Quoting: ShmerlThey just released the game, surely it will be buggy (given the size of the game). They'll be fixing bugs for a year or more.That part I was pretty much expecting though. The thing that worries me more is what people have to say about the game itself. Especially those that took the time to write a more in depth "negative" review. All of those basically say the same things. The main story is pretty good, but deviating from it is not. The RPG element is pretty much nothing and the whole open world is pretty much an empty backdrop. And that is a far cry from what cdpr promised it to be and no so easily rectified with a patch.

Quoting: gbschenkelFor get some performance out of Cyberpunk 2077, check this thread:This one is actually pretty interesting. It seems to me that these sorts of values should be dynamic and based on the particular PC it runs on. They should also be different for the latest generation consoles. If the game actually does run on very conservative defaults, this says a lot about how badly they ran out of time.

You can now build a theme park online with others in Parkitect

I was wondering if they would be syncing up thousands of potential park visitors between all clients. This suggests that they didn't and rely on the same sync-by-identical-calculations-on-all-clients problem that plagues the Total War cross-play.

I need to put some serious time into this game if I ever hope to see all the content that they put in. So far I've been excellent at seeing the "dupes starving" content though. :D

Quoting: scaineThis game is superb. I absolutely battered through it in just 3 hours, but there's not a single bit of filler in there. Loved it. Hopefully this leads to more content via Workshop as I'm pretty sure there's room for some absolutely evil puzzles to play out!You can get a few more hours out of it by going through the challenge mode. There you have to solve the puzzles in a minimum number of pickups and jumps. Some of those do require some extra thought.

Quoting: bekoFirst time I hear about this shop at all. Still no idea where it was located. EST is a hint but that's it.Never heard of it either. The date format is a hint as well. The problem with US stores is that when you've added tax, shipping and customs fees, it's not really worth it. So not that surprising that US stores remain fairly unknown in Europe.

Oh no. Now I need to actually finish Wasteland 2! Where will I find the time? :shock:
Theme park building game Parkitect is getting 8-player online multiplayer

Quoting: ixnariDid the devs explain the multiplayer in greater detail anywhere? Asking because I want to get Parkitect on GOG, but if the multiplayer is gimped due to a reliance on GOG Galaxy, I'd rather get it on Steam.Says in the Steam announcement that they'll be doing a demonstration stream on Steam tomorrow. Seems like the right place to ask.
Steam Autumn Sale and the 2020 Steam Award Nominations are now live

Quoting: scaineHellpoint [External Link] is 30% off, which I'm quite tempted by.So far I'm put off by the controller recommendation. Since playing a 3d game with a controller will never happen for me, this may just break the game.
Quoting: scaineEagle Island [External Link] is 40% and I've had it on my wishlist for months. Now might be the time...]Thanks, had totally forgotten about this.
Quoting: scainePrey [External Link] is platinum, and they've recently removed Denuvo, which was preventing me from buying it until now. At 80% off, only £4, I'm picking this up, finally.Oh! Removing denuvo does indeed change things. Still, over my 5 euro general guideline of spending no more than 5 euro on a proton game. Seems that the pound price is better for this one. What would make me more hesitant is sending money in the direction of Zenimax.

Quoting: ageresI don't remember how it was in previous years, but now one game cannot be nominated in more than one category. My favourite 2020 game is Streets of Rage 4, it definitely suits for GotY, best coop, best visual style, best soundtrack and more. I haven't played much this year, and I'm not sure I can find enough new games to fill every category.I think they last year was the first that limited it to one category per game. I remember it saying somewhere that it was ok to leave categories blank.
