First game I ever beat in one day. Will always be the definitive belt scroller in my head.

Steam been threatening to decline my refund requests because I'm refunding too many games.

"It looks like you’ve requested a significant number of refunds recently. If you often have problems with your purchases, please submit another ticket so that we can help you solve these issues. Please note, that the Steam Refund Policy is not intended as a way to try out games for free. If we have reason to believe that the refund system is used in this manner, we may decline future refund requests."

So I'm sailing the high seas with a certain in-shape girl to try Slitterhead this weekend, wish me luck.

Funny part is: game has a demo, but it only covers basic combat, not the actual gameplay loop, which's more than that according to reviews and footage I watched, so I don't have enough information to make a call only based on the demo.

And to Steam: if you figure out a way to tag games properly and push for publishers to add long enough demos, I wouldn't be refunding too many games. Excuse me for not wanting to waste my money on games I'll never finish.

This games sucks anyway. If it's blocked in your country, go play Bayonetta.

Four operations away from finishing my The Wonderful 101 playthrough on hard!

I'm getting better juggling kaiju, but still not good enough to stylishly kill in one knockout. Sometimes I accidentally end up drawing a weapon too large and it throws off my timing… I'm trying to get more consistent at getting the size right.

I may stop and go back to get Platinums on all stages on normal before moving on to Hard 101%, but I haven't decided yet. I love this game!

I've never spent more than $20 on a game 😂 like ever 😂 CEOs be crazy.

The Plus R community have been begging ArcSys to release the source code for a long time—hopefully, this will push them to reconsider their stance on open source.

That's the thing, there really was never a better time for fighting games 😂 I know it sounds preposterous, but back then if your main was in a re-release, you had to buy the whole game again to play, now you can just pay for a character DLC, or a season pass, and both are significantly cheaper.

Balance changes can be an issue, I agree, but in terms of how much the average player needs to spend on a game, things have improved.

This is exactly what fighting games do though. A season is an expansion (new characters) and there typically is a balance patch after a new character drops, then they move on to a new season.

IDK what people who don't play fighting games think a season is, but judging by some comments in this thread, not every one seems to know.

Hmm… I don't see how that hurts, yes. Problem with fighting games is you cannot release new characters without balance patches otherwise you break the game for half your roster if not more. And people absolutely want new characters.

But locking games at specific points maybe is worth exploring, yes.

Yeah, this is not applicable to fighting games, not in the past, not now.

In the past: they didn't do live updates because the technology didn't allow it, but they re-released the same game 100 times (See how many versions of Street Fighter 2 exist as an example)

Now: we get one version + balance patches and DLCs, and decent publishers do repackages after every season to make sure the price of the base game + DLC doesn't exceed the initial price mark: typically $60.

I tried the beta… the game is not bad, but trying to turn it into the FGC's Fortnite was a bizarre choice.

If you're trying to make money in the FGC and beyond, go the SF6 route, not whatever this was.
