Ok, so I can't get the pre order ones obv, I don't have Twirch Prime, and the gamescom ones I'm guessing you had to be there or something?
The other crates still worth good money, and you earn it by just playing the game?

I have always had something in steam wallet since April 2013
About DRM field as it's added manually, maybe no one has remembered to add it. I'd say it's very likely mistake.
Based on the first few hours the game is actually pretty good. The level design makes exploring very rewarding, and there are secrets and detail to be found aplenty. The puzzles I've encountered have been good too. It's very reminiscent of Wizardry VII.
Know that there some technical issues and bugs reported.

The gamecom are earnable with in game BP until like August 27th or something.
So you can work on getting those still. If you want to open them yourself though you gotta buy a key.

Kl, thx
I got the game a couple days ago but haven't had chance to play it yet and check out the crate stuff
You can buy the Gamescom with the ingame currency. The others are still good money. I had one that was worth 3€ and got an item out of it that is worth 10 cents... Never going to open another crate in the chance to get the skirt.

It's clear the game needs some updates, but from what I've seen, it looks solid. I would like to try it, but the dev said it will never get a discount and I have many games like this in my backlog...

That's really shitty, i really don't understand why it's such a big deal for Valve and publishers to allow users choose by themselves if they want to deal with possible compatibility issues or not. It's not like those games under NDA or something, this is just a bunch of 10-20 year old games. But i guess that's the price we had to pay for possibility of bringing Persona games on Steam, Valve ensured that nobody would be able to unlock overlay and take screenshots with spoilers, Atlus would be pleased. /s

So... Shadow of Wardor is always online with singleplayer RMT lootboxes.
Now the series' legacy is something other than the Nemesis system.

For god sake xD
Boy am I glad I don't care about this game!
This sequel really does scream of "give an inch, take a mile" from the first's unexpected success
Well, that's one way to convince me to stay out of this whole mess. Nothing in that sentence appeals to me.

It sucks. Good thing the latest Steam client beta gives those games controller support if you set it up before hand.
Fuck off.
Putting grind into your game so people feel enticed to buy microtransaction that do nothing more than changing a hexvalue in an encrypted file is already disgusting enough.
Preventing the use of cheatengine and the likes was the logical next step i suppose, but that doesn't mean i gotta be okay with that.
I'm sorry for the devs who worked their asses off, but i legit hope this game bombs really hard and every other future game that does this.

No worries from me, WB games drop fairly quickly in price. I will buy it when I determine it is worth my money.

Everything about this game screams of "buy the GOTY edition on sale in a years time"
Jawmuncher

All things considered though. Did they ever do a GOTY edition for Arkham Knight?
Then again it was like $10 for all the DLC and the game at some point.
Remember the pricing error where you could get the GOTY for two, fiddy?
Looking forward to the next one

At least XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is putting the Nemesis System to good use (for the titular Chosen enemies). Wardor amps up the stuff happening around the Nemesis System, but from the footage I've seen it doesn't really seem to have evolved much.
...I still wish Mordor had a really hardcore, roguelike bent, where each life is a run, and nemeses actually meant something. I seriously doubt Wardor will deliver this.
I suddenly long for the bygone days when everything levelled up instead. That at least tried to encourage you to spend time, rather than money, on the game.

Yeah, the way lootboxes affect game design is what turns me off of them so much. I always get the feeling it's designed to sell lootboxes first, and be a good game second, which leads to... well... conflicted game design. It's like the worst part of free-to-play gaming is seeping into AAA design for no reason other than greed.

If you see loot boxes in a single player game, Warna Brotha.
Whoa. I thought the loot boxes were silly but avoidable, but always online... yikes.

Well my interest went from 100 to 0 real fast
Hurray for always online in a single player game
Loved Mordor myself but nope, the last batch of news about this game just puts me off.

And sadly I wouldn't be surprised to see a press release a few months after release saying "over 50% of our Shadow of War users have bought gold with 30% of those users spending more than $100."

This is the inverse hype cycle for the first game.

Quite enjoyed King's Quest as well. And yeah, chapter 2 was pretty boring but chapter 4 was even worse (imo).

I didn't think I'd be able to be less interested in this game than I was but they managed to find a way to make the game even worse. Wow.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Wow what a wonderfull way to kill the hype ..... Fatality
Ye... Mordor was one of the least enjoyable games I have ever played and I paid $4 for it and tried really hard to like it.

Online Only for a SP game is a bigger issue than the Loot Boxes. Like they better fix that shit. It needs to be
Play Offline - Your money accumulated is flagged and can't be used to buy loot boxes
Play Online - Your money is fine and can be used to buy loot boxes.
Like that's not even optimal either. But I can understand them being scared of some sort of glitch to accumulate in-game money being used.
Regardless I don't have much interest in the game and will probably just borrow, rent, or buy when it's like $5 bucks.

There is some kind of indie teasing mystery going on involving the hashtag #UFO50
The guys from Spelunky and Downwell are in on it.
