Lmao are all FF games just characters putting on terrible, obviously fake cartoon voices?

An interesting thing about the FFXV dub is that they did it in story order, and the actors started out imitating the tone and cadence of the Japanese actors, which resulted in this exaggerated portrayal, but over time they settled into the characters and became more naturalistic.

Or how about the infamous Capcom PC port trilogy: Devil May Cry 3, Onimusha 3 and Resident Evil 4. You know, the old version of RE4 on PC, the one that had no graphic settings and featured no lighting effects.

Oof, haven't tried those.

And like, some games need controllers, the control scheme just works better that way. Yakuza for example. But hot holy drat, some of these console->PC ports are just... I get that PC isn't a huge console in Japan, so to speak, but also christ. :rant:

Can anyone who is into deep Doom lore explain why are all the demons fighting each other in Eternal? Also, it kinda seems like it's just a background sort of fight - can they actually kill each other if you don't interfere?

I haven't had a chance to dig into Eternal yet, but monster infighting was in the original Doom.

Yakuza 0 gave me a warning I should play it with a controller, but I still was amazed that they did nothing with the prompts in the karaoke mini-game. About halfway through my first song I figured out two of the buttons. The karaoke mascot in the top-right looked like it was having a stroke.

I've created a category on Steam for games I won't play until that new Xbox controller is released. It'll replace my wireless 360 controller, which I think died of old age.

Only tangentially related to DOOM: is there a good thing to use still for idling your games for card drops? I haven't payed any attention to cards really since they were worth some decent amount of nickels and dimes, beyond just selling a booster pack when I get it and occasionally making a badge (listen I needed that Katamari's King of All Cosmos background alright)

Augmented Steam is telling me I got enough drops to offset like half the cost of the new DOOM though. How do I most efficiently get these Steam bux pennies?

If you told me five years ago that iD, makers of fine accounting software RAGE, were not only going to redefine what I wanted from a single-player shooter experience, they were going to do it twice, I would not simply have called you an idiot. I would have pronounced you King Hellfucker Idiot Prime and sung your praises high and low.

And yet here we are.

Play DOOM Eternal.

I'm not ready to play either new Doom or Doom Eternal, but I cannot express how happy I am that they're both great games. Doom as a franchise deserves great games, it's just so wholesome and iconic.

Anyways Rain World is currently 4$. I know Audish didn't care for it, but it's still one of the best metroidvania/platformer/THINGS out there, as it nails atmosphere and feeling like you're an alien creature in an alien world.

Honestly it is my favorite platformer ever and I am old enough to have been at it since the Nintendo. To be fair it is primarily an exploration game in a world that has an enormous attention to detail.

The way Steam injects overlays over Vulkan games causes a nasty conflict in IdTech7 that stalls the GPU and ruins performance.

Some people are having their FPS cut in half just from having the Steam FPS counter on.

yeah, steam FPS apparently tries to serialize the info for its injection so it ruins the vulkan approach.

Yes. It has a a lot of graphs and metrics for the CPU and rendertimes too which is pretty neat.

I'm actually surprised how much I was enjoying Doom Eternal last night. By the end of Doom 2016 I was more than the ready for it to be over and just pushed through to be completionist and Eternal didn't look different enough. However: it is actually really fun and so far I'm not feeling the repetitive monster arena vibe 2016 had by the end. The heavy cannon is so fun to use.

I do have two complaints. I have no idea wtf is with the purple crap that makes you walk slowly. It seems like such a weird choice to force you to slowly walk through some sections. The ambush tentacles aren't that interesting after it happens a dozen times.

I just hit a really annoying section with excessive plaforming. I thought the platforming was a clever way to do level exploration in 2016 but this section in Eternal was a lengthy series of required jumps to complete the level and if you screwed up you had to start over. We're talking disappearing platforms and jumps that needed full use of dash and double jump and the in-air jump reset item. Its just not fun and killed the pace. I like the crazy jumps I've had to do for secrets but I hope this doesn't become common on the critical path.

i hope that's true about doom eternal abandoning the "straight line->closed arena->straight line->closed arena" level design because that was the back half of 2016 and it sucked

mostly though i am more into games with actual doom-style level design, where it's small but dense with keycards and backtracking. which is why i liked project warlock. so i'll probably look into Amid Evil and Dusk soon. (while avoiding Ion Fury)

a modern run & gun FPS with OG doom style level design would be sick as hell

It should be on the upper right hand corner of your Badges page. You might need to hit "Click here to calculate drops remaining" (also provided Aug steam isnt overloaded at the moment)

If you're replaying a Doom Eternal campaign mission to 100% it, can you quit once you've collected everything you missed or do you have to play it all the way through again?

No worries, I'm not monster. I actually use the offline function and invisible mode pretty often anyway.

That being said, do people really not turn that setting off? Or not know how to? I mean I love ya goons but like 98% of my "friends" list is just online incidental interactions, I don't need to know every time someone opens up their anime boob dating sim.
