new footage and info on Battle Chasers Nightwar, about 20mins.

Still no release date unfortunately. In case you dont know, its made by ex-vigil guys (the Darksiders peeps), its a dungeon crawler / jrpg mix up based on the 90s Joe Madureira comic Battle Chasers.

 

[pislit]

wtf is going on on that yooka laylee thread, when is the game's review embargo lifted that's all i wanted to know

 

[Kaleinc]

This Total War: Warhammer update is killing me, I only have 30 GB of free space and despite it seemingly just needing 300 mb, it obviously needs to rearrange the whole game or whatever, so I'm stuck with the not enough hard disk space message.

It's really high time I bought more storage space.

Just uninstall and redownload.

 

[Rhaknar]

oh theres a possible God EAter 3 announcement today? I guess, in theory, that would be day and date for PC.

jim sterling said something and if jim sterling says something it is the objective truth and any questioning of jim sterling is wrong and if you do not like jim sterling then you are a bad person

Yes, although this is a Japanese announcement afaik so won't be hearing about PC yet

 

[derFeef]

Isn't the opposit happening in this thread?

 

[Lanrutcon]

This guy (Jim) is an asshole. I can't stand him. He's one of the biggest internet trolls I've ever seen and instead of ignoring guys like him he gets so much attention. I will never understand this. never.

Uh hu. "Questioning".

 

[Ludens]

What happened to Metal Gear Survive? It should be a 2017 release, we are almost in April
and nothing except a crappy gameplay was revealed.

 

[Ozium]

Uh hu. "Questioning".

nice cherry picking.

sorry I don't fall down to my knees at every word jim sterling speaks, mate

Delayed release for switch and to bring snake back in smash

 

[Corpekata]

Maybe you personally are not crazy pants, but like 90 percent of the people in that thread are.

People in there hoping he gets sued for daring break an embargo, like that's anything a well adjusted person would give a fuck about.

 

[Lashley]

My 11 year old nephew is coming to visit for a week and I don't want to play Minecraft all the time.

Couch coop recommendations? I have a gaming rig and an average laptop, so my LAN options are limited.

Any of the Lego games?

 

[Ludens]

Or canceled to make a MGS3 Remake.

Yeah I won't download for me

 

[Lanrutcon]

Yes, because that's exactly what everyone who doesn't call Jim an asshole is doing.

that suing shit is dumb, but in the first few pages you have other people who have played the game saying "uhh I disagree" and they were roasted. you had links to a gamexplain video where they flat out state "xbox one is 30 fps with dips, pc is 60fps" and SEVERAL people have said they were playing without frame problems on pc.. but the overarching narrative is "yooka has bad framerate, it is a shit game, preorder cancelled, thanks jim!"

also I don't think it's crazy to refer to him as a troll, it's his entire schtick that he beats into the ground all the time. how many videos has he made whining about steam's lack of curation? he continously plays the most garbage games on steam and then uses that as evidence that he is correct, when any rational person could instantly tell games he plays are complete shit by looking at the store page.

Yes, because that's exactly what everyone who doesn't call Jim an asshole is doing.

if you say so

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy

Damn.

Wanted to try it, but everyone I talk to about it says Sword City is better. Are they wrong?

 

[Wok]

As I wrote to Ozium just now, Yooka is not a matter of discussion until its release. Right now, the Steam forum is still heavily polluted:

Almost all the thousand threads are now locked. It used to be like this for pages:

 

[Corpekata]

Wanted to try it, but everyone I talk to about it says Sword City is better. Are they wrong?

No. Sword City is much better (and even then not that great).

Operation Abyss is an incredibly mediocre game, and given how many other mediocre Vita DRPGs have been ported, it's not a surprise it got lost in the shuffle. The only reason to buy it really is that they actually priced it sanely, or if you're a hardcore fan that plays pretty much everything in the genre.

 

[Parsnip]

Wasn't Dirt Showdown free somewhere before it was delisted? Or was that some other Dirt game?

Its available for around 200€ for 2 months now every few days (in Germany at least).

Right now Saturn has a 1TB PS4 Slim with Uefa 2016 for 229€.

Cheapest that I can find in Finland is 239€. All I really want is Persona so 300€ (console + game) is way way way too high a price for just one game.

 

[data]

All these DRPG's on Steam always get mediocre/bad reviews. Only Sakura Dungeon got above 90%

Steam doesn't even have a tag for DRPGs. Only Dungeon Crawler which gives you all games in which you spend time in dungeons.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I didn't have faith in Yooka since seeing the toy box demo.

 

[ramoisdead]

My 11 year old nephew is coming to visit for a week and I don't want to play Minecraft all the time.

Couch coop recommendations? I have a gaming rig and an average laptop, so my LAN options are limited.

Towerfall, Spelunky, Videoball, and Lovers In A Dangerous Space Time are games I can recommend.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I don't get the "Steam puts bad games in your face" line of thinking either.

Square Enix Spring Surprise Box 2017 US version has been revealed.

That's shockingly bad. I really expected at least one Final Fantasy game in it. Really glad I didn't order it.

 

[gngf123]

Wanted to try it, but everyone I talk to about it says Sword City is better. Are they wrong?

Sword City is better and also has fairly low numbers, 21k after nearly a year.

Sakura Dungeon released around the same time and sold much better because of anime tits.

 

[Ascheroth]

Sword City is better and also has fairly low numbers, 21k after nearly a year.

It was also 40$ though (I think?).

[gngf123]

It was, although you could get it cheaper elsewhere. I vaguely remember getting mine at launch for around £21, while it was on Steam for £30.

 

[Doomedfool]

I really expected I would at least get a Final Fantasy game out the new bundle. Would have been nice, since I own almost none of them. At least Square was nice enough to give me an extra middle finger by including a 20% off code that can't be used on any Eastern games

Most of NISA's games that aren't Disgaea don't really have all that many sales on Steam. I wouldn't be too worried.

Wow, those are a letdown.

I have Dungeon Siege III and actually haven't played it. What sort of game is it - a diablo clone?

DIablo-like action rpg with Mass Effect/Obsidian-ish dialogue and story.
I enjoyed it unlike everyone else, heh.

 

[Phawx]

Hooooo boy.

That SE bundle got me good. I was expecting at least ONE FF title.

 

[Ascheroth]

Much like how it is with SEGA and PC ports, SE mystery boxes follow the same guidelines of 'Expect nothing and you'll still be disappointed'.

After all, you can't write SEGA without SE.

 

[ezodagrom]

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy
Owners: 1,258

Damn.

Way too early to quote numbers from Steamspy (it's better to wait around 4~7 days after release before posting steamspy numbers), though the game doesn't really look interesting from the store page pics, so I wouldn't expect much even after waiting.

 

[dave is ok]

It was probably entirely possible possible to get that entire SE bundle for less than 10 dollars total over the past couple years

 

[PandaPedinte]

Some things never change.

Tried it other day and I couldn't find anyone, be it casual or ranked matches.

 

[Aaron D.]

jim sterling said something and if jim sterling says something it is the objective truth and any questioning of jim sterling is wrong and if you do not like jim sterling then you are a bad person

I think there's room for more nuance than this.

Sterling is not beyond reproach, nor is he grounds for immediate dismissal. Suggesting either is a rather simplistic outlook.

Reminds me of all those myopic, "LOL, Pachter." sentiments.

So uh, did anyone who is subbed to the G2A bundle get the new one automatically or what are they doing? Says my membership is activated but neither has any money been charged nor a new bundle shown up in my account.
