I thought you replied to my second post. Whoops. Anyway, if I were Microsoft, I'd ensure that my contribution towards the game's development itself ensured the competing platform didn't receive the game until the agreed-upon date. The PC release being moved forward, however, is actually something I would agree is a possibility given it will be sold on the WinStore.

I truly wonder who will buy it on MS's store instead of Steam....Live achievements whores or Xbox lunatics perhaps.

I thought that was ice for a second and was thinking of watercooling gone wrong.


The truth is far more horrible.

You just know we'll get some entertaining threads on gaming side talking about how Windows Store is the one real place to get it.

Sure, I'd do the same.
For franchises that sell.
Microsoft isn't NVIDIA, they won't do things out of spite, just out of business sense.
The exclusivity deal didn't pan out, according to sales data we have.
There's no big announcement of "Return of Tomb Rider 2", exclusive to X1.
While personally, I'd prefer a February/March release (because January is Dragon's Dogma month), I don't think an early PC release is that far fetched.
Especially if the game will have a 1 month Windows Store exclusivity deal.

It's not as though Microsoft could have known that the game would sell so poorly. It's easy to look back and say, "Well, of course a confirmed timed exclusive wouldn't sell gangbusters", but you have to remember that the nature of the game's Xbox exclusivity was something Microsoft strongly wanted to avoid clarifying.

Finished my imperial guard playthrough of Age of Decadence. Some moments where bonecrushing hard, but it was really enjoyable approaching the situations a lot differently from the merchants way. I also got to be arena champion. I think i'm going to do another playthrough with a loremaster next.
 
Hello SteamGAF.

I've been away for a while.

I just began playing Undertale, and I think that so far is the game that has gotten more joy out of me on many years.

I have read nothing on this game (to not spoil myself), but is the game well received here?

Game of the year for many people here, i'd say.

Yup. Anyone in SteamGAF who has played it has nothing but praise for it, and some have given similar statements as you have about having more joy out of the player than in years.

Oh my ... . I just cleaned my PC 2 weeks ago (same case) but this picture makes me want to clean it again. I really wonder what environment this thing is standing in to be this clogged up. Also wonder how the intake fans look like, there is always this really fine dust that finds its way inside the case and ends up sticking to the blades..

It's just a dust filter doing what dust filters do you guys.
The case is pristine inside, it's so clean you could eat from that surface.
Yes, it's my PC from few years ago. :p

Amazon.fr has updated the ROTTR PC page, with a January 29th as the date.
It's a tuesday, could be legit.

Amazon France lol.
Also that's not Tuesday, that's Friday.

I'd like to believe that date is correct, but 80 days exclusivity seem like a weird number there, no matter how badly the game bombed on xbone. If it were over 3 months, I'd find it more likely. 2 months seems too little.
Either way I have bookmarked the app on steamdb and it gets frequent updates.

edit: Also I'll buy it day one, whatever the date is.

I just see that image as the Fractal R4 dust filter doing its job - stoping the evil dust getting into the PC. But cleaning the filters should really happen every 2-3 months at least.

Isn't most home dust dead skin?

I think I got the real ending for Undertale.

I spared all my enemies and at the end the flower told me something like "go check on Undyne". So i reloaded and went to her house. I did all the lab stuff (finding the VHS with my name in the video creeped me out a bit) and then saved Asriel.

Here's what i thought about it:
1) The humour is 10/10
2) The combat is great and the enemies are so varied that it never gets repetitive
3) Papyrus is the GOAT
4)
I was starting to get really mad at the "fake" ending where the game crashes. I really thought my save file got corrupted and had to restart everything. I actually wondered a bit in the dark before quitting the game again. As the game wouldn't let me restarted I actually considered uninstalling it and restarting. Fortunately a friend who was watching me play suggested me to try checking again in the darkness
5)
At first I thought the experiments with the souls ended up with creating Mettaton, but it turns out it was the flower. So is Mettaton just a robot?
6)
Is there any point in restarting the game? After loading again the flower advised me against it, and now there is a True Reset button I can choose. Am I still missing something?


If I'm done with Undertale I could jump on Dark Souls 2


Any chance it'll reach this price in the Steam sales? I have some money in my wallet that I never use but I don't want to pay more than on another site

~1 month until I can experience Dragon's Dogma for the first time

UDD34gKl.jpgn

dragon's dogma is one of those games where you have more fun trying new things than sticking with 1 class, enemies variety is low and there aren't much depth with each class.

don't think it's as balanced as the souls games, but if you like dmc games and their design choices I think you'll have fun

You can go for the genocide ending if you can stomach the pain.
