Support NeoGAF

[Maxwood]

Finally started playing The Witcher 2 and just finished the Prologue. But great scott, this game is really overwhelming, or is that just me? I can't get a hang of the combat, the story and all those different names go a bit over my head and the looting is...weird. Or maybe I should just stop hoarding stuff. Really dislike only being able to loot a container fully.

And that stealth section in the dungeon was just awfull.

It looks beautifull, though. And it's quite atmospheric. I'll certainly continue playing, but i'm going to take another look at the manual as well.

 

[JaseC]

So, does anybody here live in South Korea? I won't name names but it would seem the GAFer who'd previously agreed to help me a couple of weeks ago no longer wants to.

 

[Milamber]

Wasn't there some sorta game coming out soon which had you as a mage slinging spells in first person? I remember watching the trailer months ago but the name escapes me.

Lichdom: Battlemage?

Lichdom: Battlemage, probably. Kinda sorta resembles Hexen, maybe.

If you are talking about Lichdom: Battlemage it is out, well, as much as an EA game can be considered released.

Can the new thread not have 100's of posts declaring the obvious?

It smells like old thread in here. Can't wait to make my post in the next one about there being a new thread.

Thanks. Wishlisted for Winter.

Speaking of which, the August thread might have to start early, unless the mods think it's okay for another 50 (25?) pages or so.

You still after that football game? Just asking; I'm not from SK.

Indeed, comrade.

Spoiler

No, no one do this. And yet despite me saying this we will all do it anyway

 

[_hekk05]

I like to think we're doing better with the new thread posts every time we get a new thread.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah. I'll make a thread calling for help later if I don't get a bite.

 

[lashman]

looks pretty good, I have to say can't wait

Here to stay for a bit longer it appears.

 

[CecilRousso]

Man, I really need to actually look at what they're doing with the client in beta when I'm actually participating in it. The category system has gone from completely worthless to almost perfect now.

Was that really so hard Valve?

Used the multiple category system and filtering to create a category where I removed all F2P titles I haven't played, expansion entries and other obsolete entries, and it seems that I with that has exactly 100 titles in my library now

Spoiler

after 7 years as a Steam customer

[Da DreadLord]

Yeah. I'll make a thread calling for help later if I don't get a bite.

At least you admit you need help.

With buying more games obviously

That looks great.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Okay, time to get some sleep. See you guys in August!

May the TitS be with you.

Looking over the Trails screenshots page it's mostly GAFfer contributions. Even shots showing bugs ones like mine and Jawmuncher's are getting popular. What have we done!?!?!

http://steamcommunity.com/app/251150/screenshots/

That would fly in 2010, not now where we have things like Dark Souls II selling upward of 500,000 copies.

Let's look at it this way Watch_Dogs, you know that hyped to the hills Ubisoft game managed to almost get 50,000 concurrent players on Steam releasing day and date with every other release whilst Dark Souls II which was released just over a month behind the console versions managed a smidgen under 80,000. At the time of posting this Dark Souls II has 6 times the amount of people playing now over Watch_Dogs (though that game has dropped off a cliff since release weekend).

The fun potentially begins.

If I hadn't made the giveaway, wouldn't it still be in your inventory anyway?

 

[Shadownet]

Tales of the Abyss is still my favorite Tales game. Probably in the minority there, but hey. And I got a Gamecube for Symphonia. Probably the only time I've bought a system specifically to play one game (though I eventually ended up finding some other GC games I enjoyed).

No I like Abyss too. Even bought the 3DS version to replay it.

Still waiting on more votes then Quiche is going to order it tomorrow.

CS:GO Server Count! Votes needed!

Vote Here!

I am looking to set up a CS:GO server with PrematureQuiche. We would like to know how big to make the server.

How are we going to pay for it? By iddling cards? Lol

Precisely.

 

[kudoboi]

Sticking to this one.

It's really amazing how mismanaged if not downright suicidal Japanese companies are.
Each and every time some B-tier jRPG (no offense meant to Ghostlight, and I'm being generous here stating Idea Factory makes B-tier games) gets released on Steam it pretty much dominates the sales ranking for a few days with close to no advertisement.

How can you not take notice of that? Seriously...

I think they'd take notice better if Steam had a bigger presence in Japan. Selling outside of their home country is all well and good but I think selling to their primary target (Japanese people) is more important to many of them and I really can't blame them.
At least with XSEED and Ghostlight and other publishers, things are starting to move somewhat, with PC games made in Japan getting localized as well as ports of console games getting made for PC.

 

[Milamber]

Like I said before, someone needs to set up a Steam Greenlight booth in every Comiket in Japan.

 

[lashman]

Sacred 3 is available for pre-loading if anyone's interested also - holy carp, 30GB O_O

Spoiler

download is "only" 16.8GB, though

I'm disappointed with Sacred 3, not a fan of the cell shaded look. Sacred 2 was so good

 

[Tempy]

Octodad and Mount Your Friends Acquired!

Now to free up some time to play them.

That Lichdom game looks pretty cool.

Hope it has Oculus Rift support.

Hope I have an Oculus Rift someday.

Maybe poke thetrin about that?

 

[NingenJanai]

Hmm, that looks better than I remember from earlier screenshots, or my memory is fuzzy, or they improved the graphics. Will buy it, but not for 50€.

Still haven't played Sacred 2 yet, let alone 3. Really enjoyed the first one, though. Do those crazy goblins appear in the later games, too? Those guys cracked me up. "Schniepel~!" xD

Lol, you should disappoint with gameplay anyway, its not diablo clone anymore.

I loved the first one, but not the second one. The world felt way to big for what it had to offer which resulted in a lot of time spent running and encountering the same enemy types over and over again. Many of the quests were also plain boring. I also don't know exactly why anymore, but i remember not liking the combat at all because it felt way too slow with any of the classes. Never finished the game because of this.

 

[Driw3r]

Wow, 23 minutes long "trailer". Looks interesting, Testament is still waiting to played though.

Maybe poke thetrin about that?

Reminded me of this post from him:

Steam is surprisingly unknown here in Japan. I've heard executives say "What is Steam?" before. No kidding.

Steam's market penetration in Japan is also miniscule, so it becomes hard to convince people in Japan that it's worth bothering with.

Many times, you just have to say "We need to do Steam. Trust us."

"What is Steam?" is a question I've heard way too many times when asking with different people from the industry here in Japan.


And I'm not even joking.

Yep. It's happened to us as well.

 

[Tellaerin]

You think Playism would like that?

I seem to recall him talking about doing some outreach to Japanese indie developers, so I figure it couldn't hurt to run the idea past him. : )

 

[Snakethesniper]

Am I the only one getting a 404 error message on the idle_master page?

 

[JaseC]

Am I the only one getting a 404 error message on the idle_master page?

Sorry for the issue with Idle Master. I had two builds of steam-idle and accedientally uploaded the older version (yes, with SAM code, sorry) when I initially uploaded the first commit.

Since I'm travelling, I just went ahead and deleted the repo on github until I can get home and upload the proper version.

Again, really sorry for the trouble. I kinda feel like an ass right now.

Thanks. I should be back home either tomorrow night or Thursday morning and I'll re upload the proper code then.

Reminded me of this post from him:

Wish I read that before I sent him that PM.

Yeah, hopefully he answers my PM soon.

I may actually have to buy Fahrenheit on GOG for the first time. I'm getting tired waiting for it to come on Steam.

I hope you didn't buy it yet, it just went on sale for $1.79
