It's not like I'm expecting any of those. Those are just the only things that would really actually excite me, short of some awesome new IP reveal.

Let me search for good pics.
yeah, i don't agree. i think the visuals are very nice and the combat's fun and interesting but almost everything about it felt archaic
things like crafting, inventory management, item quickslots, that shitty teleport menu that added new maps on the bottom instead of the top (and the quest log did the same!), the super cramped character screen that didn't make it super obvious what adding skills/stats exactly did (tho this wasn't that bad), doing things like lockpicking/trap defusing, etc.
why do you have to use the lockpick on the locked door, why can't things be automatically identified, why doesn't enemy stats show based on your highest perception character on every turn instead of only being able to see them during that character's turn?
it was maybe a bit better than in like 1998 but nothing looked refined or modern or streamlined in the way it should be for a 2014 videogame
and i do think there are things that should be streamlined for the betterment of old school rpgs
This is just inviting Valve to literally announce shit.
Feces Simulator 2015; Physics based gameplay like you've never seen before. With a wealth of UGC Creation Tools unlike anything you've ever seen; only now, you wont even get paid. PLEASE BE EXCITED!
This is just inviting Valve to literally announce shit.

You're right, but I am not listening. I already jumped on the Valve announcement hype train.
Sure I want to be amazed too, but I'm just too jaded at this point.
You get hurt less if you pretend not to care

Throw in some pre-purchase incentives and I'm there.

I couldn't find the source you used and only had the GIF to work with.
Just slightly better quality if you choose to use either.

Damn, you're really decked out for christmas huh? All I got was this lousy shirt. And hat. They're both hilariously badly cropped, too.
Made it easy on myself though, just searched for a pic of Kuroi Mato with christmas stuff, luckily there was one and I only had to crop and change the colors a bit

Do you recommend uninstalling ES browser plugin beforehand?

For example. You bought many bundles which give keys. It can be that you have now multiple keys for the same game. But you don't know which key you used and which are unused (maybe you want to give the keys to a friend etc.).
I don't know the actual procedure but you send a query to steam about a key and when you get a mail which says it's activated on your account you then know that key was used by you.
I never did this but from what I've read this should be the gist of it. Maybe I am totally wrong though
In doubt ask JaseC.
-
I am not asking for that though, hah. The less exclusives the better. And bought Exclusives are the worst!
-
-
-
Second fits better somehow but the first one, Damn. Damn.
This game gets a solid amount of love. Would love to see it come to pc at some point.
-
:/
-
Also, this made me smile. I really do not buy new games. lol
don't like these kind of questions but I do value my fellow steam-gaf folks opinion.
How is Divinity OS? It looks quite intriguing.
-
They are likely to get significantly cheaper in the close future.
-
But wasn't this procedural generation already being used over 20 years ago with Elite?
It was out of necessity back then because of storage restrictions afair. Still a very clever method which should be worked with and upon more. I sense a lot is possible with that.
-
But it's a pleasant dialect tbh.

Art is nice but I do hope there's a good story to it as well.

My old heart can only take this much.
-
But yeah, I seriously can't imagine a big pub stay off a platform with millions of users because of porting issues. Heck, I'd wager most pubs would rather put out horribly bad ports than none at all!
Then again, it is weird that PC is there as well. Hm. Did Sony just pony up enough to get the game away from xbox? I can't imagine anyone paying to get the game on pc system. Who would? There ain't no system holder after all.
Killer Instinct huh? You really like brawling/fighting games don't you. Shouldn't you be "hyped" for Street Fighter V then? As it is the biggest thing in the fighting scene.
Disclaimer: My knowledge about the fighting scene is restricted to my time playing Super Street Fighter 2 on my first gaming machine; Amiga 500!
-
The game itself remains a riddle. Looks story focused which is great. Always great seeing japanese games finding their way on pc
And it should bridge the time gap until sega brings yakuza 1-5, kenzan and ishin to steam.
Suck it bayo/vanquish lovers.... or should I say frosty lovers

I love walking sims. Adore them. Good Lord, this looks so good. And your downside about psychobabble is a positive for me actually.
Looking forward to getting this in the future.
Hm. You are in the anime or game industry? Care to talk a bit about it? Very interested to hear about it first-hand! If you fear being too OT then PM/steam chat please.
-
Hideous???The redesigned version of Higurashi When They Cry (ch. 1) has a store page.
Still looks hideous.
That's super cute! Off to the wishlist!
-
It's really obvious what you should do then. Just don't buy the game for at least 2 months after release. It is the time period pubs are most interested in and the time you can vote with your wallet the most effectively. Afterwards get the game at solid discounts and still enjoy it. The pubs will have gotten the message by that time anyway.

Nah. He's as much of a monster as the hunchback of notre dame or the monster of the opera.

Nice! We were just talking about it yesterday as well. Gonna give it a try. Excited about having ES functionalities without having to wait a couple secs.
Do you recommend uninstalling ES browser plugin beforehand?

No would be my guess. One can ask steam when knowing a cd key as to whether he has used the key.
For example. You bought many bundles which give keys. It can be that you have now multiple keys for the same game. But you don't know which key you used and which are unused (maybe you want to give the keys to a friend etc.).

Crazy times. Such a game being exclusive to PC. Haha. Would have never guessed the stepchild of gaming platforms to be in such a healthy position. More and more I am glad I chose PC as my main platform. Weird though. If Sony payed for exclusivity then why not go full? Why be ok with PC as well?
I am not asking for that though, hah. The less exclusives the better. And bought Exclusives are the worst!
Artstyle looks very similar to IV. Wish I was into fighting games. So many great games available. And new stuff on the horizon with DOA, SFV, Guilty Gear. But I just can't. I wan't a story, exploring characters. Not just fighting. I watched the "story movie" of a fighting game and it was surprisingly entertaining. Like a solid b-movie.
-
These gave me a good chuckle.

That's actually a very nifty method!

Damn. Got me all pumped up.The first one that is

Ah yes. Speak of the devil" It is coming. Wait Online? Aww man. Just bring the first game.

With the new venture into streaming, is steam gonna stream this as well?

Life is Feudal and Bedlam look super cool though. But yeah, like you said. Not 24$ cool.

30% or 50% for DS2 no discount on DLC or season pass.
I definitely didn't mean to imply that it was all great. And I didn't ever mention streamlining, yo. Although it does need a lot of it. But mechanically it's seen a lot of good modernisation, and a lot of jank has been cut out. But there's still a lot left. And I think some of your examples are excellent, because having the player manually pick the lockpick, then click the door really isn't great design.
And... Well, I actually agree with all the other examples aswell. It's far from perfect and flawless, but it's the best modernisation I've seen thus far, even if it could still use quite a lot more, especially in the streamlining and GUI department. (Fuck the teleporter menu. Seriously. Fuck it.)
Ofcourse there's only so much you can do with a limited budget, but still, a lot of the stuff that I really disliked, and things that put me off, were mostly very, very arbitrary things. Here's to a more streamlined and well-designed Original Sin 2, eh?
Excluuuusiiiiiive preorder DLC!: A playerskin that consists of a golden, diamond-studded poo.
Digital Deluxe Super Megaton Incredibad Editionalso includes the following hats: Heavy Weapons Guy Ushenka, Sniper Hat, Engineer Hat, Gordon Freeman Glasses. SPECIAL OFFER:
Buy the season pass NOW! to get all 10 of the metal-plated pebble-shites we've got lined up!
It's alright, I was thinking of the peasants on mobile that haven't turned off automatic picture loading ^^
Gorgeous screenies though

hekk05 did you want any of those?
I've only did this one thus far.
Note: I just know how to crop and resize. I can't do anything to fancy aside from transparent if it's a render as those above.
Be careful, that thing is rusting over and rickety as fuck

No. But a few years ago a publisher contacted german fansubbers to do the subtitles for the DVDs with the fansubbers. I was in charge of editing and writing booklets for the project.
But if you work with a publisher you get to know quite a bit about the ways of the industry and how japanese publishers act... all high and mighty..

Am I the only one who doesn't bother to read these? Sorry but three quoted posts is my limit, more is somehow extremely hard to read.
Also I'll go ahead and copyright Feces Simulator 2015. I'd buy a poo-physics sim with gold-plated, diamond-studded poo any day of the week. So hands off, you thieves!
Bollocks, I usually set my limit at four when writing a post! Unless the quotes are super small, I'll extend to 5. So I assume you didn't read about my utterly incredible game? I mean, Valve's utterly feceslicious game?

Would some of you be interested in a "tips and tricks" guide for Rogue Legacy?
I've gotten more familiar with the game and it could help others get past the initial barrier of the game. I'll be busy during the weekend and if I don't post it by then it would definitely go up by Monday.

It's also heading in the wrong direction on the same track as the Nintendo hype train.
At least when the two crashes into each other, I'll technically be on both of them. choo choo!

i dunno i'd like some examples of these jank cutting or modernizations you're talking about
i found the game to be pretty much an old school game through and through, in both the good and the bad

Well that's surprising. Fansubbers doing official work? That's actually a nice thing as fansubbers do very often put a lot more work and effort into their work.

I am a law graduate, but actually german law is useless in China, so right now I am just doing a shitty job till I go back to Germany at the end of next year.
It wasnt really surprising. For the project they got a japanese-german translator and quite a lot of people that knew about the stuff animefans would want.
So instead of "Ms. Name ABC" it was "Name-san" and things like that. It was quite nice actually, but seriously.
The japanese publishers were shit. That was one of the reasons, besides the poor sales for some titles, why Tokyopop Germany stopped buying anime rights.
Actually if you work with them, you also learn quite a bit about how DVD-encoding/Bluray-encoding works. In a normal mkv/mp4 file you can add a lot of effects with the right tools. Moving Karaoke, special effects when someone does a special attack and things like that. That wasnt really that easy when you work with DVDs.
Heck yeah man, I'd love to read it. And I could do with a few tips... I've beaten one boss, but I can't seem to really progress after killing the prick! > Game is hard.
That would require actual thinking, and I'm too damn tired to do actual thinking. Maybe another day. I do like the decreased focus and dominance of dicerolls, though. And I loved the fact that you could distract NPCs with one party member and then pickpocket them with another. Speaking of which, I really, really liked the coop implementation. It's so much fun when playing together with friends.
I expect one within the next 4-6 months. But I really don't expect one tonight.
Also please, can we have another Disney-GIF?

Too much KH has scrambled my brain. I'm sure Nomura thinks he's crafted an elegant and thought provoking world but really it's fag packet poetry.
Since none of these miserable gits are going to do it allow me to say welcome to the dark side of GAF! I would shoot your a Steam Group invite but sadly I'm on my phone but hopefully someone will sort you out soon(ish)

Well now you've got me interested. Thanks for the writeup, shame that it didn't all work out for you. Maybe for someone like me it'd still work? On the list to grab at some point.
Well, he managed what Kojima couldn't - Making an incredibly convoluted, obtuse story without making any real retcons. Which is amazing, even if the story isn't.
And the worst about KH is that you need like half a dozen different consoles to get all the story through gameplay >_>
I would but I can't for the life of me find you. If you add me I can add ya' to the group. ID is Maintz, name is Maniac. Avatar is BJ Blazkowicz with a baby-cap and a pacifier.

I'm pretty sure the worst thing about KH is either the story or the gameplay. Maybe a combination of both. :3
Uhhhh... that seems... I'm going to have to assume that British context makes "fag packet" into something different than it is in the US?
I won't buy it till the first sale occurs: 25% off or more.
Sadly most people will give in a lot sooner.
This is the main reason I hated Dear Esther. Really hope Everybody's Gone To Rapture's storyline is a little more down to earth and graspable. I just can't enjoy a game if the narrative is so far out in space that I have not a single idea what's going on. I fully support the walking simulator genre, but will be disappointed if they all end up following that trend storywise.
You're now back on my shitlist again*. And you'd just gotten off it again
The story is all kinds of jank though, but I really like the games anyway. Cute narrative (in the main games, anyway), really nice aesthetic and the combat, whilst simple more often than not, is really cute and neat. And fucking Disney, man. Disney. Bernardo must appreciate it

Just kidding, you were never off it**

Okay, okay. I don't actually have a shit list. Well, I do. It's my ignore list. It's very short. It has a few incredibly annoying people on it.
Damn shame we wont get to play it, huh? Only them there filthy peasants will

Yeah, I remember reading many guides on nifty stuff with ass and similar things when I made videos for relatives. But it's really nice that actual anime fans had input into licensed material. Wonder how the industry is currently standing though. I only ever saw physical stuff in a relatively far away big city. Guess it's all digital now.
