Thread for Gamers: Yes, Yes, XCOM 2 is here...

[May Mays]

People still buy phys releases apparently, so they have to protect everything.

I buy physical releases for my games because of internet speed. Physical is still very much a thing in modern gaming on PC.

People can yap on all they like about digital being the future, and I bet it is, but so far my experience with digital on major titles has been awful.

Smaller games are fine. DooM,a major AAA title, which I bought digitally took me 13 hours to download. 13 hours. So physical still very much has a place for many gamers on PC. And a lot of us live with internet caps.

All of my major game purchases a physical (except for Bethesda titles, fucking assholes. If you sell the disks, but the whole game on the disk.) XCOM 2, Total War: Rome II/Shogun II/Empire, Dragon Age: Inquistion, Mass Effect Trilogy, , Mortal Kombat X are all major games I bought physically.

Well ignoring install speeds, digital distribution is superior in every way possible.

The problem with digital distribution is no flaw in its own design, but in its nature. In most european countries it is not a problem at all, because of the developed internet structure over there.

America is a different story.

I'm all for digital. In about 2 years from now, which seems about right since NZ gets shafted for Internet which looks like it won't improve soon, especially for me.

Right now any superiority it may have receives a giant stake deep into its heart because of utterly nonsense download times. II am not going to ignore download time for a game since I see it as digital largest flaw which for larger titles render it unforgivable compared to how kick ass physical is for me.

I wish gwent was a real game. It could be like Hearthstone or something.

Does anyone know how to get the Xcom 2 DLCs to work?

[Alvecia]

Speaking of physical discs

They automatically worked for me, have you checked the steam community page on the game? Someone might have a solution there.

[Imperializt Russia]

Speaking of physical discs

Yeah, I made that joke a while ago.

8.2MB of Konami fisting you dry.

If ever there was a bigger "fuck you"....

[Imperializt Russia]

How big actually is the game?
The comments there were throwing around 60GB which would be fucking absurd.

Storage: 55 GB available space

Edit: Assuming we're still talking about Doom.

MGSV, since that's why we brought up the Steam installer bullshit...

[Alvecia]

Ah, I see. Steam has that at 28GB.

Yeah, not acceptable.

Though this puts Bethesda's bullshit in an even worse light. I can't entirely work out which is worse.

Ya. Someone mentioned reinstalling the DLC, but that didn't work for me. I still do not get the new customization options or the new aliens and weapons. I've also tried reinstalling the entire game and that didn't work either.

[Imperializt Russia]

Do you have it on Steam?

When I bought XCOM 1, I bought on offer where I got all the DLCs and EW thrown in.
As such, they were installed from the start.

Even if you got the game and DLC separately, reinstalling should have preloaded the DLC with it, surely?

[The Matthew Islands]

Woo, new Fallout 4 DLC today!

Ya I preordered it on Steam.

So Blood and Wine is going to be vampires galore?
I knew it.

You get a vampire! And you get a vampire! And you get a vampire!

Speaking of witcher, i fucking hate foglets. Especially having to fight them in a cramped cave, go sodomise yourself Ignis.

Them violet stet pedders.

And get kicked by children.

Yup, fucking hate arbitrary ban reasons and the admins who enforce them.

[Imperializt Russia]

Checked the server rules, and it is indeed no-shotguns.
Also no-M320 which probably also contributed to getting kicked.

Didn't get banned though. Got banned hilariously earlier this week, but can't remember exactly what for. Shame.
As such, rejoining, since it's clearly a new game now.

It's only 400% tickets but both teams start at about 1600?
Didn't think Conquest normally started at 400 tickets for Conquest Small.

[Former Socialist Republic of Kuyask]

So HOI4 is available to pre-order on Steam.
While I never pre-order stuff I would like to know other people's opinions.
