FF3 always looks tempting whenever I see it on sale.
But that final dungeon. Not worth it.

Every game on PS4 is 60fps, didn't you know? And if it isn't it's not optimized. Lazy devs.

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.
The PC version is not nearly as bad as the other iterations. If you ALT+F4 out of a battle before you are completely dead, you restart at the last doorway you went through. It's kind of like an "auto-save" system and it made the last dungeon actually enjoyable.

Oh? Hmm.
Might wait for a 75% off sale then. Of course I expect S-E to fix the game by then.

God damn, I've just beaten the Bayonetta 2 demo… What a game.
Such a shame I missed on the first print edition :/

There's still a chance, should you and your friends and everyone sign the Sega PC port petition going on...

Yeah, I heard about that... Hasn't anyone come up with a mod to allow quicksaves or something? Really sucks having to avoid this game because of that.
Edit:
Is that so? Interesting.

That's cheating!
Bayonetta 2 comes with a full version of Bayonetta 1, so there you go.

No, there isn't. Nintendo funded development, participated in development, and has the final say on where it will and won't be seen.

Sega seems apathetic on the series, declining to fund the sequel, so that seems unlikely as well.
Speaking of 30v60fps... Today, the OT taught me that 60fps porn is a thing. I don't think I have time for games anymore.
You know... They really should stack. I bet they could find a hell of a lot of angles for profit if they allowed people to chase down 5x20% to get a game for free.

They seem to be pretty apathetic with any of their Japanese games on PC.
I'm still amazed Binary Domain was on PC.
The cost of porting the original game to PC would be negligible compared to the cost of a sequel.
Sad. I wish Japanese developers were more interested in PC development.
There are a lot of Japanese games that could be ported. Not many happen.
At least they weren't all for Team Indie."Hello Pete"
"I want to play a game"
Well um okay Gaben
Praising intensifies.
fucking hell
Kurt Russell played that thick gung ho Americano-style to tee. That's good to know about the shadow map issue. I'll have to give more time to Alien tonight as I am also early in the game.
The aliasing can get pretty bad, and the AA options don't help much. Only the lighting and darkness distract me enough, along with taking many shots.

You guys are a bit confused. He missed out on the limited "First Edition", that's the name of the edition with special boxart and artbook included on top of the 2 games. The "Special Edition" which also includes Bayonetta 1 is not limited at all.

Sega likes (and needs) money though, and the porting costs would be minimal. They just need a few nudges and it sure doesn't hurt to lend a hand.
If Bayonetta or Vanquish comes to Steam I will give a good amount of them, I think.

Well, I played it for 20 hours and collected all achievements except the Multiplayer ones (Multiplayer is dead). The Drift challenges were the hardest part of the game, you have to experience the difficulty later on, man.

Exactly what I was thinking. Make the coupons stack, and make them marketable. When a coupon hits people's accounts they can either decide to a) use it for the discount b) sell it for steam wallet or c) find / buy more copuons to get the game at an even bigger discount.
Of course a system like that is totally open to abuse, so instead of coupons going to everyone they would have to limit them to a small part of the community. Or stop spamming people with them, and just give them out as badge-crafting prizes for ultimate effect.

I may have been confused but any time is a good time to push the petition.

Would you buy each game for $20 though? Can you convince the average consumer that they'd be worth their money?
SEGA worrying about low initial sales could be what's stopping them from putting it on Steam.
In fact what would count as a successful sales number, on Steam, for initial releases of such kinds of games?
Food for thought: Viking: Battle for Asgard hit the PC four-and-a-half years after consoles and Sega is currently in the process of putting finishing touches on Steamworks/widescreen/xinput patches for its Dreamcast games.
Really glad the Virtua Fighter 5 received a mention in the petition. That was one that I thought would be forgotten. It was excellent on the PS3, and would be even better to have a Steamworks version of Final Showdown.
Not to mention the ones that have been ported in the past, but have no DD version on the horizon.

Yeah, don't want to derail the thread any further but this was what I was talking about. To be fair, I just noticed i wrote "First Edition" instead of "First Print Edition"
EDIT: I'm dumb, coupons are already tradable.

I expect 2015 to be the year SEGA would announce more of their older games on Steam. What do they have planned for 2015 in the west anyways?
Jawmuncher

Honestly 2015 is pretty quiet for a lot of Japanese developers.
With maybe 1 title so far announced sans mobile.
Crimsonclaw111

I mean, I'd buy them for $20 the moment the store page went up. I paid $80 for Rising (360 and PC launch).
Vanquish in particular would be a great fit for PC.
I'm going to be honest with you now at this rate the best chance of playing Bayonetta on PC is if a WiiU emulator comes to fruition at a later date.

Indeed. To me, it's never too late for a PC version of anything simply because the PC isn't running in generations. Hell, we got IKARUGA of all (soon Radiant Silvergun I hope, you people get on buying Ikaruga!), we are soon getting those Homeworld remasters (Gearbox, dammit, step it up!) and that Resident Evil Remaster thingie.
It's never too late for the PC train.
edit: Oh, yeah, and what were you all hyped about recently? Final Fantasy XIII! Another "imposhiburu" title on the comp.

How is THIS in 60 FPS not cinematic? I ask you, HOW IS THIS NOT CINEMATIC?

I'm not trying to stomp all over anyone's dreams like some sort of message board asshole.
I'm just saying that Japanese companies have been reluctant to port for a number of reasons. Further, the argument that it's a negligible cost isn't exactly true. There are still significant costs and they have to run numbers looking at potential sales numbers, balanced against other development investments of that money.
That's why so many niche Square Enix titles console/handheld titles have not been ported outside Japanese. That's despite needing nothing more than translations.
It's true that Sega does a decent job of getting their games on Steam, though. That's been a positive from them.
Ultimately, if it happens, that's great. I would absolutely love to see Japanese developers embrace Steam ports.

alright so my boss is gone today and I've done next to nothing at work today. I've pondered my gaming future since my current pc is apparently incapable of running the new games particularly well. 3 options for my "next gen":
1) Get back into nintendo.
- pros: cheapest of all the consoles, incredible first party library.
- cons: none of that third party hotness
2) PS4
- pros: bloodborne!!
- cons: console game prices suck
3) Build a new PC or buy a pre-built
- pros: this is a steam thread. you know them.
- cons: most expensive to get started with
keep in mind I do plan on keeping the pc I have around for as long as possible. what say you gaf?

Sega has a history -- albeit one that began only relatively recently -- of putting effort behind dated works. You can't look to the habits of other companies and use that to be dismissive of data pertaining to the actual company in question -- that's just cynical.
That's not to say Sega porting its PS360 exclusives is most certainly going to happen, but there's no denying it's a distinct possibility.

I'm rather biased so I'd say go with PC. Games on sale for crazy cheap in the long run, and if you look in the 'build a PC thread' you should be able to find the components you need to build a good gaming rig.

Hey Jshackles will it be possible to do "dumpster diving" in the trash account for a certain coupon that someone else threw away?

I'll...keep that in mind.
(I played through most of the career mode, dominated most of the events, even one of the later drift challenges)
Nothing ever really clicked with me.
PC + Vita
yeah, I know this. but I'm kind of content playing the mid-tier and indies on pc.
I know that overall I will get the best performance on the high end with a capable pc, it's just that I haven't done the console thing in awhile and that might be the simpler/easier solution to get on the newer games you know?
Is there a way to pre-download?
