Gamers are screwed, little devs are screwed, but Epic and the press told us "It's for your own good".
So you've heard them, just bear with it.

Thats the thing, there are many things you can hit Steam/Valve about, but people always fix on the minor things that are not an issue (or are a minor, rare issue like review bombing).
I don't have access to the .docx version of the file right now, but i'll write it down.
More Yakuza is always good. I hope they bring 6 as soon as possible.
If Randy wants to leave Steam all I can say is good riddance. He's never gonna do it, but it would've been nice to see him walk a walk once.

After playing the 2 Yakuza games, I'm not actually looking forward to play the other 5 games soon enough. The fact that they're all set in exactly the same map just rubs me in the wrong way. Too samey.
Judgement at least has a different protagonist and systems even though it's still set in Kamurocho yet again. So I'd love them to port it first before the rest of Yakuza games.
UWP games can only use desktop resolution in full screen.
Never had a problem with Kamurocho maps tbh. The only thing that I find to be ridiculous is that in almost every installment the final battle takes place in Millenium Tower. Characters are great (Kazuma admittedly overstayed his welcome by the 4th game, but he's a symbol), combat is pretty simple but fun (except for Dead Souls, this shit sucks ass) and there's a ton of side activities. That being said the first 2 games and 0 are clear stand outs for me.
We Happy Few at least shows the resolution and lets you switch between 1080p, 1440p, and 4K like you'd expect. These are the first games I've played on windows store bs outside of Gears of War and Forza 4 and the latter has a billion options.
Behemoth in Monster Hunter World sucks, you'd think they'd try to bolster the horrible monster line up with some of the 2 dozen classic monsters that didn't make the cut but nope dumb, gimmicky mmo tie in.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Randy and the rest of the victims of this tragic (review) bombing. Has anyone started a Gofundme yet?
"Oh look, the poor babies complaining that they're getting review bombed"
"Oh look, the poor babies review bombing anything that they don't like"
It works both ways. Making light of the reactions to review bombing in this manner only makes the fact that you do it in the first place all the more pathetic.
I could see Kiwami coming out sometime around late Summer. Probably for the better for me. I could see myself getting tired by the formula after playing the first 2 so close to each other.
Consumers not only have a right to complain when the market fails them, it is arguably one of the few rights they have with this system. That people choose to do so should be expected and accepted.
The fact that it comes out as review bombing is a symptom of the problem that other forms of communication are awful and easily ignored.

I am browsing through the screenshots and have no clue what the game is about 😂
It is more-less first person puzzle platformer set in sandbox environment.
Oh I noticed. I am just saying it looks a bit all over the place. Downloading now in order to take a look.
Downloading the demo. Seems to check a lot of boxes for me based on its description.
I'll have a thread for it up on Monday.
I'll also link to the dev's twitter page so some neanderthals can port beg properly for a Switch, etc. release.
Borderlands is fun, especially with all the QoL changes. Too bad everything is so brown, and Reshade can barely help. Good thing is that it's not very long and I can continue to Borderlands 2 soon enough. Or maybe not, because so far I've been doing every single quest available. It'll take a while to finish the game at this rate.
Promoting indie games here is an uphill battle.
A made a thread once to encourage people here to more actively support indie games by posting and/or creating more threads about them, and what I got was "Why?", "It's a hassle", etc. Meanwhile, they make a new thread based on a new tweet or interview by a super popular dev, or racing to be the first to make a thread for a highly anticipated AAA game announcement/trailer/new info every single day.
I feel like this place is really not for me.
My pathologic 2 release date and launch trailer thread got like 5 replies and that was with gamepass in the title lol
Dragon Quest XI might end up being one of my favorite jrpgs of all time, act 2 is full of surprises and the presentation is just through the roof all around. Plus a jrpg that doesn't sexualize kids huzzah!

Its just like with online TV and movies. The hoops for piracy are just easier than hoops for "legitimate" sources. Add-in any emotional investment and piracy hoops become even lower. I've heard the mighty Jim Sterling admit he "pirates" BBC iPlayer.
You need to make people feel good about buying stuff legitimately, not make them feel bad when buying a product.
Later games are like 0 in that their focus is split between Kamurocho other areas. I never really felt tired of the setting, specially since Kamurocho is basically redesigned every game lol
Yeah its best to space them out so each game can breathe.
Service problem etc etc
If buying legit starts becoming too much of a hassle or too pricey, piracy will naturally rise.
Interest in niche games (on Era) is sort of this double-edged sword. You have to make threads to keep interest up, but the (current) lack of interest makes it hard to generate a stable discussion on any of the topics, because (I think) most people just don't think of Era as the place to go for it.
In general it needs to be a pretty breakout title to gather a lot of attention.

Yakuza 5 ran like hot trash on the ps3 so definitely excited for that one to get ported.
Not Drakengard 3 level tho

Supraland demo was better than I expected. Seems to run fine on proton as well. At the very least the demo deserves a shot. Wishilisted for now.
I find it strange that Era will always tell you to not praise Gaben, but Kaz or Reggie are "more than just businessmen" for some reason.
"Era" will tell you how bad it is to have Rockstar development conditions and then the same posters rocking a RDR2 avatar and tell you how great that game is.
Nah. Narrative first, bitterness later. Reminds me of 2013 when MS was shitting the bed over The One and the holdouts got really pissy once that became the inevitable conclusion.
I get the mentality. Steam, (and Switch, and PS4, and One, and GOG, and...) ain't just flooded with mediocre to crap games, they're also flooded with good to outstanding ones.
But the Great Pumpkin that is EGS isn't the savior they thought it was, and brings with it some mighty baggage that's setting off firestorms in all directions (which continues to be my one true concern).
