I think it's 'cause the game was on sale for like $1.50 some time back so there was a low barrier for entry. Likely leading to joke reviews.
To be fair there's also legit critiques peppered in there as well. The bulk being Very Positive.
Dark Souls 3 made Namco Bandai over 40 million USD in its release day on Steam.
I don't think anyone wants to afford the moneyhat required for this if they see it as a project at that level.

I personally still dont get why they wont port the SAO games to Steam (at least the real games, since that Accel World/SAO seems to come to Steam).
There's no official platform announcement yet.
It's UE4, Souls-like, Bandai Namco.
There's a negative chance this isn't going to be on PC as well.
Yeah, I was voting down the reviews at the top, and then I read a review that was an actual review. I was like, "whoa, better not vote that down!"

Im sure its coming to PC. But I dont quite understand why the YT trailer then has the Xbox One and PS4 tag, but not PC related tag and that makes me think that Bandai-Namco (as well as a lot of other bigger japanese publishers) somehow still see the PC not in the same vein as a console.
I've been holding off on this for too long.

Is it just my imagination or did they add a PC tag recently? When I looked at it earlier (the same day they put it up, admittedly) I'm positive I didn't see PC being there. I even Ctrl+F:ed.
Nice either way!

They're probably reading this thread and went "we better ad a pc tag before this becomes a controversy"
Bamco is all in on PC. Unless they get some exclusive deals, I'd say PC among other platforms is a given.

What tags are you guys talking about ? Where ?

There are a few rules governing profile backgrounds and one of them is "Do not use bright imagery, backgrounds should not distract from the profile content".
What a weird rule. Even weirder when I have some backgrounds that do have vibrant colors but some of them are just really dark and washed out

Nice they're supporting legacy consoles like PS3 and Vita tho
aren't these rather recommendations than rules? because profile itself has a darkish transparent background over all essential profile data, so this rule makes 0 sense, if it's a rule, it only makes most profiles following this advice useless.
Yeah, I suppose they're more guidelines than rules, with the exception of the one stating that profile backgrounds must be appropriate for all ages. The idea is that the background image shouldn't clash with screenshot showcases and other images.

Late Shift is out with a 20% launch discount.
If any FMV developers are reading this, hire the dude who played Jenks in Contradiction the next time you're developing a FMV game. I miss him so.

Nice, thanks! So we'll get our Steam code next week.
Looks like Steam will soon be banned in Chechnya.

It seems the new trend for publising games is to have a launch discount on Steam and nothing (except the 10% discount for monthly subscribers) on the Humble Store. For instance:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/584980/
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/late-shift
Earlier, it was the same for The Sexy Brutale: preorder discount on Steam, while the game is not listed on Humble Store ; then the game is released and the preoder discount vanishes on Steam, while the game appears on Humble Store.
In the case of Late Shift, it is weirder since the game first appeared on Humble Store though. Why is there no discount?

Cluckle's Adventure follows a similar stage concept to Super Meat Boy.
Stages are short but you must use your basic abilities; jump, double jump, sword charge, to progress through the stages and complete it while saving the chicks.
It has its flaws, but otherwise is a decent game IMO.

All this talk of Cosmic Star Heroine, I really want to play it but in middle of Bayo and Stellaris: Utopia and approximately 5 other games on my "play soon" list and moving soon
I felt that way too but I went ahead and bought it because it has a good launch discount and the devs legitimately need the support and have been extremely responsive to bugs and putting in patches. But yeah, I probably won't get around to playing it any time soon.

It really is a great little game. I love tooling around with different policies and seeing how each affects everything. At one point as Canadian PM, I had a giant positive surplus -- as in, I'd completely paid off the national debt -- and was getting reelected by like 90 points, hahaha. This was on the default difficulty though.
My only "complaint" is the way it's gameified, so that you can't institute policies in a totally one-sided fashion, lest you get assassinated. I get that they have to have a fail state that's not necessarily losing an election (as you can tamper with that and appeal to popular policies around election time, etc.) but it sucks when you have universal, totally comprehensive healthcare, amazing science and education funding, a giant surplus etc etc., only to be assassinated because you don't want intelligent Design taught in public schools, and abortion is legal. In Canada.
It's a great podcast/new album game too, as you can put it on and it doesn't always require 100% attention.

The Disney Afternoon Collection has been released. No launch discount, sadly.
Digital Foundry RX580 review.
Just watch the first 13 seconds. Worth it.

I've been having a lot of crashes lately, but didn't associate it with updating ES. If it's useful, I think I can provide some crash logs

Yes, I'm sure whoever the small team in charge of porting a bunch of NES games can now move on to developing a triple A Dino Crisis sequel.
