"technical reasons"
Click to expand...

I think the reason is this one: people who bought Darksiders 1, Darksiders 2 and its season pass (and eventually other DLCs as well) are:

-fans of the franchise
-completists who collect all pieces of DLC (even weapons/soundtracks)

Those people will probably buy the Definitive Edition again, for one reason or another (according to Nordic, of course).

People who bought the franchise pack are probably people not really interested in the franchise, they saw a good deal, the game looked interesting, they bought it, so they probably won't spend other money on Definitive.

So again make money on "loyal" fans.

Wait... I don't remember that you couldn't continue after the end of the main quest. I fairly sure you could but maybe I used a mod.. I'm seriously fuzzy on all that and i don't know why.

SPOILER! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED NEW VEGAS
The way I remember it: You have the battle at the dam, you beat everyone with your Yes Man army, then you go back to the Vegas tower, Yes Man says he found a new program and he wouldn't be so obedient any more, roll credits, then you are back in the game and can play any remaining quest.

Anyways, Old World Blues is the best part of Fallout New Vegas so you might feel a bit let down by the rest of the game.

I found this answer on the Steam forums

"The game doesn't continue, however if you speak to
Mr House / Yes Man / Ceaser
you will get a confirmation dialog box telling you, you cannot return. Should you choose to continue to the final quest however a SYSTEM save is created prior to your selection, so you can effectively go back and do other things, including DLC.

Long story short.
Go do the final quest, then load a save marked as SYS when you want to play your DLC"

I guess I'll just finish all the DLC and then take the explorer pack to reveal places I haven't found yet on the map, because I have did a ton of quests and discovered most of the map, so it won't be too big a deal

Old World Blues is awesome! The dialogue is so great

A was hoping to get to play the deathinitive edition of darksiders 2 since the original version was way too buggy to play

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.

Even if that wasn't their intention, it's certainly how it's coming off. But that's okay, like I said in the Steam forum I'll simply choose to vote with my wallet.

You know it's even more BS since technically they can just offer to those who own the Season Pass. Since you have to own the game to have that.
Click to expand...

That would've been good. It still misses those who bought SP content separately.

Worst thing is that some who bought exact same content get, while some do not, because they bought it from Amazon or separately. This is good only for those who bought it late from super discount.

so , there is a physical copy for the mmo game "Areeb world" being sold in some major retailer in my country

the ministry of education and one university in my country made big celebration for the release of this game

but it's mmo , so i really don't care much

it's priced $54


======================


in other news

it's the US prices after all , i was hoping we get the RU prices
because there is not many arab people paying for steam games , so this will encourage them to buy more

but maybe the games will be cheaper ? i really hope so

This just means that your existing wallet balance will be converted. The price of games in your region will be set by the publishers and will likely be changed for most things.

Anyone else noticed that some unused humble keys have been revealed automatically? Seems to mostly be keys from the gift link bundles. Already found a few bundles that had this happen with some of their games (Warner bundle, HB11).

Click to expand...

Improved and reworked level, character and environment graphics.
Running in native 1080p resolution.
Reworked and tuned game balancing and loot distribution

You can basically see it as an enhanced edition on PC.

Eh, I'm okay with the -80% discount for Super Darksiders 2.
I think the developers deserve to be compensated for their work.

Well in LORD's case living in a region that typically wouldn't be able to afford US prices, most games will probably end up being much cheaper when priced specifically for his region.

The complaint is more tied to that the tiers are all kinds of off.
So for example if I bought Darksiders 2 and the Season Pass day 1 for example (Lets say already owning Darksiders 1) and then decided to buy the soundtrack later.

I get 80% off, while someone who went and bought the franchise pack at 10 dollars on steam last holiday sale gets the game for free.

yeah that'd be a smart thing to do

i dunno in which order you've been doing the dlc, but yeah, owb is a really high point in many ways. most ppl don't like lonesome road but i actually enjoyed it quite a lot. each dlc was unique and interesting in its own way.

dead money is my favorite because the mca characters are really well done, but owb is hilarious and lr is a cool epilogue to the whole dlc "season". honest hearts is the one that i felt was a bit of a letdown, because the burned man is such a mythical figure in the game prior to that and then you get really little time to talk to him or see him in action. it's still good dlc but it's the one i liked the least

but anyways, all of new vegas is super awesome, definitely on my shortlist of favorites of all time

It's unfortunate for the collectors, but for my personally situation seems like a good deal.

I've never played Darksiders II, but I own a copy with no season pass. 80% off seems like with good deal with the upgraded effects and DLC content included. Game always looked like something I would be interested in.

That's the main thing, just seems really off to go "This is for the fans" and the biggest ones aren't going to get the best deal.

The 80% discount isn't bad itself.

The problem I have, and that a lot of people are being vocal about, is that some people are getting it free because they "own" a specific version of the game on Steam, but others who own the same content (save maybe a soundtrack), have to pay for it. I'd say it's a dick move and a good way to alienate your customer base; no better way to piss off your customers then by telling them they lose out on a technically, thanks but pay us for the game.

I'll probably bitterly pay my $6 before the discount ends if nothing changes because I liked both games and would like to see more from the franchise... but I can certainly understand why other people in my position will just up and say "screw you, I'm not giving you money when you're rewarding late buyers instead of early adopters for their "loyalty"."

I for one own the franchise pack, so im fairly happy with what i get, but its really not a cool move from Nordic, since hardcore fans most likely bought all the stuff individually as they released and therefore also paid more money in the process than all other people.

If there is someone who desevers a "Fan-Reward" its them. Not Scrooges like me who bought it in a sale for 13 Bucks.

To future reinforce why people are mad for those not picking up on it, this sums it up.

Plus, I got the game, just the base game for a few bucks on a sale and I am also entitled to the 80%. It's unfair for those who invested in the DLC and the game very early.

I'm thinking about playing Fallout 1 with the release of Fallout 4.

I've actually never played the game since I was a little young when it was initially released.

Thinking of buying Black Ops 3 at Funstock just to get the Nuketown map, but that would be ridiculous now that I already pre-ordered at GMG. I'll just be bummed out, if I don't get to play on Nuketown.

It's a fine game, if you like the genres it fits into.

But the more "fair" solution would be to do as many other "upgraded" versions have done before them: offer tiered discounts based on how much you actually own.

Cancel GMG preorder, place Funstock order.
Buy Nuketown when it's inevitably available post launch.
Buy both and raffle the GMG code to SteamGAF.

You have a bunch of options.

OMG Ubisoft sales are down for the first half of the fiscal year. They are done! Oh wait what the hell Ubisoft released in first half of the fiscal year? xD

BTW i played some Laser Tag today and graphics was amazing. They used smoke to hide some bad corners but all in all good level design and good graphics. 9/10 would play again (i still prefer paintball it is more realistic game). xD
