listen to the mad man
Anyone who says ZTD sales on Steam are too low is out of their goddamn mind. Why would people buy the third game in a series when the first two aren't on the platform yet and there actually is a story link between them all?

also 21k * $40 in the first 4 months is actually quite good for one platform for a dirt cheap game developed by a skeleton crew with tons of cost-cutting measures baked in??

I wonder how much the game sold on 3DS and Vita in west.



I never believed in sega.
They left us.


I believed they'd announce sth no one wants... They announced nth :"(


I just want an announcement st this point
WHERE IS THE BLOODY ANNOUNCEMENT?!?!?!?!?!?!


I wonder if they bailed out after Lost World. If they did, they're the most stupid company I ever seen.

I think also Steamspy has shown that many people way overestimate how popular their favorite niche games are in general.

No Steam it seems.

The problem here is the wording. They call it an exclusive.

They have already essentially confirmed it is coming to PC. The exclusivity refers to the pack and a PC version wouldn't appear on a PS Blog anyways.

By the way, we exceeded the previous times where SEGA announced a PC port. No PC port this year ?

There's no explicit date for announcements.

Yeah, I also realized that Aksys never ever marketed or mentionned the Steam version, even removing the Steam logo in the English trailers.

As for explicit date, that's right, but there always was a pattern. Typing of the Dead, Valkyria Chronicles and Sonic Lost World all were announced in October.

The wording could be interpreted as "the 2-pack called The Nonary Games is exclusive to PS4/PSV". It probably makes more financial sense to release them this way physically. I'd be shocked if 999 and VLR didn't come to Steam at all. They'd essentially be killing the long-term sales of ZTD.
Technically, it's just the pack that is said to be exclusive. The phrasing is probably deliberate.
That's how I read it as well.

Hmmmm... Can't log-in to the store through browser. It says to "Verify my humanity by" something something.

Interestingly, I noticed I was logged out by seeing something called "Family View" in the corner. "Some parts of the website may be inaccessible, please log-in to change settings" or words to that effect.

Edit: Seems fine now, though. *shrugs*

SEGA in general has been taking a more "it's ready when it's ready" approach to games as of recent, focusing on quality over rushing a game out.

I think the last time they talked about console to PC ports was in the Gamescom livestream, where they mentioned that they'll be able to talk more about them "soon", that they have multiple projects that they're working on and that ensuring a quality port takes time.

This much gratuitous violence shouldn't be this satisfying but..

it

just

is.

I love SE2, it's the only one I played and the visual feedback to sick mlg snipes is amazing. I just wish/hope that in future games they go far enough in design/presentation to set up shit like a full on "The End" extended counter-sniper scenario.

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.

"Show games tagged as Adventure, but not Action or Strategy"

Strangely enough, this is using Steam's own interface handling, none of these search results are being post-processed.
 
I'm planning on buying DmC before the sale is up. Any mods I should be aware of to make the game more like the Definitive Edition on consoles?

Been meaning to play it, and this reminded me to at least install it

Watch them dump it into the supposed store update along with other things in Enhanced Steam :p

Swery starts a new studio and works out a publishing deal with Devolver Digital. Swery and his team of talented developers starts working on that weird ass lady detective game, which eventually releases in mid 2018. The critics are over the moon. The game generates some serious dough. Swery signs another publishing deal with Devolver Digital. Swery and his team of battle hardened developers starts working on what will eventually be known as Swery's magnum opus, the spiritual successor to Deadly Premonition.

The Sniper Elite 3 DLC ends with a scenario like that.

I saw a screenshot in here a while back of someone with their library automatically categorized into genres and such, but can't remember any details. What's the best way to do that?
