Yes thank you. Its so stupid. They need to give us that option.

But Steam messaging work more like Yahoo Chat and less like Facebook messaging. It doesn't save your chat log past a certain point.

The Ivalice pack(Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy XII International) needs to happen. Some of the Tales, Persona, and the Kingdom Hearts games as well. That will satisfy most, I'd wager.

Edit: Oh, and let's not forget some of the Dragon Quest titles(VIII please) and Ni No Kuni.

Throw in MegaTen games in general and the rest of the FF games that aren't yet available on Steam, maybe some Breath of Fire games, and that's pretty acceptable.

I'd hope PC gamers would be receptive to Nocturne. Rather enjoyed that title and it's creepy vibes. It got way too tough from what I remember, and I never ended up finishing it. That was circa 2006.

I'm sure that Nocturne would have at least a decent sized audience on PC. But like thesaucetastic said, I expect that Atlus would focus on Persona first.

I still don't get why this FBI agent hates me so much in Alan Wake.
Click to expand...

There was a small book that came with my collector's edition that was pretty much about that exact relationship. I'm pretty sure that
something weird happened to him and his partner, much like the things going on in Bright Falls, and it eventually made him kind of crazy.

It's been a while since I've read it, but I believe that that was the gist of it. He
starts projecting his confusion and anger towards Alan, since he believes it's all due to his writing.

Knowing Squeenix, you'd get a direct phone port - synth music, no voice acting, landscape mode only,

That would be disappointing as all hell. I mean a port of the US PS2 version with scalable resolutions/smooth framerates would satisfy most. Then I could retire my PS2 copy.

Edit: lol at Engadget. Timely and precise.

Huh, so it was a mistake by some guy at Ubi. Well ok then. I guess it was obvious with the uPlay team's recent Steam-focused updates. Now can they start selling Steam codes through GMG and the like?

Lol at Engadget.

Man I keep switching back from OG Isaac to Rebirth Isaac and vice versa.

I need to play some other games before Isaac takes over my life.

The New Media style of reporting in effect folks! One giant long human centipede reguritating news from one to the next all the way down the chain.

Saying that when I worked in a new desk enviornment being sat in front of a PC spitting out press releases one after the other on various wires it easy to see how this habbit forms.

HOW IS VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 16 GIGABYTES!?

This is madness.
Click to expand...

Pfft 16 gigglybytes is nothing in this day and age. There are a lot of prerendered cutscenes mind. Actually 16 seems a bit small for full on high quality versions. Considering the PS3 version was 1280x720 I wouldn't be surprised if it was just them but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, muggins here forgot to download it after it got brought up here. I've got the audio files kicking around somewhere on a PC and if that fails my retail discs are somewhere.

How about Dead Space? Oh, wait. ;)
Click to expand...

You know, I've been meaning to revisit Dead Space. I played that Isaac to death on the 360 (100% all the cheevos too). I wanted to get a chance to play it during October but oh well...definitely would play again especially so I can go forward with Dead Space 2 (and maybe Dead Space 3, that is if I install Origin.)

Off topic, but god dang it Talos Principle has been ACRTAG...c'mon Devolver, I thought you were the cool guys. =[

you created a topic for a problem that doesnt exist. you took a risk on a obvious glitch, it didnt pa off. go ask valve for a refund on the dlc, the ACTUAL game was never discounted that much and you know it

the only reason we thought it was the full game is because we have the ability to mess / check the subs registry, whcih A) you have no business doing really and B) a normal costumer wouldnt do

Valkyria Chronicles, I'm excited.

Also the new Isaac is meh. Lost it's charm, lack of a good soundtrack, a extremely trolling game, invincibility frames removed. It turned from difficult but charming, to just annoying and tedious.

The thing is that cases like these are a legal grey area. At least in the case of Warlock 2 being revoked, it could be justified by saying that no money changed hands. With this, people paid money for a product. It may not necessarily have been what the developer wanted, but there was a monetary transaction.

It's not as simple as saying "go get a refund" because someone knowingly put it up for sale. At least the developer has owned up to it and promised a solution, but if they just told everyone to take it up with Valve, that would be pretty low.

What we should be discussing is how a publisher/developer has the right to revoke a product as they see fit.

It feels good to be going into VC mostly blind. Glad I skipped the PS3 release now.

I first saw VC way back when it released by a streamer. It looked awesome, but I only had a 360 at the time, and I never owned a PS3. Super excited for this.

If I'm reading that Steam Community topic correctly, someone changed the name after the fact to read "Special Edition Upgrade" instead of "Special Edition". Either way, it was an error on the part of the dev/publisher. I'm just glad they understand their mistake, although it never should have happened in the first place.

The best thing Steam could at the very least offer is a way to add optional titles to friend requests. That way users can at least see why someone is befriending them. In one example I've been trying to get in contact with a Steam user for something, and can gift them a game if they like, but they wouldn't know this by the friend request I've sent.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. I'm not worried about a $4 purchase (after having spent over $20,000 today - yikes) but for example, this is what shows up in my activity page:

Anyone who purchases this now, it would read "now owns Gold Rush! Anniversary Special Edition Upgrade"

Except (and I'm taking the word of PunishedSnake on this one), it wasn't labeled as DLC at the beginning, nor was it apparent on the purchase page people linked to earlier in this topic. Once word got out about the mix-up, they changed the language for the purchase page and (supposedly) added a "this is DLC" banner.

Not to mention that the database page was changed so that the Anniversary version was removed from the pack once the mistake was caught.

except it was labeled DLC, and this all started because someone in the steam thread said "guys the special edition DLC is also the full game lololol". the only part of wht you said that is correct is that before it was called "special edition" and now its called "special edition upgrade"

im done arguing about this tho, its too early and I havent had my coffee :p

edit: unless enhanced steam visually changes the layout of the store and somehow didnt show the dlc tab on it, that I cant tell you. I cant tell you that in the client, the vanilla ass client, it was dlc
