The WiiU is still the best current gen companion console for PC gamers. Xbone has Ryse, PS4 has Infamous and that's about it.

+1

Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
Xenoblade Chronicles X
New Super Mario Bros U
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Super Smash Bros U
Captain Toad Treasure
and many more

makes the WiiU a no brainer over the PS4 and X1, imo.
 
Nah till Bayo 2 comes out the Wii U only has W101.


And WiiU has what... um... uh... Wonderful 101?
Yeah, not worth the pricetag for me, that's for sure, even with Bayo 1 & 2 coming, especially when you factor in that Nintendo is still trying to get online right, didn't add some sort of trophy/achievement system, and most importantly ties your purchases to your system, not your account (at least they did and still do on 3DS, not sure if they actually fixed it on WiiU). :p

No thanks.

If you write off all Nintendo first parties than yea the WiiU looks quite bleak. Personally I don't care about achieves or online on consoles. I play all my online games on PC.

The Wii U still isn't getting many 3rd party games. :p

Most 3rd parties come to PC so I don't really care lol

Gotta spread dat pigeon love!

When I first saw that this game existed I thought 'what a crazy world we live in where young girls can pursue fantasies of pigeon boyfriends' little did I know that this game would slowly take over steam, steamgaf, and who knows maybe even the world.

I'm guessing I didn't miss much :p

It's August 1st already? Wow, how time flies.

So, is the PC version of TiTS as good as we all think it should be?

The Steam version is great, though it's buggy for some people. The only bug I've encountered is that the opening is messed up, but that's it.

The WiiU is still the best current gen companion console for PC gamers. Xbone has Ryse, PS4 has Infamous and that's about it.

Basically, but most people won't look into the system's library because lol nintendo.

Still salty that ZombiU was left out to die because of all of those game breaking bugs at launch.

if it's an anime game with quirk it is guaranteed to take over steamgaf.

No, you're still good.
If modbot makes a repost in... 16 minutes or so?
That one is a lie. Just like the cake in Portal.



I don't think it's too early at all.
If you like Halo, buy an Xbone, I guess.
Otherwise, PS4 probably has better overall exclusives lined up, I think. There's not a lot, but I'd got with the system that's not going to cost me extra for online (because I already have PS+), has Bloodborne and Uncharted versus Killer Instinct and Halo, and allows me to stream every game I buy to my Vita. :p
I was thinking more in line with the newer IPs both companies are bound to bring. Since we all know what were getting with the established stuff unless they go crazy and switch stuff around.

Wow, a Japanese FPS. Never would have found this, thanks for pointing out MrO.
Here's another gif showing the speed (gif is s bit sped up though).

It's probably just me, but damn if that doesn't make me think Noby Noby Boy would have been much better as a FPS.

Well I don't but I don't find their recent titles too fulfilling so that doesn't help but I've given them a shake. Out of the new ones I own neither is my companion and my PS3 and 360 get more playtime at the moment.

Seems like you have more WiiU games than Ps4 games considering Last of Us and TR are rereleases and Ground Zeroes is just a glorified demo

:p

I've never played TLoU before and I got GZ for a peak at MGSV and I'm pretty psyched for it now. Also if we go by those rules I only have 1 Wii U game since W101 is the only one I'm not considering selling off. :p
 
Wasn't that the game Turfster liked so much? Thought it came out around the same time as HL2. Looks pretty bad minding that.
That's the original SiN, which was contemporaneous with HL1. SiN Episodes came out around the period of HL2 Ep 1 and is also on the Source engine.

We never got to see an episode two and the world is worse off for it, we messed up the timeline somewhere.

Think I'm gonna keep an eye on idle master.
It's closed itself twice for some reason and I have the newest version.
 
Quick update on Necrodancer: That game, by being very simple in what it requires from a song, has some of the best custom music integration I've seen. The music does not to have a very constant rhythm throughout, so sadly much of your Dream Theater discography isn't gonna work here. VG soundtracks are great for it though.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Enhanced Steam version 6.5 for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox has been published. Changes in this version include:
  • Added the ability to add notes to games on your wishlist
  • Added current price data when viewing a Steam gift in inventory
  • Added "Visit Trading Forum" link to badge pages when you get level to level 5 of that badge
  • Added a button to view hidden spam comments on Steam Workshop and community pages
  • Fixed a bug that caused achievement sorting not to work correctly
  • Fixed active market listing total to work with new data format
  • Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause you not to be able to remove an item from your wishlist
  • Updated highlighting code to be more robust
  • Removed button to delete owned games from wishlist, as Steam now does this automatically
  • Removed "Remove from wishlist" link on store pages, due to change in Valve's servers
As always, let me know if you run into any problems using this version.

This worries me.. basically you can only listen to dance music in this game for it to work properly? Once I played Beat Hazard Ultra on the hardest mode using The Beatles' Revolution #9 and it was amazing.

No, it just can't be anything with too many time changes, basically. Also, i'm sure they will refine their beat detection software over time. I used a couple Clash songs and they worked too. Metal stuff works pretty well too. But if there are too many time changes in a song, it just doesn't come out well.

Should just bring TLoU and RDR to PC -.-
Just beat TLOU this week and, obvious first party technicality aside, I wouldn't have felt bad missing out on it. It's a fine game and the presentation is top notch but personally I found Alan Wake and Tomb Raider more fun. Was considering making a LTTP about it to better detail my thoughts but I guess I found a poor time to borrow the PS3 copy as threads for Remastered just tidal wave the front page and I don't feel the need to contribute to that.

That's not a phone.

Plus ZombiU was kind of a tech demo

ZombiU is better now that the glitches have been fixed.

It only took seven months for Ubi to finally patch it. That Ubisoft seal of quality™ :p

I don't get why people care about re-releases/remastered counting either for or not counting for a system. If it's on the system, it's on the system. Would RE4 not count as being a PC game since it's a re-release? List warz though, I guess :p

I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this, thanks.

Yeah, I'm all about games I enjoy. (If all the games I enjoy came to PC I wouldn't own consoles.)
