FYI, Syberia 2 is also Origins 'On The House' game today:

[Endruen]

I'm not a fan of Amano myself, but the appeal in his style is quite apparent. The use of color and abstract look are quite enticing.

I really can't see the appeal. To each their own I guess.

Trashing Amano, SteamGAF, what have yer become

Hey, I'm not trashing, just stating my opinion. And that image you posted looks several times better than the Final Fantasy ones.

 

[Tizoc]

Hopefully we start seeing more of these low-poly retro indie games coming:

Oh wow, wishlisted. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the information! Added to my Origin library.

 

[kagamin]

Didn't realize people had a problem with Amano's art.

 

[Wok]

So Homefront: The Revolution - Freedom Fighter Bundle is $12 and comes with the new DLC. Is this a price error? SHould I grab it quick before it gets fixed?

Wait, Amazon had it for that price last year. Or not. DLC is complex.

I don't know.

 

[Tizoc]

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

 

[prudislav]

So about the Atelier Firis game does the gameplay differ in any way compared to sophie, any improvements, changes? or is it more of the same just with new protag, new story and older Sophie?

 

[Ozium]

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

I hope not, it's a shitty game.

 

[NingenJanai]

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

that would be amazing.

 

[Wok]

More FMV games.

 

[MUnited83]

Is Atelier playable without a controller?

Initially not that much but someone made a key rebinding mod for Sophie that made it better. Ideally it will work with Firis as well.

 

[Tonton]

LMAO LEGO Worlds is R$129 in brazil fuck off warner

 

[Jawmuncher]

More FMV games.

Finally

 

[Hero Prinny]

LMAO LEGO Worlds is R$129 in brazil fuck off warner

But what about all the content

 

[Vazra]

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

Would buy. Game visuals have aged well and the gameplay is fun.

 

[ramoisdead]

More FMV games.

But that's not Contradiction: Spot The Liar 2. =[

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Do we have an idea on when the next steam sale is?

 

[SunDimension24]

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

hmmmmm....and it would make sense to base it off the PS3 version since that version had the extra content and two more playable characters.......hmmmmm

 

[Jawmuncher]

Why wouldn't namco Bandai publish their own shit?

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

lol Jaw

 

[Tizoc]

Why wouldn't namco Bandai publish their own shit?

The game was not developed by Bamco. In Asia (excluding Japan), Microsoft published it on the 360 apparently.

 

[Parsnip]

I hadn't seen this art before but it's great!

Never been a fan of Amano, but that's probably one of his more likeable pieces.


All future FF projects need to have Akihiko Yoshida as the main artist though.

Now that I think about, what if Ghostlight's RPG is Eternal Sonata?

I was actually thinking that as one of the possibilities when Ross teased it last, but I doubt it's a game from a publisher who has a very strong presence on Steam on their own.
I guess it could be that Ghostlight would do the work and Bamco would publish, but eh. I don't see it.

The game was not developed by Bamco. In Asia (excluding Japan), Microsoft published it on the 360 apparently.

MS distributed it in some regions.

Now we're talking.

 

[ramoisdead]

Why wouldn't namco Bandai publish their own shit?

Same reason why Ray Gigant was published by someone else instead of Bamco and if you look at the console side, Summon Night 6 and Gaijinworks. If it is Eternal Sonata, it isn't going to be a top seller so why waste resources on porting when you can license it to someone who can port it like Ghostlight and get some kind of money back.

 

[Hektor]

You know which microsoft published JRPG should make it on steam?

Spoiler

 

[Nzyme32]

More FMV games.

I am totally down for more FMV games if it can bring us closer to Contradiction 2, or be a great game in its own right

 

[Volimar]

Spoiler

Agreed.

 

[uncredited male]

The FF6 Amano stuff is the best.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I could go for losty odyssey or eternal sonata. Both games I played on 360. I never finished lost odyssey though I tried several times.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I would love Eternal Sonata from... Well anywhere, but to be honest I'd personally be more interested in the trinity's other game, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.



GIVE ME THIS FLAWED GEM ON STEAM, PLEASE.

(it was made by the same developers who made Eternal Sonata, but was published in America by xSeed).

Macbat 64 is a low poly 3D Platformer and 4:3 loveletter to the late 90s.

It's ironic that the games it takes most of its cues from (Rare) offered widescreen support. Looks cute.

 

[Ascheroth]

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now only 2 Nightmare runs remaining, but the most difficult one is done.
It sucks that Yunica devolves to fire-skill spamming in late game :/
I don't know what it is about Ys games, I usually am not much of a replay and highest difficulty person, but I could do this every day with Ys.

Spoiler

This marks my 7th playthrough of Origin <.<

 

[PetriP-TNT]

More FMV games.

This looked sorta interesting.

Macbat at least nailed the style, which sorta makes it better than Yooka Leelee by default

 

[KainXVIII]

LMAO LEGO Worlds is R$129 in brazil fuck off warner

From 350&#8381; to whopping 1900&#8381; price increase in Russia lol

 

[Durante]

I played Torment: Tides of Numenera for 10 hours today. If you are at all interested in this type of game, I very much recommend it. It's not without flaws, but it's a very rare treat.

If they had hit a <64MB install it would have been the cherry on top.

 

[gelf]

goddamn Monthly games in regular bundles ;_;

I don't get this complaint, this is exactly what should happen. It would be really shitty of Humble if games which in previous years would have made it into regular bundles were suddenly only ever available through blind monthly buys.

 

[Mivey]

I played Torment: Tides of Numenera for 10 hours today. If you are at all interested in this type of game, I very much recommend it. It's not without flaws, but it's a very rare treat.

Does the text look weirdly blurry for you too? I am assuming this is a glitch on my end where the UI is not doing proper subpixel rendering. It's pretty much fixed if I downscale from 4K, but on 1080p it's very uncomfortable to look at.

 

[Eternia]

hmmmmm....and it would make sense to base it off the PS3 version since that version had the extra content and two more playable characters.......hmmmmm

And fixed economy I believe. The 360 version is so hilariously broken (among other things) that I still can't believe they actually released it in that state.

I play at native 2560x1440 and the text is fine. It's not as sharp as, say, Windows UI text, but I have no problems with it.

 

[Tizoc]

I must now plan for my 1,500th Steam game.

Is a pacifist run possible without some magician level cRPG knowledge?

 

[Hektor]

1. Play Nano
2. Pump all your points into INT
3. ???
4. You are god and can do whatever


Terribly balanced system

 

[Nzyme32]

Pillars of Eternity 2 looks nice

Despite how conservative Pillars was in terms of doing much boundlessly new, it certainly sticks in my mind as one of the most cozy and enjoyable CRPGs I've played through. So I am looking forward to it a lot.

Meanwhile I'm delaying playing most things while I gradually claw through Planescape Torment in preparation for Tides of Numenera.

 

[Press Turn]

Luckily Hugo Nightmare is free due to shield and range.

Spoiler

its basically Ys 2

I liked this game when it was released (but technically it was buggy mess)
