That's too funny

I just read description of You must build a boat (for the first time) and apparently taking multiple quests at once makes a game harder, it never occurred to me, I'll try with one quest to see the difference.

this made me chuckle too

You must take credit for random chain combos you made no effort to arrange.

You must reconcile that despite the game’s title, you begin your journey in possession of what is, in no uncertain terms, already a boat.

You must look up at the clock and wonder how it’s so late already.

That description is really something

Sale threads about sales of PC games not welcomed by the mod staff now?
Click to expand...

I dont have a clue why. I mean for Destiny we had like 100 threads about mundane shit.
"How do you play Destiny. Tell us how to play it."
"Destiny. Show off your character."
"Destiny. Whats your favorite level?"
"Destiny. Share strategies."
"Destiny. NeoGAF Matchmaking."
"Which NPC did you like most in Destiny."

Uncharted has thousands of threads.
"Whats your favorite Uncharted cutscene."
"Uncharted is great!"
"Uncharted looks photorealistic, right! Lets talk about it."
"Is Uncharted better than Tomb Raider?"

These are just my impressions, not actual threadtitles, but I dont understand why these threads get closed.

The newest version of BlazBlue, Central Fiction, has been rated by the Taiwanese ratings board, and sadly there's no mention of a PC release. So I guess we'll be waiting a while for that one.

At least the previous game, Chronophantasma EXTEND, is coming to PC next month, where I'm sure it won't be utterly crushed by the 800 pound gorilla that is Street Fighter V.

If it manages to sell 50K units, it'll be fine. Heck GG Xrd selling a little under 50K is considered good.

Ah, had to turn off a setting inside the Xbox app apparently. Now it works. Thanks!

On Windows 10? I had to disable the button for GameDVR. Go into the Xbox App, Turn On GameDVR, Press Win+G to load the GameDVR menu, open settings there and turn off the option to open gamedvr with guide button. Then I disabled GameDVR box in the Xbox App.

yup, this. thank you!

Sooo, I'm still playing through SOMA. It's slow going for me though as I can't play the game until after my sons have gone to bed and that leaves me with limited play time. But the first three hours have been really awesome. The game's got a great creepy/scary atmosphere. There's some really weird shit going on that I'm not going to mention here as I think it's spoilery, but man am I having fun with it.

Maybe they should ban those people who derail threads instead of shutting down the thread. But arguing about this is getting close to be banned themself.

eh I don't know. GAF is a very industry news and sales focussed forum and it's hard to change that. I don't really even look for quality discussion about games here.

Are there any pc focused forums/subreddits or at least ones that aren't openly hostile to pc? It's becoming increasingly apparent that this forum just doesn't suit my gaming habbits really. I only stick around for steamgaf honestly and the sometimes funny but eventually overused memes.

/r/pcmasterrace I guess... But I wouldn't go there lol

Even if it isn't perfect, this thread is probably as good as it gets.

RPS forums could be good as well but I don't know how active they are

unfortunately, gaf is still the best to my knowledge, not for game specific discussions, no, but for industry news and activity is of the charts.

What is sad, that aside of gamefaqs that has much more shortcomings and is not so active as it used to be (probably too many games for all boards to remain active), there is no game dedicated discussions anymore, at least not active ones and devoid of wars.

Can't believe I missed the Dirt deal, what a shame, one of the few games I was looking for. :(

The good news is that I tried another brand of coffee and it was good. A really good coffee!

The problem with PC sales thread are the constant "It sold 10.000k in japan in the first month. The PC sales are bad, even if the publishers said they are great!"

You think memes are overused here but want to go to Reddit?

have to agree with puncher here, reddit is chaos incarnate, and meme land, kinda like 4chan only less obnoxious.
Then again I'm old, frail and all that, maybe I just don't get it.
