In a new announcement from Valve, beta testers for the Steam Machines will be receiving the first-person shooter Metro: Last Light for free.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
Do they get to keep the machines tho??
good deal i say great game, single player is crazy awesome.
They asked for my full name. Phone number. Street adress. Zip code. I was fine sharing these info but then they asked that i set my steam profile to public, i said hell no!
Ah lucky, I haven't played the game but it looks awesome. I wish I could be a beta tester, really want to try the new controller out. But I'm sure they won't pick someone from New Zealand.
Can't wait to see BENCHMARKS of Metro-Last light running on a Steam machine / SteamOs vs. a PC with the same hardware running through Windows/Directx
CAN'T WAIT!
(meaning some Magazine or website needs to get these benchmarks out to the public ASAP)
