Well, there you have Polygon saying Regional Pricing was a mistake for devs, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU? HUH?!?

Anyone knows a good deal, or discount code, for the games Darksiders III (Deluxe Edition), and X4: Foundations (Collector's Edition)?

Pretty sure everyone has Full Throttle Remastered, but in case someone doesn't, here you go: H7TYM-A58N8-REQZ0
should've put it in the "hide until liked" tag at least :p

I now have 2000 games on Steam!:D Burly Men at Sea became the game, maybe not that special, but at least it was a game that was on my Wishlist.:D

So CD Projekt said fuck it and raised the price of Thronebreaker for like 300% on most of the poorer regions. Good luck getting another GOG purchase from me. I can understand that on their own website they don't have all the setup for regional currencies, etc, but this is a different story.

That is bizarre, esp. when on GOG you get GOG Wallet credit for any purchase where the price in your region is higher than in USD.

They have regional price for Brazil on GoG and it's the same price as Steam. R$99.99
Yeah, but this way, people from poorer regions who were on the fence about their platform of choice will not have to think about prices, since they are the same.
Of course, if CDPR was really all about that "customer first" stuff, they would have changed the price in their store to reflect the Steam prices instead of doing it the other way round.

Castle of Illusion 2013 holds up well visually IMO. Controls feel kind of off at times but generally the gameplay works well for the way they designed the levels.
yeah, it still looks awesome ... i'm sooooo glad they remade that one!

now if only they could remake Mickey Mania as well ... in the style of Cuphead (graphics, i mean) ... imagine that

Speaking of Disney, I wish they would re-release QuackShot.
That game was a lot of fun. :giggle:

HITMAN 2 is so awesome!
I'm blown away by the scale of the game. Everything is so big, so fluid, even that intro mission in New Zealand is so immersive.

I'm perplexed to see reviews of 7's (like IGN) and 3.5's for the game, and reviewers complaining about the graphics and presentation of the game.
I really don't understand game reviews any more. Not that I ever cared about them too much. Heck, I just went through 2 playthroughs of The Quiet man. :p

I have a question, though.
I never completed the previous game, for almost comical reasons.
First, I pre-ordered the game, but when it originally launched, I played the tutorials, but on the first mission the game kept crashing. My graphics card was busted. I went months without being able to play any games, except the most basic things.
Almost a year later, already with a new card, I went through the tutorials and the first 4 or so chapters, and... my replacement graphics card got busted. :eek:

Thankfully, last year I got a new PC, so I'm hoping I can finally complete the story of the first game, on these new improved versions.
But, my question is: where does the Patient Zero campaign fit in all this? And that Sniper mode?

Since I now have downloaded the content/missions of the first game, how shall I tackle it?
Should I just go through Story mode, and ignore the other modes and the Patient Zero campaign, or does that fit in with the Story Campaign?

Patient Zero is kind of an epilogue, i think .... and the Sniper stuff is just side-missions

you'd have to ask BernardoOne - he's the Hitman fanatic around here ;) (has over 1600h in S1 :p)

They can really do some awesome stuff with their classic games, World of Illusion with online coop and refined difficulty and levels could be great. There are many more so let's see if they decide to bolster their games portfolio.

they won't ... Disney doesn't really care about gaming anymore (unless someone shows up on their doorstep with a huge sack of cash ... see: EA, Squeenix etc.)

Play Patient Zero after beating Season 1.

Hitman 2's visuals are superb indeed, so giving it any kind of low score makes one question if they played the game on a base PS4 or X1 on an old ass HDTV and judged it off of that.

yeah, i can't understand some of those reviews .... like some of them say "it's more of the same" .... so what if it is? what were they expecting this time around, a kart racer? it's "more of the same" awesome gameplay ... and that's definitely NOT a bad thing

I have surely spoken too soon about my like of BF V. The more I play the more I hate it. It's not necessarily doing anything wrong, but it's just not matching up to the amount of fun that BF4 was. My favorite class, Support, is still ruined from BF1 and now made worse with a downright awkward contextual-deploy-only bipod mechanic and no-ADS for half the MG selection.

I keep buying Battlefield games, hoping they'll swing back around to the crazy chaos of BF4, I want to re-live those days in a newer and more populated game... but they just aren't going that way anymore. Urgh.

What I can say though is that it's a very pretty game, and at 4K/Ultra my 1080ti weeps. This is a game that won't be playable at 4K/Ultra until Nvidia's next line even after these latest RTX cards.

It does, I was really lookin' forward to it. I don't think it's bad, it's just not what I'm searching for in a BF game I guess.

I uninstalled it lol. After thinkin' on it all afternoon, It's really just not for me and that's okay. They'll swing back around to modern weaponry and vehicles eventually, and when they do I'll be there.

Assuming I don't die first.

I'm so pissed at CDPR right now.

I'd probably be fine with the price update if they actually did it right. The thing is, they don't. Out of 6 Southeast Asian countries, only 2 that are not affected by the price update. The rest (including my country) got updated price with direct conversion to USD. What's the reason behind that if not pure ignorance and stupidity? This is not how you push people to your GOG platform, if anything I detest it more than ever. Moreover, I actually topped up my Steam wallet that day to buy Thronebreaker. Just right after I redeemed my code, I just noticed that the price has changed. Screw them.
