Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • I said not much trouble, not no trouble, but that being said, zero times. Issues I've encountered have not been related to getting a game running.

  • Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • Maybe you're going for more esoteric titles, or maybe some with invasive anti-cheat software, but just to add another, opposing point, I haven't had much trouble since switching to Kubuntu.

  • Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered released on Steam [10% off]
  • Not released on Steam, it doesn't release until December 10.

  • Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows
  • Inaccuracies, both historical and caused by a general lack of research. Stolen assets that they have no right to use, some of which could be considered culturally insensitive. Differences in the English and Japanese "apology" letter which make it seem like they're disregarding the Japanese, or attempting to turn the rest of the world against them. General lack of polish.

  • Leaked Nintendo Switch 2 chassis "almost certainly real," analysts say | TechSpot
  • You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.

  • Square Enix Admits Final Fantasy 16 and 7 Rebirth Profits ‘Did Not Meet Our Expectations’ - IGN
  • 7 Remake is currently 50% off on Steam, which means it's about the price I would accept when not on sale. Square only needs to cut another 25% or so and they'll make a customer of me.

  • Square Enix Admits Final Fantasy 16 and 7 Rebirth Profits ‘Did Not Meet Our Expectations’ - IGN
  • I believe I read that, in other for them to consider a game successful, it has to generate more profits than if they had just invested all funds spent on the project.

  • Introducing Steam Families
  • I really doubt they've got an IP lock in place; just set up a Family and invite your siblings and in-laws.

    Edit: tried it with a buddy, and it is in fact IP locked; he was unable to join until I set up a VPN for him to connect through. After initial setup, you don't need the same IP address.

  • Dead Island 2 - Neighborhood Watch - Reveal Trailer
  • I liked DI2, but this appeals to me zero percent. Just as an aside, it didn't ruin the game for me or anything, but they have some balls, ending the game on a cliffhanger.

  • Star Wars Outlaws - Review Thread
  • A lot of toothless game bloggers afraid of biting the hand that feeds.

  • Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10
  • I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.

  • Spin Rhythm XD
  • You do hit notes, but not all of them. The "dots" just need to be lined up, whereas "bars" require a button press as well.

  • Spin Rhythm XD
  • I'd had this game on my wishlist for quite a while, and I also picked it up during this sale. Among rhythm games that aren't based around specific peripherals, i find this one of the most tight, well-playing ones, and I'd encourage anyone with even a little interest to check out the demo.

  • European Citizens' Initiative against killing games is ~300k [Sweden, Finland, Germany and Poland already over the threshold]
  • Ross has said his early statement about a country needing to hit the threshold for its votes to count was wrong, and only seven countries are needed.

  • FINAL FANTASY XVI coming to Steam 17th sept. [demo available now]
  • I wouldn't underestimate Square Enix's ability to moan about sales figures. I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work.

  • Swen Vincke was worried that the 100-hour Baldur's Gate 3 would be too short, which is why Larian made a ton of extra areas they wound up cutting
  • Counterpoint: 100 hours is not too much, but it could be too much for you. That's fine, it's very obvious from the type of game it is that it's probably going to be 50+ hours long, and if you're not playing right at release, you can check Howlongtobeat. I don't think playing a game for two months is a mark against it, as long as I like the game.

  • An ambitious Fallout 4 mod aims to completely rebuild the epochal 1997 RPG, and you can try the unofficial Fallout 1 remake right now.
  • I've tried getting into the first two a few times, but you're right, they are very dated. I think Bethesda could get an easy win from remakes of these games; just polishing them up and making some gameplay changes to bring them in line with modern games. There's no need to make the games first person, or anything that would dramatically change them, the market clearly has an appetite for CRPG's.

  • #StopKillingGames update: Finland just passed the threshold.
  • I don't know whether it is the case, but it could be because those places have fewer English speakers, so they're more difficult to reach.
