There's a Bandai-Namco sale on GMG, EU only and quite possibly region locked for most of them.
  • Ace Combat Assault Horizon 63% off
  • Star Trek 67% off
  • Ridge Racer Unbounded 50% off
  • Inversion 50% off
  • Hexodius 50% off

If only Namco would bring more games to Steam...

The only thing better than watching anime is watching people get upset by anime.

So this is now a third set of Higurashi sprites? (Different from both the original and the console version?)

Anyway, great news, Higurashi deserves a solid translation and visuals.

No, GeDoSaTo works, the game simply doesn't support resolutions higher than 1080p.

my bad :( I'm not putting down GeDoSaTo (I love it)
I should have just posted "hope Konami patch this game to allow resolutions higher than 1080p" :/ (which people will reply "lol" to)

These have been sitting around in my inventory for ages now, I think they're stuff I got as preorder bonuses from other games. Figured now is as good a time as any to give them away.

What's with the sudden burst of anime?



This is AMAZING! 11/10

Higurashi Steam game announcement, people misinterpreted what Higurashi is actually about, and people got upset because AnimeGAF recently in SteamGAF because of Visual Novels coming to Steam.

I'm excited because Higurashi is a pretty good horror visual novel with an excellent mystery element and some fun grotesque scenes. It getting an updated PC release for the Steam version is excellent news.

Higurashi also had a pretty good anime adaption (terrible dub though), linking to the show's first OP here.

Don't you miss any gaming related gifs turning them off? More than once it has convinced me to buy/play a game.

That's awesome! I've watched Higurashi and it's pretty awesome. Season 2 wrapped things up pretty nicely. I might get it when it comes out on Steam, though I've heard (and seen) that the visuals are kinda dated.

i find it hilarious that anime offends someone so much that they cant even look at it

That's what the news was about. The Steam version is getting completely new artwork, which is what started the anime talk.
 
is Higurashi going to be censored? Not sure how the game plays out, but if its anything like the anime, it could be like the most graphic game on steam

Just look at some of the reactions in the Waifu-Thread. Yes. Peole read ANIME-WAIFU and felt the need to come in the thread, just to remind us that they don't like anime.

Eh, I don't think so. There are plenty violent games, just think postal 2 or Wolfenstein. Steam is just scared of nudity.

How about Quake discounts for Quakecon?

To heck with Skyrim DLC.

That won't happen until Quake gets another entry. Quake Live is really just Quake 3 with a slightly different coat of paint so it's been 15 years and counting.

Well, the artwork itself wasn't that graphic in the original version. It was just left up to your imagination from the text.

Same for what I read of Umineko(Read the questions arc, never got round to the last 4).

I don't believe so, Steam seems to be allowing more graphic games get to Steam.

To be seen exactly what they do with the new art though. Hoping they have some of the graphic scenes from the console version of Higurashi. But I expect a lot of it to be detailed and not graphically shown.

But the game and anime did find a Western audience, so I think it may be in the clear for not being censored.

So what I'm saying is I'm more expecting the game to be like this:

As opposed to this:

A little bit graphic, as a warning.

Why you do this speevy? How can you not be sure I am a horrible person and don't deserve this?
It's was even on my wishlist. I cannot thank you more than with words. Thank you kindly.

What Speevy means is: "Play one of the best games of the generation."

'least that's how I read it...

It's not just one or two pictures being posted though. It's a series of pictures, with each poster trying to out-weird the last.

I get that people have their fetishes, but I'd imagine that most of the participants in the Steam thread don't come here to read about how "kawaii" characters are, or how "playful" incest is.

huh I didn't expect Tomb Raider underworld to look this graphically impressive

hmm guess because it's a 2008 game, I thought it was much older for some reason

You know what pisses me off? It's that games like Disgaea would see like hot cakes on Steam, yet THEY won't do it. Disgaea 5 with 1,2,3,4 included for the PC at $49.99... My wallet would explode.

Since there was such a response to the Butt Simulator giveaway yesterday, I decided to shamelessly steal Widdly Scuds' joke also give away a copy.

This last one's a bit too sexy, so click at your own risk.

The game is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance if anyone was wondering.

Pretty Sure Ace Combat is Region Free.
Can't check steamDB to 100% that though.

It was, but Scamco disabled cross-region gifting/trading when GFWL was patched out and the sub returned to the store.

Edit: Oh, retail keys. Yeah, they're fine.

There's a lot of games in this situation right now.

I won't say Silent Hill would sell like hotcakes, but hotdamn I would buy many copies of all the SH games to gift away if they came to Steam for a decent price.
