I am so sorry for the people that backed Shenmue 3 and was waiting eagerly for the release of the game. This type of behaviour is unacceptable so answer back with your wallet ;)

We all know games are just that but there are some games/franchises that really left a mark, I know that Shenmue is one of those for a lot of people.

This is me using a massive tinfoil hat but I wouldnt be surprised if Epic indeed wants to kill crowfunding.

Need money? No problem! Come to us, just sign the dotted line. Yes the one that says 'I hereby declare that Epic gets exclusivity over my game'. No worries ;)

Kickstarter is like that though. I've KS'd a ton of stuff. It's not at it's best with some huge game that shouldn't be there and doesn't really need the funding. Like, Shenmue 3 can get a publisher and financing. It doesn't need micro backers. Kickstarter is great though for small guys looking for help making a project into a real game. It doesn't always work, but I like to chip in to small groups trying to create cool things and help them take a chance.

They probably don't care just like Phoenix Point I assume so much cash that it doesn't matter either way, backers were just a interest-free loan
Unfortunately, yeah.
What's great is seeing several PS4 backers asking for a refund, despite not wanting a PC copy, because they are upset with what they did to PC backers. :cat-heart-blob:
That's really cool!



To save y'all from the disappointment, Humble has a new bundle full of goodies that everyone, especially lashy-kun, will love!

All Blame! volumes in the 15$ tier. A single physical volume costs more than that, lol. And I have all of them.

I'm waiting for Fallout 76 to be on Steam before playing it. Was there anything said about it yesterday?
Yeah, same. You'd think a free trial would be the perfect way to give the game a soft relaunch on Steam. Maybe they're waiting for that big update to be ready so that new players get the best possible first impression?

Should be no problem,I think. It mentions DRM-free and multi-format and I see no mention of anything region-locked.
I bought the previous Kodansha bundle (though not the highest tiers) and it's just download links for PDF, epub and cbz-versions on the purchase page.

Nice to hear about Corpse Killer!

The developer who has been doing these ports mentioned to me in February that he had several games in the works, and that these would probably feature hours of extras, so I'm looking forward to it!
Corpse Killer is one of the few FMV games I didn't own for the Mega CD.

Yeah, the work that they did for the Night Trap remaster was incredible.

Fallout 76's free trial is live on the Beth launcher.

Gonna hit install.

Pray for me.
Doing the same to see how much it sucks since I usually can get some discounts in keys for it and Bethesda games are really expensive here.

Download speeds so far seem fine, and it even has a speed throttle option (going to need it to watch the Ubi conference).

But I should probably have made a system image just in case this thing decides to delete something it shouldn't once I uninstall it :p

But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.
This is some next-level bullshit. Deep Silver is on top of my blacklist right now.
Is Epic trying to kill crowdfunding?
It's like they are actually doing extra efforts to piss off pc gamers...

Pinball FX players, I see humble has some table/bundles on sale. Any suggestion?
Too many to list and keep track of, especially the Marvel tables, the early non-licensed are very hit and miss but from the new stuff just get whatever interests you. Like Alien or Portal or Bethesda or any Star Wars. Balls of Glory is good too, the Universal pack not so much imo.

Its incredible how all these PC services/stores have to eventually venture off into subscription services.

EA with Origin
MS with Gamepass
Now Ubi with Uplay+

Battlenet and EGS will probably do it as well soon. It makes sense for them.

Steam is gonna be the only remaining client that can sustain a normal business selling individual games for 20-60$.

Hopefully GOG can survive too somehow.

So not only did 2 companies pull out of E3 entirely, Ubisoft, Bethesda and Devolver all had fuck all to show as well and the PC gaming show was a cool bunch of indies with some shitty EGS controversies sprinkled into the mix.

Unless Square Enix knocks it out of the park this will have been a complete and utter waste of time.
