This kind of head-in-sand sentiment is the exactly what enables Evil to take hold. Fight. Resist. Never yield to fascists.

Fan-fuckin-tastic, see I never understood why they just treated nwn like a plain game when it came out, maybe it had to do with licensing, that's prolly the answer

but anyway, what they should have done since they created the framework (and the first campaign, while a 'game', was merely a showcase for the framework) to be so amazingly flexible was just pump out modules every week or month, big, small, medium, with voice, without voice, new assets

just like a regular roleplaying game book would come out and be a basic framework, and then they'd release adventures and settings and things, that's what i thought they were going to do at the time but... no, always seemed like a wasted opportunity

but i'm glad beamdog is capitalizing on this, i hope it does well

Eyes of War is a medieval era RTS that lets you get up close and personal with third-person controls

>but wow for me that is like the antithesis of the whole genre

It makes me think of and miss Savage a whole lot, infact something like this but with a Savage premise would be amazeballs. Why don't we have that?

EDIT: @eldaking, I can't find how to properly quote a post with a button, are posts not quotable anymore? :s

Tangentially related: Epic recently also announced they'd stop player trading on dec 5 in rocket league, they'd prefer if you bought items directly from their 'shop'.

I'm sure I'm lacking all the knowledge, but could someone explain how it's possible for something to be deck verified and only protondb silver? It seems to me like there should be plenty of overlap, and if it works well enough to be deck verified it should be higher rated...? I dunno.

Overwatch 2 becomes the worst user-reviewed game on Steam

Quoting: Lolo01I'm torn between positive and negative reviews.
I have played over 2000 hours of OW and OW2 and am still playing.
So I'm enjoying the game.
So I don't know *anything* about the first game or this one, from what I understood (which is probably wrong) it was taking the unique hero + abilities from the moba genre and put it into an fps in classic modes like dm, ctf, control etc.

I understand they have some microtransactions, but have no interest in really spending any moneys on this game, would it still be enjoyable, would you recommend it for someone like me who has no nostalgia, and where it has no 'grip' on me?

Skullgirls got review-bombed on Steam after some art changes
7 Jul 2023 at 1:13 am UTC Likes: 4

Man I bought skullgirls long ago but I haven't even played it, and after watching that comparison video, what the fuck kind of hentai shit did I buy!? And all the comments in this thread, holy shit. Maybe some of the devs grew up just a fucking tad, a smidge, and went "wow we put out some stupid shit back in the day, let's fucking fix that".

And all the people who complain about woke, wowzers, you guys need to refocus your energy into something that actually matters, like climate, police brutality, inequality or any of a thousand other worthy causes. Holy shit.

Huge Steam Beta upgrade with new overlay, screenshot manager & more
28 Apr 2023 at 10:20 pm UTC

Lots of people seem to enjoy it, but to me it just looks like steam overlay is trying to become a window manager. I locked my steam to the december 2022 edition so I can continue to run -no-browser, the removal of this command in 2023 was super depressing :(
