- maybe mgs-inspired, but no more mgs from him. thanks konami..SteveJobs

- HE'S WEARING A HOLY MOUNTAIN TEEgarbage
- I didn't even play Death Stranding, but I watched it because I was curious what would happen when he had no studio to hold him back.garbage
- He's crazy as shit and I love it. Some people just aren't built for Hideo's Wild Ride.garbage
- Death Stranding was a perfect game for me going in with very low expectations. It's a masterclass in showing indie developers how to indie like a triple a.SteveJobs

The long-awaited PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn is pure fucking rickety garbage held together with seagull shit and pubic hair.
It plays absolute merry fucking havoc with your GPU - it actually managed to destroy Firefox *and* the Adobe Creative Cloud do-dah that runs in the System Tray; which was a new one for me - like, in all my years using computers I have never seen that one before or even anything approaching it. Outstanding!
So it starts with numerous crashes on startup while it compiles the shaders. Ok, other games do that - saves time in the long run compiling during the game itself. Cool. No problemo. Wait! No! The game then decides to throw bizarre CPU / GPU bottlenecks that can't be immediately diagnosed unless you are actually a computer yourself and can speak in binary. Even then the resulting answer would be just a long fart noise and a crude drawing of a dog's penis. Graphical options that appear to make no discernable difference to the image quality other than you can make the grass nicer while tanking the framrate into the low 30's? Not forgetting framepacing issues all over the fucking shop that turn the characters into a cross between Max Headroom and Bill and Ben on Mogadon.
Holy Christ. Just... a monumental piece of digital fuckery. My PC is a few years old, but it has a workhorse i7 and a 1070 - waaaaaaay more than the original PS4 game was designed to run on and enough for the basic operating specs, yet it just shits the bed with enough shit to fill a kingsize inflatable matress.
Death Stranding, which uses a revised version of the same engine, can run on a fucking clockwork potato and Guerilla are no slouches when it comes to pulling performance from lowly hardware.
Just avoid it. Watch the recent Digital Foundry video to see some of the things I am talking about, but with less swearing and in a polite German accent.
- haha that was a fun read. Sucks on your end tho.dopepope
- haha, a wonderful read!Nairn
- Fucking ace game though if you ever get it to workscarabin
- "if you ever get it to work" ahhasted
- Well i played through it on ps4 pro so didn’t have any issues. The DLC is fun, tooscarabin
- I got it to run without crashing every four goddam minutes and spedrun through the goblin intro and made a save. Fuck knows how though. Magic?face_melter
- I played it on the PS4 so I was looking forward to revisiting it, especially the late game. But the frame stuttering is jank. Primo gold jank from QVC.face_melter
- i'm going to try this on my 2y old i7 with 2x1080 8g, me hopes that it's going to crash af :Dsted
- The crashes are amazing, you might be in for some extra-special fun with 2 GPU's :Dface_melter
- It will be patched I hopeernexbcn
- This, sadly, is the case of many games that arrived on console first. RDR2 wasn't this bad, but there were tons of glitches on release.section_014
- Best game review I’ve ever read. PlusonenoRGB
- It has some really annoying features like: loads "shaders" for 15 mins. constant stuttering/jitter during the cutscenes (wtf its just playing a movie or not? )sted
- and when u enter some big fight at an area with lots of details fps drops down sometimes to 10!%. sheet i looks nice, but I lost my patience after an hour.sted
- i'm going wait for that patchsted
- I did some checking and if you use the SpecialK limiter tool it reduces the stutter - not completely. The shaders thing is part of DX12 / Vulkan.face_melter
- It compiles them before the game loads so it doesn't do it during gameplay and cause problems, especially for open workd titles where everything streams in.face_melter

Steam first and iOS to follow?!

- Can I play it without VR?drgs
- VR only is lame.section_014
- fingers x they allow us poor folk to play it on a normal computerGardener
- nope, it's VR only, they said on an interview that the whole game is made for that, adapting it would be a different (and worse) experienceernexbcn

We were thinking of the best time to release our game on Nintendo Switch and couldnt think of any other games that would get in the way of potential press if we dropped it on Oct. 25. So here it is!
- Bought it, nice work!prophetone
- kewlo. good luckdocpoz
- did you get the license first or after the game was made?docpoz
- def had license first. we put a design proposal and stuff together to try and win them over and they were down!mantrakid
- interesting. thanksdocpoz

No Man’s Sky’s next major update is coming in July, and it’s bringing a much-anticipated feature to the game: online multiplayer.
- mehmekk
- ^^ yep.section_014
- From what I’ve seen of the game, it needs a shit ton more than multiplayer online to be a game at all.monospaced
- Fly around and look at things? Find resources so you can keep flying around? What’s multiplayer adding to this dismal experience?monospaced
- From what I understand of it, 'dismal' is in the eye of the beholder - there's a lot of people out there that love NMS, even in its first format.detritus
- Problem was the hype balloon over inflating and disappearing over the horizon of sense somewhere, leaving many people expecting something completely differentdetritus
- Too much hype and under deliveredpango
- I dunno, it's a pretty amazing indie game. Sony fucked up and promoted it like some massive AAA title.inteliboy
- Feel sorry for the Murray guy. He's borderline genius but got the wrath of idiotic gamers sending him death threats.inteliboy
- I'm going to give it a another go, from luanch to where it's heading - almost two different gamesBluejam
- never bought the game due to its over hyping and under delivering but having multiplayer and co-op might redeem this gameernexbcn
- no, detritus, it was the blatant lying of the devs about the content of this game.mekk
- I love this game, it is an explorer game, new updates added a lot more to it since launch, worth a second lookfeel

- Hope this has VR support!mutanthands
- awesome!helloeatbreathedrive
- Lol. Silly.docpoz
- Sickening. Bunch of white devs punching down at something they don't understand. Fuck off.e-wo
- Yeah this is bullshitcannonball1978
- Their twitter makes them look like a decent wee game co. I wonder if this was an in-house joke that just spiralled? Lots of weird commentary games on Steamdetritus
- ..i wonder if they were just making a point?detritus
- eg. https://motherboard.…detritus
- They're not making a point. They are banking on controversy and Steam chuds buying it 'for the lulz' to make money. There's no message or conscience.face_melter
- This game is too ridiculous for me to get mad at. Are murder simulators not worse?docpoz
- "worse" isnt the measure of the crimes portrayed in the game but the attitudes towards themcannonball1978
- Heeeyyyy... a thing of the day to be offended by. Can't wait to see what offends people tomorrow.ETM

Also this finally came out like a day ago. Anyone playing it yet?
- I love the concept, but some of the game play I watched online didn't really inspire me to buy it.section_014

- Maybe i’ll wait thenscarabin

Is elden ring that great or is it just hype? Dark souls never really grabbed me and i have 300 other games to get through
- Not sure. But all the new world players on my steam switched to Elden ring.pango
- Could well not be for you if Dark Souls wasn’t. I think RR Martin + Fromsoft is causing meltdowns for certain enthusiasts.MrT
- I’m considering Elden Ring after Red Head Redemption. But I’m not a big fan of the ‘too hard’ basket...MrT
- It's the best souls game. The other ones were rough as if you were stuck on a boss, you just had to will through it, orrobotinc
- farm souls to level up. This one is so huge you can just go explore somewhere else. It's a massive, beautiful, hard worldrobotinc
- It's a fun, infuriating, depressing worldcannonball1978
- I largely avoided FromSoft games until now. Tried BB for a couple hours and uninstalled. Decided to give ER a go and it has become one of my favorite gaming...duckseason
- ...experiences in recent memory. It takes a bit to get used to, and to figure out the systems/mechanics. As robot said, if you get stuck, you can just turn in..duckseason
- ...another direction and do something else. There are also lots of ways to overcome the difficulty, whether your build, multiplayer, summoning npcs, farming etcduckseason
- That being said, it did take a few sessions, and starting over with a new class after 6 hours, for things to finally start clicking for me.duckseason
- Sounds fun. I’m a big fan of their armored core seriesscarabin
- try a hemmorage build. I can 3 shot most, if not all bosses. best fromsoft game IMO. the level design and voice acting are in a class of their own.kaiyohtee
- I tried, I couldn't get into itGuyFawkes
- I have 150 hours in, and I dont even think Im near the end of the game. They made co op stupid fun. I spend entire days helping others.DRIFTMONKEY
- also, bloodborne is arguably better than dark souls—except ds3). the control is amazing and rewards aggressive game play.kaiyohtee
- As duckseason said, it's been my favorite gaming experience in recent memory. Lots of RPG elements, a stunning world to explore, and so many secrets to uncover.elahon

Hey pals,
I wanted to reach out because we’ve recently announced our Sci-Fi Synthwave Tank Arcade game “Nuke Zone” and we’ve been trying to improve wishlist conversions from traffic that arrives on the Steam Store page.
https://store.steampowered.com/a…
Was curious if you had 5 minutes to check out the Steam page and let me know your first impression / gut feelings? Does the game seem compelling? Is the preview video / trailer good? Are the text and visuals interesting / encouraging?
Any advice, props or critiques warmly welcome & happy to return the favour if anyone else is looking for the same for any of their projects!
Thanks,
Nate <3- full controller support.
meets my standards! :)GuyFawkes - added to my wishlist, the only thing i notice is the page looks bare without reviews, categories and achievements on the right ...to be expected. and thekingsteven
- thumbnail seems a little off with the style of the game and like there's too much going on. i wouldn't expect the game to look as good (à la arcade cabinet art)kingsteven
- it looks much better in the listings so i imagine that was for legibility there...kingsteven
- Sweet, thanks for the feedback kingsteven and GuyFawkes!mantrakid
- WTF is this?! Tron?!
I LOVE IT!grafician - So rad, dude.DRIFTMONKEY
- Just posted this on my twitter man, good luck!grafician
- fuck that's cool i'm begging u make this multi. it deserves that.sted

Valve announce new Switch-like Handheld platform, the 'Steam Deck'.
https://www.steamdeck.com/en/
https://store.steampowered.com/s…- Wonder how it feels. Ergonomics look questionable.SteveJobs
- gettin' that shitGuyFawkes
- Oh wait, just realized the emulation potential. Yeah, this is prob a must buy.SteveJobs
- so many questions... how is the battery life? does it overheat? are the joysticks replaceable (nintendo switch was plagued with joycon drift)?Milan
- Given it's Valve, I imagine the hardware spec ill be very well thought out and developed. The question is how successful they will be pushing it.Nairn
- ..although unlike locked-in platforms, it'd not be the end of the world if they didn't follow it up - it'll still function as a 'handheld gaming pc'.Nairn
- Want!scarabin
- got my reservation!mantrakid
- Marvel of tech, full desktop into an handheld, running Linux even!grafician
- IGN made a video about it:
https://youtu.be/oLt…Nutter - 720p seems a bit odd given the size of the screen, and the year?kingsteven
- and the aspect ratio is 16/10. also peep that bezel. guess these were part of cost-cutting measures?SteveJobs
- 1200x800 @ 60fps sounds goodgrafician

Sony has delisted Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. They are also giving refunds to those who want.
- Shots firedduckseason
- I'm keeping mine. It'll be a collector item in 20 years...ok_not_ok
- this is the first time this has happened to an AAA game?Milan
- I'm sure this game will be brilliant in 6-8 months. If anyone can fix it it's CDPR, but their reputation definitely took a hit.Milan
- delisted? until bugs fixed?NBQ00
- CDPR really not doing good with the PRNutter
- This is ET for the Atari 2600 all over again, isn’t it?Continuity
- Yes, except this time there are trillions of copies of Cyberpunk 2077 buried somewhere on the moon.SteveJobs
- Nothing like ET. That was the last gasp of a saturated market and Atari over-reached themselves, causing huge financial losses. CDPR made a bad product.face_melter
- What if the bugs are exactly how life will be in 2077drgs
- so dramatic, people need to relaxprophetone
