I think Japanese devs gonna be Japanese devs.

They'll get better. They barely did PC for 2 generations and even then, the PS1 to PC Japanese ports were often outsourced.

 

[Kaleinc]

(And less like Capcom in the terrible game department, I guess )

I hope 'terrible' Dragon's Dogma pays me a visit on PC.
All internally developed Capcom games are at least good.

 

[mrgone]

Capcom did a great job with the RE4 port.

Was it QLOC who handled this one? There are some legitimate issues, but many of them are getting fixed in an upcoming patch.

I figured they would, all their PC releases have been really solid over the last few years. Maybe not the best games in every case (and dat GFWL), but they've performed well even on modest hardware, which has been awesome.

I hope 'terrible' Dragon's Dogma pays me a visit on PC.

I've been holding out on buying the game for ages now on that hope, too. Dragon's Dogma looks great.

NPCs sometimes block your path and you have to wait until they move, what can take time.

Ah, a staple feature of older jrpgs back in day and one of the few things I don't miss from that glorious time. Thanks for the writeup, I'll be picking it up down the line, kinda wish grabbed it during the launch window but hopefully it'll be a reasonable price during the next big sale.

All this talk about One Finger Death Punch forced me to hunt through my bundle profiles in search of my steam key - glad I did, really enjoyable game to throw some time at, though I think my mouse is now on its last legs...

 

[fantomena]

I want to start another Dark Souls playthough, but I think Im gonna wait for the Steamworks patch. Same goes to Fallout 3.

 

[Dupy]

Side question for you guys. I obviously use this thread for my Steam giveaways but where's the best place for Origin or other online store giveaways? Is there somewhere in Community?

 

[Archie]

Is The Wolf Among Us worth it for someone who never read Fables? Is it as good as Telltale's Walking Dead?

It's better than TWD.

 

[catabarez]

Best place to get South Park besides nuuvem?

Hey Dupy - it's quite common for non-Steam games to be shared here, too (ModBot is Origin/Desura aware), but they're commonly given away on the 'free to a good home' thread as well.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I didn't even know what Fables was until I started playing TWAU and yes, it's totally worth it.

I actually bought a few comic books last week.

I bought it without even knowing what Fables was about and totally loved it. After I finished the first episode I immediately picked up some Fables comics and started reading them, that's how good the game is.

I find it really good for having not read Fables, I don't quite like it as much as The Walking Dead but it's still really fun and the story is good as well, there is also a good character info section that gives backstory, so it's a little easier to follow who the characters are.

It's better than TWD.

Thanks for the answers. I got it for 7 keys.

Is Amazon also getting the Dark Souls 2 PC preorder bonuses or is that a steam store only thing?

They should be, store listing probably just hasn't been updated yet.

 

[Atraveller]

Same goes for Nuuvem?

 

[Lunaniem]

Best place to get South Park besides nuuvem?

GMG is giving $13 credit back still for buying South Park but no coupon anymore, Nuuvem is still the cheapest price I believe.

 

[jsrv]

I just noticed they still have it listed with a May release date so I guess it's just outdated.. Guess I'll wait a bit just to be sure

 

[mannerbot]

Same goes for Nuuvem?

I don't know about Nuuvem, but I would expect businesses selling NA/ROW keys to all carry the same preorder bonuses as they're not tied to specific retailers. GMG and GamersGate have the same preorder incentives that Steam is offering.

I just noticed they still have it listed with a May release date so I guess it's just outdated.. Guess I'll wait a bit just to be sure

Might as well order from GMG then since they're offering $12 GMG credit or $10 cash back.

Has it been confirmed that Dark Souls 2 isn't getting a PC retail release? I've been digging for a little while now and can't seem to find a definitive answer. I've had a preorder on it since last summer, but I can't find the game listed for PC on the store anymore (my preorder's still there, though, which is why I'm trying to figure out if I need to order it again someplace else). Folks were talking about it as if it were supposed to be cancelled in threads here and there, but stories about the confirmation of the April 25th release date were also mentioning a retail release alongside the digital game.

To confuse shit further the Dark Souls 2 official twitter and Facebook page have been talking about the game as "PC and Steam" in a manner that almost implies an old-timey separation between PC versions based on distribution method, which is unlikely and insane. I'm getting a goddamned headache.

Assuming that you're in the US, the only currently available option for a physical release of Dark Souls 2 is the Collector's Edition for $109.99 from Club Namco, Amazon, and GameStop.

I'm in Canada, but if Best Buy's not getting a retail release in the US it wouldn't be showing up in any capacity at Futureshop here. So the standard version that was being bumped up to the Black Armor edition for preorders is definitely gone?

 

[MMBosstones86]

Same goes for Nuuvem?

I wouldn't say definitely gone since I was surprised by the announcement of a PC Collector's Edition for the US, but a Black Armor Edition certainly doesn't seem likely.

 

[JustinBB7]

Batman: Arkham Knight store page is up!

I added it to my wishlist and it shows as: Zeppelin for some reason lmao

Well crap, I guess Nuuvem might be the best bet then. Thanks for the help mannerbot!

 

[JustinBB7]

Thanks!

Damn, it was added over a year ago into the database with the Zeppelin name..

I wonder if it'll be worth getting a few copies of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD to trade later? The license expires next year for Activision and I assume that the game will be pulled before then.

Aren't they making a new game? For mobile though, but same license.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Yes, one more game and it's mobile. Activision might have thought that they would get one more cash grab out of the franchise before the license expired. I couldn't find any other news regarding a license extension so it looks like next year is the end.

 

[Milamber]

I feel like throwing up. Was this part of the Greenlight initiative?

Wow, I just beat Brother's man, that was amazing. Wish more games were that good.

 

[Milamber]

And everyone here thought you could be excited about it.

*Checks back several pages*

Oh! I was excited when it came out initially pre-steam, but the stories behind it killed my enthusiasm.

What stories?

 

[Myshkin]

I think the questions here are: does it have a lot of fonts? and can you import 3d models?
We already know it allows backgrounds to be imported.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The dark tales of Manga Maker Comipo are recorded for all to see under the most helpful reviews on its Steam page. Truly dark times we live in.

 

[Milamber]

What stories?

The fact you can't import standard Maya models freely, same for 3D backgrounds or objects. You're better served using SFM and printscreening it.

EDIT: I may be unfair to it though, Maybe they updated it to fix all their problems with it by now.

Don't play Arkham Origins then, you'll probably get burned out.

I'm in no particular rush

I'm still burned out on AssCreed BroHood. I should finish that.

On the subject of Acti's licensed stuff, Monster Jam disappeared from the store a month ago. A second game released in 2010 but it was exclusive to consoles.

I was going to ask you if The Walking Dead™: Survival Instinct was worth collecting a few copies of, but I see that you already have done that. I have a feeling that one will get pulled after it's next sale.

 

[Stallion Free]

I will never not hate the water room in RE4. There is no way In hell I'm gonna suffer through pro now after having those feelings refreshed.

Sage advice!

Yeah, I think TWD has a strong chance of being dumped come January. I also don't hold high hopes for Ice Age but it ultimately comes down to much money Acti stands to be refunded by abandoning the licence early. We should start a betting pool.
