    A visual novel called Clannad is hitting the west / Steam. I do not really follow the VN scene very much but from reading around and asking questions it appears this is actually a pretty big get as far as another "Hooray Japanese developers!" Apparently is supremely popular.

    Arc Systems Works needs to stop pussyfooting around with their fighting games.

    Geez, Mark of the Ninja ends strong. No wonder it made so many lists. $15 really is underpriced for that game.

    4:35 AM - SmokeStacks: well

    4:35 AM - CorriganX: yeah let me just go to the magic store with my magic money and buy magic games with my magic wallet

    God! I love his music! But why does a lot of his tracks sound so artificial?

    Speaking of ASW, they should totally bring Chrono Phantasm to PC!
    I want to destroy people with my somewhat passable skills with Jin Kisaragi, or play (lousily) around with the incredibly fun, but insane and blood-thirsty Hazama.

    Damn it. Decided that Firaxis had earned my trust, and was going to order Beyond Earth. They've added the damn regional pricing back in. I thought we were done with this bullshit, 2K. I thought we were good again.

    I lately just get 2K games on Nuuvem, since they have equivalent USian price, meaning about a 34% discount on my regional price even outside of sales.

    Clannad is coming to steam? I wonder if my heart can take it. That story is an emotional rollercoaster.

    The first season of the adaption was emotional, but the second season put me in tears like no piece of fiction has ever done before or has ever done since.

    I gave it all of 6 minutes so keep that in mind but it seemed worth the $4.99 I spent. Don't know how much staying power it will have but I think it would be something I'd fire up every so often for the atmosphere it creates. Those animatronic bastards gave me the creeps, but it didn't seem omgimshittingmyself creepy like, say, Outlast or Amnesia. You pretty much flick through cameras (which are accessed via a little pop-up map) and you have direct control over the lights in the two hallways leading to the room you're in as well as the doors leading into the room. Everything you do eats away at your power level, the camera usage seemed the most draining. You get an introduction phone call that tells you about that and that the animatronic robots tend to move around at night and you shouldn't let them catch you. Definitely worth a fiver and I look forward to playing it more.

    Went ahead and nabbed me a copy. Its page says it is Oculus Rift compatible? If so, the reaction video from my wife alone will be more than worth the cost.

    Oh man Clannad. I've watched the anime that was based on the VN.

    It uh... they certainly like to earn their endings. Emotionally.

    I actually rather liked the anime. I admit to crying like a little boy with the Fuko thing.

    That said, I mostly meant the first season. I tend to act as if the second season doesn't exist because I have a certain dislike for characters acting like complete idiots for the sake of drama.
    Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't good, but they do put you through the wringer. Doubly so in the movie. All the low points with none of the highs.

    So yeah, I'm probably going to avoid the VN.

    damn, I was just in the pub talking to a couple of friends about how exciting oculus rift is going to be and this video would have shown them everything I needed to say. I mainly spoke about how excited I am for the rift in driving games but the rift and hydra combination just makes so much sense. We are seriously living in the future and it's amazing

    Crap now I think I'll need to grab it. Haven't had the rift hooked up for awhile but this might be worth it.

    If it gets one jump scare out of @CorriganX then it was well worth the price.

    Anyone have all three Deponia games? Apparently the trilogy thing is 90 percent off if you do (4 bucks). I only own two so I would probably pay 4 bucks for that last game, if anyone can help me out.

    But what you do with the baby dolphins in the second game didn't tip it for ya?


    That aside, the ending is also shit. (tagging as a spoiler for liability but not really a spoiler)
    The developers pulled a "we don't want to work on Deponia games anymore" ending(possibly because they were annoyed that Deponia kept stealing the spotlight from all of their other projects), and you know what happens with a game that the developers really don't want to continue anymore.

    A visual novel called Clannad is hitting the west / Steam. I do not really follow the VN scene very much but from reading around and asking questions it appears this is actually a pretty big get as far as another "Hooray Japanese developers!" Apparently is supremely popular.

    God! I love his music! But why does a lot of his tracks sound so artificial?

    I know why: the drummer. Daisuke did not use a live drummer until Guilty Gear XX. Also, BlazBlue did not get a live drummer until Chronophantasma. Listen to a GGX song compared to the GGX2 counterpart to really notice the difference.

    Amusingly grimdarkian narrative mixed with a pretty bog standard tactical combat system that looks an awful lot like ye olde might and magic or ye new kings bounty, only without unit counts.

    There are some totally rad encounters and some that will have you begging for the sweet release of death, (Endless horde of cave bugs I am looking squarely at you, you were awful and should have never auditioned for a part.) but as long as you backtrack now and then to check out gear you missed from earlier vendors, you should be able to handle most of what comes your way without succumbing to the urge to consume a stray animal alive.

    There is some jank in the game that $.pro reviewers tended to get stuck on, no doubt, but by and large the ratio of fun to eviscerated prairie dogs was positive in my experience.

    The important thing, the really important thing, is that thanks to the wonders of match making, you will probably be just as bad as all the other guys in the match. No matter their claims to the contrary. You're all wallowing in incompetence together on the spaceship Earf, and that's totally okay. Enjoy! Try some bot matches.
