It's still crazy that they were able to push the freaking Aurora engine (Neverwinter Nights 2) to even have these graphics.

Det_no posted:Valheim just reached 3 million copies sold. It's a really good game. It has some rough edges and some not-so-smooth transitions, but they really tapped into something with their pve style survival sandbox rather than the usual ARK/rust/whatever type pvp based game.

Is it any fun to play solo, or is it a deep rock galactic kind of thing where you can technically play solo but you really need a group to get the most enjoyment out of it?

It's perfectly fine solo, quite fun in fact. You do need to enjoy these types of games though. If you hate picking up rocks and sticks and chopping down trees and mining stuff so you can build a house and get better gear this game probably won't do much to make you think otherwise.

When did this sort of low poly look start to get popular? It's not a complaint, but I feel like a lot of games are converging on this aesthetic and I don't know why.

It's been rising in popularity in the past few years. I think it's popular among indie devs because of both a) PS1 nostalgia and b) it lets you use fancy 3D lighting/postprocessing effects without needing to spend a million years/a lot of money on assets. Personally, I love it, better to give a game a nice style than to aim for realism on a budget.

It's another thing to hide all console footage so you can trick customers into buying a beta that might not be fixable on the hardware they own.

I thought The Turing Test was supposed to be a standout game based on all the hype it got after release, but it really seems to fall on its face compared to The Talos Principle and Soma despite coming later. Also, the subtitles don't work and the developer apparently thinks this is part of their "artistic vision" and that is just insulting. Maaaaaaan

Propaganda Hour posted:This rules. Witcher 1 rules. Witcher 1 was amazing for the sense from the actual characters at so many points that they were just fed up with the bullshit that goes on in their life/society. Setting it up so Geralt is all amnesic for plot purposes worked pretty well for the point learning and reacting to how lovely everything is for witchers and non-humans.

I accidentally read a Haven spoiler. Whoops. Someone please tell me it isn’t like that Passengers movie before I play it again? I only did an hour or two. New JRPG bundle looks good. If it sticks around long enough, I might be able to grab like half of the whole thing. My poor backlog.

My memory of W1 could be clouded by 2 and 3, but I remember being impressed by how Geralt had friends and acquaintances, and gasp even had conversations with them  (despite the dumb amnesia crap). That sense of belonging of an RPG protagonist to the world was pretty new for me, and it really made others like Shepherd seem like friendless losers, who think "tell me about your species" is a good icebreaker and not awkward at all. You're a spaceman Shepherd, you should know what a Quarian is. You moron..

Apple subpoenaed Valve for six years of sales data on hundreds of Steam games (initially over 30,000!) as part of their legal battle with Epic. For some reason.Apple posted:Apple’s Request 2 is very narrow. It simply requests documents sufficient to show Valve’s: (a)total yearly sales of apps and in-app products; (b) annual advertising revenues from Steam; (c)annual sales of external products attributable to Steam; (d) annual revenues from Steam; and (e)annual earnings (whether gross or net) from Steam. Apple has gone as far as requesting this information in any readily accessible format, but Valve refuses to produce it. Valve posted:Apple wrongly claims those requests are narrow. They are not. Apple gave Valve a list of 436 video games it says are available on the Epic Game Store and Steam, and (a) demanded Valve identify, from 2015 to the present, every version and all digital content or items for each of these games on Steam, then (b) provide exhaustive information about all of them, including:
