Darksiders Remastered coming to PC as well?
I thought it was console only.
Wonder how much of a fuckup it will be this time.

listen to the mad man
What's the best game you ever got from modbot?

I mostly win bundle extras. Victoria II is pretty cool. Dark Sector. Hero of the Kingdom. Overlord II. Tengami. I really haven't won anything that's worth any money. Take out the couple hundred bucks in server costs over the years and I'm way in the red on ModBot, lol. About as successful as most of my business investments.

The difference that a slight upgrade in gear and leveling makes is even crazier than Oath in Felghana.

Also, imo it was really dumb to give the player a combat tutorial screen at a point when they likely have no weapons yet and fighting even the most basic opponent is suicide.

"Oh, so that's how this works? Alright, let me try it ou-" *DEAD*

Yep, I thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn't damage the first enemy. Luckily I asked here and someone told me to just run and get the sword in the next town, which I did. Great game, but starting it like that wasn't a bright idea.

If I need to move a game from one HDD to a SSD, what is best method?

Though I can download it prob in less then 30 minutes. Deleting games doesn't delete saves right?

Just move the game directory and the corresponding ACF file to the drive's Steam directory and restart Steam.

Actually
You dont have to fight
First u must find the vase which is somewhere in the north east or east area of the plains by a river side
Take it to the shop in minea and keep rejecting to sell it 10 times
This way he will buy stuff from u for 10% more
After selling it, buy the ring from him but only after u repeat the above step to get 10% discount

Take the ring to the bar in minea and talk to the trio of men to get some more gold
Now u have enough for
Tier 2 sword, tier 1 armor and tier 1 shield

As someone who is learning to speedrun the game you should avoid battling enemies until u get to minea and do the above steps

Also slaff will give u tier 1 sword if u talk to everyone in the starting village first then talking to him before leaving

He will giv u tier 3 sword for free after u save a certain someone if u return to the village and speak with him

Save files are stored somewhere else. There are some games that are stored in the same folder as the executable files though

Use GameSave Manager if you want to be sure. Although if you play a very unknown game then it might not be supported by GSM

Ys 1 is an amazing game, and so is Ys 2.
Also those soundtracks... :3

What do you *do* there? Just swim around enjoying the view / finding shinies? Or is there a story?

I don't think it has a story, I didn't look too deep into it, as I planned to play day one, so the less I know the better, but it is an exploration game.
OTOH, NMS has no story either, so what's the difference?

I usually take the long route of making a Steam backup of the game, deleting the old installation and then reinstalling to the new location with the backup.

Got it. No objections to having no story, just wanted to know because the screens look fantastic, but apparently worlds can be too open for me, I found my after-work brain appreciates some guidance.

but ABZU will be a relaxing game, I get those vibes from it, until you venture too deep, that is,
or attract attention of sharks.

It's dumb dumb dumb design to give you a combat tutorial at a moment when less than 23% of all players have ever even received the free shortsword! (According to Steam achievement stats)

"Here's a combat tutorial... but you should just fucking run to next town unless you have a guide in your lap"

I just deleted and re-downloading as a naked lady was yelling at me to join her in the shower.

Regarding moving Steam games between library folders, it's kind of surprising that Valve doesn't have it built in to the client, considering how simple it is to just move the files in windows explorer. Would save the hassle of looking up the correct acf file.


Or maybe it's not that surprising because it's Valve?
 
For some reason, steam stop launching, I get as far as logging into account and steam closes. No error messages in the logs I can see. Rebooting computer hasn't fixed it. Any ideas before I try a reinstall?

It's roughly a decade late, but this still makes me happy.

I still can't believe that PC is part of the logo in these cases.
Looks so tacked on, especially on Disgaea.
They should have figured out a good subtitle for them both that would also be a PC backronym, then I would approve.

Maybe in Japan it's called Disgaea Pasokon which sounds way cooler

Call it "Perfect Collection". Bam. Profit.
(It makes sense to some limited extent since the releases contain all the content of previous (re-)releases)

are you using steam's Beta Client? if so, disconnect from your network, and start steam in offline mode.

opt out of beta client, reconnect, then restart steam
