Played Shan Gui a bit, enough to get half of the archievments. Voices were pretty bad. They generally sound like recorded with a potato and the voice actor of main girl sounds extremely bland and unsure what the words mean she reads. Other girl is better, but still pretty bad. Really bothering me.

I wouldn't trust Square-Enix to sit the right way on a toilet seat.
Yes. I mean, I hope so.
Btw, Happy New Year SteamGAF! It's 2015 here. PC gaming stronger than ever!
Awesome. Do you have or ever have an ipad? I have an Ipad 2 and was wondering how browsing the internet compares to it.
I have a 1st gen iPad mini which is inline with a ipad 2 and I find it works okay for web browsing, although chrome slows down a lot sometimes or gets stuck for a few seconds. I have a tablet from work it has a i5 so it's not really comparable but the atom in that OP should be better than the ipad due to the ram + flash

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I think they probably know that there are people like me that would quadruple-dip (or whatever the word is for 5-dip) on all of them, so I would assume so. The Android ports are all excellent with the exception of VIII which is okay except they took the voice acting out of the game. The problem with bringing the Android ports to Steam would be that they use your device's portrait mode rather than landscape mode. For the 99% of us that don't have vertically positioned portrait mode monitors, it's going to either look terrible or require more work to port than they probably think it's worth.

I don't think so, since PC versions for those games don't already exist and I dopubt porting them would seem like a good investment to SE. I can maybe see them porting one of the mobile games as a test, but nothing more right now. The series isn't very popular in the west.

Soon.

May I have a cookie?
Maybe, though given the sales the series does in the west compared to FF I don't think it might happen anytime soon. Not that I'd cry should it never happen, given my general lack of interest and somewhat of a distaste for the series. I'd be more interested in them porting the SaGa and Mana series to PC (which is even more unlikely).

IIRC quadruple is 4x and quintruple is 5x. *checks Google so as to avoid looking like a moran* Oh yay, Google agrees with me, go me!

Thanks, I have a windows 8.1 tablet with an atom processor, will check the thread, looks just like what I was looking for.
Some of the games are available for smartphones. They could port those to Pc, they already ported ff3 and ff4, weren't they commercially successful?

While we are semi on the subject, can you mix and match Xbox 360 and PS4 controllers? Controllers are expensive and I don't play local enough to to drop 40 on either of them, but if I can run both at the same time that would solve that problem.
You know, I think Fireworks Simulator looks really cool.

Yeah, you can mix and match any variety of controllers, just a few weeks ago I was playing Gang Beasts with 2 360, and 1 DS4.
Reminds me of a similar launch(?) game on the PS2.

Have a safe new year activities fellow asthmatic persons out there!
Thankfully the fireworks here already calmed down so just closing the windows is fine for me. Tomorrow though...

Alright then, I'd quintruple dip on the Dragon Quest games if they came to Steam.
If they ported it directly, it would end up looking like a lot of these portrait-mode shumps that have released recently. The Android and iOS versions force the device into portrait mode.

That's what I meant with "mobile games".
I'm pretty sure FF3 and 4 were successful, but that doesn't mean DQ will be in the same way. I doubt porting the Android games over would take much, but then again I'm not sure if we want that :/. A proper port of DQ8 would be the only thing I'd really want from SE, but that will never ever happen.EDIT: Look at thiiis

I shall cross my fingers that they do for your sake then

I have been looking into getting a Surface Pro 3 for a little bit of gaming on the side as well as an all in one tablet.
I think I will wait for the next iteration of Intel's processors before I jump in.

I watched one of my protagonists in Trails in the Sky slap a little girl across the face. Fucking ice cold. But later on, she's still cheerful and acting as if she likes the guy. I mean, I may not be an expert on Japanese culture, but what the hell, Falcom?
That's the one. I knew it wasn't too far removed from "Fantasia".

Squeenix would never bother with localizing them anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Happy New year GAF !

Well DQ VIII is localized and on Android as noted a few posts behind, same with a few other DQ games, so I wouldn't say it's impossible.
Yeah, it would.

I'm pretty sure no one here wants the DQ8 phone version. It's ok for that platform but that's about it.
Just curious, what's wrong with it?

Allow me to rephrase that:
Squeenix would never bother localizing Dragon Quest games on a platform that isn't iOS or Android as it wouldn't be profitable/the scripts would be too long to re-translate.
<-----
The scripts being too long to re-translate bit is a half-joking reference to this.
What downgrades did DQ8 see for Android?
Well, I'd imagine if we got DQ on PC they would be Android to PC ports, much like FF IV, no re-translation needed.
What's there to re-translate from a already existing iOS/Android release?
Sooner or later they will run out of Final Fantasy games.
It's a port of the Japanese version, so no voice acting and synthesized music. Also classic Dragon Quest menus instead of the monstrosity Level 5 did with the US version.
