Yeah, some of the "newer" areas don't look meh, especially the train and the factory screenshots, looks very inconsistent, still having high hopes for the game.

So far I think the HTC Vive route is the best way to go. Having said that, I still think even though it's technically possible to have a good time with it, they really need to sort out all of the friction issues.
Current list of things that need to be solved or smoothed over:
Self-Powered with wireless display/sound
Better ergonomics
Machines that cost <$1000 to run properly
Controller Standards
Moving vs Seated VR categories
Right now my favorite types of VR games are ones that deal with vertigo or ones that have a Virtual Desk/Computer. Horror games lend themselves very well to 'playing a game on a virtual computer' and reading notes or whatever and having the 'virtual room' respond to stuff in the game.
That stuff is super freaky.
VR has a lot of baggage.

I don't care either, not even a little bit.
Maybe in a few iterations and when it has games I want.

Well fatigue probably would set in if I liked DS2 but since I dropped that I'm ready to jump into DS3 and hope for the best there.
I played more than 800 hours of Dark Souls 2 (counting SOTFS playtime as well), I'm very ready for Dark Souls III.
Oceanhorn for a buck is good deal. Humble has redeemed themselves after that one atrocious f2p bundle not too long ago.
Never understood the complaints for Souls fatigue. There is nothing there to be fatigued about. Its not like they are pushing some story and the gameplay is not repetitive at all. There are so many build varieties, enemy variety, different areas to explore and bosses to fight. I don't see how anyone can get fatigued by it. FROM has released 5 games along with a ton of high quality DLC in the past 7 years and they've knocked it all out of the park. There is no reason why they can't continue doing it. I expect them to unveil a new ip in this years E3 and release the game this time next year. These guys are on fire.

just a reminder that tuesday maintenance is around the corner and with it the 15 day trade/market hold on items should take place.
so if you're not using the mobile authenticator and will need some wallet credit ready for the spring sale (in two weeks, right?), now would be good time to sell the stuff

That's a pretty bad article. It's just the common hype train and lord Miyazaki talk
I can understand why some are fatigued since I'm fatigues myself. The series doesn't have the uniqueness like it used to. The formula has only been changed slightly every game.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I've been idling as fast as I can for a week and I still have 100ish drops left. God damn

Is Oceanhorn in a bundle or something?
Yep, in the Humble Jumbo
Are you saying... Armored Core? ^_^
I can't believe how good that HB is, it's one of the best all time for sure.
Unless second week additions will be bad, but that would be strange, wouldn't it? Why ruin such a great bundle, I mean.
As for Mind zero given to the port, I'll still buy it and play it, resolution be damned if it's bug free, although that won't happen any time soon, considering situation
and by situation I mean TOOMANYGAMES
unrelated edit: I still can't give a damn about VR, maybe because it won't make Trails any better or Stardew Valley or Steing Gate or Civ or card games, not sure about Dang still
well, you get my drift, totally useless your VRs are
it's simply true

Armored Core, Otogi, Lost Kingdoms, Chromehounds, New IPs. From Software has forgotten mostly about doing other things for most of the part. Last games that were not part of the Soul series were Armored Core Verdict Day and I think Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. They used to make more things before in the PS2/GC/Xbox days.
All you need to know it has Uematsu soundtrack, I'm yet to see any bad game Maestro worked on, he's not that kind of a guy.
unrelated edit: oh yea, today is the day we bury the market too, right after we buried trading. good riddance, all good things end some day.
I think there was a licensing problem and Uematsu soundtrack isn't in the PC version.
Such a sad day. I used the market a lot.
And I am salty because it hits right as the blazblue stuff becomes tradable.

I was just thinking about Ittle Dew 2 because of Oceanhorn, and it turns out they released a new trailer today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VjPNY41hQg
No release date though :/

That's what I've heard too. But he only did one track in the game anyway.

Gems are probably going to go up in price after that change takes affects.

he was supposed to do soundtrack, I remember from announcement times.
Whatever happened to that?
It seems I need to investigate this issue.
The track apparenty is on iOS/Android version, but not on PC.
But apparenty it's included into Steam OST DLC for the game.

I still believe Devolved would team with From Software to bring Metal Wolf Chaos to Steam. You can't take that away from me.
Zky look what your LoL purchasing did
We are delighted to announce that Radiant Entertainment has been acquired by Riot Games.

I would love for From Software to get away from the Souls franchise if it meant they'd develop more games.
Their output went from 3-4 games a year to 1-2 every couple years, which is pretty disappointing.
Then again, I really like their Souls games...hmm conflicted.

don't know em
hopefully it'll be something league related
i'm all for new ips but revisiting these characters in a different genre is something i'd be very much into
RIP Rising Thunder I quite liked you.Zky look what your LoL purchasing did

If you happen to like RTS games, don't ignore Grey Goo at the $12 tier if you are going for the lower tiers anyway. It's simply a good, very well done good old RTS with proper SP campaign and gorgeous cinematics. No idea about the MP though, maybe that's why it has only 70% positive, 30% negative Steam reviews.
DAMMIT ALL! I really freakin' liked Rising Thunder...
I don't know about licensing issues, but when I played Oceanhorn on PC, neither Uematsu or Ito tracks were there.
It's very likely that they just made the contract specifically for the mobile game rather than all future platforms. And like Teppic said, the mobile versions had like maybe 3-4 songs total from these Japanese fellas, Kalle Ylitalo is the main composer of the soundtrack even on mobile.

Thanks to jshackles' generosity, I won Oceanhorn in a giveaway.
I've played only about 20-30 minutes so far, but I like what I'm seeing.
- Really nice, bright graphics.
- Smooth controls (360 controller here). Combat is good. Interacting with the world is seamless. It's easy to dash, pick up items, etc. The only thing I would want added is a jump button!
- The story and acting are "good for a video game," which means the story is ridiculous and the acting is barely decent, but it works, lol.
- For some reason, the game started out windowboxed for me. I fiddled with something in the settings - not sure what - and that fixed it.
- Obviously inspired by Zelda and the like. The main character even looks like Link. No objections here.
Well worth a buck in the Humble Jumbo Bundle.
Thanks, jshackles!
