For what it's worth, I've undergone a huge heel face turn in regards to PC gaming over the past few months. I feel like a complete imbecile for buying the consoles when I have a perfectly good PC.

So, a proper PC version of BlazBlue, released without that GFWL -your mother is a classy lady-, hopefully integrated with Steam, and if not, at least sold on Steam, would make my day.

The 720p graphics and Daisuke Ishiwatari soundtrack are most pleasing to me on a close up monitor with headphones. Digital game service providers like Steam have pampered me with the convenience of social networking to find and play regularly with friends. I also don't like disc drive sounds getting in the way the music; this was a major problem with my Xbox 360. I also very much like not taking up a television and home theater system just to play a game online and deprive the rest of the household of the other uses for the TV.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't pirate whatever version of the game is circulating around. My service provider's network policy prevents peer to peer connections, and unfortunately the same restrictions also prevent online connections from consoles - advanced game networking from my PC still runs fine, which is another reason why I would very much like a PC version. That and the fact that some of my favorite musical pieces and characters are in Continuum Shift only makes me really wish there were plans to port it eventually.

I'm accustomed to waiting a long time for these things (been waiting for a sequel to the Longest Journey series for five years now), but I have also seen franchises I devoutly followed for years dissipate because they passed out of collective memory. What I'm most concerned about is that Aksys has given up development for the PC, which is why I hope I'm putting a small blip on their marketing data.

Pls reply..

Of course, I'd love a version of Continuum Shift to buy for the PC. My friends don't want to buy the Digital Only release of Calamity Trigger, because they're all excited about Continuum Shift and would rather have that. It is a sad state of affairs, but hopefully Arc will release CS on PC before whatever next major installment of the game comes out.

Aksys are good people, but they've made it clear that for whatever reason they don't want to do the work for a PC release. I don't fault them, but it does make me a little sad - their work on the game is phenomenal.

Yes, I actually liked ISUKA.

Look at SF4. That's why there will be no BB on PC.

It looks like alot of people missed this reply... ST4 was THE most pirated game of the year, and the reason where no Super came out for PC. It's pretty much THE biggest fighting game out there, and when the pirating rate is a MUCH high rate to the purchausing one, there is a reason why many companies hesitate for a PC release. Putting out all those resources isn't always worth the risk, sadly.

It's not that I'm not supporting it, but the truth. I love my PSP, and sometimes it's the same issue with bringing games on there too :/ Sometimes.

I hope Aksys Games decide to release this game for PC in North America. So far with the ESRB hinting and the releases in Europe and Japan, it seems likely to happen. I made an account here just to say this... if that means anything.

I bought it on eBay D:
Anyway, you can always see if you can buy through GFWL Marketplace.

Still dying for a PC port of CS (gave up on CT. Been playing CS on console for 4 months now, not much point.)

I have several friends who don't have 360s or PS3s who want to play this game, and I'd love to be able to play online with them. It's simply not going to happen if I just go "Hey, go buy a $300 console and you can play with me."

Seriously dying here. Pleeeaase. :\

Oh no, you can tell them "Hey, go buy a $300 console so you can play this and other games not on PC with me."

So, I just saw the ESRB description and

This is a fighting game in which players control one of several 13th century characters

pffthahahaha
Yeah, that totally explains why one character has guns and why the final boss is a robot.

That's Japanese animation for you. Anyways, I don't think Aksys will be involved in a PC port if one is ever made. Who knows...

I'm now playing it on my PC, and it's AWESOME!
The long time waiting has been rewarded.
