Welp, I uninstalled the preloaded data. Following Steamgaf advices in that case.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

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.

Does 4 stands for side quests ?

Is it like The Simpsons ? Do you have a Saoirse gif for anything ? :")

Sidequests as well as everything else

 

[Nillansan]

Also do not disappoint us with Ni no Kuni II Level-5.

Hopefully Namco Bandai are sensible enough to contract a porting house with a decent enough track record.

I had almost no interest in the game, but this alone actually piqued some interest

 

[Vazra]

Also people play from Route A-E as if they are arcs to the story. Don't drop it like some people who thought nothing happens after Route A.

 

[Dragon1893]

I usually get 3-4 mb/s, I wonder if it's worth preloading.

I hope it's a good port, my PC is starting to show its age. I only have a vanilla PS4 though so it'll definitely be better than that.

Spoiler

Hopefully

 

[JaseC]

Is it like The Simpsons ? Do you have a Saoirse gif for anything ? :")

Haha, I probably would if I kept my "stash" up-to-date. That gif I posted is from TIFF 2012, and I think the most-recent one I made is from Lost River, which hit home video and VOD services in mid-2015.

Edit: Oh, wait, I made a surprised.gif around a year ago, from a talk show interview aired circa the same time.

 

[MUnited83]

The one about finding all the seeds. I didnt wanna know how many seeds to collect. Yea im crazy w/ media blackout

Believe me, you do not want to collect them all. They are not meant to.

Hurray for a 9 hour download instead of 18, whooo.

Kind of the same here lol. I did have interest in the game since I liked the demo but now I actually wanna go buy it (I probably won't).

That LBA code I won was duped...nice when people give away duped games just in order to be qualified for the Pay It Forward rule.
Anyway happy birthday to all GAF born today!

 

[Anno]

Any YouTube videos people would suggest for those that haven't played the original Nier? Either just recapping the original or, better yet, full on lore spectacles if such things are possible (I have no idea how deep that stuff got).

Can't the mods see who submitted the anonymous giveaway?

Since we're doing this, my steam profile is the same as here, if anyone cares.

We can all rejoice in knowing that FIFA gifs will have some competition this year.

Fifa had janky animations too?

Bioshock Remasters come with the original game, right? I don't remember the remasters being received well
Collection is 75% off thinking of finally getting it

Yeah.

Also yeah, and in the case of Bio2, the pre-order DLC (a couple of MP skins).

 

[Ludens]

Can't the mods see who submitted the anonymous giveaway?

Probably yes, but maybe the donator didn't know the code was used...even if I saw in this same thread other cases od duped keys those days if I'm not wrong.
Not a big deal, but I expected Little Big Adventure since I only own 2, lol.

 

[JaseC]

I can put you in touch with the giveaway creator if you'd like to chase it up. It may have been unintentional.

 

[Javier23]

I won an LBA2 key from this anonymous giver recently that was also a dupe.

 

[Ludens]

I can put you in touch with the giveaway creator if you'd like to chase it up. It may have been unintentional.

It was, in fact the anonymous benefactor just contacted me. As I wrote, it's not really a problem, since giving away a bad key can happen (it happened to me too in the past and I gave the winner another key).

Here's hoping Sonic Mania's release date+steam page go up over the next day @o@

Ah. Well, hopefully all's well that ends well.

Edit: The offer stands for you also, Javier23, should you feel it appropriate.
