No, I have only played SF on Arcade and NES machines. I missed out.

All fighting games, far as I can remember, from the previous gen onwards had a replay/spectator mode.

SF5 is the easiest fighting game you could get into atm outside of maybe Skullgirls, and to an extent Guilty Gear Xrd.

I think this is important.

wonder what it is for games... err... visual novels?

wow that is a lot of shit anime

Duhh...those anime series that tends to be listed as a top 10 wasn't made within a year or 2.

Interactive Fiction fans, the three of you that might be in the midst of SteamGAF, Orihaus' richly detailed and darkly written To Burn In Memory has finally hit Steam. I originally played the web browser version before the audio was fixed, and still found myself lost deep within the city's cracked and filthy walls.

Unlike your standard Twine IF, TBIM has a striking visual design that solidifies the imagery of its destitute locale. There were some features the author wished to use but found difficult to produce in Twine, so they wrote their own IF engine that tailored to their needs. It's an immense undertaking, especially with the chosen lexicon being flowery and poetic over bluntly descriptive. Still, highly worth the read if one can swallow its dense vocabulary and navigate its labyrinthine pathways.

CYOA. It's a little more in-depth than TWINE titles since you have an inventory for items that give you access to more of the city, and special 'memories' you can unlock which will take you on side stories which explain how the city fell into ruin. But almost all of this is handled by clicking keywords or phrases in the text, rather than a full parser.

I like interactive fiction but I'm not very big on CYOA as a video game (despite devouring those books when I was little.) Kudos to the developer for making their own IF engine, though. Shame that since most IF games are given out freely, there probably wouldn't be a market for it to be licensed out.

Maybe it's time for a new anime movie sweep, see what the industry has produced in terms of big budget production value movies since the last time I checked... I think the last great anime movies I've watched were Redline and Arriety around ~2011.

Need to check up on Ghibli's output since then and the GAF anime thread, though that's mostly focused on TV shows and not movies.

How important is the online component to dragons dogma? It's just pawn trading right?

 

[Haunted]

Yeah, you can easily play it offline since Capcom does provide offline pawns as well.

 

[MUnited83]

How important is the online component to dragons dogma? It's just pawn trading right?

Yeah, but getting pawns is pretty important, and the online ones are better.

 

[Haunted]

Not to mention that your friend's pawns are free regardless of their level, if you really want an ez mode.

But you can make it through the game with just Capcom's pawns, no problem.

 

[Arthea]

so yeah, mandatory trade e-mails are true. steam feels more and more like a police state with every passing day, especially considering that everything is done for our own good, taking our choices from us too, apparently.

It's fun and pretty important for the second in-game currency. And the pawns from the friend list are always free. It's pretty great

Someone should email Valve so that they'll implement Steam Wallet for pawn.

Came across this interesting blog post on reddit. It's from the developer of Defender's Quest which has been out for 4 years now. In it he talks about how the game continues to sell reasonably well even after so much time. He acknowledges that the game never became an indie darling like FTL or Hotline Miami. It never got wide press coverage or Youtuber attention or anything of the sort. He then wonders why the game continues to sell well enough and comes up with a few reasons. He attributes it to luck (since the game launched in 2012 when the indie scene was very different), high conversion of demo players to customers and the Steam discovery update.

I found that last part pretty interesting. Here's what he says about it



I personally didn't like the discovery update and even use ES to disable it's functionality when browsing the site but it's good to know that it actually does function the way it's meant to.

Check out the post if you're interested in his thoughts. There's a lot of data to back up his reasoning and he's full of humility for the success he has had. It's a good read.

That's awesome. Good for him. Defenders quest is a gem. I really enjoyed it. I bought it full price ages ago. Absolutely worth it. I'm pretty sure I was a demo conversion as well.

I'm glad to hear some of the more niche titles on steam are getting some love. I should do my discovery queue more often. Doing it three times a day for the winter sale led to adding at least 10 games to my wishlist and one purchase even if majority in the queue were not my speed.

So, I was playing RE0, on Hard, without healing (using a guide, anyway), trying to do the best I could. Billy was "ok" status, Rebecca was "danger". Ok, I defeated the second boss with no trouble using Billy, than I entered a room and two stupid insects attacked me.
Rebecca died because the game decides to put her shotgun off without saying nothing, so I need to do one hour of the game just because of this.

Should have gotten a baby playthrough first before achievement hunting. Especially what's probably the hardest achievement.

Eh, I'm not really trying to obtain all achievements, it was something like "let's try how good I can do", in fact at least I saved (ONCE, I only saved once until now, at least I died in the mansion so I don't need to do again the train section), what hurted me is the fact I died because the game unequiped the shotgun to Rebecca.

My solution to this is to skip buying whole bundles and try to find someone that sells particular games I am only interested in. That way I don't get too many crap games and it's cheaper, but it takes time

For all +1 collectors, screw you if you don't like what I do!

Pretty sure cutscenes still have Billy and regular Becca

It's just the main game (though I'm not sure at what difficulty since the enemies seem to do more damage than even hard difficulty, but bullets seem about the same/less than hard in places). The cutscenes from the main game still happen, but Rebecca is in her evil suit, and Billy is replaced with Wesker. The scenes are the same otherwise.

Yo shackles, my man, about what I PMed you regarding the Steamgaf goty list thing :X
