Pretty fun if you dont mind the fan service.
I thought I read that it was or that it has less enemies on screen on PC than the PS4 version... seemed shady

Seems reasonable that they'd queue it if there was a high demand. Better than trying to do it in realtime and watching the servers fall apart under load.
It's a great initiative, though the short timeframes for games to be added bugs me a little. Quite easy to miss the window if you haven't bought something already.
Pretty sure it's based on the PS4 version. It's not the most amazing port ever but it's not terrible either.
Senran Kagura is a good port from what i can tell.
Mechanically, this game is definitely better than Neptunia U, but i actually haven't played any other games in this genre, so i don't know how it compares to other ones.
So far i really like the music, characters are interesting, there is some plot, and a lot of "plot"
I haven't played previous games in this franchise (i think there were 2 games on 3DS before this one came out on Vita), but i don't feel like i'm missing any "lore" - you actually get to know the characters in the main stories of each school, and in individual stories of every character which act sort of like a sidequests.
In short, it's a pretty light-hearted experience so far both in terms of story bits and gameplay, missions are pretty short, but there are a lot of them. Character animations are great in my opinion, and the combat is fluid - and that's a very good thing in these types of games i think.
Oh, and there is also a Lingerie Lottery you can play
I followed the game for quite a while (and I own it) and the only difference (aside from slight graphical enhancements) that I've heard about are the optimization issues, which are super annoying because whenever I look at the fountain in the desert city my fps drops into the mid 40s.
Copy acf files too (filename is game's appid). These contain state of game.
Probably fell into an hole because he wasn't watching what he was walking over.
harharhar
I saw he was level 48 in Overwatch yesterday, damn that's a lot of playing.
Oh, it got on greenlight now. Good, good. Guess that means the 40$ tier will provide 2 steam keys.
But,if i played at that res 3840x2160 with down sampling,will that effect my laptop gpu alot?

If this means you can customize it without needing to have Steam installed, that'll be a huge boon. If not, there's always that custom Linux driver someone wrote.
Wow, it only took them... a year to make good on nearly the promise of having a jack-of-all-trades controller for people that don't want to spend 1-2+ hours configuration the controller and simply want "genre default" like binds for games of similar genres?!

!Well, GPU renders the game at that resolution, so this can be pretty taxing. You should try different resolutions and see what fps you are getting - the game assets aren't really high fidelity, you can probably get a pretty good downsampling resolution and still have 60 fps.
Ummm... okay?
I X'd out after leaving it on for two hours.

That's been there forever. Like, 5-6 months probably.

Witcher 3: Heart of Stone is fantabulous. I see why so many were praising it before. Though I'm only just beginning it, it's definitely raising the bar for DLC.
That said, I can't believe they all but forgot about Shani until now.
You don't need to stay on that page to remain in queue, FYI.

There is hope for me, yet!
Embrace the waifu era.
I wonder if Senran Kagura got rejected. GoG hosts a bunch of XSEED games, but not Akiba's Trip or Senran Kagura. Are there any crazy fanservice games on the store?
hopefully market intregration as well. time to score some bucks!

Oh no. 1080p. Absolutely unplayable.
It's solid, but at the end of the day, it sort of depends on what you decide to make it. When I played through on normal difficulty, a lot of the 1v1 fights could be won by spamming a few secret arts. On hard difficulty, that might not be a viable strategy.
You can pretty much skip most of the fan service type stuff, but odds are you're going to see some underwear on a fairly regular basis (especially if you use the glass cannon type fighting style for a girl) -- however, you could probably find some less risque clothing and customize each girl so that you don't really have to see that kind of stuff, I'd wager. At one point, I tried doing customization, but ended up just rolling with whatever the defaults were as I focused on finishing the game up.

Nice straw man.
The platform is built on forwards and backwards compatibility, not supporting arbitrary resolutions damages a key pillar of the platform. 1080p is a perfectly viable resolution currently, but actively railing against the inclusion of higher resolutions demonstrates a complete lack of forward thinking.

With DQH, you have four options:
(1) Buy the game for PS4.
(2) Buy the game for PS3.
(3) Buy the game for PC.
(4) Don't buy the game.
If you really want to play the game, (4) isn't really an option.
Which leaves options (1), (2), or (3)... If you want one that's going to be forward and/or backwards compatible, I guess you're going to have to buy the PC version and live with that 1080p lock or hope someone cares enough to possibly find a hack to remove it.
What's your point? We were discussing port quality of the PC version.

I like that the conversation could be summed up thusly:
Edit: I should really be a bit more constructive with my posts.
I can easily see the points both of you guys raise, I would have to side with Frost on the issue if only because I was a PC gamer way back in the day (80s/90s) and watched as it was destroyed into nothingness (Basically just WoW). In the early aughts, I had given up on PC gaming even though I continued to buy decent video cards for the one-off whizbang game that came out.
I guess my mindset is one where PC gaming still has to prove itself even though I know consoles are about to enter their own death throes. When I see PC getting ports of games, it feels like vindication but I also feel like beggars can't be choosers.

We could all relax and instead laugh together at the Ouya. We all agree on that, right?

And you didn't expect frost to get triggered? Why even respond, it's the same nonsense every few weeks.

That's a good summation of the way I see it.
If there's a game you want to play and you have limited options to play it, choose the best platform for you and go play it. Having the resolution locked may not be future proof or "forward thinking", but if you want to play it, you're not left with a lot of options. The beauty of PC as a platform is that someone, somewhere may be motivated enough to look into finding a way to solve the same issues you have with a game. But at the end of the day, passing on a game because you were an early adopter of a new technology and your configuration isn't supported 100% is silly to me.
Do I wish Bloodborne was 60fps without the frame pacing issues? You bet.
Will there be a day when I decide to replay MGR:R on PC and think "I really wish this wasn't locked at 1080p"? Quite possibly.
Am I going to pass on a game because it's locked at a resolution that's currently commonplace in most households and the target for the console development these days? No sir.

I wonder how many of the games I own on Steam actually work without any fiddling.
Edit: Heh, just loaded up the King's Quest Collection (which apparently isn't even on sale anymore on Steam?)
None of it loads.
I can get it working, as I have always done in the past, but that's PC.
Edit edit: Space Quest collection is similarly broken.

I guess you'd have to define "work." If you mean, start them up from scratch and they correctly detect all the needed settings and work with no additional adjustments at the optimal speed, I'd say the number is pretty close to zero. Depends a lot on your hardware though. I have a pretty cheap monitor so games tend to not correctly detect the resolution initially. And I used to use a Logitech controller so I had to set up x360ce for most games.
Yes, the whole "constant driver updates and patches" bit is overblown, but the idea that PC gaming is plug and play now is just as inaccurate. But that's the price for flexibility and long term compatibility. I'd never try to cram a N64 cartridge into a Wii U, but I try to play PC games from that era quite frequently.
I brew beer in those situations.

I've only used a 360 controller since getting back into PC gaming and having a controller work by default is aces.
I'm going to see if I can manage to play MtG: Battlegrounds for PC. I gave up trying to do it natively. Think I'll try in a VM this time.
Yup. A lot of old games work fine but that is also dependent on their quality. I installed NOLF2 last week and it worked absolutely fine. This is a game from 2002.
I did have to install some aspect ration and resolution tweaks, but the game did work without issue. Conversely, as I noted earlier I can't seem to get Syberia 1&2 to work, both games hailing roughly from the same era.
