Also why no Tactics??

I was just wondering this, Tactics is very important.

 

[YianGaruga]

Type-0 is not really related to XIII anymore. Also why no Tactics??

Why is Tactics considered mainline and not things like Crytsal Chronicles? Because of Ivalice?

 

[Dsyndrome]

Why is Tactics considered mainline and not things like Crytsal Chronicles? Because of Ivalice?

Because it has Cloud, of course.

tactics has as much of a reason as 1 and 2 all of these have mobile versions.
I doubt crisis core or dirge will ever make it.

If they can't even release Crisis Core digitally on PSN, fat chance of ever seeing it on Steam.

Valkyria happened though...

[Black Soma]

Kero Blaster. It's from Pixel, who made Cave Story. It has a frog with a gun. That's right. A FROG WITH A GUN.

Yes I know, I enjoyed Cave Story and that's the main reason I'm interested in Kero Blaster.

Heard lots of good things about Shovel Knight too though. Hmm...

 

[Lain]

Why is Tactics considered mainline and not things like Crytsal Chronicles? Because of Ivalice?

Because one was on Nintendo systems and another wasn't. See how Tactics 2 is never mentioned?!

 

[Jazz573]

Why is Tactics considered mainline and not things like Crytsal Chronicles? Because of Ivalice?

Both are technically not mainline, same with Type-0. Not sure why they're treated as mainline, but CC isn't.

If we're doing them all:

FFTA
FFTA-2
CC games
FFMQ (confusing since Seiken Densetsu (Final Fantasy Adventure) is called Mystic Quest in Europe)
Chocobo Racings
Chocobo Mystery Dungeon game
FF Dimensions
All the Bravest is garbage
Dissidia games
Theatrhythm games (including the DQ one)

Other Square:

SaGa series:

SaGa/FFL games
Romancing SaGa games never came here except the PS2 remake of the first
SaGa Frontier games
Unlimited SaGa sucks

Mana / SD series:

SD/FFA/Mystic Quest/Sword of Mana
SD2/Secret of Mana
SD3 never came here
Legend of Mana
Dawn of Mana
Children of Mana

Chrono series:

Chrono Trigger
Radical Dreamers never came here
Chrono Cross
Chrono Break (lol)

Kingdom Hearts series (how did I forget this)

Ehrgeiz no one gives a shit about
Einhander is awesome
I know nothing about Musashi
Bushido Blade games
Bahamut Lagoon didn't come here
Treasure of the Rudras ditto
Treasure Hunter G ditto
The Bouncer
Hanjuku Hero series never came here
Live-A-Live also never came here
Super Mario RPG is never happening for obvious reasons

Front Mission
I think Gun Hazard is the only one not here

Really old stuff that's highly unlikely:

Alpha
Cruise Chaser Blassty
Death Trap series
Kings' Knight


If we also did Enix, there's more:

DQ series (including the many spin-offs)
Quintet games
Evo
Jesus games are probably too old/too obscure platforms
A number of other too old/too obscure PC games
Star Ocean series
Itadaki Street / Fortune Street games
Tactics Ogre / Ogre Battle series


I'm sure I'm missing lots so just tell me

The updated Final Fantasy Steam list, if IX hits soon:

X and X-2 were in the recent database leak. I'd bet money they're coming in 2016.

 

[Intel]

I think X will go first, after is IX and last is X-2

 

[Vazra]

JUJU looks good. Any impressions here?

EDIT: Nevermind just got it gifted I shall find out myself pretty soon xD

 

[Neverforget]

The steam ARG game isn't working on my firefox, I disabled every plugin but it still not returning what it supposed to.

 

[zkylon]

so then, styx? how about it?

good?

 

[uncredited male]

Acknowledge your queen!!!!!!

Spoiler

Also the best combat system in the entire series

Never pegged you as a Leblanc fan.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So how long do you think FFXV will take? I could see that being within a year of console release. Especially if they let a good port company handle it.

 

[FloatOn]

yo this looks fucking GOOD

why didn't anyone tell me about this

4 measly dollars too. so bought

 

[JaseC]

so then, styx? how about it?

good?

A little "janky", sure, but the most rewarding stealth experience since Thief. No, not that Thief. The other Thief.

 

[andrespi]

I've got a question: if i craft a game badge during this sale, do I receive an holiday card?

 

[His Majesty]

so then, styx? how about it?

good?

I'll post my impressions from a few days back. I finished the game yesterday and came away pleasantly surprised.

It plays a lot like Dishonored at times. The game consists of seven chapters and each chapter consists of multiple levels where you have a main objective and a side objective. The levels themselves are mostly large and very open allowing for lots of possibilities. It's great fun trying to figure out the best route to your objectives. So don't expect another Thief with its disappointing linearity. The stealth relies both on shadows and a lot on verticality.

Styx is a pure stealth game and combat is discouraged. The hardest difficulty makes it so that guards kill you in one hit. Also, the combat itself is not that interesting. On each chapter you can earn insignia's for a certain playstyle. Shadow (no alerts), merciful (no kills), swiftness (timebound) and thief (steal all the collectibles). You receive experience after each chapter (extra for side-objectives and insignia's) which can be spent on skills. The most distinguishable skill is cloning in which you can produce clones to solve puzzles and distract guards.

It is however a fairly low-budget game so don't expect the polish of Dishonored either. The voice-acting is fairly forgettable, the graphics and animations aren't all that hot and some jank should be expected.

I also have to add that I found the story to be rather interesting. It's not the typical thief looking for treasure or trying to take vengeance storyline.

[thebigmachine]

Just ran across Gods Will Be Watching in my discovery queue. I remember the trailer being quite attention grabbing but I never really hear it pop up in game recommendations. Can anyone point me to aye or nay on this?

 

[Jazz573]

I know it's a giant list. But how many am I mssing?

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Oh yay, I just had an email from Steam saying someone tried to log into my account from another PC. Earlier this week someone in Brazil tried to log into my Instagram account. No major information was leaked my arse...

 

[andrespi]

Anyway for these sales I've bought:

- 60 seconds;
- Avernum: escape from Pit;
- Quest for infamy;
- Cities Skyline;
- Papers please;
- Sunless sea;
- The Quest.

 

[xJavonta]

there are so many open world survival games now. jeez.

 

[Articalys]

Every year I swear "this will be the year I actually make/get a gaming computer and finally take advantage of steam sales" and every year nothing happens.
Maybe this year will be the year. Ah, who am I kidding.

 

[dot]

I've got a question: if i craft a game badge during this sale, do I receive an holiday card?

You should receive one, yeah.

 

[andrespi]

You should receive one, yeah.

Ok, perfect thanks. Then I guess I'm gonna complete a few badges. got 1 or 2 games which are missing just 1 cards. Guess it's time to buy the missing cards and complete them.

So guys, what's the best 3d platformer on steam? I've been playing too much 2d platformers lately.

The best 3D platformer on Steam is buying Rayman 2 on GOG

Translation: There's no good 3D platformers on Steam. I've been looking forever.

Grow Home exists

 

[ThirtyFour]

I bought all my games form this sale ages ago but I feel like I want to buy more, I've no idea why.

I think it's this talk of Styx, I did like Dishonored...

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm surprised X/X-2 HD haven't hit yet. But I expect that will happen some time next year.

Lack of Tactics is really the huge surprise, considering the demographic and Square's porting history.

 

[zkylon]

ff9 and 12 are the two final fantasies i hope to complete someday since i never got too far in either of them, but the one i would love to see on steam the most would be tactics

cos that game is fucking rad and i wanna play it again

i wish they made a tactics 2 also, that world and those systems and those fucking GORGEOUS semi-serious semi-cutesy sprites

omg so goooood

A little "janky", sure, but the most rewarding stealth experience since Thief. No, not that Thief. The other Thief.

yeah, will probably bite. it's only $4~

 

[Hero Prinny]

wow 143 ppl entered the giveaway. ppl really want that undertale

 

[Burgess_101]

Is elite dangerous any fun with co-op? Picked it up to play with my brother.

 

[holygeesus]

Am I dreaming or is Syndicate back on sale until the bitter end? Oh Ubisoft, I don't get you.

Other Ubi games have dropped, notably Zombi.

 

[Tempy]

wow 143 ppl entered the giveaway. ppl really want that undertale

I wonder if that number includes ineligible entries.

 

[Soulflarz]

I wonder if that number includes ineligible entries.

doubt it

ask stump though

 

[Dsyndrome]

Hurray, achievements work again in Mind: Path to Thalamus! To bad they cranked up the god rays to 11, can barely see what I'm doing half the time.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I have a bit more money to spend this sale, I had spaced on Grow Home and Styx, so will pick up.

Any recommendations for games in the $10 or less range that have really good atmosphere and would recommend?

 

[Spirited]

wow 143 ppl entered the giveaway. ppl really want that undertale

It's a good game and it was a 24 hour giveaway so not that weird
Also you got to remember the influx of people here compared to the steam thread.

 

[Miletius]

I've only played through the first few chapters so I can't give impressions on the whole game. I think overall it's okay. It's got an interesting story and it's got a lot of situations that force you to make difficult choices. But it's also not exactly that easy to get into as well, and many of the choices end up being fairly binary.

It's worth the money but only if you like that style of game. It's more akin to a visual novel than a P & C adventure. I enjoyed it, but the person I was playing with did not, so we haven't revisited it. I should get around to finishing it someday.

As I bought all the games on day 1 it feels like I bought nothing this sale, kinda.
I want to buy more but I think I'll save the money for ROTR when it releases sometimes in January.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I believe it does include ineligible entries.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yo, Lucius is pretty fun, well worth the price of free.
