For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.

Go get it RIGHT NOW

I don’t currently need any games ported to Steam. Why do you? What’s so special about Steam? Or is this just shorthand (longhand) for “on PC”?

mohab,

Just convenience, really.

You could just let me be and reply with your "I need these games ported to PC" list if you have one. No reason to turn everything into an argument.

People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it’s still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.

B0NK3RS,
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

Most people don’t know any better and it’s sad.

Shiggles,

But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.

I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

Kecessa, (edited )

“DAE le Epic sux, right guys?”

Shiggles,

Sorry reality gets in the way of your corporate bootlicking 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kecessa,

I mean… Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?

nico198X,

Epic is anti-linux, so it’s an immediate no from me, dawg.

Steam or GOG is the way to go for digital PC stores.

Kecessa,

GOG doesn’t have a Linux launcher either so you’re already using a workaround, stop being a baby and just do the same for other launchers.

nico198X,

i didn’t say anything about a launcher.

mohab,

"Fighting in favor of PC gaming monopoly"

Jesus Christ, the drama. If anything, I'm fighting for Debbie Downers like you to let me enjoy my favorite shit in peace.

I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I'll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.

thermal_shock,

Damn man, you brought some serious attitude here. Take a fucking walk.

Elevator7009,

Wish you were not downvoted, you are expressing this view civilly. No offputting insults towards anyone who maybe has the impulse for convenience enough to post a game here thinking “it would be cool if I could open this through Steam,” but knows in practice yeah it is good there is not a monopoly and they had to get it somewhere else. (Or maybe it just released pre-Steam.) This thread turned from a quick fun discussion into “corporate bootlicker!” “Buzzkill!” really fast and I am not a fan.

MellowYellow13,

Maybe Steam competitors need to be fucking better then? Jesus dude. Steam is popular for a reason.

Kecessa,

Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they’re too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.

thermal_shock,

He asked a legit question. You didn’t say “PC”, you said steam specifically. Why does the launcher matter?

tynansdtm,

I don’t recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don’t get me wrong, Steam is good but I don’t have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it’s frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn’t.

  • Halo games after 4 (Just add them to the MCC, 343! Even as add-ons, FFS!)
  • Anything and everything by Vanillaware, but especially Muramasa: The Demon Blade
  • Rock Band 4 (I know Harmonix did a crowdfunding campaign for a PC port; I bought into it and I’m butthurt it failed)
  • Time Crisis (any and all of them, but 1-3 first)

Complete the collection.

Fireteam Raven could be fun, too, but that’s a pipe dream

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I see. Given the general reception of the 343 games, it’s a little surprising to see people ask for 5 in its entirety, though I will admit there were moments of fun to be had with H5f.

I’m not sure what fire team raven is, will need to look that one up.

Final Fantasy Tactics, ideally the War of the Lions version.

That one you could just emulate.

Stovetop,

You can, though from personal experience it can be a bit finicky if you’re trying to emulate the better PSP version. There are some optional patches that can be applied to it to improve stability, but it still crashes on me a few times in PPSSPP.

A native PC release would have been nice to have. It’s one of the few FF games still not available on PC/Steam.

Alternatively, one could grab the Android version and try to run that on PC through the now-deprecated WSA, but the mobile port is touch input only with no controller support.

iAmTheTot,

I have the android port already and have tried to get a reliable way to play it on PC and it’s just too much of a pain in the ass 😅

iAmTheTot,

I’d prefer native.

Ashtear,

Rumors abound for a remaster of this one, but I’m gonna start thinking it was a casualty of SQEX’s recent restructuring if it doesn’t surface this year.

iAmTheTot,

Those rumours are a decade old at least. I don’t believe stuff like that anymore until its out, lol.

Turned off the aggro on the patrolling demons in Murdered: Soul Suspect, because an otherwise peaceful detective adventure - where you play as a ghost investigating your own murder - really didn’t need the random stressful action sequences 🤷‍♂️ (Sadly you can’t turn off the floor traps, but at least those are stationary.)

Elevator7009,

Premise of that game is making me ask: have you played Ghost Trick before?

no, but it’s oh my wishlist :)

LiveLM,

The only flaw with that game is that there is no sequel :(

Factorio is fun for me until oil comes up.

I have managed to play further with the black market mod. I can make whatever item I want, sell enough of it and buy the things I want or need instead of making them myself.

Other mods add more powerful machines that make items much faster. I like to do manually stuff with one machine only, then swap to something else with the same machine and repeat the process.

AngryCommieKender,

With the update, even if you don’t have the DLC, fluids have been rebalanced. You just have to place a pump every 200-250 tiles and everything flows.

For oil specifically, you don’t need anything but petroleum until what used to be late game. So just build a few (like a dozen) refineries and make sure that there’s actually oil coming in.

Once you actually need lubricant, and light oil, set up chemical plants to turn heavy oil into lube and light oil, and light oil into petroleum. It won’t be fast, but it won’t clog and it will produce what you need, slowly. You can use storage tanks as a buffer for your lube, light oil, and petroleum. Heavy oil isn’t used as a direct input for any assembler recipe.

I consider myself a Factorio apprentice, as I have yet to actually set up a proper train system. I’m slowly learning circuit logic, but can get to Gelba without getting stuck.

Don’t stress optimization, brute force works as well.

According to my father, who is an absolute Epic Wizard level computer programmer consultant, Factorio teaches you the basics of computer programming.

Agent641,

Oil is where Factorio becomes factoriohno

Toribor,
@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

The updated fluid mechanics are a lot more forgiving and basically have infinite throughput. It’s still a whole new layer of complexity but doesn’t have nearly as many confusing limitations as it used to.

Weirdfish,

I don’t think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.

With the new belt reading mechanics, I’m trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.

I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel

tomshardware.com/…/steam-released-a-record-number…

Steam released 18,825 new games in 2024, beating its previous record of 14,311 last year.

That’s a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:

www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-4/

There are 11,274 video games on PlayStation 4. They were released between the years 2013 and 2025.

mohab,

I was cursed with an extremely narrow taste in video games so there isn't a lot for me out there in general.

mic_check_one_two,

Yeah, 18k games, but a lot of that is going to be shovelware. Steam has a big issue with shovelware designed to look like a good deal. They’ll release like 25 games, one will be priced at like $100, with the rest priced at like 50¢.

Then they do a publisher bundle, which marks all of those 50¢ games down by like 90%, but doesn’t touch the pricey game. So on the surface, the bundle is marked as like $100 for 25 games, at 87% off. Looks like a great deal. When in reality it’s just 24 cheap games marked down, and one super expensive game. And all of them will be shovelware. But it’ll be enough to fool anyone who doesn’t bother to dig into the actual bundle details.

Damn, man, I admire your perseverance. 262 days of posting. Kudos!

Renacles, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Dying Light 2 has the best traversal I’ve seen in an open world, it had a very solid base coming from the original but it expanded it with new moves and tools.

Rozz, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Tchia - it is a relaxing game, but I enjoyed it when I needed a break from intense games or intense life.

You can sail a boat, swim, glide, slide down hills, flip through the air AND transform into object and animals. When you are an object you can hop and throw yourself. When you are an animal you can do whatever they do, fly swim, run, see in the dark, poop on people, break coconuts, and more.
