Over the last several weeks I have been watching many videos of the DX11 Sins Dark Souls 2. To be honest, visually I can almost see no differences. Definately no meaningful ones. Even worse, a fully pimped GeDoSaTo DX9 Dark Souls 2 looks imo much, much better than the DX11 version.

The new enemy placement is not doing anything at all as well for me either in the way that it doesn't want me to replay it. But I can understand for others this to be different.

It is an interesting case though since unlike DS1-DS:pTD, DS2 DX9-DX11 are not offering the exact same experience (enemy placement is most likely the biggest difference). The DX9 version won't get pulled from the store, I am sure, since they are not cross-compatible unlike DS1-PTD, so it won't become a rare item after all.

Anyhow, the new version doesn't make much sense for me.

This makes me believe there won't be any more delays.

Seems like a game you will buy in 5-10 years when you have that itch to play through DS2 again.

Is the game currently still really that bad? I read that lots of issues got patched and it is a very playable AssCreed. Many even have fun with it.

There are still many minor bugs, but I didn't encounter anything overly bothersome.

Gurumin is cool, surprised only 1 person my friendlist got it :eek:

Oh i guess i was looking at the friends who played it, guess that's different than owning it.

Played ENIGMA : An Illusion Named Family... It was MUCH better than I expected. It's an RPG Maker Horror game with some stronger visual novel cues. Felt sort of in line with something like Corpse Party meets Mermaid Swamp to me. Deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.

Steam Review:

-------

If you're a fan of RPG Maker horror games, this game is worth checking out. The game is more in-line with something like Crooked Man, Mermaid Swamp, or even Corpse Party than Ib, Witch's House, or the like, based partially on a more grounded and less fantastical setting (but still interesting and dark), a variety of drawn images appear throughout the game in special story moments, and the game is less focused on strict puzzle gameplay and more on exploring, finding items, avoiding the murderer, and visual novel-like story moments sprinkled with the occasional puzzle.

If you've never played an RPG Maker Horror Game, basically it's a horror game with a viewpoint like an old SNES RPG-type game but with a lack of turn-based battles and more focused on events, puzzles, chasers; but in this game's case with many visual novel scenes. This game is completely worth the $5 if you enjoy these kind of games. It's biggest flaw comes in its translation, as there are Engrish elements to it and some typos, but I never didn't understand what they were saying, and as I got more into the game, it became very easy to overlook and just enjoy. The only other thing is the game has some minor bugs, I ran into a few, but thankfully found nothing game-breaking, mainly some sequence breaking.

The game has good production values for an RPG Maker game. There's several animated videos, that look nice. The original and licensed music is all very good. The Korean voice acting is well-casted, sometimes they sound a bit dry and emotionless, but pull off many scenes wonderfully, and added rather than took away in my opinion.

This is all backed by a surprising story than was quite enjoyable, and surprisingly some good endings. Endings are something that can be hard to get right, but this game nailed it, and gave the game that extra omph to make the whole experience feel worth playing to the end. The game has three endings, all three are good though I do have a favorite, and all are worth getting; the ending doesn't just change the ending but radically changes the last third of the game for some very different gameplay and story experiences.

Game actually got me a few times with its scares and atmosphere, but didn't overly rely on cheap tricks. Mixed with the horror elements is a murder mystery that gets kind of gripping, and some humor sprinkled in and used to good effect. There's also in this game a deep-rooted morale about family, but it's one of the few times a game I feel doesn't push the morale in your face and didn't feel like it was preaching it to you or feel cringe-worthy or forced in anyway. Game also is of decent length, taking someone probably 5-7 hours to get the first ending, and about 5-7 hours to get the other two endings, and a lot of that second 5-7 hours being filled with new stuff.

Overall a very solid RPG Maker Horror game that can stand with some of the greats, worth it for fans of these type of games, or if you have an interest in horror games in general, murder mysteries with a spice of some psychological and surreal horror, or those wanting to try more pixelated games in the horror genre. Welcome to the family!

If you've never played an RPG Maker Horror Game, I would recommend first trying one of the above games to see if they're for you; they're free~ But this game is completely worth the $5 if you enjoy these kind of games.

and how to change the voice to Japanese with English subtitle ?

If the game has a separate language option for subtitles then I imagine it'd just be a matter of changing the game language from within the client (right-click -> Properties -> Language -> Japanese)... but I wouldn't do this unless you can read Japanese since it'd also affect text.
 
I didn't even vote for Gurumin on Greenlight. I just joined the group and left a comment. I knew that they wouldn't be sifting through everyone's profile to see if they voted for them.

You sound proud, like a troubled kid who is so proud he was able to steal a pair of sunglasses and then take advantage of a no receipt return policy to bring them back to the store for cash. Disgusting.
