Why hasn't fantomena posted yet about the Kingdom Hearts news? He bought them yesterday on EGS and already played more than two hours, didn't he?
You say that as if the games did that well on EGS Games never charted on the epic year in review, while remake did and it launched at the end of that yearThen again, Kingdom Hearts might be big enough of an IP for it not to matter.
I assume the problem is budget and expectations,
You're joking, right?
I'm really happy for the fans that KH is finally coming to Stream. My respect for everyone who refused to support Epic's money hatting for such a long time.

I always viewed this one as a timed exclusive. I seem to remember it started life as a PC game that got snapped up by Sony.
It's the game that was known as Project Eve (and IIRC it was announced as fully multiplatform)

kinda miffed, ngl. It was fun teasing people like Hektor over Square not releasing it on Steam for so long

Eh, now that I've waited so long I'll just wait a little bit more for a good sale
You can continue, it's missing the Rythim gamekinda miffed, ngl.
I wonder if this is a quick turnaround related to the new multiplatform strategy the new CEO announced like 2 weeks ago.
Would be a really good sign if it was

It's funny imagining Kiryu getting an overview of SE's IP and platforms and everything, and being completely baffled once he hits Kingdom Hearts.
"You morons have left one of our major IPs as an EGS exclusive for how long!? Start preparing a Steam release asap!"

Yep. Also it's using UE4 so I'm fairly certain they have kept a PC build in a pretty decent state all along and will release as soon as their contract allows.
Well, at least if they are not dumb dumbs like some other companies.
Has been worked for long time
Good things dont last foreverkinda miffed, ngl.
We still have the revelation of how much it is going to cost still to come.
Hellblade 2 sounds like Hellblade 1 with better graphics and stutter. Game was in development for 7 years and they basically just improved graphics. After finishing Plague Tale 2 that is basically same range of AA games (same price too), that was done in basically half the time than Hellblade 2 it is hard not to be disappointing for me.
The collections WILL be full priced each and you WILL buy them
Assume the same price that the switch collection has:
KINGDOM HEARTS INTEGRUM MASTERPIECE for Cloud
ESTE JUEGO EMPLEA TECNOLOGÍA DE RETRANSMISIÓN EN LA NUBE. UTILIZA LA VERSIÓN DE PRUEBA GRATUITA ANTES DE COMPRARLO.

YesYou're joking, right?
. At least I hope so!
100 euro is better than 230 euro that's on EGSAssume the same price that the switch collection has:
(100€)KINGDOM HEARTS INTEGRUM MASTERPIECE for Cloud
ESTE JUEGO EMPLEA TECNOLOGÍA DE RETRANSMISIÓN EN LA NUBE. UTILIZA LA VERSIÓN DE PRUEBA GRATUITA ANTES DE COMPRARLO.
I probably would wait until 50% off or more of 100 euro
Are the KH store pages up already?
I want to ignore them asap!
I want to ignore them asap!
We all agree that Hektor now needs to buy us all KH Collection? XD
HERE
You'll have to wait another ~6h to have them visibleHas been worked for long time
Thankfully i don't believe in Democracy
Yes but I will pass, I don't want such crap stinking up my backlog
I have never played a KH game so I don't actually know if they are good or not
afaik it was in development around 4 years, they made "Bleeding Edge" before it (No I do not remember it either).
In czechland, two reviewers gave it 9 and one 7, clearly it is a game that hits hard with some and not so much with others, but I think I will gel with it.
But I do expect Plague Tale 2 to be more impressive work overall.
Same as the spoiler, I have such confused look seeing everyone being so excited.
I don't think it's specifically Final Fantasy, but Final Fantasy 7. A lot of people seem to have forgotten Final Fantasy 7 is a 30 year old game that hasn't been relevant beyond a Smash bros cameo in 20 years, a remake of that is always going to have limited appeal compared to something new.
We don't know numbers for Stellar Blade, right? It may just be a different expectations issue, Stellar Blade probably needed a much lower number of copies sold to be considered a success.
I want to believe the new CEO or whoever's job it is to manage these things looked at their release slate and asked "so why is this still exclusive to Epic?" and was met with confused shrugs.
Not interested in the series myself but happy for those that are.

Me when Bloodborne arrivesCongrats to all who have been waiting so long for this to come to Steam, and congrats to me for never having to hear about it again
Finally Kingdom Hearts comes to PC. Finally. 
I hope it plays nice on Steam deck. Seems like a comfy thing to get through in bed.
SB has the benefit of 0 expectations placed on it, it's new, and the first traditional game from a previously gacha only studio. We don't know what their expectations were. We don't know the budget. It doesn't have a 30 year history of comparison points, and it went balls to wall with Style over Substance in just about every regard.
Meanwhile, FF is a long and storied franchise which tries to combine style and substance in equal measures. It's budget is constantly bloated in line with Western AAA, and it has one of the most split fanbases I've ever seen in a piece of media.
If you really want to know how an FF would do with SB design philosophy, you need to let Taro have an FF budget and bring back the automata character designer. Or maybe imagine Automata with a better engine and 1-200mil more dev budget. It'd probably sell well enough, but you'd have tons of arguments in the fanbase over whether or not it actually counts as an FF.

I think it's beyond nuanced. There's so many things to consider.

The player's team will all be Tifas with different outfits. You've heard it here first.Yoko Taro directing a Final Fantasy game...
It's all about the quantity of sales you want/need to be profitable. Stellar Blade will probably be very successful with a 1-2 million sales, an amount that is very much doable on a single platform. It's when you want to sell 5-10 million copies within the first few months that exclusivity becomes a real issue. Nintendo and Sony can only do it for the biggest and more mainstream of their first-party games but they throw their full marketing muscle behind them, which they absolutely won't do for the likes of Square and FF.
This month has been packed with good indie games
I'm almost finishing 1000xRESIST and I think it will figure in my GOTY list.

We still have Bloodborne for the laughs.kinda miffed, ngl.
My guess that Stella Blade does closer to 2-3 million. I'm mainly saying that just to cover my bases.
