NICE. Hype of the year for me, Blood Money 2 incoming!
They never officially called it episodic. They danced around what the game was supposed to be and initially charged 60$ for it. Now its episodic with the first episode being just 15$.
They changed few things. First they wanted to launch game in December with only 1 location for 30+$, then they delayed game so they can launch game with 3 locations and every month after that to add one more. And now they will launch game for 15$ and one location and every month they will add one more location. And not to mention that both Square Enix and IO Interactive refused to call it episodic
I am a man of my word:

If he skips out the sidequests and only goes for the story and doesn't talk to npcs? Even then I doubt it.
Lets see, as an assault ... hmm. I'd like to go MEC if possible, but whichever works best for what you want to do in your game is fine.
I imagine a lot of places will review it as is and won't go back to it later.
KOEI TECMO... I just can't get excited about their PC ports anymore. Not even adding this to my wishlist.
you are infrantry. you've done a good job at it too. you would probably make a good mec
Wouldn't they just review it like Life is Strange? A different review for each episode?
Great, really liked the 1st one. Another game added to the wishlist.

Urgh, I'm becoming less and less confident in this the more they muddle their message. After all Absolution also looked great until release.
This announcement actually doesn't change much, it's just a really off hand way of delaying the game, as before they'd committed to having the game completed by June, now it'll be by the end of the year.
Oh, and if you buy in on launch you'll only have one location instead of three as previously promised.
We probably can talk Durante into writing an article about their ports, even if he said he doesn't like to write negative articles, but there is so much more to this talk.
It's apparent they don't understand steam ecosystem at all. They can't drop late not so good ports with features missing, pricing them at 60€ and see how it'll work. Everybody with any steam experience can say them, it won't, if they want to alienate PC folks, they are doing everything right.
They obviously don't use steam themselves, any of them, because if they did, they would know to release DoA5 with cards and gorgeous backgrounds. Just imagine what money they could make of those, probably more than of a game itself, and I'm only partly kidding, and that's only one example.
OTOH there is this thought that nags at me, that they simply don't care, they don't see steam as an opportunity to have a huge fanbase (and that opportunity is there, I'm sure), but to make some extra money with not too much of an effort.
yeah, I'd forgive everything what KT done, if I got decent Atelier ports on steam, and I mean everything!
You know what won't go well with my 52 games challenge?
Let me list you the content of my C:\ Steam directory (aka games to play ASAP):
Last Dream
Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Dragon's Dogma
TitS SC
(and last but not least, Mario's Picross GB2, Picross DS, Picross 3D, Pic Pic)
If anybody is interested in Pony Island, I have 18 -50% coupons. Just send me a trade offer.

minus Hong Kong, plus bazillion strategy games I haven't played last year, I think I'm in much worse position than you.
Also I thought Hong Kong is short... it isn't?
Issue is that one Hitman "episode" will be updated after release with contracts for example so each episode should be reviewed few weeks after release but if you wait for reviews you will miss some of those contracts.
Ack, thought of Dragonfall, typed in Hong Kong, which I still don't have.
Also added DDDA.

Short when compared to Witcher 3 and Pillars, sure. I think my first run was close to 26 hours.

As someone that played the Alpha: it's pretty damn good.
Closest thing to Monster Rancher we'll probably ever get.

Wow thanks, perfectly timed!
Trade offer sent, game looks to be a little gem.
If I was to tell you that, theoretically, what I played was pretty damn great, I would... Theoretically, be breaking an NDA.
Let me instead point it out like this: If they weren't confident, wouldn't they much rather get the full $60 up-front and then deliver a sub-par experience? The fact that it's proper episodic with a much smaller up-front cost definitely points towards confidence.
Confidence that, theoretically would be well-deserved.
... Theoretically.
No need to hold it in, show your true feelings Se7en!
No way. It'll take longer than a weekend. Not to mention, why would you want to compress SC into a weekend?

Ed Boon (Mortal Kombat creator) is a master troll, so I don't believe shit that comes from his twitter account. He tweeted this today: https://twitter.com/noobde/status/687687161945051136
"So much more GOOD news on the horizon for the Mortal Kombat X GAME beyond Kombat Pack 2. Stay tuned, and PEACE OUT! "
For those not in the know, Good Game Peace Out is the greatest fighting game netcode out there. If MKX does upgrade to it, I'll go ahead and buy the stupid game. Of course they'll find a reason to skip PC, so fuck it all.
