So, it turns out the drops won't be entirely cosmetic:

"All of the content added in Trading Floor at launch will be cosmetic only and not affect gameplay in any way. In the future we may be adding weapons with new gameplay for sale, but this will appear in the “Shared Content” area on the server."

This part isn't okay, I feel. The weapon selection in KF2 already feels anemic and lacking, so holding sidegrades off as crate drops feels like extremely poor form.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Would you pay $50 for a book?
How much does "A Dance With Dragons" go for? That has comparable wordcount, doesn't it? $7, give or take a few cents...

I mean there's a tad more work than that but for the US, 50 for a older VN seems like pushing it to me. 39.99 to me is the safer price.

 

[Sch1sm]

so $21 in brazil?? ehhh still too high for me

...Would buy at that price considering content.

The sad thing is that I can't even decide which screenshot in particular you are talking about.

Decided to fund the Battletech KS (second-chance backer) at the $85 tier. I've always been a sucker for decorative items for bases.

That depends on the books, and in Clannad's case there's a bit more to it, since there are choices, multiple different routes, endings, an after-story, and a soundtrack, pictures, etc. The soundtrack I also will mention is also quite good, really.

I know what is trying to be said, and I do think it's a bit overpriced, but I also understand that Key has made a name for itself over time and many people know Clannad, it's literally one of the most well-regarded visual novels of all time and one of the longest, so I also kind of understand I guess.

Aren't the prices of this autumn sale and then winter sale going to be identical? Usually, the prices carried over but different games were featured. Now it isn't going to matter since there is one discount active throughout.

Might as well shop this sale

dascu straight up said that malebolgia will be 50% in autumn and 75% in winter

take that as u will

HBAO+ is great. Pity the game has no true SP component.

Yeah, that Valve is allowing different discounts this time around has me wondering if I'll bother buying anything at all during the Autumn Sale. Might as well just wait a few more weeks and potentially save a few bucks.

How good are Sekai Project's translations anyway? I think I only touched the Nekopara demo from them, and goddamn, that was amateur hour. I hope that doesn't represent their usual work.

That's the thing, only other game I know they did, "If My Heart Had Wings" certainly doesn't read like something a professional company ought to put out.

Not like they didn't lock out better weapons with a paywall before. At least this way you could get them for free I guess.

Also means more market money for me so eh

I just assumed Clannad is using a touched up fan-translation. It'd be crazy of them to retranslate all of it when it's already done.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

It also wasn't very acceptable then, but users didn't have as many ways to support them at that point. If you're running a thriving skin market, there's no reason to lock game changing weaponry behind a paywall of any kind. Don't get in the way of your players!

SP has nothing to do with that game. That was MoeNovel.

From their Kickstarter FAQ:

What about the current CLANNAD fan translation?
After much debate and consideration, we have decided to re-translate the game in order to provide the best possible translation for CLANNAD! The team of translators we have hired to work on CLANNAD are industry veterans who have worked on many titles such as the hit series Attack on Titan's manga and light novel.

 

[The Dear Leader]

So where do I get these movies?

Windows Store on Windows 10.

Win10 Store, but only if you're american. Second Tier EU Scum has to miss out.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Those Windows 10 deals on movies are for rentals so you won't be buying any movies that low

Their translations generally haven't been good. WEE, Nekopara, and Fault have had problems. Clannad's is up in the air given how quickly it was done, they seem to have just thrown a ton of bodies at it.

 

[Jazz573]

From their Kickstarter FAQ:

It was actually not a very good translation, that's why they retranslated it.

You can watch all 4 Jurassic Park films now.

[Chance Hale]

Is Clannard actually well put together outside of animu weeabus? Art style is off putting enough to make me want to completely ignore it.

How is the writing of the original Japanese version?

So, after all the price discussion, this is how Clannad has started off on Steam:

Has any VN been this high in the top sellers before?

No. I think the previous highest was the first Nekopara, and that didn't hit top 4.

Why is Oddworld listed under popular new releases btw?

 

[Jawmuncher]

NVM I'm gonna check

 

[Drakhyrr]

Just in to say I've finished New Vegas, after 98 hours. That makes it two GOATs I've played this year, along with The Witcher 3.

Now to stay away from anything open world for a good while and play something different.

 

[Jazz573]

Regular price is $54.99 CDN (~$41.13 USD) with sale it's $46.74 CDN (~$34.96 USD). Pretty cheap. Maybe I should buy it.

 

[Messiah]

Why is Oddworld listed under popular new releases btw?

They released the OST on Steam.

 

[Shantom]

Chariot is as well, and both of those games released DLC today, so I guess it's an odd bug where Steam is picking up the DLC release date instead of the game's.

Clannad has a streaming policy where you're only allowed to stream the first three hours of the game. Some folks are upset by this but I can see why the developers would want to do this. Unlike other games, there is no gameplay or agency in a visual novel so watching it in it's entirety in a Let's Play would probably make purchasing it redundant. In the other hand, streamers can boost sales of obscure titles by quite a bit. It's a tricky situation.

Anyway the game is pretty cheap in my store so I'll pick it up there and sell my Kickstarter key. Figured I'd ask here first before putting it on the BST thread tomorrow. If anyone wants it for $30 (plus Paypal fees) just drop me a PM.

On another note, I don't know how people are flying through Fallout 4. I played today for a couple of hours and only managed to get two quests done. I have friends who have already put in 50 hours into the game and have cleared all the quests they could find. I'm not even playing at a very high difficulty. Makes me feel I'm just slow in my old age

 

[Jazz573]

Also, for anyone who wants to stream it, you're only allowed to stream the first 3 hours.

It's Sekai Project. I don't think they have the man power to stop people if they REALLY wanted to stream more than 3 hours.
Especially if you're not streaming on twitch. Good luck enforcing the rule on Hitbox or Livestream.

Key ia the one who decided the restriction. I would bet Key probably has good lawyers. Well VisualArt's, not Key. I just think VA would because they're probably one of the largest VN companies with a large amount of brands.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect them to do much more than get youtube archives taken down. Other VNs have had similar restrictions on streaming and they weren't enforced all that well.

Yes. It's pretty much guaranteed to be at least 33% off on Wednesday for the Autumn sale.
