Hmm, Steam gave me a couple of disk write errors today but I scanned the drive in question and no issues there
Total War: Warhammer has sold just over 1 million on Steam
Not sure if that is thread worthy. Seems impressive considering the game has only been out since May. Also the quality of the game seems to have improved a lot in the past months.

Should I pick up GTA5 on the midweek at $30 or wait for the winter sale?
In what way? They did add more content, but Total Warhammer was incredible from the get go. The patches helped with the performance, though.
It's easily one of the best games this year.
Now if only SEGA would give Alien another shot
Won't be cheaper during the winter sale

It's very good numbers, but it's starting to feel as business as usual for the heavy hitters in the strategy genre now. XCOM2 has been over that mark for a while, and Civ 6 reached it in about a week after it's release.
Non-Steam tho. Steam version is superior because Rockstar Downloader is not so good.
You could always buy just in case and refund if it is.

I really need someone to help me comprehend what Sega is seeing in releasing Azure Revolution on Xbone. I mean, even Final Fantasy sells poorly on Xbox, and that's the biggest JRPG IP ever. Nevermind that Valkyria has no history on Xbox whatsoever - Not even a testing of the waters with a port of VCRemastered.
Or is Sega banking precisely on the IP having no history on the Xbox as some sort of hedge against fans on PlayStation not being quite so enthusiastic about the change in direction? I mean surely if that were the case the JRPG-hungry masses on Steam would have been a better bet, no?

I'm just going off some of the reviews that had been coming since launch, and the improved reviews compared to back then (one of the reasons I decided to wait). I haven't followed Total War sales at all to understand how big it's gotten, but I know it's a usual heavy hitter so to speak.
True. I haven't followed how big Total War has been getting.
SEGA Japan doesn't make any sense.

Durante can consult them on how to actually make a decent PC port.
I'll take that over nothing.
Yeah. For anyone "fearful" of Sega and their PC plans, this points out the plans for the next few years - note the highlighted:
are the Elder Scrolls series known to be progressive towards LGBT people? Ive noticed there are quite a few gay characters in ESO, well at least lesbian characters (baby steps?), but they dont make a big deal out of it, a female character will just casually say her wife needs help or something, which I apreciate.
One of the big characters in the Thieves Guild DLC for example (and also the best character in the dlc) has a whole questline about her girlfriend.
Like I said, there doesnt seem to be any male gay characters (at least that Ive seen) but a little is better than nothing, I guess?

SEGA can start with putting their Atlus titles on PC. I'm sure that will see a growth in sales. Also remastering the Persona series would do wonders for that platform and other modern platforms.

Yeah. For anyone "fearful" of Sega and their PC plans, this points out the plans for the next few years - note the highlighted:
Sega's PC presence is solely focused on western developed PC exclusive games though, by Creative Assembly, Sports Interactive, whatever name those Endless Legends guys go under, etc etc. Bringing Japanese games to PC are clearly an afterthought. At least relative to companies like Capcom, Spike Chunsoft, or Nippon Ichi who have been laser focused on bringing their console back-catalog to PC over the past year or so.
I mean, shit, the other big players - Namco, Square (Ok, somewhat inconsistently), Capcom, fuck even Konami and Tecmo-Koei, aren't just releasing ports, they're releasing day-and-date (or close enough) ports announced at or around the same time, and are reaping the rewards, whilst Sega is being slow and hesitant with not much but Valkyria Chronicles as far as JRPGs released on PC go followed by an anticlimax.

Not as prevalent as ESO it seems. This list seems robust, nothing about Redguard Adventures though.

Yeah me too. I only need Rebel Assault I+II and Rogue Squadron 3D.
Ah shit, another removal? I don't have the €15 to spend on it currently. And this game is still pretty new.
huh. Good on them.
The only people who think SEGA is bailing on PC haven't payed attention to Sega in years.
I mean, I got the impression porting stuff over this console gen is basically 'free' compared to last gen. How many extra copies do they really have to sell to cover the cost of having an extra SKU.

Y'know, someone really ought tease Durante that his precious Atelier came at the cost of Valkyria :V
Clearly a large enough amount that Square Enix's only JRPGs on the horizon for Xbone were announced before Type-0's sales numbers got reported. And I'd reckon Square Enix takes a lot more risks than other Japanese publishers.

That's a huge boost from the most previous one, Attilla, which is sitting at 850k (with a free weekend warning on those numbers).
It's super well deserved. They made a lot of great UI and gameplay changes in Total Warhammer that make it utterly enthralling to play. Plus with how the different factions are designed, each one has a unique playstyle, giving it a huge amount of replayability. I've never been so enamoured with a Total War game before.
The success seems to have changed their DLC plans too. They've delayed the Bretonnia (a playable faction) free DLC in order to beef it up for its new February release, on top of extending the free DLC roadmap:
Apparently other Total Wars did similar stuff, but Total Warhammer has a Paradox-like DLC style, where the coinciding patches bring free elements to everyone, on top of normal bugfixes and improvements. Like for new DLC factions, they're added to the game but are only playable if you purchase it.
Like, is Total Warhammer GotY? It may be.... it may be. Not even Stellaris can stand up to its waaagh.
I'd say hidden object games
I can see why they don't bring that title over. The MMO space is insanely competitive and the startup costs represent a significant risk.
50% discount before a removal ? Activision will be visited by the ghost of christmas past this year

Nah I don't think TMNT is within range yet. When deadpool lost the license, even that sold for 75% off.
That's Bridget's !
I bet Lemmy's
