Eh 10% difference isn't that major when a game would go on sale for like $15, a difference of $1 is hardly noticeable :X
Does the steam_appid.txt "trick" not work any more? I remember downloading Wolfenstein TNO via a dutch VPN and then playing without VPN or offline mode with a created txt-file in the steamapps\common\Wolfenstein-folder.
I know that feeling. I still have not really dug into Trails in the Sky 3rd because my 99 hours of Persona 5 burned me out of JRPGs. Still a fantastic game though, the OST is still on my commute playlist.
So, i've been thinking about this for some time, and finally decided to buy Hitman. And now i face this dilemma:
I knew this game would take a lot of disk space, so i cleaned up my SSD, but it seems that wasn't enough. I guess i'll have to move all my other games to a regular HDD if i want to have better loading times in Hitman D:

People who don't have at least 1 tb ssds lol.
Trails the 3rd will be my next long game but I need to play some shortish ones before taking the plunge back in.
My Steam/Games SSD is 1TB and it's still always full... (minus the safe sapce)

Yeah I'm constantly deleting stuff too with the amount of games I have and ones like Hitman and Blops 3 taking up almost 100 gbs each.

Speaking of Steam's runtime restriction: Does it still unlock after three months or that was fixed after ACRTAG's transition phase.
What do I get for killing 60 templars? Bragging rights?
I really wanna play The Witcher 3 or even Persona 5 but I can't complete such super long games yet. Gotta stay with the short ones or not so long ones. Thinking of doing Spec Ops, Shadow of Mordor or Assassin's Creed II next.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Even with all the dying and reloading you do in Hitman, I didn't find the loadtimes to be particularly long even on my HDD. The only time I noticed a particularly noticeable delay was when I had a really slow internet connection and the mission load out screen was taking forever to show up.
Edit: Actually I just remembered that my HDD at the time was dying and even then the load times were pretty zippy.
Well, when you are mostly playing old games and ports of japanese games like me, a big SSD isn't really necessary

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
well shit, something's wrong
I can visit the store page just fine in chrome, but not in the steam client itself, just a blank page

Someone told me last night in Heroes of the Storm that a Steam sale is starting today, Thursday? Is that correct? If so, how did I not know this???
Because you haven't been paying attention.

Steam store updates at 1AM local time. I always wake up hours late to a thirty-page sale thread.

1tb SSDs are fucking expensive.
Does it work for non-Austria people? Can't even read it.
Yeah, it works as long as you're paying with in PayPal and you can use as many -land offers from different countries as you can find. (but only one after the other, if you have multiple vouchers at the same time, only 1 gets used and the others are wasted).
I stocked up on 40 steam-bucks with 30 yesterday with an Austria-offer and Germany-offer. Made 2 20 orders.

Doesn't work for me, it says I can't save more coupons from this seller.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus pre-order is available for ~33 on cdkeys.
That's -45%!

Says I'm ineligible for the offers even though I have my PayPal set to . Guess it's cause I have it linked to my bank and don't have any money on the account.
Just suck it up and think you're spending for a new GFX card. I did. It was amazing not worrying about space.
Nah that's the same setup I have.
That just means they are out of coupons for the moment.
SSHDs are a decent compromise.
poor people, how dare they to exist, right?
I have 128 GB ssd and even that was expensive and I had to make some other compromises to get it.

Wait for their 10% discount codes.
How well do the Wolfenstein games run on an AMD Polaris GPU nowadays? They used to have insane framerate issues but some people claim that the games run fine with the "Catalyst AI" disabled. I know that I can always ask for a refund if they run poorly but I'd rather not waste time on a 50GB download for TNO to find out for myself.

I think he was joking. Because 1TB SSDs are far from being the norm now.
That being said, I have to upgrade my 128GB SSD. I have a 2TB normal HDD for games, but I want to have certain games on SSD

Oh there better be price mistakes today to make up for the influx of anime popping up on Steam this week.

Wait, will the sale start 1 hour later than the usual deals?
Plot twist: all the price mistakes will only happen for anime.
That still works provided the executable is tethered to the client, but it also means no achievements or card drops as Steam will think you're in a different game. Granted, though, using Offline Mode also means no card drops.
It still expires. I initially figured it was an unintentional side effect of the store region system change, but at this point I can only assume it's by design.
I have a 1tb SSD dedicated for steam/games and so far I try and keep it around half full at all times. Really only keep whatever multiplayer games and games I am playing with friends installed and a couples single player games. I delete games as I am done or games I do not have intention of playing anytime soon. My internet speeds are very good so if I have to download something I can do so quickly.

Do you regularly play everything?
I have 10 games installed and I barely play everything. I usually stick with one game and uninstall it after I'm done with everything. Therefore I never understand why people need lots of storage for their games. Especially with today's internet speed where you can install one in an instant.
I'm surprised all these anime are available to me in Italy too. Usually it's all region locked. Deciding if I want to purchase streaming though, plus English subs only is kinda weak.
My internet is okay but not great, so I keep as many as possible. I have more VR games installed than anything though because I play most of them but only short bursts. I also try to keep 4-5 big games on there from my backlog to make me finish them

There is really not an influx of 3D rpgs on Steam. So far in the past 30 days I beat Nier (still working on other endings), Mars War Logs and Risen 3. I guess Technomancer or the Surge are the next logical steps...I am hoping for a deal on Fable so I can replay it.
Don't worry Trails of Cold Steel is coming soon!

I am more in to western "style" RPGs, although I have never really given JRPGs a chance. I think its time.
I'd say not at all, they're mostly useless as most is limited to 8GB of Flash. You're better off having smaller SSD & HDD separately.
Same time.
Yeah games are so large these days, and even my 240GB SSD is always near full.
Ordered 500GB one this week, so hopefully that lasts for few years. (Will probably remove one 2TB HDD and keep two SSDs) and use 2TB HDD for backups via dock.
Well, many of animes were glitched yesterday, having series packs with all seasons for 50 cents. So I doubt will happen again (Sadly only saw that Bloodivores in time.)
Until 4th iirc.
