Kinda not a friend of how the vortex campaign in Total Warhammer 2 works. I like the concept of racing for a goal against other races, but that the only challenge in the actual ritual itself is just the game spawning a bunch of big, random chaos units somewhere in your area is kinda lame. There's basically no way to properly halt their assault or stall because they'll ignore everyone else on their way to you and most likely will raze a bunch of your cities before you even have your army collected together.
Either they should
a) make it possible to prepare for their attack (the same way it worked TWH1), so you can make a defense plan, knowing from which ways they are approaching
b) or spawn them at several different locations so you have a bunch of smaller battles instead
Tho, i'd prefer the former cos big battles are awesome.

I wonder if Falcom is gonna notice the negative reaction to Ys VIII translation. Hey, maybe this means the PC version will have a fixed translation by the time it's out!

By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...
Note: One or more keys you added were already listed in ModBot from a previous giveaway of yours, but was not taken. Updating key info to match new giveaway.
Those english to english localizations are hilarious, how does that even happen
I never thought this game would gain traction after Wardell couldnt stop putting his foot in his mouth a few years back
The new (not new) Thief is actually pretty alright. It's very atmospheric and the world is pretty interesting. Obviously the gameplay with movement being context sensitive is not very free-flowing. The stealth encounters don't have ways to creatively clear them, they are more like puzzles I guess.
I think completely on it's own it's fine. I was not expecting much based on impressions I'd seen, though.

Well, let's ask ourselves what's worse - their translation or PC port?

Is that the NISA translated one?

Just got back from watching Blade Runner a couple of hours ago. It's really good. Definitely check it out if you are a fan of the first movie and/or Villeneuve's previous work.
Putting Quake Champions in the monthly is a smart move. The Steam player count for the game hasn't been particularly amazing so this should hopefully give it a good boost.
I'm curious about one thing though... if I were to redeem the Quake key on my account, will that stop me from buying the full champion's pack down the line? Can anyone who has redeemed the key check if you are still able to purchase the full game? Thanks.

Well yeah, nobody else has translated Ys 8.
I meant that I knew one Ys was being done by NISA. Wasn't sure if it was VIII.
That girl from XSEED who cried about it must be even more pissed now =/

Pretty much the entire monthly bundle looks great to me and I don't think I have any of 'em (well except Wargames.. THANKS LASHLEY! )
Some day I'll be back on my feet and able to afford fucking $12 for a Humble Monthly. Gah.

It gets considerably easier after you get at least 2 higher quality guardians - their abilities and defense/damage boosts should help quite a bit. The one that gives you armor (don't remember the name) is very good in almost any situation, and essential against other opponents with armor (such as Gargos himself). But yeah, that mode can be tough, especially in the later stages when you start getting lots of hard tier 3 opponents.

Sweet bundle this month, next month....not for me. I already have ESO, if this was the gold edition I may have bit but I dont need all the F2P stuff personally (quake, ESO and ESL) will probably go on hold this month.
But 8 apparently has a really good story.
So I just gave away a key for a game that I already own and the key has been redeemed by the recipient. If I try to redeem the key again, Steam tells me that I already own the game. Has it always been like this? Shouldn't it tell me that the key is invalid instead? Is there any way to check if the key has actually been redeemed?
arts&crafts
Member
I think it has always been this way. It probably checks first, if you own the game and 2nd if it is valid. Although that doesnt make sense as when you put the key in it doesnt know what game it is before checking if the key is valid now that I think about it.

So guess what, Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection now has its Steam page.
VIII really expands the amount of required and optional story in an Ys game, mainly because there's just much more to explore in the game's setting than in Celceta or Seven before VIII. So delivering a mediocre, relatively insulting localization (on top of over-promising the PC simultaneous launch and apparently rushing the port itself) shows how desperate NISA is to cheap out while presumably taking the whole pile of Falcom's upcoming games. I'd be happy with XSEED holding to Trails for dear life, but they're getting close to offering what NISA did for Ys VIII (day-and-date launch, Europe, French TL based on English script, nice LE, etc) while having much better localization standards.
I'm about 80% sure that you used to get the "invalid" message once the key was redeemed, whether you owned the game or not. I occasionally give away keys in Twitch chat (don't judge me kappa) and I'm pretty sure this was the way I checked whether a key had been taken or not. Noticed this for the first time about a month ago when someone called me out for re-posting a key for a game that had apparently already been redeemed.

I just got one image to sum up NISA's subpar localization and PC port delay of Ys VII: Lacrimosa of DANA:
Had no idea you did it yourself, it's great
To the top of the wishlist it goes
I wonder why Ys VIII is still there...
That's the diplomatic way of putting it.

Tried getting guacamelee and it didnt work so its prob that one!
Also, chroma squad is so good. Someone take it.
Well, at least the gameplay would still make it enjoyable, even if they messed up the full potential of the game for the west.
heh that was fast couple hourse ago when i posted GoG page steam one wasnt live yet

Can't deny that! I just wish the PC port developers had an easier time working on this project.
Somewhat OT, but Sara @ XSEED recently summarized why Xanadu Next's been having new bugs not found in the Japanese release (with fan translation). This makes me a little apprehensive thinking about technical challenges for Dinosaur: Reusrrection when XSEED inevitably localizes that.
Hm, not sure why it wouldn't give guacamelee, that's a new key I added today. The person who had an issue was able to get the key, it just didn't redeem. It was a key that I had put up before, so it must have gotten redeemed somehow since then.

Weird! I probably messed up entering or something. No worries!

At least Sara isn't giving up yet but yeah, seems like modernizing old Falcom PC games is going to be a hassle.

Has there been a ModBot garbage dump (not by a user, ModBot does a thing every once in awhile where you send a PM and get a batch of random things that may or may not work) since you first put in the key? Somebody may have got it that way?
I put the my loot request in right before I set up the giveaway so I assume if that was the case the key wouldnt have come back in the results.
