I don't use EGS and collect their freebies but it's pretty sad that I've collected more free games through Humble Bundle than Steam ever gave out. Cmon Steam! Hook Us Up Wit Dem FREE B's!!!!

I think whoever can release the damn game first should get rights to the name.

Just imagine the day of launch or after if you were the developers. It would of been like Obama sitting in the briefing room as they watch the Osama raid go down. They're just waiting for those first negative reviews to start pouring in as the sweat drips down the side of their face, lol.

That is quite a misleading title, at least how I read it. I read that they were GIVING AWAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES II, lol. I already have the first so no need for this but that's cool. I'll definitely pick up this eventually. I enjoyed the first. Not as much as I thought I would though. Felt like I was just grinding towards the end to get it over with but the beginning acts were nicely done.

Hopefully the sequel improves upon the original in enough areas to take it to the next level.

What is funny, is when we talk about these "other" groups that become radicalized when they are reading too deep into dark beliefs or ideas and that is when they're willing to perform some act of terror, etc. How about basically this occurring to thousands and thousands? How is it all that much different? You had a legion of drones show up willing to take hostages, kill if necessary, force the flipping of a fair election and then go home and go back to work. Wtf is wrong with this country.

Feel bad for them a tad. Here we had labeled CDPR as the last big AAA studio that is all about the customer's first. They did wonders with W3 and the expectations were too high for Cyberpunk.

I hope they can come out of this mess on top at some point because I still have faith that they can correct the wrong. I also want that Witcher 3 next-gen remaster! lol.

Though hey, all "gamers first" type companies fall eventually right? I feel Blizzard went down that path or Blizzard just got so successful that the corporation machine took over and they lost some of their magic.

Forgot all about this. I had it wish listed awhile ago but it must of been removed under my nose and I never realized it. I re-added it but still no option to buy it yet...

So my fam and I have been doing a lot of gaming lately, including L4D2. There are 4 of us, so one of the games I wanted to play was Evolve by this same studio.

Not related to this studio, but if you're on the lookout for a 4 player co-op game (works fine with 2 or 3 as well), my strong recommendation would be for Deep Rock Galactic.

I've had that on my Wishlist for a while. It has very good reviews and from what I hear is a blast to paly in co-op. I personally don't do much co-op games these days as my time is limited and I prefer to jump into a quick game and out but remember the blast I had in my younger years with games like these (L4D).

What's funny is, the idea behind Evolve was mostly a copy of "Natural Selection", a free half life mod. They literally took that idea and went ham with it but it probably was still weaker than the actual "Natural Selection" mod...

So the servers are offline, but you can host a server or even play single player with bots. Yet the game has been taken off Steam. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. Does anyone know the plans for this game?

Have you tried Warhammer Vermintide or Vermintide 2?

Not sure if you meant to quote the other guy looking for a lighter co-op game than the likes of L4D or Arma.

I honestly think Vermintide is just as bad, if not worse than L4D. The hordes are often and get so chaotic, all I feel I'm doing is holding down the button to swing the axe/sword and care barely see what I'm hitting. It's gets too crazy. I tried those 2 games and put some hours into them hoping they would be my new L4D fix but disappointingly they were not. I did love the medieval fantasy theme behind them as well as huge Warcraft fan in my younger years. Again, just couldn't get into them with all the choatic madness that sprang often.

I'm hoping this turns out great as a huge L4D fan. I poured countless hours into the original and part 2. My only worry is that it's too much hectic chaos to the point of arcadey. I've been getting those vibes from the videos I've seen online and if there was one reason I couldn't get into Killing Floor 2, it was that it just felt too arcadey and chaotic at times. Like L4D had plenty of nice moments where it's a bit quieter, zombies are just moping around or hanging around on the ground undisturbed. You could literally walk right past them or blast them if you desire. Then of course the moments of the horde came and it was that much more intense because of what could have been a more tranquil moment a few seconds earlier.

I hope this has moments as mentioned above but from every gameplay video I've seen thus far, it looks like you literally hold down the fire button and that's it. I hope not though because the replayability of L4D is what made it so great.

This is an interesting game and I want to get further so bad but I've been stuck pretty early on and it's crazy frustrating. I got dino's constantly breaking out of cages and it drives me nuts trying to tranq/repair fence, and get them back in the cage.

The graphics are real good though and dinosaur animation is phenomenal. Sound is perfect from the movies.

This is cool. I like how they're keeping it pretty hush hush and when it's ready, they'll just drop news that it'll be available to buy in a month or two. I soooooo wish a lot of developers would learn to do that also. I know the hype train is a thing, but it creates so much anticipation and hype that cannot possibly be delivered (ahem Cyberpunk).

Side note, anyone else kind of rewish for a visit back to Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends? A remaster would do. I had some memorable times with that game back in it's hayday.

The funny part is that it probably already felt like a scam 7-8 years ago, but here we are 10 years later... I mean seriously. If you got scammed on this one, it's on you completely and I in no way feel bad about it. You can't buy intuition!

rofl. Imagine that? A genius idea to get EGS installed onto millions of PCs that they can secretly harvest the usage for their own greed, needs? Sounds like the plot for the next James Bond movie!

"But Sir how do we get it installed on millions of PCs?? Why, you simply give tons of cheap games for free. Never fails! Muwhaha!"

Well, for what it's worth, I'm not part of this harvest plot because I've never had EGS installed.

Someone mentioned it right. This dude Roberts is gonna be dead before this game is done. He'll have enjoyed all the hookers and blow he could off your crowd sourced funds. Then he'll be laughing in grave at what a great life he had on your dime.

This was a very unique experience. Already beat it on Steam but totally worth it if you haven't played it yet. Very enjoyable game for whatever 2-3 hours it lasted. For some reason it gave me Half Life vibes at times. The ending segment is totally worth the trip.

KFC is a PR machine. They do outlandish things like this. If you haven't heard of it, there is a KFC short movie on Lifetime called A Recipe for Seduction. It's very campy and they played it as a serious drama.

You're right. This was listed on the front page of Yahoo as, KFC just made a console more powerful than the PS5, rofl. If that doesn't grab attention, I don't know what will.

To think.. they didn't build a console, they built a PC... That's it. Shocking.

Wtf thought this was a good idea? How could anyone but the President/CEO of the company be allowed to get something like this approved? What the hell?

Yeah the sales suck. I almost feel like adding anything to your wishlist is working against us. If 95% of the Steam populate adds oh I don't know, Cyberpunk 2077 to their wishlist, THEY KNOW. That means either, let's never throw it on sale for a long time, OR, let's just throw in a 5% discount on it to see if we can entice any of those 95% to buy it with a measly 5% discount.

Wishlists seriously allow them to probably decide how much and when to discount games based on research. Do players that had it wishlisted buy it for a small discount? For a large discount? For no discount? As they compile the numbers, it gives them their plans of how to discount future games. I think it was Amazon who said it best, like once they have the data (of the people shopping with them), they can control everything, lol.

I ended up picking up "people playground" for like 1 dollar, lol. Of all the things on my Wishlist, it's the last thing I expected to buy. Though yeah, the rest of the sales suck so I'll wait.
