover.

Brave New Worlds: Plot unexplored unique solar systems, each with their own story to tell. Gain technology, resources, and valuable worlds to colonize.

There's Always a Bigger Fish: Come face to face with a number of unique gargantuan creatures that exist and thrive in the vacuum of space. But approach with caution, because whether gentle giants or something more sinister, these legendary behemoths have existed long before you and will do what it takes to survive long after.

Wonder if NISA will fix Ys VIII by the end of May. They have been very eager when it comes to patching it.

Also, sorry to see you step down from making threads, MRORANGE. Always appreciated how well your OPs and all graphics in them were designed, and how you tried to liven up the thread (with game of the month and other things).

Just to inform people who posted in Steam threads that all discussion about this thread went outside Era and through middlemans. Decision to rename thread was apparently made based on the discussion on Discord in the middle of the last night with few people.

Second thing is that some of the more active posters got final warnings for discussing moderation (they went through post history) and that was after we got message that admins/mods are listening and want to do better.

I am telling you this because I consider it unacceptable to discuss future of this community outside this forum. If I wasn't pointed toward discussion happening on Discord tonight I wouldn't have a clue.

I wasn't even an active poster in the thread and I got warned.

EDIT: warning was reversed lmao

When are new NVIDIA cards going to be announced? I'm ready to build a new PC but I'm going to wait for the next round of GPUs.

Current consensus best guess is in July, although whether they actually launch in July instead of just being revealed is anyone's guess. I would think they'll be out by august at least.

Wait, what does this even mean? The old Steam thread was already pretty much the de facto general PC gaming thread. Non-steam topics such as Uplay, Blizzard, etc. were discussed fairly regularly. So, I'm kinda confused as to what changing the name of the thread is actually meant to accomplish.

Battletech mixed on Steam reviews, seems mostly because of performance issues tho?

It reminds me a lot of how XCOM 2 was when it launched. Weird hitching & frame drops, stuff like that. I played for 3 hours straight with no issues, then the next time I booted I just got stuck at a loading screen for 5 minutes before quitting.

Hey, nobody asked for this, and I thank our precious overlords deeply in their magnanimous decision in railroading us into this thread, but I love PC-98 music guys. It's relevant in a PC gaming thread, right?





Post more if you like PC-98 music too!

Wait. You have plenty of ram and your CPU isn't limiting your GPU. If you want to upgrade that CPU though, you'll need to change your ram and motherboard. So you better wait until next gen.

Frankly, I wouldn't upgrade anything. But you need to upgrade CPU, Memory & MB at same time. No upgrade paths beyond that.

Just wait for intel's new line imo. You're setup is still way better then current consoles and will run anything.

STEAM | May 2018 - The only thread to get a 24 hour ban / edit! Permaban.

I don't understand what's going on. We didn't get any input in this at all, and we're somehow supposed to be okay with how things are going. I still don't get why any of this happened here in the first place.

I was tinkering with the game a little bit before this thread come about, but I was struggling to trigger my Gsync, even after using the exclusive fullscreen flag. Using flip mode with SpecialK just resulted in black screen/flickering so I haven't even started the game proper :-/
