I would love to see Dragon's Dogma on PC, especially with Capcom ditching GFWL.

There goes one of my only two temptations to get a 3DS. Woooooooo!
Ya this sounds like a standard PR non-response.
Currently no plans is exactly what Microsoft said about Halo 3 port.
This better not be GFWL.
"There are currently no plans for a PC version of Dragon's Dogma", a Capcom representative told us.
Capcom's Twitter account has since been updated to reflect this. "Sorry for the false alarm folks," a hastily written update reads, "no Dragon's Dogma on the PC any time soon"

Why such a late join date?
xD As I said, I was in beta before that!
I remember only installing the release client 1-2 weeks after release as well because all I played every day was bf1942
Out of curiosity I've begun to track its progress. In the 24 hours between ~7:30pm March 5th and ~7:40pm March 6th (AWST), the bar went up 3%.

I'm there.
I think Defiance will show us the true nature of Steam pre-purchase reward tiers. The pre-purchase went live yesterday and almost a full day later is only at 1% towards first reward. There's no hype behind this game, very few people are talking about it so if it actually reaches 100% - well, that tells us a lot.
It would be bad for the overall business model if a per order was ever to fail to unlock all of its incentives.
I have a feeling Valve will scoot it along eventually.
Yeah, I'll be keeping a close on Defiance, too. I've said before that I don't believe the progress bar has any tangible significance, and Defiance -- a $60 MMO nobody is talking about, with no hats and a stupidly expensive DDE -- looks to be the decider.
I can see Valve handing out the Valve Complete Pack to every active account as well as giving those with "10 years of service" a special TF2 item. (I wish I could gain access to my OG Steam account.
)Best chance for us to get some actual data.
The tiers seem pretty poor and the game will be nowhere near the top sellers.
What would be interesting to know but I doubt we'll ever find out is the exact number of units the different reward tiers are set at. Are they the same for each title or is it down to publisher discretion? Are the totals the same for each level or do they increase? Say for example Tomb Raider was only offering a smaller game, single player dlc and multi player maps compared to Bioshock Infinite offering 2 larger titles (granted 1 is quite old now but XCOM is still quite new) as well as hats if the totals needed to unlock their respective requirements are the same. Arguably BI has the better rewards.
Yeah, I'll start tomorrow.
Edit: It's 3 minutes 'til midnight, so make that "later today".

I found it pretentious - and this is coming from someone who loves Dear Esther! The gameplay is bland, basic and tedious. Nowhere near as clever or thought-provoking as it seems to think.
Others adore it - maybe I'm just missing something.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
My Steam account is so old that my login email has '@aol.com' at the end of it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Thanks, I did enjoy Limbo, which was considered pretentious by many, but yeah I am holding off for now.
Too many games and so forth.

The fault to all this PWYW bundles! Steam accounts grow without much money being spent.
Edit: This is a website which I like better for this kind of stats. Your total is closer to 1700 dollars.

I tried so damn hard :/
I really wanted to be immersed as the game was fun ... but yeah, I just couldn't get past the preformance. Hell I don't need 60 I just need a locked framerate!
Would make sense! No idea how well it sold on consoles, but I'm sure a PC port would kick up enough sales to cover the 'process'!
Although capcom is kinda weird that way.

It'll probably happen but they'll deny it until after the expansion releases in April on consoles.
Those Indie bundles Steam offer during their crimbo sale 2 years ago added about 100 titles to my account I've barely looked at apart from the ones I was after. That and things like the Paradox pack which at one point had 83 titles when all I wanted was M&B Warband and Hearts of Iron 2 & 3 but worked out cheaper.

I tried to get them to stop right away but nooooo everyone else had to try and play along and make a big joke out of it. Look where we are now. Are you happy about the decision you made?

morningbus, I hope you're happy with what you've done to the thread again. People don't understand your subtle brand of steam thread humor.
The gif I posted in response to Stallion Free would have worked here too, but I don't want to cheat you guys out of fresh gifs.

Too bad what I want is not always what they want.
Also looking at that "Games Completed" section I'm ashamed of myself
But did you complete any of the countless games that don't have achievements? I have a category called "cleared or with 100%" where I put everything I finish and take out of the backlog. By "finish" in most cases I mean reaching the end but in other cases, like shmups, I count the 1 credit clear in at least the standard mode (ie: Jamestown, which I also cleared in Judgement using continues, or Satazius or Ether Vapor) or finishing the story mode in something like Dead Space 1 & 2 or Silent Hill Homecoming. Whatever to trim down the bloody backlog!
I coined the "Steam Library Enlargement" with all the bundles, Steam sales and such.
I did the Wasted on Steam test. Proud to see my most played game is Dark Souls. That's one that doesn't count to the "completed" counter but I 100% the bloody thing and cleared the game 3 times. Probably starting a NG+++ or a new character soon.

I would double dip in a heartbeat-- probably after buying Dark Arisen for console too.
That is one game I feel really could do great coming to PC, especially if they don't go by GFWL for the DRM and stick to Steamworks or something. It's crazy it's taken this long for a PC port to even be "announced". But, it is Capcom.

We got Alan Wake, Brütal Legend, Dark Souls, suddenly AoE2 on Steam seems possible... There is even this Vanquish/Bayonetta petition to pester Sega/Platinum until we see the Steam registry entries for them, etc.
One can hope Capcom will tag along!

I would prefer a proper Wii port, but with 60 fps. The RE4 HD release was a complete waste.
What was the difference between the Wii version and the recent 360/PS3 HD versions?
But yes I can't believe Capcom hasn't released a copy of RE4 on DD. With a good port this time, and I would love to see Steamworks for the pricing competition, and because I'm a sucker for achievements.

inferior controls, the wii version had outstanding control with the wii mote.

A pointer that would perfectly translate to the mouse.
Some graphical effects were missing in the PS360 port, I think only notably was on the novistadors. Lighting was different as well, but it sported the requisite higher resolution and AA.
Yes, obviously.
But I'm assuming there was something different about the port. The controls shouldn't matter in this discussion since they would be reconfigured for PC use anyways.
For example, the original PC version of RE4 used the PS2 geometry, which was subpar.
The Wii version, used the GC geometry and had slightly better texture work.

This is what I was interested in.

I'm not ashamed to have put 75 hours into this since release. I'm not playing it nearly as much as I was, but it's still fun to revisit the "My Player" RPG elements once or twice a month. I never attempted to play it online, and would imagine it's a train wreck on the PC.
