Someone needs to make a Lightning Hype Shinkansen (bullet train).

Raitoningu Haipu Torein!!!

I'm about to reach game 1,000 in my account and I fear FFXIII is going to be the one...

In before the "Just do it" replies.

funny coincidence, I too am about to reach a 1000 in my account...

...the saddest of the 1000s tho. #yolo #noregrets #lalalaIcanthearyou #whale

but the night is our world.

city light, painted girl...
in the day, nothing matters. it's the night time that flatters

I'm torn between all the "DON'T" warnings and the "DO IT/yolo/420noscopeblazeitscrub" option...

I mean, my 1,000 game could be this or could be... The Evil Within. And I'm tempted to have someone at GAF put a safebox with barbed wire in my avatar to "evilize" it.

Decisions, decisions...

edit: JEEZ, it's Top #1 on Steam!? It has dethroned DayZ, Counter-Strike, everything.

While all that is true, it assumes it has no effect on console sales which I don't believe would be the case. A higher console price plus marketing support is still going to be attractive to publishers and losing that to pc is the risk. A sale is not just a sale and not all sales are equal.

Then when you consider trading will get easier and easier and more automated, it is only going to end in one way.

You are really overestimating the reach of trading.

No, it's not going to have any visible effects on the console sales. The effect on PC software sales is already pretty small, on consoles it's basically a non-factor.

Trading getting easier? I don't think so, there's barely anything that would make it easier.


Publishers also have many tools to region lock their games if they so please.

I have no interest in Final Fantasy XIII, but I did try Final Fantasy IV eight or nine years ago on Game Boy Advance. I gave up at the Ant Lion boss.

As weird as it feels for me to say it, I'm tempted to give it another shot.

Oh, and I preordered Civ: Beyond Earth at GMG earlier.

 

[Aaron]

I've heard very little about Endless Legend... the entire affair has been very under the radar.

How does it compare to Age of Wonders 3? (if you've played it)

I've played both. Age of Wonders 3 is very combat focused. The empire stuff is thin, but there are lots of combat units with special abilities and tactics. Endless Legend is not nearly as robust in combat, but more filled out when it comes to empire building. Both are good games depending on where your interests lie.

 

[Jawmuncher]

don't do it

All this stealth begging.
You know you want it too.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Never tried FFXIII and I was a big FF fan (the hate for FFXIII from the majority of gamers turned me off). Might finally play it on PC.

Edit:
Wait what, FFIV's out on PC too? Wow, awesome.

At that price, it's probably worth a shot.

SteamGAF needs to take a course of self-control.

when this class if available i will sign up

i bought FFXIII

got the platinum on PS3 and 1000 on 360.

beginning75% of the game was boring as shit and characters were meh. i still liked the game though for some reason

 

[MayMay]

Idling some cards, I want FF XIII :O

Lol, if someone would've told me a few years ago that I'd be excited to play XIII again I would've laughed at them.

Oh I see. That's a very helpful comparison, thank you!

 

[Lomax]

I'm thinking I'll be in a good spot for Isaac: Rebirth to be my game #1000, I'm at 960 now. We'll see, my current pace is a bit faster than that but it really depends on the bundles between now and then. I could swear I was being more conservative this year but clearly not.

Apparently running Shadowrun Dragonfall for 2 minutes yesterday cost me my "played for the first time" reward on playfire since it didn't officially launch until today. My 15 cents!

Can Stockholm syndrome apply to video games?

Absolutely.

I'm not buying it, cause I have a copy of it none of you will ever have (signed by Nomura, some other head developers on the project, and some voice actors)

I can write in squiggly lines too.

 

[Hugstable]

probably not too far from the truth either

lol made sure to add stuttering here and there. Watch Dogs is probably playable now, but at launch it was really jumpy at times, especially when trying to drive a car.

 

[iosefe]

kind of want. my copy is currently lent out, but there's nothing special

 

[Turfster]

Apparently Mordor Premium is cheaper than standard for aussies?
Still aussie prices, of course.

Hold on, let me find the dumb IGN video (link to the video)

Why it's the basis of the 599/10 review scale.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Did that mod actually make it to the workshop?

I just get all my mods from TESNexus. Steam Workshop is too prudish. :3

 

[WinterDemons]

My left mouse button only works 80% of the time and the scroll wheel is completely broken. Can't delay any longer, time to get a new mouse.

 

[legacyzero]

Never tried FFXIII and I was a big FF fan (the hate for FFXIII from the majority of gamers turned me off). Might finally play it on PC.

It really is a terrible game. Painfully linear, terrible battle system:

-No menu option diversity
-Mashing one button
-If Lightning goes down in battle, it's game over, for no fucking reason, even if other party members are up.
-Stagger system is the fucking WORST.

And the characters are God awful.

But it does have some merits.

- Great graphics and art direction
- Awesome soundtrack: Observe

I only bought the game on Steam to vote with my wallet, and encourage S-E to continue to support PC.

I can send you a copy of FF13-2 autographed by me. I'm dead serious. It will help complete your collection .

 

[Shadownet]

Wait you won that from IGN?

Edit: Oh god, are the Bucs even a real football team anymore? dat beatdown.

[denx]

Way to stealth release FFIV on Steam wow, didn't know about it until a couple of minutes ago. So is this release vanilla FFIV or does it include The After Years?

 

[Jawmuncher]

My left mouse button only works 80% of the time and the scroll wheel is completely broken. Can't delay any longer, time to get a new mouse.

Yeah that would lead me to get a new mouse before I even could post about it.

This is true. That's where all the good stuff is.

 

[Cheddahz]

I already have it (and I have the edition that comes with the soundtrack as well) and yeah, I wouldn't recommend it whenever it comes out on Steam

Wait you won that from IGN?

Sure

 

[cardinalmind]

Sorry for the n00b question but aside from crafting a badge, what are the other purposes of cards? I'm just planning sell the cards I'll get since I don't really need or use them.

So what about lightning returns.

I still haven't played it yet, but it hasn't been cheap enough for me to pick it up

sell them to make your next steam purchase a bit cheaper. thats all

 

[Jawmuncher]

Badges and money are the only uses for cards at the moment. I supposed you could use them as trade incentives but not really. Sell them now and hold onto the cards you want to make badges of until a new meta game with the cards pop up. Since thus far you get a bonus card related to the event when making a badge during that time .

 

[DocSeuss]

Kdramastars isn't a legit site is it? They're claiming Dragon's Dogma and Dragon's Dogma 2 for PC.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well D4 came out at least to ease your pain of ff14 hype in the steam thread. I bought it, can't play until tomorrow though.

I won't have the money to pick it up till tomorrow (of course, I had to buy a damn coffee while on a photography trip today), but I can't wait to play it (and hell, it's been getting good reviews as well)

But SE is actually one of the more supportive pubs on PC...

For their Eidos games maybe. Up until just over a year ago, they had basically one game developed in Japan on Steam (The Last Remnant). Now they have FFs 3, 4, 7, 8, and soon 13 on the store, so they are finally taking Steam seriously. But they have yet to release a new, Japanese developed game on Steam (even TLR was released on PC several months after the console release).

 

[legacyzero]

But SE is actually one of the more supportive pubs on PC...

Sure. With Eidos properties, etc. FF is just starting to get back into it.

What have I done GAF...

And my count is no longer 1,000. Got that awesome Bundle Stars pack... My game count, jeez. I only cleared 3 games in 2 weeks, added a bajillion!

edit: Damn, and I got a message about Project Nimbus latest alpha. Maaaan, not enough timeeee!!!

Any huge console AAA review thread that wasn't 9/10.
