Don't say such terrible things ;_;
Would be pretty shitty.
So, Nabs, Stallion and You are a big happy family?
Thank you anonymous benefactor! I wanted to try the beta but all the keys were already gone.

The uplay humble bumble average is over $12 now. Higher than any Steam bundle has ever been?
Uplay > Steam, clearly.

Saw this on my Steam feed, 59 Chinese Yuan = $9.5ish for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

Apparently it's ROW but I don't know if keys are even out yet (plus this sub exists so you may have to VPN activate: https://steamdb.info/sub/65003/)

They aren't the fastest at supplying keys, and you need Chinese IP to buy from this site.
I guess thats one way to drive the average up.

I have no interest but maybe of you someone has.

Well I got my order confirmation email and about 1 minute later I got a 'Your promotional code' email. Though they do say it can take up to 48 hours.

Legos Star Wars Saga makes you play through Episodes I-III to get to the non-prequel stuff.
I don't know if i have it in me to do that.

Strange that they make you play the game in the wrong order.
Yeah I'm on mobile. I didn't see that box. Thanks. Now to find that cheap copy of The Old Blood.
I remember the post was about how it was region locked in Germany.. But it wasn't everywhere else.
Nope. Just the first level, then everything is open.
Wasn't it on Nuveem?

I just checked and the highest donation is $150 from some streamer. I doubt someone spent $280,000 on the bundle

Aw. I was hoping for some outrage threads "Ubi CEO drives up Humble Bundle average!"

I don't know why they want you to play that fanfic stuff but i guess they're justifying their production costs
That's great news! I was saving the game for the end of the year, nice to know that i can just jump into the OG trilogy without much of a hassle
I have no more money for games the foreseeable future.

Obviously a way to give money for the earthquake relief.
Also, local gaming mag will have Wolfenstein 2009 on their cover DVD. I take it, it aren't Steam copies?
You talking about CD Action? Definitely buying that, even if they will have Uplay version of Anno 2070.
Fuck Bethesda.
Yup. Also, didn't knew about Anno.
I accept favors
Switched over to Jedi Knight II as Dark Forces was giving me motion sickness.
Jedi Knight II is quite impressive. 16:9, arbitrary resolution support, FOV options, and support for high framerates in 2002? Quite impressive.
I'm playing it at 1440p for now, but I might push it to 4K for reasons.

<_< what kind of person do you think I am? =p
The Desolate Hope is free, apparently. (Probably late, since the switch seems to have happened on saturday)
You skipped Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II? The shame. The FMV's are fan-fucking-tastic.

Yeah, Dark Forces is hard to play now. I was showing Jedi Knight II to my son a few months ago and was blown away at how good it looked still. That is one of those games I am looking forward to the Steam Controller on. I think you can probably create an Xpadder profile for it (in fact I think I might have) but you end up having to set two button sets with a "shift" type key because there are so many buttons. Great game though that I plan on playing through again soon...
You mean they look like they were fanmade? ;-)

Some quick impressions for Betrayer: I only put a couple of hours into it before it crashed on me, so that's as good a place as any to stop for impressions.
The story: The game appears to be "figure out the story as you go along," but near as I can tell, something went down at an English colony/fort involving the Spanish and the Native Americans sometime prior to the American Revolution, and now the only actual human around is Little Red Riding Hood, who doesn't even notice the monstrous Spaniard-beasts. Maybe this is gonna be some Silent Hill 3 "They look like monsters to you?" shit, but I'm not sure. You have the ability, using a bell, to travel betweenFog World and Other World day and night, with different monsters for each, and the ability to see ghost quest givers at night. "Find my wife plz" "Find my head plz" etc. The way it's set up though is not too bad. It's intriguing, but without too much cryptic bullshit. It's a bit sparse, but it's alright.
The gameplay: You've got limited ammo and three main types of weapons (bow for long range, musket for medium, pistol for short,) a melee attack that appears to do somewhere between "sneeze" and "mosquito bite" for damage, limited healing, and enemies that can very quickly close in on you for the kill. So...it's more or less a first-person survival horror variant. The only jumpscare so far was a giant spider jumping out of a crate (zkylon alert!) One point to note is that I tend not to go for horror games, but it was a birthday gift so I'm giving it a fair shake. I'm also not GOOD at these sorts of games, so when I say it's pretty hard, you guys might say it's decently challenging or even fairly easy. You can manually save, but I haven't tried loading a save before I died or anything to see if I can scum a bit. And also, two hours in I tried to save and it froze on me where previously the saves worked fine. So that's a strike against the gameplay.
The graphics: Stylistic. The default graphical style is black and white, with certain things in red for emphasis (the woman's cape, highlighted monsters or items of interest, etc.) However, there is a slider where you can make the game in full colour, or if you want just add a little colour and keep things muted. Nice touch. The environments look rather nice, but the guards and skeletons look...I don't know, rather basic. As if the artist said, "It's a skeleton, what more do you want from me?" They don't look BAD, they just look simplistic and without any creative flair.
The audio: Sound is important in this game. There's a "listen" key that alerts you to things, and collectibles give off a chime like that root in the Elder Scrolls. It's not always clear WHAT I'm going towards, so it would have been nicer to get some kind of clarity in the sound, but it's something. I didn't see any alternate options for the hard of hearing, so if you do, this game might not be for you OR it might just present an additional challenge.
The verdict: For a game in a genre of which I'm not particularly fond, it's alright. I was expecting something scarier, and I was expecting worse gameplay, but I was pleasantly surprised. I guess all that's left for me to do is "git gud."

Are we roleplaying now?
kinky
Lol I read that earlier. I was like who? Valve employees?
I really like these one sided cherry-picked arguments made into a click baity article like always from kotaku.
GermanGAF, SlovakianGAF and CzechGAF, as stated above, the latest issue of CD Action that will be hitting Polish newsstands next week will have full version of Wolfenstein 2009.
This game:
Since Bethesda isn't interested in bringing the game back to Steam, it's a great way to get the game on the cheap (~$4), especially if you live near the Polish border.
Don't see anything PL related in SteamDB entry for the game, so you should be getting the proper version. I plan on buying the mag, so I will confirm whether it's the real deal.
Sadly, no Steam keys AFAIK. Still, might be worth taking a note about it.

There were similar stories back when Xbox one changed how it's system would be.
Well seeing as how Twitter, reddit, and GAF exploded over the issue, I thought it was nice to see the other side, especially from mod developers.
Of course the "international magazines" store stopped carrying that this year =p

And Bethesda, and people who now can't make some easy bucks off crappy in-game gears.
Makes me happy.
This game will be a day one purchase from me
Don't kill me but I'll maybe pre-order it
It's alright I think we can all rest assured that the PC version of Deus Ex Mankind Divided will be no slouch since once again Nixxes are on the job.
