I feel that Sony's approach is superior given Valve axed Family Sharing support in Offline Mode. Simultaneous access with PSN drops throwing a spanner into the works, as annoying as that can be, strikes me as fairer than single-user access with the secondary user having a short "grace period" to exit when the library owner runs any game. Ideally, Family Sharing would be an amalgamation of the two: multiple users can access the one library concurrently, save for running the same game at the same time, with the account owner preference system being left intact (e.g. two people could be playing two different games, but the account owner running, say, CS:GO results in Secondary User #2. who's playing CS:GO, being slapped with the aforementioned grace period). But at this point, I've begun to give up hope of Valve going out of its way to improve the system.

Yeah that would make sense with the limited amount of users on each account, but I'm sure Valve is okay with how it is now, and counting on them to go out of their way to implement on one of their features is hard to do these days.

If we're taking about a PC-ass game by a PC-ass game developer, then I understand the sentiment. When we're talking about multiplatform games where consoles were likely the lead SKU for development, my expectations drop a bit. There are certain western publishers you can expect that kind of effort from (I miss THQ), be it in-house or sub-contracted out to a quality port house (like Nixxes), but that's a pretty short list. It gets pretty shit pretty quickly.
I've just got difference expectations for Larian Studios, Firaxis, Blizzard, or Paradox Interactive vs Warner Bros, EA or Ubisoft.
thats not a WiiU

Well sure that would be understandable if they priced the product appropriately, but charging the same $60 for both the PC and console version and delivering a subpar version to one isn't acceptable to a lot of people. Giving a company a pass because they aren't a PC-ass developer doesn't excuse a shitty port, if it's bad, it's bad.
Haha, no, but I'll give you two guesses as to what happens when you type saoirse ronan appreciation into Google.
you had to wait until i was in the train did u

But it only shows ClassyPenguin's Saoirse Gaf Thread.Haha, no, but I'll give you two guesses as to what happens when you type saoirse ronan appreciation into Google.
I think a case like the just revealed Tales of Zestiria can get a pass though, not only the game is $50 instead of matching the PS4 version $60, it has more graphical features than the consoles versions outside of the framerate lock.

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ozzy stays dick riding. I got all the levels in the game tyvm. stay over there salty that you ain't playing mario maker.
shit got me tight A HURR HURR lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Expectations play a big role. I expect 30fps console ports to stay 30fps on PC too when ported over. Few go above expectations and turn 30fps games into 60fps ones because it costs more (time/money) to rewrite a game and most of the time it goes beyond the scope of why that port is being made and the budget given. Plus the few that do can still end up with some side effects, like the Valkyria port, though a part of the fan-base welcomed those with open arms.
I guess most people that want console ports expect the porting developers to rewrite the code to allow for at least 60fps without taking into consideration the feasibility of doing that, especially for older games.
Me, I think 60 is better than 30 and unlocked is better than 60, but as long as the port isn't turning a 30fps game into a 15fps one, I ain't complaining too much.

I'm fine with 30fps as well. Of course there's a clear difference with 60fps, but 30fps is just fine. Some games did 30fps briliantly as well, like the Witcher 3.
Anyway, I only own a $150 card so I really just can't complain about the lack of 60fps support when it can barely play newer games at 60fps anymore nowadays.
Oooh, interesting..
My vote is a yes!
I probably will wait after all, I mean Black Closet does have 20% discount, but it's still 16€, meaning only 2€ less I would have paid on their site before.
Not saying it's easy, to wait I mean.
I approve your work!
you should be glad you can't, that was... awful
Why we can't have a good GitS game, if anything deserves a good game it's GitS.

You were posting earlier when we were talking about it though. People quoted me about a million times lol. Too bad though it got taken down.
You no longer have a cute anime girl as your avatar so zky rightfully skipped your post!

Not enough energy to follow actively the stream even if there is a "huge mad max" giveaway. Good luck folks.
You will just need to input a command in the chat when the time comes.
You don't need to. Just enter the queue and you won't have to follow it anymore.

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.
Watched again because... *maybe I was just in a bad mood this morning and didn't give it a fair shake*
Nope, still a terrible bastardization of something I love.

Yeah that's more understandable for sure, I didn't know if that was the game they were originally referring to or not.
I dont think thats true anymore. Having the page open should suffice.
Also, you can just put "/chat" at the end of the twitch link so you can have the chat open without the stream.
oh god that music choice is very unfortunate lol
i can appreciate the motoko face looking more like the movie and the fact that she wears pants (tho random cleavage so dumb), but yeah seems like a waste to do a fps out of gits
doesn't look unfun i guess, i enjoy games like blacklight retribution and titanfall so i might get something out of this
it isn't as offensive if you mute the music i think

I'm thinking about what I would want out of my potentially perfect yet fictitious rendition of a great GitS game. And then it hit me: Mass Effect 1.
Ghost in the Shell needs a deeply story driven, third person RPG game with light FPS / cover mechanics.
