Is Clannad worth it at that price? Does it set the bar for VNs?

Yes.

Spoiler

It may not seem like it at first, but it's very good and quite lengthy.

I won't say too much, but the OST is amazing (don't read the video comments).

Town, Flow of Time, People
Farewell at the Foot of a Hill
Snowfield
Roaring Tides II

Snake Pass out March 29th: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Im0I_Vmc7nA

Styx 2, MAHVEL 3, Toukiden 2 and now Snake Pass.
Man if Sonic Mania is coming in march too, it'll be a great gaming month @o@

 

[Blu(e)]

Man I would've bought the Freedom bundle earlier if I knew they would run out of keys for some of the games. Real bummer.

 

[ezodagrom]

I think the last known info from SEGA was in December, that they 'have news to share in the New Year'.
So they still have 10½ months.

Last time they mentioned it was a few weeks ago, late January, saying that we can expect news this year.

45K For Honor players right now on Steam. Add to that at least half of that on UPlay only and i would say that game is having good launch.

My Logitech gamepad just died, so this was the perfect time to finally try one of the rumored XBox controllers, went with the XBox 360 wired. I like it quite a lot so far (after several hours of use), the only thing that's kinda bothering me is D-pad which i find pretty clunky.

Finished Tales of Berseria, which i liked a lot - haven't played Tales games in a long time, and this was a very good time to jump back into this series it seems. Took me 129 hours, but there are still some things left to do to get a 100% completion, but i'll leave those for a future NG+ run.
Slowly making my way through Atelier Sophie on Despair difficulty, it's a stressful and relaxing experience at the same time But i like it better this way - synthesizing best possible items actually gives you a chance to win some tough battles instead of just being the case of "you destroy enemies a bit faster" on lower difficulties.

Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is releasing in a couple of hours, here is a link to my small writeup of this game.

 

[Auraela]

Is guardians of ember any good ?

Im kinda surprised, the twitch streamers they were paying to play it all seemed pretty miserable.

122K twitch viewers right now, it is on second d place right behind LoL that has 139K. Yeah number look good for launch.

https://twitter.com/SEGA_Europe/status/823947011154149376

They keep saying to expect news, but also keep pushing this news back. Just say something meaningful, dammit!

So... is For Honor good? I might end up picking it up along the line.

 

[JaseC]

Also, he doesn't want for Valve to stop adding new games (as far as I understood), he just wants them to test them before adding them to the store. So that the things like bloody missing executable stop happening.

This actually already happens as part of the release approval process. The "issue" is that there's no similar system for patches, so there's no safeguard in place to prevent a stuff-up later down the track.

Updated list of upcoming titles:

Are you not into neoretro games? Because as far as I'm concerned River City Ransom Underground (releasing feb 27th) is the biggest indie release of the month.

 

[Dragon1893]

im at 21 now, doing the post game / true ending stuff. ts weird because it takes you to right before the last boss, but except you going directly to it like normal, it sends you back for more quests and shit... why the fuck isnt this part of the main game I have no idea.

Its like a lost chapter DLC, except its not DLC, its post game semi "NG+" stuff.

edit: dat double post

Hm, figured it'd be longer, glad to know it doesn't require a huge time commitment. Thanks.

 

[Hero Prinny]

im pretty interested in snakepass, looks neat. wonder how long it'll take to beat the game.

Are you not into neoretro games? Because as far as I'm concerned River City Ransom Underground (releasing feb 27th) is the biggest indie release of the month.

Not too much, it is mostly because I am ignorant about this title though. I have seen the name in this thread and don't know much more.



Also, I try to stick to my new year's resolution.

 

[KarmaCow]

I'm confused, how are people using idlemaster to get mass card drops? As in the exact steps because maybe I'm just dumb but seemingly every permutation of settings doesn't work. I've tried idling all games, waiting for games to be over 2 hours, idling individual games, skipping through games quickly or slowly, doing it while offline or online, or even doing it manually doesn't result in card drops with any sort of regularity much less at a higher frequency.

 

[tuxfool]

A Unity port, oh well. It will probably run at 15fps on consoles.

They've made improvements in Unity 5. It no longer is *impossible* to make a complex game run well on consoles.

Also, sometimes it just does not work and you have to try again a few hours later.

I'm getting heavy shades of SNL's The Continental sketches with Christpher Walken. (Or I guess The Continental TV show that those skits made fun of, but the SNL versions are better.)

 

[Aaron D.]

Is Clannad worth it at that price? Does it set the bar for VNs?

I'm debating this one too.

I understand that Clannad is supposed to be a landmark early VN. Epic in length too.

There's a couple other VNs I'd want more (Morgana and Danganronpa), but man that price is good for a genre that rarely sees sales.

So tempted.

Idle all for 2 hours first, then skip through (not too fast). If you haven't refunded a game or haven't refunded one for a long time you don't need to idle all for 2 hours.

Is there a set embargo for Torment yet? So excited for that game and really hoping it manages to live up to the legacy of Planescape even partially.

 

[Ascheroth]

That means you won't get keys for those as soon as you buy?

Yeah, it reads like you no longer get those games at all if you buy now.

 

[dex3108]

So based on this quote

114k on PC so far.. yup this game will have a lasting community for a while.. even with only 20k.

it looks like that more people bought UPlay version of For Honor (if i did math it is 60% vs 40%). That is interesting to see.

 

[Blu(e)]

Nuclear Throne is the only one that's possibly returning. Don't know about the other games.
