Isn't that game an upres port of a 3DS game? Would explain the graphics/animation thing.
Oooh yeah that'd make sense. Funnily enough I think Capcom were among the FEW 3rd party devs on the 3DS to produce well animated games on the system.
I used this a few times to access Steam Cloud data when moving from Linux to Windows or viceversa. Steam can't do that on its own it seems. Or maybe it's a config thing the devs have to supply
I never knew that you could check your login history. That's really useful.
Its a shame Crackdown 3 is will be Windows Store exclusive. I dont own a game yet on that store and ideally do not want to start yet another account.
I don't mind creating a new account. But supporting a store that sells games as encrypted UWP "apps" is not an option for me. I value the open nature of PC gaming more than a few MS exclusives.
Is it just published by Microsoft or is it an internal game? Could it ever see a steam release like Super Lucky's Tale, Recore, Quantum Break, ect.?
I want to play a horror game before RE2 comes out.
I can't decide between RE4, RE remake or RE 0 remake. I only played RE4 on gamecube when it came out and only the original PC version of RE like 20 years ago. Never played zero. What's the best game to play out of these?

Don't know if it's the best but I'll start playing REmake when I get home.
You've already played RE4 and have not played RE:0 or REmake?
I'd say go with REmake. It's much different that the game you played 20 years ago and, IMO, the best of the 2D backdrop REs by far.
The heroes games have been out in Japan for a long time, that might be part of it and with the promise of 300 plus heroes and 1000 plus cards they can't rekt all their budget in animations.
But yeah, the game doesn't look great... Might still give it a try since I love Dragon Ball and card games.
Same situation as Halo Wars 2: developed by an external studio, but funded by Microsoft and they own the IP as well. It may come to Steam if it doesn't sell well on Xbox One and Windows 10.
I see what you did there :p
Funded and published by Microsoft and a Microsoft IP. Don't think it'll come to Steam any time soon.
Wait for numbers. If it tanks on Windows Store for pc, it might end up on other stores. Or MS rethink their PC strategy again. 50/50 me thinks
MS are rethinking their pc strategy at this very moment.
But yes, ReCore is the best example; a Microsoft funded, Microsoft published game where Microsoft also holds the IP. ReCore came to Steam two years after launch, so it is possible.
So soon too? That's nice.
God, I need to start playing these series of games.
Is Chaos:Child a good starting point?
If you have a Microsoft account (which I couldn't do without anyway) you're already in. Also lots of offers for a few months of gamepass. They've regularly done 1€ for one month, good enough for those kind of games.
Meanwhile Origin is yet again giving me sub-1MB/s download speed. Come the fuck on, you used to be faster. edit: Lots of peeps have the same issue it seems, turning on 'Safe mode downloading' which according to description should reduce speeds at least brought me up to ~250MBit. 'Origin is fiiiiiiine' they say.

Oh yea I probably have a microsoft account from something, just no games in the account. But yea I forgot about game pass. If i can pay for a month and play Crackdown thats good enough for me.
You can do a 14 day trial too. Game pass is decent on PC. You get access to a decent amount of games. Its just the navigation of the store succckss.
I hope the Jurassic World Evolution Sales get us a sequel with more of the dynamics from Operation Genesis
still no Portia's OT? or is it search failing me?
it's official, Nabs is not sane anymore
Ye 1 month of gamepass has been $1 for a few months now. I don't particularly care to play anything that has been added since I last subscribed so I've been waiting. If the $1 sale is on for another week I'll probably grab it to play Crackdown 3.
How does Portia play with a controller? It looks like a game I would like to sit back and couch potato.
Yeah me too. I liked it but it did feel a bit lacking in depth. Very nice visually though.
So would say I should play SteinsGate first, as to not be biased by how much better ChaosChild is?
Yeah it's true. But doesn't seem they judge quality at all.
It's funny how some developers cry that why must Valve plays their games and include content that store page says there is. And then Gamers cry Valve doesn't play games.
I was actually waiting for the PS4 version to go back on sale since it's been out for a while but I'll just pick this up instead.
During the creation of my goty list I have realized I own so many games from last year that I either have not touched or played like 5 min off.
Like I literally finish 1 or 2 games a month.

I played both Fata Morgana and Steins;Gate and ... this can't possibly be true. A game this good does not exist.
It's safe to start with Steins;Gate, the Chaos and SG games aren't really connected story-wise - while there are some minor throwbacks to earlier games you might miss, it's nothing significant.

This is a shame. AER was a nice little exploration/adventure game, though I can't say I'm surprised that it didn't sell enough to keep the studio in business.

Just sold my Overwatch humble link for 7 TF2 keys and sold them on Steam marketplace for $21CAD and change. Humble bundle wins!
Also how discovery / visibility is very often the #1 complaint against the Steam store, yet in that same interview he essentially said the Epic Store will not offer discovery beyond the front page, developers should "rely on outside sources" for discovery.
To carry on off the back of this... I was cautiously hopeful when Epic launched their store despite the kind of scummy start, but every single thing they say digs the hole deeper and deeper. If they accomplish everything in their list for the next 1-2 years, we'll be left with a store with:
- No discovery options
- No forums
- No user created guides or content apparently
- Maybe no reviews, maybe yes, maybe pop ups (everyone loves those, right?) to get reviews in
- More throwing money at people to try and recruit customers (the whole influencers thing)
- No workshop? Sounds like
- Apparently still no refunds beyond the 2 for any given account
- No official sales tracking despite that being one of his very own major complaints against Valve, and maybe no API for it either
- Even with addition of regional pricing, they aren't covering the cost of extra processing fees so many games are just flat out more expensive than every other store out there
- From the sounds of it, the exact same self-publishing process Steam uses
Epic is spending so much money on exclusives, free games, they're going to subsidize the whole influencer cut thing at first sounds like and encourage conflicts of interest / sellouts, but they aren't spending any money on actually making a good store. They're going to completely ignore discovery (which has been a crucial element of all retail stores for over 100 fucking years) and just hope it happens elsewhere. Same with forums (for like, tech support and the like, also kind of important), reviews to a bigger or lesser extent (reviewing can be abused but it's also been a major source of consumer empowerment the past decade in all economies). They seen to just want people to blindly show up, buy things they magically know they want, and see a nice tidy profit off it. They are acting like they have developers' best interests in mind by trying to appeal to the edges of the emotional complaints, because completely removing those components is cheaper than fixing them. They're offering money for exclusives and a bigger cut to lure devs (all of the ones so far had no special need of greater discovery or security) in the hope it will build some kind of incentive-payout cycle with devs and streamers and maybe review sites and end up making them more than it cost.
Epic is not trying to actually compete with Steam, they are just trying to jam their foot in the bigger gaming economy door.
About that. Played for about 1.5h and I'm not sure I'm liking it. Never played the original, so I might be missing the nostalgia factor but the camera angles suck like 90% of the time.
And I had to switch to using a controller. KBM just doesn't feel good.
