Dear god :O

Happy birthday Uzzy!

Remains to be seen how good I am in a video game context.

 

[wetflame]

Quite the giveaway Uzzy! Happy birthday!

 

[Platy]

It's my birthday today, so rather than let the existential dread about my inevitable demise along with the inevitable heat death of the universe and knowledge that all mankind's endeavours are futile and irrelevant on a long enough time scale set in, I'm going to fill that void through video games. Or at least giving some away.

Holy shit ! =O

I am not sure if I am eligible for this (is the "won a game the last day" the moment I enter the giveaway, the time the giveaway is created or the giveaway is shuffled ?) but thank you so much anyway !

Happy Birthday

not sure how much I should say, nor do I remember the "rules" for it (you may have missed some already, but there's always YouTube, even if it's after you beat it), but you want to sleep at the Inn when Shadow is in your party...

There weren't any towns? Maybe not, but in any case, I think maybe you can "catch up" to that stuff at any inn in the future, at least up to a certain point...

I hope you encountered Siegfried on the train -- not sure if that was missable.

you can tell me whatever you want if its missable shit, I dont care.

like, dont tell me Terra takes off her mask and shes Kefka undearneath or something like that, but if its "when you get to Dildo Village, make sure to click the big dildo because theres a secret character you can get" type stuff, I want to know.

There will come a time when you are asked to wait for Shadow. You should wait for him. Just keep in mind he'll be cutting it close.

Curious how your two thoughts on Rev 2 will developed, I liked it personally despite it being budgeted but I still can't quite articulate my thoughts 100% on the title.

Right before shit gets real you need to wait for someone. After shit gets real there are 2 hidden characters you can get.

You will know when shit gets real.

Also, not all fish are created the same.

Well my first impression is that the graphics are noticeably worse than RE6 despite being newer, but I am guessing that has something to do with it also being a Vita game? Gameplay looks to be much like Rev 1 with some enhancements. I like it better than RE6 so far because it has more of an RE feel

Spoiler

and also since RE6 is a trash game, no offense to Jawmuncher

It was certainly a budgeted release. I won't say too much, but I think the game generally gets better with each episode. And there's a few cool things between the two half an episodes you may not realize unless you replay it, but ended up surprising me a lot.

ALSO, in Episode 3, make sure after a boss battle when you get into a QTE moment, not to do it as Claire, switch off to Moira. There's a split there to get the Good/Bad ending, doing it as Moira gets you the good ending, which is a LOT better than the Bad ending path and includes the full final boss fight. I don't mean to spoil anything, but I realized I should say that as can be easy to miss otherwise.

The Vita version of Rev 2 came later. The worse graphics comes from being cross-gen and primarily it's vastly reduced budget.

As for Revelations 2 this will sum it up for me

I liked Moira somewhat, but her swearing lines really got grating after a while. And it was weird how she was the one to be nice to kids like Natalia when Claire was practically a mother to Sherry during the Raccoon City incident (for some reason she is now scary to them?).

Now Barry on the other hand, is a badass motherfucker with some great lines that fit his "gentle giant" personality. I'd love to play a RE game that teamed him and Jill up again (Revelations 3?). Just give it a bigger budget and I'm sure people could dig it.

It happens in more than one niche genre: they're played mostly by players with lots of experience in them, so over time the games are developed to be increasingly more challenging for their sake. Platformers gave rise to puzzle platformers and difficult/frustration platformers, fighting games are played by people who count frames, rhythm games tend to start decently and end with "who the fuck can even see the notes," etc.

It's really frustrating to not be able to enjoy shmups like Contra 3 or what not

I like aesthetic of most shmups, but playing them is very frustrating for me because I have no skill for them and my frustration tolerance is really low

This is how steamgaf works.
Give away games get happy birthdays
Give away expensive games get more happy Birthdays
Don't give away games? You get maybe some.

Nuclear Throne is so hard. If it's not one thing that gets you, it's another thing; or else it's the thing you know is a thing but didn't have time to consider. And all paths lead to death.

Never have I played a more chaotic game.

I remember the PC version running much worse than RE6 though. However I think they kinda fixed it with later patches.

[SatelliteOfLove]

Atlus Japan seems still trapped in their thinking that releasing games on Steam will hurt their Japanese sales due to reverse import. This was pretty much shown by their usage of region locking on P4A because that game was released with dual audio (CMIIW). Furthermore, reverse import is impractical as shit considering there's huge gap between Japanese and English release, which makes a conspiracy theorist in mine thinking that this is deliberate attempt so there's no room for their Japanese sell to be undermined by marginally cheaper English release. It is very outdated thinking, and with the shrinking Japanese market, they wouldn't last long because they themselves doesn't have presence on Asia market like some companies that include their parent company, Sega.


=====

Atlus business aside, I found some funny shits on Steamspy when I idly browse the site for some sales data:

Are you sure about that? Is any of the old Index people that ran off Atlus' old board still there after the book cooking arrests? I'd think they were responsible for that but this is new mind-boggling from different people.

Playing FF6 blind, should we warn Rhaknar or just let the chips fall where they lay?

All I know, is every one of his posts has the music sparking in my head.

I really liked VI and its music, and I played it in 2000.
