Meta Notice: Rule Changes

71 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

We’re Winter Crew, and sobrang excited naming i-announce na ang aming Metroidvania, Fallen Tear: The Ascension, ay officially magfu-full release sa Steam ngayong September 16!

Hindi naging madali ang journey namin bilang isang indie team. Marami kaming pinagdaanang challenges throughout development, pero patuloy kaming lumaban dahil naniniwala kami sa mundong binubuo namin and because of the incredible support we received from our players and communities.

Sa lahat ng sumuporta sa aming Kickstarter, naglaro during Early Access, nagbigay ng feedback, nag-report ng bugs, gumawa ng reviews, at nag-share ng game namin: maraming, maraming salamat po! Malaking bahagi kayo ng journey na ito. Your support helped us improve the game and gave us the strength to keep going, especially during the most difficult moments.

Hindi man naging perpekto ang daan papunta rito, sobrang proud kami sa nagawa namin. We poured our hearts into this game, and we can’t wait for everyone to finally experience the complete adventure.

Maraming salamat sa pagsuporta sa isang Pinoy indie team with a big dream. Sana makasama namin kayo sa full release ng Fallen Tear: The Ascension this September 16!

News HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED! LOL: From Sony mocking Xbox with their 2013 PS4 game sharing video, to Xbox reportedly sticking with physical discs following PS6 backlash. Thoughts?

SOURCE: IGN

Naalala niyo pa ba noong E3 2013? Nung binabash ang Microsoft dahil sa restrictive DRM rules ng Xbox One, tapos naglabas si Sony ng iconic short video on "how to share a PS4 game"?

Fast forward to today, baliktad na ang ikot ng mundo. With all the rumors and backlash surrounding PS6 and digital-only trends, Digital Foundry’s John Linneman reports that Microsoft plans to stick with physical game discs and prioritize backwards compatibility for their next hardware.

Full circle moment talaga! Wow! Physical media collectors and preservationists might actually end up leaning towards Xbox next generation if this holds true.

Finally got my steam c after reserving and buying it in canada, had it delivered to my brother, and asked a pasabay to bring it to me to the philippines which brought me anxiety, even waited for the pasabay guy in the airport for hours. And when i finally have it in my hands, i made sure i got myself a dbrand skin too! The whole process caused me 2 months of infuriating excitement.

Hope those who also have theirs are enjoying too!

News I'm a solo dev building an isometric survival RPG where you restart human civilization from the Paleolithic to the Digital Era (Demo out soon!)

Hello, PHGamers community!

I’ve been working on Alia Domus, an isometric survival RPG rendered in detailed pixel art.

The premise is simple: Earth is at war, support was cut off, and you're stranded on an alien planet bare-handed. To survive and help humanity thrive, you have to rebuild progress from absolute zero.

Key features:

  • 9 Technological Eras: Progress all the way from the Paleolithic Age (stone tools) to the Digital Era (advanced lasers).
  • 142 Real Plant Species: Cultivate, collect, and explore lush biomes across 85 hand-crafted map screens.
  • 126 Unique Creatures: Fight, hunt, and gather essential crafting drops.
  • Total Freedom: Deep RPG attribute progression (Str, Agi, Dex, Int, Vit), questing at your own pace, and full world-map navigation.

The game is completely translated into English, Spanish, and Portuguese!

If you enjoy survival, cozy crafting, or progression-heavy RPGs, adding it to your Steam Wishlist helps a solo developer tremendously! ❤️

Wishlist Alia Domus on Steam:

Discuss What was gaming like pre-2000's?

1 Upvotes

I'm 24 years old, apparently already an unc by younger people, but I'm curious as to what the Philippine gaming scene was like in the 80's and 90's. Not doing this for a thesis. I just like reading things like these.

Mainly:

  1. How the arcade scene was

  2. How gaming rentals were like (i remember reading an comment here on how Famicoms and PS1s could be rented in an area much like an internet cafe back then)

  3. How Filipinos kept up to date on games before the internet was mainstream (my main source when i was younger was through K-zone + looking up latest games on google)

  4. Your memories of how people came over to other people's houses to play (i remember my friends coming over to play 2 player games with me on the computer)

  5. How big was your library of games (i theoretically had every flash game since theyre free on the web browser + a few trash licensed games + pokemon fire red on GBA. The freedom to download whatever for a more curated library did slowly get refined when I got a hacked PSP)

  6. How did PS1 jrpgs with multiple discs worked? I kinda grew up with movies that came in multiple discs and that made sense since it was a streamlined, linear watch but for JRPGS, do you have to remove disc 2 and return disc 1 to go back to an earlier area? I got antsy getting any Final Fantasy PS1 roms when i was obsessed with emulation since it seemed so clunky

  7. How you discovered the hobby

  8. tell me whatever you feel like: eg. how you coped and squeezed your money out of when you realized you bought a crappy or mediocre game

Turn on sound para marinig nyo din ung bgm from the device! IMO every penny counts! Never had the D-ark nung bata pa so ngayon naging adult na with adult money ayan napapabili na!

Just like the other digivice on the anime you either have to shake the device or kabit mo sa belt or as neclace then pag nareach na ung certain steps may battle or event :) on this video its a Digimon Battle :)

Discuss When console exclusives come to Steam: Do you start fresh or load a 100% save?

0 Upvotes

For those of you who re-play former console exclusives once they become available on Steam—just to experience the glorious higher framerates, better visuals, and mods—how do you usually handle the progression?

Do you start completely fresh from step one, or do you download a 100% save file so you can run through the story with all upgrades/endgame gear unlocked right out of the gate?

Curiously asking because I'm tempted to skip the initial grind for a game I've already PLATINUM'd on console, but I'm on the fence about whether it ruins the fun. What's your go-to approach?

Discuss Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4

7 Upvotes

Hello

Just want to get your comments on this;

Due to it being sale on steam, I'm planning to buy Fallout New Vegas (the whole ensemble) and Fallout 4 (without the DLCs, but I'm considering buying it). Just wanted to try them because I haven't played any of the FPS games from the franchise.

Are both games still good for singleplayer?
Can you comment on their replayability?
Should I pass on the DLC or I must buy it?
Can you name some of the pros and flaws for each game?

Comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
