Did any of y'all buy any games during this steam summer sale? I wanna get something, but I have no idea what I want, and the sale is about to end. I think I want to buy something indie, since I usually pirate AAA games.

I grabbed Tyranny and Pillars of Eternity 2, they're both under 10 bucks right now.

Space engineers, Tooth and Nail, Sunblaze, and Ori & the Blind Forest. Think it was about 20 for all that. Also blew all my points on emotes since I have a few workshop entries that've accumulated them over the years.

I bought an rpgmaker game I had mild interest in for like a $1.24 and that was it. I have too many games in my library I haven't played to care about sales at this point.

As a latin american, its always good when these companies care about localization,regional prices etc, back in 2022 if im not wrong the Latin american representative was fired, the reason? latin america is not "profitable" enough so they will focus on NA and EU, mind you these are the same people that say they value equality, if they arent getting money you aint worth a rat's ass to them.
Second, Matthew Dawkins a Freelance Writer and Developer for Vampire: The Masquerade, is racist prick, who thinks and writes all native people as "Savages" ( he is writing about the Abya Yala ) ill add the prints

TLDR: dont give money to fascist pricks who only care for money and parade you like a prize

Proletarians are paid for their labour power, not the product of their labour. Pirating games is not stealing from proles, it's denying profit to capitalists.

Anyone who will then turn around to say "oh but then the capitalists can't pay the workers!" are counterrevolutionaries.

i dont have my hopes up for this remake
Even tho the story of the game is already stablished, Bloober seems to not understand what psychological horror means, take for example the blair witch game, in the good ending you kill yourself, to bloober team people with trauma are so dangerous, they're better off dead, the solution to mental health issues to them is bullet to the frontal lobe, if this game is a "re-interpretation" of Silent hill 2, we can expect the most shallow portrail of mental health issues, that game has good portrayal of menetal health issues, and dont even get me started on the medium game and their portrayal of a survivor of sexual assault and how they handle that narrative.
and before people say "oh what about the in water ending"
Difference is that In Water is never stated to be the definitive solution to the Jame's situation.

In The Medium, you only have one option and the game tries to hammer it in your face that its the only """""logical""""" way out. Even the achievement for beating that game acts like its a definitive solution to the topic, which is gross and irresponsible.

Considering Bloober Team already doesnt understand, or willfully changed the main character's behavior just from the trailers alone, do you REALLY think theyll handle the other characters and endings well?

 No.29054

Timely to make this thread when this article about Bloober's "next phase" dropped today
https://archive.is/ih1EO
>Layers of Fear was Bloober Team’s final psychological horror game. The studio didn’t advertise this fact, but behind the scenes, a switch flipped weeks ago: When the remastered and expanded Layers of Fear collection came out on June 15th, it marked the end of a phase that was known internally as Bloober Team 2.0
>Going forward, developers at Bloober will rely on action and player input to generate disquiet, and they hope that this nudge in creative direction will drastically expand the studio’s audience. This mechanics-first ethos was actually implemented internally in 2019, when Bloober began building the remake of Silent Hill 2 for Konami.
>“We decided that our next titles should be much more mass-market oriented,” Babieno said. “We’d like to talk with more people. We’d like to deliver our ideas, with our DNA, not by environment or storytelling, but by action. So all of our future titles will have a lot of gameplay mechanics. They will be much bigger.”

I do not have high hopes for it or anything Konami-related in general. That they outsourced it to some shitty sellout Polish indie horror dev instead of doing it in-house is tantamount to how much they barely care about the result as long as it sells. Fuck em.

 No.29190

I have disliked all of the recent slew of video game remakes by default, but the entire idea of remaking Silent Hill 2 is especially ill-conceived. It's famously aged very well and is generally considered one of the best games ever released, if not outright the best. Exactly what value is added with a remake? The only possible way it can go is down. Even if Bloober Team did everything right, it would almost certainly still be inferior to the original. And they are very unlikely to do "everything right", considering their middling track record and news like >>29054. Maybe the franchise reboot Konami is doing at the moment will have some positive effects by way of the other announced games, but the Remake is 100% a mistake just as a principle.

I liked playing the first one a lot as a kid. Wanted to make my own levels but they all looked like shit visually. I was really hyped for the 2nd one when I was in 5th grade but my fucking ps3 got YLOD and I didn't get a new one until I was in 8th grade and at the point lbp3 was going to get released in a few months and I had lost interest in the series. I did try Dreams a few years ago and it's really impressive, but obviously doesn't have the same feel that lbp did. I think MM kinda reached the limit with their "create a game within a game" shtick since Dreams is stuck between being too complicated for the layman to make anything impressive with while being too limiting and not worth the effort for those that do have the skills to make things beyond a one off game or a few prototypes when they could be using an engine that gives them more freedom over what they make. On top of being limited to the ps4/ps5 it just becomes a niche game with a small community that doesn't compare to lbp in its heyday and

I'm getting sidetracked. I really liked bomb survivals even though they were repetitive and low effort. Still remember acing the bunker and getting the square guy costume and having people online ask me how the fuck I got it and feeling like top shit.

The music was mint and it was honestly a very fun platformer with plenty of customization options.

Hi, My name is Zachary Zacharias, and I am the zookeeper at the zoo here in Goron City, and I'm here today participating in the fundraiser. Our zoo is greatly in need of some additional resources to help house and feed the animals, and continue to provide a wonderful opportunity for the children in the city of Goron. To help me here today, I've brought one of our animals with me. This is Tommy Turtle, from the zoo. Tommy is one of the outstanding attractions that many children come to see here. Obviously, they feed Tommy, you can see how large he is. He is far beyond the size of an ordinary turtle. In spite of the fact that he seems well fed, most of our animals are not, and we do need addition help buying food and helping to shelter the animals. So I'd ask you, please, if you're here in Goron City, just stop by the zoo, say hello to Tommy and some of our other fine animals, and we'd appreciate very much a donation to help us keep the zoo going. Thank you!

The game in some ways does feel like d2 or even like d1 in some moments. What matters for diablo, well really for blizzard in general, is a shift away from power creep and convoluted rpg progression.

Bethesda did this with oblivion and Skyrim and now blizzard is doing this with dragonflies reduced level cap and diablo 4s progression and combat mechanics. Things like 100+ level caps, damage in the millions being seen casually in endgame content for either games listed, enemy spam, and more are visibly gaining attention from the studio as legitimate problems to these games and I'm hopeful for where they go. Personally I hope they fix the awful crafting and profession system of wow to make gold a primary resource for crafting materials and just scrap professions all together since even hardcore players barely understand their purpose

That's how I felt about Skyrim, poe, d2 and Morrowind

This is a symptom of the verticle progression tied to many rpgs especially hack and slash titles. You get boring combat with increasingly meaningless stats as the game progresses. Most normal games especially fps titles like far cry 2, hl2, ori, Rayman legends, rain world and many more have far more interesting gameplay because verticle sxaling is toned down to a level that the developers can focus on other aspects of gameplau
