I'd subscribe to Playstation Now if they offered PS4 games.

I'd subscribe for Trails of Steel and newest Gust games, but latter are not available, only oldest are, so it leaves Trails of Steel (if it will be available for PC users), now, if I can subscribe for one month and then play a game forever, I might do just that, if not, if it works like plus, subscription is totally not worth it for someone interested only in two longass games.

PlayStation Now Coming to PC, DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor Unveiled

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016...pc-dualshock-4-usb-wireless-adaptor-unveiled/
Regular ports of old pre-PS4 exclusives were already never in the stars, so it's OK for an ability to play them without the console but I don't like game-streaming and the price is not a sweet-spot.

The 7 day trial they offer for Playstation Now sounds good. That should be enough time to finish TLoU and Journey.

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.

Correct, you only get access for as long as you pay for it. If you cancel your subscription, you won't get to keep playing the games you already had access to.

yeah, considering that each Trails games is two-three-four months for me, that makes it most useless service under the sun for me, I like Trails, don't get me wrong, but that has nothing to do with giving sony $100 or so that I could play it on "PC".

Not really, no. The announcement of the official PC dualshock 4 dongle is nice, as you can already "Remote Play" games from your PS4 to PC - but you still need a PS4 to play PS4 games.

that would be stupid,bluetooth dongle can only connect to 1 controller.
so my guess it's a wifi adapter,the problem here is the DS4 we have right now has only bluetooth parts,maybe the new leaked DS4 has wifi enabled ,so.....OMG!

Monster Hunter is far more suited to PC and it's never coming either. Japanese gamers and their low standards for hardware ruin it for all of us.

I'm not so sure that's the case, as far as MH goes, lower reqs only would make it that much more popular on PC and it has a chance to be hella popular, seeing as PC folks like hard games.
Series are not on PC, because Japan don't play games on PC, or something like that.

You don't need to invest too much time in this game to feel rewarded. You get a couple of quests a day which lets you buy a pack and the RNG in the packs is quite generous. It has the hearthstone model but way more F2P friendly.

if you like it with 1 hour a day you will be more than fine...

getting smooth framerate >60fps and no tearing at very high preset in doozecks

why are people saying it's a bad port?

Yea makes complete sense. No one else in the world likes hard action games apparently. It's not like the Souls series sells a fuckton on PC in Europe and NA or anything. Nope, not at all Capcopomom.

Damn, I got scared shitless when I woke up half asleep and saw both Devil May Cry HD Collection and Okami in the same bundle. For a moment, I questioned my entire existence.

Oh, i had a crash during a cutscene

How does this work, exactly? There isn't a save import feature, right?

Are there set pieces that make up the "canon" ending and that's what you're playing in the sequel?

Well, with that i meant that all the augmentations you had (or not had) at the ending of HR seem to be default abilitys in MD and instead you unlock mostly new stuff. Altho hacking starts back at square 1.

The story doesn't seem to connect to HR all that much outside of the
Zombies being the reason for peoples fear of augmentation
.

But certain things seem to be canon, like that you killed all bosses in HR, there is even a recap video telling you that much.

Cus they got integrated gpus and can't max everything (exaggerating, a little)

I'm on high with a 770 and am getting 40-60fps, might just settle mdium but it sure is pretty. Only thing I hate is the mouse acceleration.
 
Deus Ex is great! Getting 60fps during gameplay with Ultra, no MSAA, only had a couple dips around 47-52ish range during a cutscene but during gameplay it's locked.

Also I like the sharpening filter, I think it looks better with it.

Vampyr reminds me too much of Murdered: Soul Suspect. Although the story was pretty good I hated it, so most likely I'll pass on this game.

Correct, you only get access for as long as you pay for it. If you cancel your subscription, you won't get to keep playing the games you already had access to.
So its using a Netflix-like model? I mean, there are maybe two or three games that might interest me, so if I pay for one month (that is, start the subscription and cancel it by the next month) I could just play those games or do you have to pay for both service and separately for games?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Ya'll get excited to give Sony 25 bucks to use your 60 dollar controllers on PC.

Valve puts their controller on sale for 35 and you're there having an existential crisis.

Oh, i had a crash during a cutscene

aaaand again, at the very same moment when
the explosion hits while your talking to that woman

Hmpf.

I probably should watch that one on YT, skip it in game and hope it doesn't happen in others as well.

Who's excited to hand over $25 when it's well known a $3 adapter works fine?

Also for myself and others, the Steam controller is doodoo.

All the games on this list are available in a Netflix-like subscription model without having to pay any extra. But as I mentioned earlier, you lose access to the games whenever you stop paying the monthly fee.

You 👏 can't 👏 even 👏 skip 👏 this 👏 five 👏 minute 👏 scene 👏 cos it's one of those cutscenes where you can move the camera around to pretend you're actually doing something.

€: God bless, it's going through this time! I only needed to watch this cutscenes thrice for that to happen 😉

I'm definitely more excited about the USB adapter than PS Now being available.

PS Now is too expensive.

Agreed. Good times on the USB adapter though. Man it's so good to be a PC gamer in these days.

Remember Gravis gamepads? Gross.

You �� can't �� even �� skip �� this �� five �� minute �� scene ��

Help me out here gang, when I parse this, is it a double-clap, single-clap, or more of just a jaunty snap. There is no way I conceptualize this trend that doesn't sound like some weird telegram with claps instead of stops.
