Have fun.

Overclocking performance, VRMs, Sound codec+noise Isolation, PCIE lanes, BIOS features, NIC quality/multiple NICs.

Off the top of my head.

So you pay more than double for these "small" things?

LEDs.....always LEDs

Why not just use LED fans then? I mean my PC has a lot of blue LED fans for cooling and some red ones so the GPU gets more power.

 

[Sarcasm]

More overclocking feature, and usually more durable.

Can anyone tell me whats the big difference between a 350€ Motherboard and a 150€?

And sometimes just more ports.

dont you hate when you buy a bundle (or something) on sale and then check your email a few hours later to see it was declined (by papal or something) and you have to rebuy at full price

Welcome to high end. You pay disproportionately for 10% better features than the other 90%. Bang-for-buck in typical consumer electronics always follows a bell curve.

Hit Beta -- MB-F6A0D91AB2672D6B - Taken by Zero-Crescent. 6 entrants total.

 

[Teggy]

Is there a way to get Steam to unpack a preload without having to quit the application? I always get stuck with a message that the game hasn't released yet.

 

[Pachimari]

shit man I wonder if not gettin an email means something about my amazon pre-order

I mean I got one sayin the order was fine and all but no beta email seems odd doesnt it

Seeing all of this Hitman talk, I'm worried, because I haven't gotten an email too. I wonder if this means, they'll close my account when it comes to release, because I'm using an American address.

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

multi monitor question

is it possible to move the image up or down when playing a game on two monitors and one monitor is vertical and the other horizontal?

I have this setup and it would be nice if I just could move the image a bit lower so the top isn't cut off on the right monitor

I know, kind of a fringe case

And no, I don't want to rotate the left monitor all the time just for one game

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Woah shit at the latest update for Consortium 2 O_O

Any backers of the Kickstarter are eligible for free games from that dev in the Consortium series forever!

Pledge now, become eligible to become a SUPER BACKER...
Each and every one of you who has pledged at the Consortium Initiate level or higher on Kickstarter will not only be able to keep your pledge and rewards when the intermission period ends, but will eligible to become a SUPER BACKER with us.
What’s a Super Backer? It means that in the future all games released by iDGi in the Consortium Universe will be free for you. Forever. This will apply to all pledges made up until the ending of our Kickstarter campaign, so if you’re sitting at the $5.00 pledge, or on the fence about pledging, you’ve only got a limited time to take advantage of this. There will be some more information next week on how this will work from a technical standpoint.

that is both amazing and kinda sad. They must be incredibly desperate for their KS to make it, man.

Sucks because they deserve more love

 

[Pachimari]

Hitman Beta live, better get unpacking.

Do someone have an extra code for the Hitman beta? I would really greatly appreciate it, if somebody is kind enough to send one my way. No pressure or anything, just asking.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Sucks because they deserve more love

Yeah definitely it's sad

Anyway I should have prefaced with this, the above is only one part of the radical plan!

So, what is our radical plan to save this campaign? Well - we were hoping to completely blow the lid open on the entire plan today, but unfortunately we aren’t allowed to just yet. The official announcement will be coming in a press release next week, but the gist is simple: The moment that the clock runs out here, this crowdfunding campaign will officially enter an intermission period. We have found a way to resume this campaign in just a few weeks’ time outside of Kickstarter or PayPal. You were the first supporters of The Tower, and as a special thank you we’ve got a bit of an extra treat.

Not all games, just Consortium games.

Edit: saw your edit.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

SFV PS4 shadows never get old

i could live with zero shadows if it means that backgrounds animate at 60 fps

I want to blame the PS4 for the PC version having this because there's no reason for the PC version to have 30 fps backgrounds except for parity's sake.

Shame too because Capcom had never done this with their 3d backgrounds before. It's an incredible eyesore

Kojima is insane.

I wonder how long it will be before Sony execs start getting sweaty palms. The guy is a mad man.

I thought you could increase Humble Bundle purchases to the next level for something like 30 days? Was thinking of going back and upping the strategy weekly but the option isn't there.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Funstock Digital (use FEB-COUPMAIL-HOT20 for 20% off)

Which reminds me, Dank Souls 3 is $45 at Funstock as well. Hoping GMG matches that soon or closer to launch.

edit: by which I mean having something closer to 25% off.

I still don't see what's so insane about that. Everyone nowadays wants to do open world games.

 

[yuraya]

I still don't see what's so insane about that. Everyone nowadays wants to do open world games.

After what he just went through with Konami and MGSV I think its pretty crazy for him to pursue something like that again right away. Something more ambitious than MGSV? Open world or not I think it will be very expensive. MGSV has like a million layers of really good AI.

Sony will have to cough up like at least 50 million for him to pull it off. If they build an engine from scratch again it probably won't release until 2020 or later.

about an hour/hour and a half from it being 24 hours since doing that Sega games thing...still no e-mail with a key

It seems like a bad idea on their part. Sure, they get a bunch of email addresses (created mostly for spam use I assume) for the newsletter, but now they're going to have a clogged support system and people reselling keys which will cut into post-giveaway sales.

 

[pantsattack]

Hitman, we in there.

[MUnited83]

Oh boy, can't wait for Kojima to work on his new ambitious project for 8 years, release it unfinished and filled with terrible open world level design and uninteresting bloat.

Yeah, they have now closed second round early too. They can always disable codes from activation. So reselling isn't that huge problem.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Huh! No high quality option for textures in The Hitman Beta?
Where is also TressFX? Don't tell me Agent 47 is bald and doesn't need it, I thought his coat fur uses it and so does some other characters.

There is a High Quality setting for Textures though...

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

It is greyed out for me. The only option greyed out for me. Yes it exists. It seems it isn't available only for the beta. This is weird TBH.

 

[yuraya]

Oh boy, can't wait for Kojima to work on his new ambitious project for 8 years, release it unfinished and filled with terrible open world level design and uninteresting bloat.

Keighley makes it sound like it but there is no guarantee its gonna be open world. MGS4 was a very linear game that was very ambitious. Had like 8 hours of cutscenes and cost north of 50 mil.

You never know what Kojima will do. Maybe ambitious means random generated levels or VR. Maybe its an mmo or somethin.

 

[rtcn63]

Started the beta, and it crashed to desktop after the first conversation. And there's no audio option and the subs didn't work.

 

[MUnited83]

It is greyed out for me. The only option greyed out for me. Yes it exists. It seems it isn't available only for the beta. This is weird TBH.

Seems to work fine for me.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Beat the Hitman Beta. It's not too bad. Isn't as easy as Absolution was. You can't really get away with playing as a shooter too much. Aside from maybe running to the exit. After I was able to do the Free Form mission and the last mission, felt it was a decent balance. There's enough extra additions to help players who might want it. Such as labeling the enemies that will find you suspicious and a detailed mini-map. Game ran ok on my GPU. Everything was low but it still looked alright. I might need to mess with my steam controller though. Aiming with the virtual analog felt a bit wonky.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Alright, so I absolutely love 999, Virtue's Last Reward, and the Ace Attorney games. Should I buy Dank Memeronpa? I got an extra $4.50 in my account so it'd be sub $20.

Even weirder. The high option for textures is geryed out in the launcher, but when you start the game, the textures are set to low and this is the only option available ingame.

 

[dex3108]

So SteamGAF when we compare The Witness release and Firewatch release what is better?

In 24 days The Witness is sold in around 82K copies on Steam.

In 10 days Firewatch sold in around 187K copies on Steam.

The Witness was priced 40$ and Firewatch was priced 20$.

Now The Witness is much, much bigger/longer game but when we look at those numbers it looks like that Firewatch made more money in less days and gained much bigger user base for future games made by this studio. Do we still think that price doesn't matter that much? Would The Witness earned more money if it was priced for example 30$? What is your opinion SteamGAF?
