(because playstation ireland, along with playstation serbia and playstation burkina faso and playstation isis, don't know shit about shit?)

Considering PlayStation Ireland had to delete their first tweet where they said it was a exclusive and then issued a correction where they said it was timed, it's likely they got contacted by the main branch that made them correct the info.

 

[Sarcasm]

cmon Nier preload where the hell are you

Is there even one?

i hope so its 50 GB for god sake

no biggie tho, it happens

that's ok, i remember you in league thread mostly because i kept thinking you were trolling with ur random theorycrafting questions lol

 

[Wok]

Why is this even still a fucking debate after this tweet?

https://twitter.com/PlayStationIE/status/834336383112212480

It's a timed exclusive.

Thanks for making this clear.

Hope is not lost.

A friend of mine suggested that Sony would try to keep the PC release hidden for at least a few weeks after the PS4 release, so that a maximal number of people buy the game on PS4 thinking it would be an exclusivity rather than a timed exclusivity.
So, let us say official PC annoucement on July 30.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Is it really that big a deal if vikings took over Scotland? Crusader Kings 2 seems to think so, because every. single. petty lord, king, and duke in Scotland, England, and Ireland united to beat my invasion force back.

(Land with a red outline are at war with me as I initially tried to fight just the blue bit, Scotland, in the North. I am of course the vikings of Norway. It ballooned into a religious war as they united against the pagan invaders.)

Feels bad, man.


Lesson learned: always have allies for this stuff...

 

[Boss Doggie]

CK2 is fun, I once married a cousin.

Or they could port the Metal Gear Legacy Collection to Xbox One, PS4 and PC instead. That would be something for MGS fans to enjoy at least.

Then I'd have to replay the entire series and I ain't got time for that.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

So Crash probably isn't coming to PC. Not that I ever expected it to but someone posted it might be a few days ago.

Am I missing something?

Cos the article in that link seems to indicate absolutely nothing. Reads more like a guy's opinion

 

[Coreda]

It was pointing out that a site basing their news on a PC release got their wires crossed wrt to comments at PAX that were believed to confirm it (though it's hard to hear on my speakers). Came across it while searching for news on Crash for PC.

Someone later posted however that PS Ireland issued some tweet stating it's only exclusive to PS4 initially, whatever that may end up being. Hopefully we'll see a PC release.

I beat Oceanhorn yesterday. The ending was very unsatisfying...

Otherwise the game was fun to play, but the boss fights were boring

how long did it take?

 

[Deques]

how long did it take?

Totally around 9 hours. 1 extra hour was to find the remaining heart pieces and the other spells that you won't obtain during the story.

If you want to play a Zelda game this is the one that you should play. But I find it that it tried too hard to be a Zelda game and not a game of it's own

sounds about right, I had about 8 hours when I dropped it very close to finishing it. Still bummed about that, I didnt "drop it" at the time, I just kinda...stopped playing it for other things, and never got back so technically in the end I did drop it :/

I do the same thing more often than I'd like. I'm getting better at going back to finish them, though. I finally played Outland all the way through a couple weeks ago. I dropped that one back when it first came out on PS3 in like... 2011? Gotta love years late Steam releases lol.

It's hard to get back to games that you put on hold. First you don't remember what you did before dropping the game, second you don't remember how to play the game >.<

 

[Rhaknar]

aye, which is exactly why I never got back to finishing it

Yeah, if it's not an overly long game I'll usually just start it over. There are exceptions, though. I played Persona 3 spread out over something like 4 years because I kept getting burned out on it but I really wanted to finish it and fuck restarting a game that long when you're 70 hours in. By the time I finally beat it, I had no idea what the hell was even going on in the story anymore.

Oceanhorn is a mobile game in its heart. I stopped when I felt it was too shallow to be a PC game. No regret.

By the way, a reliable videogame-focused French newspaper gave The Night in the Woods its best score so far for 2017 (for a PC game). I think more people should play it, including myself.

Wow, that Kinda Funny thread is at 72 pages. I'm almost tempted to see what the big deal is.

I need to pick up Nier today, gonna feel guilty for spending that money but I have been so strong this year, so many games I wanted but haven't bought a single one.

Okay guys I'm going a bit nuts here. All of my wireless xbox one controllers d-pads will not work at all now on windows 10. I don't know what changed I didn't update or anything.

Edit: Even plugged in they aren't working wtf

Solved it, turn off the steam big picture configuration for xbox controllers.

So how's that new Train Sim World game looking?

[Arthea]

Talking about games that are locked for Asia, do you need VPN to redeem keys or play games? Or is it just purchase-gifting lock? Can these be gifted to someone in Asia?


edited: I also think that media has to get on this issue, it's ridiculous that there are no reasons for this that we know of and nobody cares enough to look into it.

Depends on games, sometimes VPN is required to redeem keys. (like Total Warhammer in Japan), other times not.

I don't think there's any play locked keys or gifts for Asia.

So, yes games can be gifted to Asia, assuming you live in region that has no extra locks.

You can. And the classic controls with the new graphics.

Pathologic's "demo" is up. It's more of a short spinoff game than a demo, but if you want to know what some of the hubbub is about this weird ass game, it's a good starting point.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Ugh, that bonus campaign about Ada Wong in RE4, "Separate Ways" is not as great as main story. Really bad pacing, dumb situations (fuck that ship in chapter 4 and whoever designed this segment) and idiotic checkpoints locations. Also, unlike main story all cutscenes in bonus campaign left untouched, painfully low resolution and pixelization all over screen.

Played it previous year because i got "alpha access" as backer, it's really great and you all should go and play it. Unique atmosphere and concept, looking forward for "beta" and release

Unfortunately it was the extra bit added for the PS2 port of RE4, which had entirely pre-rendered cutscenes. So while the main game's cutscenes could be sourced from the GameCube's real-time ones, Separate Ways is left with the tragedy of those low res grody videos.

I think Metal Gear Rising and the Castlevania games are the only ones that could not even be gifted to Asia region.

I'm more worried how they managed to fuck up level design so hard, it's impressive how it visually looks like RE4 but didn't feel anywhere near as good as RE4 main story.

 

[Arthea]

I think Metal Gear Rising and the Castlevania games are the only ones that could not even be gifted to Asia region.

I think Castlevania games couldn't not be gifted at all, at least the first game couldn't be and it wasn't region specific too, as far as I can remember, maybe they changed that later, I'm not sure, talking about release time here.

but really gaming media is useless, it's like they aren't even aware of most stuff that needs to be researched.

 

[GhostTrick]

No Nier Automata in SEA yet... Could it be, I know this word is forbidden, a deal going on ? :")

Even though in that case, I suspect this is on SE for 98%

I think its more S-E fucking something up. Their whole release-policy in Asia is strange. Some games locked, some games arent.

I enjoyed it, it's a very nice extra and fills in a lot of blanks.
Just having Ada makes it worth playing.
