Is there a place to get Nier cheap or are people just being way too generous today? Don't really want to buy more games but if it's cheap....

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nier

Although there was a similar Horizon one aswell.

and even Zelda reviews had those nuggets

what the hell is up with people not liking games being liked

 

[uncredited male]

No one is buying my shitty cards. I thought there were whales to take care of this.

I picked up Total War: Warhammer from the Humble Bundle last month and I was wondering if there is a guide people would recommend reading or watching to get acquainted with the game mechanics? I've never played a Total War game or any games like them before, the genre is completely new to me.

 

[EdmondD]

I missed out on some sweet tittles. That sucks. That's what I get for playing games.

 

[Rhaknar]

People are free to like or dislike whatever they want. But maybe, just maybe, when there is a "this shit is amazing y'all" consensus, that "lol no its trash" review might be a little click bait-y.

Reviews arent just an opinion piece, the games have to be judged for the game part aswell. And there is no planet in the universe where a game like Horizon for example, even if you dont like the story, or even if you dont like third person action, is a 5, as the game is extemely well done in every aspect of the game part. The fact that you dont like what its doing doesnt change that. Im just using Horizon as an example because I played it.

Or reviewing Nier with only finishing Route A, which is basically half the game if not less, and then say its incomplete. Well yeah, it literally is incomplete because you didnt complete it.

I dont like racing games for example, but I can look at one, see its features, graphics, etc, and recognize "that looks like a good racing game, its not for me because I dont like the genre, but it seems well made"

 

[uncredited male]

All tittles look the same to me TBQH.

170 hours in Marvel Heroes, you're a nerd iosefe.

I get the sentiment, but most of the time when it's a game I'm not even going to get because it doesn't interest me, I wouldn't really go in the review discussion or participate in it since I wouldn't have any reference or such. Like as much as people hail on Rocket League, it's not my type of game so I just avoid discussions with it.

Im specifically talking about the random ass 5/10 reviews that always pop up for every popular game from some random ass site.

I have no energy to play games anymore...

 

[Sarcasm]

Is the newest Nvidia driver update okay to use?

 

[uncredited male]

A bunch of the Idea Factory games are on sale for under $10 on Amazon. Mostly Nep shit.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Is the newest Nvidia driver update okay to use?

I tried it it is fine and updates Geforce Experince too. Now the Geforce task bar icon lets you directly enable or disable update notifications without the need to open GeFroce Experience.

The state of the Grand Campaign has changed with every patch, so I dunno how relevant any video tutorials are. Even with minimal knowledge, I'd recommend just jumping in as Empire or Dwarves--good introductory factions--and playing with the intro tutorial on. A low difficulty is recommended but not necessary--you probably won't win your first campaign and that's OK.

If you need any help while playing, there's some people at the Total Warhammer OT that'll gladly help ya out or provide tips.

 

[EdmondD]

I think gaf is responsible for like 50% of NieR Automata sales. Gaf has saved Platinum.

 

[zkylon]

anyone going into a review with expectations is already missing the point imo

 

[Ascheroth]

IT WAS TITTLE GUYS. IT'S WHAT THE DOT OF AN I IS CALLED

I didn't even know the dot of an i had a special name, you always learn something new.
In german it's literally just "i-Punkt" (dot of i).

Gwent Beta -- MB-0793736F08D37327 - Taken by Mister_Bubbles

 

[Sarcasm]

So I just got a voucher code I can supposedly use for some games like NieR. I already purchased it, WTF! I want an extra 5% off...

 

[zkylon]

are those voucher codes available somewhere?

would like an extra 5% on nier

 

[Ascheroth]

So I just got a voucher code I can supposedly use for some games like NieR. I already purchased it, WTF! I want an extra 5% off...

That happened to me when I preordered Dragons Dogma from GMG.
They sent a 5% voucher long after I'd already bought it :/
Lesson learned: Don't preorder from GMG until you get an extra voucher.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Oh man, Hollow Knight keeps throwing crazy shit at me, there's so much in this game.

The new patch fixes the stuttering almost completely. I may have noticed one or two in the last couple hours, and those might have just been hits.

 

[Monooboe]

How long has that Chrono GG coin thing been going? Seems some have already redeemed games.

 

[Rhaknar]

Dont you dare leave that game before you delve into the cryptic dark souls type shit.

Get a graveyard shift like me. Sleep deprivation is awesome, I very much recomend it.

 

[Ascheroth]

Don't think so.

 

[Atraveller]

Take a rest, do something else.

 

[Sarcasm]

Don't think so.

Could I cancel my preorder? If so how long does it take to get to PP.

No idea, sorry.
Maybe someone else knows for sure.

 

[T-Rex.]

On their site it says you can get a refund as long as they haven't disclosed the key to you/it's not within 48 hours of release.

 

[NingenJanai]

Take a rest, do something else.

No energy to do anything to be honest, need to force myself to do anything at all, depression sucks.

The witness is cool, but holy shit at those invisible lines puzzles >_<

 

[Sarcasm]

Okay since no key I can refund, but how long does that take?

 

[Dragon1893]

I actually mentioned a couple of days ago that gmg would probably send out vouchers for Nier. It's always best to wait.

Now that the Nier giveaway train has definitely stopped, it is time to get hyped for other upcoming games, with my preferences going to:

March 28: "a few bucks"

​

March 29: 20&#8364;

​

April 11: 40&#8364;

​

April 12:

​

May 26: 35&#8364;

​

Also, I hope we get a store page for Miegakure soon enough:

Edit: Hmmm... Last post of the page for 50-post-per-page users.

 

[JaseC]

Okay since no key I can refund, but how long does that take?

No more than day or so for GMG to action the request and then however long it takes for PayPal/your bank/etc. to process the refund. Alternatively, since you'll just be repurchasing the game, anyway, you could try asking for your GMG account to be credited the difference and put that money towards something else later.
