[KainXVIII]

Same with Ni No Kuni demo for me

Then we're even, i guess

 

[Vazra]

Then we're even, i guess

Im atm giving a chance to NNK2 tho. The changes of gameplay seem to make it more interesting and less boring than the first. Hopefully it doesnt disappoints since I want to get into it.

It's nice seeing more games come to PC.

Mankind Divided took five years, have patience.

Patience? What is this word you speak?

 

[Rhaknar]

tht SE / Marvel joint has so much potentcil. Peeps been asking for triple A Marvel games for awhile, welp, Crystal Dynamixs and Eidos could definately pull it off.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

All I ask is that there be a Punisher game on either PC/Consoles from the Marvel Square-Enix collobration

 

[Vazra]

Patience? What is this word you speak?

The word Koei Tecmo fans say when waiting for a quality port on PC. Please dont fuck up Atelier Sophie.

Or put the 2005 game on Steam Uncut.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Or put the 2005 game on Steam Uncut.

I half ass agree with this sentiment, but make it have Steam Workshop support

 

[BoosterDuck]

Mankind Divided's been out for 5 months and is at 560k Steam owners, it's not terrible

Plus last year was crazy for games, there was something coming out every week. I expect MD to hit a million copies this year

 

[Ascheroth]

Based Namco showing how it's done. Looking forward to Ni no Kuni.
Man, 2017 is stacked with Japanese stuff.

Now waiting for Humble Overwhelmingly Negative special bundle.

I'm still hoping we get World of Final Fantasy on PC! Or Dragon Quest Builders! Either of those I'd like a lot more to play on PC.

I need World of Final Fantasy in my veins.

I would do things for a official SMT: Soul Hacker/Nocturne port to Steam

It's the only JRPG that I can play and not feel like I'm contributing to awful loli bullshit

 

[bbd23]

for honor seems pretty fun

dont think its something I would buy though...might get bored after a while

SMT would fit rather well on PC, at least the first SNES games+SMT3 and Strange Journey

About to try it tonight, hopefully the servers work by then.

 

[Rhaknar]

whats this ni no kumi announcement I missed?

the sequel or the first one? both?

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

I feel like if you want to explain vaporwave to anyone who is open minded

Have that person play SMT: Soul Hackers for like 5 hours or so.

 

[ghostlight_ross]

I've just put up part two of the Ghostlight Q&A

This time around I answered questions on console ports, games that we were unable to port to PC and what Japanese game I'd personally love to port to PC.

[Vazra]

Tales of Berseria
Ni No Kuni 2
Atelier Sophie
Nights of Azure
Nier Automata
Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Tokyo Xanadu
Atelier Firis
Disgaea 2

What other JRPGs am I missing that are coming to Steam or came out already this year? Overall seems pretty healthy and we are most likely to see more Neptunia games unless we already got everything already on Steam and maybe Akiba's Beat.

EDIT: I made it in the Q&A. Im famous now!

EDITED IN THE MENTIONED GAMES

 

[Lashley]

New Mass Effect trailer

"I don't need an army. I've got a Krogan."

Ugh...

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

whats this ni no kumi announcement I missed?

Sequel only so far

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

I feel like the SMT series is a JRPG game in a WRPG setting and no one else has ever noticed except the fans of SMT.

Maybe not even a JRPG game in a WRPG setting, but an anime based anti JRPG game

:shrug:

 

[Rhaknar]

my gamepump refund is still pending...

Ugh...

Looks like Mass Effect alright.

 

[kulapik]

This month's Twitch Prime game is Heavy Bullets, pretty nice, was quite interested on it when it came out.

And yes, you have to download a Twitch Launcher, but deal with it, it's not annoying at all.

congratulations for becoming famous

 

[fantomena]

With Ni No Kuni 2 coming to PC, I'll hope for the first game too. Would day 1 it.

[Deques]

my gamepump refund is still pending...

At least yours is pending. I haven't even gotten any refund notice yet

 

[Durante]

JRPG gameplay is not all about combat (dungeons, exploring, crafting, sidequests, pokemon training etc), you know. But i still take NNK combat over what we get in Zestiria/Berseria/Symponia.

For what it's worth, I'm not a massive fan of Tales' combat, but even the battle system in Zestiria was far more continuously entertaining than the one in the first NNK.

 

[Rhaknar]

At least yours is pending. I haven't even gotten any refund notice yet

I just googled pending refunds and found this gem from the paypal forums:

"Everyone,

If the status of your refund is "Pending," this means that the seller did not have the funds actively on hand and a bank transfer has been initiated to capture the funds and send them to you. Assuming the seller is in the US, this process usually takes three to five business days, barring any unexpected banking delays. During this period, PayPal does not have control of the funds and is still waiting for them from the bank.

Hope this helps,

Adrian"

Bowling is broke y'all :3

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just started Fata Morgana, what are the controls?

I can't open any sort of menu functions to save or look at logs?

 

[JaseC]

I think that's what he means. I haven't received a notice yet, either.

Edit: Or not. Disregard!

That was interesting, thanks for doing it.

Durante with the good opinions as usual.

NNK's combat system (at least in the first game, no idea about 2). was simplistic. You simply found as powerful of a monster as you could, leveled it up and then (later in the game) evolved it. If you were losing you either pokemon'd your way into better monsters by leveling up more or finding monsters with better stats and moves.

OR more likely you looked online, found out where the most broken monsters were, got those and then spent the game ignoring combat as much as possible. The Catastrosarus or whatever it was sure was nice in that regard.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

New Mass Effect trailer

"I don't need an army. I've got a Krogan."

Ugh...

BioWare was a mistake...

I am Archon. Surrender or burn.

JFC. Why not just bring back Kai Leng as the antagonist and have him say, "I'm a very bad guy!"

 

[Ascheroth]

Move the mouse cursor into the lower right corner. Looking at logs is usually just scrolling up with the mouse wheel, and right-clicking generally hides the textbox until you click again in VNs.

 

[Tizoc]

Bullstorm's re-release will feature Duke Nukem
Was this known?

 

[Rhaknar]

yes. In fact it was a big deal when they announced it... in their heads obviously, nobody actually cared about Duke in Bulletstorm.

 

[QFNS]

Bullstorm's re-release will feature Duke Nukem
Was this known?

Yes. They specifically mentioned it as part of the re-release. I knew it anyhow, and I don't have any special connections or inside info so I assumed everyone knew.

 

[JaseC]

Bullstorm's re-release will feature Duke Nukem
Was this known?

Yeah. It's a pre-order bonus.

Edit: I am a sloth.

Ah thank you! That was not obvious at all :-/

 

[dave is ok]

Is Duke Nukem why they're charging full price for the remaster?

 

[JaseC]

Is Duke Nukem why they're charging full price for the remaster?

It'd sure be a convenience excuse. Randy Pitchford's a Series of Convenient Excuses would be a nice and accurate title for his autobiography.

 

[Salsa]

Mass Effect gameplay trailer + this new cinematic trailer = the same fuckin game again hype is now dead under ground I mean god damn

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah. It's a pre-order bonus.

Edit: I am a sloth.

Oh I was in somewhat of media blackout on the game since it was announced so I may have forgotten about it

 

[BoosterDuck]

Randy's trying to make up for Battleborn

 

[ghostlight_ross]

Thanks

And thanks to everyone who sent me questions. Sorry if I couldn't include yours.

Exactly.

Say what you will about Zestiria, the harder battles absolutely did reward player skill.
