despite Runic closing Torchlight's not dead (site says it's from the creators of I & II) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xj6OGVIKTM sounds mmoish, bone/ps4/pc Torchlight Frontiers combines the heart of the beloved Torchlight series with a shared, persistent and dynamically generated world. In true Torchlight style, players will team up with friends and devoted pets to hack and slack their way through a vibrant world, discover ancient ruins of lost civilizations and brave dungeons filled with riches and dangerous creatures.

Is there any way of making steam be offline by default when you run it? I have settings -> interface -> taskbar preferences -> offline checked. I can't see any other options?

If you mean for your friends list you can go into the friends settings (which aren't under regular settings anymore they're under your friend list) and turn "sign into friends when steam client starts" to off. If you mean for steam itself, you can't always start in offline mode. You have to login at least once previously before you can then restart in offline mode. Steam forces you to do this to check your credentials and needs to refresh that every like week or month or something. edit: you also could just disable your internet for a moment when you start steam and then re-enable it later but eventually steam will make you login for a bit to check your credentials. The -offline parameter for the steam executable was disabled years ago. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Aug 9, 2018 |

For people not reading the monster hunter thread: Based on reports from the Chinese version which is out now, the game's denuvo implementation or something makes the game unrunnable on any CPU that doesn't support FMA3 instructions. Basically if CPU-Z doesn't list the instruction set, it won't run. This includes the common i5-2500k and even CPUs over the game's minimum spec. Allegedly this happened to RE7 and was quickly patched, but MHW may not be playable for a lot of people until it's patched. No one here has verified this but be warned.

For offline mode just go Steam --> Go Offline. Then every time you start Steam it will open with a pop up asking if you want to go online or stay offline. You can stay offline indefinitely with the only catch being that you must have launched a game once in online mode to be able to play it offline.

Just to crosspost, the distributor of the game in China has already announced they've got a fix for this that's going up before their launch, so if it launches with the bug in the rest of the world I don't expect it to last very long. Still frustrating that it exists at all, obviously.

Take note of this week's FPSummer entry, because it's extremely indie and extremely good. The developer was nice enough to give me a copy yesterday and I liked it so much I beat it the same day. It's also a current Weeklong Deal for like $3 and change. FPSummer 1. Bunker Punks 2. Far Cry 3. E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy 4. Immortal Redneck 5. Rise of the Triad 6. BioShock Remastered 7. Crysis 8. Hard Reset Redux 9. Far Cry 2 10. Sanctum 11. Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death 12. Crysis Warhead 13. BioShock 2 Remastered 14. Receiver 15. Blood and Bacon 16. Far Cry 3 17. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood 18. BioShock Infinite 19. Prey 20. Call of Juarez Gunslinger 21. Crysis 2 22. Burial At Sea - Episode One (DLC) 23. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 24. Sanctum 2 25. Day One: Garry's Incident 26. Totally Accurate Battlegrounds 27. Shadow Warrior 28. Burial At Sea - Episode Two (DLC) 29. Medal of Honor 30. Overload 31. This Strange Realm Of Mine    Setting a game in the ever-twisting landscape of the mind might seem like a copout to some, and indeed there are plenty of games that squander the opportunity. Journeys through mental constructs can draw from nigh-infinite possibilities, but they still must mean something tangible to the player. This Strange Realm Of Mine gets that, it gets it incredibly well, because each of the pocket worlds you visit has a purpose and a part to play in the overall narrative. It might get a bit lost in all the word salad surrounding the main course, but there’s enough meat to this game to make it worth digging into. You’re dead, as it so often happens, but death is no end for a beautiful mind such as yours. Emerging from darkened halls of bizarre horrors you find yourself in a tidy tavern, a safe haven within your roiling thoughts. The proprietor, Ulrich, is all too ready to guide you in your journey of self-discovery and doubt. Along the way you’ll meet several important figures across the many realms of your mind, and even befriend them if you’re of a sociable persuasion. Pretty much everything else in your path is there to be shot, and fortunately you have a fine little arsenal of firearms to make that happen with. It’s important to clarify that TSROM isn’t a first-person shooter in the traditional sense, but rather an adventure (or even walking simulator) with strong FPS elements. The strongest of these is your arsenal, which includes a pistol, uzi, shotgun, and rifle. You’ll generally be limited to just one or two of these per world but each is an absolute joy to fire. The sound is heavy and meaty, the weapon kicks with appreciable force, and your foes crumple into blood-spattered piles after only a round or two. There’s locational damage so aiming high can save you bullets, and a realistic reloading system that discards unspent rounds when changing magazines so you’ll need to count your shots. The real takeaway is just how gratifying it is to shoot things in this title, despite the emphasis falling on the story and environments. And the environments certainly don’t suffer for the comparison, because each is a colorful and creative slice of dreamscape. You’ll explore dingy streets ruled by ratmen, a Minecraft-esque floating archipelago, a stranded starship, and far stranger places as you progress. Your tasks won’t exclusively be shooting either, as 2D platforming and shmupping will make some welcome appearances. There was one bit in the Minecraft world where I was charged with chopping down eight trees for wood, which was a bit too on the nose for me but immediately after I was sent on another errand that ended far differently than I expected. And my reward was a raft ride down a channel of peering eyes and grasping hands. While exploring the compact dream worlds to divine their symbolism and murder their less-friendly denizens is a fantastic bit of fun, the actual story parts are a bit of a mixed bag. The game has a strong poetic bent that comes out in the loading scene lyrical quotes and philosophical musings of the characters. Honestly you’re going to get far less story from the NPCs than you are ruminations on the nature of consciousness and the boundaries of the universe. Don’t get me wrong, some of these talks are pretty interesting and even a bit poignant, like the girl who details her social anxieties. But by the end of the game they’ll be prattling on about the heat death of the universe and grappling with one’s ego. I kinda lost interest in the whole narrative side since there was no great denouement of the main character to be had. It’s not an issue that should distract hugely from your two to three hours of enjoyment given the strength of the game’s other features, so long as you approach it with calibrated expectations. And I strongly suggest you do so, because indie games with this sort of vision and polish are worth their weight in gold (if they weren’t digital downloads). The end result of the creative world-building and solid gunplay feels situated between classic DOOM and Anodyne, and that’s a space I’m very happy to see occupied. This Strange Realm Of Mine has proven to be a true diamond in the rough, a title of surprising depth and quality that nails that all-important fun factor.

So, I have wishlisted and purchased on launch day every single Zachtronics game since Infinifactory. You'd expect that Steam's all-powerful, increasingly important algorithm would perhaps pay attention to that little factoid, and yet, absolutely nothing hinting towards this game anywhere on the front page. Like, what on Earth is their algorithm good for if it can't pick up something that simple? If I didn't follow this thread, I straight-up would not know this game existed. I'm not, like, angry, I'm just flabbergasted.

Steam does not care that you missed this game, nor will it ever care.

The original Torchlight was very underwhelming full stop. I guess the first hour or two showed promise as the idea of mixing classic Diablo and Fate appealed to me, and there weren't many Diablo-likes around at the time, but the lacklustre powers and loot and dull levels made me feel like I'd had enough long before the final boss.

Not only do most people already use Discord, but at this point more people taking a crack at Steam's market share is only a good thing. Plus it'll include a universal launcher function that will scrape your machine for all available games and do the hard work for you, which will help take the sting out of using "yet another launcher".
