I really hate that current "preallocate then download" thing Steam has going, the allocating takes me twice as long as downloading the damn game.

Also I broke the GMG X-COM thing, now I am in a infinite loop of "claim your game, confirm your email, claim your game" loop

What's the "Bonus DLC" that comes with Evil Within? edit: Fighting Chance DLC apparently.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Another Tuesday, another Humble Bundle coming up.

I'm ready for mediocrity.

And Baron, you're missing TEW (I find it better than Mordor right now, anyway).

 

[Shengar]

Does Steam screenshot compress images? Or is it just Wasteland 2 so shitty that it looks like shit when I took a gameplay screenshot?

 

[Sendou]

Does Steam screenshot compress images?

Yeah

 

[JaseC]

From the comment, you can still unlocked it right? So I can still bought a physical copy of Beyond Earth without getting screwed?

Well, in that case the dev didn't actually go ahead with removing the region-lock despite promising to do so, but ACRTAG doesn't affect retail keys*, so as long as you don't buy a copy of CivBE from India, Eastern Europe or Asia, you're fine.

* With the possible exception of multi-pack keys.

Are the Crusader Kings II DLCs region locked?

Nope.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

There's a option for "save uncompressed images".

(Also Wasteland 2 does look so shitty, at least for me. Still love it though)

[MMBosstones86]

I forgot: how the game runs without 4 GB Vram?

to quote Grief.

one point five american gigabytes of vram.

 

[Vazduh]

Speaking of Crusader Kings II, the franchise is 75% off on bundlestars

It's even cheaper down at nuuvem .

 

[lashman]

Virtually all of the Disney subs are region-free despite being less than two weeks old, so not all hope is lost.

Tron 2.0 isn't

 

[Turfster]

Note that the current "main" Humble bundle only lasted for a week, so they might skip a few weeks again.
(They might not, but you never know with main bundles)

 

[Tenrius]

You can't vote for Pillars of Eternity in the "Most Wanted" section of Golden Joystick Awards. What a joke!

 

[kudoboi]

XCOM key. no idea if it has been used since my friend didnt want it

quote to reveal

[Thieve]

Settings -> In-Game. Right side, under Screenshot Folder.

 

[Chariot]

Nope.

Thanks! Gotta ask Liezzy, when he's back for the Charlemagne DLC. It's like 15 Euro in the magical land of germany, but only 6 where the bear lives.

are these walking parts also in ultimate ninja storm revolution?

Don't know. Only own Full Burst 3, since I heard that Revolution barely adds anything.

 

[JaseC]

Tron 2.0 isn't

Hence "virtually all".

I'm liking FFXIII better than Shadow of Mordor and what I have seen so far of Evil Within.

Admittedly, Evil Within doesn't leave the best first impressions. Mediocre PC port at best while leading with its two worst chapters.

Definitely not. I was referring purely to gameplay when I was rating the three, but I am giving Square more leeway here. Not only was the game $10, but the shear ignorance on display is impressive.

Every time I've seen shots of Wasteland 2, even during development, it has always looked extremely blurry to me.

I've been enjoying it so far, already at Chapter 6 and still running the game in 720p (did GeDoSaTo ever get the DOF problem fixed for XIII during the cutscenes? Haven't tried using it since the first day), but FFXIII is absolutely stunning and runs great even at 720p. Really have been enjoying the battle system so far, even if everything still feels incredibly restricted. When is the game supposed to open up and allow me more control of my party and such? It was a bad port since it's so barebones, but I've been enjoying it.

You can control 3 people in some of Chapter 7. 8 goes back to 2 people, but after that you have a full team from then on if I recall correctly.

To be honest, I couldn't see a ton of improvements on my side. Everything is super-duper maxed now and I'm holding at 60fps. Could use some AA though....

It seems like Bulletstorm tends to bug out when you ran to fast(slide) and the NPCs couldn't keep up.

 

[NingenJanai]

I think he means the player model is not reflected.

Yep, it does that but it also usually recovers from such situations

I own a Wii U and soon Bayo 2. Im a proper PC gamer then.

I've encountered it two times, resetting checkpoint didn't work.

Weird, I just usually continued, or tried to continue forward until the NPCs spawned to their correct places.

Ah, that makes sense

Its annoying when games don't reflect the model

Actually I'm living in Asia, but I'm not really sure if the PC games being stocked here actually published for Asia or they just simply import it from US or Europe. This, combined with quite noticeable price difference between physical and digital makes consider to go digital instead. Its a bummer cause I want a physical copy for civ games
