Japan, the country Platinum and Konami are based in, cannot purchase Metal Gear Rising, a Konami game developed by Platinum. Well, ok then.

Palladium posted:Hah, small wonder SCEA/SCEE rightfully told SCEJ to rightfully gently caress off when it comes to the PS4. Does Japan even care about games like Skyrim? Maybe the games that sell big on Steam just don't in Japan. edit: when you look at the big name Japanese devs on Steam, it's all stuff with a big Western focus.

Those games are on Playstation and Xbox (for the ten people that own one in the country). Being on PC, the platform Japan is least interested in, probably isn't gonna change anyone's minds. If they aren't interested in the games available on Steam there is no incentive to adopt the platform. Most of those games probably don't even get localized there and I bet the ones that do are as niche as a company like Atlus is here. On Playstation, anyway. It's not really a matter of whether it can work or not. You can play PC games in Japan, they just... don't. edit: really, the only way I see PC gaming growing is if Japanese developers start giving a poo poo. They kind of are now in the West, stuff like Dark Souls proved that there is a market for them. I actually can't think of any other game out of Japan that was developed for PC at the same time as console, let alone as the lead platform, than Dark Souls 2. That stuff just doesn't happen. Once they start porting it over for the Western audience they may as well release the PC version at home as well. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jul 19, 2014 |

pentyne posted:100% agree. With the mods to fix the bugs and the save issues, it's the best open world CYOA you could ever want. You can play the game through multiple times and never have the same experience. I don't, it's one of the more overrated games I've seen in recent memory. It is a good game, though. well worth playing. If a little buggy.

There's no animosity. The games that people talk about having bugs do, in fact, have bugs. New Vegas, Alpha Protocol, or whatever else all reviewed really well and people really like them. Honestly I think it's the opposite and people gloss over the bugs because Obsidian. edit: except Dungeon Siege 3 I guess. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jul 20, 2014 |

poptart_fairy posted:NV's QA was handled by the same company that did Fallout 3's, yet Obsidian got the blame. Can't say anything for AP as it was completely smooth for me. It's not that nobody knows or cares about Bethesda's bugs (as was mentioned, PS3 in particular has always been very bad and nigh unplayable for Fallout/TES). It's that nobody talks about them anymore. People do, however, bring up New Vegas all the time. You bring up a game with bugs and people will bring up that it has bugs.

Sir Unimaginative posted:The fact that this is still happening is darkly hilarious, because even without mods the final version of New Vegas is less buggy than Fallout 3. And with the right mods (which you would also need to fix the same problems in Fallout 3) there's hardly any non-cosmetic bugs left (which probably aren't going anywhere because Creation Engine). You have to mention it has bugs to recommend mods to fix the bugs.  Jerusalem posted:I'm installing Deadly Premonition but I recall there was some kind of issue with the PC port? Has it been patched up or is there a recommended 3rd party patch/fix I should be using with it? It needs a fan patch I think.

I've literally never heard any of this stuff outside of people defending them. Saying Obsidian makes good, flawed games is not a problem because it is a fact and that is the closest to negative I've heard. Well, not including Dungeon Siege 3. Though as to New Vegas specifically, if you just download the game and play it can and will crash. Often, even. Fanmade patches do not change the fact that the bugs were in the game and as such they should be mentioned to people looking to buy it, even if only to point out those patches that fix it. This is not a slight against the people who made it. Clearly you'll not be convinced on this but you are railing against people and problems that don't exist. I'll let it drop.

Pretty sure the only EA games on Steam are games released before Origin, they want you to use their storefront instead of Valve's. Which is why you can find things like Dragon Age Origins and BC2 but not their sequels. Recent EA games are only available on Origin in the same way you can only buy Valve games through Steam.

The ending is the worst part but it is by no means good before then. It has its moments and the weird horde mode thing they added was surprisingly entertaining, but you're really not missing much by just ending out on ME2.

I played DA2 more recently than ME3. It's a lot worse, but my point wasn't that they were equally bad and I never said anything like that. My point was that you can skip them both and miss nothing. If ME3 is a 6/10, DA2 is like a 2.

Samurai Sanders posted:What does it mean when a game update won't stay in the download queue? Dark Souls 2 says "update required" but is not in the queue, when I push that up button in the top right it goes into the queue for a few seconds and downloads a little bit, but drops out again. What is Steam trying to tell me? Considering that update was released like two days ago, probably that you already have it and it is just confused. Just a guess, though.  Have you played the game since trying that? It would probably tell you when you start the game if you didn't actually have the update.

Phenotype posted:Thanks for that -- I now have it downloading courtesy of the other SA Mart Steam game seller (hiddenmovement wasn't on). I don't think the Russian keys are kosher for SA, though. I remember hearing something about how it's arbitrage(?) and if not exactly illegal, then pretty close. Honestly the best thing you could do if you want something like FFT is to play Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (it's by Yasumi Matsuno, the guy that was the director/writer of FFT). Which is a PSP game. It's available digitally on Vita as well, but again it's not a PC game. I can't think of anything on PC that actually plays like FFT except in the broadest terms.The guy that made FFT also has an SRPG in development right now called Untold Story: Tale of the Guardians. It's a phone game, though.

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:Anyone have any recommendations for a good game that can be played in offline mode, preferrably with a ton of replay value? Going to be without internet for a while very soon and I need to prepare my free time now, If I can. There's always the indie game standbys like Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, or Don't Starve. They'll take a while to beat and replaying them is basically the point. XCOM is another good game with a lot of replayability.

Dying Light and Dead Island 2 are different games. Dying Light is being made by the original Dead Island dev team that split from their publisher (who owned the IP). Not sure who is behind Dead Island 2. I think this split is also why Riptide is basically the same game again.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Dead Island was incredible... for the first 20-30 minutes. Then you realize you've seen the whole game. Both serious efforts to complete the game stop around the time you leave the resort area. Even with co-op buddies it just wasn't fun after a while. I played it for a while and it seemed fun, but not something to bother with alone. It's kinda like Borderlands, though it trades some problems those games have for different ones.

Dunno if saying the key to enjoying the game is to not play it is a great argument, but if it works for you more power to ya. My way of enjoying that game is to mute it any time Handsome Jack or Tiny Tina have something to say.

Haven't there been Playfire rewards for games you can't buy on GMG before? Dunno why it matters whether the game is sold there when you'd likely just be getting a Steam key anyway.

Not necessarily. I think this is one of those games that have Suda51's name on the box but weren't actually headed up by him. There's an LP in the sub forum of it going right now you could check out to see if it does anything for you.

I use it for Battlefield and it's fine. It generally has faster download speeds than Steam and doesn't throttle my computer the way Steam does when it downloads stuff. The store selection is limited and the sales are a joke but it functions just fine. There's no real glaring flaw in Origin at this point that should stop you from using it if you're interested in an EA game. Never heard about the spyware thing.
