WTF is up with these prices

Big fan of the original game, but I will probably wait for a sale. Have the money but I don't want to spend on any videogames now.

Oh and there's a bundle.
maybe they just don't want to sell any copies? :p
The developer said preorder of the physical version exceeded expectations. It's a cult classic so no surprise. :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

EDIT: "don't want to spend on any videogames now".... I WAS WRONG

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is being demoed at GB Fes this year. More details, possibly a release date, in about nine hours from the time of this post in the stream below:

It is slated to release this year and I really hope it does. I loved GBF, but fell off during 2020-2021 after several years of playing and just getting burnt out of grinding grids. I would go back in a heartbeat to a game in a different genre as I love the characters and setting. Apparently the gameplay is being described by folks as DMC-like. Some JP news impressions:

It should hopefully launch on Steam too:

It means either that EGS games are selling utter shit overall or that the list is just for promo use.

Probably a bit of both.
I was implying the former. EGS sales are probably so low that it doesn't take much for something like Forspoken to place highly on their best sellers list.

Isn't this the game where Ubi tried to shoehorn NFTs? I guess it would be allowed on Steam because the NFT transactions took place on a different service and not in game?

They removed it because of course it didn't work.
Also, Forspoken looks very cool.

Stream next week.

Probably not the answer you're looking for but Zelda BOTW has an excellent LATAM localization
I have actually been meaning to mess around in BOTW before the sequel comes out so I may just give that a shot with emulation instead of getting a headache from the Switch framrerate.

I always recommend games with LOTS of text for these things. That means there are long games (Persona, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect when you read all the lore entries, etc). But also games that are just REALLY long will work too. The longer the game the more text you have to interact with.

You know what games are really long? MMOs. Play World of Warcraft on a Latin America server, or Elder Scrolls Online, or whatever strikes your fancy. I actually don't know if any of these support Spanish other than WoW, but I know WoW does. There's even global chat and other places where you can interact with people there.

Don't want to deal with humans? Totally fair, MMOs can be insane grinds and some people that play them can be toxic, horrible people. There are games that have tons of playtime like the Assassin's Creed games or Skyrim. I believe both have voice and text in Spanish so you should be able to immerse fairly well and they are quite long and have stories that people seem to like and can help pull you through the learning.

Another good option is a game that really engrosses you and wants you to keep playing like Civilization V or VI. The "one more turn" phenomena works just as well in other languages as in English and doing more and playing more will help expose you to all sorts of weird words. What is the Spanish phrase for "Oh no my town is about to revolt because that jerk Ghandi set them all on fire?" Time to learn! I only mention Civ V and VI here because I don't know if the older ones have as much voice and side text as the newer ones do. Maybe Civ IV and III are fine too, IDK.

I will say learning by playing videogames has some quirks where you will learn a lot of specialized language. So like knowing the Spanish word for monster or dagger or laser gun won't exactly help you in everyday life, but then again all the verbs and tenses should still apply. It's no substitute for conversation with another person, but hearing the language is absolutely important to becoming fluent, IMO.
I appreciate all the suggestions here! WoW and Skyrim are interesting thoughts because I know the games so well I could really focus on the language aspect and not have to worry about learning gameplay/systems at the same time. I am under no illusions this will make me fluent, I just view it as the next step to move beyond apps with their stilted sentences that aren't really conversational anyway.

Thanks for putting together a list! I'm really hoping that I don't have to wait on AC Mirage, Avatar, Star Wars, and the POP Remake.

They've just reworked the Ubi Connect stats screen for Trackmania. While there is 0 actual connection, I feel like it hints at a soon-ish Steam release - I would guess coinciding with the console release. That will probably occur at the start of the new seasonal campaign which is the 1st of April. Maybe they just wanna get it done and put it on Steam earlier than that, who knows...

Ubisoft actually added image assets for Trackmania to a new Ubi app a few weeks ago, and Ubisoft DMCA'd (lol) a reddit post reporting it. There's also an unknown F2P SteamApp owned by Ubisoft (leaked through Ubi Connect). But I definitely agree that its probably not gonna release until the new season + console release.

Also the Ubi app they added the trackmania images to, and the F2P SteamApp, are associated with the same Ubi ID (7015). So its 100% Trackmania 2020

I mainly want Riders Republic. FC6 is one of the most boring and uninteresting games I've played the last few years.

Breakpoint is shit, don't buy it. If it interests you just buy Wildlands. It's better (If you want to buy anything like that all related to ubisoft)
My source is I 100%ed wildlands in Co-Op and struggled to even complete the main storyline for breakpoint with the same person i Did co-op with. This is with the massive updates/changes to make it MORE like wildlands. We eventually changed the settings to be more like how the game originally launched because if you don't you're inadvertently nerfing yourself. How you might be asking yourself!

Well if you have it set to "Wildlands, basically" mode you don't get loot from boxes, enemies, "Bosses" so your gear can't be upgraded and you can't break down anything. So why does that matter? So you can't actually go onto or get into certain areas because that's still locked by an item level and weapons actually do more damage and you can get more life and get other things that are only obtainable being in that mode. AKA it's dumb as fuck.

Every time me and my co-op friend started playing it up we just went on and on about how why didnt they just do Wildlands, but a little bit better

Ill let you use your imagination on that one
The funny thing is since Mario + Rabbids 1 was the only nintendo game on the nVidia leak, if for some reason nintendo games appear on pc then Ubisoft are the ones that leaked it first, as usual
