What I want from JaseC is the "keys to his kingdom" giveaway, like he did that one time. Those were simpler times.

Heads up! I got a 66% off voucher for Book of Demons that brought the price down to 5,98€ since it's also currently on sale.

Library manager that unifies all games from different launchers (and emulators). It still opens the original launcher (except GOG) but well...

Since this is also open source, it may be the way to go for me in the future simply because I want 100% control of the UI and UX. Looks like it has some ways to extend functionality as well.

Maybe a side project for next year.

The main thing i see in all these devs mentioning epic store are innovate etc. Half of steams fucking api is innovative magic that nothing else compares too. Every computer is different. Third party controllers etc. Good luck using half them controllers on epic or origin etc. Yet on steam they will work easily

Fucking feels like don mattrick and aaron greenberg spin has spilled to devs

I don't think anyone believes them. We all know the biggest incentive is the moneyhat.

Yeah even with the flash sales we got that lasted for either 8 or 12 hours people would complain. If you can't spare a couple of minutes in 8+ hours to check steam then too bad. The rest of us shouldn't have to miss out.
I'd rather we ALL don't miss out by having the same discount throughout the sale.

Hey guys, I wonder if Lamplight City any good? How is it compared to Unavowed? Have an urban fantasy itch for an entire year.
fROM impressions I'd read, it is a very simpler PnC game. Not on the same level as Unavowed, but if you're looking a PnC fix the game should satisfy.

i should probably exclude shoot em ups myself since they're the biggest culprit of advertising with anime cuties and then it's yet another fucking touhou
Not all shmups are touhous though most shmups with cutesy anime girls are bullet hells (much like touhou)
Degica published Cave shmups that have cutesy girls that'll satisfy your....needs. There was also this one indie bullet hell that cute girls in it too.
Oh also look up Twinkle Star Sprites.

well it's false advertising!

anime cuties belong in rpgs right
No not really, they could work in just about any game genre. Case in point

Which I can at least respect for the small guys struggling. The apocalypse is real. It's feast or famine like never before. But Super Meat Boy was a low budget game that sold millions of copies. Those guys can buy their own island if they wanted. For that to be what's getting "support" shows it's not about supporting games that wouldn't get made otherwise. Cause that's the last game that needs it.

It's a false choice. Developers rightly cut back on their discounts with its removal. The only point of the flash sale was that you got featured on the front page. And that exposure meant you more than made up for the lost revenue by getting volume you would never obtain otherwise. It was great for the consumer and the smaller devs.

That's a fair argument.

But you keep repeating it and it ain't funny :V

Mind you I don't like bullet hells, I suck balls at them, but I decided to try out Cave's shmups due to how popular they were and I still manged to have fun. I am pissed off as all hell that they had to go and use one of the most badass names ever for a final boss in a video game

Nothing like spending 30 minutes collecting tens of thousands of soul-things and then falling off a ledge because it's dark 🤦‍♂️

DayZ got out of Early Access!



6 years in the making, maybe I should give it a go and see how it plays.

Feels like I played the mod only yesterday. Time flies!

Well well well, Day Z is out, after an eternity in early access. You can also play it for free for the next 3 days.

DayZ really screwed the pooch. They were the first and were so popular but then just perma early access and they let all the new games come out polished.
It's kinda funny too because it turns out all I ever really wanted from DayZ was the Battle Royale. And here PUBG, Fortnite, etc are and so much better than DayZ's shit zombie jank ever was.

If i've never played a survival game before, ...outside of Miasmata, how big is the learning curve on something like DayZ? Or is it more a frustration curve due to dying quickly and often, without knowing how or why, and having to start over

I wouldn't touch DayZ at the moment with a ten ft. pole, they're still having massive FPS issues. They launched their 1.0 version with a horrible FPS bug and a persistence bug (So imagine creating a base and it just up and disappears when you log out and log back in, and your fps used to be 60 but is now 15)

They're trying to get it all fixed but basically the game is "half finished" you can read about all of what's missing from it on their sub reddit. It's a free weekend so I mean try it out but even at the moment the game is more broken than normal but to try and convince people to check it out because WOOO it's 1.0 it's hilarious with the amount of shit that's still broken/not implemented

They're basically just banking on/counting on modding to fix the game for them at this point

As smarter people than me have pointed out in their mega thread DayZ is currently missing 39 Weapons that used to be in the game
Things Missing
39 Firearms: Crossbow, recurve bow, Amphibia S, P1, Red9, Glock 19, Derringer, M1911, .357 Magnum, Longhorn, Repeater, Sporter, Flaregun, Trumpet, AK74, AKS-74U, AK101, AUG, CR527, SKS, Blaze95, FN FAL, Winchester M70, VSS, PM73 RAK, IZH43, RPG-7, M72 LAW, M249 SAW, PKM, Dark Gun, Taser pistol, Groza, Steyr Scout, CR 550, M12 Shotgun, Saiga12k, Uzi, Bizon​
Ouch. 78% of the weaps will be missing for 1.0.
