XCOM 2 - £13.12
Enter the Gungeon - £3.37

It's silly that the Witcher 3 DLC, as someone that owns the base game, is so expensive compared to the GOTY edition. But just buying the GOTY edition still costs more than buying the DLC, though is much cheaper than buying everything separate.

GAHHHHHHHH. This wouldn't be a problem if they put the actual expansion pass on sale, but NOOOOooo.

Welcome to Borderlands the Pre Sequel

The Valve Complete Pack did indeed seem like a hell of a lot of bang for one's buck, sadly my particular buck is rather tight at the moment. and I aint' got much FPS experience so I'm getting my feet wet with this haul. Far as I understand it, even if I already own some titles in a bundle, I still get a discount out of the ones I don't own if I buy them there, right? I'm keeping this Pack in mind, Half Life is another major lacuna in my gaming life.

Not all the time. The discount if you already own games in a pack is a new-ish feature and it's up to the Publisher whether they want to allow for that or not. I can't recall seeing any off the top of my head but I'm sure they're out there.

For some reason I kind of feel like playing a JRPG even though I haven't played one in years.

Should I get Trails in the Sky?

https://steamdb.info/bundles/

"Purchase a set" (the 1-2-3 column) means that the bundle is only purchasable if you don't own any of the included items rather than it being an option for everybody at a single, universal price a la packages.

Talking about jrpgs: The Last Remnant isn't on sale now, but next time it is (winter sale?), is it worth it?

If you can handle a slow JRPG with a lot of world building and slices of life, you're in for a great game.

Hmm... this sounds pretty good.

Same way that I bought a few of the others:

Games Republic. Had a 25% off code on top of their normal sale.

TLR has some bad technical problems, most of which can be fixed somewhat easily. That aside, I honestly think it is one of Square Enix's best modern JRPG's. Gameplay was interesting, and the soundtrack was amazing.

What's more important to you, gameplay or a good story?
If story, get Trails in the Sky.
If gameplay, get Planescape: Torment on GOG. Trumps TitS gameplay wise, but has a extremely simplified story.

It's not a one-time use??
 
it's on there for me?

only site it lists for the Standard or Deluxe is Gamestop though (35 vs 75)

I am in Canada so maybe that is why? No Gamestop here. I have a key I want to sell on B/T/S thread, I would like to give the buyer a good deal so I was looking for a baseline of what the record low was.

So 25 appears reasonable, thanks.

Probably because the only stores that sell the PC version are Windows Store and Xbox Live (physical copies of X1 games don't support Play Anywhere).

That makes sense. I got it for free as I bought my laptop 6 days before the Watchdog Promo and Amazon refuses to give me a Watchdogs code instead.

Why is Gears of War 4 not on isthereanydeal? I am trying to find the record low.

Probably because the only stores that sell the PC version are the Windows Store and Xbox Live (physical copies of X1 games don't support Play Anywhere), neither of which are tracked by ITAD.

Edit: Oh, GameStop sells keys. Interesting.

Where's the key from? I'm ultra interested (Canadian)! It would have to be tonight, though.

oh lol, this is the month's last friday? I thought it was the next friday... welp

anyone needs Dragon's Dogma? >_>

edit: and its gone
 
I don't know, but I think so? It was an apology for the Civ 6 price mistake.

I could maybe PM it, but I don't think they intended it to be public.

I used it once and had all those games in my cart. Worked fine.

yes I got it too, I thought you used it on the single games, not the total xD

I picked up Dragon's Dogma via Humble Monthly because I wanted to play it via In Home Streaming on my TV-connected laptop. Never had any issues with other games, but for some reason, Dogma just shows a black screen for a minute or so then drops back out into the client. The game is running just fine on my main machine, it just doesn't like to stream.

Any ideas?

I picked up:

Sacred 2 Gold
Titan Quest Anniversary Edition
Torchlight 2
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

I wanted more, but these will probably keep me busy for a while.

Does Oxenfree have a legit virus, or is that just Kasperky fucking up?

I don't know, but I've uninstalled it for the time being. I'd fully delete the files, but Windows isn't letting me delete any leftover Steam game files.
I'm keeping it installed for now in case it's a false positive. If anyone has another antivirus programs that picks it up, let me know 'cos then I'll outright get rid of it.

1) Tax reasons
2) Consistent pricing (discount is automatically calculated, so it's always 'correct' price)
3) Less prone to errors (missing depots, etc.)

He's asking about the "purchase as a set" option specifically. Valve says it's to facilitate Deluxe Edition/Soundtrack Edition/etc. upsells, particularly as, due to the static discount, the option allows the bundle to be purchased a gift; however, in practice, it's just the preferred choice of publishers who are willing to sweeten the deal for newcomers but don't want existing owners to get too good a deal on the content they're missing.

I understood it more as of what different between "purchase as set" vs. creating singular package. (Originally there wasn't even "Complete the Set", it's fairly recent addition.)

Did I already miss this? Shows $60 for me. God damnit, Gamestop.

Just an fyi but while gamestop has fixed the $15 price on Hitman, you can still buy the Intro Pack for $3.74 and Upgrade Pack for $12.49, which is only slightly more than the original price of $15.

The Last Remnant is a weird beast to me. I can't say I liked it much but I always felt that the game had a lot of potential that just wasn't taped.

The game has many issues in its mechanics that can make it obnoxious to unplayable.

What stands out a lot is that you have very little control over anything. The computer randomly decides most aspects of the game. What attack your troops can do this turn, what weapons they equip, what class they change to, etc.

You have a small modicum of control, but things can easily go awry or just not take your inputs into considerations.

Another thing is the 'level' system which is pure garbage. I'd suggest getting a trainer (cheating software) and just adjust your Battle Rating when it feels off.
DO NOT GRIND IN THIS GAME (EXCEPT ON MINI-BOSS / RARE UNITS)

So I bought and started Oblivion again after spending like 300 hours on it back on 360 in 06-07. Boy. Kind of dated. Nexus to the rescue. Nostalgic as hell theme music though. And Patrick Stewart is still great.

I agree that you shouldn't grind in this game - but the PC version significantly changed the anti-levelling system. Unlike the 360 version, for the most part it isn't that much of a problem in the PC version any more as long as you aren't the type to sit around killing monsters repeatedly to gain levels.

Absolutely agree that it had a lot of untapped potential though. Really would love to see a fixed "remaster" of sorts come out one day.

When did this authentication thing happen with selling stuff on steam?

The mobile auth stuff? Been there for a few months now.
