Quoting: AnzaNight Dive might want to do something. Wouldn't be first time for them to go digging in the vaults.

PLEASE NO. Let them dig around somewhere else, anywhere else, please does someone have a distraction for them? LOOK OVER THERE!

Finally getting to Weird West from my monstrous backlog. I'm loving the art style, the story (thus far) is interesting, and the powers seem pretty cool. I just dislike the combat so much. I REALLY wish it were turn based tactical instead, but as is, I find once stealth is broken, it devolves into "run around like a crazy person just spamming shots everywhere" which involves very little strategy or thinking, etc... Oh well, I'm still going with my first character, and having fun, so I'll keep on keepin on!

Quoting: GuestMicrosoft itself is on a firing bloodbath. Indeed, Microsoft's xbox division isn't doing great if rumors are to be believed. It seems that Microsoft will be going multiplatform and Gamepass will be relegated to xbox while most Microsoft games will be available on PC as well.

I've always been surprised that the xbox has existed for as long as it has in console form. It does SO TERRIBLE globally. I always thought they would just join xbox/gamepass branding together, kill the console, and just release stuff on pc (and maybe other consoles). But it just keeps living on.

NOOOOOO. My favorite all time series. Ugh. And another Embracer clusterbomb. How many studios does this miserable umbrella corp own? Every time I see their name I just think "stay as far away from this cancer as possible" as the only news I've EVER seen of them is closing / firings.

Wow .... it may have finally happened. I may have finally found a factory sim type game that I actually enjoy!!! Whoa. This genre always seemed like something that I would love, but almost every game I try in it always falls into two categories for me: too casual / simple, or the opposite: too complex / insane with the mechanics. I just spent some time in the demo for this game and wow, loving it!!! I love how there are no resources / time, no enemies attacking, no residents dying, etc etc. Just freeform building and optimizing. I love it!

Great news! I know what I'll be doing well into April and May. Absolutely loved the first one so will pour many hours into this. Been waiting for a very long time.

Can't wait for full release!! I played a bunch last year on one of their big beta updates, and loved the game. Felt the animations and sound could use some work, but hopefully that bit of polish will be there on release. At its core though its a really good game with lots of staying power.

I am definitely a SSF player in arpg's, so I would for sure be doing the Circle of Fortune. Also, I'm sure they addressed this, but I'm guessing there's some mechanism in place to prevent assholes from finding some super buffed item in the Circle, then quitting and joining the Bazaar, selling it, then going back to the Circle.

Pillars 2 is probably my favorite rpg I've played in the past 5 years. And I've played a LOT of rpg's. It was just sooooooooooo good. I am very excited to see how Avowed turns out. And I never did play Pillars 1, I just can't stand real time combat, so without the turn based mode implemented in PoE2, I just can't do it. Too bad because updates like this make me want to go back and try it, but ......... nope.

damn - I was really hoping that the genre would be renamed since it makes zero sense. As @tuubi said - not made nor played by boomers. I think it's hilarious that if I tried explaining this genre to my 80 yr old father who IS a boomer, he'd be so confused he'd want to immediately change the topic of conversation.

But alas, now that steam has done this, I feel its doomed to forever be stuck.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicFirst hint they provide is a dark image showing the RGB colourful lighting rings around what is no doubt the joysticks and already immediately I have absolutely zero interest in the device.

I'm sooooo completely over the overkill of RGB lighting in everything 'GAMERRRR!' related in the world of tech right now. Next PC I buy is going to be a black metal box and I'm going to shop around to find all the components I can get with the fewest number of lights possible, and any lights remaining after that, I'm going to black em out with permanent marker.

haha! I'm in the exact same boat my friend. Last pc I built in 2020 was with a bequiet matte black case. It's just a black metal rectangle with some vents in it, and that's it. I love this case. It was kind of sad though, a LOT of the other components I had to manually go turn off the garbage RGB I didn't even know they had. Both the ram I bought and the mobo had defaulted on blinky nonsense that was so irritating. I had to go into the bios and disable it.
