that's the kind of exclusivity i can deal with
I can deal with it as well, in terms of waiting time.
But I'm really starting to ask myself: do I want to?

I mean, apparently it's too much to ask that developers release their games on the multiple PC stores at the same time.
This is really starting to piss me off, in the sense that I'm starting to lose interest in supporting most of these indie developers, like I usually do.

I'm the kind of guy that is more likely to buy indie titles on day one, than big ones, instead of waiting for cheap bundles, because I like to support the efforts of the "little guys". But, with many of them going out of their way to make my buying experience as painful and downright annoying, not to mention this ridiculous attempts to dictate where and how I purchase my games, I really have to ask myself why I should put up with this, and support them?

Especially since I have a big backlog that I can easily turn to, my gaming time is shorter and shorter as the years go by, and I have other hobbies (like cinema, music, ...) where to spend money on.
 
I love how exclusivity periods just keep dropping in length. How low can you go?
the kartridge ones were always +- months


leaky leaky leak

Outward had the most hilarious one. Exclusive...preorder.
Mind you, they even made sure they would offer the preorder bonus for a entire week on the Steam release. So it was literally the most pointless exclusivity I've ver seen.

Fewer leaks and fewer early announcements. I think this is pointing toward a light E3.
Probably on PC side, EGS exclusive games are keeping as tight lipped as possible. I think some aren't even running conferences (like Sony)? I might be wrong about that, I usually don't pay attention to any E3 conference except Nintendo's.

they all are ... it's just that sony and ea won't technically be "directly" at e3 ... just somewhere near :P

That Fanatical bundle is really freaking great. Fanatical really has been the best bundle site for the last couple of years.
Yeah, will be buying exclusively for Republique and Snake Pass, everything else is a bonus for me.
 
Soul Calibur V is already so cheap at gmg. I've lost interest in fighting games many years ago but I'm definitely getting this one when I have the money. SC used to be one of my favorites and having Geralt and 2B in it is so cool.

That's how I look at indies too. It's easy to pick up a smaller game for $20 because it fits neatly into my life, like where it's not asking for 80 hours and $60 and a hundred GB of space. Like Hades I would've already picked up, if I either trusted the Epic store and they weren't so weird, or if it were on Steam and they weren't screwing with exclusivity. I can't even wishlist and remember it that way. So lost sale there, I most likely will let it drop off my radar and someday go "oh yeah, that one!" in some Humble Bundle. But yeah, $2M from Epic, or $.30 from people like me? I can see their point.

I'm almost positive that happened because they originally planned on making another deal with Epic for that game but the Metro reaction blew up so hard it scared Deep Silver and this was the best Epic could get out of them.
 
Feck me, how do I delete a message notification from someone I've deleted? So annoying.
 
While they have resolution options, Atelier Rorona and Meruru's internal resolution is still 1080p despite what you set (and so the games look very aliased even at high resolutions, they're still running at 1080p after all).
For some reason, only Totori runs properly at the selected resolution.

There are users that have tried to mod Rorona/Meruru to run properly at different resolutions, but, they haven't been able to do it without breaking the UI...

I went into the Tech Support thread on Steam Community and K-T didn't seem to acknowledge it was an issue, which is regrettable. I saw your posts as well in one of the threads. The games are in DX11 too so we can't really use dgVoodoo and such to get around it.

Tizoc How's Team Sonic Racing?

I really enjoyed Transformed, but everything I see about this game seems less appealing to me.
The focus on Sonic characters only, instead of various Sega properties, doesn't sound as appealing to me, not because of the drivers, but because of decreased variety in stages and soundtrack tracks.

Is it worth it?
How much content is there, in terms of stages, modes, ... ?

thanks ;)

Or Deep Silver got greedy and asked for more than even Epic was willing to cash out.

Return to a Midgar like you’ve never seen before, in this faithfully remastered graphics mod for Final Fantasy VII (PC). The Remako HD Graphics Mod features improved graphics with 4x the resolution of the original. This was accomplished by using state-of-the-art neural networks to upscale the game’s graphics. The mod improves the quality of among other things the pre-rendered backgrounds, battle, world textures, as well as the game’s full-motion videos (FMVs). Remako is also compatible with many other mods, such as The Reunion (R03C) or 3D model mods, for the ultimate Final Fantasy 7 experience. Remako Mod is compatible with all PC versions of FF7: the CD original, the Square Enix Store version and the Steam release. You can find the download links, installation instructions, screenshots and much more over at: Final Fantasy VII Remako mod

After a couple of hours I think it's a worthy sequel, there are different types of stages in the single player side (drifting, catching rings). I have only completed the first set of stages so I don't know if there are more types. For now it's a fun game, not as good as MK8 but not bad either.
 
Thanks for your feedback, Echoes . (y)

In other news, the remastered version of the first Nelly Cootalot game just launched on Steam:


I am happy to help ;)

One thing I forgot to mention is that there is a great emphasis on teams, you and your two AIs (I hope they release a patch to be able to do it with Steam friends online) battle against other 3 teams. During the race you can slipstream and boost off your teammates, it's a neat touch and the possibility of doing it online with friends can be a blast.
 
There's already a Steam mobile app for all of that, isn't it? I use it and it's pretty handy.


Yes exactly! I didn't say it very well but I was trying to say they already have a product that does what I need. This new one ain't it.
