Never even heard of this game but looks cool and i like the Ys games on Steam. Looks pretty cool and I might pick it up during the steam sale.

Relevant tweets by Rami Ismail yesterday:
Maybe the observation below will annoy you, yet look at the stats:
Okay, the game is niche, but the weird pricing might not have resulted in amazing revenue.
As Rami pointed out, the good thing is that since the game is good, it got close to 100% positive reviews, but apart from this, does it "pay the rent" (that is the subject of a bunch of recent tweets about indie dev by Rami)?
And this is a game made by someone who has been making games for years and has been featured in tweets by Jonathan Blow not long after The Witness was released, so it got exposure to the target audience.
Edit: There are 5,000 owners though, so maybe it was the right move for him. It might translate into $100,000 revenue for the year. My example contradicts my point.
Relevant tweets by Rami Ismail yesterday:
Yes, you see this human psychology on display frequently in Early Access games like Rimworld, Factorio, etc that intentionally keep the price high in order to target a particular demographic.

Yeah, Titanfall 2 was definitely worthwhile.

It's reasonable to keep the price relatively high during sales when there seems to be some thought behind it, but if 2K keeps the sale for the Rising Tide expansion for Civ: Beyond Earth at just 50% from a base price of 30 one more time, then I'm deleting

That game looks kind of dope though.
Haven't bought an EA game in over 5 years might as well keep the streak going.

Eh, last EA game I played was Dead Space 3 when it was included in the Humble Bundle.
Since EA Access included Battlefront this month, I thought spending 4 to play that, Unravel, Catalyst and B4/Hardline was ok. For now, I dropped Unravel after the second level because it bored me, Catalyst was boring too but since the main campaign is like 4-5 hours I managed to complete it wasting only my time, Battlefront is nice but as I said the "base" game without dlcs feels empty of contents.
There's Titanfall 1 too, but I doubt the player-base is good those days and there's no single-player content, so I think I won't bother downloading that.

My last 5 EA new release games:
Mass Effect 3 (Xbox 360)
Warp (Steam -- this is one of the last titles they released on Steam during the transition over to Origin)
Dead Space 3 (Origin, from the Humble Bundle, my only Origin purchase* ever)
Fuse (Xbox 360)
Peggle 2 (Xbox 360)
It's hard to imagine a scenario where I buy another EA game since I'm not going back to Origin, they're not coming back to Steam, and I'm not buying a PS4 or an Xbox One.

EA sent that game out to die, so expect that relatively soon.

Demo will be released simultaneously worldwide per time table below:
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
UTC 12/19 00:00
PST 12/18 16:00 (Americas)
GMT 12/19 00:00 (Europe)
JST 12/19 09:00 (Japan)
HKT 12/19 08:00 (Asia)
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
So yes, the demo is scheduled to come out just a hair bit early. Hope you all enjoy it. In terms of performance and customization options, it should be fairly indicative of the final product. Do note that the demo currently lacks borderless window mode due to a last minute bug.
How is handled the coin stuff on PC? we'll get a steam dlc code to redeem later or the game needs the save like on console? If so, if I uninstall the demo, the save will remain on PC?

Neat !
By the way:
GHOST TRICK GHOST TRICK GHOST TRICK GHOST TRICK !!!!
Either that or Okami HD.
GHOST TRICK
That's a good question and I don't know off hand. I would have to imagine the full game references the save state created by the demo.

Some clarification here
The first dynasty warriors game was relead on psone and was a fighting game
From the 2nd series onwards it became the musou we all know as now
As such in japan the first game may be see as musou zero or the like
Why?

really enjoying Flame in the Flood. Love that there is an actual sense of progression, something I feel is lacking in most survival games. Case in point, just did the first major objective (to get to a radio tower to get a boosted signal for my radio) and found out about a new region where there are maybe survivors, which is where im headed now. Nothing major, quite cliche in fct, but its...something, its a goal at least, which again, these games offten lack.

For me, it's that EA hasn't made a single game that I'd be interested in. I was gonna buy Sims 4 until reports came in that it was nerfed as fuck and even though I didn't like the SWB beta, I was gonna give it a chance because my friends started playing it. They only did for 2 days though, hah...
I think Origin itself is alright, but EAs games sucks ass.
where are the clover games, nod if they're coming
I mean, they managed to screw up Plants vs Zombies 2. How do you even do that

I sure hope so, I just bought it this morning. It's looks adorable and all the impressions I've heard and seen are positive.
Look, it's not just about "oh GOTY 2016 isn't already 75% off." That never happened and we're all well aware it didn't. There were tons of things that were basically just throwing games and credit at us. GMG playfire gave me over $100 in credit for some achievements. Card money paid for all of my on Steam purchases for almost two years, I could count on sale cards alone to give me at least $10 almost every sale in credit. I bought 3-4 bundles on Groupees every month in 2013 and 2014, I've bought 3 from them all year this year. I get it, shit still goes on sale. But no, it's not as exciting looking forward to a Steam sale, for a myriad of reasons. Dailies were interesting, and yes, sometimes brought substantially better deals than we see now. Events happened like coal that gave us free games and things to do. Storefronts like Amazon pushed huge sales and discounts that were way better than Steam's and now they basically aren't even in the market any more. Are things bad now? Of course not. There's still great deals to be found every day. The Humble Monthly is consistently fantastic. And we get more and more great releases every year. But if the winter sale was from Thursday to Monday of next week instead of almost two pointless weeks long again, it would be just as good or quite possibly even better, and you certainly wouldn't have said that two years ago.

I think it's definitely true that if it's your first Steam sale, you'll find more than enough to enjoy yourself. I try not to complain too much because I have a backlog longer than I will ever be able to play and mostly I'm happy with what I have. But I do think there have been at least three major changes that make newer sales "less good" even as they are still great:
1) Competition from bundles and other super-discount opportunities and third-party Steam resellers that can discount more deeply
2) Decline of the meta-game making the sales feel less engaging even if the discounts themselves are the same.
3) I do believe that the pace of discounts has slowed and the level of featured discounts is not as good as they once were. I would guess the median discount used to be 66-75% and is now 40-50%.

tried the Astroneer free preview on W10 Store...I liked it
I'll think about picking up the Early Access version on Steam...game could use a bit more tutorials or instructions...also since it's procedurally generated luck plays a part for where you begin since you could end up somewhere without much of anything around or get lucky and have lots of stuff close by
