Bungie decided to double the price of Destiny in Russia:



Funny, because it's the only price they changed, don't know why:

Too bad it remains $35 here in the US cuz if I was over where them low prices were at, I'd snag me a copy post-haste.

Will cooking simulator make me not suck in the kitchen? :p That would be a hell of an incentive to buy it.

Wouldn't be surprised if they'd raise other price too, some regions are getting the game extremely cheap.
Yeah. I was going to wait because of all the confusion of which version to get for all the content, but ended pulling the trigger now. I guess that was one way to make me pre-order it (and there as always Steam refunds).

Played it earlier today for a hour or so. Devs will be supporting the came in the upcoming weeks / months so that's a plus.

I suck at IRL cooking and sucked once the game stopped holding my hand. It didn't punished me as real life would, though.

Well, for proper punishment we would need a "tasting" attachment.... and if that's too high tech, maybe something like those "scratch and sniff" stickers (I think I remember some games in 90's coming with those). And of course a bathroom simulator - I'm afraid to search if there is one...

probably , just look at
LOL... Okay... so it would teach me not to set things on fire and also to not throw sponges on the pot. Believe or not, that would probably be progress :p

Wonder if its better to just buy D2 then migrating. I didn't really play it (got it in the monthly) for a couple reasons. 3 man teams and it wasn't really that exciting or fun to begin with. If DLC is just same shit just more of the same I may just let it migrate but wondering if cheaper in longer run to buy it all outright.

Origin is doing another free week of Origin Basic. Maybe I'll play Pyre and Mirror's Edge Cat.

Malaysia, sadly, is not one of them - it's close to the UK p;rice. I dropped D2 hard, though, so they're going to have to do a hell of a lot to get me back in the fold, even with f2p (and I assume QoL improvements will be passed on into the f2p version).

damn, that sucks :(



i believe the base game will be the f2p one ... and then you'll be able to buy all the additional stuff

i might be wrong, though
Its the base game + the Y1 DLC. Forsaken, The Forsaken Annual Pass and Shadowkeep need to be bought though.

Forsaken + Annual Pass are being combined into a $40 bundle though.

why would they list those as part of the Shadowkeep pre-order stuff then?

You can't preorder DLC on Steam if you dont have the base game, and you can't preorder F2P games (or at least you couldnt before not sure if its still like that), So they bundled the DLC with the base game.

Bungie's gotta have preorders for Shadowkeep somehow and this is the only way.

Where is the bundle?
It'll be on Steam on September 17th. They confirmed they were bundling it on the dev stream earlier.

Don't know why they are waiting until September to put Forsaken on Steam though.

EDIT: For anyone who's interested in playing Destiny 2 right now. Forsaken Complete Collection is $40USD right now on Battlenet. You're pretty much paying for Forsaken + Annual Pass + Deluxe Armor. But you get all the other destiny content for free, and it'll transfer to Steam for free in September.

If you already own Forsaken you can get the Annual Pass on its own for $15

Buying Forsaken Complete gives you everything available for the game right now. The base game, the year 1 expansions, Forsaken, the deluxe edition bonus, 30 level skip, and the Annual Pass.

also disclaimer im not a paid shill or advertiser im just a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan bungie pls sponsor me

Fuck, Gears of War 1, 4 and 5 on PC. And I just realized I threw my 360 away and can’t replay 2 and play 3.
It’s junk food but I would gladly marathon this shit.

Considering the strides Microsoft are making right now, I wouldn't bet against them porting the rest of the series to Steam if 5 is successful there (and it will be ;)). IMHO.

Mmh, good point. I thought about the possibility of 360 games on PC but I will believe it when I see it, but there is this too. And there is xCloud. Interesting times, uncertain times but interesting, full of options.

Wait to migrate and see if there is a deal on DLC stuff or just buy it all on steam? I only see legendary pack on bnet which is same cost on steam.
Forsaken Complete is $40 and has everything up to Shadowkeep. (Ignore Legendary which is still full price) It will be the same price on Steam that it is now. Only buy it if you want it now really.

There might be a Destiny Complete with Forsaken + Annual + Shadowkeep + Shadowkeep Annual but nobody knows yet.

The Y1 expansions are free for anyone who owns the base game right now though. So if you want you can log in and play those.

I caved in and gambled on this month humble. I mean 3$ discount and it can't get worse than a multiplayer shoo... I've fucked up, right ? :loudly-crying-face:

edit-
Is there any way to make a pad keybind in order to display fps in games ? MSI Afterburner and HWInfo don't seem to recognize any pad input. What year is it ? Am I forced to use a fucking software that translate pad to a keyboard in order to do this most basic of things ?

Dota 2 is the greatest multiplayer game of all time.
It's absolute gamedesign perfection.
Incredibly high skill ceiling, tons of sandbox strategies, a fuckton of variety.

That said, i'm happy i don't play it anymore because that gameplay loop is pure cocaine.
This is exactly how I feel about Siege, but I can't stop playing it lol. :face-with-cold-sweat:

Cocaine too stronk. o_O

I'll be honest I've never played a BG game but I look forward to shotgunning/binge-playing them soon as I'll be stuck at home for a while after undergoing surgery
welp Surgery? Are you gonna be okay? Hopefully nothing serious...?

I have 0 Larian games and lots of anime games, I must be on lashman shit list
Me as well. Zero Larian games, and zero interest in that style. In-fact I think I have the "Isometric" tag on my blacklist lol. And if I go to Larian publisher page most of the games are set to ignore. :p

That weird viewpoint of those games just doesn't make me feel involved enough I guess. One thing I always liked about the Total War games is the ability to zoom up close on the action at least.

Yeah, it's not pretty great in Indonesia too.

When I visited the page for the first time and saw $35, I thought it's $60 in the US and I guess that's fair regional pricing. I was pretty close to purchasing it and then I checked the Steamdb page and saw it's $11-12 in lots of regions. I nopped out of it instantly.

While I really enjoy siege it never had the Same draw as dota to me, probably because a siege match doesn't take up to 2 hours lol
