wait a minute, isn't Kingdom Hearts a Disney collab? Doesn't bode well for a Steam release unless Disney come to their senses

they don't alow digital kingdom hearts for who knows why. we all know that changed for KH3, so i just don't know anymore

Kingdom Hearts is very unlikely to come to the PC, the PSP release didn't even get digitally released on PSN because of Disney's nonsense. Although of course one hopes things have changed

 

[TheSeks]

But 12 was pretty much universally panned as bad, so your sequence doesn't work.

Haha. No.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

7/10 means bad only in this industry.


What the fuck.

Steamworks physical copy with no store page maybe? Dunno. But yeah, I don't expect the KH games on Steam at all.

 

[73V3N]

I really hope capcom is taking note. I want the old REs and Dino Crisis on steam. Would have thought they would get the hint with FF7&8 sales.

And also Mega Man X collection

What's the difference between a hidden object adventure game and a normal adventure game?

If I had to guess, it would be that normal adventure games tend to have more of a plot-centric focus than hidden object adventure games, at least in my experience. It's been a long time since I've played a hidden object game, so I could be wrong though.

Humble Merge Games bundle

How is the $1 tier?

 

[JaseC]

That's the sub of the DLC, no? The standalone is the Director's Cut.

Note that it includes two apps, not one.

 

[AsfaeksBR]

All that FF13 talk while I'm thinking about buying Roundabout. Also Elminage Gothic is out.

Roundabout sure looks fun, but SteamGAF taught me that these kind of games (not so known indie games) usually go on Bundles in a couple of months.
I think I'll wait on this one.

And I think I'll wait on F XIII too. I know I won't play it now nor plan to play it, and it will be discounted when the full trilogy hits Steam.

But haven't deserved it since 6.

7 got it because 'omfg 3D'
8 got it because 'omfg 7'
9 deserved it
10 got it because 'omfg PS2'
11 got it because 'omfg console MMO'
12 deserved it

Really, the good FFs are divisible by 3.

FFV tho

Well, yeah, but none of them are the Director's cut... . I'm asking if I buy the standalone I do get the DLC for base Shadowrun.

Fuck it, bought FF and R. Just got my sixth The Raven coupon too. What a day.

Roundabout sure looks fun, but SteamGAF taught me that these kind of games (not so known indie games) usually go on Bundles in a couple of months.

You're right of course but from time to time I feel the strong desire to support one of the smaller indie games, I'm a sucker for 90s style FMVs and this was fun.

genius

Only people I know who actually pan it are idiots who thought 8 had great writing.

FF12 is bad, and it is universally thought of as a bad FF, not a bad game, but definitely bad FF, and FF8 has bad writing, no denying that, but FF12 can only dream being a game FF8 is.
battle that

 

[Jawmuncher]

Be careful what you wish for. Knowing Capcpom, they'll hear your pleas and port Dino Crisis 3 to PC, then they'll be all like, "Look what we did for you, Jawmuncher!"

That would be the quite the pickle.
I hate that game but I would need to own it.
But I wouldn't want myself or anyone else to pay for it.

When FFXIII-2 comes to PC, I'll die happy. I liked XIII but didn't care too much for it. XIII-2 was just amazing (for me) even if for the soundtrack alone.

Am I misinterpreting the thread title or is Bayonetta 2 coming out for Steam?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I already did. That review is pretty much perfectly accurate, though. It's a blend of those games with Amiga graphics and music.

I ended up using my 25% off Iron Fisticle coupon, and it's actually pretty great! I don't have enough thoughts to write actual text so here's some pros and cons:

+ Nice graphics! Very Amiga-styled pixel graphics, reminds me a lot of the style used in Chaos Engine except all the sprites are small.
+ Same for the music. It's Amiga-ish type chiptunes, so not as low-fi (and grating) as NES-style tunes.
+ Solid double-stick shooter mechanics. Zero complaints with the controls. Native controller support, plays well with 360 pad.
+ Enemy onslaught is pretty intense! First few rooms only throw maybe 50 enemies at you, but as early as the 3rd floor you'll be chopping up hundreds of zombies in each room, while dodging bullets and moving spike traps.
+ Nice leveling system. It has all kinds of unlocks, both temporary and permanent. It seems like there's a lot of leveling potential and the endgame will hopefully be a lot more intense than the beginning is.
+ It has 9 cards and they're currently going for around €0,20 each!

- It uses Rogue Legacy-style progression. This is mostly fine since your starting damage and rate of fire are decent enough for the first few floors, but your movement speed is pathetic! If it's impossible to pick up all the loot the boss drops before it fades away, you dun goofed your player movement speed.
- I don't understand the way they stop you from moving in certain directions. For example, the first floor of the dungeon is a 3x3 square of rooms and you start in the top left room. You'd think the best strategy from there is to move in a Z-formation to hit every room and maximize your chances of good drops, but the game just stops you from doing that by randomly blocking access to certain rooms. I can't seem to grasp the logic of when a room is locked, so it gets to be pretty annoying, especially when there are "special" rooms you will want to visit and suddenly the path to them is blocked.

I missed this post while going through the thread, but it sounds great. Thanks for the impressions!

I'll probably have to pick it up at some point.

 

[jshackles]

Insta-bought Final Fantasy XIII. I'm surprised by the price, I figured it would have been closer to $20 though to be honest I would have paid $30.

Seeing that it will include Steam achievements makes me so happy.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Bayo2 isn't coming out for Steam, it's just a comment on how there's a population of people who play Nintendo games here too.

You are misinterpreting the title, sadly.

You're misinterpreting the title

 

[JaseC]

Well, yeah, but none of them are the Director's cut... .

300550 Game Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut 17 minutes ago
272030 DLC Shadowrun: Dragonfall 4 months ago

I'm asking if I buy the standalone I do get the DLC for base Shadowrun.

Yes, but it's not the Director's Cut and the app hasn't been updated in a good few months, so I presume it's not going to receive the changes seen in the standalone version. I assume this is why the sub includes both (i.e. for the sake of purists who, for one reason or another, prefer the DLC in its original form).

 

[Volimar]

Why do people keep saying things are universally considered bad when the opposite is demonstrably true?

I'd rather people just say they didn't like it and why rather than try to make it seem like no one liked it when more people did than didn't.

 

[kevin1025]

All the developers know this is where the long term money is, therefore they're finally jumping over.

Publishers managed to get out of the 2006 vortex and realise there's money to be made.

It is a scary frontier.

Also, and I know this is likely a silly question, Shadow of Mordor requirements pegs a i5-750 for the minimum. I'm sitting at i5-3570k, I'm more than safe, right?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Hopefully 13-2 includes all the DLC.
I know one of the regions had a release like that.

Well I did it as a joke, copying salsa word for word, knowing FF12 had high ratings on metacritic - sadly not one person picked up on it.

I'll be getting it when 2.5 HD Remix comes out, but can someone explain the whole rationale that Disney has around locking down the ports? Just curious.

There was a reason I did the metacritic listing for FF12 in response

I seriously don't understand why the door to the left doesn't open when I get the key.

thats because you are limited to a specific number of rooms at each floor , why? idk maybe because if u could access all the rooms at each floor you level up way too fast

[The_Monk]

Interesting to see FF XIII on Steam, I always get stuck on the final Boss of these games but I usually just go for the journey, not the final destination.

FF XIII have a nice battle music, something I often like in these games. This theme after the one minute mark is pretty and I hope I can manage to play it soon on my PC.

Sounds like you've answered your own question. I think TT began changing things up with Lego Harry, so it's only Lego Batman (the first one) that plays out identically to the Lucasarts games. I'm currently working my way through Lego Indy 1 at the moment and will probably buy Lego Pirates from Amazon when it's on sale just to complete the collection as I'm playing through the games in release order.
