Nice, I totally skipped the link to his post!
Doesn't help how Kotaku almost hides it!
To all the amazing members with the amazing words towards myself, thank you very much. I'm glad those games found a good home. I'll be waiting for your impressions since I will need to know if I should pick them in the future or not. I know it's not the best AAA titles out there but I wanted something that could make more people happy,hence why I tried to spread the love. I'm just happy most of you liked and took the time to reply back in the thread. :,)
Thank you for this fellow GAFfer, I was worried that I could had somehow messed up because they were so many keys and last time I checked only key was redeemed. But then I saw they were starting to appear redeemed as time went by.

Was away for a couple days and just got back. So, SteamOS, SteamMachines and SteamController...
I am speechless.
The controller looks really interesting. Would love to hear some impressions, see some videos or try it for myself to fully understand it though. Singed up for Beta access and crossing my fingers now.
Oh, and btw, awesome giveaways the last pages. (Next time I will have to plan my vacation more carefully as to not miss them)

What happened to the supposed Focus bundle?

it's basically a console from Valve, but they aren't taking the responsability of imposing hardware restrictions to developers and keeping a open platform
It's still coming...eventually. Coul be next week, could be in a month.

All these positive developer impressions of the Valve controller
Is that ModBot at the end of the gif?
Next week maybe.
Went to EuroGamer Expo yesterday...
Overall if you wanted a nextgen consoles for visuals then your are going to be severely disappointed. If you have a PC that can play games on high or above. At this moment consoles are playing a catch-up game, even games like Killzone had visual problems such as terrible rain effects and slowdown in MP when things became too congested. Xbox One had other issues like no AA in BF4 Multiplayer although it was playing in a 64 multiplayer match at 60fps.
Oculus Rift is amazing, but the two problems I had were the low resolution screens inside the devices which hindered the experince, considering your eyes are so close to the optical device and screen you really do need a high density screen. I'm not even sure HD will suffice maybe 4k/8k. But for immersion it's fantastic, definitely a new way to play games
Wolfenstein, plays like a mixture of Bioshsock/COD, it's great as in the demo I was getting flanked by the enemy AI who went behind me as I decided to attack them from above, Seems like a very solid shooter.
This was the Minecraft tournament...
Dark Souls II was a lot easier to play with the regen mode., Devs are adding a more simpilifed combat mode as well.
Doom piano!
This was the playstation queue after 30mins...
Xbox queue
The new playstion controller is almost perfect. The triggers are miles better and tons better than the bumpers, not on par with 460 triggers imo, it's also very light and the trackpad is going to be great for PC gaming if it ever gets drivers.
If you liked the 360 pad you are going to love the new xbox pad, the Dpad is just fantastic to use, I might even say it's better than the current ps3 Dpad. the triggers are slightly bigger (same as ps4) and it's insanely light. My only gripes is the plastic they used on the front of thing as it fells really cheap.
Xbox One is about the same size as a VCR.
Ps4 looks smaller but wider...
Played Hotline Miami 2, it's amazing, the music is even better than the first game, gameplay identical to the first game. Rape scene is still in the demo build of the game.
There were a ton of new indie games as well, can't wait to pick them up on Steam, couldn't take photos of WatchDogs but it really is amazing.

I love those photos fellow GAFfer, thank you for taking your time and posting them as well posting your impressions.
I wish I could have been there. If I had a proper PC by now Dark Souls II would be pre-ordered since the first day I've heard about it, still not sure how I'm going to play that game, but I will. There's no way I will miss that one. Really hoping for better days to come next year.
Oh and I can't wait for the DS4 too, loving the controller so far.

lol Todd just changed his avatar!
Yeah and I must say Todd is the first gaffer to totally beat google inverse image search :-(
I use it more and more with all the intriguing avies of Gaffers, but here, the search engine cries for help. So Todd, if I'm not blind and this is indeed always the same girl you use as an avatar, WHO is she ?
The people want to know.

Thanks, The_Monk. This was a nice thing to wake up to.
I have my coffee in hand, fellow java fan. Tomorrow is National Coffee Day (at least here in the States).
I'm actually shocked this game has the second most number of entrants, hahaha. Ouch.

I'm kinda late on the Steam news but is there talk of a cheap box that you can connect to your TV and stream games from your PC to? Like nvidia shield?
Don't know but the art style looks awfully familiar to my ex-comic reader eyes.
And Rickenslacker stop, you're not seeing the full picture, I took the Jobs approach : you didn't know you wanted to know before I asked, that's how wonderful I am.

Indeed. Sorry, I'm not trying to make it a thing, she just makes me smile.
Thanks for posting the impressions Mr Orange. You got me bloody good with the Dark Souls 2 bit!

Does anyone know if PES 2014 already came out for PC? If so, why isn't it on Steam?
Konami pls.
Konami pls.
Available in retail for the last two weeks, there's even a 0.01 version of community patch.
Konami rep said on twitter they will try to put it on Steam whenever he knows when it will come out. smh

awesome, man. Thanks for the impression. Good to hear about Watch Dogs.

Thanks. I was hoping it would be Steamworks this year, bummer.
Fair warning: You probably don't want to reverse image search my avatar when around children or at work.
Also cool pictures Mr. Orange. I'm interested to see how this console war shakes out but it's good to know I won't have any trouble with PC games for a little while still.
Hotline Miami 2 will be a day one for me! I do wish they had gone a different direction with the music instead of it being more of a retread. I wish they had at least gone a bit more in the direction of 90s style EDM since the music for the first one fit the 80s so well. I coulda seen some big beat style stuff or maybe some jungle but instead we get the usual four on the floor stuff. Then again I haven't heard the entire soundtrack and I could just be judging too early. Either way I need some more blood pumping action where I'm sitting on the edge of my seat swearing like a sailor and pressing retry over and over again.

MRORANGE, thanks for the impressions. What are the DS4's sticks like?
Better than the DS3's the rings really do help so your thumbs won't slip, slightly stiffer as well.

If anyone's interested, I posted in the Trading Thread, got some good Steam games like Sir You Are Being Hunted available

Like Rionaa said I would just give the different control methods a go and see which you are most comfortable with.
I began with using the d pad on a dualshock 3 and then moved to a mad catz 360 controller using the shoulder pads. I never tried using a mouse as I as playing it on my laptop.
Hahaha, thanks for this. Very funny.
I played a little more, got up high to some very narrow ledge and got blindsided my a lightning bolt. This was after being eaten by a mimic earlier as well.
I can't stay alive long enough in this game to not be hollow, but I appreciate the sentiment. If I ever finish this game maybe I will do the same. Invading in Sen's Fortress seems downright evil.

Thank you, Li Kao, that's one of GAF's many mysteries solved for me.
Now, Baconsaurus Rex, reveal yourself (or at least your avatar).
Oh shit. The beta is already out for the first thousand?
They haven't bothered realeasing it on Steam yet, but it's available on Gamesplanet.
Konami sure knows how to reach the PC digital userbase!
I honestly cannot understand this.

I wish next-gen consoles hadn't skimped so much on power. The One is really going to be holding visuals back this generation.
Essentially, would have been outdated in 2010...
The one positive is I don't have to upgrade.
Were you playing the 720p version? Or the 1080p version?
Dark Souls II was a lot easier to play with the regen mode., Devs are adding a more simpilifed combat mode as well.
I'm kidding.
That was a dirty, dirty trick!
Too bad the Steam controller wasn't on display.
I believe the first 3000 are in now.
I made sure to leave the Terminator in at the end! You were then first to notice.
Give me a list of games you wanna play and I'll pick one for you!
PES has been terrible for the past decade, and Fifa 14 was on sale for like 20 dollars pre-order.
Even though I'm Brazilian, I hate all soccer videogames, but you're not losing much by not playing PES (WING ELEVEL as most of my Brazilian peers would say, incorrectly) anymore...

Yeah, it's like the only place where they don't have to compete with FIFA. Also, Football Manager is one of the most played games on Steam.
How blind is Konami?
Trying to ascertain the motivations behind Japanese publishers is like trying to rationalize an insane person.
Their decisions are devoid of sense and rationale.
