if they didn't like the PC version it wouldn't exist

This is what I am referring to, if you look at the date of the tweet and the blog post that that links goes to, it's like a 4-5 day difference.

That tweet is the only reason that I know that the game has a demo, they didn't even do a thing on Steam to let people know that there is a demo.

Bandais PR seems biased against PC?

S;G is a good read and well worth it. Consider applying the improvement patch too, for some much-needed QoL additions.

Oh, I will bookmark this. Thanks!
OK, they must have changed the token thing because I now have loads.

Saw this on Reddit just now:



Maybe something changed so funds added through gift cards before the sale will start rewarding tokens.

Bandai is one of the publishers that kept improving its releases, doing day and dates with PS4 and ported its entire back catalogue for SAO, I really doubt they "hate" the PC version, it's more likely that the "hype period" for the game has passed and they don't feel like pushing it too hard, saying that they "hate" the PC version because they mentioned the demo 5 days later is weird imho.

edit; rereading my comment it sounded a lot more serious than I wanted it to be, I just don't really think that bandai hates it or likes it or whatever seems a weird notion imho, companies like money and that's pretty much it.

Yeah, they clearly did something.
Remember those wallet cards I redeemed a couple of hours before the sale started? Well, I got tokens for them, so I now easily have enough to get the discount voucher.

The small amount of funds I passed from my Paypal account to my wallet the day before didn't count, but comparatively it's a small loss.

If only they allowed users to redeem multiple vouchers, like last winter's sale, instead of a single one, it would be awesome.

Well fuck me, I was going to drop all my xmas money directly to Steam. I guess I'll shop around on Cheapshark and find the lowest prices on the games I want this sale.
That's what I'll be doing.

Without that extra 10% discount from the vouchers, for most games you'll probably find them cheaper at Humble, GMG, and more.
Humble will probably have another sale soon.

Breathedge made me laugh a lot in the past hour but man it's also so damn boring. The jokes work well, but the gameplay, what you need to do to get to those jokes is boring as hell. Don't think I will be getting back to it.

Has anyone played MAXIMUM Action:

Is it worth it, especially in terms of potential (since it's an Early Access game)?

---

Additionally, the two "big" (as in more expensive) games I wanted to buy during this sale are Disco Elysium, and Terminator: Resistance.
The main reason why I haven't purchased Disco Elysium is because I've been having some trouble tackling longer games, and this one seems to take some time to properly enjoy it.

But, how's Terminator: Resistance?
Is it as good as Steam reviews are making it to be?

thanks :)

On that point, I don’t know if I didnt apply the patch correctly, and I didn’t compare before and after, but reading this right now there are still a fair amount of typos and missing words.
Considering the total word count it’s a drop in the ocean and from what little I know of the translation of a VN, it’s easily forgivable, but still.

That's rather surprising. Normally CoZ has good QA. You could jump in to their discord and report the issue if you like, though.

Well it's not like I took screenshots.
I feel a little guilty now :anguished-face:

Edit - That being said, fuck that, they have to work on C;H N :grimacing-face:

This talk of Steins;Gate bugs reminds me of just how much of a cluster fuck S;G 0 was on Vita pre-release. Weeeeew. Broken screen effects, completely borked gallery, typos...

Ugu, watching the stream on American Truck Simulator hits me in the nostalgia feels. Just played for a few hours some night but what a night.
I should play it again.

That being said I'm not looking for the parking tutorial :fearful-face:

Ok I'm glad Valve did something about the tokens! Just got 5000 tokens from funds I added before the sale. Can now enjoy the sale again haha!

Still think it's dumb that they don't just see steam wallet funds as real money. Sure I get why with the bot farmers and all but they still have to be such a minority. Like for me, I like to put in little bit often between sales to build up, so for me steam wallet funds is the only means I have to use on the sale.

Was reading about Ubi's cancelled game. Remembered that Watch Doges 3 looks like absolute ass.

Steam Client Beta - December 20, 2019 (Hidden)
DEC 20 @ 7:22PM - MR. HOTEN
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

Library
  • Add Windows drive letter to the "Size on Disk" label shown on installed game portraits.
Remote Play Together
  • The host can see all controllers connected in the Remote Play Together session.
  • The host can drag and drop any player's controller to change its slot. This helps some games where the first identified controller or the first slot is locked to the primary game character and the group only brought a single controller. This also help cases where a player leaves the session with their controller and the host needs to take over input in the abandoned slot.
Linux
  • Initiate steam-runtime-system-info only when needed.
General
  • Support a LAN event using DNS injection on lancache.steamcontent.com to set up a local explicit caching proxy for downloads.

There are ~280,000 buy orders for 0.03€ and ~200,000 buy orders for 0.04€ for one of the Winter 2019 emoticons.
I have not checked the others, but I assume it is the same.



These are from people who want to destroy the emoticons for gems, and are okay paying 0.40€ for a sack of gems. The scale of this scheme is crazy.

Are you planning to play it soon or later? I would buy the expensive one later if I were to play it later
Yeah that's the thing, I would probably play the expensive one right away but probably wait on the cheaper ones. So makes sense to get the expensive one BUT more games lasts longer! (not that I would ever run out of games to play.XD)

You sure it's just not people wanting to complete their badge? Edit: just saw that you said emoticons. There are a lot of people on Steam. Also why wouldn't they just buy a sac of gems for 30 cents?

I have funds in my wallet. NO TOKENS FOR ME! :(

Well, after farming for some hours and listing maybe 100+ cards, I'm near 1€ gain.
It's the first euro that's difficult. Let's stay positive.

Oh, I see that enhanced steam and the client itself stopped showing me the going price. Cool. Is it hard mode ?
