Okay. i'll PM you both an email address. Paypal your money there and you won't have to worry about buying cods. ;)

Do it, I'll send a request for $40 :V


Also, is there anything to stop us from opening the payment page on humble 5m before it goes live and hitting submit after it does to see the bundle first? :p

It's crazy how I was completely uninterested in BLOPS3 when it was announced yet here I am in November contemplating buying it along with Fallout 4 and Battlefront, 2 of my most anticipated games in a long time.

Its very confusing when people talk about Darksiders and Dark souls on the same page.

I dont have much hope for DS3 tho.

Which one?

I think I will wait on BLOPS3 and hope activision does that $200 mega COD pack thing and includes BLOPS3 along with all of the DLC and jazz.

Or maybe I'll just keep waiting.

Though BLOPS 3 does look really good.
 
not gonna bother with arguing darksiders cos i don't like those games so haven't bothered doing more than a superficial read of the situation, but in dks2 the biggest fans that preordered the game and the season pass got screwed by being offered a really shitty deal

specially on pc where it's not like it's a different disc for a different console or whatever.

edit: i moved on with my life and just didn't buy it, but it was a shitty deal for ppl that gave from their loev

I'm just as big (if not bigger) of a fan of the Souls games as you are.
I preordered DS2 and bought the season pass.
And I had no problem with the discount I was offered to "upgrade" on Steam; but regardless of all of that, whether you were pissed off at the upgrade pricing (which ultimately only affected enemy placement, online populace, and what engine it rendered in as the major content changes were patched in for owners of the DX9 version with the Season Pass/all DLC) or not, at the end of the day it was fair to all customers, offering larger discounts to those who had spent money supporting the original game and DLC (which is the opposite of what Nordic is doing here).

Well, GMG themselves said it wouldn't include Nuketown. Likely because they come from a grey market source that couldnt outright guarantee a key, so GMG just said it wouldn't as to prevent refunds if it didn't.

Fair enough -- I guess I just saw people cancelling and continually mentioning it and combining it with the post lashbot made about how it was only exclusive to physical copies from game and didn't affect digital copies and ended up connecting some dots that didn't go together. My mistake.

Strange that some GMG codes are being given Nuketown and some aren't. That ought to end well.

Nvidia promises Game Ready drivers for a dozen holiday games

Nvidia's new driver, version 358.87 (download link), is out just in time for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops III this week. As well as BlOps 3, it has also added "Game Ready" support for Anno 2205, and the new War Thunder patch with GameWorks.

Nvidia has also said that it will be adding Game Ready driver support "on or before launch day for the top titles this holiday season." The game's included in this are:
Civilization Online
Fallout 4
AssCrud: Syndicate
Monster Hunter Online
Overwatch
Just Cause 3
RollerCoaster Tycoon World
StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
Star Wars: Battlefront
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
War Thunder

Release 358 has added SLI support for ShadowPlay and GameStream in Windows 10, as well as Stereo support for DirectX 12 SLI and 3D Surround. ShadowPlay is Nvidia's screen recording utility, and GameStream is streaming tech that allows you to pipe a PC game to a GameStream-capable box connected to your TV over WiFi.

The new driver has also added a number of bug fixes related to performance drops and crashes for Windows 10, 8, and 7. Known issues on Windows 10 still include stuttering and flickering in the newly released version of Batman: Arkham Knight.

If you're using GeForce Experience and have handed over your email address, then you'll have a chance to win one of the prizes Nvidia is offering this holiday, from games and graphics cards to the Shield Android TV box, part of Nvidia's incentive to join their mailing list.

There's not a whole lot coming out this winter.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
lol so of course my review made it as "most helpful" when the store page updated, so the downvote brigade come out in full force.

On another happy note, got a mail that my Fallout 4 has shipped! I was worried I wouldn't have it on release day, now I will even be able to preload, hell yeah!

The Steam version probably came with some pre-order DLC which, upon detection, causes the "pre-order" achievement to pop?

Its very confusing when people talk about Darksiders and Dark souls on the same page.

Fair point. Not like it's even correct to call Darksiders DS -- damn lazy grammar heathens. ;)

And I don't either. Vigil is dead and Nordic owns the IP. Doomedsiders might be more likely.

If there was any chance, this backlash isn't exactly helping.
Apparently the console versions aren't all that "definitive" either.

Darksiders 3 is dead.
I'm pretty sure most of the franchises that Nordic acquired from THQ are dead at this point.

It's funny, the Darksiders release still hasn't made it into the "popular new releases" page on Steam, so it's clear that basically no one is buying it.

Hahaha. It's definitely a "I never asked for this" moment. I think Nordic just thought maybe it'd be the easiest to remaster and maybe capitalize on after buying the franchise with the new consoles on the market. However, I don't think it's working out as planned. :lol

Hopefully those reviews stay negative.

Meant to link mine for the downvote brigade. ;)

Nice, the latest update fixed the "view fullscreen" screenshot issue I was having on BPM. Before when I tried to manage the screenshots I took they'd show tiny on the top left corner of the screen, but now it's working properly and they fill the screen when I select them.
