[Tpek]

Just in time for (C)Hannukah!  8)

[Dammit Carl!]

Ugh.  That's so far away and I want it* now!

* Not really certain what "it," is, but I'll know it when I see it.

Is there any reason to expect that this Steam sale won't offer the exact same discounts as the one that ended just a couple of weeks ago?

I have to admit, I don't really get why these big Steam sales are bunched so closely together, when there's nothing that really differentiates them anymore.

Yes, you certainly are a master baiter.

Not really...no. Last year the sales were identical iirc.

But I survived the last one so I'll be buying *something* this one. Probably Doom and one or two others that escape my rather feeble memory.

You have no idea  :P

I've restocked my account with fresh steam cards.  Bring it on!

I'm might actually get a game this year.  If Grim Dawn goes on sale for a deep discount, I'll most likely pull the trigger on that one.  I'm feeling an itch to play a good ARPG.

Grim Dawn is good and cracks open into a wider world after the first act IIRC. Until then it felt a little claustrophobic to me.

I've seen it regularly going for about 50% off over the past couple months, in various places.  I think one retailer was actually giving it away as a buy-something-get-free deal a short time ago.  So I'd expect it to have a good discount during the sale.


I've enjoyed playing Grim Dawn but I have one problem with it.  The framerate always drops down below more preferred 40fps minimum whenever I move my character.  Doesn't matter what gfx settings I use, or even how powerful a computer/gfx card I'm using it on.  It's just enough to notice the framerates get just a bit choppy, and gives me a bit of a headache after a stretch of hacking & slashing & running.  Something at issue with the optimization, and Crate has never addressed it despite the complaints.

The framerate loss doesn't bother everyone, so  you may be fine with it.  Still playable for me anyhow.

I noticed this too...when I got my new monitor running 1080P.

Old and busted worked fine.

Huh...good to know.  I'll have to some research on this issue before I purchase the game.
