[kagamin]

oh no the secret is revealed

also my memory is starting to slip, i keep forgetting that steam maints are always tuesday

You're just getting old that's all.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

March is the worst because my birthday occurs in it.

 

[fallout]

Huh. After launching Steam, I got an empty news pop-up in Steam's antique army green UI from, like, five years ago. (Others have posted screenshots of it, IIRC.)

Bizarre.

I guess they must still have it stored and it got misreferenced.

Or it's ARG.

 

[pantsattack]

I like my R9 390x. :x

Cheers. 8 gig here. I'm hanging in there for my needs just fine.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I guess they must still have it stored and it got misreferenced.

Or it's ARG.

The twist: I have the news-popup-on-launch checkbox disabled.

 

[KingKong]

Hollow Knight is really something special. It does a much better job of translating Souls concepts back to metroidvania than Salt and Sanctuary

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I like my R9 390x. :x

I got a warranty on my 970 that covers basically everything about the card. I can only hope and pray that it fails in a timely manner so I can get a nice upgrade before the warranty expires. >

EDIT: Well, the 1080TI looks nice. I can look forward to playing 4K60 games in 4 or 5 years when I do a proper GPU upgrade.

 

[Vibranium]

Hm, with the 1080 price drop I may end up picking it up by next Christmas here in Canada. It would be nice to nab one at $550 CAD on sale at some point.

 

[JaseC]

Welp, the 1080ti will be $800. Who's in?!

As nice as it would be to have a 11gb card, think I'll stick with my 1080 for the meantime.

$699. Colour me pleasantly surprised.

 

[SunDimension24]

$699 for a 1080Ti
I know what Im getting with my tax refund.

 

[def sim]

:O

 

[bigzgod]

Man, March already. Time is just flying by...

 

[Anno]

Hollow Knight is really something special. It does a much better job of translating Souls concepts back to metroidvania than Salt and Sanctuary

I think it's the first non-Fromsoft game to really get the atmosphere and world state of a Souls game. Not necessarily bleak, just...melancholy? Like you know that you are exploring the end of a world that has fallen from glory and is in its final moments, soon to be lost to dust and time. And it's an amazing platformer/2D action game to boot. I just can't say enough good things, and I hope SteamGAF can champion the game at the end of the year as one of the best.

 

[Granjinha]

Spike Chunsoft is holding an international press event on March 2nd. Might see some steam announcements from them.

Spoiler

Where is my Danganronpa V3 Steam announcement

we'll definitely see some steam announcements, i would bet on that

 

[MulderYuffie]

A date for Ultra Despair Girls will happen i'm almost sure of it.

Yup. Great to see Spike Chunsoft not only going for their home country but also all nations interested in their work.

We'll probably here more of their Fire Pro Wrestling tease as well.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I wonder what game they will offer with the GTX 1080Ti.

 

[SunDimension24]

I wonder what game they will offer with the GTX 1080Ti.

They will probably just expand the For Honor/Ghost Recon Promo to include 1080Ti since that doesnt end until March 28th.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

They will probably just expand the For Honor/Ghost Recon Promo to include 1080Ti since that doesnt end until March 28th.

So there is an offer for those right now? I see.

 

[Nyteshade517]

So there is an offer for those right now? I see.

yeah...it's been going for a few weeks

but they changed the way you can redeem them now...you have to have the cards the promotion is for (so either a 1070 or 1080) and redeem the code in GeForce Experience

no longer just going to a website and putting in a code

 

[Atraveller]

$699. Colour me pleasantly surprised.

People outside of the US probably won't get that price.

Concur, it's really good. Hoping that performance patch fixes the stuttering, it's hampering my enjoyment quite a bit.

I just got the first mobility upgrade and now I'm racking my mind on where I can go first.

 

[Stall19]

Gonna keep my 980Ti until it can't run games at 1080p60 and then I'll upgrade to the **70. Can't be spending too much on my PC

[Chairmanchuck]

Thanks for the TD game, anonymous.

Anyone seen this:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/486690/

Looks kinda interesting. Chinese though at first.

 

[JaseC]

People outside of the US probably won't get that price.

Yeah, but importing may be an option. I saved over AUD$200 on a 1080 thanks to Amazon.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Oh right Marvel 3 comes out soon. Game sucks, but I guess I'll make a note to pick it up before their license expires just in case. Infinite can't come soon enough.

 

[dex3108]

Dishonored 2 is €28,19 on BundleStars, seems to be an all-time low. Did they fix the performance issues that plagued a lot of people at launch and in the weeks after it?

Well game runs at 1080p/60 with perfect frame times 16.6ms but some people still notice some kind of stuttering. I personally don't have any issues with game.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Not clear what the combat system is, but it looks promising. Hope they can get a good translation--there's been a small handful of games on Steam that look great, but are killed by nonexistant or very poor translations.

 

[pretty done]

Mod out X factor and it might actually be playable.

Not actually good, but playable.

 

[NingenJanai]

Didn't know snake pass was coming out so soon.

 

[Atraveller]

What about warranty?

EVGA offers international warranty, although I myself got sick of waiting and ended up buying an ASUS STRIX. It's not died on me yet! *touch wood*

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

How about 1440p? I was thinking of grabbing it since I have a gsync monitor that'll alleviate stuttering or tearing.

Ah, I think I'm going to quit buying GPUs locally from now on.

March! the month my wallet dies

[NingenJanai]

Finished the house abandon in Stories Untold, great game, but I think I missed some stuff, is it possible to

Spoiler

enter the sister's room or the kitchen cupboard

?

 

[septicore]

Nintendo Switch and a 1080 Ti in the same month gonna make me poor.

Probably wait for the demand of the 1080 Ti to die out before grabbing one.

Then the 1180 will be out by than.

Just do what my friend is doing. Buying the ti out right and ccing the switch. Though he gets 8 months 0 interest on it. Which he will pay it off by then.

I mean don't do that if you are bad at managing your finances I guess lol.

 

[Tizoc]

Decided to get Bad Company 2 and Unravel from the Origin sale.
Will wait for BF1 and Titanfall 2 to both go for under $20 before I grab them.

Also

Crom counts down from 12

 

[GhostTrick]

Going to receive Zelda today... I wish it would work on CEMU :/
The game desperately need good IQ, texture filtering and stable framerate :"(

there's an origin sale? EA should advertise their sales better.

 

[barber]

Seems to be one of the few true exclusives of the direct....

Everything else has either exclusive content or exclusive timing or console exclusive

Yeah the wording made it seem so :/
Well i liked the direct otherwise tons of interesting indies and pushing me to save money to buy it (when i get a job )

Edit: Thanks for the answer though it is bittersweet

 

[Uraizen]

A title and OT picture I like? Blasphemy.

Ah didn't cancel Humble Monthly, please be good! Last month was good in that I didn't have any of the games, so hoping that the trend continues.
