Yeah, let's talk about DOA instead.
Still upset that Arcade Edition and Ultra weren't separate subs?

It doesn't really work, at least didn't work for me. I tried to share FC4 with my brother, but when he tried to launch the game it asked him for the cd key.

LOL, Videogamer.com "pre exclusive scoop" for the Game Awards tonight

Bad Rats 2 announcement.

Bad Rats 2 announcement.
Was under the impression you can FC4 and Unity. Using ES for example, the box that says the sharing is restricted doesn't appear for Unity and FC4's game pages while it does for Black Flag and FC3.

It's probably a bug on Ubi's part, because you can share them but the person who has access to the shared library can't play (the games ask for the cd key)

AFAIK, any game that requires a third party application (GFWL, Uplay) doesn't work with Family Sharing. I could be wrong, but i believe that's how it works.

Serious talk! Valve prepared for Ubi's (and EA's) oversight. I'll edit in a visual example shortly. It's 5:30am and I'm struggling to use the internet. Australia.

Finally.
The stealth marketing campaign for Bad Rats 2: The Rattening that Steamgaf is secretly responsible for has paid off.
Maybe that will be an XBone exclusive. You know, even things out a bit.
Imagine if they use all the money Steamgaf gave them to hire actual competent people to make a good game.

Hahaha fair play. Considering I'm suffering through Kingdom Hearts re:coded I'd rather be playing Bad Rats right now. Actually having it as the cutscenes stitched together at least makes it plattable.

Yo, why is the game, Mountain, featured in The Game Awards sale?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/313340/
Also, they seem to still be adding games to the sale.

Sweet we can stream the VGAs on Steam! Although all I care about is potential announcements so I will just f5 gaf
This is typical of last year - expect games to be added at the end also, for those announced or related to those in the show. I'm guessing MGSV GZ will be up at some point

Isn't it because it's a nominee?
So my mind is officially blown after watching the 30 minute interview with Hello Games' Sean Murray on No Man's Sky. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...te-behind-the-scenes-tour-of-no-mans-sky.aspx
The entire video Sean was saying that any input to the generation function would always yield the same output, but the literal explanation of that didn't dawn on me until he used a Sine Function to explain himself. That is why they do not have to store any information about their procedurally generated universe, when two different people observe the same planet, it will always be the same thing, but it also hasn't been generated until they actually visit.
This formula that generates planets also generates creatures, enemies, ships, and other NPCs around the galaxy. They design and animate a base model, then generate an infinite amount of creatures from that model.
This game is the real deal.

Yeah it was pretty good. Important to point out that it is still going to be one Universe that everyone shares, which I assume means basically everyone is on the same servers with same formulas and stuff - so randomisation of those still allows for ridiculous variation but the possibility to find what others have found
I think it was nominated for something.

"Games for Change" wasn't it?
I was thinking "most pretentious nonsense", but sure, that sounds about right.

They will never pull it off. Sorry.
Go watch the video? Seems like they already did.
It's all Snake's fault. That bastard.Why is mgsv pre order still unavailable
Sorry you didn't get it :/... I'm sure something'll turn up!
Guess this is justified then.
Aaaand I'll throw this one in for good measure.

Sounds like another Spore aka booring..
Well the video shows that they have at the most basic level. The more interesting question, is whether those formualas/algorithms etc that stipulate the games preocedural generation allow for strong enough variability of all variables and as such how dynamic those worlds galaxies and overall universe can be
I'll judge the quality of their procedural generated content when the game is out. I can't help but think of Spore whenever I read or see something about the game.

Following an unsuccessful game of Remote Desktop Basketball, I'll just say that Family Sharing supports third-party games by default and that the onus is on the library owner to make sure their affairs are in order (i.e. keys are used).
