LOL

soon every AAA game will be released with 1 gameplay feature with the rest placeholders and the entirety of it will be parcelled out as paid DLC

Game releases will be called "early access" and the term alpha, beta, and 1.0 will be memoryhole'd

Not 8 but similiar to me, it's not that bad

Perhaps it doesn't count refunds?

niche games aren't popular to the masses. i don't know what you were expecting. millions of people to go and buy dominions 4?

I have that expectation every time, starting with dom3.

I am still sure it will happen one day and we will get actual multiplayer

...

Goddamn foreigners need to get off my board.

Anyway, not that bad. I expected far worse. No Man's Sky is probably the worst one on the platinum list, but the rest was pretty obviously going to be up there. Fallout 4 may be shit, but people expected it to be good.
No idea why so many people lopped onto the Division's train, though. Not a 'bad' game, just absolutely bottom bin of the 'average' tier.

This is why God doesn't talk to us any more.

Alpha, beta, and 1.0 will be terms for add-ons, so if you want music in the game, you better pay $20 for the alpha add-on.

Well, now we know it can't be salvaged, only burning it all down will save vidya.

...

Remember when steam sales had new sales every day and flash deals every few hours?

Guess that costed them too many shekels.

...

Probably a mix of whales buying/trading unusuals and the game not being 100% dead.

Honestly that was shit because you had to be always watching to get a particular game you want.
The current system is better as everything that is going to be a sale is for a few days gving you time to buy.

or it could just be a fucking logistics nightmare at this point in steams popularity trying to get in contact with all those companies to be like "ey we're trying to set up some cuhrazee deals here, wanna sell your game for 75% off for 1 hour on this day?" over "we're having a deal from this day to this day, you can set your own discount (if any) in our system"

There's only like four good games in that bunch, and they're all in Bronze.

Pleasantly surprised they're on a top sellers list to begin with.

Isn't Firewatch "I love my dead gay son" the game?

Honestly surprised that DOOM isn't higher and Mankind Divided isn't lower. How the fuck did Dota 2 make it into the top tier just on microtransactions?

Except steam has always had shit tastes in games its been like this every year the best sellers were always shitty games

That was "That cancer dragon", think firewatch is the one pixar-like trashcan where you fuck around solving a single 2deep4u murder.

They get a couple millions each Major tounament by now.
And have 4 of them per year.

I heard 2 was underperforming but I didn't think it was that bad.

CS:GO and DotA2 being in the top 10 should tell you all you need to know about Valve not making games anymore.

Video games were a mistake.

...

So rocket league would be good but the devs fucked up the game with their shitty lag compensation that ruined the physics and the cs:go tier skin system, also the jewish DLC
Stardew valley and rimworld might be good but that's based on what other anons said since i didn't play them so i'm unsure
Terraria is good
Euro truck simulator 2 is good although it also has excessive DLC
American truck simulator is literally an euro truck reskin that is sold at full price instead of as an expansion
Anons said xenoverse 2 was 1 but good, but i didn't play it (i did play 1 and it was shit though)

Overall consolefags get off my peesee gaymen reeeeeeeeeeee/10

Gotta give it to them - the game that singlehandedly fucking destroyed preorder hype deserves some kind of recognition. Shit sales of mostAAA in post-NMS era are the testament of that.

Explain to me this.
How did so many people fall for the No Man's Sky scam? If you looked at what they were actually presenting for 5 minutes. You couId see that the game would be massively underwhelming. I honestly don't understand. How can you be that "hyped" for a game without having done any research on it?

Who in the fuck actually spends money on this shit? And why hasn't Valve gotten sued for online gambling yet?

How is online gambling different from real life gambling?

Real life gambling is typically licensed out to companies by the government, who also have to pass several checks such as making sure the systems are fair and that people aren't getting ripped off.

It's the reason why if you start to put in your own slot machines without proper paperwork and procedures that your gambling enterprise won't last long.

You can only win worthless, digital items as opposed to real money.

At least W3, DS3, Rocket league are good games.

In theory it shouldn't be any different. In practice, there are laws against it because (this is my reasoning, I'm not 100% here) different states/nations have different ordinances about gambling, and so the question that would arise is "whose laws apply, the laws of the area that the gambling server is on, or the laws of the area that the player is connecting from?" Since there's no real standard that everyone agrees on, most governments (US included) just put a ban on online gambling for money entirely. That's why most online casinos only let you play for fake money.

The argument I've generally heard against why Valve's shit isn't gambling is because you always get a prize no matter what, but I find that to be a very gray area. If 90+% of the prizes are crap and worth less than the cost of the key, are you truly "winning" every time? There need to be some standards set before this shit gets any more widespread.

Yes, you can laugh at fools and their money being parted, but if this is allowed to continue, every company and their mothers are going to spend less time making games and more time coming up with ways to jew their customers.

This can happen even at a professional gambling place, except it's called losing money still. If I make a quarter bet and "win" a dime, I still lose 15 cents.

Didn't get anything out of this sale,

What's worth picking up?

Save your money, buy Bannerlord if it's good.

I wish I had your optimism.

whats it like being fucking 12?

...

I honestly dont know either

How did people not see the red flags?

It was made by a developper that made fuck all that could come even close to the scale of what the proposed for NMS. (They made some 3d side-scroller platformer shit)

There was very little information about anything. Gameplay, story etc. Nothing. Most of the interviews were Sean Murray babling on about infinite universes and shit.

3:35 in the video is a perfect example of how fucking retarded people can get from marketing.
"Sean Murray wouldnt like you." , like hes talking about some recognised, god of gaming, when he was a complete nobody at the time. And here this faggot is talking about " The Sean Murray himself" like hes John Carmack or something.

Video games have the most retarded audience of all media in existence

And yet they still refuse to localize DDO.

Fuck that game. I hope Terra Invicta or Xenonauts 2 show plebs how removing ayys truly is like instead of that casual piece of garbage.

There was no hope already long time ago, you pvssies are late to the party if you just now are realizing it.

Also could it be that NMS is "platinum" because it sold so well before being refunded out the ass?

...

And we already have a hot contender for the Best Goy Award 2017.

Pay real money in casinos = small chance of getting more real money
Pay real money on digital lottery for ingame items = small chance of getting worthless digital items
Stop being a fucking retard

I'm not actually one of the judges myself, you don't have to try to impress me. Also, those pixels can be cashed out to your so called "real money".

>Undertale
Good, it's still relevant so i don't have to drop it yet, 2016 truly was a great year.

Nobody cares about your opinions on currency. Whether you think it's 'real' or not, we all know you still use it yourself to buy food, water, and pay your taxes.

It's trivial to find other people that care about this specific opinion on currency. Neither you nor anyone else in this thread knows that in any meaningful sense. Are you physically capable of making a true statement? Try to make one in your next post as an exercise.

LOL!

Hiding behind philosophic nonsense won't change the fact that you're a massive hypocrite.

shouldn't you be shilling for Suits?

I've actually encountered this form of mental illness many times, and on this occasion searched for a cause while waiting for your remarkably slow mind to form its next inane response.
jneurosci.org/content/31/40/14308
It seems I have been trying to converse with people who literally have brain defects.

lol

Have you considered you're also a retard?

The fact that NMS is up that high shocks me, but at least people arent taking the game's blandness lightly as "oh its just an indie game". Also I'm shocked that Battleborn is still being outsold by Borderlands.

I didn't like it.

Also, just quickly, since your inferior mind can be emulated in mine:

-There is no meaningful difference between gambling with in-house currency before exchanging it for "real money" and gambling with pixels online before exchanging them for "real money". This invalidates in principle the distinction you attempted to draw.

-You shouldn't use words you don't understand. Hypocrisy very specifically is misleading someone about the ideals you hold. Even wikipedia will very specifically point out to you that not precisely following those ideals does not actually make you a hypocrite if you still believe them.

Of course. My individuation process is built on the eternal questions posed to myself: am I actually the retarded one? Am I actually the ignorant one? Am I actually the insane one? Decades of IQ tests and gifted units and scholarships and prestigious schools and top grades and outperforming colleagues suggests the first is wrong, consistent correct predictions suggests the second is wrong, and as for the third, I have the people that I interact with to constantly suggest that however little I think I know, they somehow find a way to know less. And don't get me wrong, I don't think this reflects well on me, I just think it reflects poorly on you.

MAKE A DAMN RPG IN THE OLD WORLD

To be fair though there was a pretty severe lack of good games this year.

...

Reported

Yeah, definitely retarded. Probably highly autistic, and not even in the good way

This is either autism or bait.

I can't actually take insults seriously from the same creatures that beg me for help on their papers, assistance with their work, and tips in games. It's one button or the other.

Don't guys you think valve is lying? Surely a massively bundled, disgusting shovelware game should have sold more than any of these

I still remember Boston Salt Party 1&2, good times.

The House always wins. Dumb are the goyim that keep falling in this scam, be it devs and consumers. And most devs just put this shit to keep getting money, independently of their support towards the product. Anyways, Valve's always gets the money first, giving steambux to the goyim.

What the fuck? But CS GO matches last like an hour. You can't just keep playing for 5 more minutes, either you play for "one more hour" or not at all.

You are aware that typicaly only the biggest retards, like yourself, have such an unwarranted sense of self-worth?

You wouldn't even be let into my building kiddo

Stop merely pretending to be intelligent

Enjoy your shovelware

Thanks this si interesting to read. Do you have a psychology grade?

But that's the thing, and I can't impress it on you enough: I'm not convinced of my own self-worth, I'm just convinced that nearly all of the rest of you are human shaped atoms in an indistinguishable biomass. I'm willing to indulge your assertion that you're involved in a lab, because I've encountered more than my fair share of complete invalids who have somehow managed to get tenure. Please enjoy this study to help your allegedly above average intellect to understand mine:

polymatharchives.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/the-inappropriately-excluded.html

You see, however clever you feel you are, floating around 120 or wherever, you are still too stupid to realize how much more clever I am.

I have to admit this year has been a giant turd for PC. Have consoles fared better? Honest question I don't pay attention.

At least Witcher 3 is platinum. The only one that deserves it.

...

They wanted to believe. It was the casualfags first "Spore".

Yeah, it's a you problem, not a me problem.

Not an argument you pretentious faggot

The arguments are over, illiterate user. It was trivial to win them. Now comes the part where I help you deal with your inferiority complex.

Or, are you all actually convinced that responding dismissively and mockingly to intelligence and attempting to label it as actually pseudo-intellect is an unusual and thoughtful response that nobody else ever comes up with? Do you really think your entire conversation behavior can't be fully described in very few words? That you aren't essentially chatbots wearing human costumes? I mean, if you actually think you're displaying creativity and sapience, let me know.

I'm pointing out your hypocrisy again, autismo.

How does it feel to be dumb? I am so much smarter than you that i can literally pee or open a jar with my eyed closed.

Well no, you just misquoted to turn one of my statements into an absolute statement, a strawman which is trivial to disprove by the necessarily extant exception, and you once again fail to actually understand what hypocrisy means.

...

Let's have a side-by-side for your simple mind, and you can play "spot the difference".
(Your "word for word" quote)
>I'm convinced you are all an indistinguishable biomass
(the actual quote)
>I'm just convinced that nearly all of the rest of you are human shaped atoms in an indistinguishable biomass.
The extremely important difference in bold for your convenience. It is both fascinating and tragic to see the behavioral aberrations your brain defects manifest. I think I'll end here on (11).

Daily reminder that you will never be as retarded as 1f4cfe.

Lol

i like the version that just keeps zooming in on the pip boy on that guys arm

Now this is a LOL thread

What worries me is that Warhammer is popular enough to sell Platinum
Is this why I see a slowly increasing number of died hair harpies at GW

Just by that alone this list is completely retarded.

Is it even good?

Pig disgusting.

Reading isn't your strong point, huh?

Honestly not as bad as I thought… but

Who the fuck is still playing that shit, honestly

I read it. I just think it's retarded considering the title of the list.
Go be a smartass somewhere else.

Since we're talking about (((Steam))) anyway, is there anything worth throwing my $4 in Valve Funbucks at? Not like I can spend it anywhere else.

EYE is on sale. If you haven't played it, buy into the meme. It's worth it.
Alternatively the original Killing Floor is nearly 4 bong. 2 might need some work but 1 is mature and fun. The multiplayer is a bit quiet though.

Had both for a while. I'm just hoping there's something worthwhile that I overlooked.

Good for the Stawdew Valley guy.
I don't think it solved any of the problems other harvest moon games have, especially the shitty character dialogue and lack of progression. But it was a nice game.
Although I hope he goes on to do better things, it's probably one of those one hit wonders.

TLGamer? Is that you buddy?

Magrunner and Deadcore are on sale, if you haven't tried them. Magrunner is like a harder Portal with a different gimmick and a lovecraftian tone. Deadcore is a FPS platformer made for speedrunning. They're both pretty good.

Killer is Dead is 3 bucks now. Neat shit.

Maybe that should tell people something.
It won't, of course. They never learn. Nobody ever learns.

Is it that f2p games are scams despite varying wildly in quality? Or does it mean that more games need to be free to play because it gets you the money regardless of people buying it and you don't have to worry about pirates or retail places taking a cut of your profits?

I don't know about War Thunder but the others are some of the most generous games out there. Smite gives you the option of buying everything for $30 but it gives you so much money just for logging into the game that you would only ever buy skins. Warframe doesn't even have anything worth buying and preys on idiots buying the latest gear to save 3 days of build time despite sitting on mountains of materials. PoE is all cosmetic stuff and bank tabs, I think. Tree of Savior is really shit in every way but you can only unlock cute outfits through the cashshop and everything is horrifically bland and normal looking otherwise.

If the fedora cringe wasn't obvious enough…

He's a redditor from /r/iamverysmart

People get pissed because they know the fedora tippers are right

...

This.

homosexuality isn't right.

Can you emulate my sober mind when I get shitfaced and then communicate with hot chicks for me ?
that would help a lot.
I dont want it for free !

Wew lad

...

I blame all the weirdos who are cappable to get off to the sex mods

...

It's amazing that every single thing there is a lie.

Every date has E at the end meaning estimate. They're literally pulling these number out of their arse. VR gaming at 8bln is a 2020 estimate ffs.

Didn't realize the Underground Man posted here.

How the fuck LoL is more popular than Dota 2? It literally has heroes behind the paywall.

...

even more casual gameplay, appealing style (more naked chicks) and easier to learn

Apparently dota is seen as a super hardcore game among normalfags and that scares them away.

I agree with most of those picks

Who could've guessed.

...

It all makes sense now

Brandon jones is so fucking based in that clip, shame about gametrailers.

...

Who fucking cares, the game is complete shit.

DDO is unironically the worst of the current AAA MMOs on the market. Yes, even WoW is better, and that's coming from someone who puts WoW at #1 of his "games I absolutely fucking despise" list.

Speaking of which

...

...

That poor cat.

Because the LoL tutorial actually explains all the mechanics of the game and actually has gameplay beyond an instagib queso fiesta and doesn't take 36 years for you to do a turning animation

I was suppose to be on hoverboarding on mars fighting ayylmao's and punching moon commies. This isn't the future that I was promised. I demand a refund, a refund on reality.

So what were the best games this year?
Also, is Xcom2 worth a damn?

I was gonna say "Age of Decadence" but it turns out it's from 2015.

So I'm gonna go ahead and say the best game of 2016 was none of them.

I'd like to know as well. Trying to think if I had fun playing anything from this year or I'm just mixing it up in my head with older titles

To be fair It isn't good the best selling game that released in 2016 was a Warhammer one
Makes me worry about the future of 40k

...

Pretty much

...

How did he just randomly hurt his balls?

Allergic reaction to all the hormone pills.

Sat on 'em weird. Or sat on pubes and that pulled on the balls.

Because hes acting like such a fag that the little manhood he has left wants out.

It's shit and all the flaws console features and design choices from the previous title are still there.

Its alright
Mod support helps

I liked it

uncharted 4, odin sphere, persona 5, the last guardian, and Raiden V

Where though…

ok how the fuck does that happen? The game came out on PS4 before being on steam, videos and streams showed the games flaws, and people still bought the game, and defended it when it was exposed for being a scam.

I'm more pissed a Capcom game got on that list because Capcom needs to be dismantled and banned from making any more shitty video games.

He asked for games and you started with uncharted.

And that's because you have shit taste.

I just want Let It Die on PC, Piss4 stop being selfish

It's almost as if nature is against men pretending to be women.

Jesus christ I cant believe I unironically feel bad for her and more for that cat. Her life must be so meaningless.

Well I mean that can happen to men or men pretending to be girls regardless.

It's because of the refund system. Steam said that you're allowed to get a refund if you had just purchased a game and then saw that it was discounted shortly after. Imagine thousands of people doing this with every game that they had bought because it just went onto a flash sale.

There is a small sliver of hope yet.

sorry are you a pcondiment?

No he's someone who plays video games maybe you should put away your uncharted 4 movie and do the same.

it doesn't sound like it if he mistakes an obvious game for a movie

kek
MAKE IT STOP

Stop posting and lurk.

...

pcondiments are an embarrassment, more of a game than cuck strategy tbqh

Who the fuck told you of this site? You need to go back.

Starjew valley is pretty shitty.

It also has gay marriage.

Problem with fedorafags is that they don't practice what they preach.

online gambling (video game items, not online casinos) evade regulation. Valve takes money for guns and gives out money for those who sell the guns. crates are a way of continuing the economy and preventing stagnation and decline by constantly offering new items. Steam is essentially a company that runs virtual economies at this point that pretend to be small features of larger games when in reality the economy is the main purpose of the game.

eeeeeeew :(

I sure hope you aren't saying HoI4 is good.

How much did they cut out compared to HoI3 to sell as DLC later on?

...

who would you be if not a PCuck tho, games are shit too but at least you can emulate the consoles you didn't have.

CRIMER, Ingress's illegal agent, SkipAway.
Jap's famous raper.

Judge by yourself.

NO HOPE LEFT

I'm making an MP4, anyone have the "suicide is paintless" webm? It was a compilation of a bunch of images like pic related

Grand Strategy was never good.

...

It's popping up as blank when I look at it

Consider taking a bleach enema.

pm'd u the fix :)

...

This. Gamers are shit.

Find your comfortable niche and ignore everything else. The Dragons Dogma threads here were nice.

Here's what I have right now for my animation.
What should I focus on besides NMS? Skyrim? FO4? COD? F2P gamys?

also - bitrate is low so you can't really read the text.
I'll probably work on it a bit more tommorow, maybe upload it to vid.me or something

If Paradox weren't incompetent and could make an efficient game performance wise, HoI4 would be a pretty good tablet game. That's not exactly an incredible accolade, but still it'd be much better than being on PC. Hell even the UI looks like it was made for tablet, especially in the tech menu.

Of course not. The fact that a free game can gross as much or more than HoI is great.
At least that's the optimistic way of looking at it. The pessimistic being that microtransactions are getting out of hand.

okay now, how the fuck is Left 4 Dead 2 still in there?

...

Focus on FO4, Watchdogs, Skyrim and XCOM. It's tough because I think NMS should be placed at the end for how much of a crock of shit it was, but it's at the top. Maybe have NMS keep popping up.

Everything said, plus the fact that it came out earlier, and that unlocking the characters actually keeps people hooked, rather than repel them.
Average skinner box tactics user, you should be aware of those by now.

Paradox died with that game. RIP.

dont forget to VP9

What are you talking about? Its more that they're wrong but they try to push themselves as incontrovertibly right whilst being hypocritical in what they practice.
Not to mention the things they rail against like religion invariably end up in their modus operandi with celebrity worship a la Dawkins.
On top of this, nearly all of them have had issues with their families, and a sizable portion of fedora tipping comes as a result of a dysfunctional child from a dysfunctional, or semi-dysfunctional family, or someone who never grew out of their rebellious or edgy phase in late-middle/early-high school years.

Number 1 being Rocket League is O.K. with me.

none of them are on sale tho
