So, a friend lend me Kingdom Hearts 2.5, PLEASE tell me that dice mini-game is TOTALLY optional.
I select it just out of curiosity, I choose 15000, I lost one hour and half figuring out what to do. There's really nothing to understand, but I was unlucky as hell.
Then I quitted because I need to have lunch.
I really hope I don't need to do that for complete the game, because the title itself seems really good to me.

lol, my brother's been playing that dice game a lot whenever I see him play it, for all I know it is optional.

I know, just being silly!

I got back into Sega games fairly recently, finding a deeper appreciation than I had before. I'll always believe Sega was a weird company from the start, and that's part of the charm. I think their choices are what hurt them, or lack of choices in a lot of cases. They have taken advantage of rereleases time and again but then stop before going after major hits. They should have kept going on the Dreamcast releases on PC and elsewhere, that would have been great. Some may not have been bank-busting successes, but even small successes are still a win.

FYI, I don't think SEGA Japan cares all that much about PC/Steam release/support, heck I'm of the notion that they STILL dislike their Western divisions doing better than they are >_>; Which is the reason why SEGA went to trash from the end of the Genesis era.

I'd like to be proven wrong and do want to see many of their franchises on Steam, even if their releases are like 3-6 months apart.

Oh, 1GB update for Divinity OS came out today btw, balancing & cloud saves.

In addition to a number of bug fixes (thank you for all your feedback!), we’ve gone through all of the encounters in the game and made a ton of balancing changes that we think will make combat even more fun. We’ve also activated the Steam Cloud saves, and we have good news! PC & Mac savegames are compatible. For the modders out there, we can finally release the exporters that will allow you to import your own models and animations into the game.

 

[Maniac]

SEGA having to cut hundreds of employees isn't all that surprising. We've seen them make shoddy, incompetent business decisions time and time again. Hopefully they'll learn eventually and port some of the goldmines to modern systems with a remaster, ofcourse including PC.

Silly SEGA.

Exactly. And now they've made their own bed as a business overall, and they've got to sleep in it.

Prison Architect will launch proper in 2015, developer Introversion has promised.

Prison Architect is currently in alpha and available on Steam as an Early Access title.

The news comes as the game passes 1m copies sold. As of 29th January, Prison Architect had sold 1,066,233 copies.

Sega cuts 300 jobs, goes Mobile and PC only

Really sad to hear about those layoffs.

That sounds terrible, this new direction really won't do studios like Creative Assembly and Relic any favor at all. I hope that their upcoming Warhammer games will be successful, otherwise they are pretty much doomed (again).

 

[Monooboe]

Just wanted to say that I miss hanging with you guys! Been busy with life and haven't been able to be here from some time.

Did I miss anything major in the last week or so?

 

[lashman]

Yep, JaseC said he wants play Apotheon

MEGATON!!!

 

[milena87]

God I hate being sick, but yesterday afternoon and this morning I was finally able to actually do something after 4 days of sleep. Yay!

Anyway, I just finished the first episode of Life is Strange and I'm really liking the game.
The ability to turn back time is interesting and I did change some of my choices here and there, just to see the different immediate outcome.
Can't wait for the next episode. I kinda hope it'll release at the beginning of March, but we'll see. The preview doesn't show much, though.

 

[Monooboe]

Yep, JaseC said he wants play Apotheon

Haha, well that IS something.


I had a pleasant surprise last night, I kind of forgot that I preordered Life is Strange and then the mail came with the key. Can't wait to try it.

I bought Puyo Puyo Tetris on PS4.

I did my part.

 

[milena87]

Are you sick again? :S

Yep. I never saw my doc giving me more than 1 sick day in the past. He gave me the whole week this time. He said that there's this type of influenza that doesn't give you a high fever, but it leaves you completely powerless and super tired.

The one with the high fever lasts for only 2-3 days, of course I got the other one. I'm starting to feel better, though

 

[Boss Doggie]

FYI about Sega, it feels more like they're going to do those F2P online/mobile games than actually porting their system games.

Yo, that's low. Don't call me american. What the hell man.

I just see games mostly having the 360 pad as default or recommended one.

No offense meant, I was talking about the style of the controller being big in certain regions.

What do you mena by okay, characters and world wipes?

Apparently, Evolve isn't just a mechanism from which to hang a companion app and a bewildering selection of DLC and pre-order bonuses. There's also a game—one due out on 10 February.

 

[Milamber]

Looks like Evolve... devolved!

I doubt SEGA of Japan would allow it

it does? I don't see a store page for it.
Also now, when they are done with their beloved Lightning, can I get FF5-6 finally?

Why is the... person on the picture saying 'boobies'.

she's using her knees as boobies and imagining what it would be like to have big boobies

Did they announce the release date or are you just guessing based on the previous titles? LR is the one I've been waiting for since I skipped it on console. I really hope they fix the frame pacing issues but at least it'll run at 30fps which I heard the console version had trouble with

 

[Milamber]

I want to make NEP-NEP an usagi kemonomimi but the cost is too damn high. All these ribbon prices and materials will take forever to collect.

 

[titch]

There's a coma missing somewhere in your phrase.

Damn I was in a rush...this better?

Sega going the way of the dodo is pretty sad

they had their halcyon days.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Sucks about Sega US but wonder if PC side means more ports. They said VC sales were above expectations.

 

[Arthea]

Today I discovered I have Final Fantasy V on PSN.
I didn't buy it, since I don't usually buy digital stuff on consolle, so why I have that one in my account?
Maybe it was given for free with Plus at some point, I have Arc the Lad too :S
My memory is faulty.

I want it on PC, with cheevos, cards and indefinitely available, I have my older physical disks too, but I want them on steam, it's that simple. As I said before, I don't mind these being iOS ports as long as I get a full package in foreseeable future

Spoiler

I want to replay both, especially FF5 and I'm waiting for SE to release them on steam

Id like to think pc side is handled by sega eu and they mentioned nothing regarding them i think.

FFV was indeed PS+ I have it as well.
No clue about Arc the Lad.

I'm like 7 hours in on FF6 and I don't think it's ever going to surpass that opera scene.

Took a quick video of gameplay, without commentary, though I did a lot better than I did initially and encountered far less enemies than I did the first time playing, you'll see some of my complaints/praises for the game in the video, my stance is rough around the edges, but actually kind of fun, I'd imagine co-op being fun as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLyH0Sb_tYM

First Kerbal, now Prison Architect. Great news (for me). I have a mental barrier against playing games before they are "1.0". I mean I'll give every game I'm interested a try, but if I buy into early access (for whatever reason), few hours is all I give a game before waiting for proper release. So bring it on, Prison Architect is one of my favourites.

Nope. Just got to vector.

Edit: Neptunia still hasn't got cards? I went to market to check the price but no sight of them.

IFI posted this update earlier:

Regarding Steam Trading Cards, it is going through Steam's approval process, so as soon as it is approved we will release them.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

This has nothing to do with that. Basically its Sega of America and if they went away, probably nothing of value would be lost from the point of view of a Sega, Creative Assembly, Relic fan.

 

[ashecitism]

MRORANGE is really MIA, isn't he doing the life is strange OT as well?

Yes, but Kubus has taken over that OT.

Is it your first time playing FF6? Damn I'm jealous, wish I could go back and play it fresh myself. Such a great game.

More to the point, will this herald a return to the one-monthly-thread days for SteamGAF?
