I'll never not laugh when someone posts this.Oldie but goldie
Back in mah day I had to walk 15 miles in snow to get my pc games. If we just forget everything that happened in the last 10 years, which is the time point that EGS takes us back, we would still be better, so it's just a mild inconvenience.
So how does the Borderlands GOTY free upgrade work?
I have the base version, so I'll just wait until April 3rd? But there's already a GOTY edition listed in the store page. It's kind of confusing.

Minor inconvenience minor annoyance exclusives exist everywhere else lazy Valve is gonna have to improve now yadda yadda yadda
Just the same tired old apologetic bullshit trying to normalize practices and tell me how I should feel. Go fuck yourselves with a pointy object.
Finally a good bundle? I already have it though (and screw Snapshot Games).
I went to the New Blood booth at PAX to play the upcoming Amid Evil level. Visually it's like nothing I've ever seen in another game. Really cool. Still needs a bit of polishing for making it clearer where to go, but it's super solid. If you're at PAX and are caught up on the game go take a look. Otherwise, anticipate the release. It's cool.
Also, 3D Realms' new Quake-like, Wrath, was a good start. Not as interesting looking visually in the level they demoed, but the movement and guns felt great. Look forward to it.

Do they not realize this makes them look even more like a paid mouthpiece for Epic?
At this point I don't think they care.
"'We have a feeling this'll be a heated one"... well, you wouldn't know that going by their articles since they *all* downplay the complaints and say everything is great with EGS.
From what I read on reddit it's very inaccurate. A developer said it was showing his game sold around 150k when his was around 30k while also mentioning that steamspy is much closer and accurate.
Yeah, so that's different from the upcoming GOTY version in April 3rd, right?
The GOTY version coming on the 3rd is just an update for the base game on steam, the one already in the store is just the base game with the dlcs.
Are VR headsets with inbuilt tracking sensors any good, they seem like a much less hassle option tbh
I can't believe they're going to go down that shitroad again.
Recently got a Samsung Odyssey+ and it works almost flawlessly - only problem I have encountered is having the controllers behind you for multiple seconds without moving them. Very impressed.
GOG is now selling Warcraft I and II.
I couldn't not buy it.
Maybe I'll finally beat the campaign in Beyond the Dark Portal as orcs. I beat Brood War without cheats last year, so it's possible.
Now, if we can only get Diablo II on GOG, I'll never ask Blizzard for anything ever again.

Spent 2 hrs trying to beat a 2 phase boss in Sekiro. Finally beat it just to find out there is a fucking 3rd phase and omfg its all different with new attacks + pacing....and ofc I have no health left so I die.
That feeling when Miyazaki breaks your willpower and posture in half. This game is so fucking evil. I think I'm in love.

100% agree. if Epic is paying these console devs to release their games on EGS, good for them. even better if it means that we'll get the games on Steam one year later. I'm ignoring everything on epic store, and I hate the moneyhatting exclusive deals, but I'm all for porting console games over. Just means that eventually I'll be able to play games I never would have in the first place, since I don't own any consoles :)
Goddamn. HOMM 3 (GOG) and 5 (Steam) are so damn good.
Tried AoW3 today too and it also clicked for me.
Often I play a game in a certain "genre" and other games that I haven't liked before finally clicks for me.

How is the content at the moment? I'm wondering if I should plunge immediately, or wait until there are more updates. Is it possible to "clear" the game?
Bummed the Momodora 3D project got abandoned so quickly tho I'm sure the upcoming 2d one will be great
5 or 6 characters to unlock (forgot exactly how many) and at least 30 items to find. Klyka and I played for an hour on easy to see what the game had to offer and we hit an endless final difficulty but by that time we were walking gods. We let ourselves die and unlocked a new character for beating 3 stages without dying.
Does seem a bit proof of concept but I had a lot of fun. Will definitely aim to unlock the other characters and see all the biomes.
Buying Risk of Rain 2 from now until 3/30 gets you 2 copies of the game, and so that means I have 1 extra.
I want to gift it to someone who loves roguelikes/roguelites, so whoever posts the most entertaining description or pic of their favorite moment playing one of these type of games will get a steam gift of Risk of Rain 2. Deadline 1 hour from this post!

Wolcen made it to "gameplay beta" finally and it basically looks like a Diablo 3 clone now lol
Is there any performance benefit in plugging in my Mouse/Keyboard/Steam Controller wireless dongle into my USB 3 ports vs USB 2?
New game by inkle is out on April 16th. If you haven't played 80 Days or the Sorcery series don't sleep on them. Some of the best games of the new millennium, the latter especially if you like rpgs with choices and consequences tm.
There was this one time when I was playing Binding of Isaac where I got a particular combination of items that allowed me to just infinitely produce coins , bombs and hearts. Which I did. I filled the entire room with them.
Then the game crashed when I exited the room and lost my run!
If this had launched on Switch at the same time, it would do 10x better.
This screenshot features rather interesting bug I found when playing Curious Expedition, roguelike
However, this bug takes the cake; I finish an expedition, and immediately set off to the next one. However the captain must have been drunk because he chose to arrive at the last map I explored, already all pillaged and everything xD. You can actually see the map is unsolvable because my former starting spot became an island - separated from the rest of the land - due to former shenanigans.
No mods or anything, and to my knowledge I am the only one to have this situation so far.

Actually played enough to "platinum" the hardest difficulty, so I came upon a lot of strange bugs such as maps having no objectives or your departure point (ship) being immediately destroyed upon arrival due to it driving head first into the fountain.

I love it, pushing the game to the limits (and beyond)! Unfortunately a bit late, but I wish I had another copy to gift!
It's fine :) In fact, disappointed that there were less roguelike anecdotes to read.
Not sure if anyone can explain me
the "new" edition of Borderlands 1 will be free for every owner?
the "new" Handsome edition will be the same with Borderlands 2 and The pre sequel?

I like how that Steve guy was like "exclusives already exist on PC," and then just listed first party games. Fuck outta here Steve.
Did they disable the comments section? I can't see it. I've tried using Chrome, IE and on the phone. The Load Comments button did nothing.
Edit: It looks like they did lol. People are talking about it on twitter.
PC Gamer used to be the best. How can they throw away their reputation so easily? The only explanation is they are getting a truck load of money to make it worth it.

WOW, no kidding. It's a completely different game.
Doesn't look bad, but yeah, it looks too much like a slightly darker Diablo 3. Will keep an eye out; after almost 3 years of sitting in my wishlist it finally looks like something.
More likely is the better writers moved on and/or the site was never that great when it came to in-depth investigative articles and looking at things which have a grounding outside of the hobby. Free-market forces, competition and long-term analysis of digital marketplaces are offshoots of Economics, and the EGS is pretty obviously shaking-up the PC digital distro market, which comes under the umbrella of Silicon Valley/Tech expert. This article is literally an opinion piece from some hobbyist writers whose Staff bios are just "These are my gaming credentials". I mean, that's great, but hey, if you're writing about something that has brought such a shock to the status quo, I'd like to hear the opinions of people versed in actual economics and the tech sector, because there's more depth here than they've brought to the table.
Urgh, Waste of time. :/
1) Yes. It has already been added to the relevant packages and will automagically appear in your library once 2K flips the switch.
2) In the sense that you won't need to pay, yes. Unlike Borderlands 1, 2 and TPS aren't being remastered per se, just each receiving an optional UHD texture pack. Think Far Cry: New Dawn.
