I would actually be devastated if that happens. I trust and love GoG. It would be horrible to have things like Planescape Torment be exclusive to the windows store, with added DRM and no doubt the end of actually focusing on exploring PC classics and PC friendly initiative, and even supporting Mac / Linux

I thought we established it already, I don't use a guide, talk with everybody and do everything, and I still missed some stuff, your 70 hours pretty much mean only that it can be finished in that time, not that it's that long, because so far 8th chapter proves to be as long as the rest of the game, if you know what I mean.
Why can't this industry have a tiny bit of modesty towards their own heritage, i ask.

Exclusives don't matter though. If you look at how the 360 did so well last gen, it did well not because it had a deep library of heavy hitting exclusives but because it was associated with some of the biggest multiplatform games of the generation.
People who whine about the XB1 not having exclusives must also be constantly blowing the dust off their PS4s because I haven't played through a single game on that thing since I played through Until Dawn with my wife months ago.
Personally, I've gotten a lot more use out of my xb1 than my PS4 since i bought it so i find it strange that people are being such children about this exclusive stuff

That is what I expect too.
That's some pretty hideous design.
I disagree. If you asked the majority of people what games they recall from that generation, it'll probably be Gears or Halo.
It's not so much whining about the lack of exclusives, on my part, but the calibre of them hasn't been all that great. Master Chief Collection was broken. Two racing games? Great. Rare Replay was a good addition, but it's nothing that wasn't seen before. The console is already handicapped as stands by this whole 900p business people don't let go of when "comparing" it to the PS4.
E: This is the Steam thread, of course, so I'm going to stop here.

Conker is like that problem child that yeah they might be bit unruly but he's never been loved by his adoptive parents to really blossom.

Interesting that no big pub has shown anything big for VR for their coming games.

They don't want to take a chance on a market that might not be fully viable until later.
VR is the new EyeToy
Full content lineups haven't been disclosed yet, but I'd say you want see much big movement from the big pubs till there is a larger audience next year or the year after. There will be some doing more indie like projects
I think I can say with certainty that that will not be the case.
That redirects to the homepage?
It takes more than a year to develop an AAA game.

The market will bear that out.
Personally, I've seen nothing so far that makes me believe it's worth such an investment. Doubt I ever will, frankly.
Yeah, sorry about that, it'll work later.

The HMZ-T1 is not a VR device.
Ever tried VR before? Its not just a "3d screen". Its a new "medium" or at least let you experience things with a presence never known before.
That's fair for now I think. Much of the issue is also actually using the thing to understand just how powerful and intoxicating the experience is. Once you understand that, you can see that even the visually simple and mechanically simple titles are entirely different in the medium, both in terms of fun and the longevity they can have.
VR is not even remotely similar. There is already more support for VR than there has been for 3DTV and like.

Even if (a) I had the money to buy it, (b) thought there was anything significant worth playing on it at the moment, and (c) could deal with the usual issues associated with a device you wear on your head (i.e. weight), I have nowhere I can use the thing in my house. I suspect a lot of problems are going to arise when people actually get the product and have to start clearing a big enough space to use it effectively.

VR is likely the closest we'll get to a decent holodeck experience at home.
as a star trek/sci fi nerd, it's hard to not get excited for the promise that comes with VR. Whether that bears out or not, we'll see. But I haven't been this excited for a piece of gaming related tech since the jump from 2d sprites to polygons in the mid 90s.

My point was rather, that it is a new market. As interesting as it is, I have my doubts of it becoming more than a niche.

but couldn't you make that argument about, well, every market that has ever existed?
Those free games alone justify the 900 price.
+100 shipping lol.

the first VR device to sell on Amazon will likely get my money. I'm sitting on a stupid amount of amazon credit.
also, who thought this inventory system in Grim Fandango was a good idea? It's infuriating, especially on the Vita where there's a bit of a hitch when using it

Why the fffffefeeff is shipping 100. Shipping a 5 kg package within Europe costs one quarter of that and I'm pretty sure Vive weighs a lot less than that.

Wanted to preorder the Vive earlier.
Great.
60 shipping. Fuck you.

Can I buy with card money?
Nope, it redirects to HTC site.
Do you know if people get the bundled games automatically added to their account or will it just be a code in the box?
It's because Gabe will bring the game directly to you.
