Xbox leaks new games, Playstation leaks remasters.

KakkaKarrotKake · October 2, 2022, 9:20pm

What exactly is stopping the release, like what is the content they view isn’t appropriate?

saintsflow20 · October 2, 2022, 9:37pm

I mean that’s the mystery right there. Yeah there’s gore in the game (which this release has toned down as it’s based on the PS version. Only the Xbox 360 version ever had “maximum gore”), yeah there’s anime girl fanservice (not an extreme amount, no more than in Danganronpa. It’s not -that- kind of game). So people are questioning: Why can’t this game release but games like Danganronpa and even Persona can? And why is the game okay for Switch and retailers like Walmart and Gamestop but not Steam which actually sells unrated “Adult” titles? There’s just no good answer other than Valve is being ridiculous.

The game’s been out since 2009 (but this is the first English release) or so on every platform including Xbox and people who’ve played it already have said there’s nothing in this game that breaks Valve’s rules if Persona is allowed on Steam.

There’s actually been some sort of “warpath” against VNs from Valve lately, but this is the first time a “high profile” console release from a decently big publisher has been targeted. People have started guessing there’s actually an employee at Valve who hates VNs or anime, however weird that theory sounds.

I don’t care about Valve personally, but what about Xbox here? We don’t have these games yet, right? After AI I’m definitely a fan of visual novels, although AI is probably more than that I would say, but hell, bring it all to Xbox please.

Aside the free PR and goodwill that Microsoft is accumulating (due to Sony’s mistakes) they also have another three cards they can play any time to gain additional goodwill points

Game Pass Friends & Family launch
ability to play the games you own via Cloud

The forums were down

PCPrincipal · October 2, 2022, 10:20pm

Hahaha… Rand is there trolling hard…

saintsflow20 · October 2, 2022, 10:20pm

Yeah I would say AI is more like an “adventure game”. Lots of interactivity and freely moving and stuff.

This series (Science;Adventure) is the more usual VN style. There is no gameplay, all graphics are “flat”/2D portraits, only reading text (with voice acting of course) and then choosing a choice sometimes (in Chaos;Head, that would be what kind of “delusion” the protagonist is going to suffer…)

If MS is not done with Spike Chunsoft yet then I’d like to see this series be the next in the list, especially since the next game in the series, Steins;Gate, is the best VN I ever read. A shame these actually are available on Xbox but only in Japanese (essentially the entire Sci;Adv series is), so technically “we” don’t have these games, but JP Xbox fans do. Also kinda dumb because Switch and PS versions of these games have been localized but the Xbox versions never were.

Very strange indeed

I had heard steam have had a thing against similar VN’s for a while now

True and very disappointed. smh!

ShinMegamiTenseiX · October 3, 2022, 1:53am

Now thats true as many games are xbox one supported. But realistically MS are moving away from Xbox one. I don’t think any future bethesda games even have Native Xbox one support and nor should they.

Deathloop was a good game 7/10. I don’t understand the 10/10s for this game but still good. Took me 17 hours. I didn’t like the music and aiming was still but it all comes together at the end and it was a fun adventure. I don’t need a sequel to this game and kind of hope the team who made this does something else but that’s me. I was gonna play grounded but I’m gonna try hardspace ship dealer first

Played through xcloud for the first time today through VPN (still not supported in my region), connected to Germany from Asia and it still worked so well, didn’t feel much latency at all, I was expecting a lot since European servers usually put me at like 150ms ping. Got like 2-3 mini spikes in like 3 hours of gameplay of fh5 and deathloop.

No downloads, fast loading and I can switch tabs and continue browsing at any time, I’m sold.

That’s pretty crazy. But don’t you void warranty that way?

AllianceOfficer · October 3, 2022, 11:40am

Who is this

Staffy · October 3, 2022, 11:42am

Isn’t Fandom basically all the Wikia pages for games, movies, shows etc?

Failwood · October 3, 2022, 12:09pm

Yup.
