Well, it just gets a bit too focused on regular participants and interactions between them at times, even more so than a lot of community threads I visit. All in good fun, of course. I don't see this as a particularly negative thing, but not as a particularly positive one either.

At times? You mean constantly?
I wonder what's up, it's been over a month since Feep sent them.

That's not a problem for me as long as I own the platform the game is debuting on. I want it to come to PC like you or anyone else.
I see where you're coming from, just started posting regularly ish, and there's definitely a group of well known gaffers that could appear cliqueish, but everyone here seems really cool. At least i haven't been forced away yet, so you're all cool for that.
Also the amount of giveaway's blew my mind when i first started coming here during the sales, and that helped me warm to steam gaf for sure, not winning stuff, just seeing such generosity to strangers.

The game appears to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and in the past that meant it wouldn't come to PC. Maybe things will be different with the PS4, though.
I laughed. Of course, I saw it after seeing the warning and I just watched Event Horizon yesterday morning.
Salsa getting banned sucks, but I get it. Derrick was just begging for it.
All these new cards. I now have enough to get Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Hell yeah.

There have been plenty of Sony indie exclusives hitting Steam recently. It's a possibility that the same could happen here and I would prefer not to double dip on the game if I don't have to.
Really? That one? Seems a bit harsh for something so silly.

Don't do it, don't taint your Steam collection, give the code to someone you hate! Bad Rats style.

Ok, I thought you were referring to an inherently negative interaction to someone outside of the 'clique.'
I felt like half of today's conference was an advertisement for PC gaming.
I would have taken it down if I had known it was so bad. Doesn't seem to be particularly offensive to me.
So. you're stuck to visiting 2 threads for the rest of your stay on GAF

Cross-buy between steam and PS4 is the last missing piece of the puzzle.

Since I got Bad Rats during the summer sale, I am embracing the taint. Thank you.

I'll probably buy most of the indie games there on the PS4 even if they came to PC. Would be nice to try them out on the new system and I doubt many of them would benefit from crazy 4K downsampling and the like.
If they came out day and day on the PC though I'd probably get them there.

Every game would benefit from 4k. And 60 fps or higher.

Suppose I was talking more about the pixel art and lo fi stuff. Seems like most of the games would be 60 FPS on the PS4 anyway but we shall see. At the very least none of them will support 120 FPS so I suppose the PC will always have that potential advantage depending on the hardware used.

Hell yeah, GTA V preordered. I guess I'll be seeing some of you in Los Santos, come September. Or is most of the Steam crowd waiting for the game on PC?

I'll be double dipping just like the bastards want me to.

I think I'm going to wait for the next major update before going back to playing Sir, You Are Being Hunted. Right now the detection and evasion are kind of busted.
The hot air balloons see you through buildings and objects. Even though there's no clear line of sight, you will just be detected. That's annoying but the real problem I've found is breaking the line of sight of the swarm that starts to pursue you.
When you run through brush, it doesn't partially obstruct their visions, even though they shouldn't be able to see you through the vegetation. When you dive in the tall grass, 100% hidden when crouching, and keep moving, the robots keep chasing you as if they can see you. One of the hints from a loading screen states if you are being chased and break line of sight, the robots will stop and search the area they last saw you. Currently, even though the stealth indicator shows you as completely invisible and you've put some considerable time and space between where the robots saw you duck for cover, they will walk directly towards you as if they can see you.
The only time I've managed to successfully lose the robots is when there was an object between them and the tall grass, like a fence, that they have to path around.

There is nothing lo fi about Rime or the that Rapture game from the Dear Esther team.
Ask Sinatar, he obviously read it in the same way =p

While I agree, I can tell you that anyone I know who games here or in my immediate family has no idea what these games are but when they see them on PS4 they see the potential to play them. That means they have a less than modest rig, don't want to deal with the hassles of PC, like the comfort and ease of a console to just basically power on and play, and other things they just don't want to be bothered with including sleep states. I know PC has this but I know at least 1 friend who wishes this for a console but never gives PC enough credit for doing this.
The fact that PS4 will work like Vita and basically put it in a low power state while preserving the game is really big for me as I constantly have to put a game down to go run errands or even go to work.
I veered off into further OT there but the main point is that I can imagine even a great PC game getting that much more exposure on a console that will be bought by millions this holiday season.
Getting it on PS3, but I'll definitely double dip if it comes to PC, which it definitely will.

Was speaking more about the indie games revealed in general such as Hotline Miami 2 and some of the first games shown. Forget the names but one of them was an almost PSP esqe 2D cave based exploration game and there were other 2D side scrollers.
Suppose it all depends on how much aid Sony is offering. If they're helping them making the games with SSM's support or what have you such titles probably won't show up on the PC.

Actually most wont be 60 fps on ps4. Theif is 1080p 30 fps on ps4.
I'm not 100% sure about the codes, sorry in advance if they are taken but I'm almost sure they're not.

Edit: He says he was banned for posting a tumbleweed gif in the Fable Legends thread. He'll be back in a month.
Just catching up on the thread and the fact Salsa was banned. Today was my birthday and Saltsa knew it and I didn't even get a happy birthday from him. Making this image all the funnier.
Edit: Thanks for the birthday wishes guys.
Edit #2: Thanks Saltsa for Pac-Man after someone told him about this post. All I really wanted was a "happy birthday"!

Manhunt and San Andread are on Steam, right? So I'll here:
Got 75% off any Rockstar game for preordering V. Manhunt and SA are the only Rockstar games I don't have on disk or haven't played. I'm slightly against getting SA because I'll never touch it again once V comes out but does Manhunt hold up?
Only have enough $$ to get one

I'm talking about smaller scale indie games, I see no reason why Octodad or Hotline Miami would be 30 FPS.
Yep, I saw it. One of his best reviews in ages.
Also, are you getting GTA V on PS3? If so, I'll add you.

The game is rough around the edges, but I'm still having a lot of fun with it. Thickets are a major annoyance for me right now because the hunter's vision doesn't seem to be impaired in them.
