I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:

  1. Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
  2. Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
  3. God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the “beat’em goat” claim.
  4. The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat’em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
  5. Ketsui: again, all I can do is reiterate the “shmup goat” claim. Criminal this is not on Steam. Come on, M2.

Alternate editions of games we already have on Steam:

  1. Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
  2. Ninja Gaiden II: ugh, this one is obviously never happening at this point. I swear, even if they try a third time, they’ll most likely find some way to mess it up.

Definitely never happening: Pikmin. Nintendo suck.

    Just convenience, really.

    You could just let me be and reply with your “I need these games ported to PC” list if you have one. No reason to turn everything into an argument.

      I don’t recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don’t get me wrong, Steam is good but I don’t have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it’s frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn’t.

      He asked a legit question. You didn’t say “PC”, you said steam specifically. Why does the launcher matter?

      People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it’s still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.

        Maybe Steam competitors need to be fucking better then? Jesus dude. Steam is popular for a reason.

          Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they’re too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.

        “Fighting in favor of PC gaming monopoly”

        Jesus Christ, the drama. If anything, I’m fighting for Debbie Downers like you to let me enjoy my favorite shit in peace.

        I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I’ll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.

        But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.

        I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

              I mean… Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?

                Epic is anti-linux, so it’s an immediate no from me, dawg.

                Steam or GOG is the way to go for digital PC stores.

                  GOG doesn’t have a Linux launcher either so you’re already using a workaround, stop being a baby and just do the same for other launchers.
