I think just getting used to it that it could be quite nice.
Well sounds good enough, the support seems good for it rom the community and if I were to play online games I would just use KB/M. Does it work good for 2D games?

Yeah, I think both the d-pad and the analogue stick work pretty well in 2D games. Again, I don't play competitive fighting games or anything, but I do play a lot of 2D platformers and haven't had a problem. I hope to a replay of Super Meat Boy soon and I'll be using it.
Ah great, yeah I think I will try and get it soon, I mean it's been in the first place on my steam wishlist since september 2015 haha.
I was gonna buy it since I thought that the DLC would be sold in a pack for maybe 20 bucks tops. Probably not gonna buy any XSEED releases to support them for a while, only when I'm actually going to play it/or when it's cheap.
Also no video options from what I've heard.

Stealth release of a possibly bad port of a mediocre game with an outraging price
XSeed is sending this to death.
That or they want to see how much they can milk the waifu crowd.
I read the options, at least to set resolution (and I guess AA?) are in the launcher and you gotta pick it:

Isn't it currently the second global top seller on steam? I don't think it's meeting its death right now, although I agree with your other points.

They can actually count on the Chinese userbase. Stuff like Senran Kaguras most owners are from China e.g.

I have compiled a list of ~60 Free-to-Play games which i) are not currently in Early Access, and ii) have a decent playerbase.
Then, I have found a semi-automated way to find out which games were first released in Early Access behind a paywall. There are 8 games in total:

I grabbed that bundlestars bundle a couple weeks back and finally got around to playing Aarklash: Legacy a bit.
Really strong first impression, the game has tons of charm. The voice acting especially is very cartoon-like in a refreshing way.
Combat seems really interesting, especially the stealing and debuffing of any timed buff (a lot of enemies have long invulnerability buffs and heals you can steal if fast). There are counter plays to every spell an enemy will cast if you only know what that spell is and how it works, which is easy because you can select an enemy to get a full tooltip of all of their abilities.
The story thus far is a little shallow, but I'm really hoping that it does not remain that way as a few of the character bios hint at some interesting world lore and history that seems to be very clear foreshadowing.
Runs well, has a hardware mouse option in a config file (big plus for me). Solid all around, looking forward to playing more.

Man, Cold Steel 3 is looking great, I hope there isn't a big delay between the PS4 and PC versions.

I only got to play about 10 minutes of Kingsway before work, but it seems really cool. Hopefully the novelty of the OS interface doesn't wear out and reveal a pretty basic game.
Do we know when Cold Steel 2 PC is going to be?

I don't think there's an exact date. I've already played CS1&2 on PS3.

I brought it up in the Planet Coaster thread.
Same price on Gamersgate and it lasts for 2 weeks.

They also have Knight Rider and Munsters.
Tried running the two redists from the game directory?
Tried temporarily turning off any background apps like antivirus and MSI Afterburner? How about Steam overlay?

Sure. My issue isn't with this particular game or dev/publisher. So many are doing it these days. I think Neptunia VII launched with DLC that cost more than the game itself. I'm sure there are several other games that do this as well. If your $50 game has $30 worth of DLC on the day it launches then it's an $80 game. Why pretend otherwise?
The common
Remember how everyone used to have a good laugh when looking at the Train Simulator store page back in the day? It's so pervasive now that we don't even blink an eye anymore. I'm not even trying to get on a preachy high horse here or anything because I've bought costumes/microtransactions but man we really let it get out of hand. Looking at what happened to DLC starting from Horse Armor until today I don't think there's anyone who can say with a straight face that the slippery slope is a fallacy.
Game has been just behind PUBG in the global top sellers since release and has 94% positive user reviews, so maybe it worked out ¯\_(ツ
_/¯We don't know, but from what Durante was talking in the release date announcement thread, doesn't seem they started work on it yet so it should take a while
Tried all that with no luck.
BTW Transistor was fine when I finished it long ago, maybe Win10 updates are the culprit?
Well, but in theory Cold Steel 2 should be less work since I assume most of the work Durante put in 1 can be used on 2 as well. That said, I kind of think it would be end of this year at the earliest, but more realistically somewhere in the first half of 2018?Game has been just behind PUBG in the global top sellers since release and has 94% positive user reviews, so maybe it worked out ¯\_(ツ

Yeah, I imagine and hope that the work that he put in to the dx11 renderer would transfer over to Cold Steel 2 (and who knows, maybe other games Falcom games in the future).
Speaking of, are we expecting the second blog entry today, and third on the launch day?
Would make the most sense.
I'm on latest Win10 too, just tested Transistor and it ran fine, so it's not that. Unless you are on fast insider track or something. Maybe try different gpu drivers? I'm on Nvidia 384.80 myself.
It would indeed.

For whatever reason, I just can't use the Steam controller for platformers. And for twitchy stuff, I'm even worse. Hyper Light Drifter, the later parts of Undertale, Gungeon, etc. No dice.
I probably need to look into an X1 controller. The 360's d-pad works well on those rare occasions when you aren't accidentally pressing down+right when you want to go right.
The games have a big script usually, even by JRPG standards. Assuming that Nihon Falcom doesn't have some sort of in-house translators to start working on it asap, it will probably be at least half a year. Even with full-time work, if you want quality translations, you need some time (at least initial translation + intensive editing.)
Unless you mean the Japanese PC version. Do those still exist? I thought PCs went extinct over there.
It's cheaper on GMG today with the extra 15% discount.
Even with that, it's still quite a bit of work, I wouldn't expect it this year, but first half (maybe first quarter if we're lucky?) of 2018 should be doable from what we know
They're probably talking relative to the western release that's likely to take a long time too, I wouldn't expect it before Q4 2018
It's so far away that maybe there's a chance they manage to get a PC version to release with it but I wouldn't count on it just yet
I think he means the time between western PS4 version and western PC version. (I have no idea how the development status is for Cold Steel 3. Is it even out in Japan yet? Is there a western release date?)
...Which *could* by simultaneous actually in the best case, considering that they could work on the port while the translators and editors translate and edit the text.

I remember this one catching my interest on the Square Enix Collective site.

No insider build, and I'm on 381.65... will try the latest.
That looks and sounds really nice.
Man, that feeling when you read the description and you're onboard until you watch the video to find it out it's anime.
Too bad.
