PSA:

So in this week's edition of games on Steam that are completely broken, A New Reckoning was released as an early access game the other day. Early access doesn't even begin to describe the game.

Of course, it was bundled in the past, so it made it through Greenlight. Unfortunately, all of the screenshots that show of the scenery are lies. The main trailer actually shows off how bad it is, showing how some enemies don't even move when you get close, and you can see a few float towards you in T pose. Jim Sterling has a 35+ minute video showcasing the most recent update of the game, and it's pretty bad.

This game is what gives early access games a bad name.

fucking brlliant!

You know, I like SOME thing off what Jim showed in that video. I think the setting is promising: this sort of decayed, abandoned industrial complex in the middle of the snow... with some good art direction, it'd interesting to see it realized. It's a shame that everything else about it seems terrible.

You really think so? You're not just beelining for the mission objectives are you? There's tonnes of side stuff to do as well

I'm one of those guys who completes all side objectives and goes back to explore every missed route after knocking out the enemies. It's not a bad game, but it would have been 100x better if it were open world or at least had large, connected areas.

Deponia Complete is totally a buggy mess. Unplayable on PC and it seems like only a matter of time until one of the bugs on Mac is game breaking.

Are you for real? Wtf? I just bought it. Can you describe what's wrong?

On PC I was unable to even start because the character would just walk in place and never move. On Mac there have been a few times where I had to save and reload to get out of a never ending loop when trying to enter or exit rooms/buildings.

Oh man, that sucks. Gonna check the forums to see if it's happening a lot.

Edit: Yeah, there seems to be a number of people who have bug troubles with the game. This is so lame. 1 key was an amazing price for this game, but not if I can't play it bug-free.

I really wish there was some sort of Steam info centre that Japanese people could trust and thus learn about Steam. It's such a huge part of the PC market that it borders on ignorance if you have a PC game to sell and don't know about Steam.

I started using this site last year when I was still living in Japan. It allows you to purchase Steam Wallet funds, and pay for them at convenience stores.

http://steam.degica.com/

The banner in the middle of the page (with images of many gears) links to a Steam beginner's guide.

So I built a new PC last month including an Asus GTX780, I was thinking that like my previously GPU purchases there might be a free game voucher included.

Unfortunately there was nothing on or inside the box indicating as such. Does anybody know if there are any promotions going on that I'm not aware of? It's not a big deal but hey I'll take something if it's free.

Ask the retailer you bought the GPU from.

Fair enough, I just had to ask. I'm totally with you, absolutely prefer open world games. But at the same time love the shit out of Dishonored.

Such an awesome system implemented, shows the level of commitment Japan has with Steam. Once Valve announces an 18+ store page, and abolish Greenlight, it is my firm hope that a huge number of self-published Doujin games start popping up.

just watched that game's trailer, pretty risky stuff lol

steam needs to be able to allow you to filter this stuff up asap

i don't mind people buying hentai games or whatever on steam, even if these games are more titillating than explicit, i wouldn't mind those existing or anything, i just want to be able to make some use of the new releases thing

at this point i wish enhanced steam added a "junk" column to that part and just drop all that shit there

The user reviews and comments for 4PM are brutal and makes me cry:

"Here we go again
Another 'wow check this deep message I thought of' presented in the form of a 'game'.
Why do you half baked devs keep crying for money with these idiotic type of "games", for what could've been done way easier (and cheaper) in a short-movie format?
This is just dumb honestly. At least that's what I think. There is no use in making a game to show the "player" a movie."

Click to expand...

Easily Divinity. I love the other divinity games, I love the games OS is based off. God I want it. Stupid no money problem.
