Yeah I'm just gonna think of it as Demon's Souls, I don't actually mind if it doesn't come to PC, I bought my PS4 primarily to play this game lol. Then again I haven't really played Dark Souls 2 on PC yet so I haven't yet been spoiled with the 60FPS Souls, I still need to toughen up and finish off the last portion of the first game! Please someone encourage me to finish Dark SOuls!

on the subject of port begging. I don't see how this is annoying. Well, it can be in OT, for example, but people stating that they want some games on whatever platform? what's wrong with that?
oh, you mean they don't update it simultaneously? I haven't noticed, thanks.
seriously? I somehow thought it's a daily...
oh well
not to mention that mostly I want games on gog and steam, as they are indefinitely accessible, and not dependent on hardware cycles, for the most part. In my eyes it makes perfect sense to want a game on PC. I hope you guys don't get annoyed by me wanting games (._.)

Same here, I was slightly regreting my PS4 purchase, got it a few months ago and barely played it, but things are looking much better now, looks like my PC will get some competition for my time.

The number 20-12 of the Must Have Indie Games on GMG are there but where are the 30-21 ones?
The site layout is horrible!

Maybe Capcom likes your pic.
we're pieces of shit 'cause we deal with russian traders and we're the worst scum of the earth now 'cause we port beg. Mos Eisley ain't nothing compared to the SteamGAF Community.

Wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise as I'm not a fan of acting innocuous and then turning around and constantly shitting on someone behind their backs which has been his schtick for quite a while.
no
Same I was slightly regretting it for awhile as well, but Last of Us PS4 was the first game to pull me away from PC and Steam gaming in awhile. Excited to see what still comes out since it hasn't even been a year yet and happy that the PS4 might actually be getting more games. My consoles have basically become exclusive players (Wii U and PS4) while my PC and Steam have become my main gaming area where I play all my Multiplats, Indies, pretty much anything that's not on the other 2 consoles I own. God do I love my PC though, especially with how easy Steam organizes all my games and allow me to start playing. Plus I love knowing that I won't ever have to worry about resolution or framerate problems for awhile with my current rig. ( I did buy a new Monitor recently, but I went with 1080p, I wish 1440p Monitors would finally be cheap, they're still so expensive :-/)
My post still holds true.
The old deals are replaced with the new ones. There really wasn't much of note, The Bridge was $2, that's about all I considered buying.
Considering he's one of those traders who tried to drum up his business in this thread when Dunder retired, he's not exactly someone who should point fingers.

I am of those, ha. Was thinking, how do we know Evilore doesn't think russian trading is bad too and won't come cracking on us, like with PopGaf. I doubt it but SteamGaf is an insular place.
Ah no. Wanted to grab The Bridge as a gift
Too late it seems.Just checked. It still is at reduced price?!

They still can't get the jerseys to sit on the players shoulders correctly?
Hover shirts are the worst.
where you at? What's left?
Well, at least it can handle traffic now, I remember not being able to access gmg if anything good was on sale even couple of years ago, and even when I could get on it, it was extremely slow. That's why I can live with horrible layout just fine (><)

Yeah, I've played all of the Souls games on PS3 so far, so PS4 would be a step up for me, performance-wise. I obviously wouldn't mind if Bloodborne came to PC (and I would buy it there if it did), but it's not going to happen, so whatever.
You should definitely finish Dark Souls. When you say you only need to finish the last part, I assume you mean you've already beaten Anor Londo. If so, you're already through the toughest bits. There are a few challenging parts after that, but if you've made it this far you should be able to handle anything the game throws at you.
There was a thread about this a week ago. The general idea is that derails discussion. It's not a problem to want games on your favored platform. But how you choose to express that desire could derail a thread. If you go into a Bloodborne thread and post "I wish this was coming to Xbox" (or do a similar thing to an Xbox exclusive) it adds nothing to the discussion, and only serves to start an argument.
If you make a post in SteamGAF about games that you think might later come to PC, or that you would want to come to PC, it's generally fine. It is a worthwhile discussion topic, and it's unlikely to start a fight. Of course it could still get out of hand if the thread devolves into page-long lists of everyone's most requested PC ports, so it's not like we have a free pass to port beg in this thread. It's about being smart about what you say in a way that encourages discussion and doesn't derail a thread.
Here's a (long) post by Stump on the subject: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=99226163

Yup, just saw it, too
Grabbed a couple things.
First time buying from GMG. I am logged in via Steam. Why do they want adress, phone etc.? All those bundle stores never wanted much info. Whatever.
Nice I'll probably be picking it up on PC this year then. I hope they don't do all the Microtransaction BS like what happened to the PS4 version last year, I actually didn't pick up an NBA2K game for the first time ever last year because I was afraid of it so I just stuck with 2K13. I hope they do the nice 30$ pricing again too.
I finished Tomb of the Giants and I think I'm supposed to go to Duke's Archives or Valley of the Drakes next. After Tomb of the Giants and The Bed of Choas, I needed a break from the game for abit. This break needs to come to an end soon, I need to make sure both Souls games are finished by the time Bloodborne is in my hands!

All these incoming changes, i'm not seeing the CYRI-esque feature that Valve talked about at the beginning of the year, it must still be a WIP.

I thought Crysis 3 was the worst of the franchise. There are some areas halfway through the game that made me believe it would actually be good but the last hour of the game is so incredibly underwhelming and dull that it ruined the whole thing for me. It's also really, really short.
I'll take C2 any day of the week. At least it had a campaign you could sink your teeth into and didn't feel rushed.
Sure it had some open areas but they really didn't make the game more interesting imo. More like a failed attempt at trying to recapture what made the first game good.

Much obliged. Apparently Steam doesn't put the latest announcement at the top.
ouch.
I think actual dealing with providers of retail keys (that might be stolen) is frowned upon by the mods. Steam gifts trading is fine, IIRC... even though that guy (whose name escapes me) thought we were all pieces of shit and criminals because we were discovering alternatives for paying less than we were supposed to. Or something.

So who here has a collection of big box PC games. I'm curious.

Oh shit! I am an idiot!
I bought Binding of Isaac on GMG and after finishing transaction I didn't get a key.
Turns out it was Capsule-DRM. No Steam key((
Wanted to gift Isaac to someone.
All of my Playfire credit wasted. Damn. Damn, this hurts.

I still have a few closets full of them.
They're nice, even if most of them are full of 5 and 3 inch floppies

You could always ask the dev to hook you up.
Maybe he's cool.

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.
I used to, but about a year ago I set out to consolidate them all down into DVD cases - one per game. I saved any manuals that would fit in the DVD case. I printed out custom artwork (with matching layout and logos) and have them on display with the rest of my console games.
I took the boxes themselves, flattened them, and sold them on eBay for way more money than I thought they should be worth.
I have about 100 or so PC games like this on my shelf at the moment. It looks absolutely fantastic, and my wife is happy that I don't have a ton of old PC game boxes laying about the house.

Just asking the Dev for a steam key? Would he even care and I don't even know how to get into contact at all.
I didn't download the game from GMG via Capsule (I don't even have Capsule).
Is GMG cool with refunds?

Me, I bought a shitton of PC games during the 90s and 00s (+ Amiga earlier, even C64). But they're sitting in the attic in big cardboard boxes so it's not a collection I can relax and stare at. One of the exceptions is the biiiig WC3 Collector's Edition, that I'll always keep close by.
What, you sold the boxes without the games? After flattening them? And you got money?

Yeah typically GMG is okay with refunding Capsule games that you haven't downloaded or played, but sometimes their support is pretty hit or miss.

Its like 99c a lot on steam, and damn worth 10 dollars
I'm starting to think that X-Blades is in one bundle or another every week.
Then again, even on Steam it's only 1.49$ right now.
Valley of Drakes is optional. Duke's Archives is pretty but can be very frustrating (and you can sequence break it to skip most of it), especially if you dislike ranged enemies and casters. Some would say Duke's is worse than TotG but I'd kinda disagree - I had a far worse time in that godforsaken pitch-black cave than I ever had in the Archives... though I'd see WHY some might have a harder time.
And, funnily enough, during my first playthrough I barely had any problems with the Archives. During my second playthrough with a different character, I died constantly. Oops.
BROTIP: You might want to invest in a Ring of Sacrifice.
I don't think so, especially after you received your key.

I bought Ninja Blade from them last year which also turned out to be a Capsule Download. I didn't download the game and immediately asked for a refund. Not only they refused but they insulted me as well
I don't but I have been thinking that if I had money to spend I would start collecting physical PC games. On Kickstarter you often see those as rewards. It's not uncommon to see a cool box either. Gone Home for example.
It's apparently the same deal as Ryse and Dead Rising 3. The difference is that this time the pressure forced MS to spill the beans.
I heard Duke's Archives is alot like the ending stair portion of Tower of Latria from Demon's Souls with the Spiral staircases. If it's really like that then I won't have any problem, I actually found Tower of Latria pretty easy haha. And yeah I don't see how anything could be worse than Tomb of the Giants, even with the sunlight maggot that whole area is still a bitch.
Even more reason not to use GMG, I spent all my playfire credit on the Dishonored DLC's so I'm pretty much done shopping there (not that I ever really shopped there much in the first place besides buying Deus Ex HR along time ago and recently the Dark SOuls 2 Season Pass and Dishonored DLC)

Which created the Playfire-abusing criminal kingpin we all hate and fear.
Incidentally, did someone make that "Square Enix just shot themselves in the foot" jokepost?
