I wouldn't be veering away from it if I thought it was really really good. It's well made, but I didn't enjoy my time with it a whole lot. I pretty much finished the main missions before getting burnt out and shelving the game

You can put Metro Last Light down too, but as a few said, they aren't great, they tend to jsut give you the optimal, rather than the true performance.

I have the patience to wait so that I can experience the game for the first time on something a bit more modern than on one of my two old as shit "HD" consoles.

Completely opposite here. Best GTA game as a whole.
I got Takedown Team Sabre and haven't put one minute into it >>
As do I but when I have the consoles you can bet I will not stop myself from enjoying a game like GTA instead of waiting for an unconfirmed PC port. Besides, the game is amazing and I'd hate to not have the option to play it. PC only folk have on idea what they're missing.
After beating it last night, I came back for more and played another couple of hours. I don't do this kind of stuff anymore.
That PC version needs to happen asap.
Regarding performance, Rockstar stepped their game up on PS3 majorly. It's at least native 720p and looks great. The lighting is a major step up.
Might try Takedown today.
Should I change avatar too?
nuuuuuuuuuveeeem
Appropriate avatar?
lol
One of the games in the Groupees bundle I already had. Enjoy.

oh god is jase the new salsa now
Ok so after 100%ing or so Rayman Legends (not challenges) I needed a game to play. And it was late. And I was tired. So a quick short game it was : Rocketbird Hardboiled Chicken.
After a few hours I'm seemingly in the middle of this very short games and... it is not good. I remember trying 5 minutes of the flash version and getting hyped it was in the process of being ported but now that it is a thing, I must say I'm quite perplexed by the games.
It's not a global quality thing, it's not that I think it's good or bad or whatever, but man is it the most plain game design I have seen in a long time. So yeah the game is not a looker and I feel pumping it to 1080p in the option menu was an error on my part, but more than that it's the gameplay that stick out. Thee most complex orientation skill you will need is do I go left or right first. And then there is the gunplay, with bullet sponge enemies that keeps on bouncing when you hit then to give a feeling of power. Lore/writing wise, not a lot to see either, there is this quirky premise of a badass chicken vs commie penguins, but the only way the game seems to understands writing is by launching some rock music video with flashbacks of Hardboiled past. And to top it all one of the meaningful ones just bug and mute automatically, talk about atmosphere. Oh and for the time being, puzzle-wise, it consists of the incredible complexity of moving a crate over 10 meters.
Look, I know it looks like I want to assassinate the game, hate it with a passion and all but no, I was favorably entering it and am sorry that all I finally find in it is a game that would love Flashback and all, try to be Flashback and all, but fall short in every way.
It's not bad (it's not good either), it's just... I feel like I'm playing the equivalent of a bad fan art. There certainly is passion in it, there may be talent, but a game designer was needed. And a level designer too while we are at it.

I read some of the stuff about the online. I hope it's at least playable.

Good morning? Its afternoon bro.
Capcom games (granted, using Games for Windows) also do it. DMC4, Bio5, Bio6, and I think Bio:Revelations all do it. Lost Planet: Colonies Edition also has it.
Dirt 3 also has an internal benchmark.

You aren't the first person who I've heard rip the game apart after going in open-minded so I wouldn't worry about looking too much like a general game hater who buys stuff to shit on it.
Should I change avatar too?
Spelunky's distinct lack of gophers has ruined my chance at a groan-inducing pun.
If I'm banned in the near future, you'll have your answer.

This is on point. The game is very shallow and gets boring fast.

Only three hours left, I refuse to work until we know what's going on.
Yes.
I don't know if I'd want to replay any of these, though.

Hm, think I got gorky in a groupees bundle somewhere..
Yeah, they're all new. Where's Knights & Merchants?
You have good taste. Lets hope it shows up.

My guess on the big announcements.
1. Steam Community will be available on all major platforms. So it won't matter if you play on the pc, Xbone, or PS4, you will be able to interact with the steam community if the game supports it. Lots of games will support it.
2. There will be a dedicated Nvidia based pc spec for Steambox using a custom os that is Linux/Android based. Valve itself will not sell it but you will be able to buy it from multiple vendors.
3. A free to play first person shooter set in the Valve universe of Life 4 Dead / Portal / Half Life.

Yes. Knife & Brigmore form a duology and are the only story DLC. The other DLC is time/how many dudes can you murder trials stuff.
Gorky 17 was included in Be Mine 6; Septerra Core in Be Mine 5; and WWII: Panzer Claws and WWIII: Black Gold in TopWare Interactive Groupee.
I wouldn't hold your breath for Steam keys, though.

I'm thankful for 720p and the pop-ins are less annoying than in old console GTAs but the framerate gets bad when there's some action going on. And all that aliasing. It looks like something that suffers immensely due to the hardware it has to run on and that it's an impressive technical achievement is nice but doesn't help when the fps fall towards 20 or even below. The game itself is of course very good for what it is but I think I'm slowly getting tired of the same old GTA humor and mission designs. I don't know, there's too much going on to call the game a lazy phone-in but at the same time it doesn't feel as fresh and exciting anymore as it once did (I'll still play for many more hours, only at around 25% right now).

You started it.
I'm fairly sure we aren't seeing any new software this week. Valve employees have made it pretty clear that all announcements are Steam-focused. They could, of course, do it anyway but I don't think we'll see L4D3, Portal 3 or Half-Life 3, sad to say.

Would be kinda stupid to intruduce a console like thing without games to sweeten the deal.

When it first went up I could put it in my basket but couldn't bring myself to buy that early. Too bad, will wait for a sale. Or 15.
Unless you could use some or many of the games you already own. Then it wouldn't matter. I assume you'll be able to play Valve's games, just like Mac users were able to when they moved Steam there.
Looks like the Steam OS thing is looking more and more likely. Ubuntu is the word.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Please keep all Steambox-related trolling to the Steambox thread.
The regulars of the Steam thread should know better, dammit.

I guess I'll wait too. Maybe I'm gonna play some PES which I bought last week... for... 40 ~_~
