Wait, Arkham Origins comes before Knight? But I have the other 3 games. They did 1,2,4? Really?

Origins was released after Asylum and City, yeah.
Prequels, man.

Is there any way of working out what game a key redeems without actually redeeming it?

Guys, should I play the Arkham series in release order or chronologically?
The technical chronological order is:
Origins-Origins DlC- Batgirl DLC from Knight-Harley DLC from Knight- Asylum-City-City DLC-Knight-the other 3 Knight DLCs

But you should play them in release order. City in particular introduces a bunch of gadgets and combat moves that you later end up re-acquiring in Origins (or their analogues) without going as in-depth about how they work.

About 5 hours into Eastshade. The game is really lovely, and has a lot more meat on its bones than I was expecting. It doesn't run really well, but it has a good low-budget charm that really helps. The game feels low budget, with the character models being janky and the voice acting is weird sometimes (the mic quality is inconsistent), but it all adds up to this dreamlike experience. Really enjoying it, would recommend it highly.

I'm thinking about starting up Pathologic 2 afterwards but I'm a little cautious after hearing how impenetrable it is. I know it's supposed to be a miserable experience but I'm worried that I won't enjoy what is good about it enough to push through. I'm thinking it'll be just unique enough to help me want to get through. I heard that they added difficulty sliders at some point. Would fans of the game consider that ruining the experience or is it a better way to experience it all? Also, as someone who is a coward when it comes to horror games (I quit RE2 because Mr. X was giving me something close to a damn panic attack, lol), will the game bother me a whole lot?

Actually, I've been meaning to play Spec Ops The Line.

It's been sitting in my backlog for years. This is probably the month.

New releases dosent really slow down. I need better time management to play even a small portion of all these new games. Or possibly lose my job .

Glad you're digging Eastshade. It really is a pleasant experience.

For Pathologic 2, I've been seeing a lot of videos being produced of late singing its praises. I've had it Wishlisted for some time but am thinking of digging into it sooner than later. The impression I get is that it's not supposed to be fair and you're supposed to fail some quests. You can't save everyone. I've also heard that dying in the game isn't even the worst thing that can happen. Like that's a more interesting outcome than trying to do a perfect run your first time.

I think I'm gonna do regular difficulty to start and just see how it goes from there. If I get too frustrated it'll at least be nice to know that I can toggle Baby Mode if need be. But I'd like to see how far I can get on default at first.

It's been a while since anything Steam related has frustrated me this much.
I've never heard of anyone actually getting banned for using VPN to buy a game, but I'm still not sure it's worth the trouble of potentially losing an account with almost 2000 games. Decisions, decisions...

Outer Worlds is the main game for me this month. Gonna play it day one on Game Pass PC. I'm also so ready for autumn. Summer can go fuck itself. I'm ready for chilly weather and wearing comfy pants while I sip coffee and play video games.

I'm interested in Indivisible, but I really am put off by the way the characters are set on those 3d environments. Perspective throws me off and I can't get over it.

I had the same bizarre dilemma with RAD. Had no luck buying a 3rd party key, it wouldn't activate either.

Lootboxes legislation starting to creep itself out of Belgium (thank you Belgium!). It still not the best (would prefer a Fortnite model where you can always know what the next item is):

– Introducing the X-ray Scanner for users in France:

— The X-ray Scanner allows users to reveal the item inside any container.
— Each user's x-ray scanner comes preloaded with a one-time exclusive non-tradable item—the P250 | X-Ray.
— Users in France must first claim this item to use the x-ray scanner again.

In France, every container must first be placed into the X-ray Scanner to reveal the item inside before purchasing a key. The X-ray Scanner will consume the container and reveal the item inside. To use the X-ray Scanner again, the revealed item must be claimed; it is not possible to scan another Container without claiming the revealed item.

In France containers can no longer be purchased from Steam Community Market, but can still be sold.

Must have - Outer Worlds ; Because I have gamepass now, and don't have to pay Timmy Sweeney for it.
Should have - Disco Elysium ; I really don't have the time or urge to play such a large RPG right now, but it sounds like a very special game.
Could have - Pine ; It wasn't on my radar, but looks very interesting.

I also have some free gamepass available from latest cpu purchase, but that is the same as "renting" the game or? I.e. won't get to keep the game when I choose to not pay for extended gamepass?

Anybody still on the fence about code vein, just get it, it's a great souls like game. Just don't use a partner and it's great.

It took me a while but I'm pretty into Outward now. There are a few elements that are... kinda not enjoyable at all, but overall I think it's a pretty interesting RPG.

Is anyone here plays Euro Truck Simulator 2/American Truck Simulator games?

SCS Software is doing an in-game event to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Inspired by truck manufacturers and truckers from around the world, this October we are proud to be joining the Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness campaign! We're asking the community to join us in supporting this great cause by delivering Pink Ribbon goods across Europe and the USA in our international Pink Ribbon Charity World of Trucks event.

Also, 100% of DLC money will go to charities.

Dunno?

Do you like that kind of RPG's? Do you like Obsidans previous games? Do you like New Vegas?

And I mean, based on your other post after this, no single game on gamepass is worth you signing up for 24-36 months, right?
Why are you looking at such long subscriptions to start with, instead of just trying a month for a buck?

Disco Elysium and Outer Worlds(via Game Pass) are what I plan to get this month. I was really looking forward to Afterparty, but will be waiting til 2020 I guess.

I had the same issues since the beta. I backed the game so I'll get it anyway, hopefully it's something you can get used to in the long run...

I don't understand anything (and I'm sure that's the point).
So now, you are obliged to know what's in a box before opening it, but once you've scanned a box you're obliged to open it or you cannot claim any other box afterwards, so Valve can pretend it's not a loot box mechanic anymore since you know what's inside, your choice is just to accept it or... stop playing?
I am very confused.

The difficult is integrated into the experience, much like Dark Souls or Celeste. However, the story also hinges the suffocating challenge. Still, the the difficulty is highly modular in the settings, so you can tweak any particular element if that is what you desire.
