So I'm weirdly actually starting to look forward to the Tales of Vesperia remaster? Tales of Destiny was the first JRPG I ever really liked. I tried Symphonia but couldn't get into it, and that kind of put me off the series, but watching videos of Vesperia and I think I might try this one out.

Atelier Arland trilogy announced for PS4 and Switch in Japan!

This is very likely to come West and I would expect a Steam release as well. 

 

 

Also, @deanb might be nothing but I accidentally clicked on this thread's first page and Chrome went apeshit with a red page warning of a deceptive site (mentioned fishing and Raptr, which IIRC some people used to have in their signature). Thought you might want to know.

Fixing one typo seem to have fixed Aliens: Colonial Marines Xenomorph's AI a bunch. Granted it doesn't make the game even an okay buy but if you have it on PC, you can try to enjoy it by having some challenge to your playthrough. Not like how it is previously where you could seriously run through entire levels

EA has announced a new Premier tier for Origin Access. It costs $15/month or $100/year, and gives you complete unlimited access to all new Origin games. That's kind of insane, really. New game comes out, sub to Premier and basically get it for free for $15. It could be great for someone like me, since I rarely take more than a month to finish a game, and anymore I basically don't play games more than once.

 

Too bad it's EA. I honestly can't think of a single EA game coming out in the next year that I have more than a passing interest in.

This is one of the titles that people had been asking SEGA to port since the very start along with VC, Bayo and Vanquish, so it's about time. What's interesting is that the listing only mentions Tri-Ace as publisher. These ports are usually a SEGA EU thing, so it makes me wonder if this one is different.

Lol, I'd say now we know what the delay was about but at this point I'm not sure we can assume anything about how deep their incompetence runs.  These are such baffling things to remove from a PC port that it's hard to even guess whether there was something causing a genuine problem or if it was just some kind of idiotic decision.

Epic launching their own store, instead of the 70/30 Steam has, they'll go with 88/12, if you use the Unreal Engine and sell your game through their store, you won't have to worry about the 5% royalty fee.

 

Could be cool, hope it isn't region locked. :P

Apparently this Epic store isn't going to have user forums for their games the way the steam store does.  Instead they're going to use a ticketing system. I can see why they went this route since steam forums are frequently a shithole, but I can't imagine users are going to be happy about this.

Honestly, even for technical help it's still a dumpster fire. PC Gaming Wiki is a far more useful alternative most of the time.

 

In related Steam/Valve news, CS:GO has gone free to play and has added a Battle Royale mode. 

 

I was never really into Counter-Strike all that much but I'm reinstalling it to check it out. Hopefully it's a decent alternative because I enjoyed what I played of Radical Heights before Boss Key went under but I'm not interested in buying PUBG and I'm not installing the Epic launcher, so Fortnite's out too.

Cool, I'll check it out then. :P Haven't tried any of the other BR games, so this will be the first time I jump into one. :P

I didn't even get through RDR2 before I picked up Smash Ultimate. Granted I know what happens because the constant barrage of spoilers on YouTube.

 

So good luck out there. I know it's been years that anyone who cares will want to see how Ansem, I mean Xemnas, I mean Xehanort, no wait I meant Master Xehanort's ultimate plan comes about. No, perhaps it's the Master of Masters all along and his mysterious box left to Luxu and anyone who inherited No Name with the Gazing Eye!

 

It'll all make complete sense I imagine.

I'm slightly tempted to purchase a PlayStation Classic as it's now reduced to $60 (and maybe even less with store specific deals) and people have hacked the device to run a larger gamut of PS1 classics.

 

Still might be more effort for what amounts to a novelty and if I would even bother playing the older games when I have newer games sitting on my shelf.
