Some of these Oblivion mods are impressive.

Hmmm, I've never played this but now I'm interested, what mods are they?

Every modder should have been forced to support open cities. Alas.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Huh.

I guess Valve was smart and didn't let devs mine their own games for summer acheevs.

 

[Purkake4]

Umm, can't you get infinite summer cards by buying and refunding games?

 

[JaseC]

Umm, can't you get infinite summer cards by buying and refunding games?

Yeah, but that's something Valve would catch on to if you were to do it in earnest.

 

[Purkake4]

Yeah, but that's something Valve would catch on to if you were to do it in earnest.

Ok, makes sense.

 

[michaelius]

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.

 

[texhnolyze]

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?

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.

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.

 

[Ascheroth]

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.

It has sublime mouse controls though.

 

[sid2vicious]

I had a lot of fun with the Playstation version. No idea if the pc version has any sort of community but it's got a lot of character to it

Finally caved in and bought it, which now puts me at a total of $88.57. I am now officially done with this sale, time to save for the next one!

 

[Nabs]

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

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.

 

[Jintor]

Huh.

I guess Valve was smart and didn't let devs mine their own games for summer acheevs.

LMAO

 

[bede-x]

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

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.

 

[Pachimari]

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?

 

[TsuXna]

It's weekend. Finally can start Dishonored 2 walkthrough.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah.

Unforgiving Trials: The Darkest Crusade -- MB-899F8A96B9D3C998 - Taken by texhnolyze

.

 

[fantomena]

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.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

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.

 

[Sourtreats]

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.

Looking at a few obvious ones would be Borderlands, L4D, Portal 2.

 

[TsuXna]

Speaking of Portal 2, anyone wants to play ? i played it before it was fun, but never finished the game.

 

[Oreoleo]

I threw this together during E3, it's very likely missing a few things I overlooked but should be fairly comprehensive of games shown at the big pressers:

August 29 - XCOM2: War of the Chosen
September 14 - Divinity Original Sin 2
September 19 - Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
September 19 - NBA 2k18
September 28 - Total Warhammer 2
September 29 - Cuphead
September 29 - FIFA
October 03 - Forza Motorsport 7
October 10 - Shadow of War/Mordor
October 13 - The Evil Within 2
October 15 - Dishonored 2 DLC
October 17 - South Park Fractured But Whole
October 24 - Destiny 2 PC
October 27 - Wolfenstein 2
October 27 - Assassin's Creed Origins
November 03 - Call of Duty WW2
November 07 - Crackdown 3
November 10 - Need for Speed: Payback
November 10 - Ni no Kuni 2
November 14 - Lego Marvel Superheroes 2
November 17 - Battlefront 2

 

[Schucky Ducky]

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.

 

[Auraela]

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.

 

[thundr51]

CDkeys has the premium edition for like 6$ if you're willing to go that route

Thanks, picked this up.

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.

Get twitchleecher. You can download vods.

 

[Coreda]

Get twitchleecher. You can download vods.

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!

 

[DeliciousDoc]

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.

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.

 

[Parsnip]

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.

Nah. Removed the contents a week ago and the size's still sitting at 30-40GB today. When DOOM's updated, sure.

He did say initially.

 

[TsuXna]

oh i just realized you want to watch it not using Flash. Go to the VOD>Settings> Advanced > Turn on HTML 5 player. It will disable Flash

 

[mclem]

Hmm, I just got an achievement in Sokobond and wasn't credited with the 'earn an achievement' reward. Is there some delay on it usually?

 

[Dandy Lyin]

Steam Summer Sale Round: 2

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.

 

[LurkerPrime]

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

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

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.

 

[Oreoleo]

XCOM2: War of the Chosen is missing. It's out August 29th.

Noted! Thanks.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Getting close to the end of RE7 - I have been loving it so far, but the ending seems to be far weaker than the first half of the game.

 

[Dangerblade]

I should probably finally pick up Half-Life, Half-Life 2 and Portal seeing as they're so cheap.

 

[Coreda]

oh i just realized you want to watch it not using Flash. Go to the VOD>Settings> Advanced > Turn on HTML 5 player. It will disable Flash

Already enabled for me. Does it work for you with this video for example? I just get an 'Unknown' message.

Livestreams are fine though.

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

And look what you can do - This guy made Moana the Theme Park -
