What, specifically, is the issue in the image you posted? The ghosting? Hard to tell from a photo, and it's normal to see some trailing on a monitor still of a moving image.

Those two white lines that run along the top of the monitor. Happened ever since playing Mafia 3 with sweetfx
Very noticeable if I read a comic on my PC too
Prices are really high in certain places due to a new digital tax or something. So doesn't seem like a placeholder.
The problem with that statement is it's currently affecting countries with no such thing at the moment and thus the increases don't appear to be strictly following that logic.
Well looks like I'm getting the retail version. I hope it comes with a colored game booklet like Dark Souls 3 did.
Crazy how in some places a digital download is more expensive than the retail version.
There are no placeholder prices on Steam as you're charged instantly even when pre-ordering.

I think that Valve just updated the price recommendation thing and it affected everyone (in regions with non-US pricing) without caring if they actually have digital sales taxes or not.
Nier Automata's pricing isn't indicative of the adjusted defaults.

Oh, it's just Square going "screw these third world peeps" then.
Yeah, more or less. It's really just India and CIS Land that have an acceptable price. I think it was Bethesda that first began experimenting with notably higher prices for new releases in regions where games are notably cheaper by default and this gradually gained traction among other larger publishers.

I own it as well, but only on Steam, not in my "Humble library". So either Humble checks my Steam account, which is easily doable for them (they do it all the time), or as Monooboe suggested, it is a way to compensate for the fact we cannot "pause" our subscription.
Yup, I remember Fallout 4 being $80 dollars on launch.
I don't mind buying retail copies but what annoys me is that they most of the time it's just a code in a box for steam anyway.
Also they don't ship it until the steam release date so you can't even pre-load the game.

Yeah, they still putting laughable 60$ for new titles in region when 200$ is average monthly wage. At least their games is still around 35$ in RU region so it's relatively easy to get cheaper version from official russian key sellers. I guess it should work like that for South America region too, if game is overpriced in Peru or Chile, it's better to get cheaper keys from Brazil or Mexico, because they are in same region.

say what you want about the gameplay of dishonored 2, its level design and art direction is insanely good

Ehehehe, I thought you meant the ghosting in the second picture.

But the gameplay is fantastic too!!
They pretty much fixed most of the problems in Dishonored 1 (not being able to air drop knock out, Dark Vision looking like a turd and being crucial to stealth playthroughs at the same time) and added a completely new character with a completely new set of abilties.
They pretty much perfected the formula of Dishonored 1 which IMO was exactly what they needed to do for a sequel.

Yes I agree, especially regarding the stealth changes, but for some reason D2 just doesnt get love re gameplay ?

Ok seriously how is rot3k among ur top 10 list?
Anything not an indie release or an old port is getting that price here, so it's not a huge shock to see Nier getting it either

Thanks, this is cool. Really tempted to double dip...
230!Not more than 120.
Gust's non-Atelier games are generally hit and miss while Atelier is always a hit.

There was a point'n'click called Désiré on Steam that was removed from the Steam Store less than a week ago, you can get keys very cheap from Humble right now:

Why give money to devs who had their game removed for review manipulation?
I'm just kind of annoyed of these prices forcing me to buy retail.
Especially when I can't pre-load a 50GB game with my slow ass connection.

I'm surprised there are actually people who prefer Doom 2 over Doom 1. After finally finishing it, I'm not at all surprised I stopped playing the game years ago on the first city level. The level design drops off a quality cliff at the point and never really recovers.
Doom > Doom (2016) > Doom 3 > Doom 2
The expansion pack they included in the BFG release is pretty solid though. The levels felt more like the first third of Doom 2.

Not for store purchases.
Hmm didn't hear about that, but it might be related.
On the other hand, Atelier Firis is sold on the usual recommended price. I just might buy Firis instead since its sold for less then the half price of Nier. Don't have enough time to play them all either way
I bet Mass Effect Andromeda will have something similar as well.
That's only for bundles I think. I doubt anyone would sell their products on a store that doesn't pay them
250-300 and it will go to someone I have never seen before
