I've been dragging myself to finish FF6 today, don't think I can't endure much more of it :sick:

by the way, I already have a couple of you guys on my friend list, and always happy to add more Meta peeps.

things are heating up at 343 :sweaty-blob: :sweaty-blob: :sweaty-blob: :sweaty-blob: :sweaty-blob:


They really arent slowing down huh? It seems like they're planning to add all 600 achievements (+ the new ones for reach) all at once because looking through the SteamDB list, There's Halo CE, 2 and 4 specific achievements alongside several new ones that aren't on Xbox (I assume these are the Reach specific ones)

Man people who want to 100% the game are going to have a hard time. Not only can you not 100% it until all the games are out, but over 600 achievements. Good luck to the brave souls going for that.

So about Smilegate Entertainment, they released two VR games on the same day, one seems to be liked and the other has very negative reviews. It seems like they are still working on fixing ROGAN: The Thief in the Castle

So pissed reading about the additional content for switch version of DQ11. If Square doesn't release that content for Steam users I am gonna boycott everything from that company indefinitely. I mean how can you be so anticonsumer? The 60$ I spent on the game last year is just as green as any 60$ spent by Switch owners.

Like seriously....JP audio, Past worlds content, 2D mode and additional stories/quests for your party members. I mean how in da fuck you not gonna release that for PC/PS4 users? The literal best thing about the core game is your party members and their stories/questlines. Just one of those four new things will make replaying the entire 100hr game worthwhile.

I will give them by the end of the year. If they don't release it as free or low cost dlc I am done with Square. Never buying anything again with their name on it.

I'm sorry for not talking much lately. Busy with work, tired. Not really playing much PC games, just half-paying-attention to R6 Siege matches while trying to grind out the Summer Event in FGO on my phone. :face-with-cold-sweat:

Hesitant to really play anything with a story while I focus on that...

You know what else is weird? I feel like I haven't been truly "hyped" about a game in forever...? It's sad, cuz Square-Enix is my favorite Dev/Publisher, but Babylon's Fall was absent from E3 and FFVIIR is PS4-first for a while...

Tokyo RPG Factory pricing in my region:

I am Setsuna - $20 (from $40)
Lost Sphear - $33 (from $50)
Oninaki - $46 (from $45)

This is just one case from one developer/publisher, there are a lot of other examples too. Everyone is really trying so hard to get me out of their potential customer.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth is coming to PC in October, you can start being hyped now!
Unless you've already played them on PS4/Vita :p

I kinda feel the same but mostly because I think there is just too much stuff to be hyped for. Its hard to pick any one game.

Within the next 16 months or we should be getting...

Cyberpunk
Death Stranding
Baldur's Gate
Elden Ring
MCC and Halo Infinite
Ori 2
Spelunky 2

I really can't wait to play all of those games.

Also new consoles are coming so next year will be great in terms of press events, announcements etc. Can't wait for it all even tho I don't see myself buying any of the new consoles for a long long while.

Their Japanese users are the reason behind some of this. DQ sells the most in Japan, they need to give people a reason to double dip, sure they could offer DLC but having people full price while managing to sell over 1 million copies sounds better (I'm saying 1 million to play it safe but it could be way more than that).

PC to them was just an after thought and I'm glad that we at least got it at all.

So Japanese PS4 players have asked SE to release the new content as paid DLC but SE has not really confirmed anything and the N/S version is not really a "port" to begin with so that could cause some issues right there (it would require even more work?)

Yeah, it sucks that the older version of the game doesn't game updated for all platforms, not just Steam release. If Squenix doesn't release the updated game either as a new game or dlc, I hope that some modder extracts the new content and mod it into the original release. Not sure if it's possible.
Square Enix did release the Maxima dlc for World of Final Fantasy, why can't they release an expansion dlc for Dragon Quest XI?

i guess Hand of fate 2 wasnt success


the cancelled game looked nic
Sadly they're not the first... an unsuccessful sequel to a successful indie title.
Toki Tori 2, Tetrobot & Co. (If you consider it a sequel to Blocks that matter), Shelter 2,... maybe Ittle Dew 2? I know there are tons more, but for some reason I'm drawing a blank.

Such a shame, that teaser looks dope. I loved Hand of Fate but I never got to buying its sequel. There's just simply way, way too many games releasing nowadays. Hopefully those looking for new jobs can land quickly on their feet.

I've brought up this way back, but why don't we have a Minecraft server!? I miss playing it so much.XD
I was trying to get a server up with a raspberry pi so that my son could play with his friends. But it seems that rpi is too weak for a MC server. It takes too long time to connect to the server and once connected the server crashes.

I created a Terraria server, but I haven't tried to connect to it yet so I don't know if it's stable

Yeah can't imagine RPi being that good for that, maybe the newer one. But isn't there better options for that nowadays? Haven't really looked into it but can't one just rent a server directly?

There are dedicated minecraft server host but they cost a monthly fee. I don't want to run a server where no one is joining.
Just did a quick google and found a site that hosts servers for free. I wonder how they can host servers for free.

None of those games are Tetris Effect. And I am an impatient man.

And as I said, whether Epic succeeds or not is more or less dependent on their own actions. Will they get to becoming a mainline storefront where the silent majority will house their entire library in? At this rate, hell no. And my individual actions will not change that.
I strongly disagree with this. Whether Epic succeeds or not is mostly dependent on pc gamers accepting or rejecting their strategy based on moneyhatting and crippling other storefronts.

By buying games on EGS, you're actually telling both Epic and the devs involved that you're fine with this strategy.

I don't even like it when people create an account just for the free games, although it's always up to the individual to decide if they want to. Having an account just for freebies still adds to the number that they can trumpet success about - "we have 10 gazillion users" while of course not saying "but only 8 have actually bought anything".

The price point of Hand of Fate 2 has played a part in their downfall when you start adding the price of the different dlc's it's a really expensive game in today's standards. It's sad news because I enjoyed HoF with their particular style of narrative.

Other people here played the demo on Oninaki too? It's such a strange game to me. I can feel that the developers are fans of classic JRPGs like Chrono Trigger, but by god does the game feel dry and boring. It's like all the characters are written by robots, no emotion, nothing that feels alive or interesting. The actual gameplay is quite decent, but they'd have to pay me money to endure this utterly boring world.

I've tried the demo. Overall I like what they're aiming for with the combat and gameplay system, like the daemons upgrade and stuff. The world with heavily religious society seems interesting too, and I dig the visuals. However, the game feels cheap at times too with the lack of VA and music most of the time. And with that kind of price that, there's no way I'm getting the game day 1. I'll probably get it way later or sooner if they change their mind about that ridiculous pricing.

Fallout 4 GOTY at 11€ is tempting me :confused-face:

I blame jim2point0 and his screenshots for this.
Turned out to be my favorite Fallout, I'd recommend it too.

Is it the game itself that you can't take anymore, or is it the Steam release?

The game. You see - I completely forgot how JRPGs can be harsh with random encounters and I almost went mad trying to figure the Floating Continent and Locke's Phoenix Cave while dealing with those. I managed to finish it though, but ain't touching a classic JRPG for the next year unless there's a built-in way to stop random encounters.


Figured it wouldn't hurt to post:

Yeah this has been my impression as well.
I've played ~15 minutes and it looks like something I'd enjoy, but in no way is it anything I would pay 50€ for.
I don't know how much content it's going to have, but it looks like another low-budget offering Square is trying to sell for an AAA price because of their name.

Hello folks. It's about time I posted in one of these threads instead of lurking like I usually do.

Feel free to add me on Steam. I've got 0 friends since I don't play multiplayer stuff nowadays and my IRL friends almost never play games on PC. :cautious:
I am interested in seeing the activity feed do something on my end for once! :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-tightly-closed-eyes:

This is one sexy book.

I got my copy yesterday! A beautiful book indeed.
