Well, it won't work out well for countries with lower valued currencies than the euro but that are also in the EU. Pubs would rather have their higher price and sacrifice a few countries than have an affordable price all round for the respective countries as a whole. While I despise geolocking and inability to use products outside a set of territories, its pretty much the only way pubs have played ball on reasonable pricing for countries that otherwise won't be able to afford games by similar standard pricing of other countries

We will always have cheap Nvidia codes!!! Oh wait.
They are different series.
Elite is the better one. GW series has only been trash so far.

Double Dragon IV is a pretty bad game and I'm surprised to see it come from Arc. Campaign is short as you'd expect but there aren't any interesting encounters or memorable spritework outside of a brief shot of your typical Japanese downtown. The last few chapters are filled with horribly balanced enemies who will either take out 5-7 bars of your health or catch you in an infinite knockdown until you die. Also there are multiple platforming segments that are just god awful, and not suited for the jump, and they remove an entire life if you fall. Honestly don't know how you would get through it in one go without continuing, because even with the incredibly overpowered spin move that will stun lock lock every enemy it's easy to get caught by projectiles and have no way of getting up.
The one thing that's kind of cool is the tower mode where you can play as all of the different enemies with their unique movesets but it's still not very fun because you have to grind through the first boring 20 floors or so and then you get to the enemies that will knock out half your health if you make even a minor mistake and again catch you in a knockdown loop.
Also no move lists for any of the enemy characters and their specials.

Well he retired from acting after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so probably not a lot. Enjoying retirement, hopefully.
3. Often cheap, plus probably the most polished of the series, and the non-sniping gameplay doesn't totally suck like in 1 and 2.
Unless 4 gets rave reviews, as it looks like it's an improved 3 overall.

Armello's a lot of fun, highly recommended.
And technically it's strategy if you approach each gameplay targetting a specific stat, otherwise, they'd just assign you a random start up character.

dungeons are just as tedious in nocturne, and i didn't find the combat to be much deeper than persona
it's rare to find jrpgs without shallow combat, so i don't mind
yeah, exactly
i enjoy the combat a lot even if it's simple because there's a whole other part of the game
it's like recettear in that the game ends up being more than the sum of its parts just because all of those systems are in your head and they interact with each other
i like procedural dungeons, i just wish there was more to em than a bunch of rearranged corridors
there could be traps, different types of enemies that attack u in different ways, hidden, locked and optional areas, puzzles, etc.
yukiko is alright, i just would rather talk about her story instead of how she's crazy about me or whatever just cos i listened to her problems
it's like, you don't have to be my girlfriend, it's fine, i'm just listening to you cos i'm your friend, pls stop making it weird by falling in love with me
did it get good reviews?

Currently 86 at OpenCritic, 85 at Meta but not all is counted there yet, some in-progress reviews with 9 so it might raise up to 87+ in best case.
So yes, very good reviews.

Russia is not a part of EU, so probably not?

I used my Game Pump refund on Mafia 3, good monthly games would be nice to though.
I wonder if I should play it "soon" (I have only 3.5 games in my backlog ahead of it), or if I should wait for the inevitable engine upgrade?

This makes ArcSys' own effort with Double Dragon 4 and that weird "sport challenge" game look amateurish in comparison.
They would have been better off licensing DD out as well, to someone who actually cares about the franchise instead of putting out DD4 on their own.

I was thinking of playing planescape torment in advance, so I guess I would play numenera next year? XD

If this goes through, the most likely outcome is prices get normalized across all regions to be more in line with more prosperous nations.

Looks great. I just hope it doesn't cost 30 like the River City Ransom the 3DS got a few motnhs ago.
This made me laugh.
Hey, G2A may be grey, but I at least appreciate them being so open and detailed in their responses, even if it boils down to this:
Correct, although assuming publishers do what they usually do when faced without geolocking product pricing, non-euro currencies of the EU will suffer crap pricing possibilities or maybe even no product distribution at all, so Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden. I think all these currencies are much much lower valued than the euro.
That's brilliant!

Looks awesome. I was under the impression that this was made by the FRACT OSC developers, but apparently not.
Russia will soon be part of USA though (or is it the other way around?) so Russian Bear still has a chance to make a come-back.
Bundlestars has Sniper Elite 4 up for preorder. Been waiting for them to get it. You can use discount code LUNAR8 for 8% off. Comes to $48.93 Canadian which is sweet.
Looks like a day one purchase to me.
