It's going to be a year.

Maybe Nier being succesful might make them rethink their strategy.
...But it has been such a clusterfuck that they could very well take the wrong lessons from it :/

Our new strategy! Tease PC gamers about a possible release, reveal and remove release dates, and then rake in all the money when we finally give them a real date!

just for funsies i tried running MK 8 at 10K resolution

(downsampled to 4k because it would be a 80MB image otherwise)



Even at this res it was pumping out 10-15 fps. This is insane. I don't think the game would perform this well if it was officially ported lol.

Man, that's beautiful. 10k is such a crazy concept to me. Makes me wonder what gaming will be like 20 years from now.

It's probably Conan Exiles, right?

I think I'd be more interested if it was DRAGON: A Game About A Dragon though. Still can't get over that title.

Why all those crpg have awful "deluxe" editions?
I mean, what's the purpose to pay even 30€ more to have forum avatars, a recipe book or stuff like that?
I would agree if they offered a season pass, but they seem all insanely overpriced to me (I'm talking about Pillars, Tyranny and Torment of course).
 
Whaaa. So now paying for games opens a Steam app link if paid via the browser rather than display a confirmation page/receipt? Doesn't even function properly as nothing happens in the Steam client.

Update: so I was forced to pay via the Steam client instead. Ugh. With no LastPass availability it's annoying having to copy/paste over details. Wish all games I'd like were on GOG.


Wait, did they really remove the ability to buy stuff via browser?

Those are all goodies they gave away on kickstarter for the higher backer tiers, so people paying more would get at least *something* more, and now that they have all this stuff created they might as well sell that as DLC

I like such deluxe editions. It allows people to throw more money at developers if they really, really want to do that but the rest of us miss exactly zero gameplay content.

I do wonder if those deluxe editions sell well though but I guess they do because developers keep doing that.

The bad thing about Nier is that it's DirectX11. So forcing AA through Inspector and downsampling through GeDoSaTo is pretty much out of the question. So basically the game has to come out with support for arbitrary resolutions and decent AA right out of the box. You could probably force ReShade AA. But I find that it's not very good at all.

Hopefully the game is so popular that someone can mod arbitrary resolutions and AA into the game somehow.

Sorry for being a pessimist, but the last few games I've bought have been horrible. They also happened to be Koei Tecmo games... Damn I'm so salty.

Didn't play Nier, and if I'm decided to leave my OCD behind and not plays every games in a series these days, wouldn't it be a waste ? Come to think of it I don't know how linked they are.

If you're OCD about completing a franchise then you're tough out of luck with this one lol.

There 4 Games
A Book
A Drama CD
Around 30 small Novellas
2x 3 Manga Volumes
A picture book
and a stageplay

All of it is canon and only avilable in japanese, excluding the games.


If you can overcome it tho, know that none of i is needed at all to enjoy Automata

I used to be like this but nowadays I really don't care. So there might be some winks and nods and connective tissues, oh well. Play the game that is more immediately interesting and seems more fun, don't make yourself suffer through dozens upon dozens of hours of older, jankier games with the idea that it is the "real" way to go through it. Fuck it. They're games.

Owlboy. Do not listen to others.

Then Hollow Knight, but you will get burnt once again.

I think you can find translations to a lot of that stuff. Still not needed for Nier Automata since from what I gather most stuff is small nods

Hollow Knight is great. It's also pretty cheap for what you get.

Fate/Extella and Cold Steel will come to PC. It's just a matter of when.
I imagine Cold Steel will come, just wish they'd be faster and maybe try to have CS3 next year with a PC version day 1 like Tokyo Xanadu and Ys VIII

Fate I'm not so sure tbh

I hate this crossmedia stuff because most of it tends to never leave Japan

I'll probably only play the games I can get access to
