Personally I find Harvest Moon pretty boring, but I realize they're totally different genres.
It was more a reaction to not enough Wild Guns love.

Wait for Central Fiction, it'll have the characters from CS along with gameplay changes and rebalances.
Generally you want the latest ver. of a (modern era) fighting game where possible.
Saying it is dumb to port Wild Guns first isn't hating on it, it's recognizing that it's a dumb first game by a studio new to the market. If it bombs (and it will) it could easily put them off the platform. Looks how long it took for NIS to finally get on track after starting with fucking Cladun X2. It was like 4 years before they released anything else.
Syberia 3 is today and there's nothing on the web, not even a review.

Gamersgate Spring Sale is actually very good, LEGO games with -80% discount and other stuff.
that's an unfortunate typo, it's Gamersgate
also don't forget to check if a steam key before buying anything there

FYI their Ubisoft games are UPlay keys.
Wish they'd put a special discount on Micro Machines though.

Oops, sorry, fixed. I never understand that GG scandal because I'm not from US or EU, it's almost unknown for non-English speakers. And by the way, you can set "Steam" filter to see only offers with steam keys.

The problem is the following: It might have been the best thinf they could've ported.
Natsume doesnt own the Harvest Moon series, just the brand name in West. The serie is owned by Marvelous which now releases it under the name Story of Seasons.
Now Natsume developp their own Harvest Moon game internally... And that's what it looks like:

Do many use the Today's Post link in the user pop-out panel on this site? I think I may clicked it like twice in total, since due of the constant posts it's a less useful 'active discussions' link than other forums (the first page is filled with threads replied to just in the last couple minutes).
They've got Rime for €22,39
Beat Cop is already 75% off http://www.wingamestore.com/product/7120/Beat-Cop/

Yeah I have some Blue Coins so I'll buy some more for $20 and grab it off there prior to release.

Oh sweet jesus that's horrific.
only two weeks till Trails 3
we have Stardew Valley, so we are fine as far as Harvest Moon goes, hopefully we can get Rune Factory some day too.
It's odd that nobody tries to ride that Stardew Valley success wave, though

Totally digging Voodoo Vince, certainly won't blow you away but the music and art direction along with some good ol fashioned Banjo style collectathon/mini-game action is a fun time.
Plus real time mirrors

I disagree here. Stardew Valley definitely scratches that 2D Harvest Moon itch, but not the 3D one with saw with "A Wonderful Life".

Fuck it, i took a week off because there is too damn much games and i have too little free time. I got like 10 games in my Steam library that i want to play right now or already playing, and even more to come. Nier: Automata, Bulletstorm, Bayonetta, Full Throttle, Warhammer 40k, Dawn of War 3, Syberia 3, Halo Wars... RIP my backlog cleaning, i was doing great until Nier released, and everything went crazy after that.
Also, this is more conflicting to me now to get new Prey or not, I'm a huge System Shock fan and really looking forward for this game, but there is just already too much games to play so i don't have motivation to buy it at release, just like Dishonored 2 back then. Poor Arkane, they are very unlucky with their release schedule lately.

yea, I might be biased here as I vastly prefer Rune Factory.
More such games is better, I agree on this, especially good ones.

But yeah, it's still crazy Marvelous can't see Stardew Valley's success. If they weren't so Japan centric, we'd see them ramping up some budget to make a 3D Harvest Moon with workshop support for Steam. As Stardew Valley took from Harvest Moon or more like Story of Seasons should take from Stardew Valley.
Yea, Ori, Inside, Hollow Knight. All Unity.
Unity's flaws are typically less apparent with 2d games. It's 3D games where the engine shows its issues, though even games like Pillars of Eternity can have issues in cities. Games like Dreamfall and Satellite Reign are harder to achieve great running shape in certain areas than most AAA games.
The only major 3D Unity games I've played that weren't a total mess in some way were Recore (haven't played Yooka yet) and somewhat Assault Android Cactus (would have hitches upon load ins at times, but gameplay was smooth overall).

But with BB, the story is actually a big factor.

Saints Row 2 is currently free on GOG, and you can connect your Steam account to get GOG version of SR games.
edit: Aw crap beaten. Well, you can also look at the new Deep Silver sale, I suppose.

Strange, the release date here is wrong. I know there's a preload going on, so the game will release today.
Here is a 8 hours video

Yesterday I finished Jotun and was quite satisfied with it.
For starters the game is gorgeous and quite possibly one of the most beautiful hand-drawn games ever made.
In terms of gameplay it's an hybrid between Dark Souls and Titan Souls. You explore mostly empty spaces with no enemies and some environmental hazards like lava pits or thunderbolts, in order to collect runes that will open the arena where you'll fight a big boss with lots of health and some devastating telegraphed attacks. You don't die in one hit but sometimes 3 or 4 hits are enough to bring you from 100% to death.
The exploration part is what you'll spend most of your time doing and it's what will make or break the game for most people. Basically if you want non-stop action this isn't the game for you, however if you appreciate great art direction and story exposition about the Norse Mythology with minimal gameplay this game's a treat. There are a couple of secrets to be found like health extenders and magical powers with very limited uses.
The boss battles are all varied and range from the static big guy with AoE attacks to the nimble bitch that will you'll only be able to hit once every minute since your swings are purposely slow and heavy (you're carrying a big 2-handed axe afterall).
Finally, I'd like to mention the last boss battle especially how insanely hard it is. It might be the hardest boss battle in any game I've ever played but it's immensely satisfying being able to finally beat the gods and gain entrance to Valhalla.
The game is short (about 5h) so don't let it sit in your backlog, give it a try.

I watched The Surge combat trailer, and it's a definite pass for me, even in a trailer movement looks anything but fluid and fast and combat doesn't look fun.
If impressions will prove me wrong, I might buy it later, but so far, not interested. It's a pity, cuz we need more good sci-fi RPGs.
Only now I realized it developed by Jack Keane devs
that explains so much!

It's not wrong per se, just tied to the US release date. It'll probably disappear once reviews start trickling in.

I think the console version released too, just posted an 8 hours video in my post.
Anyway the framerate is just awful, there are those microfreezes around, but maybe it's the console version only.
But again, Unity.
Yeah, I'm a dumbo and was supposed to say the US release date. I was looking at Amazon's product page for the PS4 version, haha.
The GOG one yes, Steam one is a mess.
