STEAM | November 2014 - Ride of the Valkyries

It's not like we would need more than 60 fps in a SRPG anyway :)

More like "30".

I'm sure Square will have a resolution in place for FFXIII that will apease the install base :p

It's the internet frost, you know what some folks are like. The nuanced subtlity between emotions are sadly lacking so the lines between elatation and exasperation to enraged and angered are about a millimeter apart.

I'm just pleased we get these late ports on PC at all. Helps trim down my physical PS3 collection.

I like you.

Yes! Choices!

No.
This is like that Dark Souls shit all over again. I guess this means that Square is the new From, since their port is so terrible.

Square did that "let's force 30GB of Japanese" thing with FFXII no?

And you'll thank them for it after hearing the English VAs.

Yeah I figured as much, didn't know they were non canon though, if they don't have anything to do with the story, then I'm just going to move on, I honestly thought FEAR 1 got a little long in the tooth in the middle and I'm ready for something different, thanks for the heads up.


They do have story stuff but it was invalidated by the sequel. There was a lot of weird stuff regarding the future of the franchise in between Fear 1 and 2 at the time, with the devs and publisher parting ways. They eventually reconciled but at that point the expansions had already been made but the devs had no real interest in taking the story elements seriously so they just ignored them.
 
Finished Shank 2 and Jazzpunk tonight. Shank 2 I found incredibly frustrating at times, Jazzpunk had it's moments but it's humour is so subjective I really don't know if I could recommend it in a review.

I'm going to get some horror games to play tonight.

I am thinking about Resident Evil 4, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and I'm looking for any other suggestions? I have a few others but I just can't decide what to play. :p

Happy Halloween everyone! Nice title, and we should get some more Valkyries on Steam. Lenneth and Silmeria for a start. Nibelung Valesti x 1000.

The first Valkyrie Profile was such convoluted bullshit if you wanted the good ending. I really enjoyed the combat, but damn man. Lenneth was okay, but not overly compelling or something.

wait wasn't halloween a couple days ago?

you people and your weird satan loving holidays

actually last sunday when i was on the road coming back from my short vacations i saw a sign that said something like "say no to death and horror. say no to halloween. say yes to love" signed by some random church.

weirddd

who even celebrates halloween in argieland anyways
 
I have, and it's not worth 30GB to me personally. An option to download your preferred language (or only the English one by default), that would be legit.

That I will concede.
It would be a nice option to use it as a DLC package so you can disable that part of the download and save space or whatever.

What about Dark Souls?

Oh, it's a bad port, or did you miss the part where the internet shit all over From's port of the original game from x360/ps3 to PC after begging for it to happen?

The best parts were the stories of the various characters before the inevitable happened. Very heartfelt stuff.

It's kind of stupid the hostility toward the celebration in arg, hurr durr nationalism.

Call of Cthulhu
Condemned
Dead Space
System Shock 2
Evil Within
FEAR
Deadly Premonition
STALKER: SoC (Has a couple of scary areas)
REmake hype

it's kinda funny how since gamemaker language is basically a hacked version of javascript no one ever gets any compile errors so actually having the 1000 compile errors achievement is less common than achievements that cost like $600 to do since you gotta buy special licenses for like ios and shit

javascript is the absolute worst -_-

i like the dressing up and candy part, that sounds fun and harmless

the scary stuff not so much

Obvious reasons?
Spiders and Spider paraphernalia.
this

i really dread the idea of halloween ever becoming really popular around here

i already have to do some weird circling around evil blocks

I missed that. I wasn't really in the gaming department of the internet until I found GAF. But I still don't see the problem with praising VC and booing FF XIII for being behind its potential.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Sold my Alien TF2 items (I'm not even sure how I got these, I didn't buy the game on Steam) and made enough to buy Costume Quest 2 and three other games. No regrets.

There's like 90% drunk, rowdy teenagers outside right now. Glad I decided to keep all the chocolate to myself.

Ah yeah. I was thinking something spider related, but it didn't seem like there would be more actual spiders during October than any other part of the year. Spider decorations didn't really cross my mind.

Although, if Zkylon is saying that no one in Argentina celebrates Halloween, then there probably wouldn't be a lot that either.

I like you.
I've been waiting to hear these words for a long time now. </3

Also Happy Halloween guys. I just want you guys to know I appreciate each and everyone of you, and I wish I could scare you shitless right now.
That's what you're suppose to say for Halloween right?

Sold my Alien TF2 items (I'm not even sure how I got these, I didn't buy the game on Steam) and made enough to buy Costume Quest 2 and three other games. No regrets.

You got it because you have pre order copy of Alien Isolation. Every copy came with some TF2 Alien theme items.
 
Gotta feel bad for Squeenix to a degree even though it was clearly their fault.

But it's just insult to self-inflicted injury when Sega announces VC PC with arbitrary res and 60fps not even 20 days after the FF13 port began getting curbstomped. You could have prevented this, Square. You could have done it right, I mean, the same engine was used for a game that was PC only, how did you screw it up?

yeah fortunately it's not too big of a deal right now

and i'm exaggerating, i do go out, just try to avoid it specially since there are a lot of costume stores and the like near my place

I've been waiting to hear these words for a long time now. </3

God the Evolve UI is shit on a stick.
Also making my 360 controller vibrate off the desk while I'm playing fucking keyboard and mouse is not cool, guys.

ok latest dead state patch is finally out and damn it sounds like a good one

they're adding a new intro and new crafting crap and cats and a lot of new stuff but more importantly at least we finally have night gameplay~~~~!!!1

so happy, the whole if it's night and you're out of the shelter you die thing was pretty darned awful, so this really changes a lot

very cool, i feel like i'm the only one excited for this game, i really hope it does well

I don't get it..
well i wrote it poorly so it's ok

love you anyways

Well now between the age of 1 and 4 they're adorable, absolutely perfect. Anything more it's when it start getting ugly for me, little kids..
well this one is like 8 months old so a long way before he becomes annoying. at least for me that i see him like once or twice a week at best. my dad is prolly stressed out of his mind lol

i'm generally alright with kids so it'll be ok. unless my dad's girlfriend keeps insisting on me not showing him anime

then i'm gonna be run out of things to talk about
