Happenstance Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Started a new world on Terraria today with the final update. Unfortunately it's been so long since I properly played that I don't really know whats new and what isn't . Nice to get back to the game though after all this time.

Happenstance Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 The lockdown has been messing with my sense of time again and I didn’t realise how close we are to the release of the C&C remaster. Just preordered my copy and I can’t wait to play it. 1
Scratch Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 SAME! Well, I haven't pre-ordered but it will most likely be a day 1 buy for me and I can't wait!
bob Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Civilization 6 available for free on the Epic Games Store from today until the 28th.
Happenstance Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 It's typical that the two big games Epic made free during the lockdown are the two that I bought at the beginning of the lockdown as something to play. 1
Happenstance Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Had to get a refund of my C&C Remaster preorder from Greenmangaming as they were originally offering Steam keys but they emailed today to say they've got Origin ones instead. No way I'm using Origin again after the mess over the last few weeks. Bloody thing kept launching games while I was in the middle of playing stuff. 1
Scratch Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) KANE LIVES!!! PEACE THROUGH POWER! PEACE THROUGH POWER! Remaster unlocks tomorrow at 6PM (if I've calculated it correctly xD) wooooo! Edited June 4, 2020 by Sckewi 2
Happenstance Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Only played the first couple of C&C missions so far but I think it looks great and plays exactly how I would want it to. Gonna jump into a skirmish on Red Alert in a minute I think! 1
Will Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I buy very few PC games, maybe one every two or three years or so. Been looking forward to the C&C Remasters since I heard about them. Download is almost complete and I can't wait to play a Red Alert skirmish! 1
Dufniall Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Damn I was going to wait for a sale but now I'm getting excited. I've been playing Red Alert 3 Uprising lately so I'm very much in the mood for more C&C.
Ganepark32 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Not sure if many use it, but Itch.io are selling a massive bundle in for charity to raise funds for the Black Lives Matter movement. There's upwards of 700 games in the bundle, with a minimum donation of $5 netting you the lot and donations going to NAACP Defense and Education Fund and Community Bail Fund. Some of the highlights include games like Oxenfree, Astrologaster, A Short Hike and Night in the Woods to name a few. And of course with it being Itch.io, all games are DRM free. It's a hell of a bundle deal with enough games to keep anyone going for years. Tempted myself but money is a bit tight and would want to make more of a donation than the minimum so will have to see but the link's below if anyone is interested. https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality 1
Ganepark32 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 The Itch.io deal I mentioned in the post above has doubled the number of games included in the bundle. There's now over 1400 games included, with Celeste being one of the new games being add. If you've already bought/donated, any new games added before the bundle deal finishes will be added to your library. It was already an insanely good deal for a good cause but this is just incredible. You could play a new game every day for near enough the next 4 years as it stands. Theres currently just over 5 and a half days left to grab the bundle and donate. Think I'll see if I can sort something up and free up a bit of money to make a donation as it's got a couple of things I'd forgotten about but was interested in a bit back (such as Visual Out).
ArtMediocre Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I also found Octodad and Runner 3 in the mix. Crazy bundle, and adding Celeste just made the deal even sweeter. Bought and donated a bit extra
Dufniall Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I got it as well for a bit above the minimum price. Probably won't even look at 99,99% of the games though haha. I saw some game devs promoting it on Twitter so I figured if they are behind this then I shouldn't feel ashamed for picking it up for this bargain price.
Happenstance Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Got around to grabbing the bundle myself. Started using the recommendation thread on Era to pick what games are worth giving a try. https://www.resetera.com/threads/itch-io-racial-justice-bundle-game-recommendations.222781/
Happenstance Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 PC Gaming Show is live in 5 minutes is interested in watching. Keeping my fingers crossed for my Persona announcements!
Happenstance Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113000/Persona_4_Golden/ P4G page is up on Steam. Nice price. 1
Ganepark32 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Have been checking in on the PC Gamer Show intermittently as I was interested in seeing Twin Mirror from Dontnod but we only really got a 30 second showing of it. Still, it looks much improved on the last time it was shown over a year ago. Hoping that there'll be more to show in the coming days/weeks and hopefully a release date for it as it is supposed to be out this year. Shadowman getting a remaster was random. Not sure Nightdive taking on another game is a good sign given everything with System Shock 3 and the long in development remaster of the original System Shock (which showed up and looked decent but odd choice of music in that trailer). Good to see a date for Cris Tales, Nov. 17th. And nice to see The Last Campfire again but I'd have liked more concrete date than Summer 2020. Think I'll need to go back through and watch the whole thing and see what else was there but for the most part, what I saw was a better showing than previous years for the PC Gamer Show.
Jonnas Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Hitman Absolution is FREE on Gog.com right now. Unfortunately, I don't know for how much longer, I just clicked it immediately. I'm assuming 35 hours (which is how much time is left for the Summer Sale to end) Edited June 13, 2020 by Jonnas
Magnus Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 That's still too expensive for Hitman: Absolution. But free is free, I guess. 1
Ganepark32 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 New trailer and gameplay of Ghostrunner. It was shown as part IGN's Summer of Gaming and while it's coming to consoles, it was the PC version on show and I've been able to try out the demo thanks to GeForce Now. It continues to look great. They've nailed that cross of Mirror's Edge meets Dishonored within the Cyberpunk setting. It played well in the demo, just a shame it was short but it definitely got its hooks in and has me wanting to play more. It's set to come out later this year so looking forward to it.
Nicktendo Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Great time to be a PC gamer. Just added Persona 4 Golden and Sea of Theives to my Steam wishlist. Also noticed that Heavy Rain and Detroit Become Human are on there as well as a wealth of EA games being added in the past few days. Fallen Order might just be my first EA game in years. I already have Horizon and Death Stranding on there, patiently waiting for release. Master Chief Collection has already been bought. All that MS needs to do is add PC support to Rare Replay and whack the Forza series on Steam and I’ll be happy has Larry. God of War would be nice too but... My question is why are all these console exclusives coming to PC (albeit a year or so later than the originals) and with so many games to play nowadays, does anyone even need a next-gen Sony/MS console? I jest of course, but I’m really glad to be able to experience these games without buying the hardware. Long may it continue.
Happenstance Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Steam Summer Sale has just started. Not really planning on buying much myself this year. 1
Dufniall Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 13 hours ago, Happenstance said: Steam Summer Sale has just started. Not really planning on buying much myself this year. I got the "13 items from your wishlist are on sale" email so I figured this must have been the case. I'm not sure what I want to pick up. Sonic Generations is €1 so I'll take that. But for the rest I'm thinking one or two big titles as I don't really play indies on PC. I'm thinking Hellblade, maybe pick up AC: Odyssey or a sim-game like Jurassic World Evolution. I've been eyeing Ace Combat 7 for a while as well, as I loved both the original PS game and the 3DS one. But that's still pretty steep at €20. I'll let it sink in for a bit.
Nicktendo Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Oops Edit: to be fair, this entire list of games cost me just shy of 45 Euros. Most of it is stuff that has been sat on my Switch wish list for months. Borderlands GOTY was the most expensive at 10 Euros, the rest were between 50 cents and a fiver for the most part. Praise be to the man who invented regional pricing as way to combat pirates. Praise be to living in a "third world country" and praise not be to Nintendo who probably would have charged me 200 euros WITH discount for this exact list. Edited June 26, 2020 by Nicktendo 1 2
