Isn't Natsume =/= Marvelous or something? Harvest Moon or Story of Season, I'm not sure what is what anymore, I don't follow 3DS games.

Natsume is making the one that's actually called "Harvest Moon" (the Lost Valley being their newest one.) It's not quite like the previous Harvest Moon games made by Marvelous - in fact, it seems to have taken Minecraft elements.

Marvelous is making Story of Seasons, which is more like the direct predecessor to the previous HM games.

Is Rune Factory a Natsume IP too?

Rune Factory 4 was made by Marvelous and published by XSEED, so that one's probably a no-go. The previous ones were published by Natsume, though, so....maybe?

Based on this yeah it's their IP.

But based on Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons fiasco that I red in some thread, it apparently different. Dunno.

So... what is the difference between Natsume and Marvelous? Hmm, I'm confused.

I thought it belongs to Marvelous, but not that I'm sure of it

Marvelous produces/publishes both Rune Factory and Harvest Moon in Japan.

Natsume currently holds the rights for the Harvest Moon name so the most recent game had to change its name to Story of Seasons.

Marvelous developed the games, Natsume translated them and published them in North America.

So, Natsume USA is like a splinter group of the parent company?
Natsume JP = Marvelous?

I can see the PC title as up-res of their 3DS Harvest Moon (not SoS). I hope it's good, but I don't know what to expect.

InfiniteNine said:
Yeah Natsume doesn't handle the real Harvest Moon games anymore since Marvelous is just localizing it themselves now sans the HM name.
Click to expand...

I see. At first I thought what kind of company could lose the right of name of their own product. Then I remember the JP name is different with US/EU name.
In short Natsume US is independent from Marvelous, right? May I ask what happened to Natsume JP? That Natsume kabukishi etc etc that I red in Wikipedia.

Btw, I just played Akiba's Trip again. And as expected, disabling Steam Overlay make the problems go. No more crash for me.

Performance still leave something to be desired, but going from 30fps to occasional 27fps doesn't really bothering me. Disabling AA and V-sync don't impact frame rates at all from my test.

Lol I didn't even understand what happened at first. I had 6 guys surrounding me. Then a guy head just exploded and I see an arrow right where his head used to be. I look behind him and I see an archer..

I was like "lol the Mr.Archer. Just for that, you'll get to die last."

I assume that's the point at which it'll pop up on Steam with a FoD sub. Glad I got my key.

Sony: "Our 1st party lineup a little sparse this year"; emphasis on 3rd party support

I guess that means more money for Jase to spend on Steam XD

Haha, well, I am going to slow down a bit for the time being and ignore stuff that's discounted by <50% unless the item is particularly cheap. No point buying such games/DLC/software now when they're going to be much cheaper in just a matter of weeks (#TeamJuly).

I know this is totally subjective, but for those who've progressed through more of the Witcher 3 than I have (I'm still early in Act(?) 1), does the combat become too trivialized?

I'm asking because I'm on the second-to-hardest difficulty and I have to approach every single fight like it's lethal, which it often can be. Packs of dogs included. I don't hate the difficulty but it slows me down from making real progress on story.

But I don't want to reduce the difficulty if it makes the fights like the second half of the Witcher 2, where I rarely felt like dying was an actual possibility.

E3 will come and go and nary a mention of the Last Guardian, IGN or some other doofus outfit will run another 'The Last Guardian is cancelled for reals this time' baseless article and Yosp will come out yet again saying it's still in development. And so continues the longest troll in history to the poor sods still hoping it sees the light of day.

Such a charming game and, IQ aside, it is performing pretty well for me.

Yes it's surprisingly fun. Isn't it depressing when you buy a game and you're surprised that you have actual fun with it? Combat and frequent loading screens are bothering me, but I starting to get the hang out of how to handle the former and quick travel works fine for the latter. Really digging characters and music. Still on the edge about Tohka and Kati though. They're both so cute.

Since howtobeat told me that a run only takes like 10 hours I will probably take a round through NG+.

That philosophy is always applicable, sir... not just because the Summer sale will be here in a month or so. :p

No. Sony just paid for temporary exclusivity.
Click to expand...

Sony still has console exclusivity, which is what Sony ultimately cares about, at the end of the day. People can't play No Man's Sky on Xbox, so it's something they can leverage to sway people in the market for a console to their side.

...2K took down Evolve's store page for some reason.

Edit: Oh, seems to be a result of the server issues as TW3 is gone now, too.

Apart from Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunters Reborn which is £10.99. Dinosaurs can't catch a break huh.

And lots of store pages redirect to the front store page so someone broke something.

True. I was just making it clear that it's not a first-party (or "second-party") game.
