Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

anyway, is Powerpuff Girls still up - that's the game being removed right

It was pulled yesterday. There may be spare gift copies floating around, but it was purely a digital release, so no cheap retail keys.

 

[_hekk05]

come on guys, MGS without Kojima is no MGS
I hope Konami lets the series end on a good note rather than run it to the ground T_T

Hah.

I predict another MGS in 2 years. And I wouldn't buy it.

To prove my point

Okay SteamGAF, which do I play first?

Ski-World Simulator - http://store.steampowered.com/app/273850/

Snowcat Simulator - http://store.steampowered.com/app/273860/

Well, the latter has two fewer negative reviews, so that... unless you want to save the "best" for last.

 

[lashman]

woohoo ... Capcpom FINALLY fixed Raid Mode crashes in Revelaitons 2 ... about time

 

[Arthea]

it's still going on here, at my place
still not as impressive as a full eclipse (or almost full not sure which) I've seen before once in my life.

Are you looking straight at it because that's not a good idea

I was looking through darkened glass, but it was still bad idea

You get a Zen Garden, and YOU get a Zen Garden!

EVERYBODY GETS ZEN GARDENS!



Okay I was writing something more serious about this but it got out of hand way too fast.

In short; we goofed, majorly, on the sendout of keys to the promo item "Zen Garden" that was rewarded to people that signed up to our pre-launch newsletter. A whole lot of people ended up not getting their item which is obviously a bad thing.

It was intended to be a one-time exclusive just like pre-order items or stuff we'd give away at conventions. Alas, with the extra struggle that appeared with the missing keys, we decided this shouldn't be the case.

So we're giving it to everyone.

We'll update both the standard and deluxe versions to include this item by default. As we're working with the Steam backend it might take a little while for it to update, but expect it to pop up in-game (under parks) some time today.

Please note that we're not planning to make a habit out of giving away promo items to everyone. This is a one time thing.


Cheers,
The Cities: Skylines Team

cool

No, Arthea, whatever happened to you. However will I notice your posts now... :\

I bought it on release I'm just crazy like that ... and it's a pretty decent game too

I have the best avatar in this thread, it's really hard not to notice?

Also forgot to mention that weekly HB delivered, no jinx happened, we can keep reading Turf's posts.

 

[Deques]

I don't understand, I have Zen Garden 2, I think, they will give me the first one and I don't need to do nothing?

The promo seems to be an in-game item for Cities Skylines

 

[ViviOggi]

It's been slightly darker than usual here in Germany but it's so damn foggy today that it hardly makes any difference

Fraud eclipse

I don't see any difference here either in Sweden. Seems to be normal

 

[JaseC]

cool

The subs were updated about half an hour ago, but the app is still private and doesn't like being forced to download via the console ("Failed to get encryption key for depot ID 346790").

Anybody else find it weird that almost every other major game gets a month early Steam store page, sometimes far earlier, and that Dark Souls II "re-release" is nowhere in sight on Steam. I mean, Ikaruga popped up the day of, but that's kinda different.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well with Thief in the shitter, Splinter Cell abandoned after Raymond left and MGS due to get the Konami succession treatment it appears the big budget Stealth genre is deader than ever.

Well, at least on the PC, the DX9 version of Scholar of the First Sin is just Dark Souls 2 plus the DLC and has been available in Japan for the past month. I know the description mentions some changes, but there are no new apps in the sub at all.

We'll always have Unity's dedicated crouch button.

Steam mobile app updates inbound next week, and yes that means Android too

I'll laugh if it's just a small update addressing a handful of bugs and not a fairly significant overhaul.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

With KojiPro seemingly the ones handling any project that would have brought the older MGS games to Steam, I wonder what this news means for seeing that to completion. I was about as eager for that as I was for MGSV itself ;-;

 

[Ozium]

the update will be that the mobile app is retired and removed from stores

Don't worry, the team behind the Silent Hill HD remaster will still be around!

at the least it'll introduce this

 

[Arthea]

I'm not sure why you are so confident about ports, bad or no. Who knows what Konami is planning, they might leave gaming side of their business altogether, well not pachinko and mobile but all other.

Spoiler

glad to help

 

[Dice]

cool

It's funny to think of people getting upset for missing Zen Garden. I guess they do need one.

 

[ArynCrinn]

I think From is just embarassed on what they want try to sell to PC users, so they'll wait the very first minute to put the store page up with proper screenshots etc. Because until now there are literally no reasons to buy again this version.

Or.

They will gave the new update for free to all users, including DX11 etc. But this is impossible.

This would be the obvious thing to do, or at the very least a $4.99 charge for the very menial changes overall for PC users. But no, we'll prolly get a 10-15% discount on a $50 re-release, for zero reason than milking the customer.

@Jase, I was referring to the DX11 version. I hate actually typing that it's so nonsensical, that in 2015 we PC users who could have ran the alpha visuals far beyond what they looked like originally (and modded further at 4K and higher) we have to pay for a fucking DX11 update with lame superficial changes.

Now, if they were to totally overhaul the engine and fix all the mechanics issues and bring everything up to par with DS1 in all respects, than I wouldn't mind. But no, just DX11 "features" and remixed enemies/items and aggression mode. LOL That'll do Namco....

 

[Arthea]

I just noticed that only Lego game with cards is one that almost never goes on sale, that has to be the reason why, no?

Not even during the Disney sale?

Spoiler

and speaking of cards pls accept my trade

It was discounted once last year, but not deep enough to bite.

I'm at work now, will check when back at home

bleh. we need a possible games to be pulled list.

anyway, if you guys see me and hekk05 getting banned out of the blue, it may be due to the Gravity Rush thread about the Korean Ratings Board showing a PS4 version being rated.

JaseC answer: Every game has the potential to be pulled so you better get them all.

I don't recall asking for any ports. I got plenty of japanese games.

IDK, we all excel in this *shrugs*. The key is not to do this in OT threads, because that's really annoying and bannable.

Just harmless banter.
But VitaGAF indeed invades every second thread asking for Vita versions so it's slightly amusing to see them complain.
For the record I'd take any new Gravity Rush on any platform.

Meh, Codemasters gets no love from me right now. They've been converting Dirt 3 into Steamworks for over a year and a half now. How long can it really take? I mean sure, they don't have to do that but they did kind of promise it ages ago and have had GFWL removal FAQ up on Steam forums for well over a year now.
