one Shadowrun fans might like to take a look at
I did really enjoy the Shadowrun games even though I don't generally get on with RPGs.
So did I. But this doesn't look turn-based. Cool and atmospheric and all, but I'm kind of crap at combat games so this is probably not for me.
Yeah I went through a small roller-coaster of expectations. "Oh no they are making an RPG this time, but wait their Shadowrun RPGs were these great tactical games, oh no the end of the trailer suggests it is not even turn-based".
ha! Same exact here. Maybe just maybe it could be real-time-with-pause and also have a turn based mode similar to PoE2? Because like you all, I SUCK so hard at real time twitch action combat games. I will probably get it no matter what just to support this wonderful dev, but I do REALLY hope real time action isn't the only mode of combat.

A game I have had wishlisted for forever just released to 1.0 just in time for this fest! I highly recommend you try it out if you're a fan of the genre.

Square Enix invests in Playtron for their Linux-based PlaytronOS - first Alpha out now

Quoting: GuestBetween SteamFork [External Link], Bazzite [External Link], ChimeraOS [External Link], and all of the other open source gaming distributions out there, what will this one do differently?
1) Raise lots of money from hapless investors who don't understand any of what you just said

2) enrich the core few leaders of this scam company

3) burn through cash like it's the end of the world

4) go out of business

It'd be nice if we could just skip to number 4 and be done with it already.

I agree with everyone else here. This "company" reeks of scammy behavior, and being associated with nonsense "web3" crap just hammers that home.

Stay away. Stay as far away as possible. Nothing good will ever come of this.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will get Steam Deck support

I absolutely love the warhammer universe, so this is interesting, BUT ... it looks like this is primarily a multiplayer shooter? Is that right? It constantly mentions pvp and pve on the store page. If so that's fine, and I hope people enjoy it, but not for me. If it has some sort of solo single player campaign I'd be interested for sure. Gives me bigtime old school gears of war vibes.

Their pace of development is just wild. I don't know how they do it. For short bursts I can understand, but they seem to be able to maintain long term insane dev progress just constantly. I wonder if they have ever done behind the scenes on their workflows or environments or etc.

Deadlock from Valve no longer a secret - store page is up and we can finally talk about it

Quoting: Fester_MuddOh a Twitch category! Nice, but millions of people can't follow Deadlock on Twitch because Twitch have decided to limit the amount of games to follow as category. They haven't even indicated what exactly the limit of games is that you can follow as category.

You can only quit following games through Twitch mobile app and then add new ones. Dropping even 20 games won't do anything on desktop/browser [External Link]

Basically Twitch is a one big headache in so many aspects nowadays and they don't seem to care at all because they're ultra rich and there is no real alternative if YouTube is not counted. Kick is in such infancy its even worst than Twitch.
Twitch is DEFINITELY not ultra rich. They did massive layoffs earlier this year plus they have never made a single penny as a business. They obviously do have amazon as a backer, but without bezos at the helm, lots of projects are looking to be sold off / shut down. I'd say if there are shortcoming with the twitch service, it's not because they don't care ... it's because they don't have the resources to do much of anything.

a cartooney hero team shooter. :sick:

I guess they know exactly what demo they're going after. Knowing Valve, it'll be extremely polished so I hope people can have fun in it! I do wish someday they'd do a proper rpg. Just thinking about the quality they could do in that genre is mind bending. But seeing as the pace of development at Valve seems to go in super duper ultra slow motion, i'm not holding out much hope.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard devs talk up their PC features, optimisations and Steam Deck verification
24 Aug 2024 at 4:30 pm UTC

Everyone pretending like the game is already out and they know exactly how it plays and feels. You all have zero clue ffs. All you've seen is some youtube trailers, and how many times has a game come out that's nothing at all like those (both good and bad sides).

Quoting: LungDragoMaybe I am just a hopeless centrist but I do believe the most prudent decision is to just wait and see with cautious optimism. It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised for a change.
This is the best mindset.
