Yep Argentina is getting worst and worstArgentina pretty much always in the latter category for the past few years for all big publishers ... poor Kurt Russell and RionaaM

It's not like my region is better either. Most games are set at direct 1:1 conversion with US$ nowadays.
There's only a couple of good guys left who may also abandon us anytime.

Call me crazy but the orignal pixels with some good CRT shaders look much better.

LOL, yeah I hear you.
Just an FYI, Logistical 3: Earth is only £29 with all future DLC free to base-game owners. I guess the solo dev went a little ham with DLC modules for L1 & L2 and decided to just release a single platform with L3:E where the entire Earth map is all under a single umbrella in the base game. He's constantly updating the game as he expands the puzzles (countries) across the globe.
It's a really fly game if you're into logistics/puzzle games. Game engine is a little crusty but it's fine once you get used to its nuances. It's from a solo dev and it sports a ton of heart.
There's also a beefy-ass demo on the store page with easily a dozen hours of content that will carry your save over if you choose to buy.
Def a unique offering.
Side note, Slitherine/Matrix are fast becoming my fav publishers of late. Have CMO wishlisted for when my schedule opens up a bit more. Hope to one day have a big enough brain to take on War in the East 2.
Don't let the presentation fool you. It may look anime but it has zero gross tropes. It's actually from a newcomer dev out of S. Korea.
Posted some thoughts on it here.
The game is XCOM on steroids but also so much more. It also has a fully fleshed out FF:TA job system as well as Pokemon trainer elements.
Pretty amazing value (content per dollar) at the price-point.
Guess I'll just stick with emulating Dad Nier and hope this gets fixed in the future.So uhhh... About that Replicant PC port.
Nier Replicant review - Nier-ly great
A quirky and earnest story undercut by a haphazard PC portwww.pcgamesn.com
Pixels+crt shader are a favourite combo of mine, so on that I agree.
I think the remaster looks nice though ^^;

Metacouncil and anime
It's a good remaster, at least they actually painted over the sprites to make them high res rather than just add some shitty filter you can't disable.
The characters kinda look like Camelot's sprites-from-3D-renders look they used to do back in the day rather than resemble the originals exactly.

To be honest they are releasing it at the normal price that pc/console games launch at in my country, 10 years ago we were paying 60$ per game (still pay that for over 70% of new games), every now and again I see the good regional pricing that makes me think "why are they allowing me to buy a game at half price". So yeah this isn't like F1 where I have to pay more than America, and would be more worked up about.

true - some of those bumps aren't too bad ... but some are beyond ridiculous .... 200-500% more than they should be paying ... i wouldn't call that reasonable
I think it's an odd case of a job well done for a remaster, but also one where remastering was maybe not the best idea to begin with.
At least it looks fine. The characters don't fit quite as well as before, but it's not ugly, just different.
CRT shaders will never do it for me, I need the real thing to truly appreciate old pixel art.
I will always defend Legacy of Darkness. That game is genuinely good.
I willed this KT Sale into existence. Last night I was thinking how KT is fucking stingy with their games.
Every time I see these remasters that look "weird" I feel vindicated for the fact that I still keep a very old Sony Triniton CRT monitor over here. Despite the fact that I never use it and it is taking (a lot of) space. Not that I can move it these without seriously destroying my back...
Don't look at the Steam homepage for the next few days. Trust me, it's for the best.
I know a friend who played it on base PS4 and absolutely loved it.
Almost 60% CP2077 sales on PC
They must be glad the PC version was a decent 1.0 release at launch and didn't have too much issues. Otherwise it would have been catastrophic for them.
With how big PC gaming has gotten...I wouldn't be surprised if they make Witcher 4 exclusive to just PC at launch. And then work the port down to consoles over time so they don't crunch themselves to near failure again.

Only almost been a year until the last time the Atelier games on sale. And it's worse then their historical lows, at least for the Arland trilogy.
Fucking hell, I just want to play some Atelier games without feeling robbed, is that so much to ask for?
Look at this bullshit price history
I missed the last "decent" sale last year in March by just a week or so and have been waiting for over a fucking year now for the games to just reach that same price point - which isn't even a steal, it's still comparatively expensive to all the other stuff I want.
I'm dangerously close to just writing off the Atelier series entirely and stop bothering at this point.

About 15 hours in my playthrough I think (not counting DLCs), prologue was just a demo and you can go with the game itself directly

Almost twice as much as Namco was charging for 60 USD games a year ago.
Fucking hell thats a lot!

It's even more expensive than a game that they put up for preorder a month ago (Scarlet Nexus)

well with the regional pricing they did for that game - they only need to sell like 2 copies in each of the poor countries to get to the top sellers
Yes but it's basically a segment present in the final game with slight differences, nothing to miss out
One day I'll get irritated enough with the lack of sales on PC to plug my PS3 back in and play the older ones that I own but never played there.
Ok, I‘m putting the finishing touch on Ys VI, then full steam ahead on Nier and RE7.
Looks an awful lot like good times
