Isn't the Nvidia Shield exactly that but without detachable controllers?
Edit: I guess it doesn't "switches" between TV and handheld mode as easily if that's what you want.
Think of it this way:
Bandai Namco == Electronic Arts
Wolfteam/Namco Tales Studio == Bioware
Would you say Mass Effect or Dragon Age games are developed by Electronic Arts, or are they Bioware's games first and foremost?
Really wanted to like Teslagrad and I probably would finish it if it was puzzle platformers I currently crave for. But I have a thirst for some goodass Metroidvanias instead.
Will wait for the Switch Version of Hollow Knight because I want to play it on my commute. Song of the Deep or Guacamelee? Already played the latter but loved it.

Yea, I couldn't get into Teslagrad either. At first blush, the game *looks* great but when playing it there is something that doesn't gel well.

According to Steamspy, Half Life 2 has sold 10 million copies in 13 years. Meanwhile, Dota 2 and CSGO get 11-12 million unique players every month. Somehow though, Half Life fans think they are the 'real fans' who should be catered to and are owed a Half Life 3. They just can't let go even after Valve explicitly said that they are not in the single player, narrative driven game dev business anymore.

Eh, i was hoping for 60FPS footage, but i guess original framerate will be fine too. Just quick fix:

Didn't Half-Life 2 release in a time where retail PC copies where still the norm? Did they link to Steam?
Anyway, I understand why people want HL 3, Episode 2 ends with a cliff-hanger and I think we all deserve closure.

You needed to register the HL2 key to Steam. Besides CS it was the biggest Steam to use Steam then.

Is Outlast 2 unreal 3? It runs perfectly 60 fps at 4K with a 980ti and looks incredible as well.

I wonder if it's a rebranded/somewhat rebooted F-STOP.
Yeah.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You plug in a standard mini-HDMI cable. It even has a tv/console interface mode.
nvida shield handled is old, tv is only tv and only for nvida cards...if valve do something like switch with emulation and steam library...omg my poo session will be epic!
Switch? Nah, they should make their own take on the GPD Win.

Half Life 2 came on 5 CDs and was the first game that required Steam. I remember buying it on day one (16/11/2004) and I couldn't even play it until a month later because Steam was such a pile of shit back then.
Also, I get that people want a conclusion to the story but some folks should really stop pretending as if they are 'real fans'...
... like so. Valve caters to tens of millions of fans who are playing their current games and (more importantly, from their perspective) paying for those gaming experiences. Besides, complaining about it doesn't help at all. If it happens everyone will be pleasantly surprised and if it doesn't then so be it.
I'm still kicking myself for not biting on the pre-order DDE. Last I checked, the items were collectively worth at least USD$149 -- a return of almost 300%.
got around playing the pathologic remake demo
as a longtime fan of ice pick lodge's games i'm pretty happy with it, as a microcosm of what the real game is gonna be, it promises to be quite the experience, with the trademark lack of guidance that you'd expect from ipl
in this case i feel that sort of works against the game since i finished my demo time feeling like i'd missed stuff i didn't get to because of how tedious moving around is and how much the game relies on you just stumbling unto interesting things
lucky thing is that things you stumble unto are almost always very unsettling and bizarre, and the general tone of the whole thing carries the dread of the dying town really well. the writing is actually comprehensible this time, despite some weird lines, and you can get a sense of frustration and hopelessness from the bachelor that gives him character where in the little i played from original, all his dialogue just read as gibberish
so yeah, makes me very optimistic about the final game, i wasn't really pleased with how knock-knock came out (even tho i loved their kickstarter campaign and i'm really happy with my pledge) and i love the void so seems like good things are ahead
I don't really understand why you had to 'stumble' across things. Most things are written on your map (See the symbols) or mentioned to you by other characters. Unless of course you were just running around ignoring the points the game was making, the demo is the most direct piece of work IPL has ever made thus far concerning direction.
What's happening in the demo:
You are playing a 'failed' save file, a playable gameover if you will.
Remember in the original that gameover+ was one of the possible endings. In the demo from what you hear in the pharmacy the Haruspex/Butcher was killed by the guards and if you assume the dead girl in the 'silent house' tied to a chair is actually the Devotress/Changeling. The doctor is plague-ridden and is lying in bed while the children from the Polyhedron decide if they should euthanize him by suffocating him. This is why if you go to the house by the water (Eves house) you can hear childrens voices and why Sticky begs you to not give nuts to that weird girl (which you pretty much need to do to get the lockpicks).
Overall the narrative of the demo is both a wonderful glimpse into the dread fear the game aspires to while giving longtime fans an interesting perspective on what a playable gameover might look like.

I don't know if you can fill out the mindmap in a single playthrough, I get pretty close though.
It takes all from Paypal.
You must first select Wallet and then it will ask additional payment method for rest.

If it helps, pre-orders sold out well before it's release and I want to say well before it even became popular.

Ok, I wasn't sure about that, good thing I asked. Then it should really reflect the total amount.
I really don't care that much about HL3 if I'm honest, I just want another Portal T.T
P.D.: Fuck, Steam is goddamn old, I was fucking 10 when it released. I didn't even have a PC back then, not to talk about Internet connection. Damn.
The cut-off date wasn't all that long before release, IIRC. I want to say two weeks to a month. I tried to be clever and threw the purchase page into Archive.org, hoping to see what the checkout URL was and if it were still active, but no such luck.
ill buy that for sure
The set goes for around $300 US on the market now already.

All Dark Souls.

Huzzah, although unless Valve's finally corrected the countdown timer, that actually translates to 1am AEST rather than midnight.
Bah.

Apple Jack 1 & 2 store page is up. Was greenlit a couple of years ago, but stayed there until now, when it releases tomorrow. They were actually pretty good Xbox Community Games. Might not hold up in this day and age though.

I watched an old Jim Sterling video about it and it looked ok. I found hilarious, though, that after filling the tank at a gas station and several kilometers of driving, he reached a hotel where he couldn't stay because he forgot his wallet at the gas station.
I love games that let those things happen.

Just for poo experiences, though, right?
What about running a long HDMI from your rig to a TV in your bathroom? Or a cheap alternative.
huh that's weird .
After your post i got nervous and thought somebody hacked my account or my money just went up in smoke .
But after checking my purchase history on steam i found it DOES remove money of my steam wallet and then charged Paypal for the rest .
I bought this yesterday and it clearly says so . so false alarm
dave is ok
aztek is ok
H1Z1 lost

I like them. I'm a bit disappointed it took this long to get a PC release.

Will I get 1000 fps in it?
Yeah, Dark Souls II is actually at the top of my backlog.

What a description:
Why Wales though?
110k concurrent. Its not doing all that bad.
The genre is over achieving big time at the moment. There is probably room for a couple more competitors.

Is Dayz officially scamware or what
And is Battlegrounds worth getting and likely to be consistently supported?

Ubisoft is proud to announce 'FarCry: Proving Grounds'
First person to climb the top of the tower wins.
As I understand, no one is going to release a better mobile x86 CPU/GPU in the near future, so the Steam Library will be difficult to play natively on such device. That's also why a more powerful GPD Win is unlikely to happen for a while.
But yeah, I'd certainly buy it. I really like the ideia of the GPD Win, but it's still a little bit too week for what I need it.
Bioware is a part of EA, so yeah, Mass Effect games are EA developed games.
There's nothing stopping EA from having a Mass Effect game developed by another one of their studios, right? (Like how Battlefield Hardline was developed by Visceral).
