I'm trying to play Metro Exodus on Game Pass and as usual, MS stuff just doesn't work correctly. First of all, I had to download the entire game twice and reset the computer several times just to install it. Now, every time I play it load times are increased by 2 minutes because it goes straight to "applying changes". I googled for a solution and among the myriad of different issues plaguing the Game Pass version of the game I found this thread, I just tried the solution now, and it didn't help. I don't think I have the will to put up with this crap.

It wasn't meant as an insult! I did I get my publishers mixed up, but it was just a bit of silliness associated with the oddness of finding out after the fact it was one of the core members of Denki Groove who was removed from Judgement, and that his musical back catalogue had been virtually erased from Japan as a result of the charges.

It's very possible we'll start hearing things when the first of the exclusivity agreements begin to expire next month.

But even if we ignore exact numbers there are still no coverage or talks with devs about the Store and how they are satisfied in general. I hope that you get what I am talking about.

A thing propping up EGS in the media was the actual lack of console news (the main focus point in gaming media). Once next gen console rumors started to prop up, and the console wars start again, PC is left again to the side.

Does not help that the main sticking point for EGS (big games leaving Steam willingly and going to EGS) which Epic heavily pushed during the first half of the year (with the Metro and Ubisoft deal making many people in the media wondering "what big games are coming to Steam?") are worthless now that MS (and now EA) came back to Steam.

About indie sales, we barely got any actual numbers from Steam for years, despite Valve not caring about you giving them away, and even now that there are no NDA on it, we barely get any news from it and that comes from a MUCH bigger dev base.

Sure, I understand that. I'm just saying that, since the only publishers to talk about EGS are those that have done so via earnings reports, odds are they're otherwise forbidden from publicly commenting on their experience.

Nah I don't think that consoles have anything with that. It is simply case of using situation to gain clicks.

Maybe but we will never know.

I guess that we now know why Deep Silver took the money and never looked back

Far more important than Malus Darkblade and Snikch is the news that Repanse de Lyonesse is getting added to Total Warhammer 2 for free. Who wouldn't want to conquer the old world as Not Joan of Arc.

I can write the blurb on Scarlet Grace. Do I reply directly to you, or send you via PM?

I dreamed I won an RTX 2070 in a contest but when I installed it and checked GPU-Z it turned out to be a GTX 960. :(

Even if it's just a dream I'm still so disappointed.

Hmm... I think I'm gonna discard my current Bretonnian campaign and wait until she's added into the game.

I'm sick fighting Norsca anyway lol

Hah, It didn't make a whole lot of sense even I hadn't confused the publishers - One of those things that I needed to give an extra moment of thought (and more coffee too :) )

That's depressing to hear, Titanfall 2's multiplayer is really darned good. Maybe it'll show up with the other stuff EA's bringing back to Steam and get a bit of a boost?

I think a lot of the more highly regarded console multiplayer shooters are so because of the 60fps and general fluidity that brings, something I've thought since CoD 4 made such an impression. On PC that's obviously just a standard so isn't particularly a selling point by itself. I think Titanfall 2 is a great game regardless, but perhaps there's just too much competition on PC, where on console it still stands out as one of the most fluid and exciting shooters to play.. at least enough that there are still players albeit not many. If every multiplayer shooter on console was 60fps as standard I think we'd start seeing CoD do less well, and others die out, as they seem to do on PC.

That being said, hopefully it gets a massive boost on Steam!

The more I play Death Stranding the more I think Kojima really only thought about planning a story first and attaching a gameplay later because really, when the game forces you to backtrack the whole map not once, but twice, even three times because of "reasons" and there's literally nothing else to do plot-wise in that chapter, you think the gameplay is just what connects one cutscene to another.

If I buy an Occulus Rift S for Alyx are there any issues when buying other VR granted on Steam? Do I have to look up compatability or does it just work?

Opposing Force and Blue Shift over as well. OF wasn't as mediocre as I remembered it to be, but BS might as well never existed lol, aside from the HD pack. HL2 time

Everything will launch. At least on my rift s I've not encountered any problems that way. Some games don't support Oculus touch controllers natively. Like Wolf cyberpilot so you get Windows mixed reality controllers in game or vive wands. But not the end of the world

Only some games natively support the Oculus API on Steam. The ones that do tend to run better but ones that don't will work fine.

Not related to the sales, but I played 3 hours of Glass Masquerade last night. It's a beautiful exercise in putting glasswork jigsaw puzzles together with nice, chill music.

Not particularly difficult (though some puzzles took me up to 20 min, due to there being more pieces and some being more obscure than others;' but really lovely artworks, and a great little experience overall. I think I got it in some Fanatical Bundle, and it's a really nice experience overall.

Yes, the game doesn't support local saving (the saves are real small, so it's not a lot of data usage). Apparently piracy of their previous games was a huge thing, so the game requires you to be online to play.

They have an NA server, however, that appears to be hosted by Azure (the IP is registered to Microsoft), and it's been rock solid in my experience. But that doesn't change the fact that you'll always need to be online (and the server will need to be running) in order to play. (It seems their last game also had the same system, and they removed it at the end of support, so maybe they'll do the same for this one.)

Is this monitor ok? Dell s2419hgf. I'm spending a lot on my first build so I wanted to get a cheaper serviceable monitor. 144 hz and ~5 ms (1ms seems to lead to ghosting) seems good at $99.
