So basically, the idea of a pre-load is downloading the game early so you don't get slow download times on launch day.

Not so much that, more so you can play the game on release day at 12-1 am if you feel like it.


Preloading VC now, HYPE ACQUIRED.

It's number 5 on the Steam charts now, hopefully the good word of mouth will continue to give the game some great long term sales.

Sega Japan probably coordinates the port as just "catalouge" sales. I think they will be for a big nice surprise, when it sells better than Boom and other anticipated games from them.

SEGA has done a fine job on the PC port, so anybody who played this on PS3 and fancies a replay at higher frame-rates and resolutions shouldn’t hesitate.

VC is getting outsold by Farming Simulator 2015 on Steam.

Ever wonder if we are just playing the wrong games?

Sega fans have wondered that for years....

The community and output historically for sims has been much stronger on PC than the anemic JP support, so I'm not all too surprised. Though I am slightly disappointed.

Sims are right up there with strategy as one of the few genres that will generally emphasize what many PC gamers tend to like. Making use of their control scheme to the best ability.

I certainly wasted many an hour on Microsoft Flight simulator.

I was curious as to the appeal as well, checking the steam forums it seems like it's actually won a lot of people over by being a fun and relaxing business sim style game. Same as people sinking into Theme Park or Roller Coaster Tycoon I guess.

I can definitely see a certain appeal to the game. It also has that 'hurr durr Farming Simulator so randumm XDD' that seems to be be spreading through Steam (Goat Simulator for example?)

Goat simulator is nothing BUT hur durr random, and has no real objective. It's youtube fodder to the fullest.

GMODxInternet: The First Strike game is basically what I see it as.

I liked Harvest Moon so I have no problem with farming simulators.

I was under the impression that Farming Simulators sell well, especially in Germany.

And in Germany they're meant to be massive sellers if I recall correctly.
