I'm glad I'm finished with Halo: CE, but there was an update that killed easy Anti-cheat, so none of my achievements after The Silent Cartographer have appeared yet.

I'm hoping that I'll suddenly get them all whenever it's fixed. :ohdear: I want them cheevos, but I don't want to redo CE any time soon. Not because of the Flood, not because of the Covenant... But because of those goddamned sentinels (and the Library, gently caress that level).

Oh btw if you’re still having trouble with these guys, use plasma. Charge shot on the pistol is OHKO, or the rifle will stun them in place.

Good lord, I could've used this info during "Light the Fuse... and Run Away" :negative: thanks, anyway!

Also, holy poo poo the audio in Halo 2 Anniversary is just perfect.

What in the everloving gently caress? No, just no :psypop:

I guess the throwback wave so far has been missing someone who wanted an extremely 90s comic book Very Special Issue approach in addition to general edginess.
Please more uncalled for bongrip references to midcentury french philosophers like Cruelty Squad did and not that.

I cannot decide if it would be weirder for this to be true or for them to have concocted the entire story to avoid having to admit they've missed their schedule. Neither option would make a huge amount of sense to me.

I guess I have no idea what Valve do and do not do as part of their cert process??

It's possible that they horribly misunderstood some extremely anemic feedback like "we appear stuck in the opening room" and "please provide more detail about what the graphic content is." The latter could have just been that valve spent 5 minutes in the game and wanted a description because that's standard protocol and they thought it meant valve spent hours in there, saw the alien licking cutscene, and thought it wasn't a big deal?

Tiny Timbs posted:

That's extremely distasteful but I don't buy that 1) Valve is doing extensive gameplay testing and 2) that their response would be to demand removal of the warning, not the content

Yeah the whole thing immediately smacked of horseshit to me, of some alternative universe where Valve playtests every single game that gets certified on their platform.

Yeah, cert is not QA and you cannot use it as such. It's there to make sure you comply with platform rules and your marketing is at least vaguely honest. If cert encounters major technical issues they are fully justified in immediately kicking it back with a "failed, do better"

I don't understand, why did they submit a release build to Valve if the game isn't even done yet. Like not even "day one patch" not done, but game elements not even created yet

the sequence involves an emaciated, wrinkled alien creature bobbing up and down while licking the camera. this, to us, is so disgusting that it required advance warning and an option to disable the content

Hello superfans, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Steam has rejected our game ONCE AGAIN because the tester failed to meet our BADASSES ONLY age requirement, and felt that the "copious child-death could be dialed back a bit" in our prologue

At the other hand Free Market™ Lord and Savior Tim Sweeney has accepted our current incomplete build so he doesn't have to put Unreal games back on sale.

The demo of that game was really great, too bad at best I'm going to pirate it but probably instead will just forget about it. I could see Steam doing weird rejection things based on how esoteric their processes are but also why would you write the words in that twitter announcement, or argue with a guy who has a lot of experience in getting smaller games on Steam about reality. I don't think the boomer shooter/immsim is going to suddenly bring a real nuanced portrayal of sexual assault so maybe just don't include it at all.

Worst thing about the Epic store is that's the only place you can play Tony Hawk 1+2 on PC which requires an internet connection to start and has never been cracked

all the other exclusive games came out on Steam etc after 6-12 months but not that one :(

Good news!

What on earth is deathmatch classic? Looks old like hl models in weird rear end locales, only 5 bucks. Probably nobody playing... Means I'm going to buy it and immediately regret it at some point
