Looking forward to The Marvellous Miss Take.
Has a nice Carmen Sandiego vibe, and looks like a fun stealth game.

Sum up my thought nicely. I'm still confused. This is really happening right?
did you finish Styx?
I'll be surprised if it isn't, at least down the line, with the company now being owned by MS. Similarly, I expect Minecraft to make its Steam debut next year.
how long until league of legends??

So far I'm a few hours into FFXIII (with GeDoSaTo of course), and it's pretty decent. Story is nonsense of course, but now I've got Paradigms and the Crystal grid...thing the battle system is a lot more engaging.
Sort of.
I finished it, but didn't manage to do the ghost and treasure runs to 100% it yet because
fucking elves and then the fucking 6 clones you almost have to fucking fight what the fucking bullshit is this "boss fight" Cyanide really seriously this is what you came up with?
you finished it. Stop being a crazy person
But I 100%ed every other level, and I'm like 40 points from every skill bought =p
But seriously, Cyanide, you really let me down with that final mission.
Loved the game up until then, but... just, no.
LoL was on Steam. It was pulled around the time Valve introduced support for F2P games (they're required to support Steam Wallet and Riot was having none of that).

League was on Steam a long time ago, selling the starter pack or whatever they called it.
There's no reason why LoL would want to be on steam. They're already the most played game on the planet, steam wouldn't really get them too much in the way of increased exposure. If anything, it would just provide a platform for their current players to be exposed to competing products. Like DotA 2.

Wow, the console version of Shadow Warrior allows for the user to adjust the FOV and the HUD elements.
Looks like there are some improvements coming down the pipe for us as well.

Wow, I have to say, Metro 2033 Redux looks quite a bit better than the original.
That said, they still didn't fix the annoying microstuttering that was fixed in Last Light, so that's a negative.
Unparking my cores seemed to fix it, but it's weird that Last Light is fine, but both versions of 2033 still have the same problem. I am looking forward to finishing 2033 this time, though. Something happened the first time that messed up my progress, so Redux is a good excuse to replay and finish it.

Wait, a console version of a game has FoV setting, but the PC doesn't? That's really weird.

What mystical forces are at work within Sega for them to bring Valkyria Chronicles to PC?
, I had to do a double take when I saw the news. Fantastic news, if anyone hasn't already played it I highly recommend picking it up when it hits PC, I know I'll be rebuying it.
get them to focus on Yakuza 5 next
The story segments are mostly done like that. With a few 'proper' scenes here and there. Besides that you'll be spending your time in the strategy battles which can be anything from half an hour to an hour+.
Man what I would give for Yakuza 5 on PC.
No, the PC has it too. The improvements to the PC they are talking about are mainly about optimization issues.

So Sekai Project launched their kickstarter for the localization of WAS: The Hourglass of Lepidoptera (yes, it's another visual novel) for the west. You can get the Steam version for $12 in an early bird deal.
It sounds like an alternate history "dystopian Post-War Visual Novel set in Japan," so there's that.

Fuck Yakuza, they need to start actually making good on their promise to bring PSO2 over here. Their constant promises have made me very salty.

It's supposedly a straightforward Souls-like game. I heard it was kind of short on content, but I guess we'll see what people say once they get their hands on it.
yea dark souls like thingie done by tomasz gop's company of witcha fame iirc

Yes.
The Darkness on PC confirmed (?)
I'd double dip so hard. Finding the one used copy available here was one of my 2014 highlights so far, and I haven't even finished the game yet. SO GOOD.
Decent? I'd say it's awesome! I'm digging it a lot, and I don't want the world to become more open or the battle system deeper. I like it fine just the way it is now.
You guys really like her, not in an ironic way? That's totally fine, of course, but... you know, yeah. I mean... my little sister listens to her
That said, I do kinda, sort of, almost enjoy the song "Speak now". And, uh... maybe "Haunted" too. But that's about it!

That's one of the story intermissions between missions.
This is a better representation of what actually playing the game is like.
I tried to find some more YT videos showing off the varied mission design, but they're all just Rank A walkthroughs, and those don't show off the game very well, only how to speedrun the game by completely breaking and abusing its stupid ranking system :lol.
but steam has a monopoly on the pc market
i guess he doesn't want it to sell
:/
but you think
hope

Saw this clip of Valkyria Chronicles... And now am salivating at the thought of playing it. I can't believe I missed something that looks so fun.

Heh, going for A ranks took the fun out of the game for me. I really shouldn't have been so anal with them, by the half way point I was kind of burned out and it meant I ended up not finishing the game. xD

Hey man, I listen to mostly metal (death, thrash, progressive), and when I was told by my buddy that Speak Now is actually a good album, I was reluctant but I gave it a shot anyways. I was pleasantly surprised.
Great interview with Yoshiaki Hirabayashi on the upcoming REmake release.

Watching right now. I have the game on PS3 based purely on recommendation, but haven't played it yet.

Yeah, the way the ranking system works is by far the game's biggest flaw. It encourages to play the game in the least interesting and exciting way possible, circumventing most of the elements that actually make the gameplay varied and interesting.
Mind-boggingly bad design, and completely unintuitive. If you haven't played Valkyria Chronicles yet, I strongly recommend ignoring the ranking system for your first playthrough, you'll have a much better experience with the game.

Okay mini review of that game The bureau XCOM declassified to fit in the theme of Bureau & also avoid Spoilers, spoiler tags ahoy!
Bureau
aliens
lasers.
Rave battles
From the beginning the game is quite dated looking for something that was released last year.
started with very little expectations, in fact I actually disliked the tutorials it threw at me, I barely touched them but with slight interactions I found quite easy to turn battles to your favor for the beginning. the story so far becomes predictable as Russian general of the circle was the only one to voice disagreements was clearly marked to be under the influence of the
Quickly though the game I found my Frame rate actually plummets often as I am rocking a good GPU "GTX 780"I was disappointed at the visuals vs the demand put on my GPU as most of the load was put onto the tons of
Finally we get to the XCOM main base where it seems you to settle in and have dialogue with your colleagues, which was well done spite the Alien that was deep within your base whom spoke like a zealot. Something left to the unknown in XCOM Enemy unknown. I enjoyed the base and I hope we get to spend more time there and building up the story though dialogue and decisions. So far this is as far I as gotten as so far been mediocre. I do expect tons more
with tons of lasers however.

So what did I miss? Why did a copy of Spacebase DF9 appear in my inventory?
Because you own Hack n slash.
