Fuck it, who needs a PS5 when you have just paid for your Steam Deck.

While still a passionate minority, you know shit’s getting real when Japanese enthusiasts are hoping for a PC port of a mainline single player FF game.
It gives me hope that one day all games will be free from console garbage.

Right now Valve is in a unique position.
From what I remember there have been some reports that Sony only has like 10% of the console "pie" in Japan while Nintendo has more than 80%.
The issue with Nintendo how ever is that certain games just won't be on it (or will be a cloud version)
Xbox despite it's best efforts still is not that popular in Japan.
Which leaves us with Valve.
Steam has and continues to be popular in Japan (some gaming PC even come with Steam pre-installed on them. Valve does need to change some stuff since the Pre-installed Steam is in English so even setting up your account is in English. )
So you also have a Steam Deck where the cheapest one is now the price of a PS5?
You have games that sometimes also skip PS5 (where is Octopath and where is Monster Hunter Rise?)
You also get cheap sales.
I can go on and give some more details later but yeah, things are not looking good for Sony, there is only so much that Nintendo can do and now you have this other company that Sony and Nintendo don't really view as competition.
I think I'm at the point where all the TLoU remake comparisons have won me over. I still think a port of the original would've been fine but I'm sold on the remake being a better option. Can't wait for the PC release to finally replay it! I only ever played it once back when it first launched on PS3 so it's been a while.
Final Fantasy 16 will release on Steam six months after the EGS version.
With all the games that are released on a daily basis on Steam, I'm willing to wait.Final Fantasy 16 will release on Steam six months after the EGS version.
Got answer from them in their Discord server. The answer was that they got the loyalty discount to work if owning the first game. So the bundle was removed
The bundle was there in first place since they weren't able to have the loyalty discount when the game was released
This looks familiar... mmmh.. looks like its based on this open source blockchain game
Shame. Could've gotten more people to buy their game if they just left it up for a week.
who needs $70 "AAA" crap when you have so many awesome indie games
Doing god's work my good sir.who needs $70 "AAA" crap when you have so many awesome indie games

Same. Games being locked to a certain brand or even model of hardware don't make sense for me anymore. Especially after becoming a patient gamer.
Bargain!
Hogwarts Legacy preorders are up. Outside of the usual terrible regional pricing, the game isn't available in Turkey. Additionally, I was browsing Twitter and the Turkish EGS version is 9,999 TL.
Everything is coming together...Nintendo using Denuvo, Sony increasing prices...soon PC will rule over them all

This post right here is super interesting and yes, we are noticing that Steam is growing in Japan at its own pace, which is amazing.
Highly doubt by then. If you ask me, we will see another Forspoken situation with this one (Multistore release)Final Fantasy 16 will release on Steam six months after the EGS version.
Activision sales are always depressing. Sekiro is 3 years old already, they can give a discount higher than 50%.
I'll complete the backpack challenge for this month, I think it's easy enough.
But the best game of the past/current gen is still console exclusive Judgment and the sequel…
WOW That Wanted: Dead gamescom demo was basically John Wick + Devil's Third + WET and it also seems like it's screaming for combo video makers to make dank combo videos (which is the cornerstone of all millienial youtube video habits imo) of it. Probably will be the next Yakuza style rise to popularity. Looking forwards to Queen multitude of giveaways of this game.
That game is going to be soooo dank it's mind altering. Either it'll be Yakuza style success story or Sleeping Dogs cult classic either way gonna be dank fucking game

They put out a new trailer for Eiyuden Chronicles (the RPG that's not out yet) as part of Gamescom. Shows the sprites over 3D backgrounds look quite a bit more. It's a very unique style. I can't decide if I'm in love with it or not but it sure is striking especially in motion .
Game is still at least a year away tho.

This seems to confirm what I had assumed that they will be selling Steam Deck at physical stores in Japan, just like they did with Valve Index....... So the Steam Deck may actually end up being "cheap" in Japan.
So what has happened is because retailers control the price they can put the Steam Deck in Sale (Valve still hasn't had a sale on the Valve Index, but multiple retail stores in Japan already have)
That was a very common artstyle for handheld games starting with the DS.
And I think it looks quite good, scales pretty well with modern tech too, like Octopath. As long as sprites are large and detailed enough that is, else it looks a bit weird. Seems like Eiyuden does it correctly.
Konami bringing some more classic games to Steam:
I didn't know you could buy feelings! Take that therapy!
Out now.

Do the reviews look super weird to everyone or is it just me? This isn't the first game I've checked out where a lot of the reviews are just... weird. They feel like they're AI generated almost. But the accounts posting them are not new at all, and have hundreds or thousands of games, so unless they're paid off or hacked it doesn't make sense. It just throws me off because they read just like paid reviews on Amazon for stuff - 3-4 sentences, using keywords from the game description, saying it's good, and throwing random adjectives on there.
