The Steam page for Celeste is live. It's from the developer of TowerFall Ascension.

Waiting on Steam reviews of A Rose in the Twilight before buying it but it seems not too many people got it. Poor game, came out on the worst possible day to get buried by other major PC releases.

Man after the super generous dodge window from Nier Automata I'm getting destroyed in Bayonetta.

Dino Crisis would look so good on Steam. So much so, I made this mock-up. Please Capcom do it for me.
I also made this tweet you could retweet if you want. This isn't a large scale "Sega Ports for PC" initiative. But I might as well put it to work.

Time line is all bayonetta. Do I need to jump on this train too?

 

[Anno]

I started playing it again a few weeks ago after having played it briefly back when A Realm Reborn was released. The game holds up alright but there are some noticeable signs of aging. There were a few new features and sections that didn't exist back in 2014 when I played, but I'm still fairly early in the game and haven't even come close to thinking about doing any of the expansion content. The game seems a bit more balanced for "solo play" now, if you're like me and don't really have a group of people to play with. Bonus points because trial accounts don't have a time limit any more so you can solo ever class up to 35 (if you want to) before paying anything.

The downsides I've come across are mostly comparisons I've drawn to The Elder Scrolls Online which is my typical MMO of choice given it's lack of monthly fees. Predominantly this comes down to FFXIV's lack of voice acting. Major cut scenes have voice acting but this is easily 1/100th or 1/1,000th of the game's content. So expect to be reading - a lot. Given the nature of this game, it's easy to just mash the button to make the character "shut up and give me my quest" and then afterwards going "I guess I really should have paid attention to that." I know this happens with any MMO really, but I felt like ESO handles that aspect better as the voice acting is generally at least acceptable (if not great) and it helps to draw you into the story - even the small side quests.

There is an absolutely mind-blowing amount of content to enjoy, but of course the downside here is that it's designed to be a bit of a slog since the game is still running on the subscription model. Some quests feel really needlessly drawn out.

The game is still fun, and there is a new expansion pack releasing later this year so there is certainly renewed interest. But given that there are some really great MMOs out there jumping on the "no subscription cost" model, it's difficult to recommend FFXIV unless you are a huge FF fan or have a bunch of friends that play the game.

Thanks for all the impressions. E:SO is the game I was weighing it against for now and for some reason when I watched an hour or so of both on Twitch I gravitated towards FFXIV. I am downloading ESO as well though as I own it from a long ago Steam sale.

Mostly I think I'm just doomed to further frustration either way, though. Both games seem really good and polished but I worry I won't really encounter any of the friction that keeps games interesting to me. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Nier is close to 250K (https://steamspy.com/app/524220)
Owners: 245,555 ± 14,331

While Bayonetta hasnt even passed 5K sales (https://steamspy.com/app/460790)
Owners: 4,500 ± 3,330
I guess SEGA should just give up, pull Bayonetta from sale and cancel that Vanquish port. Nobody wants that platinum goodness. You have failed me SteamGAF!

No, I don't think it's just you. I enjoy them immensely in many, many different mediums and styles but disembodied just takes the... breastiness of them away somehow

Countdown to Story Mode for The Long Dark

IT'S HAPPENING

There will be one more Sandbox update before Story Mode launches. More details about that update will be available soon. The team continues to be hard at work, creating the best experience we can for you. We appreciate your patience while we do so.

Nice! It's really cool how the sandbox mode took off and gave them some financial freedom (particularly when their Kickstarter only made 250k).

[septicore]

Grabbed Bayonetta from Nuuvem for $16.15 using 'MEUCUPOM' as the promo code.

Warning though, the key is across the globe, except China, Hong Kong SAR China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, South America, Europe and United Kingdom.

Do you like anime games? A Vita will let you play Dino Crisis along with more anime than you can handle.

 

[pislit]

Damn, Bayo is 10$ in my region. Unfortunately, I am not really a fan of these types of games. I guess I'll try it when it goes to sale this summer or by winter.

https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/bayonetta-digital-deluxe-edition-steam-key--3216-1 wouldn't it be the cheapest(ROW, that is) on here? Or can you only check out if you're from the UK? it's like €15 on there

 

[gabbo]

Unless Bayonetta counts, nothing that I can recall and im not big on anime in general (much to my monthly dismay in here). Dont own a Vita either, so methinks im SOL unless i can play it on a ps3 somehow.

GamesPlanet sells worldwide, however Nuuvem's keys are merely activation-restricted.

Persona 5, Battlegrounds, Overwatch event, Bayonetta PC

releases plz hold on

Welp, that's the end of Nier for me. Save is gone and game uninstalled.

[ramoisdead]

Bought Bayonetta at Nuuvem with code. Cheaper than the Humble Monthly discount.

 

[bbd23]

man I bought bayonetta, finally installed XCOM 2 recently but now im looking at witcher 3 mods and I want to do a second playthrough

 

[Tellaerin]

Don't let your dreams be dreams

I'm still holding out for Anarchy Reigns.

 

[PandaPedinte]

So I played Stellaris for a bit and I'm already liking the game even though I habe no idea of what I'm doing. It feels a lot more deep and complex than Crusader Kings II.

 

[Teggy]

All of you guys buying Bayonetta are suckers. I bought Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U and SEGA still hasn't ported any games to that thing.

Now we just need Yakuza and Persona, Grief, work more of that magic to capture Atlas.

Saw the Bayonetta release, so went and bought it.

Ugh, wish I had known about that code
Oh well, at least the LatAm key is already quite cheap without it (about $9.90 or so)

So, across the globe except for large parts og the globe?

lol, seriously.

 

[rainking187]

So I bought GameLoading quite a while ago on Indiegamestand, and got a key to upgrade to the members bundle. I discovered recently that the key I got activated a separate package from the one being sold on the Steam store and that no one ever updated that package with the last five videos. I created a post in the Steam forums asking if someone could fix that but I'm not sure anyone will read it.

Why the heck is Ace Attorney not on steam yet? It's too bad it's not a very replayable game but it's the one big series Capcom has skipped (sorry Dino Crisis fan).

I have no clue. Capcom has HD assets for the original trilogy as they ported it to smartphones, if it was priced around $20 it would sell very well on Steam. The platform has tons of interactive visual novels already and AA is in the top tier. Only thing I'd want cleaned up is the animations and mouth syncing.

 

[Stallion Free]

Very pleased with the Bayonetta and Full Throttle pricing. Picked up both.

it's kind of insane the bulletstorm remaster released for like $50 this same week

 

[Kurt Russell]

Yup, even worse when you consider that the original game is still available on PC (and it still runs and looks really similar to the remaster)
Meanwhile, Bayo is a new game on PC, and it costs less than half the price Gearbox is asking for Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition.

Randy why.

It's really weird. They could pump out a port from the IOS version in like a couple of months. It would definitely bring them quite a bit of profit.

Well, it is Gearbox.

 

[Dinjoralo]

Y'know, I should try my hand at making bogus Steam pages for games not on steam. I know how HTML and CSS work, I could totally do it.

Spoiler

I also found a download for Motiva Sans but shhhhhhh

 

[zkylon]

yeah i guess, it's just bizarre for gearbox to be that out of touch with the market while sega of all companies is selling bayonetta at a lower price that i think it probably should be sold for ?

it's kinda crazy

bulletstorm at this moments sits just below mount & blade warband at like #50 or something, while bayonetta is #1, but i bet bayonetta would've been #1 if it was $30 too, and that probably would've been more reasonable

it's the unlikely combination of sega's surprisingly kind and gearbox's completely bonkers pricing that's pretty crazy

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

at this point, I would start to speculate on how long Gearbox can have so many commercial failures in the PC market before Take Two decides enough is enough

 

[SunDimension24]

Duke ain't cheap ¯\_(&#12484_/¯ He demanded gearbox raise the price to have more money for bubblegum.

at this point, I would start to speculate on how long Gearbox can have so many commercial failures in the PC market before Take Two decides enough is enough

I'd imagine if Borderlands 3 doesn't light the world on fire, Gearbox is in deep deep trouble.

 

[kagamin]

Having fun with Bayonetta guys?

 

[Servizio]

I feel like Bulletstorm's price was probably a desperate and cynical short term move in response to Battleborn's massive failure. I also imagine there was similar motivations to showing that Borderlands flavored tech demo.
