Hearthstone hype in a nutshell.

Two years later and I still love FF Dissidia 012. I'm still pissed I'll never get Cecil's sprite costume because Square Enix made it exclusive to another game and gave the code an expiration date.

I wish Ramza was in it. Maybe Ultima too. Proper villains for 11 and 13 too. I can't be the only one who thought Prishe was pointless.

>>180456
>Proper villains for 11
Oh hell yes

>>180462
The antagonist from Rise of Zilat was apparently considered. As was his brother but nope someone had to cram their waifu in.

>>180465
I'd be happy with any of them. From Shadow Lord to Lady Lilith.

>>180475
Shadow Lord would have been good. He's from the vanilla version so he was established first. Plus Chaos had a surplus of magic heavy characters. I wouldn't have minded that guy from the Wii Crystal Chronicles game. Using telekinesis would makes for an interesting moveset. Plus he had an EX mode. Ramza would be great with Knight Break attacks and archer Charge attacks for HP. Bravery attacks could draw from his Squire abilities, maybe with different buffs added. Like following up one Brave attack with an HP one has a gives it a wall rush bonus. His EX could be Ultima.

>>180480
Although honestly, if you go solely on who would have the more interesting moveset rather than who the most important character was, Orlandu or at least Agrias would be the better choice than Ramza. Although I guess given that they take some liberties with Dissidia versions of characters, they could also just give Ramza the Holy Swordsman abilities.

>>180486
Screw it. They taught him or something. A magic swordsman is something neither side really has. Get Phil Lamarr back too.

Currently one my first walkthrough on Dragon's Dogma.

So far, shit's so cash.

So I've been a console gamer my whole life due to having a very mediocre computer, but that old thing finally broke down and I got a new one which is very nice, and should be capable of playing just about any recent game.

So, what are the must-play pc games that I've missed out on? I'm not a fan of the RTS genre, so you don't need to list Starcraft, Warcraft, etc., and I really don't like paid subscription games either.

Oh, and is steam worth getting?

>>180535
Steam is definitely worth getting. Awesomenauts, Starforge and Star Wars Battlefront 2 are good starts. The Doom modding community is still healthy. The entire Zork series is free to download. The SCP game is free and in my opinion one of the most suspenseful nd creepy games I've played in a while.

>>180535
If you get stream, Team Fortess 2 is free, a decent amount of people still play it and plenty of people on this board can answer any questions you have.

Another thing PC has going for it, is the massive catalog of f2p games. Might want to check some of them out. It only costs some of your time. Warframe, Path of Exile, Planetside 2, Vindictus, just to name a few.

>>180535
> and I got a new one which is very nice

Give spcs, please. Prefferably as a speccy screenshot.

>>180535
Steam is 100% worth it. But if you have no spare money, make sure to uninstall it during the Steam Sales because it does invade your wallet.

No matter what you call it, this game is a disappointment. I wanted to like it so, so much, but it's just boring. :(

HALF LIFE 3 TO BE CONFIRMED

Got an ending for Tactics Ogre.

Well my sister killed herself, my father was tortured to death, Good Lanselot's a vegtable, archmage guy was left behind in a pit, Alphonse!Lanselot, Balxephon, and the other guy got away, and you had to claw through an AGONIZINGLY long shitty dungeon followed by a pretty tedious final boss, but you're king now Denam, so you and Vyce can lead a unified Valeria!OH WHOOPS WALLISTER GUNMAN OUT OF NOWHERE, YOU DIED, THE END.

YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT YOU'RE SO GOOD GAME, OTHERWISE I'D BE MIGHTY SALT RIGHT NOW.

Sega bought Atlus:

http://nintendoeverything.com/sega-to-purchase-index-holdings/

Persona 5 confirmed for PC. Ah, who am I kidding? Those games aren't going to be localized anymore

>>180613

Is Sega bad with localization or something?

>>180613
copypasta from reddit

>SEGA did not buy Atlus. SEGA Sammy which is a holding company that includes SEGA, Sammy (a Pachinko machine maker) and about 2 dozen or so smaller companies, bought Index which is a massive media conglomerate that owns Atlus. This means that we do not know where Atlus is going to fall in the corporate structure of Sega Sammy, as Index could exist somewhat autonomously with Atlus inside of it, or Atlus could get rolled into SEGA while the rest of Index is absorbed into other companies.
Any discussion of how Atlus will be shaped by SEGA's corporate culture is premature at this point as we don't know how the two will interact, if at all.

>>180615
Not in Europe. In fact, it would be an improvement over Atlus by a landslide. So I'd be happy. I heard their American division sucks ass, though.

>Sega has confirmed it has bought Index.

>The part of Sega that bought Index is called Sega Dream Corporation, founded on 5th September 2013. That's not made up.

>This from Sega's press release announcing the deal:

>"The Company believes that transfer of Index's operations to Sega will create synergies, on the grounds that the deal will enable the Company to:

>(1) gain access to prominent IPs in the home video game software, through which the Company can expect to achieve steady flows of revenue;

>(2) expect further facilitation of revenue growth for the PC Online Game Business and Content Business for Smart Devices operated by Sega and Sega Networks Co., Ltd. by exploiting acquired prominent IPs and

>(3) maximize the value of acquired IPs by effectively deploying them in the Pachislot and Pachinko Machines segment, Amusement Machine Sales and Amusement Center Operations segments."

>Well, quite.

>The deal should be wrapped up by 1st November 2013, Sega said.

>>180631
>(3) maximize the value of acquired IPs by effectively deploying them in the Pachislot and Pachinko Machines segment, Amusement Machine Sales and Amusement Center Operations segments."
Man, that's just...
It's not like it's effecting me in any way, but whoring out Atlus IPs to slap them on some pachinko machines? That's kinda gross, I feel.

Persona is probably fucked but I really hope they at least leave mainline smt and etrian odyssey alone. Or at least let them die peacefully.

>>180465
I think Ramza is the coolest, that is all.

It's not like Sega's going to move in and destroy all that was good about Atlus, they'll probably just let them keep doing what they're doing. I mean, bear in mind that Sega has a bunch of niche series they just let run wild, like Yakuza.

>>180638
I don't think they will destroy anything, but the odds of the Atlus games being localized probably went down

>>180640
I'm not sure if I follow your logic. They consider Atlus's IPs attractive enough to make the company worth buying and shilling out, but not attractive enough to continue localizing? And haven't SMT and Persona been getting more and more popular in the west lately?

>>180640
>>180641

This is the same company that's left us hanging on Phantasy Star Online 2 and Yakuza 5.

>>180638
People are losing their shit thinking Sega Sammy's going to immediately wipe their new acquisition and its beloved IPs off the face of the planet. Only Konami is that stupid.

Oh God, I just realized... Brotag and Demi-fiend in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing 2

So, Japan discovered Cookie Clicker.

>>180636
Same here.

Replaying Dissidia a bit, there isn't really a character I don't like using. Except for Prishe.

Really wish there was a story mode for the villains. Kefka and Exdeath bro adventures would be worth it. Plus I loved that this game to Garland, the lame first boss of FF and turned him into a gigantic badass. The Emperor was good too, even if he looks like he's going to start singing about dance magic. I'd like to see Cloud of Darkness do more, I liked that the programmers gave her this eerie way of moving.

>>180676
> the lame first boss of FF
(and final boss)

>>180679
You really don't need to spoiler that.

Point is they gave him more depth than a love of knocking things down.

>>180681
But it's like the game's big twist!

I like to play retro games in public just to attract attention and have people come up and watch and say "aw sweet I loved this game as a kid!"

What does that say about me?

>>180663
And Capcom. And EA. And...

>>180685
That you might have a new way to do street entertainment.

>>180685
You're human and long for comradery where you are the focus.

Deep Down Gameplay from the To…
Well, this certainly LOOKS incredible, but it seems to play like hot garbage. Resident Evil controls in my Dark Souls? No thanks.

Got creatures three running on my win7 box - surprised it likes this thing so well.

Fuck, 14 years old and this old gem is still beautiful.

So I got the Humble Indie Bundle for Mark of the Ninja, but I catch myself playing way more Fez. I hate to admit it, but that asshole made a damn good game. Fuck that QR code shit, though. Takes you right out of it.

A friend and I were chatting about Pokemon and I realized something: after the initial wave of copycats went by, very few games attempted to cash-in on the Pokemon formula. In this age where every popular genre is being represented in the indie scene, I can't think of a single game that could be described as "Pokemon-like." Know of anything on Steam or whatever that gives a similar experience?

>>180733
Didn't Final Fantasy XII-2 do that? That's the most recent example off the top of my head. Oh, and SMT is obviously still going.

>>180734
A lot of games will have collection & battle as part of their gameplay (it seems to be usually usually sequels, it seems, like the XIII-2 you mentioned and Tales of Symphonia: DOANW), but it's not made to be a prominent part, at least in marketing.

>>180737
They all jumped onto the card game train shortly after Yugioh did its thing.

So for anyone with a Wii U, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is $30 on the eShop this week.

Someone please buy it. I bought it a couple months ago to play with a friend and then his Wii U was stolen. I'm so alone

Man, Fez. The last time I took notes while playing a videogame must have been 15 years ago or so. I think I almost cracked the numbers. I have not even the slightest of clues regarding the alphabet, though.

I cracked the numbers. It was way more simple and elegant than I thought it would be. Really neat. Still no fucking idea about the alphabet.

Played and enjoyed this game. Loved the story!!! Now i Will try the Dark Descent now. Complety different gameplay and ideas i know but i still want to try it

>10 year old steam account.
Shit son. I'm surprised they haven't acknowledged their platform's age with some event.

Ohh new special Crossover Promo for Saints Row IV and Shadow Warrior. Do you want some Wang? Own both titles and you get the Penetrator Skin for the Katana

When will graphics card naming stop being completely confusing and terrible?

What happened to Metal Gear Rising PC? I was told I'd be free to fight my own wars!

God DAMNIT, Rodyle, I can't stop playing and, I imagine, I'll be the same way with New Vegas when I get around to it, again.

Man, replaying Tactics Advance 1-2 but FUCK, after War of Lions these are a fucking insult, especially 2 holy shit fuck the rule system is the most irritating and pointless thing to exist, I wish there was an easy way to get War of Lions running on PC.

And wow, thinking the internet play up Marche? Fucking completely wrong, he's Nowe tier TERRIBLE.

They tried SO HARD to make him almost exactly like Ramza but FUCKED IT UP SO HARD IT'S INCREDIBLE, it's like they tripped on their own testicles.

At least with A2 you don't necessarily need to follow the law system.

I enjoy all 3 FFT games but seriously Tiki, PLAY LET US CLING TOGETHER. (also JRPG chat goes in JRPG thread)

Also, they're absolutely not bringing Phantasy Star Nova over. So is that it, then? Are we just getting Total War, Sonic games, and whatever Sumo Digital throws our way now?

>>181270
Rip Atlus

>>181272

Why are people saying this?

Atlus has its own goddamn people to license and release shit stateside. They have Atlus of America. They have their own people to do that shit.

Only panic when it looks like Sega's actually going to start fucking with them internally.

Does anyone else have trouble using greenman vouchers outside Britain?

The best weapon in videogames returns to it's full glory.

So Saints Row 2 is on sale and I want to buy it.
But... I can't deside if I will go out off my way to get the more expansiv Ultimate pack or not.
What do you guys think?

Oh yeah man, totally, I love the buster sword too

>>181352

Pfft, HA HA HA, it's 30 kilos heavier than the buster sword and a foot longer.

I really have no fucking idea how to import saves from Dolphin 3.5-367 into Dolphin 4, the import tools are not clear at all. All I want to do is be able to beat Mario Sunshine without lugging my wii out of my parent's basement.

>>181367
> beat Mario Sunshine
Unless you have a thing for 100% games, this really isn't worth it.

>>181371
I just want to beat the boss. I'm only two stars away but I can't beat Scrubbing Serena Beach because the game won't detect the goo being gone.

>>181373
Are you sure it's the game? You might be missing some.

You have to get ALL of it.

Oh my god this is the single most boring and repetitive game I've ever played in my life. Getting through every single shitty fucking world with this shitty fucking battle system is a trial of sanity. It took me 3 hours to get through Halloween Town, no joke.

>>181393
Whose idea was it to make every battle action a work in tedium and planning for a flipping action game?

>>181364
Nah, by then The Turtles sewer lair will be out here and I dont think the game will get any cheaper than 60 something kr.
89 for the ultimate.
And thats 3 bucks more then I have in my PSN wallet so I have to go and get a PSN cart if I want that one.
Because PSN wont take my Visa for some fucking reason...

>>181373
Oh. And I've had that problem, you have to get every microscopic bit. Best bet is to do a row at a time, and when you get to the end of a row turn around and do the next, etc. Check trees and stuff, too, it's not just the ground.

Oh right, that's why. Also, no banter between commanders during the stronghold assaults. It's funny how just a couple of changes made this so inferior to Dark Crusade.

Here, beat the game.

I got to the base in Pakistan rather confused since it seemed like I was kind of out of people to fight.

The moment he started to power up I literally said "Oh you've gotta be kidding me" right as Raiden did and I laughed my ass off.

>>181405
Armstrong gets the least screentime of any Metal Gear villain, but by god he makes the most of it. Also make sure you get Sam's DLC, Bladewolf's is skippable but Sam's has the best cutscene in the game.

Wait for those Witcher 3 Requirements. I'm gonna weep for my barely year old system. Lucky I got a mainboard that is at least 4 years proof.

>>181416
Ouch. I have a 2GB stick from 2010, its brother died, so I have another 2GB from a different brand. I should just save up a bit and get some new 4x2GB sticks to future-proof my system, but it has so many odd errors after a brownout that it might be a waste...

>>181416
Welp. I knew I shouldn't have skimped out on the CPU. That seems to be my bottleneck now.

Those specs have to be wrong, 6GB minimum? Ridiculous, there has to be a msitake.

>>181439
Aaaand according to that reddit thread, those specs disappeared from the official site.

>>181433
What processor do you have?

>>181440
I've got an AMD A8-3850, because I couldn't afford a good graphics card at the time. I upgraded by putting in an Radeon HD 6870 later on. For most gaming the A8 is still very good, but as soon as the CPU becomes the bottleneck, I'm fucked. Like with emulation.

>>181409
Yeah Raiden was actually pretty great throughout. Kudos to Platinum for making him likable, although to be fair that might simply be the result of removing Rose from the equation.

>>181405
Rising is just so hilariously insane in every way that it's hard to tell just how much of it is tongue-in-cheek self awareness and how much of it is just par for Metal Gear. Like that goddamn Jack the Ripper voice. I know Quinton Flynn can be a pretty good VA so I have to wonder if he was making it sound so goofy on purpose.
