It seems SE removed the beta build and dev tool from the depot, if I'm reading this right.

i never got around to finishing this game cause someone stole my vita's memory card, i didn't replay it cause cmon, wtf do i look like going through another 60 hrs of gameplay. Same thing happened to me with ff7 but with that one it was that my ps3 hard drive got corrupted, from my understanding i was at the 2nd to last boss fight too. I had more than 80 hrs into that one, i was a damaged man for like a good week cause of that one to this day I actually don't know how the game actually ends. I mean obviously i know the main stuff like sephy dies and shit like that. I recently bought the ps4 version, maybe I'll finally beat not only ff7 but 9 as well. its been long enough that i forgot most of what happened in 9 anyway, also i actually don't even know how 9 ends although i think the announcement of the pc/mobile port spoiled the ending cause i don't once remember watching that scene with dagger going on an air ship by herself.

I still don't understand who they were targeting with this sale. Tax refunds? People who forgot to buy something over the winter sale? China? People looking to buy valentine's presents?

I'd guess China since they introduced the Chinese Renminbi. Gotta convert them Dota 2 players.

So I tried playing a few minutes of Homefront. Painfully generic in all the worst ways. Reminds me of Aliens: Colonial Marines in a way. Also, the notion that North Korea would be some instant global superpower is laughable these days, considering they can barely get a missile up in the air without international scrutiny.

[corrosivefrost]

Can confirm. I've already put 13 hours into this thing.

I feel that a desktop monitor is better suited for Picross than the screen of any Nintendo handheld.

Any other screen is pretty much better suited for any game when compared to the 3DS hardware.

I still don't understand who they were targeting with this sale. Tax refunds? People who forgot to buy something over the winter sale? China? People looking to buy valentine's presents?

I don't know that it had a specific target. I don't think Valve sales really do that at this point. But if I was forced to guess, it'd be aligned with your guess of "China?". Their store only somewhat recently converted to using the local currency and a lot of China had a holiday all of this week for Lunar/Chinese New Year.

 

[jshackles]

I still don't understand who they were targeting with this sale. Tax refunds? People who forgot to buy something over the winter sale? China? People looking to buy valentine's presents?

I agree, it's a very poorly positioned sale in my opinion. Tax refunds are out, since the majority of folks in the US don't file their taxes until right up to the April deadline. People who forgot to buy something during the winter sale kinda makes sense but it's really really soon. China is a growing market for Steam, but Asia as a whole still ranks #3 according to their usage stats. If it was encouraging people to buy Valentine's presents, they didn't theme it very well.

My guess is that this is once again Valve experimenting with their formula to see how people react to having a big sale just a month after the last big sale, with the added bonus of it coinciding with a big holiday in an emerging marketplace.

There are a lot of developers/publishers this time around that aren't taking part in the sale, and I suspect it's because they don't want to be part of Valve's experiment. At this point they're probably wondering if a week-long "big" sale every month will become the norm. The data might suggest that sales bring in big numbers, but I imagine publishers are wondering if buyers will be willing to pay full price for games if they're presented with so many sales opportunities throughout the year.

Well a couple of promos so far on the XO regards to free back compat titles for owning a new release have worked in that as long as the game is shown up on your Live account by a certain date (as in you've played it whilst online) then you get a message through Live with a 5x5 code that you can either redeem direct onto that account or just offer up to someone. So for example with Gear Ultimate Edition if you had played it online by 1st December then you were sent codes for 1, 2, 3 and Judgement through Live. Which regardless if you picked them up on the console or the website had a link to redeem them to your account or could just give away the code to someone else.

How it's going to work for Quantum Break might be a little different but bear in mind it's just digital purchases on Live and redeemed codes from select retailers. So it's going to be tethered to a Live account for the XO version regardless so whether you get a ticket via a Live message like you do for back compat titles or it automatically gets added to your account no one really knows yet. If I look at my purchase history on Live Lara Croft GO and AssCreed Pirates, ie Win 8/10 store purchases, show up under the purchase history on the Xbox and MS account portals so there some visibility between the services regards to purchase history.

I already posted a few pages ago but: you will get a a code for the game through Live message, they've already said that.

Yep that's the problem with going too crazy with "big" sales so often. It'll get to the point where for smaller games. People will just wait for a sale. Hell a lot of us are at that point already, so if they increased I would think it could just make things worse in that regard.

[shortsFortallPeople]

Should I buy H1Z1 because it's doubling in price soon or not buy it at all because they are doubling the price of it soon?

general rule is that if you have to ask yourself whether you should buy it or not then you shouldn't buy it because if you really wanted it you would've bought it.

That said: listen to your heart

Neat. I was playing without rumble and finding the secret thing was pretty tough.

Kinda wish I had that newer Fighting Commander since the one I have the rotating D-pad gets out of place too much despite being locked. Also having a straight up Xinput setting would be nice.

You'll have to wait til May... because after I get all that fight money from story mode, I want to use it on Juri. So she better be April's character.

And what is this secrets/relic viewer? I seem to recall something like that from TR2013, but probably only because there was achievements tied to it? It's in Rise too? Why, just as a bonus thing? Or does it actually serve some purpose?

At the risk of causing a revolt, I am really hoping that we'll see Juri soon after Alex. The leaked screenshots makes me wonder if she'll

I actually bought 5-6 games during the Lunar sale. The either weren't on sale during the last one, were new lowest prices, or same as previous lowest price but I changed my mind on them.

But April is my birthday month and I have told Capcom this, so they know they will have to do it. FOR ME.

I don't remember how it was in TR2013, but in RotTR you can find more information about some relics if you find the right spot and look at it a little bit in the relic viewer. There's probably an achievement tied to it for sure, but I haven't actually checked.

There was in TR2013, I remember doing it after thinking about it when reading about the relic viewer in rise. TR2016 has nothing of the sort though.

And if you want Capcom to hook you up in April, you gotta get them to swap Juri and toss Alex back into May or later. Actually, May or July might be taken by Guile... so I'm not really sure where Alex should get thrown to.

[Ucchedavāda]

It's probably server-side, based on your Capcom Fighting Network account ID, which I'd guess is tied to your Steam ID for PC. It would be extremely foolhardy of Capcom to tie that to your save-game, since that would be cracked open in about 5 minutes on PC.

Does the intro pack preorder get you into the beta? If so I'm tempted, if mostly because I also at least get to buy into the game for cheap.

I'm actually relieved that SE just let you buy into the first map of the game for relatively cheap. That makes me more confident they know what they're doing with Hitman this time around, making it more systems based and that it's going to be a platform more or less to support interesting levels and challenges rather than a cardboard cutout AAA title that barely echoes the franchise aka Hitman: Absolution.

Yes. The beta is just the opening level of the game.

I know it's only $2, but Raiden III is IMO completely skippable. The port is apparently pretty bunk as well.

Raiden IV is great though.

I'd say get good, usually, but maybe you just need to take a break from it - like a sleep or two, then go back to it. Usually works for me.

I know. Problem is that this is the first time you're on a timer, and I'm not used to playing the game like that. I solved 99% of the game without using a guide, but I will say some puzzles took me a long time to get. So I was generally pretty slow in solving the puzzles. Now on a strict timer, for me, it's hell. I actually thought the pillar puzzles would be easy, but they're hard as well. It's just brutal.

Btw, if you get it on MG, you'll get a DRM free copy, and a Steam key. Also, I think MG will get more money, and you can already buy it there. And it's completely UNCENSORED on MG and on Steam. The H scenes aren't really explicit which is why this can happen.
