I'm going to try this FFXIV beta on PS4 with a friend. This is going to be weird to play with a controller

If you're able to try it out for free, I say go for it. As a Final Fantasy fan, I'm thoroughly enjoying the game (it does feel like a Final Fantasy MMO) and I'll admit, I'm probably going to buy a time card for it if I don't finish the story within the first month (the music in the game is also beautiful and the art design is amazing as well)

It's free so I'm definitely going to give it a shot. I haven't played a final fantasy game in some time so this should be interesting.

Woo, new thread! I'll actually try to post in here from the start... maybe when I finish some games this weekend haha yeah right, I'm just gonna sink more hours into multiplayer stuff again.
 
Is the Beyond Good & Evil PC port ok and playable on modern computers? I keep meaning to play it but I don't want to if it's a horrible port
 
New thread? Nice.

I'm about to get on a plane to Australia so I'm not going to be playing many PC games for some weeks. Will still be reading this thread as much as I can.
 
SteamGAF is bestGAF.

Been playing a lot of GTAIII over the last couple days. Starting to get through the older games in my backlog.

JaseC

(Yes, I'm running Win8 now. I got stick of my Win7 installation crashing so I figured I'd give it a shot. Once I have everything sorted I'm going to buy ilomilo+ from the WinStore. It shall be my one and only WinStore purchase.)

I played through it a few years ago and it was fine. Not great, but certainly playable.

My blindness strikes again, how do I make desura logo to show, can't find it in modbot description. :(

The Desura icon will be appended automatically provided Desura is mentioned in the product name. So for example, just use:

Half-Life 3 (Desura): AFJIFAJOIJOIAJFOIAOIFJOIA

oh btw MRORANGE, regarding more Steam threads on gaf

Steam Dev Days videos: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=767306
Steam Music: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=762719

I think those won't be mentioned. The main icon threads are for threads that have a purpose to be there for a while for regular updates/changes rather than one off events. I was thinking of adding music, but it's such a tiny feature of BPM it didn't make sense and most people would either use the SteamOS thread or this one if they had any complications.
 
Let's start:

hey new thread!

gonna ask this here too:

So outside of Chaos Theory, which TC games are recommended?

The Original Ghost Recon (and if you want even more of that the expansions) and Rainbow Six 3 Gold are in my eyes the best of the best in those franchises. That was when those franchises were actual tactical shooter which we don't really see much of these days and are fun if you are into that sort of thing.

Alright. Makes sense.

Music is going to be extended to desktop client too btw.

Seems Dysfunctional Systems dev is going to kickstarter to finish the series https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dischan/dysfunctional-systems?ref=discovery .

Someone needs to make a thread for that if they haven't already. Plus also stating that the first part is currently part of the indiegala bundle. I would make that thread but I haven't played it yet (downloading now). But if it's even half as good as Junipers Knot then they'll get my money

Sub Zero

his body's cold as ice, but he's got a heart of gold

hmm I think I'm going to settle on just CT today and wait for more dailies

might snatch a PoP game or BG&E if gets a deeper discount
 

JaseC

The Ubi sale is early this year... after being early last year, too. In the past it was typically held in May, but last year it was brought forward to March and this year earlier still to February.
