What about Prey though?

Well retail games are 60$ of which publisher takes something around 30 from what I remember. So since digital games were supposed to push savings on consumer then 50% off is what those games should have costed in first place - everything after that is discount.

It does, doesn't it? I mean, not in the sense that the controls would be mapped like that, if you made the game with the intention of supporting controllers from the beginning, but as far as I remember you can do everything with a controller. It's a little cumbersome with having to bring a cursor up with... Was it start button or something like that?

Nabs said:
It has controller support. It's just best to improve it a bit by using Steam's controller support and putting the mouse on the right stick (and left click on the right trigger). It's really solid.
Click to expand...

Yeah, from what I've read inventory management is gonna be cumbersome with a controller.

That's mainly what holding me back from purchasing the game.

Inventory management is a breeze once you use Steam's input solution. I put it in more than 30 hours (multiple characters) with my DS4 and it's been great.

It is cumbersome, because you have to hold a button in to make a cursor appear (start I think) when sorting inventory and selecting some things, but it is absolutely manageable. I wouldn't skip it because of that. ymmv.

Does all the DLC and Season Pass come with the Premium edition of Batman: Arkham Knight? Or will I have to buy the Arkham Knight bundle and then the Season Pass separately?

Anyone knows about a good PC release calendar for the rest of the year? I have no overview other than I know I'll get Evil Within 2, Wolfy Colossus, Dishonored, Cuphead and Tacoma.

Hitman. Doom is crazy overrated. If you played the demo, it's the same thing over and over and over Shoot until the enemy glows and then melee kill. That is the entire game. I can't believe how crazy people went over it when it came out.. It's mediocre at best, I'd say it's worth about 20 bucks. One of the only games in years that I completely regret finishing and not stopping and refunding.

Have to disagree here. Yes, that is the gameplay loop but it's a brilliant one. Movement, enemy design, weapons it all comes together in a superb shooter that rightfully earned its praise.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for 2 player games? My buddy bought me the Metro Redux bundle and I want to return the favour by buying him a game that we can play through together.

I think I've decided I'm not going to get anything in this sale. I've got too much to play and no time to play it as is. I might pick some stuff up during Humble's Summer Sale later in the season though.

When you out doom like that then hitman can be brought down same.

I hope you dont buy a racing game after all its just accelerating and drifting round corners.

Is Livestreamer the only way to watch Twitch VODs without Flash?

Tried changing the browser user agent to mobile since I'd read the mobile version provides it but it didn't load.

Thanks. Thing is, I'm only looking to view them casually/at points rather than the entire thing since they can be rather long.

Edit: I didn't notice in the description that timecode selection of VOD downloads is a feature. Nice!

Paradox announced that they will revert back their prices but only after the sale has ended which really makes it even more a scam to buy their games right now.
Click to expand...

This is what they said. Unknown if they will refund or not though.

In regards to the price changes you are absolutely right. You deserve more transparency and better communication from Paradox when it comes to changing of our prices and pricing policy. Therefore I have decided to roll back all price changes made; any price changes will have to be for future products well communicated in advance. I just came off the phone with Steam and they say we can't do the roll-back before the Summer Sale is over (otherwise it would mean we have to take all Paradox products off the summer sale) but it will be done right after. For anyone who bought any of the games during this time (including during the summer sale) we will try to refund (if possible in the Steam platform) or reimburse with games of a value exceeding the difference. If none of this is possible (I do not in detail know the limits to the Steam platform) we will internally calculate the difference in revenue before and after the price change, double the value, and donate the money to the UNHCR.

Updating to a bigger ssd, what should I do with my old one?
I guess I could make it a game only drive or something.

Gonna have to think about NMS a bit longer before I go ahead and buy this batch. I told myself I would get it when it was under $20, but this is pretty damn close.

Man, I still can't get over the price premium on No Man's Sky. Shocks me every time I see it.
DeliciousDoc said:

The charity thing seems the most likely to me. I dunno that Steam is flexible enough for the other options. (To be clear, this is said with a complete layman's understanding of Steam's capabilities.)


The whole Paradox disaster really couldn't have turned out worse for them. They get hit with backlash for the initial price increase, which was meant to cushion the blow of the backlash when they increase prices down the line. Now, instead, the prices will be a permanent reminder of what happened, with a clear divide between pre-disaster and post-disaster content pricing. One of the clearest examples of rolling double 1's I can think of.

And as an aside, I'd be positive on Paradox buying Triumph were it not for this whole thing. But instead, it just bums me out.

If you're looking to get one more game and you're not sure what to get - get PLANET COASTER.

My quick comments / cross post from the OT -

I'm so blown away by this game. More people should be playing this. It's so fun. It's really easy to start building your park and mostly everything is intuitive, like there's no tutorial but I figured everything out anyway.

The graphics are out of this world and there's so much personality everywhere, the only disappointing thing to me is that it's crippling my GTX 1070 :(, I'm just getting 50-60fps (my monitor is 1440p) in the first park on a rollercoaster on high settings. Would love to get the FPS higher on my high refresh (144hz) monitor.

This is the first park you play in - a Pirate themed park
