it would play nice with the proper Long War mod right? not just the mini versions?
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is the game of August, for me. I am greatly anticipating it.
WotC is adding a couple big new features, like the titular Chosen, new enemy units, and new classes, plus a ton of new mechanics, but is also bringing a bevy of smaller changes. It rebalances the game a bit and makes the base game longer. The expansion, with a few of the comissioned Pavonis mods, will turn XCOM 2 into a legit Long War 0.5, which is exactly what I've wanted from it.
This video featuring lead designer Jake Solomon (80 minutes long!) gives a new introduction to all the new stuff. It all sounds so good, like a dream come true..

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is also interesting, but I'm kinda torn on it for a few reasons. The lack of Chloe's original VO kneecaps a lot of interest, even if she is directing the replacement; It's 3 eps, so unless they're really meaty it'll feel brief and unsatisfying IMO; the "deluxe" has an extra chapter featuring Max, which is a ridiculous thing to hold back; and, lastly, it just feels kinda unnecessary, as much as I'd love to see more of LiS1's characters and world.
The final game of August: Total Warhammer's Norsca DLC, free if you preorder Total Warhammer 2. It has trolls and vikings so it's a pretty easy win.
Like, tell me this isn't everything you've ever wanted from a game:
A troll! With a cape! Wowser.
It doesn't show up in search.
RIP Dino Crisis.
I'll just keep adding reviews until it does

Right away? Probably not. There's an accompanying patch IIRC, and the expansion's changes are significant, so all mods will likely need to get patched for comaptibility before they work again.
And for Long War specifically, unless they've been working with Firaxis, I doubt that they'd be able to do much with the expansion's new features until it releases and they get their hands on it. Though I don't remember how LW handled Enemy Within. (Also, I've never actually played LW!)
It seems like a follower cutoff more than a review one. The smallest curators have about ~2300 followers.

What's up!
that can't be right, 1080s can be had for $500...
Well real world benchmarks will be out in two weeks but initial info is not promising.

It's Julaugyust
I would imagine Firaxis and Pavonis are still close, so hopefully we get updates sooner
I'm about ready to remove LW2 though. Too hard, 2 failed runs so far

Wouldn't be surprised if this was put up early to avoid potential OT competition.
Posted in the last thread but not sure if anyone will see it...
KARAKARA got cards implemented last month but seems like you cant get anything past the 1st card?
Known glitch or what?
I started to play it and already finished within an hour, only got one card

I only have 2TB and I could install all the games I need cards for and those　I actually play.

Watch as they get announced for end of August XP
But that's a neat thread title.
Oh and expect a giveaway around halfway through August lads~
It'll be August in Aussie land so it all fits.

You could always idle the games you need cards for. Idle Master is a legitimate thing, yo.

Interestingly enough, it's speculated that around half the stages in Sonic Mania have footage going around on Youtube, same goes for music (there isn't a proper clean rip of Mania's Flying Battery remix IIRC).
There is however another theme put up that is for boss battles apparently, if anyone is interested in giving it a listen

Also Rockman 8 stage select theme is prob. my fav. in the original series

yeah i mean, 8tb is obviously way too much but if u can afford it i bet it feels real nice haha
I have 120GB SSD for OS and software I use for work, 500GB WD Blue or Green and 250GB WD Black for storage and I have old 250GB Samsung SSD that I got for like 20$ and it was at 85% of health (it is still at that percentage) for games. And I still have like 200GB of free space in total if not more XD
But again as soon as I am done with game I delete it.

That's what people really should do so that hard drives prices don't go skyrocketting again.

You're thinking way too small zky; 8 TB still isn't enough.

I just did the same thing a few days ago. 4TB was getting close to full. But I install everything.
Thanks
From Life is Strange.
The prequel (Before the Storm) is releasing this month.
You should make a thread anyway, SteamGAF isn't SteamGAF without monthly thread confusion.

It really stinks having limited amounts of data through Cox. Or else I'd be downloading some more games in my library. Today I'm definitely going to start Homefront. Has anyone played the first one? Is it worth playing?
This is already coming out and I didn't even finish my Long War run.

The OT is a lie! It's still July for me
So this month is the fake life is strange release, although I liked the first one enough to want to get the second, I'm definitely cautious about this outsourced one and will wait for the reviews.

Played it just this weekend. Really wasn't a fan. Gunplay felt rubbish and I hated that the ADS was a toggle (presumably you can change that but I couldn't find it in the mass of options). Thankfully it was very short.

Looking at the steam charts, Dota 2 hasn't reached its peak since May 2016.
Interesting.
Apparently, they're also pushing a new 'welcoming new players' campaign right now.
Interesting.
Considering Vega was delayed over and over again (at least it was always rumored to be) I didn't expect much more performance than with the Nvidia counterparts but I was sure Vega would be priced much more competitively than that ... .
