Support NeoGAF

[KainXVIII]

GameStop has had it for $15 a few times last year. Earlier Amazon had priced glitch for $15. Most recently would be from Square Enix's own shop. Where the original discount was 50% off. But if you have bought their latest surprise bundle you got a 50% off coupon for the season pass, which could be applied on the already 50% off price I got the season pass that way

Well, i can wait. Still not finished Blood Money (my bad!) and Absolution.

So GMG/CDKeys still didn't start sending NieR keys??

 

[Vazra]

Happy Birthday everyone with Birthdays today. I suck at keeping up with more than 1 birthday boy/girl

GMG claims it'll be receiving its keys directly from Squeenix, but CD Keys has to pry its keys from DVD installations.

 

[bbd23]

no pre-load
probably wont release at midnight

 

[Teggy]

Incidentally, my steam name is teggygah, not teggy if anyone wants to add.

So...thank goodness for EA Access. Yikes.

After entering that dark mode the game just stayed that way. That was my cue to wait for a patch and reviews.

 

[Accoun]

Oh, and happy birthday Teggy and Grief.

"has to wait for the DVDs to fall off a truck"

Yeah, I'd put money on Squeenix unlocking the game coincident with the store update.

It's funny seeing old posts when I scrounge around the internets like

"Don't bother with Warband, Bannerlord will be out soon"
"Just wait for Bannerlord"
"Warband will be outdated soon"

...Posted in the year 2013.

Don't know that Atelier Firis has these problems

It's perfectly playable, but 1h in and I just took the free pre-order DLC and refunded it. Don't wanna reward them with 50 bucks for that. Nights of Azure and Sophie had much better price for the effort that went in.

So you get to keep the free DLC rights after refunding the full game? I've been on the fence because I like to support niche releases that I would like to see more of but also don't want to reward subpar port work at full price. With everything else out right now I think waiting for a sale is the right call.

Happy Bday to T and G

What Steam Controller needs is low battery warning, just died to Hollow Knight boss because it just died.

Spoiler

what's worse I didn't even have another set charged, but that's on me, I guess...

There's one in BPM and I'm pretty sure the Steam button pulses when the battery's low

 

[Rizzi]

Yeah, Styx is pretty good. The constant monologue is a little grating though.

 

[madjoki]

For me it doesn't blink, expect just before it runs out, so it has no effect.
I don't use BPM, since they made big picture overlay default when controller is connected.

GMG has created a new community section.

https://www.greenmangaming.com/community/

Also for those who often write reviews, you can submit them to GMG and get store credit if they get published.

People are just going to steal reviews from Steam and post them there.

Doesn't load that part when I visited so I can't check but what is the purpose, for publication on some new review section of the site? Or a kind of approval process for user reviews on the games pages.

 

[Corpekata]

It's just their way of trying to get people involved in their new community features. I mentioned the other day about how like now they are constantly tweeting annoying memes and whatnot. They're looking to expand into that area.

It reminds me of Gamersgate like 5 years ago, which had rewards for reviews, or helping people out on their forums and whatnot. Petered out after a year or so.

Nier preload is up!

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Really? GMG are being a bit cheeky then since they've stuck a big Nier banner up with 'Pre-load now' on it.

Edit: lol, never mind.

 

[Coreda]

Nier preload is up!

What's the download size?

 

[Dragon1893]

Nier preload is up!

I hope I have my key when I get home from work.

That part should be under https://www.greenmangaming.com/profile/ (You will have to log in)

 

[Hektor]

What's the download size?

Filesize 45GB
Download Size 27GB

 

[SunDimension24]

What's the download size?

26.6 GB for the preload

It looked like 45.9GB for the full install

Excellent, cheers.

Ah, right. At least I now know I can set mine to private

Wow.

 

[bbd23]

thank you square!

 

[Dinjoralo]

Got my Nier keeeey! Hopefully crappy college internet will have the game downloaded before I'm home.

 

[ezodagrom]

I probably can download the game faster than the decryption process, so I'll just wait for release and download the game then. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[JaseC]

Nice. I was surprised when I downloaded Styx 2 last night: 10.8GB install/10.4GB download. A difference of less than 4%, which I think is the worst I've ever encountered.

 

[PaulSane]

Happy birthday to all of you birthday people!
And since we're doing this again, here is my steam profile link, i'm also looking to expand my meager friend list. I still have long ways to go:

Where ?

 

[Teggy]

Apparently I bought Stasis well over a year ago and it was just sitting in my GMG account. Oops.

 

[Tizoc]

Happy bday mates.

 

[GhostTrick]

Ugh NOW TO WAIT FOR PRELOADING THEN UNLOCKING ;_____;

 

[data]

Ugh NOW TO WAIT FOR PRELOADING THEN UNLOCKING ;_____;

81.5 mb/s? wtf, why are you preloading it, you'd finish downloading it way before it's done decryptying

 

[Ibuki]

81.5 mb/s? wtf, why are you preloading it, you'd finish downloading it way before it's done decryptying

Seriously, that download will take them like 2 minutes...

 

[GhostTrick]

81.5 mb/s? wtf, why are you preloading it, you'd finish downloading it way before it's done decryptying

Well... I always did this way ?
I dont remember how long decryptying takes though.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Seriously, why do people preload if their download speeds are perfectly capable of downloading the game in less time than decryption?

 

[Kaleinc]

Seriously, that download will take them like 2 minutes...

Yeah, 5 minutes to download after release as it shows on the shot. Some fancy 2 hour long decryptions

 

[JaseC]

Well... I always did this way ?
I dont remember how long decryptying takes though.

You'll get different answers. It's dependent on your CPU and HDD, but I'd wager you'd be better off downloading the game instead of decrypting it. I have an overclocked i7 6800K and SSD, and it takes me around 15mins to decrypt a ~50GB game.

 

[Rhaknar]

I dont :3

 

[tuxfool]

81.5 mb/s? wtf, why are you preloading it, you'd finish downloading it way before it's done decryptying

This, I no longer bother preloading as decryption takes way longer than downloading it outright.

 

[morningbus]

Well... I always did this way ?
I dont remember how long decryptying takes though.

You could have just 20% of your download speed and it would still make more sense to just download it after release instead of waiting for decryption.

 

[Teggy]

So, there's a new video of the Tomb Raider 2 fan remake. It's still the same cave as before, but in its final version (I assume there will be no more technical work unless needed now, just content creation).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-pPOEAXFO4

Want this. Expect it will just get shut down tho

 

[Momentary]

Decrypting takes longer than downloading for me, so I don't even bother until the day of.
