Red Faction Guerilla's framerate is basically cut in half on my 970 at 4K if I turn their ambient occlusion setting on. It looks like ass so that makes for an easy turn off.

Really nice to see the Nordic dev come out today and do the Red Faction steamworks patch. Lots of people are happy about it. We need more of it.

I've read on the RF forum that they're going to officially patch Gothic 3 with the latest community patch.

That option in SR4 did the same thing to me.
Was running it odd on my 660. Turned it off everything is fine.

I take it there's no way to add $0.01 to a humble bundle you just bought, is there? I accidentally paid a cent less than what was needed to reach a tier... god damn it

There is a button to increase your order amount, but I'm not sure if it will actually unlock new tiers. I guess at 1 cent off, you might as well try.

Alright someone at Nordic has clearly taken charge. After the Red Faction news i checked around cause i seemed to remember them being the Publisher for Black Mirror and they are. Black Mirror is a fucking abortion on steam. Totally broken. Me and a bunch of other people bitched like hell on the forums to fix their shit.

Just checked the steam page and Nov. 6th they patched it to fix it. Took a long time to do but i feel like it became evident in the months it was broken they need to get their shit together and they did.

So, on the theory that new Warlock keys unlock all the DLC, I snagged one off modbot (thanks Nzyme32) and tried to activate it, and it says my account already has the game (I have the game and a couple of the DLC, but not all of them). So maybe it would work for people who don't already have the game, but it doesn't work to fill in the DLC gaps.

I'll give Nordic a lot of credit, since they basically became THQv2, they actually seem to be taking being a mid-tier publisher pretty seriously. They're hardly perfect, but they seem to be putting the effort in.

Murdered Soul Suspect is a pretty easy 100% (it's pretty much all story and all collectibles; few, if any, are missable.)

Some are unfortunately missable as I found out the hard way. There's one location you can't get back to again to collect them right before the end since it triggers the endgame

So I just found out that if you're idling using Idle Master/SAM and someone starts watching your broadcast, even though they can't see the game (since it's not actually running), they can hear any and all sounds from Windows. My friend just connected and was able to hear the music I was listening to, unbeknownst to me.

Yeah, I'm listening to my friend play MP3s on his computer right now. A little funny but pretty disturbing too.

I was checking a guide because I remember someone in here pointed out that a few were missable in that location -- and I was able to go back after I exited. But I was still cleaning up stuff out in the town at that point and wasn't looking to head to the end game yet... I remember thinking it was weird because I found a way back in after everyone had been saying the stuff in there was missable.

Can anyone clarify what you actually get with that company of heroes game from the sega Bundle. It says you don't need the base game and it's mp only. So what exactly can you do with it? Can I play online against other people but only in the maps and faction that comes with this?

Saw CueZero post a dozen screenshots of it. I wasn't sure if I was down for it, but my lord is it gorgeous.

Maybe I'll pick it up after I grab Ultraworld. Spending is tight.

Apparently it's in the current Humble Mobile Bundle for $8... I just don't know if it will give you a Steam key:

https://www.humblebundle.com/mobile

There's not a lot of games in that which are also on Steam, but when they added Paper Monsters Recut to the bundle, it has the Steam Key logo...
Someone wanna be a guinea pig and see if $8 gets you The Deer God + Shadow Blade + Paper Monsters Recut?

The bundles that give you both are called "PC and Android" bundles, not Mobile bundles.
Click to expand...

And yet a bonus in the Mobile only bundle gives both...
I don't know that it's likely that the other games that are now on steam have had keys added, but that fact the bonus game is both gives me both.
I'll give $8 to charity right now for The Deer God and a copy of Shadowblade.
