There's already a new version. Wth

Central Fiction was announced in July. It hasn't come out in Arcades yet so this Steam release of CP:E is the closest we will get for a good while of Steam and Consoles being in tandem.

So in this case. I might actually get this if the netcode is decent. Since CF is so far away for consoles.

I look forward to playing the new Blazblue in January then.

January 2019.

Lol what. Oh you meant for Steam

Yeah probably.

More than likely Steam will get Central Fiction Extend so 2019 is not even that bad of a guess.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Last I heard it got moved to TBA (To Be Announced)

Poise as someone from the industry and ask square for us directly. "Yes this is jshackles from enhanced steam, when will you be releasing lightning returns on steam?"

 

[L.O.R.D]

Muv-Luv Kickstarter has launched!

is this light novel so popular ?
i am really shocked they just reached $70000

but a game like GRIP failed

so many people love that kind of games ?

That's just crazy enough to work. BRB

 

[Vazra]

With our luck a new GG will be revealed in January.

Im cool with the reveal in January. I would win the avatar bet still since its 2016

It's a VN though.

Considering Revelator just came out in Arcades I doubt it.

Europe too! We're used to waiting for the anime fighters.

Visual Novel, and yes. It's one of the highest ranked VNs in both Japan and the West. It's the highest rated VN on VNDB.

GRIP faiked because its a new IP and the campaign wasn't really well marketed at all.
Meanwhile MUV Luv is a established IP with titles rated very highly in its genre

 

[Leafhopper]

Europe too! We're used to waiting for the anime fighters.

Oh I didn't know you were in EU, Uzzy. I can't comprehend the struggle for fighting games that aren't made by Capcom or Sega over there with their release dates ;_;

 

[PandaPedinte]

With our luck a new GG will be revealed in January.

Which is good but the real test will be when the console version of CF (Central Fiction) and PC release in the same time frame.

That is the latest on Consoles yes. Central Fiction won't be out in arcades until winter and there isn't a console release date for that yet I believe.

Ladies and gents, we're about to catch up on ASW fighting games. UNIEL and XRD! LET'S GO!!!!

Damn auto correct on phone used *they're*. Ugh

Ah thanks, I always get lost on all the versions BB and GG get.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Man Sins: Rebellion never goes below $10 which is an absolute crime considering it released in 2012.

Might see if I can swing buying Gal Civ III this weekend. Shame the DLC isn't on sale though. If I can't get it now I'm sure it'll be the same price or less during the fall/winter sales. Still need the new Endless Legend DLC though...

Anime fans are loaded. Clannad VN did 540k.
And both of these have already been fan-translated, so they're just in for the enhacements/official releases.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Every time I try clicking on "activate product on steam", the client crashes. Seems I'll not the only one either judging from the steam beta forums either. Hope they fix it soon.

Yes, many people self-love to that kind of game.

I say just go back to stable. Beta seems like a shit show at the moment.

 

[MakeshiftChef]

Looks cool, but what is it about? It says "rogue-lite" (what), craft, evade so survivor game?



oh hey chrono phantasma extend only 6 months after it was released in other platform

You journey down a river on a makeshift raft in an attempt to escape the coming flood. It is a survival game with crafting mechanics. Death is permanent (sort of). The idea is to survive. There is only an endless mode right now. They are working on the campaign part of the game as well as tweaking various play mechanics.

Mad Max has one of the best worlds i have seen in OW games. I am playing it for 26 hours and i am still discovering new things on map. Avalanche did extraordinary job in that department. Map is natural and full of details, from amazing dried sea floor to abandoned harbor and mountains on the other side of the map. Also putting your main goal on the opposite side from where you begin and making it visible from every part of the map is awesome.

Also i love what Avalanche did with lightning. It is mostly dynamic and they included Sub - Surface Scattering for skin.

I even like that there is no Story heavy main missions. And if they ever make Mad Max 2 i would love to see great Story heavy side missions with interesting characters and fraction system but no heavy main mission. I would be fine if game didn't have any main story at all but amazing side stories. I really hope that WB will be for Mad Max 2.

so , what the best VN game you recommend me to play ?

i haven't start 999 and Danganronpa yet because i am not sure if i am gonna like it

You have them and haven't played them yet? Come oooon

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Nah, I guess I should have instructions for that, still kinda figuring out the settings for a .NET project. & is used in the menus to denote which button is the hotkey when pressing ALT. So ALT + F = File menu, and so on. Some translations have entered their text, followed by (&F) (for File) and it looks okay.

Ah okay. I translated Idle Master and finished the suggestions for Enchanced Steam in Finnish, woop woop

 

[morningbus]

It depends, are you into 1000 year old female dragons or male dragons?

This is a good start:

Recommendation Chart from 4chan

But you definitely should play 999 and Danganronpa.
Also, check out the VN thread on GAF.

Yeah, Avalanche really nailed it. I'd say my favourite detail is how nightttime mimics the "day for night" aesthetic of Fury Road's nighttime scenes.

Steins;Gate on Vita. Pretty thrilling if you like Butterfly Effect kind of games.

I also love how every single outpost/place feels hand made. And some of those places are huge especially if they go underground.

Fuck yes! Same engine as Realms of the Haunting, never did finish it.

Wait, has this been available on GOG since 2011 and I just never noticed?

 

[Arthea]

There will be no preorder for Be Mine LE, btw

 

[Nyteshade517]

claimed a key for Coffin Dodgers and Vermintide Beta off that Alienware Arena giveaway...over an hour later and no keys

not liking my odds of anything actually showing up

edit: checked the site again, claimed the Coffin Dodgers key when there were over 7000 left but says I don't get a key because they ran out (?)...guess that answers that

 

[The Dear Leader]

Same, probably just has a lot of keys to send out, it's taken a long time on other giveaways too.

EDIT: Just got an email for both, got the Vermintide key, but they are out of Coffin Dodgers keys so I didn't get one, oh well.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Can you play as that cat scientist yet in blaze blue?

 

[Jazz573]

It's already at ~$115k pledged.

It can be a little annoying when you're found everything but a single piece of scrap and you spend more time searching for it than you did clearing out the camp, haha. I kindasorta wish that completing the main objective would reveal the locations of the secondary ones.

 

[jshackles]

Probably US only - and a few hoops to jump through, but here goes:

Dell has Fallout 4 (PC) available for $60 MSRP. However, Dell Advantage members get 2x$25 Dell gift cards when checking out. You can sign up for a free account here. So you get Fallout 4 and $50 in Dell credit (which can be used to buy other games) for $60. However, you won't get the credit until after the game ships.

Hope someone finds this useful!

In one hand it would be nice but in other hand it is nice to explore things from head to toe for that one scrap piece XD Game really has potential for sequel where they could tweak things and improve others.

Uninstalling Darksiders II was so satisfying, annoying glitchy mediocrity.

I can't deal with 60 hours VNs so here's one that's short and cheap:

If you've heard of Key you probably already know what's it about. However, this one hit me harder than any of the anime adaptations of Key VNs I watched.

 

[Leafhopper]

Can you play as that cat scientist yet in blaze blue?

Yes. Kokonoe was DLC in the original chronophantasma and now normally playable in Extend.

So I'm watching a few vids from the press for AssCreed Syndicate which I'm guessing is preview stuff as they're from today and to me it's looking a-ok. Granted framerate goes to shit when traversing the city too fast or getting into certain types of fights as well as a few little rendering issues that I doubt many will notice. Which considering how the console versions of AC have always ran it looks about par for the course (along with hilariously wonky NPC AI and collision detection). One thing I haven't noticed is any of the hideous LOD issues Unity had. Don't know if they're using fog to mask the transitions PS2 game style but what can be seen in shitty YouTube footage has been quite smooth. Interiors and lighting are just as good as Unities so can't wait to see what they're like with some proper resolution and Nvidia bells and whistles. Of course it's a 9000 man Ubi job so chances are it's going to be littered with bugs and need a patch or two but hey at least we're back to a deferred PC release schedule so fingers crossed that's all ironed out somewhat. And before anyone even makes a comments about the colour of my spectacles I have never once had an issue with an AC game on PC that I couldn't fix myself or was to be expected regards to hardware I'm running on or relevant to the tech involved.

I hope it supports SMAA. Ubi's games are all of the place when it comes to AA support. Mind you, Ubi did a great job of tweaking Unity's FXAA: there's no discernible loss of finer texture detail as far as my eyes are concerned (and I did take a bunch of comparison screenshots).

Are you certain you get two cards?
