Synthbuttrange posted:theres also the persistent feel like I'm going to get mugged by microtransactions somewhere though Thankfully, the only microtransactions are for extra costumes. Bizarrely all of them come with the season pass, so them making a system for microtransactions was really unneeded, they could have just made them normal DLC.

TeaJay posted:Count me in with similar Ghost Song experiences. The beginning felt incredibly atmospheric and exciting, but as the game went along, it kinda lost a lot of the mystery. Some areas existed simply for being somewhere to pick up a ship part, not much else. The ending left me wanting something more, even with the secret ending, which felt like "okay, and?" more than a big reveal. I didn't even bother finishing it, it just wasn't going anywhere and getting increasingly tedious to play. A lot of the combat is pretty clunky too with the hitboxes being what they are

Yeah it was noon EST. I downloaded it last night as I was sleeping, I went out and touched grass, as the kids say, and came back, chilled out, made dinner, went "I should try that free play before sunday is over", and realized it was deactivated while I was still touching grass (being outside with friends)

House in Fata Morgana So often touted as one of the best VNs available, I've owned it for years and finally decided to play it. I wouldn't normally post until I've seen the entire thing, but the whiplash from the first story being kinda meh and the second story being loving amazing is so strong it bears mentioning. I read the first story, then stopped playing for about 3 weeks before convincing myself to get back into it and the next part just blew me away. Definitely going to finish this game real soon.

So I went to see a Tony Hawks Pro Skater cover band at the weekend (The 900 - one of the most fun shows I've ever been to) and it got me wondering. Why the gently caress isn't that THPS 1+2 remaster on Steam yet? I thought it was only Epic exclusive for a year, which has now passed? I keep hearing about how Activision are desperate for the MS acquisition to go through as they've essentially backed their own business into a corner. That seems like a super quick win for a buck or two. See also; Crash Team Racing on PC.

Yeah you get this remake and actually it's brilliant, but here's a load of bullshit around the edges of it and we're not putting it on Steam. Also, don't expect the most home run, bankable DLC anyone could possibly make with a 3+4 remaster because we can't be arsed.

Apparently Atomic Heart lacks a FOV slider and has mouse acceleration that you can't turn off  I imagine those are things modders will able to fix, but goddamn what year is it

Atomic Heart comes out tomorrow, and I wanted to play it, but the Russian ties seem kind of gross and shady. Anyone have any details on those? The most I've found was a Eurogamer article that's swayed me away from playing it for the moment.

Atomic Heart has a weird aesthetic disconnect between the artstyle and the dialogue. Like, the artstyle screams "european arthouse scifi", while the dialogue is "american straight-to-video action".

Okay but what about the sexy robot girls? I was under the impression that they were the reason why people were buying that game and not because they were clamoring for more slavjank.

I read the Controversy segment on wikipedia after your previous post, but like I already gave MS my money so I just don't really see how it matters one way or the other if I install and play it or not. It's not like I read that and then decided whether to actually buy the game. Jack Trades posted:Okay but what about the sexy robot girls? I suspect interest in the game is like 30-70 on "sexy robot ladies" to "maybe this game will be like Bioshock except if Bioshock had good combat"

Tiny Timbs posted:You want details about how the Russian game was made by Russians? I don’t know what to tell you bud It didn't seem too bad to me this morning before I looked up the additional info. The core / founding team from Russia moved to Cyprus at some point, the development team is split across several countries, and one notable contributor (Mick Gordon) donated his pay from the game to a Ukrainian charity. That's more or less what I knew before today. I didn't realize their funding was still very Russian, and that Mundfish was cagey in replying to any direct questions on this stuff. I'm also surprised to see the critic reviews so high for this game when we're seeing other people posting how buggy and janky it is here. I'm wondering if the reviewers were sent builds with more bug fixes or something?

For some reviewers, the atmosphere and setting is enough to overcome the bad voice acting and the bugs. For others, it is not enough. It's that simple.

^I mean games journalism has always been a joke. The one review I just watched basically pointed out the lack of technical features / settings and a poorly fleshed out world as his reasons for not recommending the game. But again I already slipped Microsoft  last week so I'll find out how it runs on a 3070 and an i9 10850 soon enough.
