To celebrate, have some games! Lord knows I won't need them soon enough.

I've come to the realization that I just don't like Rising Storm 2, I was so excited for it because of how much I loved Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm but the learning/skill curve in RS2 is so harsh that even someone with a lot of experience with the series and this type of game, like myself is just getting completely stomped and shot from a hundred meters away constantly, I just can't manage to do anything on these jungle maps, it's almost impossible to see anything, almost all the cover is leaf based so anything can go right through it. I don't like the way most of the guns feel, the unlock system is slow and unrewarding, and the overall performance hasn't been as good as I hoped, there is a lot of stuttering for me that I can't seem to eliminate.
Maybe I'll come back to it some time in the future, as a few of the city maps are fun and there have been some good matches where the combat has been really intense, but they have been few and far between. For now I have just given up trying to get good at it, it's just not a very rewarding game to play the majority of the time, the game just doesn't click with me like RO2 did.

Tales of, Star Ocean, Diablo-like (there are TONS of them), Euro jank ones, various JRPGs are action-based too. Action is just not a perfect match for RPGs so maybe people should stop asking for it.

Final Fantasy and Fire Emmblem franchise have more games yet lots of them still manage it. There's also Suikoden, Persona, and SMT.
Which proves my point, they're nowhere to be seen in the top 100. It's a good action game franchise, but not a good RPG.
Is it really that much better, or is it more of a side grade?
They put up the new version mostly for new owners, so as not to confuse them with two games on the store. Then gave existing owners a nice deep discount.
for 90 days which I missed, that's my thing here
plenty new stuff apparently
mostly wanted to talk about that weird decision so I made another thread

Congrats, man! We hope to experience that soon too.
You want to see his 10 week baby in a ultrasound?
A friend showed me his baby's ultrasound once and I lied because I couldn't see shit
Enter my raffle above for a chance at getting GOTY 2017 for no money at all.
To be fair it's already super cute.
Congrats, man!
Maybe I need to get to that point to actually see it as scary but I can imagine myself more excited than anything else in that moment. Or maybe it's me having just gone through a break up and feeling a bit more sensitive with this stuff. Just rewatched the Before trilogy on top of it ;P
Congrats on the offspring.
You're excited like 10 seconds later. In the moment that someone points at a little blob about the size of a circus peanut and says, "There's your baby" and you hear the heart beating super fast it's kinda terrifying because now this little thing utterly depends on you for the next two decades.
Sorry for the thread hijack, just excited and can't tell my parents or inlaws for a week or so.

I want no other game more than Dragon's Dogma 2. I've never been more blown away by a game then when my short pawn's lantern constantly went out because he was waist deep in water or he was carried away by birds(whereas my normal sized and weight main weighed them down). Seemingly minor things maybe but that attention to detail is unparalleled.
Same universe but decades apart. So no not really.

Nope. Does not matter at all. There are some fun hints back to events, but mostly like names of characters. Nothing important.
I think I read that its like 1000 years later. So way longer than even decades. It might as well be different world.

I just got $0.01 CAD from a sale! Thats like...$0.007USD!
Well yes. I don't recommend playing 2 before 1 though.
There are some references in 2 that do reference 1.
It's not so bad for the first few months, as they tend to sleep a lot (sure, it's in chunks, but they still spend a lot of the day asleep). It's when they get a bit older and start just doing one nap per day and are awake for the rest is when things get interesting.

anyone have blue reflection impressions?
Heyyy! Congrats!
The older I get, the more scary having children seems to be so...Um. I should've ended it at congrats.
I honestly don't even care about the sleep stuff 'cause I've barely slept for most of my life. That's whatever. I'm more worried about messing them up. What if I raise a kid that, I dunno, prefers inverted controls? Or voiced protagonists in RPGs? Or...anime?
Not yet, but i'm planning to buy it today or tomorrow since it does look like an OK port, especially by KT's standards

Well... There's one solution if that ends up being the case

I'm watching someone stream it right now. He described it as having a Sailor Moon like vibe, and I love SM so that basically sold me. It looks pretty fun.

Why do companies post crazy system requirements? Just played the Dagonronpa 3 demo on my Surface Pro 2 which is way under them and it was perfectly playable at 1080p despite framerate drops during the trial segment.

System requirements are set to according to PC setups they've actually tested on. Apparently, Japanese companies don't have variety PC setups with them. Especially when it comes to PC ports, the ones handling them aren't the developer, but only a small company branch in the West, or even an outsourced one. So for example, if they only have a gtx 970 PC with them and a gtx 1080, they'll only post them as the minimum and recommended system requirements.
