The ever classic:

"There's the Bluemon Tower. I wonder how's the view from the top." (or something)

WE WERE THERE 10 MINUTES AGO.

Personally I recommend picking your pawns up and hurling into the ocean to be devoured by the nameless monsters below. Or my personal favourite, have them 'assist' you in casting the most powerful magic attack in the game, used by the magic archer.

Also, try drawing your weapon in front of a civilian for lulz.

I dont these prices are in USA dollars.
I would be inclined to agree, but FO4 still costs sixty sea shells. The hell are those prices?

It's dollar for CIS members (Azerbaijan, etc), Fallout 4 is an exception because Bethesda is a bitch and enforces full pricing in every single country for the game sans Russia and China, such is their dumbfuckery that countries such as Colombia have to pay $70 USD, only ones that have to pay more than us are the swiss and the fucking gulf monarchies:

https://steamdb.info/app/377160/

At least we get to pay only $30 for XCOM 2 but nuuvem sells it for even less with the season pass thingie included and it's only region locked for people outside south america so bless our brazilian brothers :ehue:


EDIT: Damn, it's almost full price for Dragon's Dogma over here, think I will stick with PS3 version for this one.

Hey Morgoth gave me a great idea; I wont bend to install Steam Spyware on my gaming PC but I really want to support Capcom on this so I will buy the code on GMG to do just that and keep playing the "demo". The port is really well made with some welcome additions like the FOV slider, textures are a bit lacking on cutscenes but overall it looks postively awesome and most of the differnces make it look day and night compared with the consoles...just an awesome fucking job on this port on a superb game

Combat is still fun and this is a decent port. I am experiencing random framerate drops so i'll turn the settings down. I also noticed that I can't swim, why is no swimming still in open world games?
I really hope theres not only one save file

Seems like the released demo has had quite the impact on the game's sales.
Why? Prices were set to relatively low at 6. 12.*1 Look at price graphs from non steam distributors. So far there was zero change at minimum prices, medium prices rose a bit because sellers synchronized prices to avoid unnecessary competition.

*1 It's a port of relatively old PS3 game, and there was never reason to set 60$ price as for AAA game.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic showing it at #1 despite the leaked version. Piracy does not = massive lost sales, although I wouldn't want to test that theory too far out in advance of release.

I cant fucking wait. I got DEEP into the PS3 Version and i mean DEEP!!

Also the main games content is trash compared to the expansion. It has a ton of cool Mechanics that makes it an amazing Dungeon Crawler also i cant wait for some one to pick my very very Talkative sexy amazon Pawn.

Controler all the way, console game are designed around the controler on the same way RTS and startegy games are to the keyboard and mouse; trying to be cool by not using the correct input is kind of weird to me

Dragon's Dogma had an actual demo on consoles didn't it? Wouldn't hurt to add one to PC.

It was only the character creator and one quest to kill a griffin. It didn't show the game off very well.

Although it did sell me on the game since I could make a loli.

Since people are playing this now, any more comments on M&K vs. controller?
You always use controllers for third person games on PC.

On PC it'd be p. useful to check controls and performance.
too bad most PC developers forget this.

They don't forget, it's intentional. If you have any marketing budget at all or people are hyped about your game, a demo is a negative incentive. People might play it and decide they don't want to play your game. The less they know about your game the better other than vague hype. It's a cynical view of human nature but seems to work out.

Eh, that's applicable for the average game, and obviously, assuming you have an average game before it's been released is the smart bet. But this was well above an average game, so a demo would have helped it out I think, and it's rather weird considering that it had a demo originally. Perhaps they decided it was a bad demo and didn't want to waste time making a new one either.
