I am still having the same CTD with DA:I that I have been having since launch so for now it's on the shelf. I love the game but it's too frustrating with the random CTD. The new NVIDIA drivers didn't fix the problem. Eventually it will get sorted I am sure but it is a tad annoying.

If you always let your PC sleep instead of atruly shutting it down, that may be the problem. I started having CTDs so I rebooted my PC again after weeks of just putting it to sleep. Game took a while longer to load and the main menu went kinda nuts after said reboot but that was a one time thing. Been playing for days after that without restarting or shutting down the PC and no CTDs anymore.

May have something to do with the GPU memory? The maps load awefully long after a reboot, yet are done in mere seconds after just restarting the game even after the PC being in sleep mode!

But the pricing on DAI is way off. They are pricing it like a console game even though it doesn't have the +$10 platform penalty.

$60 is the standard AAA PC game price these days. Ubisoft, EA, Activision, 2K, Sega and Bethesda have all adopted $60 as the standard. WBIE, Square-Enix, Konami, Namco and Capcom will likely follow suit within a year.

It gets to the point where you have purchased everything, either stuff you wanted, stuff that was cheap, or all of the heavily discounted really good games.

Now it is just new new stuff that is 10% off - not a big deal, and garbage......

Yeah my guess is many of us are in that bucket.

As for DA:I imo they haven't patched it yet. Their dicking us, so I'll be a dick back, fuck it's EA.

This is probably the worst Steam sale ever. Most of the titles which have a big sale are meh, only cutting 33% is a terrible sales point (unless this is a front page bug), Rage has so far been the 'best' title to come out of their community vote sale, and you can generally find the games which are/will be on sale cheaper elsewhere.

Thumbs down.

Yeah so far I've not been wholly impressed this year. I think in some ways the new layout of steam doesn't lend it's self as well to highlighting but a few sales items. Most of the games I'm interested in were just released so I don't see them getting any deep discounts, and it was a slow summer for good game releases.

I can't say I'm too upset though, I have a ton of games from previous sales I've yet to play, so the less I'm tempted to buy more the better

It's a joke. A sad one... that once again proves that EA are the scum of the earth. I will pirate DAI once it becomes available in a neat RELOADED package including all DLC.

Where the hell you been, it's been cracked for over two weeks now...by 3DM, no less. I couldn't find it in a store for less than $50 and given the plague of bug-ridden releases, I wasn't about to throw $50 on something sight unseen without having played at least a little of it first. I'm sorry, I'm usually one to say 'fuck it' and go headfirst to support the industry but with the death of demos, I couldn't get a good enough feel for it in the reviews and Lets Plays to tell me if it would run well enough on my system. Now that I know, I gave them the money. I still don't understand why they killed off demos. A lot of gamers wouldn't have to take the 'easy way' just to find out if it's worth the money if they'd just release either a time limited version or a level or two...

Well, to be fair, Origin does have that 24 hour money back guarantee doesn't it? So if you really just need to demo the game you can always buy it on a slow Saturday/Sunday, play the crap out of it and if you don't like it return it before the 24h run out.

Another admittedly decent Origin feature is the Free Game Time thing where you can test several games (currently BF4, Titanfall and KoA) for a certain number of hours. Enough hours for example to be able to easily finish the BF4 eight hour max SP campaign. For free. And test some of the MP. That's actually a fair deal.

But the pricing on DAI is way off. They are pricing it like a console game even though it doesn't have the +$10 platform penalty. Greedy bastards. And then they never bundle their games into GOTY or complete editions and the DLC never goes on sale. Look at ME3. It's on sale for €9.99 but the three main story DLCs are still 1200 BioWare points or 800 points respectively. So if you want it all you still end up paying full price at about €40. Greedy bastard assholes. So unless they change that soonish I'm gonna go all aaaaaarrrr matey on DAI.

DA:I must not be selling well if they're already discounting it by 40%. Strange, because Bioware keeps saying on their forum that it's done extremely well.

Maybe it's just not selling well on PC.

At this point for those who have held off, there's plenty of room for it to drop in price still. It will eventually be $5 or less.

No, the console versions have been on sale for $40 too over the past few weeks.

Well, I dunno about the US but in Euroland it's one of those typical EA "hey let's bullshit the customer into thinking they're getting a discount deal" (*typical* as in worst company of the year asshole EA).
It's "down" from an outrageous, far above average, price gouging €59.99 to "only" €40.19. Now around €40 is the regular price you pay for most new releases or often times even way less when importing from the UK so this is fuck all of a deal.
It's a joke. A sad one... that once again proves that EA are the scum of the earth. I will pirate DAI once it becomes available in a neat RELOADED package including all DLC.
Greedy fucking bastards either join the real world where we get to pay fair prices for our games or they'll learn the hard way.

if you really haven't played spammelfield 3 (all vehicles have unlimited instantly reloading ammo) by this point, i don't think a 99 cent sale would really make a difference to you.

i do miss how the air vehicles worked in that game though, it's gotten a lot better in BF4, but i could just wreck people in the jet in bf3. a clanmate of mine in 20ID went 113-0 in the jet once, moron only started recording the last 1/3rd of it.

Saw Wolf Among Us is still on sale on the Humble Store for another day at $6 and change. What does the Blues crew think, worth it at that price?

For information, I played Walking Dead S1 and thought it was okay, probably worth the $5 I paid.

I thought Wolf Among Us was great, but I also didn't mind that it was more an interactive story than a regular game. It's a mix of QTEs, investigative sections where you scroll around the screen for items, and various choices you make (some minor, some major).

I'd never read the comics, either, though I'm certainly curious about them now.

Scheissefield 3 could ostensibly be free and I still wouldn't care.

And yes, TWAU is worth it at that price. You'll enjoy it particularly if you're familiar with the Fables comics.

Naturally they still haven't put ME2 dlc (or BioWare Points) on sale (even on Amazon), after 4 freaking years! What a bunch of jackbasses!

Only reason I have BF3 is that Origin gave it to me for free with Mass Effect 3, so yes, they could possibly still beat that mark.
