Next release from Arc System Works is Getsuei Gakuen Kou. Japanese language only though.
Hm... that's really weird. I can't think of a single reason why they'd do this.

"oh well nobody wanted this game why would we bother porting Xrd or Central Fiction"
I've been replaying Arkham Asylum while waiting for more sales to get the games I actually want to play, and I've discovered that I think I enjoy(ed) Asylum more than the sequels because of how simpler and straight-forward it is. The other games really got bloated with new mechanics and collectibles which detracted from the immersion.

What's the point?
this not even action game apparently?

They are testing the waters for more ArcSys support. If this japanese only game wont sell well...
Well. No more ArcSys games on Steam!

Asylum provides a tighter experience, for sure... it's more controlled and plays out more like a metroidvania than an open world game. The open world structure of City is sparse at times and yet remains bloated by the sheer number of collectables and map traveling required to work through 100% of the game. Add in the strange Catwoman side story as part of the main narrative and it was just not the direction I wished the series was going in.
I was a bit burnt out on the series after working through City and getting platinum (especially since my save from vanilla didn't transfer to GOTY and I had to work through the whole thing multiple times again), but by the time I got to Origins, I actually thought it was refreshing. While some of the boss fights were a bit janky and some of it was a little "B-team", I enjoyed the narrative, world design, inclusion of "detective" scenarios to change up the pace more than I had with City.
People said this back when Calamity Trigger release and it's 100% not true...
It turned into a nice marketing trick from companies though!
When I played it I initially used a joy2key template for my 360 controller but the driving was so terrible I finally gave up and just used mouse and keyboard. Driving was still pretty rough, it's super sensitive and prone to oversteer, particularly with the motorcycles.

Holy shit, glad I haven't bought Arkham Knight on PC and I've ignored that Windows 10 upgrade so far.

I'm currently playing through Quake II for the first time on PC and its amazing how its pretty much an "open world" game (if each section is considered its own world)
My only point of reference for Quake II is the N64 port and I remember it being waaaaay different. Still an amazing game and holds up relatively well imo

Rogue is also 29.99 in EU. Unless you're talking conversion rates, and we all know thats a pointless conversation.
Unity also dropped, but to 39.99 (I guess it was 59.99 and not 49.99 like Rogue was)

Conversion rates are pointless, you are 100% right sir.

So I beat NG+ in RL only to realize that mistakes were made... damn, I should've leveled a bit more before taking out the final boss in NG+.

The photo mode is neat:
I've got a FX-6300 and HD 7950 and I can play on Normal/1080p at a constant 30 FPS with little to no stuttering. The benchmark wavered between 45-60 but I wanted a little bit of consistency so I turned the cap on. Seems a bit better than pre-patch.
Nice report. It seems that we have similar PC specs.
How about on High/1080p? Will it dip below 30fps?
It's not, though.
Canada isn't a third world country that's region locked =p
If Unity gets a 50% discount with this new base price I probably will pick it up.

12GB is not the minimum requirement for W10. Don't make things up.

Right.
The minimum is still 6GB, but with paging and not so smooth gameplay experience. Will that do?
So this just came out and it's by the Funcom team that did The Secret World. I decided to grab it for $10 because it was on sale and figured I could use a good horror game. The game takes less than an hour to complete and it's kind of boring. The last part of the game they try a P.T looping type thing but end up doing nothing with it. After a few loops it stops and literally nothing can kill you.
The voice acting and brief story is alright and the game looks pretty nice it serves it's purpose but the price is way too much it literally feels like one level of a full game.It took me longer to download the game then it did to play it.
The combat is serviceable. The game isn't Vanquish, but it's not a chore to play, either.

That is an odd release, are they doing it for the Jp consumers?

Now accepting applications.
American Nightmare is pretty much Alan Wake's mercenary mode - the combat's significantly better there. I liked the score attack maps best, though. The main "open world" campaign of American Nightmare is novel and would've been a lot better with more interesting content to fill it out - it's mostly just busywork between fights that doesn't have the charm of the original. As a pure action game it's pretty fun.

Well it has a high school girl with a pompadour so it has my interest.
Was this game fan translated? If so the fan translation could be patched and bob's your uncle.

Help. I'm becoming one of those giant post weirdos.
Great news. I guess it really was a bug.
Not even WB is that insane.
Is this the game zkylon has been working on? I want to believe.
Then you exit the game and they're all back. Could've been so much more.

It's the Rhys thing to be, but anyone else would see it's a giant friggin' trap from the get-go. Fiona would never be so silly.

Sure Alan Wake combat is mediocre at its worst, it's still functional. The story, characters, and atmosphere was worth putting up with it. In the end, I think you'll be glad you played it through.
I was able to bump texures to High with 8x Anisotropic Filtering and keep it at a near-constant 30. Keep in mind, I have it installed on an SSD. Not sure how big of a difference it makes though.

That's disappointing to hear. The developers themselves said the game was 2 to 3 hours. I was surprised by their candor. It put me off the game though. I'll just wait for a sale of a game that short.
I don't know, i'm just not feeling the gameplay. I mean it's not terrible... but it could be way better. I have some other major gripes too, like the voice acting and dumb things like Alan having the stamina of an 100 year old man.
Ah, how is the sequel or whatever? I probably won't play that until like next Halloween lol.

The problem is that everything in Alan Wake is mediocre at best. The light-based combat is the only inspired thing about AW, and it sucks.
Just imagine Deadly Premonition with that combat engine... it would be better!

The game is pretty much a straight path. You basically walk through the park and get on rides and then you ride them while she talks. You do this for a few rides the you enter a haunted house that's basically a P.T clone with the looping but after a few loops you get the last cutscenes.
Other than that there are notes everywhere you can read. I read everything I saw but maybe I missed some but the story is straight forward that I can't see how it matters. I've read there is stuff in TSW that ties into this but I'll never see that. I guess if you search everything you may be able to add a bit more time but everything thing is just a straight path I can't see many areas you could go explore if anything is hidden.

Whenever a developer says something is x hours you know it is going to be a hell of a lot shorter than that. I take my time with my games and even then the estimates are always bs.
