[That Wont Fit In There]

Though this doesn't pertain to the PC version alone , does anyone know if this game will be up by midnight on PS4?

 

[Kurt Russell]

Looks like Norway is asleep

I'm quite confused about this conversation.

I think the people trying to distinguish between "Family Sharing" and "Library Sharing" are confused and thinking about "Family View," which has nothing to do with the former two (which are one and the same).

Family (Library) Sharing:

Family View (Parental Control):

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5149-EOPC-9918

Unless they're trying to drag the console sharing plans into this that's all I can come up with.

 

[onionfrog]

I'll probably just end up getting all of them while they are cheap. AC4 has been on my wishlist since the start.

I restarted steam, looks like it is going through maintenance.

The Ezio Trilogy is the best (2, Revelations, Brotherhood) IMO.

1 is Mediocre, 3 was complete shit. Have yet to play 4.

Thanks guys.
I think I'm gonna buy everything except 4. Since I'm sure 4 will be cheaper by the time I get around to playing it.

This is... even worse!

All you people are on drugs.

 

[Levyne]

Did he own the game on his own account or was it f2p? That's pretty much the only way you could both be playing the same game at the same time.


You can.
Once you actually start something, it'll give the other guy a warning and a set time before it kicks him out.

Both on my account, I was playing either Dark Souls 2 or Shadow of Mordor, I forget, he was playing Eliminage Gothic.

 

[Shadownet]

Isn't the game $5 now? This is almost the same as 2 keys, right?

Don't you know? SteamGAF is cheap.

 

[Grief.exe]

Surprised that I was able to run Alien: Isolation maxxed, 60fps, and 1080p on my PC.

Specs:
Phenom II x4 940 (clocked at 3.4ghz)
Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost (2gb VRAM)
4gb of RAM (clocked at 1066)
Win 7 64

Kinda gives me hope for running The Evil Within decently, despite the recommended system req.

FPS is likely capped at 30, so the game will be easier to run at maximum settings and/or higher resolutions.

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, this defeats the entire purpose of Family Sharing.

You are constantly using your account?

2K15 is a 41GB download...

my god.

Looks pretty good though.

 

[Self_Destructive]

I would love to see more shots of NBA 2K15

That... shouldn't be possible.

 

[r3n4ud]

What uh...the refs. What are they doing exactly?

fake edit: looks like everyone on the court are looking for the ball

 

[Jiggaloboy]

That... shouldn't be possible.

Shouldn't it work if one of them is in offline mode?

 

[Levyne]

That... shouldn't be possible.

Shouldn't it work if one of them is in offline mode?

I think I thought of something. He had a review code for Gothic, and thus could play it early. Would that do it?

 

[darkchewie]

Looks pretty good though.

Looks nice but that cameraman on the lower right seems huge in proportion to everybody else. Sign him and start him at center.

 

[Turfster]

Yeah, that's probably it.

99.9999% sure that was patched out.

Not sure if Elminage uses the Steamworks DRM but I think you don't get booted out of entirely DRM-free games.

Ah, this could be it too.


Well, that's two possible answers, thanks, steamgaf.

I hate Tuesdays.
Edit: Oh welp servers up again.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

So of course Lost Planet 3 kicks you back to the main menu if you get disconnected from Steam while in singleplayer.

Makes perfect fucking sense.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

So, given the whole PC debacle going on with TEW... anybody still getting it?

 

[Miguel81]

Possible Final Fantasy Type 0, TEW at 30, and an Enslaved raffle -- good to know. RE4 at 30fps has been a nauseating experience, so I don't know what I'll be expecting from TEW. Anyway, it's time to test out the audio on Alien Isolation -- I'm lookin' for some scares right about now.

 

[The Dear Leader]

So, given the whole PC debacle going on with TEW... anybody still getting it?

I'm holding off on it until I hear some impressions from people with specs similar to mine, the more I hear about the PC port the more worried I get. I'm not hurting for games to play at the moment so waiting is fine by me.

I was going to buy it on launch (I'm okay with 30fps, but as an option) but given Bethesda's bullshit I'll probably wait until we get the whole truth.

I'll be cancelling my pre-order very shortly.

 

[Hanzou]

I'm canadian and we just got hosed on Steam prices. I can say for sure that I will spend less.

Heh

No we didn't. Most games went up around 10%, maybe a little more. Right now the exchange rate is at about a 11.8% markup. Add on the "conversion charge" that most credit cards charge for buying goods and america dollars a $60 USD game yesterday was actually costing us probably closer to $68. Go check enhanced steam, even just accounting for the straight up market exchange rate some games are a little bit cheaper in Canada now.

it's a good looking game. just with 1999 dreamcast servers, 2007 gameplay, and pay-to-win for most modes.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'll be cancelling my pre-order very shortly.

I just can't go that far.
Shinji Mikami's return to horror and him not being responsible for the port means i'll cut some slack. Also we don't know if the game is hardcoded to 30FPS. Since if it is then it'll make sense. REmake is 30FPS locked to since the game will speed up if 60FPS.

Same here. I hate what Bethesda did, but I can't cancel my preorder based on that. Mikami deserves more.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

A shame really, all Bethesda had to do was say something and people wouldn't have a need to be worried.

I think RAGE and Wolf can be unlocked, but it fucks up the games pretty badly I think. I wonder if 30 -> 60 would break it as well?

I'm still probably getting it but it might not be until post release so that I get impressions.

 

[InfiniteNine]

So, given the whole PC debacle going on with TEW... anybody still getting it?

I'm buying it don't give a shit pretty much but I'll probably play with my controller now.

 

[MattyG]

Has there been any mention of Steam trading cards for Alien?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I thought there were cards before, I was sort of disappointed to see none :/

 

[exmachina64]

Looks pretty good though.

The scale of the players and the court seem off.

 

[Pakkidis]

I keep hearing that the credit card converts us to canada prices. So I checked online and found:

BMO mastercard

Conveniently pay for U.S. purchases in U.S. dollars

Shop with no exchange rate surprises.


I don't recall my credit card doing that conversion. So I do think I'm getting screwed now.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yeah same with me, even if everything turns out fine, I don't want to reward a company that has engaged in bullshittery about the PC version since day one and still hasn't clarified any of the real issues and questions people still have.

If some companies would spend half as much time developing a proper PC port as they do deceiving people about their shitty PC port, we wouldn't have this problem. But alas, time will tell, not going to presume either way.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

So, the size of FFXIII on the Steam page (in the requirements) got bumped from 30GB to 60GB.

Ohhh uncompressed CGI cutscene goodness lol. No pre-load means its gonna take me like 10 years to download though.

Yeah...I'm not going to even bother with playing this at launch.

I'll just leave this here

Poor Vita.

I would love to see more shots of NBA 2K15

Couple more shots:

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I just hope Bethesda wises up and says something, we're literally a week from release and it's all so irritating.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Does Steam have the Play as you Download thing that Current Gen and Origin have? If not any plans for that to be added?

 

[MattyG]

Me too, I want dat badge!

 

[Self_Destructive]

Does Steam have the Play as you Download thing that Current Gen and Origin have? If not any plans for that to be added?

Yep, it's in the settings.

Settings > Downloads > Allow downloads during gameplay

 

[Atraveller]

Thanks dot!

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yep, it's in the settings.

Settings > Downloads > Allow downloads during gameplay

He means play the current game downloading and it doesn't. It should, not sure why valve is slow with that feature. Blizzard games had it for a while.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Yep, it's in the settings.

I meant the bit where as an example on Origin you can download the first 2GB of FIFA 15 and play a certain section of it while it downloads the rest. I wanted to know if Steam did that and I just didn't own any games that supported it or missed it! I would have assumed NBA 2k15 would have had it though cause I would have loved to play a match with some teams while waiting for that 40GB to download :lol

Thank you! It has to be soon if even EA is doing it :lol I only use Origin for FIFA so only noticed a week ago!

 

[Turfster]

Not sure I like the single savegame only at save stations in Alien Isolation.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It depends on the situation.
When you have a section that results in a lot of trail and error it gets old fast.

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood.
