Support NeoGAF

[GhostTrick]

Onechanbara Z2 got a 7 MB update:

Good. Might get it when under 20 euros.

Onechanbara Z2 got a 7 MB update:

I wonder if that means that the game will merely scale to whatever resolution your monitor supports while keeping the internal resolution locked or if they actually put in some effort and unlocked the resolution.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Though this was relevent for SteamGAF as it's coming PC-wide, and the studios other games (Cyanide, makers of the Styx games, Blood Bowl, & more) all came to Steam.



Their upcoming Call of Cthulhu game released its first trailer.

 

[someguyinahat]

I have a feeling I'm going to Free 2 Play the hell out of this.

Daisy Dukes Simulator 2016? Sure, why not.

 

[redlacs]

That sounds pretty serious. I hope you'll be able to recover your account.

i had access back within hours, no real damage done i think. never loved steam support more. now im surprisingly ok if most of the other stuff takes them 3 weeks or longer to sort out, as long as they can deal with this so fast.

now i need some gametime playtime. im down for rocket league

Looks great. Although I'm not much into stealth.

oh wow, a new update actually killed Clicker Heroes for all old players. Losing all progress, no matter what you can gain after another hundreds of hours is a no no.
Also with this update you actually have to lose all your progress on a regular basis, because the way old build worked was nerfed to adjust for a new system.
Oh well, it's OK, now I can finally uninstall it.

Can you... explain what they did exactly? Why would old players lose progress? I haven't booted it up in a while.

I would guess a new structure in the new update that's not compatible with the old versions. Isn't it possible to not to update to the latest version?

they introduced transcendence, kinda like ultra ascension, where you lose everything, all souls, all ancients and even gilds! You get ancient souls by doing this, that grant more powers, but you literally have to start from the beginning every time. Also with this update they removed cheevos giving any DPS, all ancients don't have level caps now, or so it would seem but leveling them is much more expensive.
lots of stuff was nerfed, bosses timers are higher and even some ancients removed, etc.

I totally not going to lose my progress and start over, nope.

edited: forgot to add, you even lose relics!

Not on Steam.

Seems like a day doesn't go by where some anime game doesn't get released on Steam. How many more is there? Does Japan really have this many games? Enough is enough dammit.

This is all your fault SteamGAF!

I have some very bad news for you.

Spoiler

According to the biggest visual novel website, there are currently 44,516 known visual novels out there in the market at this very moment, and only more keep on coming out.

 

[Arthea]

and with this I'm done with clicker games, not a single one installed.
The end of era?
Funny part about it, that both I liked were killed by updates/nerfing.

Which of these games are the nice ones?

Aren't you in love with the Windows Store or something? If Japanese games bother you to no end, you could hang out there.

 

[Arthea]

Home Sheep Home 2
Sky To Fly
Crowman & Wolfboy looks nice, but it's EA still

 

[Madn]

Rocket League game in a few hours for any of you guys that will be interested.

It will the first time I play the game, so let's have some fun.

Preferably europeans for low latency, but everybody is welcome.

The estimated game length will be between 1 and 2 hours.

1 - NingenJanai
2 - Endruen
3 - gngf123
4 - Teppic
5 - redlacs
6 -
7 - Exosoul
8 - DunderHassan

I have an appointment with the dentist in an hour. If I make it back in time I'll gladly join you. Never played the game before though

 

[Kagemusha]

GoG lets you roll back patches on select games. Never tried to do it, and it's not available for every game. Wouldn't help in cases where developer decides to nuke everything and start over. Really surprised developers don't add older versions as paid DLC.

 

[Messiah]

Really happy with Spike Chunsoft's Steam commitment. Now here's hoping for more companies to follow suit.

 

[Deques]

Home Sheep Home 2
Sky To Fly
Crowman & Wolfboy looks nice, but it's EA still

I am a bit of a fan of Shaun the Sheep, so Home Sheep Home 2 seems to be the most interesting game

Old versions as paid dlcs? No thanks. If new updates are free (and mandatory), then why pay for old versions?

I see no problem. The better game got on.

 

[Lain]

That's what curation does. The people that curate a store decide if something is worthwhile to be sold on their store, if their audience would want to even see it on the store etc.
I'm glad Steam did away with it, so little gems like CSD got their chance to shine.

 

[r3n4ud]

Don't Serious, It's Fun

Well, there seems to be user with like 1000 accounts selling greenlit votes & reviews.

Seems like good business idea.

This is a fantastic thing. I may pay full price for it, if it has all the puzzles.

Great news. I don't know how will they do it, because the game HAS to be played with dual screens. People who beat it know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure they'll figure something out.

On iOS, they ditched the puzzle rooms and made it a VN. Ya, wasn't the same game as DS for sure.

 

[Knurek]

It really doesn't need to be played with dual screens.
Really.
Just use slightly different font colors for... stuff.

And remove sudoku

Better yet, start the game with both texts as pure white and gradually change one to blue and the other to red.

Switch it with a nonogram then

No, stop it, stop it!!! Don't try to ruin the game

the sudoku was perfect, as solving each of the 9 big squares gave you a piece of the solution for the puzzle in the present. You can't do that with picross.

 

[mp1990]

This is a fantastic thing. I may pay full price for it, if it has all the puzzles.

For me, 999 loses lots of its appeal without the puzzles. I know some people loathe the gameplay sections in the game, but I don't think the game would have the same impact without them, with some of the most significant moments completely relying on those (

Spoiler

eg: playing Sudoku with your past self in the ending

), and although I feel some are very poorly designed, I'd still choose them rather than just being a straight up visual novel.

I love 999, but a part of me wishes that instead of simply porting it over, they go back and take another look at the amateurish script/localization

Spoiler

some may argue this is intentional because of the last twist but I'm not sure

and lack of a flowchart system. These flaws always prevent a potential replay, whereas VLR was a joy to play thrice. Probably too much effort for just a simple PC port, however.
