I still enjoyed XIII-2 but it's good to hear that at least LR isn't the worst out of the three. Makes me look forward to it a little more.



Yeah, that's the main reason why I don't understand how people could possibly consider it superior. It's pretty much just assets from the original game stitched together in service to a completely nonsensical plot.

FFXIII is just so much more polished it's not even funny. Kinda makes XIII-2 look like a budget title by comparison. Which I guess it technically probably is, given the amount of recycled assets it uses.

Well I don't know if you will like it. LR is even more of a budget title than XIII-2 and the story doesn't even try to make any sense anymore.

What it has going for it is a fun battle system and some challenging bossfights. I'm not even sure why I liked the game as much as I did if I am honest.
I guess I am just a sucker for dress up games(98% of the costumes are horrible though).

Did I miss something? When did the prices disappear from the wishlist? Am I having a glitch, or is this really a thing?

I certainly hope it's just a glitch.

Noticed the same. Its been that way for about 6 hours at least. I thought having 500+ games on my whislist was too much for Enhanced Steam. Valve probably changed something.

I guess I'll find out when it comes out. It's not like I didn't enjoy XIII-2, those were just the main reasons why I didn't like it as much as XIII. At this point there's no reason for me not to see the trilogy through to the end.

For you.
I'll be pissed if LR doesn't come to steam. It's the only one I actually want to play since i have beaten the others.

Why wouldn't it though? I know that XIII-2 didn't exactly sell great but they definitely started working on the port, and they need the port to make it available on their mobile streaming service anyhow. So not putting it on Steam wouldn't make any sense at all.

Just they said this summer yet it's been very quiet. Then again FF7 for PS4 is this summer and nothing has been said about that either.

LR was released not too long ago.

Wait, so D4 is just a QTE game? At least that's how the trailers make it look.

I mean, I know people were more excited for Swery craziness than they were for the actual gameplay (it's not like Deadly Premonition was known for amazing gameplay). Still, I'm disappointed after all the hype that it's coming to PC that that's what it turned out to be.

It's still good it's coming though for those that want to play it.

Nice, seems like they put a lot of work in the PC version. I'm gonna get it, even if I don't know when I'll be able to play it since Geralt's adventures are taking up all of my spare time (and more)

Telltale games have a lot of problems, but aside from the inexcusable save import bugs, the worst thing in those games is the awful QTEs. And not just because they are QTEs; Telltale is just really bad at designing action sequences, and the awful engine and terrible framerate only exacerbate the situation. They would be much better off just sticking to story and forgetting about "action".

Edit: Granted I've only played Wakling Dead season 1.

Well, it was a kinect game, so...
Also something something Japanese game something.

Still, looking forward to it.

Yeah, I was expecting there to be QTEs, and the gameplay to be somewhat shallow on account of the Kinect. I just wasn't expecting the gameplay trailer to be nothing but 2 minutes of QTEs. I was just hoping there was a little more there. And maybe there is and they just aren't showing it off, but it doesn't look good from what they are showing.

Still, can't really complain too much about niche Japanese games making their way to Steam.

This is cool and all, but I still probably won't play the game.

Not trying to shit on the game or anything. Just a little disappointed that it doesn't look like something I want to play.

If Swery made a movie I would totally watch it though.

Er... couldn't that be construed as a spoiler? I know you're really enthusiastic when it comes to the game, but you may want to stick the particular OT.

uhh

I guess

"people come back" is pretty broad, some of them were even in the first trailers

sorry tho
