GF staying with me for 20 days and we gonna make a trip

i'll be sitting on a boat thinking about divinity

Haha, I might not have the same "problem" but I have lots I need to get done next week and I keep thinking how to make time for Divinity.XD

 

[wilflare]

Actually many games considered niche would be better suited for PC releases if they dont plan localizing console versions.

would play Yakuza on the PC
(never tried the series on console though... but with them on the PC.. means I don't have to hunt and pay for overpriced used copies)

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

What a clock!

 

[wilflare]

A paycheck for that one guy who won the game. Makes sense.

Spoiler

Yes, awareness/interest building.

whut? I'm lost hahaha

What about the 8 copies I gave away?

But this brings me to talk about the good part of SteamGaf which doesnt happen much outside of it. People randomly finding games on steam and post em here and gather interest for the games. Many games would have gone unnoticed if people didnt post about em here and doing the publishers work to gather interest. We have seen this even happen with big companies which automatically to mind jump Alice Madness Returns and Shadows of The Damned with EA Partnership which didnt get much promo or mediocre promo which didnt represented the games properly.

I saw the number of the own and wishlist grow after posting trailers of the game and the giveaways surely help get people also aware of the game. I mean how hard could it be for publishers to do a bit of promo work for the games they are publishing. Indies I can understand but some that are being published by well known companies shouldnt be getting such treatment (I might dare and say even some indies are doing better work at promoting than the big companies these days)

Bless SteamGaf with the random recommendation of games and raising awareness of those games lacking promo.

honestly, GAF is doing alot of work that publishers should be doing
and Toma is a saint when it comes to that with his promotion and well-thought reviews/recommendations of the lesser-known indie titles

 

[Ryne]

I've been thinking of setting up a playtime for Counter Strike:GO on the weekend (possibly week days as well). Judging by the number of responses I've had and the number of people I've played with I think we can do some 5v5 matches. If there aren't enough people we'll just use bots to fill the empty holes or play in the public queue.

To judge interest in this, please PM me on GAF that you are interested and what times you are available. Do not worry about skill level, anyone is welcome.

If I can garner enough interest, I will formally create a time where people from GAF can play together and I will post in this thread every time we start to play so it's open to everyone.

When we are playing: (Estimate Time)

What we are playing:
We are playing public matches through the casual matchmaking system. Everyone from all skill levels is welcome to join!

How to join us:
Add me as a friend on steam and through the main menu join the same game that I am in.

In the future:
If we have enough consistent players, we may consider setting up or renting a server for drop in drop out gaf matches.

Come join us and have fun!

Hey, I added you on steam, love to join in

hell, just release them in Japanese and let the modding community localize it if they are that worried about cost.

dude. sell your 3DS and buy a Surface Pro 3.
play Divinity on that boat

 

[Grief.exe]

Yeah one of the first things I was thinking was Dragons Crown on Steam would be a good fit to test the waters but Abyss Odyssey seems to fit the bill equally as well. Atlus do have a few published titles on Steam like Rock of Ages though (wasn't Trine also Atlus published at one point?). There's just too many great games at the moment, even with all the junk.

I thought Abyss Odyssey was a PC exclusive, but it is coming to PS3/360. ACE Team established a relationship with Atlus on Zeno Clash II and Rock of Ages, which represents the majority of Atlus' published games on Steam.

 

[Salsa]

dude. sell your 3DS and buy a Surface Pro 3.

more like sell 10 3DSes

 

[Vazra]

Localize with subs if you wanna save money. That shouldn't take much time.

 

[deadflower81]

Ok, now it's my turn to give away something!

I have a 25% code discount for Pixel Piracy.

...first-come, first-served

 

[didamangi]

Does the steam community broken this last day for you guys as well? Particularly screenshots not loading.

I just wanna +1 everything. Valve, pls.

 

[wilflare]

Localize with subs if you wanna save money. That shouldn't take much time.

I don't understand. I would be perfectly happy and alright with just subs.
the english V/O can always be a separate DLC download... though I'm not sure how much they would get from it if it's a paid DLC

 

[Eanan]

dude. sell your 3DS and buy a Surface Pro 3.
play Divinity on that boat

Those surface pros are wicked expensive.

A 3DS is like €100.

not trying to call you out personally for any mean spirited reason other than maybe next time thinking about your true reasons behind posting those things

The first post you quoted was, I believe, a reasoned answer to the people complaining about gift begging.. the latter posts were sarcastic due to stress and my feelings that the points made by me and others were being dismissed wholesale. I already talked to people affected by it and apologized, so why bring it up here if not to call me out personally? I also stated that in my thank you post that I didn't want to drag it on but I still wanted to thank people. It's a thin line, I know...

Well if the game sells good they can make Dub DLC if there is enough demand for it. If people really don't care about staying with Japanese V.O dont bother spending money on a dub.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I think ill hop on for a little bit of CSGO in an hour to play with SteamGAF. It can't be as hard as last Time.......

oh, I did want to call you out personally, just not beyond what I said there. It's not like a "HA! look at this guy" moment as much as just to give some closure to what you said previously. I chuckled to myself cause I remembered, and it's clear your posts were clouded by some instant reaction of anger or jealousy or something weird. Hopefully you can take it easy from now on, it's all good and chill. Cool on ShadownetX for being the bigger man.

precisely I miss my japanese games (good old days of PS2)
but all they are interested in now.. is mobile games (not dissing mobile gaming... just frustrating that they forgot their "core" audience)

bleh. I used to think if I start-up a Japanese games localization company - would that get me anywhere lol

surface pro 3 is damn nice though if you can afford it

 

[Caerith]

The list of companies that should port and release games on PC is long man but Atlus is definitely there. I was on the Sega campaign and I would certainly love more oldies and new games showing up on PC. (Namco if you read this bring Tales of Series)

The Steam (J)RPG scene is ripe for Atlus to pick. What would they be competing with? RPG Maker titles, Agarest, and barebones Final Fantasy ports, all of which people are spending good money on. If they show up with a decent port of the SMT or Persona games, well, they'd probably sell very nicely.

I don't mean this as port begging-- all publishers of RPGs are missing an opportunity here. Except Square, who apparently doesn't need to put any effort in for people to throw money at them.

Just the thought of better performance of those RPGs make my mouth water. Also it shouldnt be that hard for them to port the games now from PS4/XBONE games so there is not as much excuse as before.

 

[Eanan]

Tell me about it,

however even with the discount our university got for us IT students, it was still like €600 for the top model.

Actually Salsa. he was the bigger man. He was the one who PM me and offered an apology and everything. Thats when we patched up and became cool cucumbers.

Let me just bring up posts from days ago to call this dude out personally because I'm so bored, it's all good and chill bro.

Ah yeah that make sense. Yeah I didn't realise it was heading to PS360s until Nito mentioned it (may as well be on Atlus' payroll by now )

i hate it when mommy and daddy fight

can we go back to steam coupons

cus the only one I need is copons

The one that really boggles the mind is Nippon Ichi. Apart from a handful of ports to Nintendo platforms, they've been Sony-exclusive forever. I don't think Sony is moneyhatting them or anything, so why haven't they branched out?

if they choose to bring FFXIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns... - maybe people won't throw money
(okay some people are crazy fans of Lightning... but not everyone ><)

well I haven't played THAT much of it myself ... all I can tell at this point is - read EVERYTHING carefully that's the key to this game and if the log goes too fast - you can always just pause the game (spacebar) and read it

cool cucumbers.

ew

It's worse

I'm pretty sure you can turn it off somewhere but i forgot how.

It notifies you because we are all mutual friends, by the way.

It wasn't your comment..

Searched and couldn't find anything, guess I'll have to deal with it.

I wish they would pay me. Im broke as fuck.

I'd actually bother to open my sticker cases if there were Skullgirls stickers.
