in other news of my absent time I might move to Miami in like a year or two apparently..

is steam gaf there or am I moving to another barren land

I'm actually moving there in the spring :D I'm excited.

--

So since I'm kind of tired of Hearthstone and the recent Magic release got terrible impressions... can anyone recommend me a card game on Steam? Should I just play some of the older Magic games? I'm up for PvP or PvE, doesnt matter.
 
Wow, I won Binary Domain. Thanks salazar547!
Enjoy SteamGAF! And please only enter if you're genuienly interested in the game. It's a new release and some peeps in here really anticipated the game.

Damn, such a great thing from you! Damn, I am throttled. Damn.

Tempting...
...but I'll pass.
Why do you never enter giveaways? Is that collector honor code thing, where you have to have bought all your games by yourself?
Interested in what drives a professional collector (and celebrity stalker).

some people are getting realllllllll upset over some old ass halo games coming to the PC, like halo games on the PC is some back-breaking shit for MS or something

Imagine the meltdowns if an exclusive like Bloodborne ended up on PC.

The selfishness displayed in threads regarding exclusives is certainly something. This can only be on my cherished platform! How dare you ask for it on a superior one!

The fact we have exclusives to begin with is stupid, but the fact people live and die by them is just staggering.

Exclusives mean less people get to play games, who gives a flying fuck what the platform is....

I'd be curious to know how many exclusives LITERALLY drove someone to buy a new console.

I know you have a beefy PC. Care to make some high-quality webms besides your high-quality screenshots, once you get your hands on this game?
Your screenshots are usually really good. Wonder what you could achieve with this game in webm.

Never made a webm before. I'm just enjoying the game atm since downsampling doesn't seem to be an option and I feel lazy.

Sorry breh.

The talk of Xbox ports on PC and the Broforce video featuring Dolph Lundgren remind me, I hope we get Super Time Force soon. Or at least some info. Was slated for a "summer" release.

Yet here's the flipside: making an exclusive allows things that multiplats don't. I mean this is very ironic when you think about it. Take Star Citizen for example. What if it couldn't be an exclusive? It couldn't be Star Citizen. It's as simple as that.

With console exclusives platform owners sometimes take risks to boost their platform as a whole rather than trying to make the game invidually succesful. I'd argue that's what Wonderful 101 on Wii U is. It was PlatinumGames' most expensive game and it still is. Who would have funded it to be a multiplat? From save dev comes another example which is Bayonetta 2. So my argument is as follows: exclusives allow games that wouldn't be possible otherwise exist. That's why I hope exclusives never go away. Of course there are different kind of exclusives but that's another thing.

Do you legit like Vegemite/Marmite?

Marmite is awful and should be rid of utterly; Vegemite, though, is awesome and should replace the Union Jack on the Australian flag.

Is Australium real?

That's for me to know. ;)

I don't enter junk giveaways, because someone might actually want to play the games; I don't enter licensed game giveaways for the same reason; and I don't enter giveaways for games I'm genuinely interested in since I can buy them for myself.

how crazy would it be that i'd actually move to the place where my 3DS address is set to to avoid taxes

Hey, i live in miami!

It's far from barren but it also depends on what you like to do socially. There's always something to do, just a matter of going out and, well, doing it!

I've noticed a lot of disappointment that MK10 (unconfirmed) isn't exclusive to next gen consoles and pc. Yeah, yeah being held back by outdated hardware, but clearly there are cases for exclusives.

That's right I will gift the winner his top wishlisted game or whatever game he wishes for. From Galactic Civilizations III to Bad Rats. Price doesn't matter. Some extra rules

-I will not buy any software or ridiculously priced stuff (Train Simulator DLCs for example)
-I will not buy any removed games that require searching for copies on trading sites
-If you want a game that doesn't have a store page yet (GTA V,Evil Within etc), it's ok. I will gift it to you the moment it's available on Steam

Don't be afraid to ask for something that may be expensive. Just be sure that it is something you really want and plan to play. There is a reason I'm doing the giveaway this way

I'm in Orlando. That's like a 4hr drive or so. We have player 1 here which you must experience. We should have a FLsteamGAF party there.

I really didn't bother looking into those threads past the first couple of pages due to there being more moaning about port pegging than actually anyone port begging in the first place.

No one really wins with exclusives apart from a fistful of executives.

Exclusives certainly drive people to buy consoles. It doesn't have to be just one game and a eureka moment where somebody is off to the store. But a building of exclusives definitely gets a lot of people to buy consoles. Ask any PC gamer. Hell, even I'm happy with my PS3, even if I don't use it a whole lot for actual gaming.

And exclusives are completely necessary. The industry would dramatically change without them, including the closing down of dozens of large, first-party studios, putting hundreds or thousands of people out of jobs and less games overall for us.

Awesome giveaway!

This might be a great way to finally roll the dice on Theme Park Studios or grab TiTs. Excellent.

Most of the exclusives people defend as exclusives would still be able to exist as multiplatform games.

That definitely isn't common. There's been no complaints like that for the port I ever heard of. You should be fine when you get back home and reload it.

Thanks. I'm only now making the transition to PC games, so I'm like a little lost kitten on a lot of this nonsense. Gracias~!

Really excited Resident Evil REmake is coming to Steam.

I might pick it up when it's cheap. Remake was one of the better Gamecube games in general, I'd love to finally pick it up again. And now I await REmake 2.

Why are you people so excited for Re1?
Seriously, one would think Capcom announced Dragon's Dogma PC port with all the shrieking going on here...

Because Remake is radical, it's one of the best RE games.

I almost had a tear in my eye when I saw the platforms mentioned in the thread title but no PC release mentioned. Thankfully that's not the case seeing as Capcom is on a role with Steam lately (well apart from Germany of course).

I miss your old avatar already :/

Supposedly AssCreed Rogue is coming to the PC in addition to the PS360. Here's hoping whoever runs the page isn't mistaken.

So this is what Comet turned into? I'm interested in seeing how the exploration of the Appalachia mountains and the northern Atlantic will be handled. I'm not expecting much since it's a spinoff though. If I can keep my expectations low, I won't be horribly disappointed.

And in another, more sane universe, Konami has just released Steam versions of HD Remakes of Silent Hill 1-4 and their stock has taken a huge increase.

I'd rather have true, not half-assed, remakes of SH 1-4 than REmake, to be honest.

Aussie made Crawl is coming out on Early Access tomorrow. Price will be 9.99$/€

Crawl looks so good. The trailer pretty much sold me on the game. I'm waiting until they announce the teased online multiplayer though.

Probably old. AssCreed: Rogue is PS360 only.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O85H4zECAYM

I feel lied to, Jase :(

It's probably going to come to PC as AssCreed Rogue HD/Remastered next year anyway :p

Got some scars, but I'm back. :)

Welcome back.

New HB is android-only.

I can definitely see why some people, mainly fanboys, would hate something like that happening. It was the only exclusive on the Xbone that really interests me (and that's mainly because it has Halo 2, a game that I have a lot of nostalgia for) other than D4. Which is great, because I wasn't going to pick up an Xbone anyway.

I bought a Gamecube for Tales of Symphonia, when none of Nintendo's first-party titles could get me to bite. >.>

(I know, I'm not helping here. But it does happen, especially when you're talking about exclusive games in popular franchises. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see every game on every platform, though.)
