OT is ready and will go up when the sale starts.

 

[The Dear Leader]

These sales have left me cold and dead on the inside, that being said I hope $60~ is enough!

 

[ExoSoul]

Does the card drop glitch still work? And if so can someone please link me a tutorial to set it up?
Lost all my bookmarks and such.

 

[Anno]

So Inside just patched out Denuvo on Steam? That's kinda cool.

 

[Zeeman]

So are we expecting the same prices in the Autumn and Winter Sales like last year? Any indication of that?

 

[RyanHardy101]

Yeah, probably because they released it on GOG (DRM-Free), so it wouldn't make sense keeping denuvo in there.

Hope you're shilling Enhanced Steam to the masses

and I hope the servers stay up, but history tells me that's a fool's errand

FFX is good, but with some caveats. It's stable for most of it, but has some hiccups in the latter half, which can be pretty annoying. It runs at 30fps, which wasn't much of a big deal to me, but maybe you can find a 60fps mod out there. Also, the faces were changed from the PS2 version, giving a more... well... anime look? But since you didn't play the PS2 version (and neither did I), I think you should be fine with it.

FFX/X-2 is fantastic on PC. It's locked to 30 fps, but looks great and has some nice PC-exclusive features (like fast-forward). It's well worth it.

FFVI port is blech - http://steamcommunity.com/id/pepsimanvsjoe/recommended/382900

OK, kinda what I was expecting, thanks. Will pick up X and continue quietly protesting VI

OSVR Supported Titles Now Available on Steam

So basically, another symbol on all the compatible VR titles if browsing the store / better compatibility and support should you use OSVR

Yeah that would make sense. I didn't notice it hit GOG. Still, it's nice to see someone treat Denuvo as kind of a launch window thing. I wish more companies did.

Hopefully this sets precedent for other Denuvo games too. Saw it on GOG yesterday and was wonder what happens on Steam.

Whoops, my bad. Nevertheless though, I thought it might be worth sharing.

I remember jshackles or someone else talking in this thread how there was a mod in the works that would remove the filter that made the game look horrendous, but I'm not sure where that went.

 

[Nyoro SF]

It doesn't really look like the block starting at LKS is the part of a single multi-game update with all the "18 hours ago" ones. Might just be coincidence.

Well prior to this there was a small multi-game update that consisted of around 7 games (around 5 days ago?), then we have this new update which encompassed a few of those games as well.

I'm kind of scratching my head at how so many games could be updated at once; maybe they updated their name across multiple stores to say XSEED and Marvelous USA as opposed to just XSEED.

I remember somebody was working on a mod to give FF6 PC the original sprites. Not sure if that was finished.

 

[jshackles]

There is indeed a mod that removes the bi-linear filter from the game (top link), and it makes it a little more tolerable.

There is also a project (that I'm part of and will probably have more time over the holidays to contribute to) in the works to replace all the character sprites with their SNES counterparts upscaled to the correct resolution.

BTW if you're interested, Vampire Masq: Bloddlines is $4.99 at gog.com if you want a drm-free copy that is prepatched.

Indeed, and the fact that Mankind Divided got cracked and it costs 100k for a triple A publisher to use denuvo, it's just stupid.

I will buy Hitman after they remove denuvo and the stupid always online for single player game.

Did you go to the bathroom? Do you have your credit card ready? Are you prepared to spend money on games you will never actually play?

If yes, you are ready my friend.

The experience ends with your CC payment btw. and you will wonder how those tiny sums you spent on games amount to this amount of money.

 

[rtcn63]

so gaf this would be my first steam sale, how do i know if im ready?

Go to isthereanydeal.com, look up the games you want, and check to see what the historically low prices are. If it goes for less during the steam sale, consider buying it. Also make sure your steam wallet/credit card is prepped.

 

[Rhaknar]

I will buy zero things this ale for the first time ever in a sale.

I wont say the same about the actual proper xmas sale tho

I'll probably pick up the game when that is completed, though the new sprites look significantly better when upscaled correctly.
