It's all about expectation, mindset, and taste. I think TiTS's writing is cute, but so far (where I'm at in the game, midway through Chapter 1) it leans heavily on the dialog and less so on the conflict and world issues. I actually am quite glad it's doing that, since I've had enough "the world is on your shoulders" RPGs to last me for a while. But, if I wasn't in the right mindset to want to indulge in some sugared dialog between peppy characters, I could totally understand not being happy with the game.

Taste and humor is also subjective! Some people like really offensive jokes, others prefer theirs cleaner and more focused on delivery. I don't see a problem with someone not liking the humor in TiTS, even if it means frosty messages me every time I upload screenshots to remind me how much he hates it :3

I guess it's really hard for me to acknowledge that Trails can be not for someone, it's so very much my kind of a game, that I feel like I am questioned with extreme prejudice when someone hates on it, the same is true with Suikoden games, although it's very rare for someone hate on those. Guess I'm lucky in this at least, that are and were games made especially for me, no?
frostie would probably hate me in rl to the point of killing me, scary thought when I think about it
I kid, I kid

Let's just post lots of screens from TiTS and Hatoful Boyfriend just to bug frost. :p
that's so evil and tempting
 
Played a bit Star Citzen. It sure is gorgeous but has only little meat so far. Doesn't help that I have no clue what I am doing.

Is this Off-Topic, I don't know anymore, sooo it will come to Steam I think? Am I safe now?

i never really enjoyed cartoons for like adults or whatever. like all that adult swim stuff, i just find them annoying and unwatchable lol

invader zim will forever be the one cartoon i love lol

maybe dexter's lab and powerpuff girls too

I was just speaking in general about the text based-stuff in the game... writing, tone, dialogue -- when I said translation, I really meant more "localization" and less "literal translation"... though I'm not sure if the original Japanese game had stuff like this groan-worthy gem zyklon shared:
well some of those were pretty funny, that one is awful tho

also dont call me zyklon

Another Episodic game that got nice Steam Reviews and positive "preview" fom TB.



looks pretty cool, wishlisted it for the black and white only

Enjoy.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Life Is Strange is the GOTY 2015.
Fite me.

No contest. And I haven't finished Episode 4 yet until later tonight, so really we should all stop talking about this
lol

Let's fite!

Witcher 3 I know you have some issues with but I'd say that's one. For another... Rocket League is leagues better!

Once the last episode is out and I get around to purchasing and playing it my opinion might change. heh

Really disappointed, already have all those extras. Oh well, will give them away later. Bundle was still worth it for everything else.

bish gets all the credit :)
I've heard great things about Freedom Planet. It might just be weird Sonic (aren't they all?) fans, though.

All of you people preordering Type-0 obviously forgot FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FFIV and FFIV The After Years.

Well, good luck to you all.

Two words:

Steam Refunds

Nice price for Type-0

.....anywhere have it better yet?

I reckon GMG will get it eventually. They have with every FF game on Steam so far.

For the price, Steam refunds pose an excellent value proposition now.

Wait so that Amazon Prime Air thing is actually real and not some crazy April Fools type affair? I don't know how I'd feel having my stuff delivered by a drone.

I'm embracing a future where one never needs to leave the house.

Wonder how much the Doters 2 FF skins will go for. Can I make some good money back by pre-purchasing? Type-0 looked kind of bad compared to other FF, honestly.

I doubt Star Citizen will come to Steam to be honest.

If it does it will be later. They like not sharing money lol.

It'll come to Steam eventually, but probably not until after it's complete, not entirely unlike Elite: Dangerous. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the game's already hiding somewhere in the registry.

I made a little under USD$7 from my Thi4f item set. You need to get in early, though (I sold the the aforementioned set around half a day after it became marketable).

So who's having a Windows 10 party tonight!?!?!? I hope Microsoft haven't done something stupid like that again.

Oh and Rocket League > Your favourite game probably featuring your Waifu.

I'm embracing a future where one never needs to leave the house.

I imagine quite a few have already. I mean you can get fresh air by opening the windows right? Me, I'd go stir crazy with cabin fever after a week if I didn't get out.

All the Life is Strange spoiler tags are difficult to not click. Must resist.

I still haven't started it, and don't plan to until the last episode is out.

The last legendary naval battle in AssCreed Rogue is pretty annoying. I do like the look of the Master Templar outfit, though.

(1) & (2) Fair and good points. Sometimes, if you're not sure if you're going to be okay with what's in the port or if it will run well on your setup, paying a bit extra might be worth the steam premium.

(3) On this we agree. :3

Clicker Heroes or GTFO.

Currently Bloodborne is my overall GotY and I'm not even done with it; so unless it makes a sudden drop off in quality, it's at the top of my list.

If we're talking Steam GotY 2015, well, I'm going to use the loophole that let's me put Dark Souls 2 on top again currently.
Of course, you'll have to take into account that I will not play The Witcher 3 or GTAV until I upgrade my video card... and well, if LiS is out fully before the end of 2015, I'll run through it, but I seriously doubt it will live up to the hype.

I've never even heard of Coin Crypt.

Other two seem solid, I had Screencheat on my wishlist a while back.

Screencheat is dead. Idle for cards and forget about it or play asap while some try it because of the bundle. Which is sad because the concept seems fun and it's well made but what can you do....

They recently added a tutorial that you can do to get the basics down, I've played dozens of hours and the only way to get really familiar with your ship (you have a Mustang Omega from the looks of it, those are mainly racing ships with light combat) is to just play around with it in free flight or Vanduul Swarm vs. AI.

True.
I still can't believe Valve would allow for something so pro-consumer.

I don't think they so much allowed it as they were going to be forced to do it in Europe and likely Australia, and realized it would be more expensive to implement a separate refund policy for every country they operate in.
