Time to bust out the 25% off coupons from AW that stack, if you got 'em. Well, you'd think it might go lower during the Autumn sale next week, but then again, since there's no dailies, I'm sure Devolver will dial it back to 25% off or something, so now may indeed be the time, gentlemen.

I don't know if there are different AW coupons but the one I got was 50% coupon. So 4.49€ final price. Good enough for me, although today is probably the worst day in the whole gaming year to get a new game to play.

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.
No achievements? Not much reason for me to double-dip at $60.

Yeah that's pretty weird, especially since earning the achievements on the console version provide in-game rewards - which I assume are here as well.

Finally, yeah, it's weird to see a list of things you can't do. But...can chocobo's name be changed on PS3? If so, it's strange a so simple thing doesn't carry on PC.
If not, why SE listed that here?

Anyway, are missing DLC from PS3 skins only or something more?

You can change the chocobo's name (there's only one chocobo you can ride) on the PS3 version. It's pretty significant.

The only DLC for Lightning Returns is garbs, but they aren't merely skins since they have gameplay-changing attributes and powers attached. A lot of them are probably skippable, but some of them (like Cloud's or Yuna's) are pretty strong and let you get out of relying on Soldier of Peace's artemis spam.

I understood nothing of what you told me (soldier of peace's artemis spam etc) but I believe you. How many of those are missing from PC version of the game?

As I pointed sometime ago, it's also strange seeing here FFX-X-2 assetts.
I said that, if those items would appear on PC version of the game, it could mean a port of FFX-X2 can happen, because Sony partially own FFX and X-2.
Let's see what will happen.

Well shit.
I was planning on getting the PS4 version on Black Friday but now I don't know :x

Soldier of Peace is one of the garbs in the game, and it has an ability (Artemis Arrow's or something) that does an incredible amount of damage. Generally, most fights turn into debuff enemy -> overclock -> spam artemis until enemy dies. Having access to DLC outfits at least let you spam something else, because Soldier of Peace is ugly as hell and the only outfit in the game you can't change the (ugly) colors of.

No idea how much DLC isn't available. It's just pretty lame that it all isn't.

For what it's worth, we're discussing Lightning Returns here so I think you're confused.

If you're thinking of Dragon Quest Heroes, the PS4 version is solid. The PC version performance is a big unknown.
 
Day 0 for Lightning Returns. Hopefully I'll be done with XIII-2 before the release.

Saw this though :

The "FFVII Aerith" schemata is not included in this pack. Furthermore, there are no plans to make this schemata available in future.

Uh. What? Why?
 
The missing FFXIII-3 outfits are probably due to licensing issues.
Well, the FF7 one being gone doesn't make any sense. Guess I'll just chalk it up to Square-Enix having a laugh.

Also I'm just going to wait and get DQ:Heroes along with a PS4. Not investing a dime into Tecmo-Koei's PC "efforts".

No Bethesda called them press sneak fucks in the past. That's the joke, Jschreier tag is even that.

oh i c

i see kotaku as the better examples of gaming press tbh

not that there's much competition but kotaku's been a lot better in my eyes since crescente left since i think that guy's influence was really bad

I know exactly what you're talking about.
He said that FFX/X-2 were partially owned by Sony and by Yunas costume being in the PC version of this then it means theres some chance of FFXHD coming to PC.
Now that I think about it was the Yuna costume of the 360 version? If so then this doesn't mean anything
 
PC games are for pedophiles. Please understand.

Notes:
This version of the game has had no changes or additions made to the story of the original LIGHTNING RETURNS FINAL FANTASY XIII.
This game does not support Dolby Digital sound.
This version of the game includes some of the downloadable content released for the original.
The bonus items originally awarded for having save data from previous games in the series will be awarded in this version regardless of whether there is suitable save data present or not.
Includes no functionality linked to Square Enix Members or social networking sites.
It is not possible to change the names assigned to chocobos, map markers or schemata.

No fucks given. Please understand.

Ah okay sorry then. :)

Jumping to the conclusion that FFXHD is coming to PC based solely on the fact that a new game includes an outfit from the previous is a bit of a stretch though. It might happen, but we've been told countless times that there are no plans. Of course after this year's PC port renaissance anything is possible.

$16 on GMG (officially sourced!) after coupon JERRYN-EUTRON-GAMING

So I can excuse the fact that it's a lazy port for that price

He's new here... he's not used to the frequent use of the "Jumping to Conclusions" mat.

They also said Type-0 HD wasn't happening earlier this year.

Also, the Yuna outfit is on 360 so I don't think this means anything.

13 Had an ok story and was really a slog through most of the game, but the gameplay/battle system is pretty neat and actually didn't get stale over 40-50hours.

13-2 shits on 13 from great heights so far. I'm about 16 hours in and the story is utter shit, but the battle system / monster hunting aspect is really enjoyable. It also has less characters I want to punch in the throat.

no 1000 year old dragon nonsense, just usual FF characters.
