Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games
I thought we might like to have a Steam offers catch-all thread, and maybe even any general discussion about the service
Personally I don't like using mods that alter gameplay. The only StS one that looks interesting to me is the one that Baalorlord uses in his videos that lets you color code the paths. Incidentally he's awesome to watch and helped me unlock a bunch of cheevos. Finally beat the Balatro demo by leveling up Full Houses to like level 7 (Planet cards are the best imo) and combined wi
I've not played with mods, but I'm the same way -- the map colouring mod Baalor uses seems really nice. I also don't like to tweak gameplay, I guess I'm a purist in the sense I want to play the base game the way it was made by the devs. Right or wrong.
I discovered Baalor too and he's been quite helpful to get the hang of each character.
FF7 Rebirth Demo anyone!?
damn ff7 rebirth is going to be game of the year imo
What's the difference between all the FF7s? I'm a Final Fantasy newb. I figured they just went up in higher numbers...
I think I have FF7 Crisis Core and FF7 The Zodiac Age, maybe another one too
Seriously. I still don't have a PS5. At first it was because they were so hard to get, and then eventually I stopped caring about getting one.
But don't think I can put it off any longer.
A 4k monitor is only good if you can actually render games at that resolution at a satisfactory framerate.
It depends greatly on your personal preference and what you play, but of the two, if I were picking for myself, I would go with the LG.

So the plan is to have my PC and PS5 (when I get it) hooked up to the monitor.
I thought PS5 games were in 4k, but I know my PC doesn't support 4k graphics.
In the little research I did last night, it does sound like refresh rate is a little more important than resolution so it does sound like the LG is the way to go.
On the topic of free games - HoloCure - Save the Fans!
It's an unofficial game made by fans of Hololive. I don't know what Hololive is, and I don't 'get' the Japanese weeb stuff at all. It put me off at first, but it's free and the reviews were insane, so gave it a try.
I am addicted to Vampire Survivor, and similar games, and this is easily one of the best (well, most addictive) I've played, potentially even better than the original.
It's crap graphics, a bunch of creepy schoolgirl(?) characters, and probably a load of in-jokes that will never land, but great gameplay, creativity and progression.
One more run...
If that's the game I'm thinking of, I won't spoil it but just be warned it's fairly disturbing.
Sounds like the free version on epic spoils it a bit more than the original probably for those reasons.
Haven't confirmed that though.
I can't stop playing Tarkov these days - I tried it about a year ago and just couldn't deal with how complex and frustrating it was, but I tried it again a few weeks ago and I guess they must've done a lot of work on QoL and UI lately because it seems a lot more accessible now.
It's still brutally difficult and complex, but it in a more fun way. I have not enjoyed a game I'm really terrible at this much since Spelunky 2.
The "just one more raid..."-vibe is irresistible.
Balatro is a must-buy for anyone on this forum who likes roguelike games.
I'm waiting on DTD to get on a good sale, but I'll definitely get it.
Still hooked on StS. But I need to get more into Balatro.
It's legit amazing.
Initial impressions of Rebirth
It's HUGE! I think I spent close to 4 hours in Kalm alone just walking around and playing the card game. Combat is really fun as is just exploring the open world and collecting materials.
The one minor nitpick I have actually goes back to Remake and that's 95% of the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, but then in some places the textures look godawful and very flat.
I thought this would've been fixed on the PS5, but I guess not.
Wow, a new much better implementation of Family sharing! Family members can now play different games from one account. (I hope I'm reading that right)

That's cool. Surprised they've been able to get pubs/devs on board with this.
I'm sure the 1 year waiting period to move to a different family and max of 6 people was from developer pushback.
