Isn't that hilarious? after I bought South Park, it has huge discounts everywhere, including gamersgate where I bought it just several days before.
damn my luck, damn it to hell (._.)

Haha, nah, I* used to have one. I lost a bunch of photos of him when my SSD decided to suddenly kick the bucket the other week, which makes me a sad panda.

* Well, he belonged to my brother, but I looked after him for the last ~18 months of his life as my brother moved up north for work.

I was trying to say this many times before!
I wonder would games never have deep discounts if I haven't bought them. For example, I haven't bought (steam) Lumines... and it's never discounted... (><)

on the bright side, this rule only works for games I want to buy, so other games aren't dependant on my buying habits, of course, it doesn't help me in the slightest, as usual

I have a weird feeling, that I'm not getting everything out of my GTX 780 video card.

I set everything to ultra settings in my games and the framerates are fine, but sometimes the image seems grainy.

Is that because of my monitor?

And I just upgraded from a regular ass 780 to the 780Ti a few months ago
for free.

I should wait for a 980Ti at least.
Click to expand...

If you can sell the 780 for almost as much as a 980 costs it would be worth it but even paying 50€ on top isn't imo. And we probably won't get a Ti since there's nothing to unlock but who knows.

Can someone explain how I can find out if what the region restrictions and gifting restrictions are for Far Cry 4?
Click to expand...

1) Visit the store page of the region you want to purchase the game from (via a trader)
e.g. http://store.steampowered.com/app/298110/?cc=ru

2) Hover over the "Add to cart" button of the package you want and take note of its id
e.g. javascript:addToCart( 54144);

3) Look up the package on SteamDB
e.g. https://steamdb.info/sub/54144/

4) Look out for AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting, onlyallowrunincountries and (to a lesser extent) prohibitrunincountries

ACRTAG = Copies sourced from Eastern Europe, South America, South-east Asia or Turkey will be region-locked at the activation level if they're sent to an international user (Eastern European gifts can only be activated by those in Eastern Europe and so on)
OARIC = The game will only run if you're in one of the listed countries
PRIC = The will not run if you're in one of the listed countries

It's also possible for publishers to "language-lock" region-specific packages, as is the case with Far Cry 4 RU, but this isn't something that can be ascertained using SteamDB until the game has released and the depot names are known; however, publishers are usually pretty good about putting up a warning message on the store page in a timely fashion.

So.

Whats the difference between the gamecount in the library and in my profile.
My library shows I have 1014 games, my profile shows 999.
Click to expand...

Your library count includes, in addition to owned games*, any installed demos, installed F2P games, and F2P games for which you own DLC. The Steam Community count includes only owned games* and software.

* Includes F2P games that were obtained via gift redemption/key activation -- previously Steam would spit out an error, but as of the Free on Demand system replacing sub 0, they're now +1s.

wait, are you saying that f2p we own paid dlc for can be not included in our game count? I thought if you own dlc, it is included, always.

Yeah. Owning DLC for an F2P game has never conferred a +1, but in such cases the games do stick around in your library even when uninstalled.

Hey Jase, since you were so disappointed with AssUnity, how are you liking FC4 so far?
It looks like a first in the Far Cry franchise in that a sequel is not a massive change of style and game design. But actually very, very similar to FC3.

Didn't you just buy a new PC with a 760? Already a new one, huh.

*mindblown*
I was always sure that it's other way around, they stay in your library because they become +1 with dlc.
good to know, that when I buy a game and it hoes f2p it doesn't count as bought, the same with dlc!
that makes no sense, btw (><)

Yeah, it's a stone's throw from being Far Cry 3 with a different setting, but that's not an entirely bad thing even though I prefer 2 to 3.

I think there's soemthing wrong, here. Did two times the Mordor's benchmark on High.
First time it achieved a max FPS of 126. Second time max FPS were 90.

Then I put all on Ultra, and this is the result:

Try actually playing the game and running around a bit. The second zone has a heavier hit than the first.

And I even like Action-RPG and hack&slash more than TB. Please don't kill me.

I don't see how that's a problem of any kind, I just don't like when people bash one or other based on their personal preferences as if these are paradigm we all should live by.
I really got tired of "dated" argument, that even media began to exploit, that's like stupidest misconception ever.

That I agree with :)

How can I recognize if all goes well, that way? I mean, it seems ok to me :l

If you don't see anything wrong while running the game on high/ultra, then don't worry and keep playing :)
If you want stable 60 fps at all time, then use fraps and see how you're doing in game. If it drops frequently, just change some settings.

Did anyone pick up LEGO Batman 3? Interested in how it stacks up against LEGO Marvel. Or LEGO Batman 2, I guess, although that's obviously a fair bit older.
