bjoern_tantau, to games in The original Resident Evil (1996) has been rated for PC in Europe. Resident Evil was technically already released for PC in 1996, but it's not actually available via Steam or any digital market place.

Huh? I distinctly remember playing that game back then on my PC. Or at least the demo. Hated the controls. So it should be available in some form.

mindbleach,

Yeah, CD-ROM for Windows 95. But not on any digital storefront.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Probably not from Steam or other digital marketplace. Most likely you played off the original CD. I don’t think the original was distributed via floppy.

RightHandOfIkaros, to games in NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members. These Nintendo64 and Game Boy Advance games will be available later today: A Link to the Past Four Swords, Metroid, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Perfect Dark

Theyre doing Nightdive kinda dirty by putting Turok, which has a remaster that is nearly identical but with more natural button mapping, on their subscription service.

I don’t actually see why anyone would do this other than they don’t want to.pay like $20 or whatever to add the game to their library and would rather rent it.

RightHandOfIkaros, to games in RPCS3 (PlayStation 3 Emulator): Further SPU optimisations from developer elad335 have allowed for great performance gains on low end CPUs

Wish they would have said what CPU they used. What exactly do they define as a “low end CPU” that is 4 core/4 thread? How far back is low? An i5 4690k? Older? Newer?

Kelly, to games in Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy 20 million copies sold globally

Just a smidge more and they beat the original run:

  • Crash Bandicoot - 6.82 million
  • Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - 7.58 million
  • Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - 7.13 million
  • total: 21.53 million

I’m still salty about the one time they accidentally offered a 80 % discount on Steam but fixed it to 20 % while I had it in my cart.

hal_5700X, to games in Ubisoft: Yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development, and we cannot wait for you to discover more about Jade's past in the 20th Anniversary Edition.

Safe bet, it’s going to be a shit show of a game.

Psionicsickness,

Ofc it will be, Ubisoft is dog water.

Fuck!

Tyoda, to games in Ubisoft: Yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development, and we cannot wait for you to discover more about Jade's past in the 20th Anniversary Edition.

Not a great sign when you have to assure people that the game is still being developed.

Then again, we complain about games being rushed. Maybe it will be great!

(I know nothing about the franchise)

(I know nothing about the franchise)

The first game in 2003 was well regarded but a bit of a commercial failure. It was planned as a trilogy but people thought sequels might not happen

youtu.be/PXPsjvMlLOo

Then in 2008 this teaser about waiting was released confirming a sequel was in the works , since then Duke Nukem Forever has been released and BG&E2 now holds the title for “longest development for a AAA video game”.

If you struggle with buying too much stuff just because it is on sale: remember that when you don’t buy during sales and only buy what you want to play immediately, even full price, you are paying less overall.

BakedGoods,

Also NEVER pre-order, NEVER buy a game when it’s new. Wait until it’s finished (usually about a year after release).

theonyltruemupf,

There is just no point in hoarding. Whatever you bought and didn’t play immediately is gonna be on sale again. So either play it within the next two weeks or so or don’t buy.

illi,

Whatever you bought and didn’t play immediately is gonna be on sale again.

And often with even greater discout. So mny games I bought on sale because of courseI will play them, never did and are now available on sale for fraction of the price I paid

I’ll throw a caveat on certain things that get delisted…this is my biggest poison on Steam. Just grabbed Forza Horizon 4 because of its announced delisting in December.

Otherwise tbough, solid advice!

Mixed feelings on that since games that get delisted often get delisted because some critical servers they depend on are going offline.

I’m not sure if that applies to Forza … but personally the last thing I want is something that’s about to be delisted.

Blackmist,

Steam cured my addiction to Steam sales by making them rubbish.

tfw_no_toiletpaper,

Unfortunately, I cannot stop

MrScottyTay, to games in Steam: Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am

They’re still never as good as they used to be. I don’t think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

StitchIsABitch,

I miss the flash sales too but it’s worth it considering it gave us refunds instead.

Deceptichum,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

They could do both.

forgotaboutlaye,

I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I’m glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.

MrScottyTay,

Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they’re never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount

Aaaaand there it is, why they delisted the old games, they want us to buy the new version instead!
