PC Gaming ERA | June 2019 - It's Baldur's Turn
- Thread starter Uzzy

My threshold for remaster ports is 20-25 CAD
Not quite there. Maybe the Summer sale....
Isn't there rule that says how often games can be on sale on Steam store? So I don't think that Crash will be on summer sale.
Then I'll wait until the winter sale.
Not like I'll run out of games int he meantime...
Is the in-fighting really that bad that it necessitated a name change? What about someone like me who prefers buying things on GOG?
The former steam era discord is PC Era now. GOG is fine, as is other store fronts.
For those of you who have steam accounts, we also have a steam Group here:
if discord ever goes the way of the dodo, we'll probably default to that.
I, for one, appreciate the dumping of your thoughts. We Happy Few seems like it could be a gem if you can approach it knowing its flaws.
I caved. I bought Outer Wilds on EGS. Even when giving them money I still come away disappointed at just what the store "does" and that is just so sad. In order to install the game I actually have to navigate to my library, there actually is no install button once bought on the page.
Just. What. I just don't get it considering they have so many people working there, how is the store team not giving significant pushes or direction but instead just a marketing machine churning out whatever it can to tick boxes.
Edit: Oh wow, it gets better. The game is now stuck on "loading" despite not actually getting a choice to try installing the game. It seems it tries to install when bought *I think* but it honestly is giving me nothing to go off but a constant looping of a loading bar in the library. Is this the suffering I deserve for using this shit store?

Are you sure? Friend of mine published game on Steam few years ago and had launch discount active before Winter Sale and as far as I remember he said that he can't put his game on sale during Winter sale.
Epic Store crew is basically skeleton crew as far as I know. Most of the Epic stuff is on Fortnite and UE4. And yes they probably have more PR and developer relationships people than actual store developers.
That's different, publishers can't do a discount within 30 days after launch or their launch discount ends.
Discounting (Steamworks Documentation)
Q: Can I participate in Steam-wide seasonal sale events if my product recently launched?
A: Generally, you cannot submit a discount within 30 days of release or 30 days from when the launch discount ends. However, if you submitted a launch discount and your product releases within 7 days of a Steam-wide seasonal sale events (like the Steam Summer Sale, for example), Valve can help you extend that introductory launch discount to last through the sale event.
Q: How often can I discount my game?
A: Custom discounts must be spaced at least 2 months apart and at least 2 months after the release of your product on Steam. Custom discounts don't affect eligibility for Steam-wide seasonal sale events. Note that the 30-day cool-down for new releases and price increases will still apply for the Steam-wide events.

Tnx for that.
You get an extra copy of Deathgarden: Bloodharvest if you buy it now. It's also cheaper if you own Dead by Daylight and buy the bundle
You get 2 copies for 6,99€ (regular price 14,99€ for a single copy, sale price 9,99€ for a single copy)

Is Bloodharvest an expansion? or reboot? The original game didn't really click for me.
You could probably try using Moonlight on mobile to see how the experience differs. Shield requires GeForce Experience installed to run, which automatically makes Steam Link better in my opinion.
Steam Link now has an option to send inputs to UAC prompts, so as long as you leave Uplay's overlay enabled it should be fairly seamless now.
If you enable NVFBC capture, it is using the same method as Moonlight/Shield do.
There is also OSOL which can be configured to launch non-Steam games and close the client automatically once you quit the game, so that you always return to Steam BPM.
Contact support if you have not redeemed the key(s).
If you're on a PC, you're nearly always better off buying the collection, extracting the ROMs, and using the emulator of your choice (RetroArch is best, in my opinion).
I don't know if that's possible for these collections yet, but I've done it with many others.
I use GeForce Experience already so that's not really an issue. I'm more concerned about how games like Destiny 2 or Apex Legends would launch on either. My own experimentation with dedicated Steam Link hardware a few years ago had non-Steam games not always launching when I wanted them to or how I expected.
Steam Link always wins hands down for me, but I am biased because I have the physical Steam Link box. I seriously can not live without it, gaming has become so much easier by just booting it up on the big screen with my Steam Controller.
Yeah, I've got my PC hooked up directly via fibre-optic HDMI (in the wall) to my living room OLED as that's my primary gaming display. But in other rooms we have Samsung TVs and all have Steam Link built in and it works flawlessly. I was sceptical after using PS4's Remote Play, but Steam Link is a night and day improvement over that.
It is great that you can connect Xbox One controller with BT to newer Samsung TVs. I didn't try DS4 maybe that one works too. Also you can connect any BT keyboard&mouse. It is really nice feature to have on TV.
They released a big update and now call it bloodharvest.
If you bought the game before the relaunch you got 2 copies to give away
Highlight thread is up~
No problemo homie~
I enjoyed it! Emma Vieceli really nailed Max and Chloe, and the dialogue between them is spot on. The interior art from Claudia Leonardi is good, with lots of subtle details and changes. The overarching plot is pretty interesting too, feels very
Quantum Leapy
The story's continuing-ish too, and this cover for Issue 5 looks incredible.

So with the news that Larian Studios is likely working on BG3 I found myself pulled back into Divinity: Original Sin 2 this weekend.
After just a single game restart way back when, I still find myself deep into my first pass through the game. That's even with a combined total of 95 hours logged. Pretty typical for me as I tend to be an extreme sightseer who turtles their way through most titles.
Perhaps I'll cross the finish line around the 200 hour mark. :p

Didn't realise that E3 is next week, thought it was next month.
This year has flown by. Pretty disappointing. :/

Loved Dying Light after the initial few hours which I found a bit of a struggle. Once I levelled up a bit it became loads of fun. Looking forward to 2 (please no EGS exclusive please)
I remember early on in DL i got stuck on a shed and bonked the same zombie on the head about 15 times before he went down.
isnt it EGS exclusive?
Im legit asking, at this point I'm not sure what is EGS exclusive or what I've just seen people posting hoping its not EGS, it's all a blur.
