[Freedom = $1.05]

No, our best bet is the iOS version ported to PC. Which looks kinda crappy but hey, a good game is a good game, right? ;_;

The only hope with a PC port is that you can replace the sprites with the original SNES sprites instead of the RPG Maker bullshit they used on those ios ports.

Also, for those of you interested in FFXIII: Prepare yourself for the Destiny of its day. It's thoroughly mediocre for the first 20 hours, its story is tucked away and kinda nonsensical (but hey, they at least didn't make you go to a website for the wiki/lore stuff), and the combat is the best thing about the game if you don't count the graphics.

I can help you guys and will sell the game at price in the store (2.05$). I have check my paypal though since the store is now denying me to buy the game via paypal.

yeah
well, i hope he'll have one left for me

 

[MMBosstones86]

is this a pricing error due to the new currencies being added?

Neither Sony or Microsoft seem to be paying for any kind of exclusivity on FF XV though.

That is weird. I thought FFXV was originally exclusive for PS4 and in the last minute MS cashed out. Read some posts on Gaf hinting at it.
---
On that note. Holy Smokes! Microsoft wants to buy Mojang for over 2bn$! I am probably late though as I heard the news from a second grade German news channel (wasn't online the last couple days -_-).

I don't know how I feel about that honestly. On one hand the huge financial backing of MS could enable Mojang to produce more games with higher budgets > better models, sounds etc.
But on the other hand this feels like artificially enhancing the value of Xone. It may be too early but I get the feeling of Minecraft becoming exclusive on Xbox.
Furthermore I don't believe MS to actually care much about Mojang and its devs plans/ideologies about game development or their desired future projects. It seems more like an extended moneyhat; acquisition of Minecraft IP actually.
If MS would care about fostering new talent or indie games, they could have achieved much, much more by spending that unholy figure on devs who actually need money. Or they could build a MS indie studio/co-work with indie devs. Anything would have been better.

I really despise this tactic though. Buying to shield other users of enjoying a game. They did it with Tomb Raider and now Minecraft. I don't like this MS at all.

You seem pretty deeply confused. I think you need to understand that a corporation is not a singular person with a singular goal. This acquisition has nothing to do with making Minecraft exclusive to Xbox One; that would be an insanely stupid thing to spend 2 billion dollars on. It also has absolutely nothing to do with fostering creativity or grassroots development, nor does it have anything to do with nurturing Mojang and elevating it as a studio. It's simply about making some money, because Minecraft is like the biggest franchise in gaming right now.

The combat will most likely stay the same

As for graphical improvements :

Ah. Well, with their financial troubles, it isn't surprising. I appreciate that Crytek is making some upgrades and improvements to the PC release though.

I'm looking forward to having Minecraft on Steam. I don't think I've ever bothered to play it, simply because I kept forgetting I owned it.

It's fun for a bit, but unless you really really like building things, it gets kind of old, quick.

 

[JustLynx]

woohoo this guy from here http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamGameSwap/comments/2gnaas/h_celebrat10n_trackmania_complete_pack_w_1_key/ just traded with me!
i think he's limit is resetting now

 

[Boss Doggie]

So apparently my country (Philippines) finally got its currency to show up in Steam.

And not only that, the prices now changed to reflect the pricing of the country (originally CivBE is 50 usd, now it's roughly equivalent to 28 usd).

I wonder if this is going to be abused through trading?

.

More like Sony just dropped the exclusivity(and the money agreements).Microsoft didn't cash out to get it too, Sony just dropped the deal. And good on them, it would be a waste of money when the PS4 version will easily outsell the One version by a mile.

Need to buy an extra copy of Remember Me, has Capcom locked the gift copies?

I played it for about 2 hours. I slaved away and built a little house on the beach. It wasn't much but I had a bed and even some nice pictures on the wall, and I was feeling psyched about expanding my little beach compound. Then I woke up the next morning and opened the door, with a Creeper camping literally a pixel out of view from the door and he blew my house up instantly. I was like "game y u do dis " and never went back to it.

Nice to see a fellow filipino here.

You can't send the big games anyway since most of them are locked to our region (SEA).

The RU store page says it's region-locked, but it's not.

some stuff for you to read

So Minecraft is not going to go platform exclusive? Great. I totally misjudged that. But when Spencer talked about PC being important to MS I actually thought about other things. "Panic-mode Sony/MS/Nintendo" should be about making games not buying imo.

The founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving.

Welp, the brains behind it are gone. Can't say I wouldn't have done the same. Working under a big name, with deadlines, not being your own boss anymore. After all those carefree years why undergo that stress?
Wish them the best. And with the money they got, they surely can be as indie as they want now.

It’s going to be good though. Everything is going to be OK. <3

Hope Mojang won't be left only a shell after some time. I only read how fans are sad about what happened with Rare and MS.

Yeah, I just tried to put different viewpoints in my reply instead of just M(dollar-bill). But I do think it's only about the IP, too. Still, I am curious to see what MS is gonna do with the IP to make more than 2bn back. Movies, tv show, toys. 2bn is huge. Youtube didn't cost that much, man.

Huh, didn't think about that. Makes sense. They are not the underdog anymore.

I don't know about Carl and Jakob, but Notch is not one of the brains of Minecraft. He left the development of Minecraft a long time ago. Jeb is now the head of development of MC. Notch is only a one-hit-wonder. He created one successful game, and the concept/idea is not even (at that time) original. All games after Minecraft he made have failed.

What ever happened with that Scrolls game?

Still in development

anyone using a nvidia shield portable for remote play? How does it work compared to a PS4->Vita when it comes to remote play? Thinking of getting one during the holidays if it drops to around $100 just for whenever im at my GFs house and she's passed out (we have opposite schedules).

Oh I did not know that. Always thought with Notch plastering so many sites, he's actually responsible. Hmm, I read/watched about his - now canned - space/programming project. Sounded really interesting. Let's see if he retires, is a one-hit-wonder or actually manages something.

Not having one key now, since I bought Sakura Spirit. Noooo!

worth it... hopefully...

Instant punishment from the heavens for wasting your key in such a horrible way.

Now that he has a lot money I don't think he actually bothers to make something good. In his letter about the acquisition he said that he will participate Ludum Dare competitions. But I don't think those will be noteworthy...

He can't sell anymore, and the Steam store is blocked here at work. Plus my 3G connection is way too unreliable to do it all from my phone.

Oh well, someday the pack has to reach $5 or so. Right?

or 1.5 tf2 key

i feel like the one thing turn based wrpgs will ever need is a megaten-esque fast forward button to just quickly do strongest melee move

then time-consuming wouldn't be a cons and real time with pause would be ded forever

i'm surprised no one has implemented it yet

 

[L.O.R.D]

ok, i found it

thanks Crab Milk Mickey

 

[Haunted]

yaaay

and not a single game on my wishlist is on sale.


edit: actually, Teslagrad is 33% off. Hmm

 

[wilflare]

so does the SEA region have any super awesome deal other than Trackmania?

The new Civ game would be the end of me
