no one pointed out that they died to fire on a game where you are underwater 99% of the time (unless it was one of those volcanoes, then its fine)

Sinteres posted:Cyberpunk got delayed again, to November 19th, so there's another reason I'm waiting impatiently for that month to roll around. I guess this means I can push back the GPU upgrade I was planning on. I just wish they would release some recommended specs. Surely they know what those are by now.

This bundle seems decent: https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-r-p-g-bundle I was gonna get Unexplored, Hard West and Age of Decadence. Is anything else on that list worth checking out? I already own Rebel Galaxy but never got around to it

ULTRAKILL is good. Try it. MANKIND IS DEAD BLOOD IS FUEL HELL IS FULL I'm interested in Haven. It's Game Bakers's (Makers of Furi) next project. Vastly different game, it looks like you play as a couple madly in love, but on the run. Crash landed and stranded in a strange world, you have to figure out how to survive and figure out a way to your ship online. Looks little bit like a linear visual novel with some turn based combat. Also the Music is by Danger. Which is loving great stuff. While we're at it. If you haven't already. Play Furi. Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jun 18, 2020 |

Exo One is about being a flying ball on an alien planet. And...er...something about a Jupiter mission gone wrong? And a Stargate? And er...sad music.

It's pretty, but I feel like I got more direction and saw more interesting scenery in Mirrormoon EP and that's not a comparison you want to be on the wrong end of. Still; early days, and maybe it just doesn't demo well.

I feel like these kind of exploration games should be pretty easy to demo because they are all your hopefully fun movement mechanic and aesthetic there is nothing you really have to hold back aside from story content so if you can't keep somebody interested for a half hour demo you're in real trouble Edit:Oh it didn't actually let me do anything but the tutorial and then cut to a teaser video, I guess that is one way to screw this up.

WEST OF DEAD is a fun little twin-stick roguelike with a really cool cel shaded art style. Reminds me a lot of Mike Mignola's art.

I often roll my eyes when people talk about being too scared in games but Subnautica was the one game I really wanted to play more of but just felt way too anxious to be in the water, I didn't even play that far or see anything that scary but it certainly made me feel uncomfortable in a way i didn't like JollyBoyJohn fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jun 18, 2020 |

I feel like a lot of these demo's are going to end up hurting the games, because they are clearly little con demos that would probably be fine for a 15 minute guided experience but throwing them online and letting people replay and dissect them when a lot of them are very buggy or underdeveloped is just going to turn people off the game.

The KeyWe demo is delightful. It's got a feeling very similar feeling to Overcooked where you're trying to work together to overcome some ridiculous working conditions. I had some good fun with my friend, and I'm looking forward to when it comes out next year.

Well then, guess I am getting Outer Wilds and Titanfall 2 today. What a nice surprise on both. I'd like to wrap up the Assassin's Creed Odyssey DLC before starting either, but holy hell are they long! I beat Legacy of the First Blade and am still on the first act of Fate of Atlantis.

I started off really really liking Outer Wilds. Then a planet crumbled under my feet and I fell into a black hole, I quite literally screamed and jumped back knocking over my chair (and scaring my cats - bonus, tbh  ), and I haven't played since eitherWeird loving thing to have a phobia about, black holes, but there it is

You're rebuying anything you have on Origin on Steam, it seems like. No plans have been announced to double up on those and when people have played around with seeing what happens if you rebuy it and link the original Origin account, it causes weird friction (so maybe don't do so)

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I bought it on day one, played until an extremely unsettling jump scare (which i am told is the only one in the game) and immediately alt+f4'd and never picked it up again. Yeah, I am a giant wuss and this nearly put me off the game when I played it last year, but I was able to work through it by just going and looking up a video to see what's what and that way it stopped worrying me, and even so that area was really really tense but in a good way. GOTY 2019 and now it gets to be GOTY 2020 as well!

They share the same servers though, right? So if I play the Origin version I can match with Steam volks?

here was haldolium's testing of the situation:haldolium posted:lol apparently Origin just gets confused by adding titles via Steam you already own on Origin, at least for the first time. haldolium posted:progress is still there for the tested game. Origin stats (achievements, apparently points?) are saved as well within Origin. assumedly since it's running the game through origin it is using origin's multiplayer servers for all multiplayer components, and therefore the community will be the origin servers community. there won't be a steam/origin servers split because there are only origin servers.

Of note, Command & Conquer Remastered doesn't launch Origin at all, though I assume it does something on the backend. I also assume it uses Origin's server infrastructure too.
