Support NeoGAF

[Grief.exe]

Even with all this BS, people'll still buy nINTENdo's ish and turn a blind eye to such things. As an EU 3DS owner, I gotta suffer through this shit along with having to wait a year for Atlus games.
It's also ridiculous in reverse: EU could get a game 3+ months BEFORE US owners could get it.
Now come and look at Sony systems: REGION free, no restriction on content on the store, an a PS4 game that's cheaper than UK? Hop onto US PSN and oh look it's on sale for lie 75% less than what you'd normally find in the UK.

I get on th 3DS eShop and I find Code of Princess for like 18 Pounds...on sale.

What can we do about it? We let Nintendo know that it's a garbage practice daily, but it would be extremely difficult to ignore their consoles at this point. 3DS is an absolute powerhouse and the WiiU is about to be the most desirable current-gen console from my perspective.

Now, we can continue to cross our fingers that the pirates develop a way to get around the region lock. Then we can import games,at our leisure.

I think we just gotta be more vocal I guess.
Only thing I'm guessing is that they're lazy on the emoticons and wallpaper areas.

Her hair should be right up your alley though.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

hmmm ... 2 new games in the coming soon section

*This is the All Ages version. All explicit adult content has been removed; however, it does contain violence, coarse language, suggestive themes, and partial nudity.

Pffffft, get outta here with this. If Hatoful Boyfriend can stretch the limits of modern society and allow mankind to truly kindle the flames of passion with bird-kind

Spoiler

only to have BBL mode kick the door in

, then this shall not stand!

Kinda weird to see so many VNs now, both eastern and western developed.

You can really find all different manner of VN genres and there are always Eroge games. Crazy stuff.

[Grief.exe]

Talking about The Golden Joystick Awards... DoS and Banished not being there in any form is sad state of affairs, I must say.

.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I mean that any genre of VNs can have eroge games in that genre. I never thought there were Ninja Eroge VNs. It's just funny is all

 

[ViviOggi]

Cover suggests a sweet action title, turns out to be a censored eroge. Disappointing.

Ninja eroge isn't too weird, honestly. Look for "My girlfriend is the president" or the like

In the not so distant future, in an alternate universe version of Japan... a young man awakes to discover that the house of his childhood friend who lives next door has been changed into the White House. Why? Because she's the president, of course! The president of New Japan, appointed by an alien who crash-landed on earth and brainwashed humanity to this new world order of bishoujo leadership in which you come to take a vital spot in the new moe administration. Sound like a crazy bishoujo love comedy? That's because it is - one of the most madcap, romantic, erotic eroge tales ever told puts you in the position of trusted adviser trying to return the world to its original, pre-cute-alien-invasion state. How will you respond to this turn of events?!

I am sure, people who read more VNs than me, can pull out the really weird ones.

 

[derExperte]

Now when I respawned I did so back in the place y BUT without the previous objective marked as complete essentially forcing me to go back to place X. It's an obvious oversight but these things add up.

Same thing happened to me. It wasn't that big of a deal in itself but weird.

And I had to restart from a checkpoint yet again because now Bats was stuck in an animation loop in a cutscene. And before that a guard couldn't move out of a corner. I knew the game had problems, read about even more serious stuff during release but I didn't expect this, Origins is approaching Deadly Premontion-like levels of jank.

I noticed thanks

 

[someguyinahat]

Kinda weird to see so many VNs now, both eastern and western developed.

Pretty sure the Japanese ones were always out there, but not on Steam and/or translated.
As for the western ones, gamers slowly started paving the way for VNs themselves: games like Dear Esther, Gone Home, and To the Moon all readied gamers for an all-story, no-gameplay experience such as a VN. And of course, Katawa Shoujo was there before them all, but that one was free.

 

[Mokoi]

?

Yes there are only eroges visual novels. Nothing else exits, and it's all a bunch of sick smut.

I know of "My girlfriend is the president". I suppose I'm not too versed in the genre. I tend to pick them up on Steam but don't really seek them out outside of it. Always happy to see them come to Steam though

 

[Teppic]

wait... there are cards for 0.03? Where how when? I never have seen one at that price. Lowest I ever was able to buy a card was for 0.05€

When I say buy it means I have put in a buy order. There's no guarantee I will get all cards, at least not for a couple of months, and for most of them even longer. Some sure bets seems to be CS:GO, Garry's mod, Sniper Elite V2.

 

[PandaPedinte]

This reminds me that I still need to finish Bridge It (plus)

That game looks cool, didn't Rayge posted about wanted it released on Steam?

What was the first japanese or japanese looking Visual Novel on Steam? Was it Analogue?

Yes, I'm really glad for all these. Even desmutted smut.

What can we do about it? We let Nintendo know that it's a garbage practice daily, but it would be extremely difficult to ignore their consoles at this point. 3DS is an absolute powerhouse and the WiiU is about to be the most desirable current-gen console from my perspective.

Or you could, I don't know, boycott Nintendo and play one of the thousands of PC games you have in your library?
Sorry if this seems like a personal attack, but I just don't understand something here. You seem to punish Ubisoft for their Uplay client, yet embrace Nintendo's shitty consumer practices at the same time...

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, he posted the trailer last month. A Steam release was announced ~a couple of weeks earlier.

 

[Sajjaja]

Ha, i totally wrote that wrong. I meant to inquire whether playing Dead Space on low sufficiently mitigated the horror aspects to the point of being more playable for you (since you implied that being chased by things, like the regenerator in Dead Space, made it rough for you).

Never mind, i clearly need sleep.

Thing about dead space was that it was mostly jump scares and after the initial scare, most enemies become easy to deal with.Though that game certainly did have its moments. And no, I don't think the lower graphics hurt the experience for me Though I'd have to replay it in HD to say for sure.

Incredible. It launched sept. 12 2003. I joined a month after (oct 13 2003.) So old!

PC is an open platform, and I would like to keep it that way. Consoles, not so much.

Though I do see somewhat of a double standard there.

SteamGAF? Nah, last year Bioshock Infinite was barely pushed out of first place.

Needless to say, I have little faith.

That's kind of crazy. I joined on HL2's launch day in November 2004. This November HL2 will be 10 years old and so will my Steam account. Time has just flown by...

Thanks to the help of idle master over the past week, I managed to get the cost down from $50 to $18.18. Fortunately, the next piece of MAGIX software I need is cheaper in Eastern Europe; after that, I am done

Spoiler

with MAGIX software until the inevitable 2015 editions

.

Somebody's ears were burning: Music Maker 2015 and Music Maker 2015 Premium appeared just a few minutes ago.

What does this have to do with the GJA? Just curious.

 

[Monooboe]

Anyone have a tip one a game that goes for around 6-8 keys? I have most of the bigger and known games. Are there any hidden gems out there?

I think he means Divinity: Original Sin.

Grab it! Superb game, it would even worth it's full price. You will have fun and agony. Fun while playing and agony when Ubisoft teases the sequel yet again."All Ages Version"? That means, there is an uncensored version that is so smutty that you can't have it uncensored on Steam? Oh my~

Here's hoping for an HB ver. that nets you the Steam+smutty ver. or something like that.

I'd rather it be official than use custom firmware personally

Original Sin deserves it, but I somehow doubt that it will come first. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong

And now I'm reminded that I have yet to properly play Banished after buying it at launch :/

 

[Deques]

So... more card idling, if you have any left?

 

[Stop It]

Yep

I remember using the Steam beta and the backlash surrounding the end of WON and how bad CS 1.6 was and how Steam would backfire on Valve etc.

To be fair, Steam was certainly...interesting back then. I still miss Chess though.

My account will turn 11 years old on the 12th, along with Steam itself. One of the first 10,000 users and still just about going here.

 

[Monooboe]

Was looking at some Steam review on it and some people have played it for 60 hours!? Doesn't seem like a game like that at all.

 

[JaseC]

So more card idling if you have any left?

I still have ~$34 in drops to use up, but MAGIX has been discounting its 2014 stuff by 50% over the past couple of months, so I'll just wait until history repeats itself and in doing so save a further 10% per title.

 

[Atraveller]

Original Sin deserves it, but I somehow doubt that it will come first. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong

In steamgaf GOTY list? Most likely! Overall gaf GOTY? Nope! No enough PC gamers to go against console exclusive votes.

 

[Woody Invincible]

So my Sunday was filled with bleaching the back patio, killing brown widows (yes brown, didn't know of their existence until this weekend), and painting the patio ceiling. I'll get around to playing games one day!

Hope everybody had a great weekend, good morning gaf!

I waited almost 10 years to join, well, somewhat less than 10, but that just shows how stubborn I am. Steam kinda opened floodgates, though, now I have and origin and uplay, and registered to Kalypso, etc.

I just wish we could vote for games we played in 2014, not for games that were released in 2014. I don't think I've finished a lot of new ones this year. :\
MRORANGE's 52 games thread should give an easy way to verify if voter actually played the game he voted on.

PC is an open platform, and I would like to keep it that way. Consoles, not so much.
Though I do see somewhat of a double standard there.

To be fair, NDS was an open platform for most of its life. And still made oodles of cash for Nintendo!
The fact that one could play Fate//STAY NIGHT and best Lemmings port on it was they only reason I bought the hardware.
Don't plan on buying 3DS anytime soon if ever.

Ah yes, Steamgaf GOTY. Overall I'd be happy if it gets in the top 10
