Did they have long National Geographic nipples?



It's the first in a sub-series of three games from the Legend of Heroes franchise, you won't miss anything.

Are Xanadu, Dragon Slayer, Legend of Heroes and Trails in the Sky all set in the same universe because that's fucking crazy if so

Haha, I hope publishers one day realise that there's money to be made in providing Steam keys for pulled games (where possible -- obviously licensed stuff and the like would be out of the question) to those who want them. "If I buy Virtua Tennis 2009 from Sega's own store and provide proof of purchase, can I receive a Steam key?" shouldn't be met with "We are unable to provide keys for games that are no longer available on Steam."

With The Club being returned to the store following GFWL's execution date being pushed back, I'd hope that Stormrise would be given the same treatment, but that's looking unlikely. It makes me wonder, though: Why The Club and not (also) the other GFWL game Sega pulled? Perhaps Sega intends to patch it out.

I would love for The Club to go Steamworks.

Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but I noticed Olli Olli has been ported from Vita and releases on the 29th.

Holy crap in a pita... we had no idea! That's awesome.
Just kidding... sorry, couldn't help it... it's been mentioned several times in the last few pages. :p

----------------------

NOTE: UNLESS I'M DOING SOMETHING EXTREMELY WRONG, DO NOT BUY SHADOW BLADE: RELOAD YET.

I couldn't even play a level, the game is so buggy. When I finally got my controller working with it and my resolution set, when I got into the level itself neither the dpad nor the analog stick would move my character (the buttons worked). Furthermore, after this, the resolution was stuck at 640x480 and I was unable to go back and edit the settings at all. Stay away (for now). This is some real "Early Access" type shit.

Do you have to have a game to buy and play the DLC(family share)? Have been playing Dark Souls II through family sharing and I was wondering whether I could just buy myself the DLC or whether I need to gift it to my friend.

I just abandon thread for a few pages if "off-top" stuff starts to become overbearing.

On topic: I stayed up too late playing DSII. I'm so tired and I dreamt nightmares of clowns.

The question is, do I replay TiTs on my PC?

Easily my favorite jRPG of last gen... but I still have it on my Vita. :-/

Hmm...

Trails has a store page now? I heard it was good...adding to the wishlist. Also can't do wrong with more JRPGS.

In other news i'm patching Hearthstone right now and apparently from reading the patch notes the new game board mentions spider eggs and spiders. Of course.

WHY MUST EVERYTHING HAVE SPIDERS ;-;

No, this is the first game. It's part of the larger "The Legend of Heroes" series I suppose (not super well versed) but this is the first game of the Trails/Kiseki series. Second chapter (SC) will be the 2nd whenever we see that on steam.
Click to expand...

To add to that, in numbering conventions, it is the 6th game in the "The Legend of Heroes" series. This is also the first game in a trilogy where the Second Chapter has been announced for localization, though the third chapter hasn't.

You have to gift it to the friend as people pointed out a page or two ago.

Here's my thoughts on the "off-topic" stuff.

Despite what some here dislike, there are games on Steam with anime-style, and they are just as much a part of Steam discussion as anything else is. There are games with alpacas, too. Saying you don't like discussions about them but are okay with other Steam stuff is pretty hypocritical.
Click to expand...

Yeah.....No.

Just because games are of a certain genre or topic doesn't mean it's ok to thread shit page after page of img's and gif's. That really has nothing to do with 'liking the subject matter'.

It's based off Naxxramas. (Best raid dungeon ever) There was a whole wing dedicated to spiders with one huge raid boss spider right at the end of it.

Here's my thoughts on the "off-topic" stuff.

-snip-

tl;dr version: There are many types of people out there with different tastes. Trying to assimilate them through complaining and wishing how "this thread went back to normal" is both useless and cluttering up the thread. Taking a constructive approach would be much better.
Click to expand...

I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, you are right that people need to adjust to the fact that people in the thread will talk about things they have no interest in, and deal with it unless it gets out of hand. And when it does get out of hand, spending 5 pages discussing how anime or whatever has ruined the thread is no more beneficial than spending 2 pages talking about anime or whatever.

On the other hand, a lot of the derailing is unintentional, where individuals don't do anything especially wrong, but a large number of people doing the same thing snowballs to the point of total derailment. I think some (constructive) criticism is merited to help people understand the impact of their actions and rein them in in the future. Especially in the context that other threads have required mod intervention over the same issues.

I think people are justified in raising concerns over significant derailment. I just wish most people would approach it from a more practical standpoint instead of "people posting X are ruining the thread".

If you don't like it, why didn't you post something to steer the discussion? Or do you prefer complaining about it after it's passed?

I agree that constructive feedback is nice. I'll take that over all the complaining any day.

Not feeling the worth of the Squenix bundle since all I want out of it are the Hitman games. It's totally badass for the people that don't have most of those though.

So, now realizing that F-Pina is in fact someone who worked on Detective Case, telling him i ran across an MLP fanfic that starred Clown Bot and Pinkie Pie while looking for the answers to his quiz for his giveaway, has made me feel strangely weird now.

Hell of a bundle. DX at $15 is a little much though, that should have been in the lowest tier honestly.
