I'm not sure if this has been posted here but GungHo (Grasshopper Manufacture, Game Arts, Acquire) are planning to release their stuff on PC. They're testing the waters with Dokuro on greenlight:

Be sure to vote on it, it's a really fun game and maybe we'll get Black Knight Sword or No More Heroes next if Dokuro gets through. Kinda weird that they are starting with their least known game but maybe it was the cheapest to port?

Eh, to be honest, they already had this one ported to Android and, from there, it isn't too hard to bring to PC. It's even possible it's just running on an Android emulator like the Final Fantasy 3 and 4 ports. Still voted for it.

Just finished the first AssCreed, which was okay-ish and also quite tedious at times.

Just wondered, before I put it in the "completed" category: is there any point at all to go back and mop up a bit? Not thinking OCD flag hunting, but the ending (Desmond finding out he can use eagle view and sees markings on the floor, then there is nothing else to do but go to your room and there he sees more markings and a large symbol over his bed and then the credits roll) gave me the impression that I should maybe go back and do more stuff to get a better ending, maybe more missions and/or interrogations and whatnot?

vGotcha.

Valkyria Chronicles is fantastic and I'm glad it's coming to Steam. The gameplay actually seems like something that would be more popular with PC gamers than console gamers.

The story not so much though. Literally Anime WW2 where nuclear bombs are replaced by magical girls

Who even owns No More Heroes 1 & 2? According to wiki, there were a lot of different publishers for every region.

Lollipop Chainsaw is WB Games and Shadows of the Damned is EA, so it is not up for Suda do decide what games to port.

Yeah thats it, personally I would play 2 and then Brotherhood, skip Revelations and 3 and then move on Black Flag if you're not entire of the AC style of doing things yet (I was to be honest by the end of Brotherhood).

Also, I guess watch the end of 3 on youtube if you want to see the Desmond story wrapped up.

No joke, I wonder if you could map all the most relevant commands on a Dualshock 4 using the shoulder buttons as modifiers. That seems like it might be feasible.

I tried that for a while when I did for my replay. Granted, what you can do will depend on what kind of drivers you're using, but it worked surprisingly well: setting various macros such as L2+DPad to send the “cycle lasers/shields/whatever” key strokes. I ended up using joystick+kb, though, because the analogue sticks on my DS3 were a bit too fidgety to allow the precision needed for some weapons (lock-on missiles most notably) and because I had a hard time giving distinct axis input (rolling when I wanted adjust throttle and vice versa). The latter is perhaps more on me and my meat hands, though.

Yeah, I'll check out 2 at least and see where I go from there. Also, Enhanced Steam is telling me that AssCreed 2 has contracted the Uplague now? I thought both 1 and 2 were exempt from that, did they add it recently for AssCreed 2?

2 has had that for years, not sure if it was there from the beginning.

2 started with the horrible online only version of uplay that would close your game and not save if your connection dropped.

It's now got the mostly benign but somewhat buggy modern implementation.

I played martian memorandum back in the day, and picked up the new one on a whim. I've got to say that moving from 2d to 3d did not improve the gameplay or ambience at all. I'm on day 3 and I'm wondering if the story picks up, because I'm getting tired of wandering around in poorly rendered ghost towns.

It's an FMV puzzle game with decade-old graphics and BS stealth sections. The story is what it is and if it hasn't grabbed you within, say, half an hour, it probably won't for the rest of the game. It's a fun nostalgia throwback in service of the long-term fans of the series, nothing more.

People hate Revelations because they paid $60 each for AC 2, AC: B, and AC: R in the span of a year and a half. You just can't play that much assassin's creed in that amount of time.

I played all through 2 and Bro, watched the cutscenes for Rev, and read the Wikipedia page for 3 before playing 4, and I feel like that was a satisfactory progression.

Yeah they went a bit overboard that year. I played all the major AssCreeds (ie. not Liberation etc.) and I had to take a break before I finished Revelations only month or so ago.

You kind of skipped over the 3 games Tesla Effect is actually following, those being Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive, and Overseer, which are all done in that style. Martian Memorandum is kind of a mostly forgotten relic at this point.

In any case, you basically play a Tex Murphy game these days for enjoyable dumb quips, dialogue, and live-action cutscenes because it is, for better or worse, exactly like an FMV adventure game from the 1990's. If the puzzles grab you at all that's a bonus. I do like having to look behind bookshelves and stuff instead of all the important things just hanging out in the open and sparkling but in your case you might just want to find a strategy guide and breeze through.
