Inazuma Eleven is a football anime series.
The exaggeration is jsut a rule of cool and the game's are inspired by the Captain Tsubasa games of the 80s and 90s.

Have any details leaked about the upcoming Chinese New Year's sale, in terms of how things will work (will there be discount vouchers?)?

thanks

Thanks. :)

I was going to purchase a game that launched today, but now I'm wondering if it would contribute to a possible discount voucher.
Then again, considering the last winter sale, and considering purchases made with wallet funds didn't count (and the money I will use is in my wallet, and it was not from a deposit or redeeming a gift card, but from selling cards and items on the marketplace), I guess it wouldn't make a difference. ;)

For those following Half-Life: Alyx, an event notification went out earlier stating that the whole Half-Life series was free to play until Half-Life Alyx is released:


It got deleted instantly, so I'm thinking the announcement might come later today. Maybe with news about HL: A.


Yea can confirm, Got the notification last night.

Continuing my twitter mumblings, and to further sound like an old fart, it's funny how one doesn't follow certain accounts, and yet I still open twitter, and get flooded with messages from accounts I don't have any desire of following (sometimes because someone re-tweeted something, but others just because someone I follow happens to follow that account, and twitter thinks they need to recommend me those accounts).

Case in point, Devolver. Yeah, I know a lot of people find them funny (personally, I had my share of Mike Wilson while he was using the Gamecock Media umbrella; different name, same "edgy" crap), but I can't say their shtick works with me.

Anyway, I open twitter, and I get this:


"So yeah guys, please forget about all the bullshit we spilled when we made Observation a last-minute EGS exclusive, and then "preached" how people should care about important stuff instead.
Now, can you please wishlist the game on Steam?"

:grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I blocked their twitter account, hopefully that will stop their crap from showing on my feed.

FunktionJCB I never was big on social media but growing pretty tired of the bullshit that greets me when I open my feed.
Although I'm more lucky in that it's overall some past interests that keep spamming things I don't care that much about (pen & paper rpg scene is tweeting like there is no tomorrow for example). I delete a lot :evilblob:
I often hesitated to do it, FOMO basically, but then realized those tweets were actively devaluing the little pleasure I had there. Sometimes there is nothing wrong to cut ties with something or someone you like, you don't need to be linked 24/7 to everyone.
The pleasure I felt when deleting Wired spam machine was indescribable.

That being said, lashman propaganda is making me a communist ! I'm cool with this, comrade :photoblobheart:

I've finally started the Ys series with Ys I and I just wrapped it up during the weekend. I got lost a few times so I had to look up what to do and now I'm playing the sequel with a guide. I really like the general tone and gameplay. Bump combat is surprisingly fun apart from some tedious bosses. That final boss is some bullshit, I don't wanna now how hard it would be on higher difficulties.
I'm also really tempted to just skip to Ys 8 after Durante fixed the port but I want to at least play through Origin and Oath of Felghana first.

On another note: What's EA taking so long to bring their games back on Steam? I'm feeling the itch to replay Titanfall 2 but with Steam achievements this time. Apex Legends Season 4 is supposed to launch sometime in February so I'm guessing that will be the first EA game to come back to Steam in 2020.

Falcom excel(led?) at taking a simple gameplay mechanic and still manage to keep you engaged for hours on end.

I never bite the bullet on Xanadu, is it comparable to Ys ?

Edit - I will get hate PMs for that :fearful-face:
Let's have some more fun : Hektor I never played any Yoko Taro game :cat-pizza-blob:

It's so good. It's so, so good. It's like if Ys and Dark Souls had a lil baby who liked to carry swords. It also plays really nicely with controller, especially once you adjust it a bit with Steam Input.

I love Xanadu Next, but that's the one game I wouldn't play with a controller. It's heavily mouse driven and it shows when you use a controller, not unlike Gurumin where the precise targeting becomes veeery unresponsive due to autotracking.
It feels (because... it is) like a PC-ass dungeon crawler, from the time when they had actual level design, traps and secrets. Like an old Diablo but with real loot and magic, and zero fats on the bones. It's to the point.

It's unbelievably ugly even for the time though. The character models are some of the worst I've seen (I won't post the important late character's face that is immersion ruining).
Look at this poop:

must be selling great :p

the funny thing is - even if they come back to steam with this game (which they probably won't) ... it's gonna be $60 on steam ... that's the ubi way
I'm actually interested in The Division - I'm a sucker for snow-swept environments and TD2 does nothing for me visually. Thing is... It's still pretty insanely priced despite a tantalizing historical low last February.

Sorry, I wanted to reply to your post but I decided to go fight predatory loans instead.

Hope you're having fun! Out of the few Ys I've played, 2 was my favorite. Being able to speak with every enemy is great.

This looks like a sluggish 7/10 early gen game people only play because the new consoles dont have a big library yet.

What exactly does it mean when I get "Query account by CD key" email?
Someone got a duplicated key, which was used by you, then this person clicked on the 'retrieve account' option that is shown in the duplicate key screen instead of just closing it.

This looks like a sluggish 7/10 early gen game people only play because the new consoles dont have a big library yet.
You're being generous giving it a 7 from this video

I beat Dark Fact in Nightmare and it's some crazy shit. The interesting thing is that the boss looks like completely random bullshit at first glance, but is actually anything but random. After practicing some on Nightmare I went back to Normal and could beat him consistently without breaking a sweat.

People have short term memory and Devolver is lucky their PR "gaffe" never really took off due to it being a Discord chat.
Never forget.
Devolver helping out indies is cool and all but their attitude with EGS should not be put aside.
I don't want these indies to suffer because of Devolver, but Devolver should know when to stop 'keepin' it real' and just take the formal approach.

Bandai is going all inn on Steam it seems, Kakarot, Captain Tsubasa, Idolmaster and so on. I assume this means there's a huge change that they won't go Epic exclusive with Elden Ring.

Also, seems like I need to return to FTL:
