The Dwarves is 50% off. I might pick it up. How long is it? Worth $22?

 

[volsung]

Well got The Dwarves and, finally, Tyranny. I'm looking forward to "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice". That's enough games for the rest of the year.

Well got The Dwarves and, finally, Tyranny. I'm looking forward to "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice". That's enough games for the rest of the year.

I just finished Tyranny a couple of weeks ago. It was a little different than what I expected, but I still enjoyed it. A new update just came out today with ng+ and a respec option. The character I started for the other story parts will be scrapped

Well got The Dwarves and, finally, Tyranny. I'm looking forward to "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice". That's enough games for the rest of the year.

From what I could gather both The Dwarves and Hellblade are more on the medium side of things length-wise, though.

No thanks, I'll pass.

And so should everyone else or at least hold off until it's 95% off or free, like the portrait pack should have been from the start, back in April.

Don't support this lunacy and spend your shillings on something else instead (like the fucking magnificent Brigador or StarCrawlers, for instance). It'll feel so much better taking your coppers to Stellar Jockeys, resp. Juggernaut Games than to greedy old swine Paradox.

 

[Glaroug.531]

@schinderhannes.999

ng+, is free.

A free patch adds New-Game-Plus mode and character re-spec options for an easier way to explore other plotlines.

But you are absolutely right about the new dlc.

 

[volsung]

Wait, there is payed DLC for Tyranny? Damn that's bullshit.

Played like 30 mins of The Dwarves a few nights ago and it was a lot of fun.

 

[schinderhannes.999]

One would think that they'd have learned from the overwhelmingly negative response to the ridiculousness of actually charging money for a bunch of portraits, but I guess Paradox will just carry on applying their nickel-and-dime DLC schemes to every Intellectual Property and franchise they own.


In other news - the next formerly-plagued-with-Denuvo title has found its way to gog.com:

The only platform I get games from these days, you've got to love the general commitment and pro-consumer attitude.
I hope that it doesn't take another 10 years or so until the big time publishers offer their new titles through gog in a more timely manner relative to the release date.
