Quicksilver6 posted:I believe you when you talk about the tech and demos, but I'm really struggling to think of what the last big thing was from them... SteamVR? The Steam Controller? Steam Link? It's all kind of hazy to me after Portal 2... Is there like new system architecture or game engine tools they've been doing? SteamVR, but you’re right, it’s dropped way down in rate over time. Still, valve ‘s role as influential gatekeeper means even their tech demos produce a wave of imitation and derivation .

I had a nightmare that I was trying to watch something on Netflix and the only categories were things like "sexy anime girls" and "big-titted anime girls" and poo poo like that. This is literally affecting me.

At first I was laughing like it was the funniest thing I'd seen in my life. But then I kept scrolling on and on and the desperation and terror set in.

My favorite "Steam Recommends" thing is when it is populated with games that you literally cannot buy. I've had it give me Alan Wake and the original State of Decay, which are two games that are not currently for sale on Steam.

In another official memo to their customers, Valve released this statement:quote:Trying is hard and doing things is boring, so gently caress it. I'm still gobsmacked at how dismissive that release is. The saddest part, though, is that we'll all still be using Steam for the foreseeable future, because it's still easier than the alternatives.

Bold move, I'm curious whether it'll win them more new players than they'll lose. I feel like most people not interested in the fanservice just play other fighting games anyway.

This was the only way Steam could stop me from marking their entire store "Not Interested" back before they opened the floodgates and let everything in. It still hasn't stopped me. I'm almost at 22k games "Not Interested" As a result my store page recommendations are usually all in Chinese, if the page shows anything at all.

There's not much competition in the realm of 3D fighters, so I think they're trying to focus on being mainstream competitive.

I barely even pay attention anymore, it's just some sick loving habit I've fallen into and can't get out of. Part of the morning routine.

Turning the distribution platform itself into a clicker game is certainly one way to attract a niche audience. Quick someone make a game about running a game distribution platform where you have to optimize participation incentives to hold a customer base and then put it on steam.

This is the same song and dace as 5; this is just another attempt to get the FGC behind it and make it an EVO game. They already admitted fetishy DLC is where the money is at, that's where they're putting it in to milk people

All I actually know about the DOA series is the fanservice - is it actually thought of as a technical fighter? I think the one gameplay thing I've ever heard about it is that it's really heavy on reversals.

I bought a DOA once, I think 2 for the PS2, because I enjoyed Tekken 3 and wanted to try some more 3D fighting games. I had more fun with the other 3D fighting game I got nobody ever talks about, Bloody Roar 3, which I hated because of the final boss who I swear was a dirty cheat. I don't think I even played DOA 2 enough to reach the final story mode boss.

DOA5 is good fun and the Triangle System is cool.

Tecmo could put the boob physics option in paid DLC, or make it involve an online check to discourage the pirates.
