A question: as you may know, Paradox likes to tie some in-game content to stuff like subscribing to a newsletter, referral programs, (...).
The upcoming Empire of Sin had a similar "promotion", at least when the website launched.

May I ask: is there any place on the Paradox website were one can confirm the content we have unlocked for which games?

thanks ;)
I just checked my account in their website and I didn't found anything

I'm not sure if some one else mentioned it already or not but IAm8bit will have the PC CE of the new Ori game for $150USD. They will also have it for Xbox and N/S as well. I think I'm getting it.

One of the very few JRPGs I actually like (Chrono Trigger really being the other). I love the vibe of the world and the soundtrack quite a bit. One other thing I really liked for some reason was the discoveries, seeing the crazy things in the world and reading the history of those ddiscoveries.

Not sure if I would play it again but I would probably buy it.

Based on dream cast track originally but has some touch ups on top
This all sounds too good to be true. I have a friend who loves and is excited for Skies of Arcadia to be released on modern platforms and when this is official he's going to be so happy. I want to give him the news now, but I generally don't speak to friends about rumours and leaks I hear. :ROFLMAO:

Any timescale for release or is this one still a ways away?

Private division published it, so of course it has a pathetic regional pricing.
it costs 145% more in my region.

----------------------------------------

The fact that almost all the pirates games in this "pirate sale" are from mixed to mostly positive suggests that we need more good pirate games
The fact that Sea Dogs games aren't on sale suggests they don't know what a good pirate game looks like.

Wait, that game came out already?
I completely missed it...but then again, it looked incredibly bland, I lost any interest halfway into the first trailer, I think. Or...wait, was that Outriders? DId that come out already? I keep confusing those generic shooters. :grimacing-face:
(BTW, Im not actually asking...I dont actually care :p )

That's a lot of value
Yes, the only reason that I have waited for so long is that I always expect Original Sin 1 to be featured in Humble Choice.

I wish devs would make it official that they won't bundle their game, so that I can buy them when they are at their historical low.

I wasn't feeling ready for such commitment unfortunately.
Things not going well lately
Sorry. I hope things will get better for you.

Imho this train has long passed. Not sure how welcome a game several years old that itself has been followed by a sequel for some time would be.
You never know, but at this point...



Impulse purchases of the day I have to decide on -
Pathfinder Kingmaker Season Pass
Monster Hunter Switch

- Pathfinder was in a Choice or Monthly, but their fucking DLC wasn't (according to keikaku, obvs) and I'm waiting for a good price. Today 43% off is not bad.

- The announcement of Monster Hunter Rise sorta tempts me to play the one that's already available, good discount too, I wasn't willing to play ball at 20+ like the other sales. Buuuutt I also have to play Iceborne, and having multiple Monster Hunter on your plate is like playing several MMO, a sure-way to dropping them all. And for fuck's sake, there is the elephant in the room too : the Switch is the most entertaining console you shouldn't play on. Because playing on Switch is playing with the joycons time bomb.

MH Switch looks good, but I have barely touched World (PC) and Generation Ultimate, so I don't think I will get it for a while.

An advice from a guy who's a terrible example of what I'm about to say, but: play more, buy less. :p
One reaches a point where having too many games to play becomes overwhelming, and you struggle with what to play, or even to finish games. And it just becomes a waste of money to buy stuff, to have it remain unplayed.
Plus, with all the craziness that has been happening, where you may find yourself out of a job out of nowhere, and with some goods and services costing more, it makes sense to save a bit.

Deep Silver games are frequently on sale, so you should have more opportunities to buy the game and DLCs at a similar, or better price, in the coming months (there are big sales coming in October, December, and I believe there's one in November as well, right?).

As for Monster Hunter, if you already own a game/content that remains unplayed, going for another entry (and an inferior one, technically) will probably result in you not finishing either.

Thinking about getting Hades on Switch since crosssave sounds ace for that game and I don't necessarily start over if I could have my PC save. Just waiting on how they want to implement it.

There are never going to address that matter publicly, obviously for economical reasons. But if you follow some game devs and how they handle third story store sales you can somehow deduce if they are willing to bundle their games.

Larian is one of those developers that treat their products with fine care. They don't make aggresively discounts like other publishers or developers therefore their games don't lose much value with the passing of time. Not every publisher or developer can afford this approach tho.

Bundling is the last resort a developer or publisher should commit in my opinion. But this happens very frequently because most games don't sell well or enough at release days.

And thanks for the moral support Wok. You are a truly hero.

This!! This is what came to my mind yesterday. I was planning to play a game that were talked here in Meta some weeks ago, but I forgot the name of the game and I tried to find it in my library. It is a nightmare, while looking for it I see that I bought so many games this year that I haven't tried yet. There are even more games from last year and the years before that.
There is no point in buying new games for me. Even if playing 200 games in a year, it would take me more than 10 years for me to play all the games I have in my library.

I ended started two games yesterday: The King's Bird and Eagle Island. First game felt clunky to play I gave up on it and started with Eagle Island. This game is fun :)

Yep, I get choice paralysis if there's more than, say, 10 games installed at one time. Even that is a lot for me. It's like the games loose their flavor and I forget what it really feels like to play them if I am presented with too many of them at one time.

Lol, I have flashbacks about telling you to not give so much importance to DLC and then throwing a fit about Dragon Marked for Death just days later :tightly-closed-eyes:
We all live and learn. ;)
Change is part of the human "experience".

And by the way, about Pathfinder, someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but the game is extremely long (and should take you ages to complete), so you can always start playing it, and play the DLCs in the future, when you buy them. I believe they don't affect the whole game, but are side-content and locations, or alternate modes.

I'm guilty of buying a lot of crap that remains unplayed. :p

But, I'm making an honest effort recently to tackle some older games (I'm currently playing, among other things, Ion Fury, that remained unplayed for a year in my library), while minimizing new purchases. Every time I think about buying some "big" new game, I remind myself I have better games sitting on my library.
If you see me buying something on Steam recently (like I did today with a couple of small, cheap games), they were funded by selling cards on the Steam community market, and I'm currently hoping to fund all my expected game purchases for the rest of the year (like Cyberpunk 2077, Shiren, and Empire of Sin) this way (and with a free 100€ steam gift card I should get next month, from accumulating points with one of my credit cards). :)

When I see something that I want I always look back in my library to see if I have something similar. It mostly always ends up not buying the game :)

M. Ancel leaving the video game industry is for the best IMO.
Whaaaaaat. And BG&E2?

Shit, I had such high hopes with those idiots being fired at Ubi, he was the one guy I hoped might remain. Or did I miss something?

Yes and no. There's a place that is intertwined with the main path and that you should start poking at before the end of Chapter 1 I believe. Varnhold though, I think it can be done later.
