Community MetaSteam | November 2022 - Miles, you gotta go fast.

[Prodigy]

Got to play a fair bit of Darktide over the weekend. Really enjoying it so far. A lot of fun.

I have been patiently waiting for the gamepass version on the 30th, as I just want to test my performance, will play base game on xpass until the map packs start coming then get on steam. Lots of reports of it being very heavy on the CPU (and mine is utter shit).

 

[Li Kao]

There are 5 maps, and 13 missions total, that use different layouts for these maps.
I agree that it lacks variety there and it's the #1 thing they gotta work on for post-launch support.

Nurgle's always been the poster child for the Chaos Gods, even though we all know Slaanesh is where its at.

Tzeentch or bust.

This year, I went "all in" on this sale, instead of waiting for the Winter sale.
I bought a big chunk of my top wishlisted games, mostly from various websites (Gamebillet and Fanatical, in particular, had some nice deals, and I even got a free 10€ voucher on Fanatical), which should last me for ages. Which is good, since I'm planning to further cut back on my games spending next year to an absolute minimum (outside of the occasional "special" title), like I already did with other things (Blu-Ray releases, music purchases, ...). Life is getting more expensive by the day, plus time is finite, and considering how long it takes to me to go through most games, I think it's time for me to "close shop", and enjoy the countless titles I have yet to touch.


The final "big" titles from this sale were:





And I purchased, mostly from third-party stores, to take advantage of better deals/additional vouchers/(...):



















It's an insane amount of stuff, and a decent amount of € spent, but then I look at the price of, say the Forspoken Digital Deluxe Edition, and I realize I bought most of my list for less than what a single Deluxe Edition of a recent game costs, and feel slightly better.

Discussion - What are you currently playing? (Week 48: Nov 28th - Dec 4th, 2022)

We are entering December! What are you playing during this final stretch of the year? I am still going through Harvestella. Over 20 hours and I have finally finished chapter 3. The whole chapter was divided into three parts and they acted as introductions to some towns and main party members...

Soo not everything then. They left out the most important part.

I was halfway through The Pedestrian last night and when I got back to the game today, my progress was gone. Huge bummer. Lost my motivation to continue playing.

What's the best version of Warcraft 3? Classic W3 + Frozen Throne or Reforged? Right now Im looking into piracy as Blizzard can go fuck themself these days.

Don't even think about getting Reforged. The best version is still the classic Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne. If you want to play the campaign, then remember to launch the Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos first, because not all campaigns are visible if you launch the game through the Frozen Throne exe file.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Is it even possible to play classic W3 anymore? Thought it wasn't possible anymore, shy of using the old discs

 

[Alexandros]

What shall I play next - Guardians of the Galaxy or Dying Light 2?

Definitely Guardians.

 

[fantomena]

Piracy, cross your fingers you have old discs somewhere or buy them somewhere online.

Honestly, I feel piracy is the absolute easiest route for classic W3. Just a google search "how to download Warcraft 3 reddit" and you are well on your way.

 

[MomoVideo]

If you didn't back up your installation before the Reforged update, then I don't think there is a way. There was a trick with opting for a PTR version of the game and that would install the pre-reforged version, but I don't know if it still works.

that's a shame, it's a pretty damn good puzzle game. I'd probably do the same for most games where I lost a big chunk of progress, though

 

[fokkusu]

If you have disc version of W3 you can redeem the serial code via Battle.net and download the classic version. I had earlier only W3 and I was lucky few years back with second hand Frozen Throne serial no one hasn't activated that some granny was selling.

Last purchases of the sale for me

The Settlers: New Allies will launch on PC on February 17, 2023

We’re excited to announce that The Settlers: New Allies will be coming to PC on February 17, 2023! Find out more about the three different game modes and our upcoming live streams here.

www.ubisoft.com

The preorders page only shows Uplay and EGS. I wonder if Ubi is going to act cute and not release their new games day and date on Steam.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Are we honest to YHVH getting fucking LAST BIBLE on Steam before Kingdom Hearts

Jesus CHRIST Square

 

[fantomena]

Bought Back 4 Blood Deluxe, probably my last autumn sale purchase on PC. Sparing my money for the winter sale.

I'm lost at this point. Is it the shitty Settlers that was pushed back and panned during beta, or a new one ?

I would wait and see how things develop with Ubisoft, some games might be still under contractual obligations like this or Skull and Bones.

To be honest, I feel there might be a delay for some but Mirage might be coming day 1.

 

[toxicitizen]

Didn't get much in the sale. Wasn't going to get anything, really, but Darktide is really good and 40K does this thing where it's so rad that it makes you want even more 40K so...







They haven't made a Total War 40K yet so the fantasy one will have to do for now. Been a while since I touched the first one but I'm kind of excited to see how they merge the two maps in one big campaign.

Oh and my nominations for the Steam Awards.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I'm thinking about buying Mass Effect Legendary Edition as the price being asked is ok for 3 games.

It’s a good collection. Don’t regret my purchase at all and I have put over 100 hours into it.

Gamebillet seems to be doing a pretty good sale. I'm seeing historical lows for SMT3 and Like a Dragon.

I wouldn't use that as an indicator for anything. Assassin's Creed Valhalla page doesn't mention EGS. A lot of the pages don't mention EGS, but will mention the Ubisoft Connect.

I keep forgetting how truly bizarre some of Square-Enix's platform decisions can be. From talking with a friend who just caved and bought a Switch, I realized that games like Harvestella and Octopath aren't on Playstation.

And I was just reminded that they announced a new Theatrhythm game but only for Switch and PS4. Just... why lol. Why can't they just be normal?

This is the company that announced a The Last Remnant remaster, pulled the game from sale on PC but only sold the remaster for consoles, so you can buy neither the remaster nor the original for PC currently. That was 4 years ago.
Their overall sales strategy is incredibly stupid, but imo they have some really strong departments counteracting the leadership idiocy and wasted sales potentials, so they keep trucking along.

This is still the most insane thing they did of them all.
Effectively unporting a videogame.

Do I risk using my 2-3 years old thermal paste and arctic cleaner solution ?
Because EVERYTHING is delivered today except the two accessory products that are in postal limbo.

Holy shit, I forgot about that. Was it really that long ago? At the time, I assumed it would come to PC at a later date but at this point it's probably safe to assume it's not happening lmao. I'm assuming the remaster was terrible and/or sold like shit?

Noctua thermal paste bought on July 11th 2020

Noctua site 'NT-H1 can be used for up to 2 years after opening as long as the tube is closed correctly after usage. The paste can be stored at normal room temperature, cooling is not required. Exposure to sunlight should be avoided though.'
