More Valve can't count to three news: there will be no 2017 edition of Steam Dev Days. No 2018 either. Did their VR set gain any traction?

Wow. I feel like I really wanted to play that game, but couldn't get into a beta or something, so I just forgot about it forever.

I heard Lawbreakers is having a free weekend and I'm mystified that it's not already F2P. It feels like if you're not Activision/Blizzard or EA, if you're making a multiplayer-only FPS it's practically suicide to not go F2P nowadays, aside from a few extremely rare exceptions like Destiny and PUBG.

And PUBG seems like what everyone was waiting DayZ to become so that market was already exposed, just waiting for the first breakthrough. What's going on with DayZ anyways? Has it collapsed under the weight of the Arma engine?

Yeah, the Vive is still pretty great and is generating a lot of sales on Steam. That's not actually made by them though, it bears the mark of HTC, we'll be waiting until their "Knuckles" controllers which include finger tracking and natural gripping/throwing until we get some official Valve VR gear.

This MMO talk reminded me that my favorite one, Grand Chase, had it's servers closed some years ago. I googled it just in case tho, and it appears it got a second chance! I might download it and try for the old times.

Also you mentioned the two companies that are really the only ones still making multiplayer fps games (dice/ea, activision) and they're doing fine. There are also several that are doing great (like CSGO and PUBG). I feel like a DOD2:GO would sell like hotcakes, or a Natural Selection 3 (2 was a pretty good hit and wasn't that long ago). As long as the game itself is good (or has mega name/brand rec), it'll sell. Xaris fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Sep 28, 2017 |

I know R6:Siege had a slow start but its quite popular now. Maybe only after they launched that cheap Starter Edition though?

Did Batman Arkham Knight end up good? Driving around in the car sounds rad, so $13 for the GOTY version seems a solid deal. I figure it's more of the same from the previous games, but I have to keep any performance issues in mind since I am still on a 660 GTX. The previous games ran and looked great.

I personally think it was fun as hell and they fixed the performance problems for most people, but keep your finger over the refund button in case you are not once of those people.

I like how the only F.E.A.R. that's worth playing isn't discounted at all. You can pay $10 for the good one, or $13 and change for the good one and its weird, muddled offspring, what a deal!

AK is fine, just like with the other games turn off the Nvidia special FX bullshit. Skip the collectible busywork once you're sick of it all and watch the not so secret real ending on youtube.

The batmobile is also very front loaded. It gets routinely used, but the meat of the game is still on foot, punching dudes.

It was strange that they made the Batmobile a bullet hell game. I had some sound stuttering on my 970, but it performed decent most of the time. It's also the first Arkham game where I didn't collect all the trophies. I looked up the SUPER REAL ending on Youtube and was glad I didn't spend the time.

I think Arkham Asylum and City are the only games since Banjo Kazooie where I actually got all the collectables. City especially actually made them fun.

I thought the Batmobile was pretty fun when it was the Batmobile but not as much when it was the Bat-tank.

Apart from the perfomance issues and the riddler challenges Arkham Knight is an improvement on the previous one in every way. The Riddler challenges just seemed really lovely compared to the kind of neat traversal ones of City and the perspective puzzles of whateverthefirstonewascalled. The Predator sections especially feel fantastic in Knight.

Everything about the marketing strategy for Lawbreakers made zero sense to me. It chased after some pretend demographic of hardcore gam3r with 'tude while also boldly proclaiming it was 2 fast 2 furious for all you other lil nubbins to compete. A wonder why it didn't sell well.

I didn't mind either side of the Batmobile stuff that much (though 1 or 2 of the Riddler races did suck to do with KB+M and there are obviously some missteps, ie, Deathstroke). It makes me sad that discussion of the car stuff overtakes all of the more interesting and cool poo poo the game did like the team-up system and the clever additions to both the predator and combat sections like the medics. I got a strong vibe from a lot of that stuff (also the DLC) that they were experimenting with lots of new ideas for the inevitable Justice League follow-up.

Deakul posted:The batmobile actually owns in AK. It was fun until you get near the end if you hadn't spent some upgrade points on the batmobile; you are likely to have a unfun time of it. I think the game was really good and worth playing, but they shouldve kept the batmobile on some separate upgrade point system because it's really easy to screw yourself at the end game.

Deathstroke in a tank was probably the worst decision that was made in regards to the Batmobile.
