XSEED games have sold over a million* copies on steam!

* Number includes Ys I and II as separate entries, but they're sold as a pack-in.

Corpse Party lack of noise everywhere seems to correlate with the poor sales that show on steamspy, too :/

It's price protection since they've been essentially creating the same product for the last decade. Activision tries to push people towards their newest product by giving relatively absurd prices to their old games.

I picked Call of Duty 1 and Modern Warfare up when they hit $5 for the first time a couple years ago, it was a big deal at the time but those prices are still broken for games that old. Modern Warfare does not hold up at all by the way.

Best maps, though. Best. Maps.

Well they announced it really earlier, then went radio silent on it. Then released it basically out of no where.

Corpse Party is not the same as the Vita/3DS version. It has some really ugly art and simpler graphics so it's not surprising.

Never thought Bethesda would do the EA way, considering most of their recent games are very Steamworks-integrated. Maybe they want to do paid mods with their own terms?

Graphics are the same but voices and art are quite... different.
Hopefully somebody works on a mod for it and the game sells more once it goes on sale.

Why they didn't just save it for Halloween with a slight discount is beyond me.

I didn't even know it was released.

They still have Shinovi Versus, Little King's Story and Xanadu Next for this year. Well, supposedly. I imagine they wanted to stagger their releases a few months.

Can we talk about how bad blood drive is

Like the part where the nameless little girl wrote her name on someones eye (the cover for the game)
Later in the game, they come up with a name for her
Then way later, they look closely at the eye and realize it's her name, then they have an "oh god shes after you clearly" moment. That's what the writing on the eye meant.
However, the idiotic writers completely missed the fact that theres no logical reason someone can write their name BEFORE THEY HAVE A NAME


It's like me writing Soulflarz on a wall then people I don't know randomly name me Soulflarz and then you find evidence from before I knew you of the name Soulflarz.

It makes no sense and it a wonderful representation of how bad the writing is. It's more contrived than Sword Art Online.
 
That's still weak.

Weaaaaak. Even the spoiler is weak.
Cancelled that pre-order.

oh thank god someone who didn't fall for Blizzard's Dreamworks TF2, why are guys in body armor and gatling guns fighting borderlands enemies with exposed torsos or girls in high heels and skirts or a fucking tryhard cowboy with a belt buckle that says BAFM

I hate its tryhard art style

I'm going to be in the UK during the Steam sale, normally reside in Canada.

Will I be able to still buy games if I'm connected to WiFi in the UK or will Steam think I'm using a VPN?

Edit: WiFi on my phone, that is.

Ah, so they're just the publishers and didn't get to dictate what was what.

Hmm they acually put a ton of work in this release, but the reason I imagine they didn't include the option of PSP/3DS artwork and voices is because the developer of the PSP/3DS version is different from the PC version. With their past releases they did include some PSP/PS3 exclusive content like HD artwork, when possible.

Don't think it matters - you'll still have the Canadian steam store I believe.

So is it confirmed somewhere that Bethesda.net is going to become a launcher? I mean, it wouldn't be a surprise or anything I just hadn't seen anything yet definitively.

Alas spoiler tags don't work on Steam.


This just reminded me, did SteamGAF know that Valve removed the /emote command some years ago? One of my Steam buddies was heartbroken.

There we go, now I see why.
