Is there even a Japanese language option for steam? And if so how many games have Japanese translations?

From what I've seen at least I'd assume the vast majority of games on Steam are in English with maybe some French and Spanish options here and there. Considering Steam's biggest audience is likely English readers/speakers.
 
No Steam version is disappointing.

That sounds like a good amount of new content. I'm really interested in seeing where these new areas fit in.

Hopefully it doesn't take long to bring that content to the console versions. I still haven't started my NG+ playthrough yet, but watching that trailer got me excited to jump back in.
 
I rather wish they hadn't announced that Artorias would be a boss and instead left it for a surprise. That's kind of a big deal.

I don't know how common it is to have a Japanese option, but Sonic Generations has one. It's likely Binary Domain will, too, since that's being ported by the same developer.

Reason alone not to buy the game :3
 
am I only 1 who hasnt been raped by gfwl?

I had no issue with it in fallout 3 (once mods were out I didnt enable it anymore) and dead rising 2 never had a problem. Its just clunky to have 2 layers of "gaming services" I guess.
 
GFWL won't stop me from buying the game, but they need to know this is wrong. GFWL brings one or two nice features to the party, but then also the worst features of a console.

Oh, is there some game-breaking bug 90% of users encounter? Just wait 6 weeks for the patch to go through Microsoft's certification.

I've never had a huge issue with it, but it defiantly sucks.
 
Ive never had an issue with GFWL as it has never done me any wrong...but I am suprised that any dev would still use it based on all the hate it receives and the love that Steam gets.

Im guessing this will just be a port of the 360 version then with little change to the netcode.

It's not just about how unreliable it can be for the final user.
It's also about how it would fuck up any eventual long term support for patches and stuff.
 
Sweet! I've never had ANY problems with GFWL, so this doesn't bother me at all. Plus getting some achievements is nice too. :) Maybe I finally can beat Ornstein and Smough. :p
 
I don't think you understand the point of the online system of this series.

Obviously From doesn't understand it either, because they're putting matchmaking into the game.

Maybe YOU don't understand the point of the online system.

I loved playing Dark Souls and Demon's Souls by myself, but being able to play online with my roommate would be stellar.
 
I expected GFWL tbh... They'd have to redo the network stuff otherwise.

That actually makes quite alot of sense =)
I just hope that elements like this will be taken into consideration, if the game sells less than anticipated. Not that it stops me, but pretty sure alot of people will get thrown off if it's gfwl + lazy port.

I mean as long as we get DS2 on PC aswell :p

The whole patching situation is really sad.
 
The Japanese seem to be completely mystified by the internet. Look at Sony's attempts to build an online infrastructure for PS2. How late Sony was to get online for PS3 working well this gen. Look at Nintendo today.

Someone else mentioned that xbox live is the most popular online gaming service in Japan. That just shows how out of touch with the internet they are. The xbox itself isn't very popular in Japan, so it is kind of telling if xbox live is the most popular gaming service. And apparently the Japanese public has no idea what Steam is.

They have one of the fastest INET backbones in the world, yet strangely enough they can't figure out what the rest of the world wants for a online service, how to build and manage it, and who and who not to support.
 
My worry about GFWL is that it's not going to be around in like.. next year or so. MS clearly does not give a shit about it and devs should not either. Steamworks at least is probably around in a couple of years to do the matchmaking and stuff.

Incredibly excited about this! Played the game on PS3 and really enjoyed it, but the Blight Town framerate, annoying design and infrequent fireplaces turned me off. The framerate part should be fixed, but the design still stands. Maybe i'll take another stab at this regardless.
 
Wait it's not even going to be on steam at all? I figured it would at least be on Steam but just require GFWL like the rest of the games that use it.
Oh, you are probably right right. It should still be available through steam, but I was kind of hoping for Steamworks support

Holy shit, lots of new stuff!

I haven't had a game breaking issue either but that doesn't make it a legitimate service. There's plenty of complaints against it and even MS doesn't really support it anymore, only a few clueless japanese companies and the Batman devs (who are starting to change that. Arkham City had steamworks features on top of the gfwl shit)
 
There are seriously no words to tell how excited I am for this.

I just hope this comes to the PS3 version.
I will gladly pay $60 for this content. Please, no bullshit Namco.
 
I wouldn't. What's the big deal with matchmaking? Is that new?

On ps360, there's no real way to co-op with a specific friend. No lobby, no way to use you friends list to invite someone, etc. You have to put down a summon sign and hope it appears on your friend's server so he can summon you in his world.

To be honest, I didn't have a lot of problems finding my friends: we just went Sunbros all the way, and always saw each others's summons signs. But not everybody has been that lucky.
