Isn’t it more like a sci-fi show masquerading as a western? I mean the basic premise is robots dressed up as cowboys...

You’re my kind of person.

It would be at least the fourth -

Or the third -

Or the third -

London has more murders with knives than NYC has with guns now

It’s mostly Star Wars. I feel like Star Wars was the jumping off point.

I never said that it was available for most of the world, it’s just that you said that it “as of now only includes NA (if we ignore closed/preview betas)“ and I’m telling you that, for all practical purposes, closed beta seems to mean nothing in this case.

How am I arguing with myself?

I just realised this week that they’ve started (and almost finished) Armada, so I guess I’m going to have to start reading that now! Or I might just listen to the podcast anyway, I’m sure it will make about the same amount of sense.

Spoiler alert - iOS/Android devices also have touchscreens, and the iOS/Android version was a port of the DS version anyway, so either way the version that has ended up on Steam is a port of a version designed for touchscreens. I was assuming that, as they went to the trouble of remapping the iOS/Android controls to…

I just got an Oculus Rift so I’ll be playing anything that’s cool in VR including, but not limited to, any free experiences that the Oculus Store thinks I should try, Elite: Dangerous (if I can figure out the controls), Redout (if it’s not vomit-inducing) and Payday 2, since they were nice enough to give the VR…

Yep, that’s pretty much the whole book.

Have you been listening to a certain podcast, by any chance?

That’s a description worthy of Ernest Cline himself!

My favourite bit of terrible description was where they go to an ‘80s themed dance club or something and the description is basically ‘It was an ‘80s themed dance club where everything looked like it was from the ‘80s and everyone was wearing ‘80s clothes and had ‘80s hairstyles and there was ‘80s music playing and…

Well then I guess the beta isn’t that closed because I’ve never heard of anyone not be able to access it. I told a friend about it last month and he got a trial and played The Last of Us on PC - no invite required, no prior participation - he created a PSN account just to play it. Nor did I have an invite when I used…

Yeah, but they didn’t pay for a digital license of the SNES version, or the DS version - they paid for a digital license of this shitty port, so that’s all they’ve got the rights to play. It’s a shitty situation, but the first reviews should have put everyone else off buying it (they did me) and anyone disappointed…

Okay, so re-read the post you replied to and replace ‘SNES’ with ‘DS’ and the point still stands - it would be a better ‘port’ if it was simply a ROM running via an emulator (which Sega have managed to do with Mega Drive games on Steam quite well and successfully), so basically any effort that Square Enix have put…
