Someone over there must really hate PC. Maybe Valve snubbed them years ago and they have never forgotten. Just like syndrome when he was a kid and met mr. incredible.

Happy birthday mate!

Didn't they change Blitz moves in the Steam version? Definitely not the best if that's the case.
Happy birthday Uzzy. May this year be your best year yet. I'll hopefully be returning the favour of generous gifting on my own birthday

You learn more, but it's pretty much Street Fighter inputs. HCB + A or B is a move, back to forward + A or B, etc
Was a really cool mechanic.
It's funny thinking about the fun mechanics in that game then thinking about holding down circle in FFXV to win the game.
Well, they are letting other publishers handle the European segment of their business, why couldn't they let an external team handle their PC ports?
That's the way it's coming across.

Is there a way to not have Steam categories automatically sort in alphabetical order, but instead just the order of your preferences?
This is their PR response to people mentioning PC ports in a topic about Atlus teasing something a year ago, after all.

That's just Hardin's PR though (at least I'm assuming its Hardin). Its not like Atlus' Japanese branch themselves said that
Happy birthday, I hope you remain free of existential dread for a little while.
Well, if the US side shuts down the possibility of PC ports that easily, the Japanese side would likely be worse, I guess.
Yeah, that's Hardin and that response is probably just a bi-product of how short-sighted the Japanese branch is.

Like the way I see it, is everyone else is on PC at this point. Atlus really is the last holdout in Japan these days. I could understand if maybe they did PC and it wasn't having very good numbers. But their only products are publishing joints. So they shouldn't expect that their own developed titles would have that same issue.
Catherine or anything from 360/PS3 gen and up, I feel would be a good indicator on what they could get for money. After doing that and not seeing worthwhile profits, then perhaps give up on it. But even then Nisa at first didn't like PC when their first game didn't sell much, and then they came back and loved it. Because they released a game people actually wanted.

I remember reading a thread where somebody said the head of Atlus was ideologically opposed to putting anything on PC. IIRC it was something like, he only considered PC good for Hentai games and thus did not want the association.
It could be BS though.

At this point I believe it.
Happy birthday!
One of the iconic ff6 scenes. If it's not too late, you can
use Sabin's blitz move to suplex the ghost train.
Only if it's good.

Dunno about that -- I only played it on the SNES -- but by "in general", I meant the entirety of his character -- I can never get enough of the animation of him throwing his head back and laughing. In a game with an amazing cast, he's probably my favorite.

Not entering any of these, happy birthday, and have a good day!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Happy birthday Uzzy, very generous of you!
I played about half an hour of Husk - it surprised me with it's 11 GB download, for some reason I didn't think it would be that big. The game seems pretty cool so far, definitely seeing that Silent Hill inspiration. My main gripe is that the default walking speed is simply too slow, and the running speed feels like what the walking speed should be. Running for too long makes you run out of stamina (like, there is an invisible stamina bar) so overall progress of walking around is a lot slower than I would like.
The voice acting is on the poor side, the dialog is really wooden but again that could be a throwback to the older Silent Hill games. The atmospheric sounds are really well done, and on more than one occasion I found myself being a bit spooked just from the ambient noises. Combat is also terribly bad, but again that could just be the game's way of telling to you avoid it all costs - sneaking past enemies is a thing I recommend doing when possible. Also, it could just be that I'm getting old, but I had no idea the game was set in the 90s until after I visited the store page and read it there.
It's janky but it certainly has potential. I love a good horror game that rewards the user for being aware of their surroundings and for paying attention, and so far Husk delivers on that. I'm not sure if I could recommend it at $20, but those of you that got it in the Humble Monthly or that can get it for cheap via the B/S/T thread should definitely give it a shot.

Plot twist where Gaf actually likes Husk.
Oh lol thats one of those gaming pop culture things. Is that a Blitz move?

Atlus Japan seems still trapped in their thinking that releasing games on Steam will hurt their Japanese sales due to reverse import. This was pretty much shown by their usage of region locking on P4A because that game was released with dual audio (CMIIW). Furthermore, reverse import is impractical as shit considering there's huge gap between Japanese and English release, which makes a conspiracy theorist in mine thinking that this is deliberate attempt so there's no room for their Japanese sell to be undermined by marginally cheaper English release. It is very outdated thinking, and with the shrinking Japanese market, they wouldn't last long because they themselves doesn't have presence on Asia market like some companies that include their parent company, Sega.

Atlus business aside, I found some funny shits on Steamspy when I idly browse the site for some sales data:

Suplex it
Square Enix can be selective with the titles they put on Steam. Kingdom hearts ahem
also final fantasy tactics and final Fantasy 12. Pretty much everything else from them seem to be on Steam though.William Bonney
