Could someone help me out here please?
Humble has a sale on EA games, can someone check and see for me what the sale price is for A way out?

A Way Out [[UWSL][UWSL][UWSL][UWSL]Origin[/UWSL][/UWSL][/UWSL][/UWSL]] - 92% off - 2,39€
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection [[UWSL][UWSL][UWSL][UWSL]Origin[/UWSL][/UWSL][/UWSL][/UWSL]] - 67% off- 6.59€

Even cheaper if you have a Humble Bundle Choice sub
Amazing deal for C&C if you're fine with Origin. I need to go back to it myself but playing TD on Hard is super annoying (the original game never had Hard difficulty so it's unbalanced as hell).

Played a little bit of Per Aspera Demo. I find it quite relaxing.



The topographical map style is neat but looks kinda sparse when zoomed in.


I've asked them politely in the survey to stay away from 505 Games and EGS. Hopefully, it won't fall on deaf ears.

This is genuinely interesting, thank you for linking.

Not a confirmation, not a reputable source (obviously), but at least the original image filename looks legit. Something to think about I guess. Officially, Sega only has Humankind gameplay reveal scheduled, but there are a bunch of unannounced reveals in Gamescom's schedule, so...

This is the standard reply from them for all "will XYZ be there?" questions. Their PR people almost definitely don't know jack shit about what's going to be shown.

Well, the fact that Sega is attending Future Games Show today remains and I can only see them showing either another Yakuza 7 trailer or a new port there.

EDIT: I guess some PSO2 news is also a possibility.
Don't take this too seriously, it was just a joke 😊

I'm aware. I'm just saying that in light of the news about Sega attending Future Games Show, that FB response being generic doesn't mean we won't get any good news from Sega.
 
I finished Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk and it was really neat, although the requirements for the True Ending are somewhat annoying, still I really enjoyed my time with it, I'm glad NISA brought it over and I'm looking forward to Galleria (hopefully it'll be ported to PC if/when they localize it)

I also purchased Disco Elysium but I see it has no controller support, I'm refunding it and will purchase it later when/if it's added after the console release.

Why ? Are you exclusively couch gaming ?
Simple curiosity.
 
I just prefer to play with a controller and there's no way they're not adding it to the console version, atm I see it relies on a mod for that but I'd rather have it native.

Honestly nowadays the only things I'll play with k+m are either shooters or strategy games for everything else I prefer a controller.
 


Still looks dated to me. That ugly bloom yeesh...


Looks indeed like they hardly changed anything, yeah...

Looks like they've just added a sharpen filter to the textures but yeah, dat bloom. You forget that the 360/PS3 era was full of [UWSL][UWSL]piss filters[/UWSL][/UWSL], [UWSL][UWSL]brown textures[/UWSL][/UWSL] and [UWSL]bloom[/UWSL]. I bet some people are pining for it to return, bleh.

Yup! I'm so glad we're past that era.
 
Thinking about the Sims some more, I suppose it's better to play it on Origin. If it catches you, there is a mortgage level of DLC, but at least you can find them on key sellers. The Sims 4 on Steam could be quite pricey.
Not that I really want to spend a lot on the game, but you never know.

I might be mistaken, but I think I read that since everything links to Origin anyway, including the Steam version, you can mix and match the Steam version with DLC you own on Origin. Can anyone confirm this?

Same feelings as others. It's more of a testament to how good the base game was that it still looks okay in 2020, but the bloom and rendering don't seem much changed. I'm not sure they even touched the UI from the looks of it.

Still interested but this sends of signals of low-effort "remaster".
 
Lol, my Sims 4 Origin experience :
Install, finalization, error message, something about VC++
Google the issue, answer by EA is totally like one you could have with Apple (meaning, pathetic).

I'm not sure I want to play it enough to bother.
 
My Wasteland 3 game pass experience so far.

Yes, I've tried every solution in existence that I know of. The game is also sitting in the game pass side bar on the left acting like it's installed.

Yeah, that's about right. Had this with MCC as well.
You may need to open up the MS Store to see if there are any updates queued for the Xbox app. I got it to work at some point, but I can't remember how.
 
Is Othercide any good? I love me some XCom, and I dig the art style, even if it is a bit... anime...
i would say its pretty great from what i played so far (really love the timeline of action mechanic , which make it work a bit differently than standard xcom), but depends a lot on how you see rogoulikey mechanics that are part of it ... its like Xcom x Darkest Dungeon in that regard

Highly likely to not be the same issue but my Sims 4 used to just crash at the main menu and no amount of googling could solve it. Turned out to be MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner. If you got them on your system, turn them off and have another go.

Dunno if anyone posted this before, but MS (read this as the AoE team) fixed their regional pricing for AoE 3 DE. Now I can be there day one :tightly-closed-eyes:
Does that mean they'll jack the launch price up to something completely unreasonable in your local currency?

It looks like it's a VC++ issue here.

The game comes with
vc2010sp1\
vc2013\

Tried a repair for each, with both x86 and x64.
Nothing changed.

Tried to install VC2015 as maybe that's the one I need, but the installation tells me it can't continue due to the presence of other VC versions.

Should I uninstall every VC++ and just install the newer one ?
This is middle/high on the ball breaking scale.

It almost feels like publishers are doing this deliberately to push pre-orders as people fear that the price might go up anytime leading up to launch.

I've lost count of games that had its price "corrected" in the pre-order phase over the years.
 
Yeah, that's about right. Had this with MCC as well.

It still boggles my mind how Microsoft managed to completely botch the basic process of downloading and installing a game. Truly embarrassing for a huge software company.
