  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director wants series vets and newbies alike to be surprised by its twist and turns, seeing the remake as more than 'just a callback'

    Jump

  • It should have been called Reimagination to set expectations for existing fans. FF7 original is probably my favorite game of all time (tie with FF6) and I still did not play Remake (lost interest waiting too long and then asking price on Steam is 80 Euros, fuck you SquareEnix!).

    But you know, I am not entirely opposed to changes in story and character handling, if its done well. They even changed up the battle system. To me this is an opportunity to re-live the game, to experience it with new perspective and see details I could not before. If it was exactly the same game with better graphics, that's just playing the same game again. But the Remake... ahem, I meant Reimagination, is different. And you know what, I kinda like this idea. But off course, I still did not play and don't know how bad it is. And oh god, I hope they don't change the important story line in part 2... this would be a huge fuck.

  • MSI's new Claw handheld goes head to head with Lenovo and Asus at $700

    Jump

  • I don't know what you mean. It even has a screen. Not an OLED, but at that price point we can't nitpick, right? The only thing I really like on this device are the builtin Hall effect thumbsticks.

  • Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Comes To PC This March

    Jump

  • I think Bloodborne will be one of the first, if not the first, games ever to be emulated on a PS4 emulator. There are multiple projects, but they are not ready yet (plus it would require a monster pc).

  • The Pokémon Company Announces It Will ‘Investigate’ Palworld IP And Assets

    Jump

  • So does Rockstar, Valve and Microsoft investigate for any unlicensed commercial usage of the Intellectual Property they own and copyright violations by others. Some are less aggressive, that's for true. If it's not, then Pokemon Company or Nintendo simply don't care.

    Edit: Did the reply I was replying to disappeared? I am sure I was replying to someone who said Nintendo would go to investigate the game for any IP infringement.

  • Valve likely earned over $1bn in Counter-Strike 2 loot boxes last year

    Jump

  • Loot boxes should not be in computer games.

    As much as I like Valve, Valve is one of the major player bringing and normalizing Lootboxes into games. Even before the Lootboxes was a thing on smartphones, let alone before they arrived on other AAA games as well. I think this is the worst contribution of Valve to videogames. And this statement comes from someone who usually defends this company.

  • Last year after I showed off my brother the Steam Deck, he decided to sell most of his CS:GO skins and purchase with the money the Steam Deck (but 64gb model). It was one of his best decisions, because he was thinking of getting a cheap laptop to play simple games and do simple web browsing.

    Now he is a Linux user. :> Gott'em!

    Palworld beat Counter Strike 2's alltime peak of concurrent player count

  • Monster Hunter Rise update adds Enigma DRM, breaks Steam Deck compatibility

    Jump

  • I'm glad to not have invested into the Capcom games. The article talks about Steam Deck only, but I assume its broken on Linux as well ("Linux" as a word isn't found on the article).

  • Palworld Sells Over 1 Million Copies in Just 8 Hours as Steam Servers Struggle to Cope With Launch - IGN

    Jump

  • Palworld Sells Over 1 Million Copies in Just 8 Hours as Steam Servers Struggle to Cope With Launch - IGN

    Jump

  • Doesn't come out of nowhere to my knowledge. It is quite anticipated game by many, as it was shown with trailers before on big shows. Everyone was wondering what kind of game this will be and everyone just knew it as "Pokemon with guns" where you can catch and slave other Pokemon like creatures. I'm actually surprised that so many didn't heard of the game before.

  • Take-Two Interactive and Remedy Entertainment are in a dispute over the letter R

    Jump

  • For reference

  • Ayaneo announces the Next Lite, the first non-Valve handheld PC with SteamOS preinstalled

    Jump

  • Ayaneo announces the Next Lite, the first non-Valve handheld PC with SteamOS preinstalled

    Jump

  • In the past, Ayaneo has been somewhat reticent to discuss its plans concerning SteamOS and as this new venture is not a direct collaboration with Valve, I should imagine that they want to test the waters first.

    If this is not a collaboration with Valve, then I assume it's not SteamOS. Maybe HoloISO that is created by "fans" with the aim of installing an operating system that is extracted and rebuild from the final installation on the Deck (if I understand the project right). The goal is to have HoloISO be able to install on systems other than the Deck itself, to get a similar experience. Maybe the Ayaneo will make use of HoloISO instead?

    The project still needs funding and time to be build, so nothing is set in stone. Valve also works "hard" to bring SteamOS to other systems, so maybe there is a plan to do this. Now the Deck OLED is out, Valve probably have more time to do this (SteamOS 4.0?). Either way, I am very happy and curious what will happen next.

  • Steam kicks off 2024 with its highest-ever concurrents and player count

    Jump

  • Exactly why I don't want to use GOG. There are third party clients, but I refuse to build an entire catalog if the company does not provide something official.

  • Xbox Network will implement mass content deletion taking effect from January 9th

    Jump

  • I expected a more sensible default, such as 365 days. It would also be helpful to have a 'favorite' option to prevent deletion. This is a major letdown.

  • So, Uh, What's Up With The Steam Awards?

    Jump

  • People will never be satisfied with awards. Let the community choose? You get popularity contest. Let the review outlets choose? Then you get only a certain kind of games to win the contest. Steam is very community focused in most of their recommendations and in this case, awards. This has ups and downs and sometimes its stupid. In case of RDR2 who knows what the reason was why they chose this game. It might be an attempt to troll in mass. Or a misunderstanding.

    I take awards as one kind of view and never in isolation. Context matters. So I ignore those where I think it is stupid awards, like Starfield and RDR2, and look at the other candidates. And the other categories as well. And then move on with my life. Just like with the other award shows. Who cares what game won what award? It rarely impacts my choice.

  • Bethesda plans to update Starfield "roughly every six weeks starting in February"

    Jump

  • I wasn't saying both games are similar, but more comparing the situation both games not worth buying day 1. Developers adding new functionality, features and iron out bugs and performance issues. If I like the core gameplay and story, that's another story. But just like with Cyberpunk, I will wait for the game being worked on and buy it later for a cheaper price.

  • Bethesda plans to update Starfield "roughly every six weeks starting in February"

    Jump

  • Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.

  • Crysis Remastered for only 1,49 Euros in Steam

    Jump

  • When I purchased (you can check it yourself by putting it in the cart), there was a notice that this promotion is not applicable to gifts. So it might be an intended special promotion for owners of the previous original version of the game. And Steam glitches out there maybe. If this price is available to you too, then I assume it's intended.
