Just beat Yaiba, thanks to a SteamGaffer having gifted it to me. Took me about 4 hours to beat it on easy. First off I want to say that it's no where near as bad as some reviews have made it out to be. I think die hard action game fans will have enjoyment with it, along with those who enjoy over the top action and crude humor. It's never related to Ninja Gaiden much overall, but the Ryu and Momiji appearances along with the fights help add some flare to it. It's a really odd game to place your finger on because it's all kinds of crazy however. Which kind of ruins the final boss to me. The game was already crazy and it then crosses the line where you just kind of question if it was really needed. Aside from that the boss fight can be a bit of a pain. Even on easy it took me 20 minutes to get to the last section and die. Only to have to redo all of it again for another 15-20 minutes. Really don't know who thought it was a good idea to have a multiple part boss always start from the beginning. I think Easy Mode for anyone who plays will offer more than enough challenge unless as I said before they're a die hard action game fan. Regardless I still enjoyed my time with it and if it's on sale in the $1-10 range there's fun to be had.

How can anyone say with a straight face that TitS isn't a niche title?

Arthea, please stop letting your fanboyism get in a way of logic.

It's a niche game in a niche series made by a niche developer in a niche genre released on a niche title by a niche publisher.

I really hope the XSEEDs incompetence in handling the series has not killed any chances of us getting further titles, but each decision they made regarding the series so far has not given me much confidence.

Yeah its Niche.
And maybe their mishandling of TitS SC and the announcement of Cold Steel NOT for PC (last I checked) killed the series on PC :/

Certainly a game I've been keeping an eye on a sale to try out. It just seems like one of those games most people hate that I'll end up liking.

listen to the mad man
I dislike the premise of mystery giveaways.

I can't enter them because I don't know if I already have the game, thereby stealing it from someone who deserves it, or it might be a game I wouldn't like, thereby stealing it from someone who appreciates it more.

while true, you also don't need to worry about this possibility; the giver didn't, after all.
 
because TitS is on PC? The Port should take less time than the translation.
TitS isn't Cold Steel. TitS already had a PC port to work with, it doesn't apply to Cold Steel.

because why not

Because there isn't a PC version for them to work on except the Chinese one by Joyoland, which would involve in more deals and probably isn't feasible for XSEED. Unless Falcom gives them the permission, they can't make one afaik

dang afterbirth is 12$! madness

No, this is Madness.

I sort of agree though. I paid $1 for the original Binding of Isaac, and 0.75 for the expansion years ago. I understand they added a bunch of content, and they deserve to get paid for that, but I can't justify paying $20 for the remake and new expansion. I'll probably buy them when they both go 75% off.

I really hope the XSEEDs incompetence in handling the series has not killed any chances of us getting further titles, but each decision they made regarding the series so far has not given me much confidence.

Honestly, I used to feel bad for XSEED because of the way people give them shit all the time over every little thing. But even I have to admit that they really screwed up the release of SC. You'd think that after the way Ark of Napishtim bombed, they would've learned from their mistakes and put a little more thought into this one. But no, they announced it a mere week in advance and launched the same day a sale started as well as right on the heels of a much higher profile JRPG release.

It really makes you wonder whether they have any idea what the hell they're doing. Just dropping something on Steam and hoping for the best really isn't a viable launch strategy these days. At this point, I'm just going to assume we're never seeing 3rd, Zero and Ao. Looking at SteamSpy numbers for SC makes me lose all the optimism I had. I'm just glad we finally got SC and that Cold Steel is coming at all...

Urgh these live action CoD trailers get worse every year

http://youtu.be/ejMqe1WBtEQ

Also you're slipping lashbot!

"Nah, its Kevin-Mode"

Somebody actually wrote that line, oh my.

I don't do mystery but you are different. You proved in the past of what quality material you are made. Thus I am certain you are "hiding" a nice surprise.

Feel the pressure yet?

The nice surprise comes soon™, you have to settle with something mediocre for now. :|

Still not the worst thing Michael B. Jordan has done this year.

But yeah, that trailer was bad. It was an interesting idea for a trailer like 5 years ago (ordinary-looking people on a battlefield set to a Rolling Stones song), but they just keep milking it for all it's worth.
