I swear i dont understand why GMG still has the "Other DRM" flag on COD BLOPSYS 3. I would buy it if it just said steam on the damn thing since you get 25% off. Horse crap. Im certainly not buying it full price otherwise. So either 25% off now or 50% off steam sale a year from now.

It's 100% Steamworks.

It's my birthday today, but I'm away from home for some training until April. That didn't stop my wife from dressing everyone up for a birthday party though.



They do not look pleased.

Happy Birthday!

Those are looks of pure
hatred.

Ok, ima take your word for it and go and buy it now. Gee whiz steam threads are expensive hangout spots

Long as you get your money's worth in playing it, your wallet will forgive you every time.

How does CoD's multiplayer presence hold up in comparison to console, anyway? Does it drop off quickly? Never played one on Steam.

I just hope GMG gets Nuk3town, or whatever they are calling it now.

All Call of Duty games are not made equal. Treyarch games maintain some form of a community, but it's nothing compared to console.

I think the BLOPS series is going strong... BLOPS2, being the heaviest played currently?

I mainly play for the bombastic single player anyway. Give me an epic 7 hour experience i wont feel too bad paying 45$ for it.

Weird though they take that 'other drm' seriously cause the game is showing up under a section with no title at all in my account orders area. I basically got, steam, origin, and other, and then COD all alone in an untitled spot. Hopefully they are just glitching out and no issues to be had.

Should've punched the spider and walked off into the sunset/rain.

MGSV: Konami Offline Tax for players who opt out of FOBs

Did we already talk about this fuckery?

I mean...online and offline resources? Konami, please.

It's shits like this that's making it really hard for me to consider this Game of the Year.
awww shit i accidentally ordered a tv show off amazon and I immediately cancelled it and now i got to wait 2-3 days for my money back. wtf? it took you literally a second to take my money though, why is it going to take 2-3 days to give my money back for something that i cancelled in less than a minute?! I don't even understand why 1 click purchase is turned on by default in the video section, you don't even got to click a check box or anything. salty as fuck right now :mad: it was $54.99 btw

Playboy's Penthouse?

Most of the delay for refunds is due to the bank / credit card company in my experience.

Something like this. I remember reading about it in a Reddit thread.

5 Seconds after you complete your transaction: the money leaves your account

5 secs to 2 days after: The bank/credit card company is holding onto the money while they check all the info, make sure its all legit, go through federally mandated safety measures, etc.

2 to 3 days after: The merchant actually receives the money.

Now, just apply that in reverse for refunds. 5 seconds after the transaction, the money has left the merchant's account, then the bank does a day or two of processing, and then, 3 days later, you finally get the money.

It only LOOKS like its done in 5 seconds for payments, and takes 3 days for refunds, because you're only seeing your end of things. Youre not seeing the middle part of the merchant's part.
 
Can't you just force it in the Nvidia control panel like in most games? I have to do this a lot.

Ahh I see. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm trying to change it to have the nvidia card as the default but my settings wont save whenever I close the control panel?

I would have gone through all the porn, one by one, each one explained with a thoughtful analysis and why you purchased it.

Zestiria back up top again. It's got to have over what it saying it has. I don't think we'll get good number until the game is officially released. There's not way it's over Minecraft with only 32,000 copies. Even with the price difference.

Anyone experience DirectX 11 games not scaling lower resolutions to the full monitor size in fullscreen?

Opted to set The Witcher 3 to lower than native res for performance but no matter what Nvidia scaling options are set the game doesn't scale up.

Even changing the desktop resolution to 1080p (on a 1440p monitor) doesn't affect it, the game bypasses it and outputs 1440p with 1080p centered and non-scaled.

From googling around it seems DirectX 11 is to blame but I would have thought more would be posted about the issue if it was widely experienced.

Yeah, I believe the current pre-order numbers are not that low.
I'd say the game will have around 100k owners at launch. The game is getting a lot of hype despite the pitiful marketing BamCo has for this game.

The Steam charts goes by revenue and not actual sales numbers.
