Limited Run Games - Putting digital games into your hands

Not open for further replies.
Im gonna post the two releases I want that 1. already exist digitally. 2. are localized in NA (one of them is NA only right now).

1. God Eater Resurrection PS4 / Vita.
2. Strange of Sword City Revisited
 
You said big games. They are still doing a lot of small games, including on Vita.

What I said was:

with the company's new direction of "bigger games only" it makes me wonder how long their future on it will be (I know they've already signed a load of games, I'm talking beyond that).

Bolded the important bits that seem to have been missed in your response. I'm not talking about what they're doing in the past, I'm talking about the longer term future. And I'm not saying "this is what I think they're gonna do", I'm basing it on their own words about it:

For reassurance, things *will* slow down once we get past last year's games. Our credo going forward is fewer releases, bigger titles.

We've started saying no to games that could only sustain small runs. It pains me because many are good games but we *have* to slow down.

But the data speaks for itself - if we don't slow down and focus on bigger titles we'll end up out of business.

So your response really should be directed at them, not me :p

Still available.

Sold out now! Didn't check exactly when, but somewhere around the 60 hour mark?

At least they're all gone.


Haven't got the source, but apparently Josh has said a 6 minute video showing clips from 15 announced games; followed by a 3 minute video showing clips from 6 unannounced games.

Will I be able to watch that on YouTube (or Twitch) after it's over, somehow? Have no experience with twitch streams so sorry if that's a stupid question. ^^

Also haven't got the source, but apparently it will be up on Youtube after, yeah. I'm sure I'll have read all the announcements by that point though :p

My picks :
(3 points) Net High
(2 point) Neo Atlas 1469

Dream Games :
(3 points) Saga Scarlet Grace



Don't know what else to choose, if a game is available digitally and/or asian english that's enough, music titles it's okay to play them in japanese (I do so often), not really interested in regular Visual Novels (Net High looks like something special, and I read a few very good reviews from people with similar tastes than mine).
Falcom titles I tried to get on them but the lore didn"t get me, I do get why the'yre beloved though, cheap Bamco licensed project no thanks.

Not sure where to draw the line between regular picks and dream games.

Got an e-mail, and by the time I checked the website it was gone. Where the hell was the heads up on this? I had no idea they were posting it today at such a random time. I shouldn't have to F5 the website all the time to see this crap. UGH!

One of them posted to Twitter about it a week or so ago. I set an alarm it I would have missed it.

It is getting impossible to keep track of their releases, Kickstarter variants, etc. they need a simple calendar of releases on the site.

Did anyone remember how many copies of DariusBurst for vita was gonna be made? Could've sworn it was 5,800 but the website says 4,000.

It was mentioned in their last five emails (at the bottom after the Broken Age & Deemo details).

They probably should have set an e-mail dedicated to it with the subject about it. Every other release you get a heads up in e-mail with the subject saying so a week in advance. I can see how this being buried at the bottom of an e-mail would go unnoticed, especially since the subject doesn't mention it.

Yeah I didn't even bother to read any of those e-mails because I wasn't interested in the games in the subject title, I just figured it would release on a Friday with a subsequent release. Ugh again I say!

Yeah I didn't read the other e-mails because they seemed to be dedicated to releases I already had on my calendar.
 
If Ubisoft's conference goes over an hour its gonna be going on at the same time as LRG's stream. Their one last year was well over an hour if I remember correctly so this one will probably be too.

I really feel like this sneaky Strafe release was kinda douchy. No one on this thread mentioned it, which makes me think very very few people were aware of this random monday release because the information would have been shared otherwise.

I'm "lucky" I got the original SRG cover already but I prefered this exclusive art.
I think some people will be (even more) pissed off when they realize their last chance to get the game at all flied by.

Still love you, but as far as I'm concerned it was a failure <3

Just saw the thing on Gonintendo where Nintendo turned down LRG to concentrate on big publishers. What an absolute joke, what big publishers for a start?

Yeah, I had no idea Strafe was today. Though I wasn't gonna get it, so I'm not too miffed, but I can understand if it was someone who did want it.

Anyways, excited for LRG's slew of announcements today. It should start in one hour, right?
