Ahhh i see. That makes complete sense. I thought they came from keygens or something. Are those even a thing still?

It's getting it, but since on PC there's no need to write "Remastered! HD!" and such, we'll just get a patch.

listen to the mad man
Keygens are less of a thing because online activation exists, so there's no longer a formula to generate keys, just a list of valid keys that are checked on activation.
Yeah, the writing has been in the wall for a while , with their need of platform holders deals to be able to launch AAA big budget games, and the recent reliance in remakes/remasters. (which iccidentely I believe it's a good place to take focus in, in their many good IPs and classics that could really be revisited and improved)
I've said it before that Capcom would have a hard time surviving this generation. At the very least they've been smart by downscaling their efforts and offsetting the risk of their bigger ventures to platform holders, but I wonder if that will be enough to keep them afloat.

Ready to be stunned.
The publisher probably has the right for those to be taken down, however that is public data, so I'd imagine the developers are just as entitled to take a look at least in private than being publicly available to all.
This game is free on Kindle. It's basically Candy Crush Frozen edition.

They just fucked up in investing so much of their profits from the monhun games into a not well thought out mobile venture. Square Enix and Sega seem to have made that transition alright but i don't think they made such a huge bet with little to no return like Capcom did.
I'm amazed there's no universal Steam crack though.
I mean, sure, there are pirate emulators of CEG/Steamworks, but I think they need per game patches to work.
That's almost Stubbs.
Just played the first few levels. It's a poor mans Bejweled. Not too bad.

Match 3 is my fucking drug and this is releasing on PS4 too, dare I double dip?
Couple that with their investment on making a next-gen engine that apparently ammounted to nothing (probably too buggy and with bad performance) and a F2P Dungeon MMO stuck in development hell because of the issues with that same engine... they've wasted a crapload of money in the last couple of years.

Makes sense about sony. Since I was wondering why there wasn't a Xbox One confirmation. Still curious about RE7 though. If that ends up as an exclusive it's gonna be nuts.

It will either be a exclusive or a lower budget effort. Though if it is a exclusive chances are that it will still release on PC so there's that at least.

If anyone gets this, and doesn't want 140... hinthintnudgenudge. I own pretty much everything else I want from this bundle.

RE is still their top selling franchise. Though I could see them not killing the budget like they did on RE6.

Yup. Got it right away.
They needed a platform holder's help to be able to make Street Fighter V. One of their biggest franchises.Let that sink in.

They're just playing it very risk adverse. From the sound of things we were going to get SFV just not as soon as we are now. Sony basically got the boosters going sooner.
That's not to say RE7 as a exclusive is a impossibility.
Alan Wake wasn't actually a good game, though.
Although I don't think anyone was waiting for Resident Evil Counterstrike.
Steam Spy is in a very tenuous position as Valve could revoke their access to the data at any time.
Best to keep as low-key as possible.
Capcom are just very risk adverse right now. They are focussing on high-margin, low-investment remasters and partnerships rather than taking on higher risk projects.

Well, yeah, and that's exactly why RE7 is going to be either a console exclusive or have a lower budget than usual. In their situation they won't be able to afford a full AAA game by themselves for a while still.

Worth it for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat, which is the only one I don't have
It was the butchered corpse of what might have been a good game, and you know it.
The enemies were laughable, the spawn-trigger-volumes ridiculously placed and multi-triggering, the combat was repetitive as fuck, the "platforming" was finnicky...
I... kinda liked the water in the original version more in the long vistas.
It's more... dreamlike and fitting with the motif?

Also the lipsyncing wasn't well executed.
I had lots of fun ghost busting shadow people.
and the story was cool in that outer limits/twilight zone/stephen king kind of way.
spawn rate complaints seem kind of like a nitpick certainly doesn't make it a bad game.
opionions will be opinions though
nitpicks abound.
not every game can have LA Noire facial tech or whatever it was called

From what I've played, first game in a while to really capture that SoTC atmosphere of being a small warrior fighting something towering and powerful
FINALLY
Not spawn rate, trigger volume placement.
If you walked around in a zone (looking for those stupid pages, for example), it was possible to walk through the same volume and respawn all the same fucking monsters.
In a game with ammo conservation and scarcity issues, that's a baaaad thing.

The original idea of an open world horror game wouldn't have worked out, Remedy admitted to trying and throwing in the towel. The engine itself is still fully capable of it though, as evidenced by the camera controls in the PC version.
Combat felt great, but they did suffer from poor enemy placement. Playing on the highest difficulty mode gave it the exact sense of urgency it needed. American Nightmare improved on this in every way.
Seriously, should I not like Life is Strange anymore because the lip syncing was nonexistent for at least two episodes and only marginally improved thereafter?

Haha, I am real bad with little details. But I also lavish praise on games that get the little details right.
