I'm personally on the hype star for the inevitable "downgrade confirmed" thread.

Did Valve explained this move?
Many games were locked in the last few months. I'm talking about that.
What on earth is a hype star?
You sir, must be sporting the finest tin foil hat in all of Christendom.
To be fair I can't remember it being that much of an issue, even when my weapon did break there was a bonfire right around the corner. If durability get's scaled back you may as well throw it out all together.

PC gamers just dealt with it.
But gotta please those whining console babies.

Strider is much more fun after like 2hrs in, more moves are unlocked and you get to deflect shit and now he gets a shield thing. Controls are decent and fast, the few moves you get mixes well with the platforming and wall climbing. Although the boss designs are on the weak side so far, there's this one boss you meet repeatedly where everytime you fight her she'd add an extra chick in there so it's kind of ridiculous/funny. There was an air boss where you have to keep jumping up to slash the dude which got a bit tiring. Beginning was definitely a bit slow.
It's more fun to watch them pop up in the frontpage! It seems to have slowed down.

Funny you should say that because...
And yup. My only durability problem was in the
King's Pets duo
Looking at the google translated notes, it seems like they are making it so that hitting dead bodies will not degrade durability anymore. So it's basically just an improvement for R1 mashers. Everything else appears to stay the same.
OK, I laughed, it's hype death star no less

The more likely answer is they're cheap to create and a low number of sales can still give a good return on investment.

They realize what eventually happened to both death stars?
They told me there will be screenshots, but there's only a non-gameplay still. Meh.
But then I would have missed these gems.

Urghhhh. Just when you think you've seen it all...
Oh so it's for the silly fools who go around swinging their weapon wildly into walls and corpses. This is the beginning of the 'dumbing down' of the Souls franchise!!!
Whoever came up with the idea probably expects it to be a Battlefield reskin. Creds to him for getting everyone on it.

Honestly I think Bamco needs to give From a bit more time with their games.
Artorias of the Abyss only got completed and released because of the PC port of DS1, before it was just left to the floor due to time constraints.

That's, um...okay that's pretty darn high.
never ever underestimate steam userbase.
I almost had heart attack when I noticed that it sold better than Trails.... and a lot better

No accounting for taste! I regret buying Sakura Spirit even if my warning signs were going off.
All this Dark Souls talk just makes me want to play some.
So, I think I'm going to play some super duper dark souls 2 special edition.
It's nice that they tweaked the ambient light levels back to what it was in the network tests (as far as I remember), places like Gutter are actually really really dark now without needing any external post processing.

About 150k sales. Woah. They made mad bank. No matter what quality the game is, there seems to be enough demand.
This could solve the greatest fear of all the lazy bums from around EU2 like me planning to go to Bundesligaland to steal your jobs, but hesitate because of green blood and not being able to frag nazis.

Bought Day 0. It's not as great as DS1, but it's still a fantastic game.
Yup

It very well maybe! I'm just not comfortable in paying close to full price for something I'm iffy on and Tomb Raider 2013 reminded me that it's sometimes not worth it to just jump in.
I'm one of them.
SS's cards sell pretty well. I get the game at 50%, buy gems, craft boosters for few days. I made my money back. Can't complain.

A good point
Was this game bundled? The other Sakura game seems to be around 25k

Alternatively, people played the first one and learned their lesson about subsequent titles.
Nope, it wasn't bundled but it had 50% discount, the second game still haven't, at least I think that's the case.
you faith in humankind is astounding!

It had a good deal and went for 3 bucks. It got also a lot of popularity due to its "nature". Don't recall the second one getting that much visibility. No clue how much that sold though.
I like Tomb Raider 2013
Actually to the point I'll probably betray you all and buy an Xbone at Crimbo if Rise of the Tomb Raider turns out any good. It's not Lara that needs protecting, it's clearly me as that statement proves I've lost my marbles.
You may be mistaking it for Tron: Evolution. I've had Tron 2.0 since day one (on Steam) and it's never had cards.
Also one of them. The game is 1 hour less or so. The story is pretty short and branching part is almost irrelevant afaik. After finishing it, I wonder if it is a prologue to bigger title perhaps?
I think Narcissu (?) and that Russian VN are better and free to boot.
I was sure it was Tron 2... but I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe you are right.
Narcissu is still in EA tho, and it feels, but of course it's nothing like Sakura games too.
This one right:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/264380/
I'm not familiar with VN scene, I played it and thought it was as finished as it is. Is there another parts missing?
After finishing it,
I can't see hospital the same again. Especially the windows on top floor.

It's complete they're doing engine improvements though and inserting a new translation when thats done. The first two have been translated and have been free for ages pretty much.
I more had in mind that translation still needs some work and it has some minor bugs. It is a good kinetic VN as far as VNs go, of depressive type as I call them

I like Tomb Raider 2013
me too Dogg. Me too....
There were some issues with Steam Overlay on Steam version, but even after patch you can't add non-Steam versions on Steam. SC Launcher just crashes. I don't know why R* did that but it is really annoying. But at least i have found small SS app that runs in background and takes PNG uncompressed screenshots (it is not FRAPS it is Greenshot) and best thing is that app is free.

Tomb Raider 2013 is good game but really bad Tomb Raider. I really didn't like reboot of the franchise. I mean Lara is still rich but she doesn't want to use her money, actually she can't use it because her uncle is in charge and she needs to ask him every time she wants to use it. Too much shooting, too much human enemies, tombs are really bad, there is no sense of loneliness and puzzles. For the love of god they decided to implement iconic double pistols move at the end of that game but they won't include them in RoTR. Lara is gymnastic but there is not a single move in reboot that proves that. I can go this way for a long time but it won;t change a thing. Old TR is dead because it didn't sell, new one does so they will go where money is. And don't get me started on that TR comic that will tie two games together.

Rise of the Triad got a 1,2GB update. What is it?
You're making it sound like it's shameful. I'm proud of liking TR2013, just as I'm also proud of liking Angel of Darkness!

I'm probably very late (news is from 24h ago) but I still think it is interesting news.
2K Australia, developer of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, closes down
In this case I especially find it alarming since the pre-sequel is not a bad game but apparently more-of-the-same ain't cutting it anymore.

One is of course much newer and didn't have same prices but I still think sequels are doing very often much worse than expected.

It's unfortunate that they had to close, but I'd call the bolded a good thing. Especially if it's more of Borderlands
Well that escalated quickly.
I would have liked that one more if Core had used the grid system from the previous titles. Traversal was just a pain imo. At least the PC version still runs and looks decent.

I haven't played the Pre-Sequel yet, but I was planning to give it a chance after I get around to finishing the Borderlands 2 season pass.
Even though I sure as hell didn't like The Bureau, it's sad to see them go. Hope everyone at the studio finds a secure new job.

Perhaps. I just read about it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissu
Quite a big name, eh. I was just picking it because it's free. Might get it when it out EA.
Although, honestly...
I don't want anything to do with that VN again. It haunted me for several days, and if I remember some scene my heart still ache.
Shit is depressing. If young person play it, they might get moved and devote their live to medical science! The horror.

I see.
So it's kinda bug or something then. SC launcher always crash after I exit the game but that doesn't really bother me.
Ah right, Greenshot. I used it back then for my office laptop and kinda forgot it. Also, fraps makes my game stuttering while driving so I have to close it for GTA V.
I think it's less matter of Pre-Sequel being disappointing saleswise (which I don't think is true) and more about the fact that developing games in Australia is expensive.

As I've said before my biggest issue was the story for tomb raider. Would have enjoyed the game far more had it not been so bad.
