Yes, this game has very good monesation potential.

Game that amounts to a bullet-hell rogue like with emphasis on dodging, fast-paced action, and tons of enemies and bullets on screen?

I would argue that a high frame rate should be fundamental to the design.

im talking from experience tho. I played the game a lot

i'd be as cautious about it as you if I hadnt

Geralts final adventure is on my HD and math exam tommorrow. Yay.

Which means there's nothing left to fund? That any additional funds will go towards paying the devs industry average?

Im determined to finally beat KOTOR this summer after dropping the ball for one reason or another since it came out. The closest I came was a couple years ago when I needed to find one more star map but the disk was so damn scratched it wouldnt read. Wish me luck on the grinding steamgaf friends. At this point, 66% of the game is etched into my memory

Yeah it got on my nerves when I was first playing it, but after about 20 hours of enjoying the game I made peace with myself.

... aaaaaaaaaaand we're done

When did this get announced AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funded.

It's one of those things where the design is made objectively worse by the exclusion of high-framerates. Nuclear Throne, Hyper Light Drifter,

Bloodborne

, etc would be better games at higher frame rates.

Check out the mods, there are some solid graphical updates to the textures, lightsabres, and UI.

I'm slowly getting used to it, but it feels like Stockholm syndrome.

 

[Tizoc]

It was inevitable...


From the Bloodstained thread obvs.

Bad use of grammar and/or pronoun. Back in the day Konami was one of the best game developers, and were the company that even let Iga create or ingrain the genre into the gaming medium.
That line is dumb and and is a disgrace for the good old Konami that gave as some of the best franchises in gaming.

 

[Dio Brando]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand bought a new monitor. An Asus VS239H-P, to be precise. now the waiting games starts. Hoping it arrives this week.

 

[rtcn63]

They should kickstart a 3D Castlevania and call it Dark Souls 3.

In this case/the image it used in, it's use is improper and makes it a stupid joke.

It still bothers me... not as much as it bothers me with Hyper Light Drifter and its platforming and the need for tight controls for dashing around enemies. I can't get started on that game.

That's some Kotaku/Polygon level click bait, what happened to RockPaperShotgun?

 

[Momentary]

Just want to say that Windows 10 is awesome. I can't go back to 8.1.

 

[Majukun]

gog galaxy is garbage...tried to pre-load witcher 3..got to aroun 70%,then got a connection problem and my only possible choice was to uninstall what i already downloaded and start over..and now every 10 minutes it gives me connection problem AGAIN.
also..how much GB i should have when downloading from gog galaxy?dows it work like on steam where it doesn't take extra space with the installer,or i have to reserve space for both the installer and then the game?
i have 46 gb free on my ssd

Do you any good source for detailed impressions?

Don't use the Nvidia beta drivers though. I was getting frequent crashes in GTAV and Killing Floor 2 due to updating to the Windows 10 drivers.

 

[Lomax]

It's a good and interesting article that is well written. Throwing around the word "clickbait" implies that the article either isn't at all about what the title is, or has no merit, neither of which is true, regardless of whether or not you agree with the premise.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Ah crap Harmony of Despair is on offer on PSN. Why on earth Konami never looked towards PC sooner I'll never know and now they seemly can't be fucked with anything that doesn't fire metal balls round a small table.

Just want to say that Windows 10 is awesome. I can't go back to 8.1.

For me it wasn't until I went back that I started to miss the refinements. In some games like Watch Dogs and Dragon Age Inquisition it's even slightly better performance wise than 8.1.

 

[Miguel81]

Just want to say that Windows 10 is awesome. I can't go back to 8.1.

I'm thinking of giving it a go just for the fact that Project CARS performs better(AMD here). Otherwise, I'd just wait it out till official release.

Half-Life killed the FPS? Come on. Are they pathological liars?

 

[derExperte]

Don't know if HL killed the genre but it sure is dead compared to the late 90s.

Any of you folks watching the Bloodstained stream. Did I just hear that the peeps at Chair want Shadow Complex on other platforms?

Only fucking 6 years and counting bloody late! I suppose all that Orson Scott Card kerfuffle has died down somewhat though.

 

[PandaPedinte]

You talk like this thread, GAF, and the Internet aren't filled with stupid jokes beyond count.

People still care about Shadow Complex? That game, for some reason I cannot understand, seems to be remembered as some sort of masterpiece. While it was a solid game overall, it was also not anywhere near the level of greatness the internet has seeming foist upon it.

Grandia II's coming to Steam

hmm. it worked.

 

[Rhaknar]

Grandia II's coming to Steam

holy shit?

 

[YianGaruga]

Wow that was fast. Although I would have preferred the first Grandia, a good version of Grandia II isn't bad either

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well it was (technically still is) listed on a Unreal Engine promotional site as coming to PC but never materialised.

Oh by today's standards controls are a little rough, aesthetics are a tad bland and the plot is eh but it's one of the few metroidvania's where speedruns and sequence breaking is designed into the game instead of glitching it. I must have beat it 10+ times.

Nibel just tweeted out the same thing. We've been waiting years for this.

Grandia II's coming to Steam

Interesting.

 

[the_firewithin]

Why Grandia 2 and not the first :

too technical?

Spoiler

am I doing it right?

 

[didamangi]

Wow that was fast. Although I would have preferred the first Grandia, a good version of Grandia II isn't bad either

Probably because there was already a PC version. It's a re-release, right? If they added custom/widescreen resolution out of the box, I'll bite.

And hopefully a good sale on this will convince them to port the other games as well.

edit: Oh, it's a remastered. Nice.

 

[KenOD]

Grandia II's coming to Steam

"remastered using the game's Dreamcast version" . That's all I needed to know. Time to celebrate.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Grandia II's coming to Steam

In addition to an HD visual upgrade, Grandia II on Steam will have both mouse and keyboard and gamepad support as well as Steam achievements and Trading Cards.

Will probably buy. Was always a game I was itching to play back in day. When I would browse gaming magazine's and see the DC exclusives.

Why Grandia 2 and not the first :

Honestly I think they're playing it smart. Grandia 2 is the one everyone talks about so it would make sense to bring it first.
That way if it does well enough they can look at doing the PSX or other versions. Kind of like how Square started with FF7 rather than FF1 and then complaing about low sales or something.
A popular title right out the gate is the best way to really judge whats there.

 

[Miguel81]

Grandia II's coming to Steam

Nice! This is a good start. Glad I held off on grabbing the boxed version.

 

[Turfster]

I still have my grandia II cds from the Ubisoft(!) published PC release.

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

Grandia II's coming to Steam

Excellent!

I would really love the first one too...

Spoiler

it's the better game

oh lol

Halo isn't even mentioned, that's crazy considering how influential it was in that same time period.

 

[Chariot]

I was close to buying Grandia II once and I am close yet again. But first I have to know, what is the waifu value of this game? On a scale from John McCain to Hisa Takei.
