"All of that legendary stuff, it dates back to an age that didn't even have proper techniques. If you were to look at such things now in the present's point-of-view, it would be natural that they look inferior. For this reason, it's a given that Ultimate Sword's abilities would be bad."

I hated Star Ocean 4 when I played it on PS3 years ago, but somehow the new steam-port is tempting me.
Damn it, brain.

Did love the combat, though.

I have played a bit with SteamSpy's data to try to see which games have performed best during their launch week, among all the Steam games released during the past 2 months or so.

The results are quite surprising to me... because I don't know a lot of these games or softwares (VEGAS Pro 15 Edit Steam Edition, I'm looking at your 266,000€). The amount of money generated by Call of Duty is also insane!

Since I focus on the launch week, apps which sell well are games/softwares which had a following ready to purchase almost as soon as they are released on Steam. Stuff like Tricolour Lovestory come out of nowhere...

Wok: Have you decreased the revenue by Valve's cut?
No, maybe the terme revenue is not the right one: it is just the number of units sold between day 1 and day 7, times the average of the two prices at day 1 and day 7 (just in case there is a small discount at launch, but without biasing the amount of money nonetheless).

Edit: Actually, I think revenue is the right word.

Vegas Pro is a fairly well known video editing software suite.

I know nothing about video editing softwares, so... to me, it is a discovery.

We're very excited to tell you that Before the Storm's bonus episode "Farewell" will be releasing in early 2018 and in even more exciting news; Hannah Telle and Ashly Burch will be returning to play Max and Chloe! As you are all aware, Ashly has been working with the writing team at Deck Nine and we're ecstatic that she will be returning to play the role of young Chloe.

Rhianna DeVries has done a fantastic job for the voice and motion capture of 16 year old Chloe so far, bringing a little bit of herself to the role, just as Ashly had in the previous game. We are forever thankful to Rhianna for the work she has put into Before the Storm and she will continue to work with us for the motion capture of young Chloe in Farewell.

This title will be real embarrassing if the client comes out next month.
I'll take the embarrassment in exchange for an improved UI any day of year honestly.
I know it didn't get great reviews, but it looks interesting enough for me to at least give it a shot at some point. Anyone here have any thoughts on it?
An enjoyable to an extent third person tactical shooter, but its overall experience ends up being average/bad.

I played it but didnt finish it back then, it was a fine third person shooter, and I like the universe so.

I should get back to it one of these days, and by get back to it I of course mean restart because fuck if I remmeber any of it.

The Bureau is a mediocre game with some huge flaws... however, it has a pretty cool story that is worth experiencing for yourself. Like, in spite of everything it is, I can't help but appreciate its ambition. Just go in blind and enjoy.

So I would actually recommend playing it.

It's OK. It has some neat ideas, a nice aesthetic, and some good story-beats, but the actual game-play drags it down.
The main problem is that it is squad based with dummies for squad-mates, and that becomes quite annoying when the difficulty ramps up.

I don't regret playing it, and I did like its take on
player agency.

Regarding Tricolour Lovestory, it's not a big surprise considering it was fairly cheap during release week. Besides that, it's an anime title, it's translated to Chinese(around ~83% of total owners are from China) and it has steam trading cards. Big combo.

Yes. Going through the list, the amount of anime and visual novels is astounding. This genre really has an audience. I have not checked, but I would not be surprised if most of these are translated to Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
