Seems they slightly unfucked the regional pricing.
None of the other keys are there for India, so I guess Steam version is the only purchase option for me.
Doesn't mean I'll get it. Not giving Todd more money to bastardize this franchise more.

Thank you for saying this, I didn't hear about this at all and just linked my account!
Having just finished this arc a few days ago, I can now proudly say:Not using face buttons for melee action games as default buttons
I think Im just gonna stop playing Warframe. The thing is that the gameplay it self is a lot of fun, but the missions are the same boring shit all the time. Excacation, data collecting, horde waves over and over. And it looks like most of the environment on each planet is copy pasted.
If you have the enhanced edition, make sure to deactivate stuff like SSAO and water details. They are bad performance's biggest culprits.
For those fallout 76ers you might need to check your base location so it doesn't interfere with the new locations.

My pc suddenly stopped working today. Problem seems to be my gpu, my system boots fine when I remove it. Using the other PCIe slot causes the same problem. I'm not sure what to do now. I'm not even sure the problem is the gpu itself, it can be the motherboard as well. My country is still in lockdown so I can't go to anyone else to test the gpu. What a shitty situation 
Coincidentally I just got back into the game this weekend
I even received my first ever 75% coupon.
I received a private message from someone who is not on my friend list, and with whom I have automatically traded a few trading cards with ASF. I have not read the message (in Steam chat of the Steam client): there was a big disclaimer from Valve that I had to be wary of scammers, and I had a box to tick to acknowledge that I had read the disclaimer before I could read the message, and I have closed the window instead.
Any idea how it is possible to send a message to someone who is not on one's friend list? Maybe madjoki?
I also see that I have two Steam groups in common with the dude:
The trade:
My guess is that it is either using the fact that we traded, the groups, or the trade token?
Edit: It looked exactly like this: Has anyone encounter Private Steam Messages from Malicious Hacked Accounts?

So here I am, focusing on another The Evil Within playthrough to get stuff I missed, enjoying the Dreamscaper: Prologue and wanting to pick up the supporter's pack for that, and then magically a gift of Voxelgram shows up and everything is thrown into ruin. The best ruin possible
Hm, I remember reading F76 went for 6 bucks at some point. Might be misremembering but that's the discount I'd feel comfortable with.
That blows, sorry man. How heavy is the lockdown? If going outside is still allowed for 1-2 people, you could ask a friend/relative to let them borrow their PC. That way you could test their GPU to be certain whether that is the cause. Good luck. Broken hardware is a true pain.My pc suddenly stopped working today.

Try disconnecting unnecessary parts from your MOBO, extra HDDs, DVD drive, maybe even Ram. I had something like that once and it turned out to be a defective internal DVD drive.
Beside the fact that the profile looks pretty creepy, the fact the script is two years old, assuming it was the one used to contact you, is pretty unacceptable.I received a private message from someone who is not on my friend list, and with whom I have automatically traded a few trading cards with ASF.

I'm wondering whether this is a widespread phenomenon.
Finished FF7 Remake
OH BOY
Last time i've been this positive on a new mainline title was XII.
The combat is incredibly fun, even though on paper it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
It's an action-based combat system as everybody nows, with the command menu based controls of Kingdom Hearts, Oldschool-ATB elements AND FFXIII stagger based system and it somehow works really well.
It's like a much slower, more strategical kingdom hearts game and it somehow manages to still feel like an actual final fantasy games too, by the conclusion of the ATB elements and all the classic final fantasy spells, this is such a whiplash coming after the terrible and terribly janky FFXV.
The biggest issue with the game is the boring middlepart that has quite a bit of filler that kills the pacing for a while, i was almost ready to write the game off as a disappointment because of that part, but the last third made more than up for it.
The cutscene direction reminded me a lot of Yakuza games and the writing/localization was incredibly good as well.
Now i am REALLY looking forward to FFXVI again if it can hold this level of quality.
Ima double dip so hard on the PC version for every signle episode.

You aren't allowed to have contact with anyone outside your family - or work when you work in a hospital or such.
My gpu seems to be the problem, my pc won't boot as long as it's in one of the PCIe slots. This sucks, I was waiting for the new generation gpu's to order a new one. I guess I'll buy a 1660 Super for now and sell it when I buy a new one.
Anyone knows some good games that run on the internal gpu of a 8700k by the way?
Aw, that blows.
Oh man, that blows even harder.Anyone knows some good games that run on the internal gpu of a 8700k by the way?
Even if you can't find anything on Steam (and there's a lot of stuff you should be able to run), there's always emulators.Anyone knows some good games that run on the internal gpu of a 8700k by the way?
Anything up to PS2 should be doable on iGPU.
Thanks m8! I'll also try some 2D stuff like Kentucky Route Zero and some point & click adventures.

It's official: Dandy Dungeon is digital crack.
14h is not much more than a day.
I love this game!

Currently binging a lot of games and the current candidate is the first Gothic. Normally I kinda cool down hard on a game when I play it this way but with Gothic I can't get enough. The character progression is incredibly satisfying and the world is great design
You lost me at ATB
Could it be the PSU instead? The extra drain from the GPU (even just draw off the mobo) could easily be the difference too. I recently also had to replace a PSU that was causing shutdowns (albeit after sustained GPU load) - fixed the problem immediately.My pc suddenly stopped working today.

Makes me wonder how much of the message sending is P2P / client side. Really weird to not have a server check if the messages are delivered by the server.

no lies detectedIt's official: Dandy Dungeon is digital crack.
ATB is one of the things that should no longer exist in JRPGs.
It's a thing that should’ve never existed in the first place. It is a bad system that was always bad and my believe will always be that the initial idea for it was „How much can we make people waste their time before they notice?“
You have more control over the battle than usual in FF7R though. Well not so much for the characters you don't control, which is a problem sometimes.
I agree that "wait around for your cooldowns lol" is the worst mechanic of JRPGs. Xenoblade is entirely based on that, that series is miserable to play.
And I think FF7R is "pretty good". Fixes a lot of problem with FF15, lots of good points, even if it suffers from padding issues and STILL annoying combat.
Big ennemies and bosses can get frustrating, especially when they you only have short windows to stagger them. But it does have pretty decent variety at least, and the characters feel nice.
The story changes are... certainly different. Hmm.
Also the game is such a disappointment visually. The cinematics received a lot of money, the larger zones on the other end are really shabby. I dig the art but damn if it isn't plain ugly during exploration, the texture work and the draw distance are just super bleh. Side quests in less relevant areas are such a serious step down, it's almost like a different game.

It's amazing. I wish it had been a bit larger maybe, but that in itself is a sign of its quality.
Klobrille has a nice banner on his Twitter profile, we will get games from these studios on Steam day 1 (except for maybe Mojang for some reason):
I don't understand ya'lls issue with it, ATB is literally just a turn based system presented in a slighty differen fashon
I played the FFVII Remake demo on my PS4P and loved it, but I should be pretty easily be able to wait 1 year or whatever is needed for the PC version due to my backlog and that I want a cheat engine table or trainer as a backup in case I wanna remove any form of grind or a battle get's way too difficulty.
I buy all JRPGs on PC as I want cheats if needed. It's somewhat of a "miracle" that I managed to play through all Xenoblade Chronicles games, Persona 5 and KH3 on consoles.

Discussion - Games that hated playing/wasted money on/won't recommend to others?
Combining all the negative ideas into one, what games you played (and maybe finished) that you felt were Very bad Bland/mediocre/nothing interesting Felt you wasted money/time into it Wouldn't recommend it, even to your enemies Anything from biggest AAAs to shovelwares. Not necessary that...

I am really loving Panzer Corps 2. Certainly my #2 game of the year under Half Life Alyx, so far. I think I still have a lot of the game left - it's really meaty.
I've had experience in TBS of course, but I've tended to prefer small unit tactics, Advance Wars, Disgaea, XCom, or simpler grand strategy - Civilization, Alpha Centarui.
I've struggled to get into some games like Stellaris and the Total War series. I have trouble with estimating economic / military scale in something like Stellaris and I find the large unit tactics of something like Total War series really unappealing.
Some others are interesting but just don't quite fit right, even though I like em - Shadow Tactics,
Now I'm wondering what other turn based strategic styles there are out there. I'm aware of the grand strategy genre but I've never gotten into em.
Like is there any especially realistic (not necessarily in scenarios but in mechanics) WW2 wargame or grand strategy? What about modern day? It doesn't seem like there's really anything like 'the year is 2020, these are the accurate number of aircraft carriers this country has and these are the accurate battlefield dynamics of such a thing...

Oh, there are so many diff kinds, maybe you wanna check out Unity of Command 2, or Order of Battle (free to try the tutorial and first mission of each DLC campaign) or Command: Modern Operations since you're in a real world kick. For more Fantasy there's Warhammer Armageddon which is Panzer Corps in 40k. I'm not one for strategy games but I've noticed these and a few others for this or that reason. Also, the Steel Division & Command Ops games. Good luck
Oh, anything with a sequel is probably worth checking the previous game in the series, if it's got some cool complete edition or people prefer it or find it equal.

low-G Hmmm, modern, turn-based, realistic strategy. There's the usual Paradox suspects like Hearts of Iron, Supreme commander and have a look at some of Slitherine's games too.
Tigers on the Hunt is effectively ASL in digital form.
Close Combat series but I'm not sure how accurate they are.
Battle Academy? Very WWII, Turn-based and at least grounded in realism.
Command: Modern Operations is RTS, ugly as sin and DEEEEEEEP. It's expensive so wait for sales as i think they discontinued the old version Command: Modern Air Naval Operations when it released.
Company of Heroes?
Unity of Command series
Order of Battle
Those good places to get you started in your search. Check out Slitherine and Paradox though.

May be too similar to PC2, but UoC2 is widely considered the best of the best in this sub-genre.
Sure is.
Pretty confident it will be landing in my GOTY Top 10.
So I guess I need to unlock Ruin Exploration in the tech tree, huh?

Does anyone actually like TAA or do we just cope with it? It's like modern FXAA, only slightly better? It's still blurry, has trouble with fast moving edges, and adds ghosting on top of that. Bleh.
DLSS seems more about taking low res things and making them bigger. But I want an AA solution that does the opposite? Downsampling still feels like the king of AA, but the cost to do it, especially at 4K+ is absolute insanity.

I like to take my time. And also get battles with over quickly when ever I have to grind. So ATB is the opposite of what I want from my experience with it.
Also 5 years ago I purchased Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, it was my first time playing Xenoblade Chronicles. The visuals were really bad and less than 2-3 hours in I just wanted to stop playing because of how bad the visuals were. But after playing it some more I was able to power through it because of how much I liked the characters (I also dislike the combat and the quest, the heart to heart stuff was cool but also has it's issues).
I never finished the game because I was sort of close to beating the game but I wanted to do all of the quest and there for never finished the game.
Also I didn't realize that Valve was advertising DotA Underlords on Instagram. I tried to look up the official DotA Underlords Instagram but could not find it. I won't mind if Valve had a Lego CS:GO set.
I keep hearing from some people that they would like PlayStation do also make AAA VR games like what Valve did with Alyx. But will they do that? What other company (Facebook/Oculus??) will end up making another AAA VR game?
And I am continuing playing DQV, good stuff.
Fallout 76's pricing is decent for me, not great but not bad either.
However, for a game that's been consistently discounted for $10 or less, that's still too much. And since it's now on Steam, watch it stuck on 50% at most for unforseeable future. I feel like these exclusive ports suddently get more value after being on Steam.

Well, I might finish Doom Eternal between today and tomorrow and at the same time I'm still playing actively Animal Crossing: NH, it's a very pleasing combination, the brutality of the DoomSlayer with the dictatorial leadership feeling of running your island. Good Stuff this year, seriously.
