It's pretty impressive how much EA is doing right with this remaster.
Yeah C&C is looking good. I dont really buy games at launch these days but im going to get this. Mostly as i loved it way back when and also i want it to sell well on Steam to get EA cracking with moving their other games over.

Cough....Titanfall 2......cough.

I need to buy a new TV for the living room, what to get? I mostly don't like samsung's washed out colors, but it has steam link built in right?
Depends on your budget. There are a lot of good TVs out there for gaming. Ive got an LG B6 and the picture is fantastic. The new OLED LGs are coming out soon i think and they have VRR for gaming.

I think the LG CX OLEDs are out in a week or two over here (UK) and if I had £1500 I'd get the 48" model for sure, if only for VRR/G-Sync support.

  • Have Saboteur on Origin 💪
  • Be happy that I have since I never played it 💪
  • Install and get excited 💪
  • Game doesn't run because of SecuROM 🦶
  • Be too cheap to buy on GOG. 🦶
  • Bought The Saboteur digitally cheap from a online retailer.
  • Activated it on Origin.
  • Played a bit
  • Raged that you couldn't play it at modern resolutions without messing up the map.
  • Years later, heard GOG solved the resolution issue.
  • Rebought immediately
  • Haven't played it yet

This game looks and sounds so good. It's basically an open world RPG where you can play solo, but with optional co-op like Monster Hunter. The game is massive with lots of things to explore and do besides following the story quests. Give it a watch.

Mid-day haul (some great prices with Choice discount)
Call of Cthulhu - 9.59

Eh, I didn't make the Lovecraft OT by accident :drinking-blob:

Still need Lobotomy Corporation, Troubleshooters, The Infectious Madness of Dr Dekker and Poe & Munroe.
Choices will have to be made. Life. Hard.

That temp art is gorgeous. I don't much care about artifact but seeing a game in the rough stage of development like this is priceless :).

Also, good on id but I'd say refund requests did what they were supposed to do. This is a great outcome.

Looks nice but the size of that map is really intimidating.

Genshin Impact is basically Breath of The Wild with more anime.
It's more than that, it's a proper RPG with stats, gears, and skills progression.

Looks nice but the size of that map is really intimidating.
Not quite with the traversal options. The gliding would help most of the time, and there are also wind bursts that will take you up to the sky.

I mean in the sense of how long the game must be. It must be a tremendous time investment.

The only comfort when thinking about getting old is that one probably has more time for video games!
The problem is also having the health.

I mean, yeah. It's a service game first and foremost, people are supposed to spend a helluva lot of time in the game.

But still, I like the emphasize on lore, story, and side story, including of the characters'. It's something that's always missing in lots of service games.

Yeah, it looks interesting but it's probably too much of a commitment for me.

too bad the online-onlyness of it kills it for me completely ... i swore to myself after D3 and SC2013 that solo-able premium priced game with expiration date is NoNo

Well, this is funny.

I owned:
-Mafia (with the DLC that grants the full soundtrack, since I bought it early on, before they removed some licensed tracks)
-Mafia II (with all DLCs, even one that wasn't sold on Steam)
-Mafia III (with all DLCs).

With the recent updates:
-Mafia II turned into Mafia II (Classic), and a Mafia II: Definitive Edition entry was added to my library;
-Mafia III turned into Mafia III: Definitive Edition

Since owning the upcoming Definitive Edition of the first game grants a few bonus in-game items on the sequels, and since I'm planning to replay Mafia II, I went ahead and bought the Mafia Trilogy bundle, since it's slightly cheaper than pre-ordering Mafia: Definitive Edition alone on Steam.
I got a message saying I wouldn't be getting extra copies of the games I already owned (which is to be expected), and I finished my purchase.

With my purchase, a few things were added to my libray:
-I naturally have a library entry for Mafia: Definitive Edition. So far, so good.
-I had an entry for the Vegas DLC added to Mafia II (Classic), which is a bit silly, since I already owned it, so now I have 2 Vegas DLC entries.
-And finally, for some reason, I have another new entry called... Mafia II.

So yeah: I now have 3 entries for Mafia II:
-Mafia II
-Mafia II (Classic)
-Mafia II (Definitive Edition)

🤔

Checked some benchmarks comparing the 10900k to my 5820k and the gap in gaming performance is really dissapointing, it's like 10-15 fps or something in the majority of games. The benchmarks also uses the base clock and I have OC'd my 5820k.

The gap is only big when it comes to video and music encoding and editing, stuff I don't do.

It's not always easy to keep track of the current Steam sales, since some are relegated to a small banner, but there's a couple of publisher sales going on right now:

Playism 9th anniversary sale:

Artifex Mundi sale:

So now you have to decide whether you want to play Mafia II, Mafia II or Mafia II!

While im glad publishers are starting to realize having 5 million storefronts is bad (thank you epic), this is coming way too late. Anyone who is interested in this game likely is already past it.
Maybe will open to a new audience, im playing a lot of coop 4 players game with my friends and this looks like a good game to play.
