The only thing that matters is Killer Instinct and if/how/when it comes to PC.



I think you're right -- most indie games and AAA games these days start on PC, and then loop in a console when they're approached or as it makes sense to do so. So MS properties seem like the most likely candidates to actually use the service.

KI is one thing that would be good with windows store. Let Xbox One owners purchases transfer between the two, plus support for 360 pads would probably bring in a lot of players. Seems to be a good bit of people who don't want to buy a X1 arcade stick at this point.

Why would you create this abomination?

Why?

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
From what I've seen, CE statuettes are almost invariably of poor quality.

Probably because they have to mass produce it. Then again, I'm wondering if it's a mold making issue more than anything.

I don't care where it is. I want to play it and I don't want to buy an X1 just for it. Buying a PS4 for Bloodborne (which was ruined for me and I still haven't played at this point) was worthwhile for a multitude of reasons... being that the X1 is the same age and still only has 1 game I'd give a damn about and I don't want to pay for an X1, X1 fight stick, KI (and all content), and a XBLG sub... yeah, no effin' thanks. Put it on the W10 store, put it on Steam (preferred, duh), just put it on PC.

Other than the fight stick issue, the Halo games are probably the same... you'll see MCC on W10 store before you'd ever see it on Steam. Especially if it works out to have crossplay through the Xbox app or whatever it is. Even gimped crossplay is still crossplay. :)

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

They don't bother putting too much detail into the molds because their main use is for people on 4chan to post gifs of themselves completing on top of them.

Hi guys, long time no see!
Last time I came here was during Christmas sales I think...
And I see Akiba's Trip will be finally out soon!
How are these NIS/XSEED PC ports usually? Should wait for a patch or two before getting it? Will my PC be enough for it?

All of XSEED's Steam releases to date haven't been full ports, they've been 1 programmer porting improvements from the PSP releases back into the PC version and then making sure said PC version runs on modern PCs. Akiba's Trip is different in that it's ported by the original devs, and I imagine it's not going to be a great port - it's already confirmed to be locked at 30fps

New expansion for BE, nice. Might finally pull the trigger, I tried it on free weekend before and not that impressed. Additional gameplay and factions are great, but hopefully they do something about the color tone that looks like a freaking moldy purple rock.

I still hope with additional time they somehow able to make it run at 60fps. It won't change my buying decision, but well...

They also should do something baout the boredom. I loved Civilisation IV and V and played them for hours and hours, but I barely made it through two games of BE. It was just boring after the novelty of the tech net faded. The victory conditions are boring, the AIs don't have a real personality (even when not based of something, they could've gotten some defining trait) and it was difficult to connect to anything. Sure, it's not based on anything, but they didn't even try to give us fluff except for the amazing intro sequence. I was missing the interesting quotes when finishing a new technology.

I regret to pre-ordering it and lie now in wait for at least two expansions. Not trusting them right now.

Yeah, I also feel the same after playing one game. I found it even more lacking than Civ V vanilla. The wonders aren't wondrous, the leaders looks aren't as dashing and charming as Civ V leaders (could because the humanity supposed to already have one dominant culture, all same, boring). And affinity based units actually result in THREE factions. And the tech web, it's damn confusing, the GUI (neon like it's 80s) made it even worse.

I like how there's no explanation of what the glasses are supposed to be for. Just... have some 3-D glasses! I'm sure you kids will find something to do with them.

I wonder if any teenagers tried to use them to watch scrambled channels. I mean, there's a sort of logic there if you think about.
 
Ok the previous giveaway was just a test run for the real deal:

I wonder if Steam will ever change the way the Queue works. As in, when I choose add to your wishlist/follow/not interested it'll automatically move to the next game rather than me having to click next in queue.
I'm just lazy, I know. I know.
