PC Gaming ERA | December 2019 - A Monument To All Your Sins

So I played a little of Halo Reach today, are subtitles really only during cutscenes? My squad was talking to some guys at the beginning and nothing was subtitled.
Yes, it is a much talked about issue in addition to the sound mix being off for a lot of people. Presumably something that may see a patch.
Gish isn't a good game really. It's just a curiosity like the Basement Collection. Useful to understand the history of a dev and see him work and evolve, but there's a clear huge bump in quality once he made Meat Boy and onward.
Sekiro will destroy you.
It's easily worth the price (it is the game of the year), but maybe it's just not something you should be interested in (at least to the point of spending money on it)?
One game a time :) We'll should also retroactively update localized names for past games as well, though I don't have a specific timeline.
Pricing - I don't have full visibility or context into local market's pricing strategy since each Capcom subsidiary manages on their own. Sorry...
HDR400 seems pretty nice TBH. I like the wider range of colours even if I lose some of the blacks.
Absolutely! I never had more than 3 or 4 friends in our Linkshell when I played and we only occasionally grouped up for anything. That said, you WILL have to group up with randos to do your dungeons to progress, and if you want to get your daily roulette bonuses. That's a small chunk of your time spent compared to all of the solo quests and other things you can run around and do.
There is a LOT to do that doesn't require groups. You will hit roadblocks from time to time though. This isn't a 1-75 as BST in FFXI type soloable game. However, yes, it was quite fun for my entire run in it. Only recently left just before the Automata content was added.
Other than mandatory story dungeons I played everything solo. I didn't find the actual gameplay outside of newer dungeons fun but I did play it for the story.
Can't you unpause use the discount and then repause before the deadline? Or does it charge you immediately if you unpause yourself after pausing.
I'm hoping for some great discounts on VR games. Gaben please.
I doubt any content will be added retroactively, but your guess is as good as mine. There's no precedence for this at least but I really can't imagine them adding The Witcher 4 or whatever their next game will be down the line.question for you all - i keep eyeing this deal: https://www.gog.com/game/ultimate_red_collection - which seems decent, but not great. i already have Witcher 3 on non-PC platforms, so i don't really need it on GOG other than for completionist's sake, or if it's really that much better with mods. but even then it seems like i can buy just W3 and Cyberpunk for much cheaper. Cyberpunk is listed for about $45 on CDKeys, so if really all i want is Cyberpunk, i think that might be the best move. which brings me to the following questions:
- might the RED collection be something that would get added to potentially in the future? Cyberpunk DLC, future games, etc? curious if GOG has done something like that in the past as a grandfathering sort of thing
- based on previous experience, will Cyberpunk go lower than $45 on CDKeys or elsewhere before release? should i just chill out and be patient?
- if i don't chill out and be patient, will the GOG key on CDKeys get me these bonuses? or do i have to actually preorder by checking out on GOG?
Typically you won't see a better deal than the current one that is on CDkeys -- I'd say it's actually more likely that the price will increase as we get closer to release.
You should get all the GOG bonuses no matter where you buy it since that has always been the case so far, to my knowledge.
Corsair dark core. It had best price/performance ratio for wireless nice at the time and I found a good deal on it.
Mouse is really something hard to assess as it can be quite personal in regards to size. I would always recommend going to a electronics store that has mouse around to just see the size and speed you want and then look for similar ones.
For mouse the most important part (imho) is reliability and comfort. Being able to change DPI settings easily (with some presets for instance) is also a close second.
well, there is a mouse sensor that is generally considered the best so the cheaper models that still use the quality sensor would be good price for performance if the size, shape and weight are to your preference.
Most mice get the sensor from the same manufacturer (Pixart). It's like mechanical keyboards a few years back when you could get some budget keyboards but they still had cherry switches so you knew they would be good, but lacking in features or case quality.
Most gaming mice now use the Pixart 3360 or some customized variant of it. The exception being some wireless mice where battery life is a concern and some brands have their own sensors that are almost as good (maybe even perceptively as good) but much more efficient (like the HERO sensor for Logitech)
Activision just put a game like 2 weeks old in a Humble Monthly.
Though yes, Sekiro is a dev that sells well on PC, in a genre that does, and it's just got a bunch of year end listicle hype, so it'll probably be summer before there's a decent discount.

According to the ingame version number it's 1.0.54730 from December 16.
If you mean solo in the sense that you don't want to spend a lot of time communicating with people or needing friends to play, but are okay playing with random people in matchmaking, then yes. This is how I'm playing it, and it works great.
Most of the group content is done through matchmaking (including all of the mandatory story stuff), requires only minimum communication (if any at all), and the game has systems that incentivize veteran players to revisit older content, so even old dungeons are still pretty easy to get groups for. The biggest exception are the endgame fights, but for the most part those are just harder versions of existing encounters, so you're not missing out on a lot of the story (although there are some exceptions that do have story locked behind them). These do still have an ingame party finder, but they aren't automatically matchmade.
It's not like say Destiny, where even seeing all of the story will require you to join a guild, schedule raids with other people on discord, and constantly communicate in voice chat.
If you mean solo in the sense that you never want to interact with other people, never want to do any party based instances, and just want to play it as a singleplayer game, then not really. The main story pretty frequently requires doing dungeons with a party. The latest expansion lets you do these solo with AI teammates, but up to that point you'll have to do them with other people.
But besides that, the party based stuff is easily the most fun part of the game. The actual solo gameplay like fighting things in the overworld is also pretty basic, really easy, and not all that fun (although sadly you still have to do a ton of that to progress through the story). Dungeons and other instanced party based content is clearly the focus of the game. Although if you're looking at playing it primarily for the story and don't care about the gameplay, that wouldn't matter as much.
Outside of combat, there is a bunch of optional stuff to do solo. Crafting and Gathering are much more involved than in other MMOs, and you can spend a ton of time decorating your house/apartment, dressing up your character, or playing minigames in the Golden Saucer.
Yup, and the audio is woefully inferior to the 360 version of the game
Personally I refuse to play the campaign until they fix it, it just ruins the experience
I bought Sekiro at £32 in the last Steam sale. I'm definitely not expecting it to be less than that today.
Oh dang. I wanted this for a while. Awesome.
You only get charged on the last Friday of the month if your subscription is unpaused:
You can unpause/pause at any time.
Valve making devs lose money in new ways :P
I think this might actually be something that Epic does / did better, with automatic price protection, so good on Steam on taking it.
is that where you go into the forest and tell who's fake and who's real

I am very torn between picking up Sekiro or Disco Elysium. I might crack under the pressure and grab both, arghh.
Finished Life Is Strange: Before The Storm yesterday, and I'm slightly disappointed by it. It lacks a lot of the charms that made LiS great. It's still worth playing though, and that bonus episode sure is bittersweet to play, but I'm overall glad to close that LiS chapter, and I'm ready to open the next one with new characters with LiS2.
