Not even kidding you, there are even ten second bursts after you kill certain enemies where it drops below 10 fps, if not completely freezing for a few seconds. It is the worst performing game I've ever played. I started one of the side missions back up the other day after not playing for a few months and suddenly remembered the horror.

Yeah Drakengard 3 performance is awful. Sometimes it slows to a crawl when nothing much is even happening.

It really killed the kind of gameplay they were going for in some places.

Between that and finding the dialogue kind of childish I just kind of gave up on the game.

steam peak 9,280,165 o_O

Yeah that is a bit weird. Omitting that weird spike, the day peaked at 7.9 million which is pretty crazy. I guess all a part of the Halloween sale, which I thought usually is a lot quieter. Curious to see the numbers for later in the year

I'd buy the fuck out out of papa and brother Nier Square-enix.

Just don't fucking region lock that shit like konami and sega do.

Valve should totally organize an annual Steam day with special items/discounts to up the concurrent players every year.

Hell, just giving out a badge would probably do it for a lot of people.

I just paid for a Halloween 14 bundle from IndieGala. Yet I didn't receive a key or anything in my email. what the heck.

If you've bought from them before you should have a profile page, and there would be a list of all the bundles you've bought. If not, then perhaps your order didn't go through unless you were actually charged.

Halloween is done. They stopped giving keys yesterday.
Wow really? then why would they still have it listed on their website? My paypal was definitely charged $3.50

Yeah I do have a profile page, but the bundle didn't show up on there either.

I haven't played a COD since MW2 but for some reason I have this urge to just buy the new one without knowing much about it.

Unrelated, but a friend posted on Facebook a picture of an anteater and I suddenly realized that your nickname is not a series of mispelling for "a theater".

I registered with the name anteater because i thought that dude authorizing the emails was going by alphabetically order, still took like a fucking year.

its fine when its nintendo games tho right?

man i haven't posted in a nintendo thread in a decade

I know this is a short and relatively easy game, but it's my first 100%. Enjoyed it a lot, didn't use any hints just a lot of trial and error. Was kind of short, but totally worth the tod.

Well time to buy it for Infinite. edit. Not showing so cheaply for me.

Yeah, I was just talking about the Hexcells Bundle (Hexcells + Plus). It's the best value for most people, and will keep 'em busy until Infinite is properly discounted.
 
$2.49 for the Hexcells Bundle is a hell of a deal.

Yeah it is. Thanks again peakish for giving it away. Just spent 35 minutes with the first one and it's great. Wonderful music and just the right amount of puzzle thinking this time at night.

When I have the money I'm going to buy Hexcells Infinite.

i'd really like to play as brother nier

i'm surprised they actually went through the trouble changing it for the english version
daddy nier works pretty ok anyways

but yeah after getting all the endings once i don't think would bother with it again unless i can play as nii-chan nier :p

i already got all the endings in drakengard, i can endure tedium but still
 
I guess I'll buy the Hexcells bundle.

Jokes aside, if puzzle games are your cup of tea, you're in for a treat.

Play the first one first, that's a sort of tutorial for Hexcells Plus.

Only downside, the second one could do with a sort of save feature, since the levels take a lot of time.

the subtle 1 liner romance dialogue between nier and kaine towards the end might be a little bit less weird though

just a little bit
