Cool of them to give a heads up.
Edit: I wish I had a faster internet. I'm still downloading Toukiden.

Based on these, something went seriously wrong between VC1 and VC3 character design wise.

1 has a clear, sensible vision. Not every single design is a winner, but it's beautiful art with thoughtful design and purpose.
2 is pandering bullshit.
3 they threw up their hands in the air and just said "fuck it, let's do whatever we want"

I really love the practical and realistic everything in VC1.
Everyone is wearing a real uniform with good boots, padding, knives, extra clips and 'chitin' on the infantries concentrated on vital spots or articulations.
The color and lines on the uniforms and tanks even fool the eyes of the enemy to better hide the troops (look at the left-most tank)
Context for the three game:
The unit there is supposed to look weird. They are a punishment group of misfits and criminals that is doing dirty work during the war of VC1. So they naturally havem ore whackos then the milita that has mostly ordinary people or the school that whatever.

I only have the first one. Will probably buy the others once I get the games on my PC. But yeah, they're gorgeous.
My favorite thing is that woman have tasteful practical uniforms too and except Rose everyone is wearing pants.
The god of lewd.
Not a problem if you're part of the group they're pandering to.
those of you who haven't picked An Octave Higher during summer sale should begin to feel sorry, I'll post more at the later date, but damn if it wasn't nice surprise and I had suspicions that the game was good.
I'm kinda jelly, but seeing as I'm basically overwhelmed by games I want to play right now, maybe it is good that I couldn't afford Toukiden, it looks like fun, OTOH 30 fps... for a fast game, why?

5.7 hours into Arkham Knight... and only 2 of 4 steam cards have dropped. Incredibly slow drop rate? Bug? Cards stopped while sales of the game are suspended?
Nah, it's been changed to 1 card every 2 hours since the refund debacle.

Card drops take longer now, I believe it takes 2 hours before they start dropping now, it's related to Steam refunds I hear.

Also batman has slow drops. Remember it was ages for Origins and that was before the 2 hour change.
It's a new system, sometimes I get 4 cards overnight, ya... it sucks.
Now there is 2 hours delay before the first card drops for all games, and no devs shortened individual card drop times, so it's plain horrible.
I'm considering stopping buying games just because they have cards, it's no longer half so attractive as it was before.
that is false, the delay is only before very first card dropping, then games have different card drop times as they had.

Also just got done chatting w/ a friend who just finished up Her Story (I finished it the first night I started playing it). He really, really liked it, but had 2 relatively key elements spoiled by reading things online first, so he felt the impact of the game was significantly diminished.
So yeah, if you are thinking of getting Her Story (and it's awesome), i'd either actively avoid spoilers until you do, or get it soon and play it soon, so you can discover some of those "wait... WHAT?" moments for yourself before they get spoiled.

Really? My bad then. Could have sworn it was every 2 hours since one game I ran for like 8 hours gave me 4 cards. Assumed it was the same for all.
I picked An Octave Higher before sale ended!
It seems they tied game speed (also logic?) to fps (which is/was pretty normal in the console world?) and I guess reworking it to not be tied to fps would take a bigger commitment than just porting it as is. It is the reason for Akiba's Trip being 30 fps too, for example.
I'll see first hand how it is when it finally finishes downloading though. If it's constant 30 with no stutter and shit I'll be fine with it, just like with Akiba.
The supposedly 1080p max resolution is a bigger offender, at least for those people that have higher resolution monitors.

No no that's the David Jaffe game you're thinking of ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
3 looks pretty damn awesome.
You watch your mouth :O
Oh, I didn't realise it was so close to starting. I should have pre-ordered it earlier.
There is another side effect to cards dropping rate change, as it takes in average two times more time for cards to drop, cards entering market rate will drop in the same way too, it won't affect games that already have thousands of cards dropped and in market before the change, until that amount is depleted but all other cards will rise in price, what can have another side effect (especially together with cooldown), card market can become less active, especially inbetween sales.

you won't be sorry!
ya I know that, it still sucks. Akiba... is kinda clunky to begin with so 30 fps is lesser of annoyances, or maybe not... I need to play more to be sure, but right now it's not in my top priorities.
1080p max resolution doesn't faze me, I can live with that.

I don't think the change is going to have much of an impact on prices. Sure, more effort is required, but I don't see that fazing most people given it's still "free money".

We're at the point where a new game is practically confirmed. I'll be amazed if it's not at TGS.

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.
That's true, but there are also a lot of games that take less than two hours to complete meaning the average Steam user won't get any "free money" cards at all. I think one of the reasons Idle Master has become so popular is that I see people pitching the idea to their friends like "dude, you are literally leaving money on the table if you don't use this" and most people have no idea.
Of course we're all going to play or idle our games to get all the free money we can, but it's such a ridiculous notion and several steps between you and free money that the average user isn't going to bother with it typically.
I'm not talking about people not wanting money, I'm talking there will be twice less cards on the market during the same periods of time, because it is not possible for them to get on the marked at some rate than before, and as steam levels are limitless, people still will be leveling, only with less cards on the market, meaning prices will rise, what also result in lesser sales and longer times to sell cards. You know, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Sometimes I think Valve tends to not to think things through, they find an easiest solution and jump on it, then again, maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture.

I'm almost positive Valve considered this. Any increase in prices means additional revenue for them. It's easy to manipulate supply and demand when you control scarcity.
