Oh, there is now a package for the Nonary games compilation which actually considers Zero time Dilemma purchases and shaves off 10% from the 41,99€ price? I might buy later today.

Total Warhammer 2 hype.

It's all mindgames today.

yeah i think i'm done
just opened the game up, loaded a few saves, ran around, found no new quests and just got a tiny bit of unit data and did what i was suggested yesterday here, but that just got me a tiny bit of progress, nothing really meaningful. at this point this is just wasting my time and i've ran this game dry of meaningful content
i was planning on going through it all again but it kind of wore me down, i ran out of patience for endlessly running around the same 5 areas. that was shitty already in nier 1 but i've got less free time today than i did then
anyways, same as leaving the game unfinished, that's how my thoughts are gonna be on it. there's definitely things to love about it, basically everything presentation wise is great and consistent and very much in classic nier style, they don't overdo it with the nier 1 references and there's enough new stuff that i feel like it's not just copy pasting from the first game. this is the best stuff about the game and why i spent so many hours playing it, the nier universe is one i really find enjoyable being immersed in
sadly the rest of the game mostly fell flat to me, i think the characters are all kind of awfully boring and thin, the combat is really mashy and mindless and way below what i expected from platinum and i just cared very little for the big flashy stuff that i bet blew everyone's minds. like i'm sure people found (super lategame spoilers)
super memorable and emotional or whatever, but it just felt gimmicky to me, like they're trying too hard. there's like a billion endings but most of the ones i've found are like hey i walked two steps in the wrong direction so here's this text bubble saying "9s retired" or something and i really don't get why they felt the need to make that same joke multiple times when it's not telegraphed in any way and it could make you lose a lot of progress?
i think my feelings are gonna end up being overall negative even if i don't actively hate it. i dislike a lot about it, but i like a little bit about it a lot, something like that, tho i guess "world building, sense of place and aesthetics" isn't really a "little bit", but in the grand scheme of things of this big action rpg thing with a billion sidequests, characters and endings it kinda feels like it

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
For the last four mystery giveaways I've entered for #6.
This time, it paid off. I'd say thank you, but the bot told me not to.
not sure if i want to play the dark souls 3 dlc or something else
tried playing like 15 minutes of shadow complex and yeah, no thanks

I think Bayonetta 2 like impossible.
yeah maybe i'll do a new dark souls 3 playthrough
can't muster any excitement for anything else
hard to imagine bayo 2 coming to pc

it does but probably projecting

The app/sub entries on the front page should all say Dota 2 for, say, the first 10 seconds to complete the joke.

Somebody made a thread about the Sega countdown, and people are downplaying that it might be a PC countdown. Lmao
3 shells? Bayo 3 confirmed!111!

I think it's PC only. But it could be PS4/XB1/PC. Depends. But it pretty much shows how SEGA Europe and Japan operates at differents rates.
Also, it also means Bayonetta on GPD Win. :")
AAAAAAH
AHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAH
PLEASE BE REAL
Why am i getting my hopes up on aprils fools day ;_;
The meltdown would be glorious if after the first big meltdown of nintendo exclusivity, bayonetta 2 would come to steam, and only to steam

I think if I'd ever play a MOBA (and I shudder at the dark path my life would have to take to get to that) I'd go with League at this point. It just seems much more inviting, and I've grown tired of Valve's overall method of handling their titanic MP titles.

I honestly don't see anything indicating that Bayonetta would be multiplat release, that web browser game was only for Steam while they could have easily made it available to consoles too if they wanted to hype those audiences too.
Multiplat would be ideal way to go for them but honestly at this point I'm just expecting them to release the first one and see how that goes, if it does well we'll see Bayonetta Remastered for PS4, much like they did with Valkyria Chronicles.

This Bayonetta thing is a great way to promote Total Warhammer 2.

I dunno. VC Remastered happened because of Azure Revolution. This was developped by a different team than the PC version. It'd mean SEGA would be doing something Bayo related.

Oh god... Bayonetta countdown is Bayonetta in Total Warhammer 2... Imagine the meltdown. If it'd happen...

Wouldn't surprise me if they have something new related to Bayonetta coming up, but I guess I'm being too positive.
Why is the first one still full-price+20$ DLC? I guess I must have the sales, gotta wishlist to give it a go down the road.
i hope it's on all platforms, i don't get anything from bayonetta being pc exclusive...
also honestly none of these games are very inviting lol
this warms my heart <3

^Is that the Bamco game or something?
Dang forgot that Wonder Boy 3 is releasing in April too @o@
It's been years since they said they'd add more DLC and we got only Ryo.
I guess the deal fell off and Sumo Digital went on to work on LBP3 and Snake Pass.

Nope. Its an Illusion (hentai game developer) game that kinda copies Summer Lesson. Though the main appeal of that game is still supposed to be the hentai aspect, so I dont quite get how a "non porn" version works.

That's silly considering the game that leads to the countdown is ONLY on PC.

So I recently upgraded my laptop which can now play indie/some games on lower settings.
I love strategy games like C+C, AoE, SimCity, RCT games of old. I've been away from the scene for a good few years. Is there anything recent that would scratch that itch I could play?
Played the demo of 8bit Armies which was cool but nothing else has really caught my eye. Any suggestions?

If you don't mind cRPGs, give Age of Decadence a play.
As for strategy there's Grey Goo, check out Civilization series too of course.

I think they'll just have a restoration patch like any of that kind of releases.

Illusion games on Steam? We have truly ascended.

Do we know how strict Valve are with games that do that?
Let's say that the game contains a file named "StrategicallyPlacedLensFlares.ill" and all you have to do to get the full experience is delete that file, would that be ok?

Illusion games on Steam before Atlus games.
Let's see if Alicesoft beats them to the punch next.
