I'd actually be more excited about this than Trails of Cold Steel.

More port guesses, however improbable they might be: Pandora's Tower, The Last Story, Fragile Dreams.
If Pandora's Tower somehow made its way to PC I'd be in love. Its my favorite Wii game. Was basically a 3D Zelda game with more dungeons and less overworld. It may not have been the biggest budget, but it made do with what it had VERY well. Some of the puzzles were hard tho x_x

Though, doesn't Nintendo own the rights to the game (and The Last Story too)? I don't really know what exactly went on there with those games. Nothing's impossible, but...

I think you could get a better result around the edges with the polygonal lasso in photoshop. That's what I use when I get bored and do some avatar requests.

I used a combination of paint.net lasso and a bit of magic wand when I can get away with it. The main thing being when you're shrinking it down to 100x100 or so, you can have little mistakes in there.

I did hear that was the case, although I have no idea how how to confirm it for myself. As long as there's a possibility though, it's probably better to treat it as a pipe dream.
 
I've had a stressful week, but finally got some good news. Sigh.

I remember thinking Murray was really phoning it in. Probably only did it as a favour to the other guys and a quick paycheque.



There are a few good ones in the last giveaway I did that were never claimed:

Grim Legends: Song of the Dark Swan -- MB-50F6A4CA6BCCAA70
Grim Legends: The Forsake Bride -- MB-602E64E2FE342EC1 - Taken by Genki
Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart -- MB-335A340EFC79F739

Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren's Call -- MB-B17167A2B89A7ECB - Taken by Purkake4. 4 entrants total.

I took The Cursed Heart but when I activated the key it was The Siren's Call (I don't have any problem with this but just in case someone takes the Siren's Call and it gets another different game :p).

In other news Valencia just beat Real Madrid bwahahaha (it's the only worthwhile thing we've made this football season).

Why does he wear the mask!?
NVIDIA Fast Sync doesn't seem to work for me on a 60fps monitor/TV.

Stutters. It displays about 90fps according to overlay and steam, but lags like it's 20fps

I have vsync on too

Watch the first 10 seconds and you'll notice what I mean

Anyone else having trouble with the Steam Community today? It reads "there was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later."

I have been messing with it for an hour now, and it seems to be something on Valve's side.

If I were to play a game achievements would still unlock, right?

EDIT: Changed the default server and everything works fine now. Valve needs to get on this.

Remember this game?


It had a PC release


Well in Japan, this was the PSX version's cover


For that matter, how was the PC ver. compared to the PSOne ver? Would really like for it to be re-released on PC.

Master of Orion is on sale.
How not accessible at all it is?

(The only other space 4x game I've played is Endless Space 1 and I am horrible horrible at it)

I was actually thinking of picking up Berserk until I saw it was basically a Dynasty Warriors game... you can only reskin the Yellow Turban Rebellion so many times.

I was curious about it 'cause I kept seeing front-page coverage for it on Steam and elsewhere.

Then I watched the GB QL.

Man, talk about flat, brain-dead gameplay in a lackluster & sterile environment. Yeeks.

Oh well, at least Jeff saved the QL with his antics.

It's basically just a remake of the original. Gorgeous visuals but the gameplay isn't very deep.

I guess in that sense it might be just what you're looking for if you're new to the genre.

Still think you'd be better served with Stellaris though.

Remember this game?

This was one of my favorite demos on PSX. I never bought the game but I have been playing the demo for days. This was actually very innovative: a duel game involving tower defense, creep construction and a roaming hero unit.

As far as I remember it was fine. Not that I knew much about ports at the time but I played the crap out of it.

The GB Quick Look is what turned me off from it too, I was hoping/half way expecting it to be similar to Dragon's Dogma from the very little I had heard and saw but that turned out to be the opposite.

That time where you've just completed a game and are now unsure what to play next, despite a large library of started/unplayed games.
I've noticed that I've nearly completed every game I bought last year and this year, except bundles obviously, so I'm currently out of a 'high priority' game.
...When did I become this efficient.
No good sales for wishlisted games either right now.

So after giving it some thought I did the only proper thing to do in this situation and started up Ys Origin again for some arena and boss rush fun. Welp.

If this was ever remastered and released on Steam. I wouldn't loathe EA too much after that.

Why are you rushing so much, there's still a month till Atelier Firis. :p

I hope to finish some games in that time, as Sophie was preventing me playing much else!

I have games lined up and waiting to play or finish, but from time to time I get some urge to play something not on the list and that messes things a little.
and by a little I mean a lot

it's sounds so incredible for me that people can be out of high priority games to play on PC these days

100 hours though, and I haven't even perfected all items what I usually do in Atelier games.
Whew, congrats.

Technically, I still have tons of high priority games left. I just don't own them yet <.<
Should have bought more during the winter sale. The barrage of steam sales in the second half of the year always makes me forget that the first half is basically completely empty.
And no good sales on other sites right now as well..
