Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.
I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

Man I don't know how you guys can play horror games. Even the YouTube vids of this game look so scary :c

You become sanitized. You see it so much, it doesn't scare you anymore.. you have to force yourself to watch horror movies for example.
Which game? The original? No DLC for this sequel.

It comes with the "Last Chance" dlc. I think it's just a preorder bonus.
Is greenmangaming trustworthy? I get 10% off humble. I could just buy it there
Ah, that's right forgot about that.

GMG is 100% trustworthy

I love the way they announced this game. Such a change of pace after hearing about 'project zwei' in regards to the first game and waiting for what felt like an actual eternity.
It's nearly here guys 😂 So excite!!!

It's a little premature, sure. In a year when Nier: Automata did well, anything can happen.

Not only that NieR Automata did great in year that other big games came out. Also if remember correctly NieR Automata had barely any marketing.
0 Marketing. This game has some marketing with ads, commercials, being at trade shows, steady drip feed of content for guys like us, etc.
The only things that could screw this game are an awful story (first game was a bit hard to follow for some) and if it had technical issues. (Bethesda tends to do this with games at launch)
Barring those two things we could see a GOTY contender rise.

Cdkeys completely turns the tables on these publishers forcing PC to go digital.

My brain memory must be hazy with early onset nostalgia but the pc footage I'm seeing from TEW2 seems like its less graphically impressive than TEW1.
Like, the lighting composition seems less ambitious from the early gameplay I'm watching. Hard to explain, maybe its just the early locations are reaaaally boring, but it feels like the lighting change from dark souls 1 going into 2. The lighting seems flatter.
That's just me.

Well they modified the engine and the install size is smaller, so there may be some graphical features scaled down to work with this new semi open world.
Considering the foundation TEW is built on is still idTech5.
My comment was mostly directed at console gamers who got the game early because stores broke street date.
Edit: oh yeah I got post #leet.

Thanks! Told myself I wouldn't get this till later on down the line but I can't pass up getting it for half priced

Yeah , I don't have a cdkeys account and paid with paypal. They send a email to the address attached to your pay pal account.
I feel dumb because I'm probably just going to buy through Steam for $60. I know CDKeys has it for ~$32 with the DLC included, but I'd rather pay full US price to show them that I'm one of the customers that supports these types of games.
That's how I'm justifying financial irresponsibility anyway.

Doubtful that any of "them" would see a penny more of your cash because you bought it from Steam directly.

I was thinking along the same lines as Nick, but if what you say is true...
If I buy a Cd-key vs. buying elsewhere at full price am I really going to end up giving Tango/Bethesda the same $$$?
Cause if so obviously I'll get the Cd-key. I don't really understand the magic of cd-keys but I have used them before.
That's the game where you play as the sexy robot girl, wreck shit up, and the story is super tragic and depressing and stuff, right? Man, that game was awesome! Glad to hear it did well, and hopefully the fact that it did so bodes well for TEW2.
Eh, I doubt it will be a GOTY contender regardless of how good it is. I mean this is the year that Zelda: BOTW and Mario: Odeysee got released, and those two games will sweep the GOTY awards this year, no doubt (and maybe Horizon: Zero Dawn will get a few as well).

They really don't care. Personally I can't afford to burn $30 so I always buy from CDKeys, without them I'd never get to play new games.
It's not the same amount of money they'd get through Steam but they still get what they'd usually get for a lower cost region boxed copy. CDkeys buy boxed copies from lower cost regions, so Bethesda gets the same amount of money they'd get for selling a boxed copy in that region.
Don't feel bad, corporations take advantage of globalist capitalism all the time... why shouldn't you?
It's less about the money Bethesda would get form the sale and more about reflecting that the US market still finds games like this desirable. I'd rather have the sale in the US than in, say, Bulgaria.
It is also worth noting that CDKeys buys most of their keys from retail outlets where the cost of the game is much cheaper to reflect the strength of their regional currency. This means that the pot is split up even more than a Steam direct purchase. I think the breakdown is retailer, CDKeys and Bethesda (maybe even Steam for key generation), as opposed to just Steam and Bethesda.
I could be totally wrong, and I'm not admonishing anyone going the CDKeys route.
EDIT: St3v3 and Azzanadra are right, too. While I'm fortunate enough to burn $30 on new release and still be able to grab Mario, Wolf 2 and probably AC later this month (not even counting the incidental purchases throughout), I'm probably just better off getting it for ~$30. Hell, this money is probably going into some tax haven, so it's probably pure profit for them. My one sale is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme.
I just preordered this on cd keys and when I follow the download link it says the code won't be available until right before launch. Based on experience, when should I be looking out for the code?
