For you.
See that's what happens if Japanese videogames are put on Steam.

Young, impressionable GAF posters can't handle it and lose their fucking minds.

Actually, it's a Russian game.
 
November is almost over and still no Steamworks update for Dark Souls. They said somewhen in November. Do they intend to release it on the 30th?

Looking at the changes on steamdb, I suspect it's very close.

Did anyone follow the Ace Combat migration back when it happened? Since they now have 4 branches up there, I'm wondering if Ace Combat was the same. I'm guessing that the hybrid branch is specifically built for save etc migration since its description is g4wl + patch.

This wait is killing me..

Oh damn... I didn't have problems with the English in Everlasting Summer but I just saw 6 pretty bad mistakes in a minute just now.
I think the translator was tired when he was doing that part =/
It was OK up to now.
 
Wait is this real? They're going to add achievements?

As dumb as it might sound, achievements could bring me back to playing Terraria.

I would go back to Terraria thanks to achievements but I don't mind an overhaul in graphics too. BTW, anyone saw how would Minecraft look in realistic graphics? Very creepy: http://www.vg247.com/2014/11/18/this-is-how-minecraft-looks-with-realistic-graphics-and-animations/

One question though: why isn't Minecraft on Steam? Now it is on all platforms and the last one was the Vita even after Microsoft bought Mojang. Does Notch have problems with Valve?

It's been mentioned multiple times. The upcoming 1.3 patch seems like it'll add achievements, and of course Steamworks, for Terraria.

i still don't understand that sentence but ok

i'm actually mod of a forum i share with 2 friends where we post random game design stuff

but we don't have tag tech tho :/

The joke is that Gaf mods can ban people, and that it acts as a tag, like junior member.

Minecraft is a massive hit, so why would Mojang sell the game through Steam and pay Valve a 30% cut when they can sell it through their own website and get 100% of the profits.

If you were a mod on GAF, the only tag you can give anyone is the "Banned" tag.

But he sells it on iOS, Android, PS3/PS4/PS Vita (PSN) and XBOX 360/Xbone (Xbox Live) and maybe more. I don't think he doesn't pay some royalties on that platforms or share profits with them. Why would Steam be different. I am just asking.

they're technically sandboxes, but with other modifiers

I guess so... but I don't like that... I was hoping they'd have their own sub-genre of sandbox or something... generally when I think "sandbox" I think of Rockstar games, Saints Row, Prototype, etc.

I think I might just go with "crafting" to fit in with my other "genre" type labels...

PC is the only platform where Mojang has complete control over their game and don't have to answer to a platform holder. Most indie games need the publicity boost of Steam to sell. That's not the case with Minecraft. That game sells like hotcakes on PC through their own store, so there's little to no incentive for Mojang to put the game on Steam.

Same thing with Blizzard. There's no incentive for them to put their games on Steam since their games are massively succesful on their own.

Minecraftian if you will.

Yes, they have a special genre. Like I said above: Terraria and Starbound are pixel deforming sandbox games, and Minecraft and Everquest Landmark are voxel deforming sandbox games.

Looks like Cherry Tree High Comedy Club got some kind of language patch.
Seems you can now pick if you want westernized localization or not.

By posting things contrary to the rules, you can get yourself banned. In effect, that will change a Junior Member/Member tag to Banned.

Because if you want to make more money by being on consoles, you need to go through the digital storefronts of Sony and Microsoft. There is no other way.

something something Microsoft though. I think we will definitely see a Steam release of Minecraft in 2015

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I wouldn't really be surprised at this point if Microsoft cobbles together some shambling Games For Windows 10 DirectX 12 Exclusive Live Apps Store abomination out of it's past failures and ties Minecraft to it.
 
I just wanna know. Taking screens of NSFW content in a game or forced added adult content via nude Patch on steam does it make you punished there? Do your screens automatically appear on the hub of the game or you have to post your screens there on the hub so everyone can see it? I don't know big things about that. What about putting that content to friends only or private?
