The online servers for the older PC Dark Souls games being shut down due to exploit bugs probably influenced them not being on sale so as not to promote a partially defective product.

Terminally Bored posted:It's a really good story about unionizing. What didn't you like about it? It has all the finesse and logical throughline of a Neil Breen flick attempting to tackle similarly complex subject matter, and they keep hammering it into my face in the one place the game needed it least: to pad an already grindy experience in between the gameplay sections with unskippable monologues.

Hardspace would've been fine if all the story was exclusively relegated to happen while you were working. They can babble on as much as they want as long as get to play the game.

I liked Hardspace a lot but I honestly think it would have been better off as a pure sci-fi work sim with less of the... everything else. Maybe just have some themed radio stations, but it barely needs any of the storytelling or upgrading tree or a timer or anything else. I want to solve interesting ship-cutting problems and navigate zero gravity, all the other things feel like they just interfere with that.

veni veni veni posted:It's such bullshit that you can just buy all of the Dark Souls games+ all of their respective DLC on disc for console brand new in a collection for $40 and I have been waiting for a decent price on them for PC for well over a year no without a single sale. Even digitally they still go on sale on console, but nope, not for PC. Guess I just have to never have these games on PC or pay like $175 for 3 old as hell games that I already own on other platforms. They even used to go on sale all the time on Steam. loving garbage. I give up. I gave up waiting on Dark Souls: Remastered and bought it for £28 on CD Keys (vs £35 on Steam). Sort of regret nothing either. It's still phenomenal and plays so well on Deck. I'm praying Elden Ring goes on sale tomorrow.

Elden Ring has sparked renewed interest in Fromsoftware's older games. It's possible the publisher figured that they're selling well enough that discounts are unnecessary.

It's safe to play the restored online modes, right? I started up DS2 the other day and there was a co op sign at one of the bonfires, seeing someone still willing to help others on a weeknight in such an old game evoked that Dark Soul theme of loneliness and struggle, bless you, nameless undead undead

Volte posted:They have some modest fixed sale price points but the full price never goes down. All first party Nintendo games are full priced forever. Yep Activision used to do this for Call of duty games on console also. The thinking is that reducing the price "devalues" the IP. Which I suppose technically it does, but not in the way they think. Mario kart 8 delux is a remaster of a Wii-U game, that was a switch launch title. It is still $59.99.

When Nintendo's eshop closes for the 3DS in a few months there will be many games I would've bought and shoved off into the backlog, like Steam, if they ever had a sale at all. When the heck is Live A Live going to show up on Steam? Was that not a Square Enix game? Would like to play that someday without buying another handheld, and I'm too lazy for

Anyone getting really bad screen tearing in high on life and know how I can fix it? Not seeing anything on Google. I have a 165hz monitor with a 3080. Not seeing any in-game settings to even see what fps it's running it? I really wanna play it, but this is making it really uncomfortable to play

Not seeing any in-game settings to even see what fps it's running it? Steam Overlay has a built in FPS counter that I use. Also check your Nvidia 3D settings that you have Vsync set to Always On. Assuming you are using a gsync monitor, you'll want Gsync on and Vsync on in these settings. Then it's a game-by-game basis for if you turn on the in-game Vsync and fps limiter, as every game handles this a little differently. I first try to limit the fps to the refresh rate that I'm running on the monitor and turn the in-game Vsync off. Although, sometimes I need to turn the game's Vsync on in order for it to look smooth. Also, check if the game allows you to set the refresh rate, either coupled with the resolution setting or a stand-alone setting. if your monitor is set to 165 and the game is trying to refresh at 120 or something that could have weird effects.

Not seeing any in-game settings to even see what fps it's running it? Have you tried setting VSYNC to "on" for High on Life in the Nvidia Control panel? That usually works for me. I recommend messing with your Nvidia control panel settings on a per game basis.
