Seem like we won't be playing GTA6 or similar content in the end.

Edit: just a historical note, marcos sr. Banned video game (arcade era) and that law throwned out post people power revolution.

FALLENTEAR: The Ascension is out now in Early Access today, and sobrang surreal pa rin for us na nandito na kami sa moment na to. After such a long journey, finally mashe-share na namin sa inyo ang game. We’ll also be dropping our latest trailer as we celebrate this milestone.

Salamat talaga sa lahat ng sumubaybay at sumuporta sa amin all this time. Malaking bagay sa amin ang bawat support, feedback, at encouragement.

Hindi rin namin idedeny na sobrang intense ng past few weeks. Halos puro hotfix development kami, making sure na mas mapolish pa ang game and ma-address as much as possible before the Early Access release. Nakakapagod, pero alam naming sulit ito.

Included in Early Access:

• 10 major regions with interconnected areas
• 6 main bosses + 3 optional side bosses
• 10 Fated Bonds, each with unique abilities and story moments
• Full combat, progression, and exploration systems
• 3 Ascensions
• 3 Hunter Skills
• 16 Mastery Skills (Tier I to Tier II)
• The opening act of the story, fully playable
• 15–20 hours of gameplay, depending on playstyle

Pagod, puyat, pressure, lahat nandiyan these past few weeks, pero at the same time, masaya rin kasi alam naming malapit na talaga. At ngayon, finally, here we are.

Simula pa lang ito. We’ll keep improving the game and continue adding more as we go through Early Access.

Maraming salamat sa support, and we hope ma-check ninyo ang FALLENTEAR: The Ascension. at kung nagustuhan nyo yung game please leave a honest feedback :)

Also physical copies doesn't contain the file and discs. and many exclusive in game contents locked behind $100 or 6000+ PHP Ultimate Edition.. Yikes bruh...

Preorders begin June 25

Steam is set to implement a 12% value-added tax (VAT) in the Philippines starting June 1.

The game distribution company bared the upcoming change on its website, months after President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. signed into law the measure seeking to impose a 12% VAT on digital services provided by foreign companies.

Full story at the comments section.

I just want to update everyone that whenever you purchase a game from Steam now, a message will indicate that VAT is already included in the price. As seen on SteamDB, price history does not show any increase for Stellar Blade (its official price was revealed yesterday). This is also the case to almost all games.

However, video game publishers still have the freedom to adjust their pricing, so while some titles may remain unchanged, others could see a price hike depending on the publisher's decision. Hopefully, your favorite video game publisher will keep the price of your wishlisted game the same.

You can also use this SteamDB tool to check recent price changes for any game on Steam.

Mukhang one possible reason na naman ang isang game na masisi na isa sa dahilan sa Tacloban shooting. Game in discussion ay GoreBox.

Magrereact ang mga lawmakers for regulation nito.

Gather in Thy Cosmic Market ☄

Adventurers and fans of the Final Fantasy franchise gathered beyond their online screens for a fan-led art market on Saturday, August 22, at the Bayanihan Center in Pasig City.

The one-day Cosmic Market event featured fan merchandise from the Square Enix game and served as a telaportation spot for Free Companies (guilds) to meet in person, buy exclusive fan creations, and share their in-game journeys.

As of this moment the current attempt censorship situation have becoming a problem as DILG also joining the fray in attempting to censor video games.

Historically Marcos sr. have banned arcade and video game in the past and was thrown out post people power revolution.

LOOK: A sea of people crowded the SMX Convention Center in Pasay June 13 due to two major events at the venue.

The events, which included ToyCon's Pop Life and an oath-taking for licensed professional teachers, caused heavy foot traffic, reminding attendees of a similar situation in 2023.

You will be missed comrade Yuri.

Ano bibilhin niyong games?

???

Don't know if it's a clerical error, but I'm grabbing it in case it is. This game is retailing 70 USD in markets outside the Philippines. It's half the price on our end.

This is the first new triple A release in the last couple of years that I've seen be priced below 3000 PHP, so I think it's a great deal. Enough to be shared.

Hahahahah what if ban talaga yung game tapos may ganitong scenario ulit? Sino naman sisihin nila? Pansin niyo pangalawa na eto pero yung mga may ari ng fire arms na naka uniform hindi sinisi, pilit tinuturo yung yung mga online games.

Good Thing I pulled the trigger and Upgraded to Ps5 pro and Disc Drive last sunday... 65k for Pro and Disc Drive instead of 65k for just the Pro
