Yeah, it's an incredibly odd move by the publisher (or whomever makes those decisions) if they are really set on not including it in the season pass they could at least add it as dlc for those interested.

Well, they might as well do that whenever they finish the game.
Which seems to be late 2018, if the current pace is anything to go by.
Wonder what will finish first, King's Quest or Kentucky Route Zero?
 
With the exception of Starfighter on PS2, I've never played any of the Star Wars games that are on sale currently. Which ones should I consider? Do any of those hold up well today?

Definitely KOTOR 1 + 2

I imagine some will also say the Jedi Knight games but I think they've not aged too well personally

Wow digital still really doesn't sell at all on consoles, does it? Have to think they are disappointed with the PS4 numbers. It wasn't as great a game as I had hoped for, but still very solid and looking forward to whatever they do next.

Console digital prices are a fucking joke.

So I got AC Rogue and Syndicate instead of Unity. Better choice? Always heard Unity wasn't that strong and that Rogue was just fine.

Syndicate is great. (Play as Evie)

I finished the main story for Unity today. It was okay. I liked some of the changes they did from the AC2-era games for parkouring and combat, but I get the feeling it got really refined in Syndicate which is the one probably worth getting.

Overall I think I liked Unity but I think it's kinda at the bottom after playing it for a while. Gonna check out the Dead Kings expansion too later. I think the setting alone in Unity is fine, but it all depends on if you think so. Dunno how I'd feel about going back to the older games with all the gameplay changes from Unity onwards.

What resolution are you playing at. Kind of curious about the answers you'll get as I thought about picking this up too.

I'm not hard to please. The target is 1080p at a solid 60fps.

I had zero issues with the game. Performance was great, plenty of options, and did not run into any crashes.

I played it on release with a similar rig to yours, (weaker GPU though) and didn't have any problems at all. Don't remember it crashing much if at all,

It runs really well on my PC which is weaker than yours, so you should be fine.

Thanks for the input! I may pull the trigger on this. I'm not too far into the game on PS4 because every time I boot it up I end up spending an hour just playing around in the world.

I just bought GTAV recently and I would say it isn't optimised well at all. There are random frame rate drops that don't make any sense...Basically I'm not that happy with it.
Click to expand...

Hmm...well, I'm not concerned with the cut-scenes so much, as long as the gameplay is mostly 60, that's what's I'm upgrading for.

I'll field this one with some easy to understand categories:

Needs a bit of modding/love, but worth the time if you like the genre:
Kotor 1+2 (Rpg)
Empire at war (Strategy)

Don't really hold up but fuck it buy them anyway because they used to be awesome:
Tie fighter
Jedi Outcast + academy

Don't really hold up and probably just worth having to flesh out your library but used to be awesome:
x-wing and xwing vs tie fighter
starfighter
Battlefront 2

Way too old:
Dark forces
Jedi Knight

Play for an hour and bail out:
The force unleashed
republic commando

Episodes 1-3 level garbage:
The force unleashed 2

Fucked if I know:
The clone wars one
 
Besides crying, what can I do to an item that is not available on my region and it appears on my queue? I'm unable to advance through it now.

Edit: Leaving the page and coming back seems to have fixed it.

If you are willing to drop down grass detail a notch or two you shouldn't have any issues running it at fixed 60 fps. I have a similar setup (but with a weaker CPU, 3570k) and dropping down grass quality a bit was all that I needed to achieve my goal of steady 60fps.

Contact Steam support about the issue. You will then embark on an epic quest to get the CSR to actually read what you sent to them and you'll completely forget your mundane card problems.

Is Battlefront II worth buying for the multiplayer alone ? Apparently the official servers are shutdown , but some servers are running on Gameranger. Did anyone try playing it on Gameranger and can inform us how many players are online?

There are afew hundred people on Gameranger nothing amazing but if you are American then knock yourself out as there is always servers.
 
Man i thought this sale would be easier after having got through my first few but no - oh i forgot about this yada yada.....

And then you lot in this thread keep reminding me of great games that i want - you lot kill my wallet and my willpower!!!
 
The whole "look through these games and get cards!" just made me discover a new game. A game I ended up buying without hesitating.

Downwell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UygovwXlbsU

You... fall down and shoot things with your feet. Looks really fun. Anyone played it?

I think the fact the trailer just started - no logo or anything - with some good music is what made it catch my eye.
 
Oh, hey, the Giant Bomb community thread was closed for the duration of their GOTY feature. Well, well. :p

Yes, get Downwell. When you want to play something for 10 minutes or so and have a great time, it'll be there for you. Also, it's $2. Come on.
 
Ok I have a few questions:

1. Just to be sure, all sales are active right now, correct? All games that are on sale right now will not change sale price and no new games will be on sale correct?

2. Is anyone looking to split a rocket league 4 pack?

3. *bonus* generally speaking, with a capable PC, vr will have more games and offer a better experience than PlayStation vr?
 
All sales are active, though certain big publishers are not. Ubisoft, is for instance, doing daily deals, even if doesn't call them that. See Zombi on the front page, Asscreed series before that, South Park before that. So Ubisoft games you should wait till they are featured on the front page or the last day.

Though it seems largely to just be games with no discount affected. If it has a discount, it's likely staying that way.

Not sure, but you can download Gameranger and check for yourself. You don't need the game but you can add and check if there are any servers, obviously you won't be able to join a room without the game.

Thanks , found out at least 6 populated servers.

New games MAY be on sale later on (Ubisoft is doing that stuff, though I think they already put everything on sale now)
But yes, you could say that all sales are active right now.
 
After more than 7 years as a Steam user, I finally reached an important milestone today: Someone's trying to scam me, lol.
