20 bucks for a game that old, I'd expect some big improvements.
With a 25% off launch discount, I believe.

YO, HYPE!
Depends on how long the end credits are

I need to do this. I will absolutely put that on my completed list.

I think the original non-refine version looked better.
Does it say "We done it"? No.

Np, have fun with Dolphin!
Both the DS3 and DS4 work well with Windows 10.
The DS4 is the preferred option for general PC gaming since it has better ergonomics and more powerful drivers (full button remapping, touchpad as mouse, etc).
There are two options for drivers: DS4Windows and InputMapper. Both are good.
The DS3 has higher driver reliability (no Exclusive Mode silliness), better battery life, and pressure-sensitive buttons for PCSX2 (e.g. Metal Gear Solid games).
There are many DS3 drivers, but the recommended one these days is ScpToolkit.
I personally use a DS3 since that's all I have, and it's served me well for years.

That game looks UGLY
Well, it is from the VGA era.

Left to right: original (corrected aspect ratio, some quality loss), 3DO version, Refine version.
Original, Refine.
Have to agree. Refine blurs a bit too much of the original detail, though the dithering of the original helped. The painterly hair also seemed to suit it.
Backgrounds are much better though.

We getting Princess Maker 5 on Steam when? I'd double dip.
You have too much faith. Never underestimate the amount of money companies know they can get from old fans.
That's believable.

That store page isn't giving me great hope for the translation.

Project Zomboid is a fine game with a very long-term Early Access period. Even in its early state, there's plenty of fun to be had, and I certainly have gotten my money's worth already.
Further, I don't feel like they ran away with the money or abandoned development--if that's what you're suggesting. The aforementioned Mondoids actually give me the opposite feeling.

Everytime I see Gothic franchise on sale on Steam, I feel ashamed inside.
I haven't played any of them.
I haven't played any of them.
There's a legitimate reason for that:
The only thing that can fill in the blanks in regional availability is other distributors coming on board.
I think I've tried to play them all but always gave up. Not that they are bad but I always had a better alternative.

We're trying to apply logic to a company that has historically been at war with itself since it opened up overseas divisions. Sega has a history of self-sabotaging, miscommunication between teams on a project, or making choices that no sane company would. An example of how much they trip over themselves would be PSO2's botched localization. The game is now 4 years old, with a localization announcement happening back in 2012. They went through the trouble of setting up a website, making a trailer, and bringing their A-game to PAX, only to have the EN version vanish without a trace. Sega has publicly stated that the PS4 port will not be made available in the west, while the PC version is still handled with a nervous shuffle and hushed whispers. Or the dropped Skies of Arcadia HD port that first leaked to the public in 2008 or so? Nary a sign of it. And that's not the only game that we know they were making progress on as far back as the 360/PS3 era that went nowhere.
As much as I love some of their IPs, and would love to have them available on my platform of choice, I can't bring myself to get too excited about the prospect until it's downloading in my Steam client. Their support of the platform has gotten increasingly more favorable since Valkyria Chronicles exploded beyond their own expectations, but we're not quite at the point where something that is considered as niche as Yakuza would be something they'd take that big of a bet on - if they could convince the JP branch to let them take that risk at all. Why else would Sega insist on keeping their hands completely off of Atlus, allowing the Persona 5 team to keep the game console exclusive? As much money as a port could make, there's mountains to move, and they don't want to budge.
It could all be smoke and mirrors though, as others here have stated in the thread. Maybe PR just isn't in the know, maybe Hardin spoke out of place, maybe whoever Gematsu emailed just sent a boilerplate response. Sony's ambiguous language during the reveal and the boxart precedent are strong indicators that something could be going on in the background. There's a lot of 'what if' here, and I'm just playing it safe for myself because I've lived with Sega's spectacular highs and lows for most of my life, and I'm getting the feeling this one's gonna be on the low side... if that makes sense.
Another game building software bundle? Hmmm
You're quite correct, which is why the continued lack of a permaban for Lights and Waves confuses me. Do the mods support his extremist, anti-thick thighs agenda?

You guys should get Forza Horizon 3, it's dope.
That performance though, and I have a gtx 960 2GB, i5-4690k and 16GB RAM, not sure I can run it well.

Yeah it's not great now, but that being said, I'm sure you can lock it at 30 and almost max it out. I have it locked to 30 now just for the consistency, which is actually really smooth and looks fantastic, doing that until a patch can fix the stuttering.

my favourite part are the buggy/broken achievements, including the one for collecting 100 (out of 129) diaries. 2K, do you even QA?
It is. I like it FAAAR better than Horizon 2.
Hopefully they fix the crashes and stuttering soon.

Has anyone else managed to activate Gamemaker Studio from the humblebundle on Steam? I've tried with the steam key but it says I have to have another product first?
You have to get the free version of GameMaker that's on Steam first, then you can activate the DLC.
Aah alright, that was it, thanks!

Are you talking about this trick? I did not know this was possible, I am going to try it.

Edit: Yay!
The only downside is that I discover that the Windows DLC, which Humble advertises in the bundle, is not the Windows Phone DLC on Steam. First, the demo in the monthly bundle, and now this! Time to riot!
Gothic 2 has one of the finest crafted worlds in all of gaming. I don't think I have ever played a game which rewarded exploration like that game did and it will forever be one of my favorite games. The attention to detail is amazing. Unfortunately I think for people who are used to more moderns game that there is too much "euro jank" for them to get into it. I even like Gothic 3 and all of the Risen games.
Yeah as a long time Sega fan I agree with you unfortunately. Sega and logic often don't go together especially when Sega west having to communicate with Sega Japan is part of the conversation. Yakuza would be great on PC but I can't be optimistic it's coming based on the wording of a box art. If it was a western made game then yes it would be 100% locked on for PC. Yakuza I will only believe when I see it.
I could see that label meaning they are "exploring" the option of a PC port as they often say about other games. The problem is that exploration always takes them forever, they never strike while the iron is hot. They could easily wait and wait look at it again in 2020 and decide it's not worth it because thier two porting staff are busy working on another Sonic game.
I hope I'm wrong but I just don't understand the blind optimism from some here. At best we can say is it's up in air.

Damn right.
I consider Gothic and vanilla STALKER to be the finest open world "sandbox" games ever creted.
They would kill each other as soon as one of them admits to liking Gothic 3 or Risen.
That said, Gothic 2 and 3 are awesome and all Risen parts are at least good. Gothic 1 is too janky and nearly unplayable nowadays, but G2+3 are fine IMO.
Gothic 2 will forever have a special place in my heart and I think I just decided I need to replay it asap.

It was on my mmo addict days when the Gothic series released.
It was only like a few years ago when I noticed the series, and I felt like I was too late.
