I think you can't, I read the currency is stored online to avoid people cheating.

Hey man if you found a pre-order that is 45% cheaper than most sites won't you be dropping the dough on it?

Remembered I bought some keys for Vermintide. Started it up and did the first map as the elf. The angry, arrogant, elf with the Scottish accent.
She is my favorite.

Weirdly, the thing I'm most interested in re: Wardor is what Talion skins/alternative models will be available.
I just don't want to play as Talion ever again. Calling him Captain Cardboard would be an insult to the original, for even blandness is too interesting a trait for Talion.
I was wondering how they'd handle that stuff... it'd make sense.
WB wants to get paid--can't have people circumventing their monetisation scheme.

Not bad, I wish I was in a similar spot (my ASRock 3.0 ports stopped working, but my 3570k is still holding out so I haven't bothered to upgrade yet).
2018 will probs be my upgrade year after I get back on my feet and situated here.

I would treat the loot boxes in Wardor like I treated the Riddler trophies in Knight. Watch the vid of some other poor bastard's work.
i dislike lootboxes cos they're asking you to gamble away your money and videogames have a lot of control to make it as tempting as possible
to me games shouldn't be casinos

Oh nice, I have to check it out, really do like his videos!
Yeah but you don't have to pay for the Riddler trophies in Arkham Knight, do you?
One part of me is sad. We finally had a good 'LotR' series going - was hoping to get the next part.
The other part wants this game to fail badly. Like an epic failure.
Realistically, I expect it to do decent - it's a popular setting, with a pretty decent fan-base. Most importantly, lots of people have money to spend.

Unless they are casinos.

Fanart is, the gameplay not so much.I tried getting back into it after I left it for dota but I just can't. Also whoever ok-ed the Xayah VA should be fired.

Nice catch! I'm so glad that we are getting a follow-up to Quake 1. Quake 2/4's campaigns were so mediocre, but Q1 was a Doom 1-tier classic.
No, they were just puzzles around the game world to solve. Just like all the other Arkham games. I enjoyed the puzzle aspect of the Riddler trophies in all 4 games.
you don't to pay for it in Shadow of War either.

While the Riddler trophies in Arkham mostly involved puzzles and challenges, reading the reviews the Fortress stuff seems more like a drag though.
Nope.

It's a linear story, there's no way to affect the ending.
But the game does try to trick you into thinking there's multiple endings halfway through the last chapter.

Danganronpa 1 has a non-canonical game-over scenario for one trial, but I don't know about 2 and 3.

Thanks y'all. So it is a more stressfree experience?
Well, i wouldn't call a killing game stressfree, but there's nothing you have to worry about as a player.

Only until you get stumped on one of the mini-games.
Baron von Loathsome

More or less. You have to complete the minigames, but the difficulties are adjustable, and the only penalty for failing a minigame is getting a worse grade when you finish the trial.
The only time-limited aspect is that by the game's nature, some characters' free time events may become temporarily or permanently inaccessible in the main story, but there's a bonus post-game mode that gives you free reign to try and see as many as you can.

Are the mini games at least fun and playable with a Steam Controller? Only thing I dislike so far about it is me not being able to adjust the right trackpad to my liking on my Macbook in the corridor walking.

I don't think any of them use the right analog stick on a normal controller, and I played through the other two games with the Steam controller with no problem, so you should be good.
I can't tell you about the steam controller specifically, but they're perfectly fine playable with gamepad in general. It's a handheld game afterall.
Hangmans Gambit being fun is a very controversial to say the least.

Literally nothing is a bigger drag than Riddler Trophies. They are the absolute worst and probably the worst thing about the Arkham series as a whole.

Steam Controller is perfectly fine, IMO.
I played through both 1 and 2 entirely using my SC and I am playing 3 using a mix of mouse/keyboard and SC, now mainly SC. In fact, for 3 I would recommend sticking with the SC, since there seems to be some odd keyboard bugs in that game (A and S are swapped in one mini-game).

The gameplay loop is really not that stressful. It's a lot like putting on a TV show.

They were at least decently manageable in Asylum. After that though yeah, they went WAY too overboard with them.
I haven't really played the game myself, but I love sitting through the duel competitions that are streamed via the official Twitch channel, and when I watched the South American Dreamhack Winter qualifiers earlier, I noticed there were things flying around the outside of the map. I thought to myself, "Hmm, I'm pretty sure they weren't there before", which one of the commentators confirmed some time later, and instantly recognised them upon getting a closer look.
They could just be there as a visual flourish, of course, but considering the map in question is a recreation of a Quake 3 map and it's been roughly 16 months since Bethesda commemorated 20 years of Quake by releasing a Machine Games-developed Quake expansion, which it presumably greenlit, I'm going with their addition being another wink and a nudge.
I knew that mentioning you by name would get me an answer.
But alas, I have no idea what region this key is.I knew that mentioning you by name would get me an answer.
Most likely NA or EU.

Real talk is quake champions fun? I kinda want it from humble but idk if it is worth the price if the full one isn't much more expensive. What are the upgrade options?
I'll try to make myself start it today then.
Wait, what's weeabish gameplay?

Installed the Metro skin for Steam.
It's mostly nice, but there's some minor things that bug me. Default is definitely not the way to go for one: that purple accent is just too much. Had to make the accent a more pleasing blue (orange was alright, but too halloween-invoking after a minute). Green might be nice though ala Spotify's theme.
Also, I dislike that you can't see the latest DLC's cover image for a given game when you're in detail view (under the DLC section). Losing that visual cue is kind of annoying, but maybe not the worst thing?
I'll explore some more later.

Dear lord...
The final chapter of Danganronpa V3 may be the most single crazy and meta thing I've ever seen any game pull off O_O

Calling it puzzles is quite the stretch for most of them. They're just a unfun drag.
At least the grind (that we don't even know how grindy it actually is yet) in War at least uses the main gameplay loop.
