Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It’s done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.
Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren’t overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.
I’m not going to link directly to any pirated content as I don’t want to break the c rules, but iirc the creators of Disco Elysium literally asked people to pirate the game instead of buying it, as none of the sale currently goes to them, seeing as they were (according to them) unfairly ousted and had lots of money kept from them.
Thanks. I think I had GP a while back just to play AC: Valhalla, so I won’t get a cheeky deal… I’ll probably buy it on GOG, as it seems like it’s not going to be the sort of game I complete within a month or two, I prefer to ‘own’ a game than rent it once I’m satisfied it’s for me.
I think we’ve all learned our collective lesson at this point (or at least, we should have) not to over-hype games, nor to pre-order them.
I’m going to have to temporarily move in with my dad in October potentially for a few months, should be some decent reviews in by then so I’m looking forward to killing time with this game!
I didn’t have any gamebreaking bugs, but had soooo so many “how the fuck did this pass quality control?” bugs. Most of them were pretty funny, like the time I didn’t understand how the cyberpsycho quests worked, and tried to take the unconscious body with me.
The game system did not like having that body in the trunk of my car, with hilarious Dali-esque consequences.
Aside from that, the deep systems that were promised were extremely shallow; the onscreen map was fucked, too small to see turns coming (pathing too CPU-intensive when zoomed out?); the onscreen HUD still last time I played was too small to read on a 4k screen; the car handling / driving is still atrocious (at least, last time I played). It is a fun game, especially for those picking it up now. Mods make it much more fun.
There’s a few games I missed out on over the years, due to a long period where I had neither a console nor a GPU. HL is one of them… I’ve tried checking out some older games now I have a GPU but struggled to get into them due to the graphics.
So I’ll 100% be getting stuck into this when it’s out! Big thanks to the team taking on this task.
I tried to use the mod manager to install the ‘fixer’ mod that most nexus mods claim is essential to their use.
Not sure if it’s something to do with a recent update, but the only way I could get the mods to work was by… simply copying and pasting them into the mods folder recommended by Larian lol. ‘more actions’ and ‘more spell slots’ have made the game enjoyable for me as a newcomer.
