The NA PC version of DS3 has been out n about for a while now. Nobody has reported any severe issues like GB is doing. And GB guys admitted it seems to be only them via their podcast. Several people on twitch have been playing and streaming that shit for days now. There is a bunch playing right now. The performance on pc seems to be actually very good and even GB guys said it runs fine. Those crashing issues are probably on their end.

Wait..it's out already? Like a physical copy or digital somewhere?

Thanks fam.

Are the books long or short? My free time is quite limited right now so hopefully they aren't George R.R. Martin length or anything.

The first two books are collections of short stories (but with interweaving overall narrative and introducing key characters), while the rest are a saga series of novels. They are are all somewhere between 109 - 125k words, so not too long I'd say (game of thrones are like 300-400k).

Played a little bit of Fake Colours.
It's kind of ugly and a bit boring cube puzzler thing. Menu's look like babby's first Unity game.
Played like maybe 6 levels (out of like 30 I think) and that was enough to see what it does and how it does it.
Didn't care for it to be honest.

It's only 0.99€ so I guess there's that.

For you.
We'll see, but treating day-one fans like dirt when numerous other PC titles retrofitted DX upgrades in with patches just left a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to Namco and From.

Unless PS5 and XB2 get released next year, i'm going to go ahead and say that there won't be a reworked version, so you don't need to worry about that.

They're about medium length, but they read super quickly because he has a short, terse writing style.

The first two books are collections of short stories (but with interweaving overall narrative and introducing key characters), while the rest are a saga series of novels. They are are all somewhere between 109 - 125k words, so not too long I'd say (game of thrones are like 300-400k).

Cool, thanks. I could use a good easy fantasy read. I'll check them out.

Pre-price hike Canadian price?

The price has reverted back to $94 CAD for the standard version and that was never $54 USD. The Russian version seems to be $57 CAD, maybe it isn't region locked?

And man I would love to get it that cheap but I'm really worried about it not be playable on my shitty graphics card that I don't want to risk getting saddled with a non-refundable copy.
 
Also, while I'm in this thread I should remind everyone who plays the best MOBA on Steam:

You can bet it is region locked (everything is, nowadays)

I finally finished Trails in the Sky SC. That final dungeon is just huge, and it took me way longer than I expected. But then the same can be said for each chapter - it is a huge ass game. I am in love with most of the characters though, so I enjoyed my second time in Liberl.

Now the long wait for Trails 3rd begins. I could play Trails of Cold Steel on my Vita but the first hour or so reinforced my dislike for playing RPG on handheld platforms.

The reversions for the most part were not total reversions, they just cut back a little bit on the increases. I think it was a little more cheaper than it is now. Couple it with the 5% discount and TF2/CSGO keys economy into account, and I'd guess that selling it for 56$ before would be doable. I need to research the numbers though.

Saw this release in the new releases list and went to check the store page and noticed the lack of English. Saw the announcement about it and gave it a read:
You might have noticed that the store page says that the only language in which this game is available is Brazilian Portuguese. Unfortunately, you read that right. No, this is not a database error, it is the naked truth. There is no English version currently available.

We do want to release an English version eventually, but right now, we can't. It would take a great amount of time and money to make it happen, because the whole game is dynamically sung-through like a musical, and we'd need native singers and lyricists with a good sense of comedic timing and all that jazz.

Therefore, we chose to make the Portuguese version available ASAP for the thousands of Brazilians that supported our local crowdfunding campaign and/or pre-ordered the game at Nuuvem (http://www.nuuvem.com.br/).

We are currently speaking to Valve and we plan to put a region lock on this game so that people who don't speak Portuguese won't buy this game by accident.

We are deeply sorry for all the confusion this might have caused, and we hope we'll be able to give this game the top-notch English localization we believe it deserves.

I think the bolded is a mistake.

I gotta think about a game I'm looking forward to. Then again, I haven't been keeping tabs on PC games for a while now.

Only 'big' thing on my radar right now is Planet Coaster.

563 playing it, that's a lot for a portuguese only game.
I reckon I could play through it, it looks like Wonder Boy style ARPG.

The standard version of Dark Souls III on steam has always been $66.49 CDN (everytime I've checked my steam)

The deluxe edition is $94 CDN, never checked if it was ever lower at any point.

What's the lowest Skyrim: Legendary Edition usually goes? I figure grabbing it on sale is probably the cheapest way to get the expansions, no?

$10 isn't bad. I'll snap it up then, I guess.

Amazon has sold the Dragonborn and Dawnguard dlc at $2.50 each before and Hearthfire at $1.24. Whether or not it happens again is hard to say but it has been cheaper than $10 before for the dlc separately.

Stick of Truth for $7.49 seems like a good deal but could it go lower? Part of me thinks its been this low before.

South Park is in the Humbly Monthly. For $12 (or $10.80 with coupon), you can get South Park, This War of Mine, and 4 other games. Unless you're not interested in the other games, that's better value.

it could go for $5 but Ubi has been really hesitant about selling their AAA releases at $5 lately.

Plus, you could do a lot worse than South Park for $7 though i found that the game got a bit tedious halfway through it myself

he could also sell whatever other keys he gets after the rest of the bundle is revealed

There are keys for this game floating around out in the wild cheaper than that right now. There will probably be even more in about a week or so when the current monthly ends and people on the fence rush to pick it up at the last minute.

Hi guys. Coupon did not go through. Message said, "This coupon code has been disabled. Please contact support."

Thanks either way, Lomax! This is the first "high-stakes" ModBot giveaway I've ever won, so it was a thrill just to see my name pulled. :)

Thanks again.

Also a good option if I go the Humble Monthly route.

If it's okay to ask (don't know if it's against the rules - if it is, no need to say anything), where in the wild would you recommend?

I've only had a gaming PC for a few months so I'm still trying to find the best ways to save a buck on a lot of the games I missed out on.

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.
