I doubt Shovel Knight will be bundled already, YatchClub was pretty clear about their discount policy, so giving it in a bundle seems strange to me.

Man, from the amount of all the stuff in Black Ops 3 this time around, I may actually have to buy this one and give it a look! =/
Usually my father buys CoD every year but he (somehow) doesn't like the Black Ops series so I may have to bite the bullet and buy it.
XD
I played them all for the first time about a year ago and I can't argue, they've got great story and writing but man they have not aged well at all!

My desk just cut me. I think it's a sign.
The end is nigh. Buy everything while you still can.

I'm not sure I would call a larger Call of Duty community a good thing lol.

It means there are a lot more shitty players to steamroll.

Is the DLC for DMC worth it? I'll probably start playing it soon so I'm legit interested.

I don't like sports games either but I just got Rocket League 2 days ago and I love it. Great fun.

It also means more shitty players on your team.

Its pretty easy to measure without tools actually, the standard ratio of frames to cinematicness is 1:1 or 30FPS to 30 Cinematicness, and for every tad of cinematicness more you have one frame less.

There are always shitty players on your team no matter what the community size is. I have studied this over the past 3 years in Black Ops 2 on PC.

About Trails SC...I feel that people who are put off by the additional $10 price have no excuse :v
You're getting more content and bonuses that normally isn't available (more playable characters) along with HD sprites and other updated content.
Also, the game is quite long and well worth the dollar. 60~80 hours is just the normal time to finish one run of the game.
I just finished chapter one and all the scenes are great so far.
Chapter 1 ended on a really high note for me, and the side quests have been entertaining in their own right except for the kill 'x' monster ones.

Yes and no. I mean there's shitty and there's shitty. Hell, even in a not-so-serious game like TF2, when I first started I was the shitty one, but the other players were good about getting me to improve...because it's in their best interests that the players improve. Then I improved, and I helped out shitty players. And things were good.
Then it went free-to-play.
Now you get players who are shitty AND who don't listen. Like they play engineer, park their ass in the intel room and then try to trade in chat.

Are we talking about the SteamSpy Sales for Trails in the Sky SC? They don't look all that bad. Especially not for a niche title that basically had a stealth release and most people weren't ready for. If anything I think the stealth release approach for these sort of games aren't the best thing. Didn't really help out Ys: The Ark of Naphitsim either. Much like a lot of Xseed's stuff it's gonna be a slow burn, but i'm sure they're still happy with it. Would be more interesting to compare to the PlayStation sales.

I'm not handicapped but I can only imagine being difficult to play games with one hand. Very sure people would appreciate a curator for that.
Quick question. Is playing with the keyboard totally out of question for you (not in tandem with mouse obviously)?
That guy is incredible. Had some good laughs.
But Half-Life is about good and fun single-player campaigns. What does Rockstar have even remotely to do with that? /sFrom the Screenshot thread ;
Looks like Rockstar could make HL3 if Valve won't do it

looks great
probably, yeah

Halfway through, Human Resource Machine is becoming rather hard and i dont know if i'll continue. While i enjoy the programming puzzles, im kinda disappointed that its really just that. The presentation is cute, but there is no story or humor like in Little inferno so far, i feel i could just as well play with an assembly tutorial on the internet, which would serve a bigger use since that would be closer to the real thing in terms of code.
Some people think thats its only going to unlock once all nukes globally are dismantled, but no one knows for sure, at least not last time i checked.

part of me wants to get Black Ops III on PC...the other part of me wants to wait and see how it turns out and the benchmarks
the waiting part of me will win out (not having the money right now to afford it also plays into that)

Yeah but users have no way to check total nukes on each platform. The nuke tab is also bugged, since it shows both people with nukes and without.

I saw a tweet from someone at XSEED who was fairly disappointed that it dropped out of the top sellers list within a day of it's release.
I'm pretty sure they expected more after all the anticipation.

The window for release just wasn't a good place to be.

Yeah, October was totally packed with RPGs. PC gamers, especially RPG fans, are still busy with Hearts of Stone, Wasteland 2, Age of Decadance, Divinity, Zestiria, etc. And if we want to add non-steam factors, there are lots of mmorpgs taking place in October. Tree of Savior, Blade & Soul, Guild Wars 2 are some of the most popular examples.
That seems to be the factor. FC has about 130k owners while SC only has 3k so far. NeptuniaV, the game that was released after SC, has already surpassed SC with 5k owners for comparison.
For DmC Vergil's downfall is worth playing through if you like the combat enough, although he's a bit OP and the bosses are still subpar like the main game.
Nothing for DMC4SE, they're all unlockables that are in the game and the preorder costumes.

I don't think that's a fair comparison as Trails in the Sky SC was released on PSN/GOG/Steam simultaneously.
only Trails is not niche, it's as straightforward mainstream JRPG as those get, no lewd fanservice, no quirky obscure game mechanics you have to learn, it has literally nothing that counts as niche as in "only for a small group of people with particular taste", if anything Tales is much more niche, not to mention IF games.
Trails being localization of old games may have something to do with this perception, true, but other than that. *shrugs*
not talking about sales this week, as I promised no doom and gloom posts
but as per munchies suggestion, that it still will be worth for Xseed, not in SC case it won't be, it has to sell good for them to have been worth, I'm not pretending I know how much exactly but I have my suspicions.

I think the point is more so sales comparison just on steam.
Arthea I know you love trails but it's still a niche JRPG in the west. You can't argue it in terms of sales which is what I'm referring to. Not mechanics or anything else.
It's hard to tell you anything when you aren't known for reading, you know
kindly explain me what you think niche means, because I'm sure you have in mind some other word.

Not to mention some of the big releases hitting in early November. I could only swing one big game for the rest of the year, had to be Fallout because it guarantees me the most playtime.
I'm sure in the long run it will sell well enough, but the release timing was just bad, at least on PC.
The lack of a first week discount really hurt its sales. I got my money today so I bought it along with a bunch of other cheap shit but I can see how the cheap Steam bastards would be put off by that price, even if I agree with you.

Actual Definition
"a specialized but profitable corner of the market."
Or is Trails on par with final fantasy and Eder Scrolls? Hell most JRPGs on steam are niche. Including Neptunia. They're profitable with their JRPG fans group.
Which is why I added that it's not a fair comparison
I mean yes and no. This is the steam thread so those are the sales were gonna focus on. Though on the other hand I agree would be nice if we knew the entire total across all 3. But still Neptunia beating it out on steam I think is what was the main point. Though granted that is a far cheaper price.
