Arthea alert, this is a game made by devs of Ichi.
You know, that puzzle game you didn't knew you wanted before now?
This game:

funny that you mention it, I thought about playing Ichi just couple of days ago. I have it for a longest time, just somehow never get around to playing it.

edited: btw, I got invite to Galaxy alpha too, somehow missed e-mail, haven't tried it yet, though

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“The game will be sold for $14.99 USD during the early access period.”

That doesn't answer the question.

Edit: It's free on other platforms, so perhaps the answer is supposed to imply that it won't have a price after it leaves Early Access.

wait... it will be f2p?
hype dead, it can stay in EA forever if that's the case.

edited: how can it be free on other platforms if it's not a finnish game again?
totally confused now

edit2: decided to read myself, the game is finished, I really really didn't like
The game is fully playable, but we're ironing out prices of purchases.

so, microtransactions the game? Or isn't it?

Ugh, I hope not. I don't want F2P gameplay (stamina meter and premium currency) in my Animal Crossing.

Yeah, you can see a purchase screen in the trailer, plus there's unreleased DLC of some sort.

so much for this one.

pay to play is not going to go away, is it? I hoped it will, but it seems awfully resistant. I blame iOS and all who play those games.

I don't know, as I'm not using facebook either, but if that's the case I blame it too.

do we believe this?

edited: I mean if they removed all limitations and microtransactions, why just not sell it, as devs usually do.

they might need that extra EA time to make it less grindy maybe? you know - since there won't be any microtransactions etc.

Just bought Higurashi from Mangagamer and they already had the Steam Key ready. It's nice to see that they understand how to do it right.

I wonder why Call of Duty: World at War is in the top 10 sellers. Black Ops II is up there as well, but that makes more sense.

Maybe someone can rationalize what is going on, I really know much about the series other than
Call of Duty 4 is overrated
. I'm picking up Call of Duty 2 right now to try to remedy that.
Click to expand...
You kinda had to be there when it hit to understand why people hold COD4 in such high regard.

I bought Skyrim V last week. I dunno if this is the right place to ask but can anyone recommend me the best mods to install?

tell me more! How much is it, linky and all that boring stuff
Click to expand...

It is 5,35$. You can buy it from their site here (direct link to the Higurashi page), though be advised that the weekly ranking bar on the right might contain risky covers (right now only the last one is a risky one), so don't scroll the page too much nor visit the main site as it can be NSFW (they had to remove the all ages version of the site because of the ESRB or something).

Yeah they'll sell them individually. It'll be 14 chapters in total, with the extras.

For a while now, many have wondered why Higurashi‘s release has been delayed, and today we’re excited to finally share that our acquisition of Higurashi Hou has been one of those reasons! This acquisition means that our upcoming release on Steam will be the definitive version of Higurashi both for Japan and the West! This also means that we’ll be releasing every single chapter of Higurashi contained in Hou: all four Question Arcs, all four Answer Arcs (Higurashi Kai), all three arcs of Higurashi Rei (which were previously never released in English!), Hinamizawa Teiryuujyo (the never-before-released original concept story for the Higurashi series), Higurashi Outbreak (a chapter formerly available only in drama CD format), and a brand-new arc exclusive to Higurashi Hou–the Kamikanshi Chapter. All 14 of these chapters will be released individually on Steam and our website as translation progresses.

What does this mean for the Steam version of Higurashi? It means a long list of new features will be included!

Options to switch between the new sprites and the old
New Higurashi Hou sprites will also be redone in the new sprite style
The BGM that were replaced in the initial release will be restored to the original versions
Options to switch between playing in English and Japanese on-the-fly

If all chapters cost as much as the first chapter then the total cost will be $74.9. Kinda expensive. I am going to wait a full game discount :p

Why isn't Singularity on the AU Steam store? :(

Had an urge to try it out and saw it happened to be 75% off at the moment. Is there any way I can get it at this price on my own without having somebody from the USA gifting?

So gifting from other regions is completely out of the question entirely now? That sucks if so.

Amazon are selling keys but are still at full price at the moment, I should be fine to redeem those if I decide to buy from there shouldn't I?

I was responding to the question of whether or not it's possible for you to buy the game at its current price without having it gifted. You can still have the game gifted to you in exchange for whatever provided it wasn't purchased in Eastern Europe, Central/South America, South-east Asia or Turkey.

Oh okay, thanks! What are the odds of me finding somebody willing to gift in exchange for the money in the next six hours before the deal ends? Is there a site anywhere dedicated to things like this? Never have been after a game not on the Australian store before.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
There was a greenlight game here. It's gone now.

I think Steam still needs a quality control over the games that are being offered in it's service. There are just too many crap games

Valve implemented Quality Control. It's being called Steam Reviews.
(works as well as episodic content for Half-Life did).
