Hey look on the bright side, if they keep porting stuff this gen, at least next gen they will have to come up with something original as there won't be much to port! Unless they port the ports >_>

Well you could buy Bloodborne now on PS4 or wait until the Restored Edition on PS5 at 1920x1080, shooting for 60fps and not have so much bloody shader aliasing that it feels like your eyes are being gouged out. Same goes for any new title release this gen and if Playstation Now takes off you can forget about backwards compatibility. That along with the trend of remasters, a wealth of end users have shown that they're quite happy to pay for the same titles again and again and again and again why on earth would you bother spend money on functionality when you could divert that to recoup even more.

Says me who's the first muppet to buy any late port that turns up on Steam. I even bought Sleepy Dawgs Deffo Edition knowing full well what the score was and that the gains over the initial, perfectly serviceable PC version were marginal at best. Still waiting for the day Lighting Returns goes up to purchase despite owning it on PS3

The EW base price is still almost as high as the base price for EU+EW+other DLC.

Quick impressions from LEGO Worlds early access: You can randomly generate a bunch of different worlds to try out. I only took a quick tour of two of them. There are a lot of unlock-able bits and bobs (i.e.- lego characters, props, ride-able animals, vehicles, etc). I hopped in a digging machine and tunneled my way straight though a mountain side. I saw a mini sub fall out of the sky right in front of me, which was a little odd as I was nowhere near the water at that time. The terrain forming/deforming and creating tools seem fairly robust even at this early stage from my initial impressions. I suppose that could change as I spend more time with them. Overall I quite like what I saw and 15 bucks seems a fair price. It looks as though the game will increase in price after release though I do not know if they will incrementally increase the price as more features are added. It would be great if they could add local co op at some point though I don't see it in the early access road map. I know for sure though that my sons are going to really like it.

Batman: Arkham Knight Has No Loading Screens, New Game Plus Detailed
Plus, new details emerge about the Batmobile.

"No loading screens as you play through the whole game," he said. "You can play from the start of the game to the end of the game and you won't see any loading screens. That's all a really big important thing for us."

Well, this I wanna see.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Since there will be a PC coneference at E3 this year, will Valve broadcast the live conference on Steam sicne they will be surely part of it?

 

[Tizoc]

I know about ToZ, but P5? Tell me about it.

Same, are Atlus gonna make their mark on Steam by starting with P5?

Hmm. I hope at least they will release 2 new DLCs with it then.

Price mistake: the devs of Silent Age opted into this week's round of week-longs and the discount has compounded for a total of 70% off.

 

[fantomena]

I have no idea why some PC gamers can't stop with this "port, remasters, port" stuff. It'ss almost like they are jealous and need to find an excuse.

Yes, the consoles does have ports and remasters, but why give a shit about it?

"Why can't Steam games be gifted internationally from Russia any longer?" is much the same question.

I can buy everything on Nuuvem except for batman, that's why I quiestioned it.

 

[Shadownet]

They said it's getting released today or wednesday. I assume it's wednesday since it's already 1pm here and nothing yet.

My point was that it's not exactly hard to deduce why WB had a change of heart considering people having been buying Arkham Knight on the cheap for weeks now.

It looks super weird, but maybe someone is curious enough to try it. And it has a demo!

lol what the heck why not just sell them separately at discount for Enemy Within. I might as well just get the complete pack since I already got Enemy Unknown. I'm guessing it just replaces the current version of the game I got or do I get an extra Enemy Unknown?

 

[Tizoc]

Hmm can I refund one of my recent purchases, get steam credit instantly and buy another copy again?

I think I got it for a buck on mobile, maybe even free. I can wait for a cheaper price than this even if it is a mistake.

Spoiler

It's not like I will play it any time soon

Besides, why buy this with LEGO Worlds out?

 

[JaseC]

well that's gonna piss off A LOT of people

Yeah, but to be fair, Valve's supposed to prevent discounts from compounding. Short of informing Valve of the mistake, there's nothing the devs can do.

Hmm can I refund one of my recent purchases, get steam credit instantly and buy another copy again?

Only if it's a pre-order.

Ah man, was going to pick up Silent Age yesterday. Ya me!

The developer requested Valve to set a regionlock in those countries where Valve thought it would be necessary which is at least not the case for Germany. If the developers wouldn't requested this there wouldn't be a regionlock for Germany and Australia.

Developers/Publishers really don't get german law.

Hey guys, I was planning to get Indigo Prophecy from Nuuvem, but I heard that people didn't get their keys over the weekend, so I decided to wait.

So, has anyone got it already? It is safe to buy now?

 

[Parsnip]

I have no idea why some PC gamers can't stop with this "port, remasters, port" stuff. It'ss almost like they are jealous and need to find an excuse.

Yes, the consoles does have ports and remasters, but why give a shit about it?

Jealous, sure, uh huh. Outside of those ports and remasters, the library is too small to justify a console purchase. There's literally one game out right now PS4 that I would be interested in, and zero games on Xbone.

Rather spend that money on new gpu and play all my pc games, thanks.

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah, but to be fair, Valve's supposed to prevent discounts from compounding. Short of informing Valve of the mistake, there's nothing the devs can do.



Only if it's a pre-order.

What if it is a gift?

 

[JaseC]

Developers/Publishers really don't get german law.

Plus it hasn't been rated in Australia and digital games aren't required to be rated.

 

[derExperte]

Developers/Publishers really don't get german law.

At least it's not IP-locked. Or did they add that too?

 

[iosefe]

Damn right

Hey guys, I was planning to get Indigo Prophecy from Nuuvem, but I heard that people didn't get their keys over the weekend, so I decided to wait.

The keys went out earlier today, everyone should have one now.

 

[JaseC]

What if it is a gift?

Unused gifts aren't refundable, despite the language of the auto-refund feature categorically stating otherwise:

You may only refund purchased items which have not yet been released, gifted, or traded away. All refunds will be applied to your wallet balance.

I informed Valve of this but obviously it fell on blind eyes.

 

[GaussTek]

The keys went out earlier today, everyone should have one now.

Ahh, thanks a lot for the info, will buy it asap.

 

[Kiru]

At least it's not IP-locked. Or did they add that too?

No. You can still activate and play gifts via traders or friends. Keys are no-go without VPN now though.

They're not part of it, it's more AMD's thing using the guise of PC Gamer to present it. Though I wouldn't be too surprised if they're have streaming links up as they have done thing in the past like the VGA's/The Game Awards.

I have no idea why some PC gamers can't stop with this "port, remasters, port" stuff. It'ss almost like they are jealous and need to find an excuse.

Yes, the consoles does have ports and remasters, but why give a shit about it?

What on earth are you waffling on about? I couldn't give a monkeys about ports, remasters, rehashed titles and that's exactly my point they're not attractive. That's hardly the actions of someone furious with envy or looking for an excuse. In fact I struggle to see anyone in this thread, christ even the vast majority GAF feel hard done by because a couple of consoles are getting the same shit released for them over and over again, some are quite receptive, others are tired but there's really no one jealous.

What does 'reserving' mean in this context? I thought everyone is getting the upgrade for free within the first year, why would you have to reserve one?
