I thought I'd start this up as both a kudos and WARNING for anyone getting ready to buy stuff on Steam. See, the biggest problem with Steam is you can't review something you don't own on there, even if you own it on another console or have owned or at least played it in the past. On top of that, if you do own something, even if you give a negative review of it, it still comes off as a recommendation anyway.

While I intend to put some of these in Steam Roundup in the near future, I'll start with a few obvious ones. If you guys have any you'd like to add, feel free.

Agarest: Generations of War

At an initial glance, this looks like a fairly standard turn-based SRPG with interesting team attack elements and dating sim aspects from the makers of Thousand Arms. What's not to love, right? Unfortunately, there is one element that ruins this game before it even gets a chance to take off: Idea Factory. Yes, the creators of the absolutely terrible Generations of Chaos and Spectral Souls games that have been plagued with odd slowdown, load times, and all kinds of terrible design flaws felt the need to double dip their junk in this would be gem as well.

I owned this one for the 360 for a bit and honestly, I gave it a fair shake. The combat was slow, clunky, and boring. The crafting system was confusing, nonintuitive, and just plain not fun. In fact, what they advertise (the implied gratuitous sex stuffs) doesn't seem to happen until well later in the game, meaning you don't even get what you want early. Definitely give this one a pass.

Nice job man. If you want to catalog them here and then put them in a round up post, please do so.

Well, the main problem is I don't own these on Steam. I usually only do Steam games that I actually own on Steam Roundup.

I don't know, I might have to amend it a bit, but I mostly wanted to put that out there because Idea Factory is sneaky about that kind of stuff. There are obvious others like Deathtrap Dungeon and...Daikatana...but yeah. I'll find a few others over time, I'm sure. And it's not all bad. I want to provide kudos for stuff that's actually decent and worthwhile, but that I'm not purchasing a second time.
