So in case anyone had any hopes or doubts, yeah, Persona 5 PC is not happening.

Had the same issue - it was acting up for the whole hour actually as I tried it now and then. Bundle Stars has the same deal for the next couple of days, though - I just bought it from there instead.
Woot.
I was actually wondering how far along were you when I saw that one ticket get closed on bugzilla.
Kayo Police said it better than I ever could.So in case anyone had any hopes or doubts, yeah, Persona 5 PC is not happening.

Seriously though, he obviously wouldn't spill something like that to a random dude on twitter, even if he knew about other platforms.
Just gotta believe.
The same way he said Persona 5 was a sure thing on 2015So in case anyone had any hopes or doubts, yeah, Persona 5 PC is not happening.

yeah, him saying that doesn't actually really mean anything at this point.dave is ok
aztek is ok
I recall a story that Atlus treats its US representatives like shit, little more than dogs. It doesn't surprise me that those guys don't know shit, when they're essentially herded into a room at the last minute and then get told go do PR.
2, then pre-sequel. 2 is where you really meet jack and is also the better game.

Atlus will come around, not sure when, but I convinced that it will be in my lifetime. Is Hardin really doing PR work for Sega of America? I know that Sega acquired Atlus, but I thought that his worked revolved around Atlus' output entirely.

Considering the past behaviour of the so called Atlus USA PR (SMT4 Europe fiasco, Persona 5 2015, PC ports), I wouldn't take his words seriously as he doesn't even take his work seriously.
Even if he knew important things, it would be a bad job as a PR to unveil things you're not supposed to
That'll come down to SEGA for it to happen. Which pretty much sucks considering after selling over 800k copies of Valkyria Chronicles, and over 15k signatures of the Japanese SEGA games ports, this was SEGA's answer to such an overwhelming success. To put a number on that, that's more copies than the whole trilogy sold in Japan.

This.
It's totally possible that there were direct references but I never missed them. They were all easily put together by context clues. Considering Jack's personality, you pick up on just who he is and why it matters any time he's ever mentioned.
That game actually gave me more of an appreciate for Borderlands than I had before. If those writers could get to work on the next Borderlands and basically rip off Destiny's best parts while ignoring its growing pains, you'd have a 10/10 game to most of current gamers, I think.

I really wish Vanquish and Bayonetta would hurry the hell up and come to PC.

True. But if they had the minimum of consideration from the people that run Atlus, they would have been told that it wasn't coming out in 2015, and consequently wouldn't look like fools insisting it would come.

That ship has sailed long ago :")
Especially considering the fact that SEGA seems to have adopted the "one port a year" rhythm.
That thing is a fucked up lottery, or basically how a company failed to capitalize on such a big success.
At this point, the only Japanese company who got to understand that Steam is a profitable market is Bandai Namco.
Same day and date release. Port parity/Good ports. Features parity. Even for them, it took freaking long.
Konami was on the right way with MGSV, too bad it was their last console game :")

Sega doesn't care about PC people.
Just play Sonic 4 on Steam and show them that they're wrong about having that attitude

The dream will never die as long as I'm here.
See the weird thing is, workshop support for ROMs is extremely PC centric. Sega is just bad at everything.

No, but I could see them releasing an older game which had a PC version, like Sonic Heroes, Super Monkey Ball or Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg.

dks3 actually does a pretty good job of putting you in elevated places from which you can see how everything connects, it's just that the way you navigate these levels is super linear so you don't feel like a big sprawling world like you did in 1

You can change that, but yeah, by default you have the borders with the move lists.
Well it was made for new systems where artistically they could do more so IMO it was to be expected.
It was incredibly underwhelming to see that they decided to port Sonic Lost World after pushing so hard for other significantly more interesting titles in their back catalog (I actually put a ton effort into promoting the #SegaPCPorts campaign), but I am still hopeful. They brought us Valkyria Chronicles, which I and many others thought was the least likely of the bunch to make it over and you've got to admit that implementing rom-hacking capabilities for the SEGA Genesis and Mega Drive Classics is damn cool.
that is a kickass design (that only works if the game was originally 4:3 I know)

The thing is that people thought that showing Sega, that an old, anime game like VC could convince Sega to put out more of similar games on PC. Yakuza, Resonance of Fate. Such things. Not Sonic.
And now they announced a new "VC" after VC sold shittons on PC and its still console exclusive (yet).

Sure, it is cool, but it's just a neat feature.
It's not like a game or anything. The problem isn't only that after VC, they decided to port Sonic Lost World, it's that they seem to have adopted a pattern for ports, which is one port a year, which is the best way to lose momentum.

That wouldn't surprise me to be honest. It's even more funny that Valkyria Chronicles happened by accident and wasn't related to the petition.

Sonic Boom Wii U on Steam would give me one less reason to get a Wii U :v

Like Square-enix, Sega-Atlus is one of those pairings that has become considerably less interesting than it sounds as time passes onward.
Seeing as how Atlus's relationship with Nippon Ichi has dissolved, the chances of anymore Atlus-published games are fading fast. It's a damn shame.

i really wish so too
i'm guessing there's some weird exclusive deals going on that mean sega can't just release them on pc?
can't imagine those games being super hard to port to pc considering they were 360 titles also
Tip for future: You can save cart for up to 72 hours by starting check out & closing tab in payment processor (eg. Paypal). Then you can automatically restore it to cart with discounts from helpdesk.

Sonic Boom not being on Steam should rather give you one less reason to get Sonic Boom :v
Nothing other than SEGA being clueless. Also let's remember:

Sega is obviously saving ports to be able to announce and release a slew of them back to back

I'm not sure, as Bayonetta is on everything but PC and Vanquish was also multiplatform.
Sega completely owns the IPs afaik but maybe it's a show of respect to Platinum since Platinum didn't want any other studios to port their games.

Much like what they did with their most recent ports. Announce them and within a month release them. They seemingly like that trend and perhaps they're just working on a few to get a calendar going of sorts for rereleases.

Playing the beta for ME2 I have bad feeling a lot of the game is just going to be open world bloat filled with fetch quests =/
it's a strange thing cos you'd think that
1) 360 games are easy to port to pc
2) cult games that are all but guaranteed to sell well on pc
3) bayo was already ported to wii u so if any exclusivity deals exist they might be negotiable/might have like clauses to buy out porting rights or something?
4) sega has been doing pretty good supporting pc and porting games that didn't do great on console (like binary domain)
so idk, it's a mystery, i tend not to assume people are lazy or incompetent, so to me the most understandable reason is there's some really weird contract stuff going on
I mean the majority of the fun is the traversal. Fetch quests kind of fit in perfectly in that sort of scenario.

Dark Sector surprisingly aged well. Just needed to fix the UI crap by adding a line to the config for it to work proper in 1080p
*starts downloading Dark Sector*
I remember enjoying it quite a bit back then on PS3 but I think I never finished it.

I dont think it held up at all, I played it last year on PC after loving the 360 version and yeesh
anyway just killed the second Acolyte, how far from the end am I? im mostly just mainlining now, not really backtracking for items because I dont really remember where shit was, and I feel like I have enough health and magic as it is
edit: and I still have the dlc to do aswell

A doomed Kickstarter isn't the Doom people were asking for. (Seriously, it's all ideas and concepts, nothing conrete. They haven't started development yet.)
