Yeah the only reason I was drawn into Tera was because I didn't have to spam abilities like a traditional MMO. Combat was actually kinda interesting but you're right. Questing was so dull. It's pretty much go here, kill that and then backtrack formula. I really wish that Tera's combat system and Guild Wars 2 quest system could be combined into one game. That would be pretty great imo.
Oh wow I didn't even know it was that had. I was a casual player, so I didn't know they banned players for stuff like that. :/ though I guess I am lucky I never encounter any servers issue.
You're fighting a tough battle man. Its going to be impossible finding any eroge game on steam. What about Hunniepop, surely you might end up getting the Steamy version off of Steam.
I... Never play Baldur's Gate before. Its a sin. I know...
Thanks. I have enough games in my backlog at the moment that I can pass on a discount now in favour of one a month later, at least.

Someday... There are games on steam where you can decapitate or kill hundreds or people, or torture, etc, but a little sex or nudity is horrible...
I hope someday valve adds some kind of age check or parental control and allow echii games on steam.

Early Kickstarter backers got the game for $20, later backers for $25, "slacker backers" (post-Kickstarter backers) for $35 and finally regular pre-purchasers for $45 minus a 10% pre-purchase discount. You snooze, you lose.
So am I being screwed over by currency conversions again? Cos $45 ain't £35!
$45 is £30 by default. That £5 tax is Obsidian's doing.
Have you seen GTAV vid posted in previous thread? It's outright pron. You can have it, if you kill or torture hundreds people afterwards and before the act (><)
if not? no, you can't!
I find this situation hilarious, yes.
Good luck

And the story actually changes based on the way you build your relationships with the other characters. It's a very cool game.

I actually thought that there hadn't been any posts in the last thread since I went to bed as my phone just showed that there were no new replies. It omitted the thread locked sign for some reason, or maybe I just didn't see it as I was still half asleep
Fun...as long as you turn off the give-command-by-voice feature. It just doesn't work very well...
I'm just hoping it doesn't run worse, lol
Corrosivefrost thought he could quietly hide his shame in the previous thread before it is closed. Not so fast!
Now, I see that you put a "for me" in there, but this is one of those rare cases where an opinion is objeectively wrong
There's absolutely nothing that FFXIII does better than VC. VC obviously has vastly superior gameplay, more intricate systems, and a more unique art style. It has a better story, more likeable characters, and more replay value. Its port is also much better.corrosivefrost said:

It's quite expensive for an expansion. I'd wait for a sale. I was going to buy it myself but Sega was nice enough to clarify that the pre-order incentive DLC will be available post-launch.

Some leftovers from the humble jumbo bundle
I've not played it yet sadly (gotta love being short on cash!), but the campaign map for it got me excited, as that really lets you tell your own stories in the game. Still, I've heard the campaign is quite short, perhaps only 6 hours long. Which is a shame, unless you're the kinda player who'll play through a campaign again and again. Given how soon the sales are starting, I'd hold off for a bit.
Yes, I'm definitely waiting for a discount. The campaign map seems like an interesting change.

No, I missed it, but being a GTA game I can imagine, GTA IV was one of the most disgusting games I've ever played story wise, though I only played a few hours.

..
if nobody is willing to write about FF13-2, I might.
"Investors" have had access to the game for many months now so there are tons of impressions out there.
BTW, we only have two games for next month
Just incase anyone's looking for something to write about, here's some of the notable PC releases next month that aren't already claimed.
FFXIII-2
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend
The Crew
Dead State
Elite: Dangerous
The Talos Principle
Halo:
Spartan Strike
It's a first-person dungeon crawler/action rpg, where you have a party and move in a grid rather than free roaming. My experience with the series was M&M III back in the 90s, but I'll have to give this one a go soon.
GTA IV wasn't disgusting! It has a nice story!
It's like Dragon Quest*, only the entire game is played from first-person view.
*=The first Dragon Quest actually took a lot from classic WRPGs like Might and Magic series.
Exactly the game is good

I'm also planning not spending money on Autumn sale I think it's better to save the money for the Winter sale, the discounts are going to be the same and in theory I'll have more money to spend.

We all say that to ourselves.
Since a few weeks I have literally completely stopped buying games exactly because of this reason.
I will now first complete my backlog before buying games again, except if they arrive in a bundle.
Because these are games that have already been in bundles, but that I already bought before that happened! Although, yes, for only € 4.99 to € 9.99 but it's still something.
The following games have all been featured in a bundle, but most of them I bought separately for a low price.
I completed around 95% of these games btw. The other 5% I tried but didn't like to go through with it.
So I don't feel bad about these purchases.
- Just Cause 2
- Dead Island
- Faster Than Light
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Alan Wake
- BioShock
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Fieldrunners 2
- Bastion
- Metro 2033
- Mini Ninjas
- Alien Rage
- Mark of the Ninja
- Papers, Please
- Plants vs. Zombies
- Payday: The Heist
- Red Orchestra 2
- F.E.A.R. 2
- Mirror's Edge
- FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
- Lone Survivor
- The Binding of Isaac
- Stacking
- Sanctum
- To the Moon
- Hitman: Blood Money
- Alan Wake's American Nightmare
- F.E.A.R.
- Spec Ops: The Line
- Game Dev Tycoon
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Hotline Miami
- Gone Home
- Magicka
- Audiosurf
- Limbo
- Tropico 3
- World of Goo
- Braid
But now a list of games featured in a bundle, which I bought separately for a low price, but I have yet to even play them.
I could have avoided these useless purchases by only buying them when I actually would have the time to play them.
- Always Sometimes Monsters
- Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
- Batman: Arkham City
- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
- Deus Ex
- Don't Starve
- GRID 2
- Gunpoint
- Hammerwatch
- Kingdom Rush
- Knock-knock
- Papo & Yo
- Primal Carnage
- Sanctum 2
- Civilization V
- Sir, You Are Being Hunted
- Slender: The Arrival
- Spelunky
- The Cat Lady
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
- The Stanley Parable
Finally a list of games on my wishlist, which I managed to get through a bundle.
- Mafia 2
- Saints Row: The Third
- Sniper Elite V2
- Rising Storm
- Dead Space 2
- Joe Danger 2
- Little Inferno
- Betrayer
- Consortium
- Insurgency
- Mind: Path to Thalamus
- Prison Architect
- Reus
- Risk of Rain
- System Shock 2
So yeah...
Now only when a wishlisted game arrives in a bundle, I'll buy it.
The good thing about this is: by using this "system" I allow myself more easily to complete my backlog without piling up new games at the same time.
Because in the past I bought any wishlisted game that got to <= €9.99.
Then I had to transition to <= €6.00 or below.
But games keep dropping below that price point of €6.00 too fast for my taste (partially due to bundles) so I'll now only buy games in bundles.
Personal findings:
- As soon as a game ever had a sale where it eventually dropped to around €6.00, chances are high it will be made available in a bundle in the future. Mostly applies to indie games but sometimes even some AAA games.
- As soon as a game has been released in a bundle, chances are low it will return in a bundle in the future. So when you have a game that applies to that criteria, just buy it separately when it's cheap.

Okay, I'll take care of one:
The Crew Beta sucked. Don't buy it unless you like cars that can't drive worth a damn. And stop buying Ubi games.
