Speaking for myself (and I'm not super sensitive to framerate / resolution so it may just be me) it might be worth really considering how your current rig runs games. My machine is not that current or powerful, but when I consider a PC upgrade I have to ask myself "do I really need to do this now." I'm sure that I'll upgrade at some point, but I want to wait until the XB1/PS4/PC multiplatform porting story is really settled before I jump in. Might be nice to wait until more like later in 2015 to upgrade if your current system is still running the games that you want.

When I first started I got a Millennium Falcon from the Workshop, played around with it, and felt my purchase of the game was justified. I hope the Eagle 5 from Space Balls gets made for it. I haven't played in a long time so it may have been added by someone already.
Restart Steam and click the link on the front page.

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.
One thing I've found is that console game prices suck a little less if you're okay with buying used. I got a PS4 a couple days ago which I basically plan on using for the PS4 and console exclusive games (since I already have a Wii U).
Sure there's no Steam Sale pricing, but I paid on average between $15-$20 each for Infamous Second Son, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, Killzone, Knack, and Watch_Dogs. I paid $30 (the horror!) for TLoU Remastered. Console games don't have to be $60, especially if you're willing to wait for a good deal on a used copy to come around.
Not at first, no. It may be added in the future though.
WiiU and PC is the perfect combo for me and my tastes right now but later on there will be some stuff I will be tempted to get a PS4 for. There might even be something on Xbox One in the future that might turn my head. But recently the trend has been belated releases on PC or delayed announcements like MGS V that's making me doubt picking up either the PS4 or Xbox One until they're matured and cheap. Could I hold off on playing Bloodborne or FF Type -0 for a couple of years if they are the only two titles I wanted to play on a console? Yeah probably.
I guess we all have our tipping point but I'd need a good selection of titles to make my purchase worthwhile but right now nothing is screaming 'buy me, buy me!'
And that's where my good luck ran out.

Oh no.
Old school style, haven't seen many games use that in a while.

Ground Zeroes was literally a "I know this is coming to Steam but I want to test out my PS4 and it's only $10".
Watch_Dogs was "Damn I can pick this game up for $18 and not have to deal with Uplay?" The cheapest it's been on PC has been $40.

You really need to look at the games that you want and go from there. I used to be console exclusive because I really didn't have a PC that could run games, but when I did get one, I found I could get the vast majority of games I personally wanted on PC.
MGS V initially being a console exclusive was tempting me to get a console but with the news of it coming to PC, the only game I'm really disappointed I'll miss out on is Bloodborne. But the huge backlog of games I already have, the amazing sales on Steam, and the generous Steam GAF community, that's a trade-off I'm willing to make.

Steam ain't having that 720p
Personally, I would consider 1080p/30fps more of an affront. But lack of options all around, and that 60GB mandatory-ness...

I have enough GMG fakebux already.
Is the voucher code on the front page the only one active now or is there anything better?

Actually, it kinda makes sense for FFXIII being 720p.. Most of the games pre-rendered cutscenes (even the non-CGI ones) are 720p. So I guess its reasonable they dont let anyone change it.. Would look inconsistent as fuck in that case. Already stupid enough that the game is 60fps and the cutscenes 30.

It's probably to avoid all debates and stuff.

Did anyone really expect FFXIII to be a great port? I admit it's worse than I expected, but it really shouldn't surprise anyone.
Sounds like Durante is on it though.

Oh man. I'm a HUGE Farming Simulator nerd and they've got some deep cuts for FS13 this weekend. FS13: Titanium Editioin - $6.99 (-75%) All the DLC is similarly priced. I believe that's the cheapest I've ever seen it.
The only thing is that Farming Sim 15 launches in 3 weeks and you can nab a pre-order at GMG for $23.99 (Steam key) using the coupon code VBHGBM-JS2VN9-0J5OFM .
FS15 is sporting a new graphics & physics engine and based on the footage it looks significantly better than FS13.
In other words I'd be preaching from the rooftops, urging the curious to look into FS13 at that low price, but man. You might just be better off waiting a few weeks for FS15.

I knew it wouldn't be shit when they announced their streaming service.

Well, I didn't expect something like The Last Remnant because that was on UE3 and FFXIII is on some crappy internal engine.
But no resolution settings in 2014 is crazy.
Choosing the internal rendering/output resolution isn't really a feature that separates a great port from a less-than-ideal one.
Anyone here have experience with the PC version of Contrast? I read that some people liked the PS4 version but I haven't read much about the Steam version of it.
Also, as an aside, someone in the FFXIII thread said that hitting ESC just exists the whole game. That made me giggle.

That's very "Hentai game-centric" of them.
