Bundlestars has Civilization VI Deluxe Edition for $64. That's about £50 in Paypal converted UK monies, which is the same price as the standard edition on Steam.

 

[Hektor]

Finally finished Steins Gate, loved it ^_^

Been so many great visual novels this year, but for me this one has taken the cake.

And I'm not even much of an anime fan actually. Ugh, Steamgaf what have you done to me??

Do you feel that frothing demand for steins;gate zero creeping up on you?

 

[Monooboe]

So if Steins:Gate is one of the best VNs, where does one go after that one? I'm open to more VNs but seems I started at the pinacle haha.

I'd totally recommend these classic Type-Moon VNs, but I don't think they're on Steam, if ever.

You expect too much from VNs if you think Type Moon games/Nasuverse got official releases on Steam.
Melty Blood is another story altogether though.

I think he wants good ones.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Amazon giving me the runaround for the free Gears code. My card is actually shipping and they want to play the "well I dunno what to tell you" card. I showed them the promo page on Nvidia and the webcache of a GPU page on Amazon advertising the promotion.

I haven't been following the situation closely, but didn't Microsoft invalidate all unused keys as a result of Amazon's oversight?

Probably, but I'd like assurance that I'll get another code at least. As of now it looks like the promo never was a thing.

[Fatal Futanari]

Totally worth it.

I want this game so badly! Sucks to be broke. Damn le gf.

 

[derFeef]

What's with KOEI and shit PC ports? I mean seriously Pirate Warriors 3 limited to 16:10 and 1280p, xinput making problems - what the hell? Or am I missing something?

 

[Monooboe]

Thanks for the VN tips! Will check them out!

 

[GhostTrick]

PW3 is their worst port. And because they're not the publisher, they never fixed it.

 

[zkylon]

analogue a hate story is one of my favorite games in recent memory, even as a non-vn fan i just loved its story and characters and how much control it gave me over its pacing and minute-to-minute feel

definitely check it out

 

[Tizoc]

They haven't even gotten any better.
Keep that mind as you realize that Berserk Musou is releasing on Steam in 2017.

 

[Atraveller]

DOOM soundtrack on iTunes now.

Its ports haven't improved in a decade, probably enough people got used to it.

 

[derFeef]

But I am so looking forward to this!

Meanwhile palying the hell out of Hyrule Warriors...

IMO Root Double was better than Steins;Gate. Definitely play that one.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I should use the DOOM soundtrack to get back into shape.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Do you feel that frothing demand for steins;gate zero creeping up on you?

Definitely! D:
And I'd be curious what the other Science Adventure titles are like too

So if Steins:Gate is one of the best VNs, where does one go after that one? I'm open to more VNs but seems I started at the pinacle haha.

From my experience

Danganronpa
999 series (currently only the 3rd title is available strangely)
Higurashi
Umineko

Also have my eye on VA-11 HA11-A, the cyberpunk bar tending one

Ps: is Clannad worth it? I know it's a we'll known one but I've not tried any "less serious" VNs than those above.
It's a romantic high school drama yeah? Not sure I want that for bout 100 hours (I've heard it's a massive title)

 

[Knurek]

Oh yes, definitely try that as well.

Quantum Physics are your best friends

If you liked Narcissu, think about Key games as something similar to that, only with more 'humor'.
'Slice of life' stuff, for the most part.

[Monooboe]

Been checking out all the recommended VNs and wow, they really are expensive.XD Danganronpa is probably my next one, if I get a paycheck before the sale ends.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah VNs are not cheap :/

And best prepare your backlog too cos they're typically pretty long

 

[Hektor]

Danganronpa is a good decision

 

[Gipsy Danger]

So is Tales of Symphonia worth playing now after that update? I got it with Zestiria but haven't touched it because of the issues at launch.

 

[derFeef]

Oh man I likely can't get a refund of an alrady redeemed game from Humble, right?
That PW3 port is amazingly bad - silly me for buying it blindly.

 

[Deques]

Is Desura totally dead now? Got a few spare codes to share

I also got Don't Starve keys for Chrome, but it seems to be dead too
Edit: Yup, it's dead https://www.kleientertainment.com/games/dont-starve/chrome-version-retired

 

[Mikurden]

Is Desura totally dead now? Got a few spare codes to share

It's been up and down for awhile -- "up" now and with a (new?) message up top saying "New Updates Coming Soon!!!"

 

[Ban Puncher]

Yeah VNs are not cheap :/

Especially when you factor in all the dakimakuras.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

It was known that its a really bad port. I mean the graphical options are broken, so you are playing a version between the Vita and PS3 version, while the game actually has the PS4 assets. You just cant use them, because you the options dont change anything and neither K-T made a patch, nor a modder unlocked it. The only thing the modders unlocked is the draw distance.

How do we know the game has PS4 assets ?

Someone ripped the textures and found the "high-res" textures.

 

[texhnolyze]

It's been worth playing since a week or so since launch. It's is basically Kaldeien mod put into an official patch.

Amazing.

That's a whole other level of incompetence.

[The Dear Leader]

Pro tip: Quit buying Koei Tecmos shit ports.

A lesson learned for sure.

 

[Hektor]

But Berserk

 

[Tizoc]

But Berserk

The manga? Absolutely but wait for Dark Horse to announce the new printed editions.
If you want your Musou fix just get the console versions.

 

[L.O.R.D]

Pro tip: Quit buying Koei Tecmos shit ports.

i heard Attack on Titan from them are very good port.

 

[Knurek]

Actual quote from an actual Remedy employee re: Quantum Break Steam:

Like mentioned on other topics, the game doesn't support SLI. But even with one GTX 1080 and the right settings, you should be able to get an enjoyable experience out of the game. I recommend comparing visual differences between 'high' and 'ultra' options in different areas of the display settings page.

 

[Vuze]

Actual quote from an actual Remedy employee re: Quantum Break Steam:

Hahaha. "GTX1080" "should be able" "right settings" "enjoyable experience"

But yeah, figures. Game runs like total crap and doesn't even look anywhere near justifying the amount of GPU power required. Plus it crashes when I try to run it on my TV in "fullscreen" but works on my other monitors. Anyone who buys the Steam version prior to user feedback after the catastrophal WinStore version is just stupid.

 

[GhostTrick]

That's something I never understood.
Because KT ports aren't great, people says to play them on consoles... Which are worse. :")

So is Tales of Symphonia worth playing now after that update? I got it with Zestiria but haven't touched it because of the issues at launch.

It is. Still not 60fps though. But they basically integrated Kaldaien mod. So outlines are back, resolution is arbitrary, you have up to 16xAF and MSAA up to 8x.
Kind of lazy imo to just put the mod... But to be fair, I prefer that than nothing. At least for posterity. In 5 years, you wont need to look for Kaldaien TSFix to play it.

 

[derFeef]

Okay, Humble is awesome. Got a refund confirmation already, that was fast as hell.

That's something I never understood.

At least it would run in the appropriate aspect ratio and would accept my controller inputs

Well the only Musou games I played on PS4 are DQ Heroes and Orochi Musou 3 and they ran fine IMO.

Which most KT ports does though. I dunno for One Piece.

DQ Heroes on PS4 is worse than the PC version though.
