I bought it on Epic but fuck Epic because it needs Origin to launch before launching the game, while the Steam version does not. And then I have it on PS4. I only bought those other games as I'm slowly trying to own every single Star Wars game on PC. I've got a few more plus the Lego games to go. Although I am interested in Shadows of the Empire because I never played it back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Decided to pick up a few things Headlander - Only 2 bucks so why not? .hack//G.U. Last Recode - Been eyeballing it for a while, it's under $8 The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics - Not a super amazing deal but I'm a sucker for tactics games Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus & Youngblood - Originally I was going to go with Wolfestein II for $7.99 but they literally give you $4 to buy Youngblood too, so I added that on. ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : M∀RS - Pretty good deal and I never had this on PS2 Pyre - With all the Hades hype, I decided to pick this game up (instead of Hades I guess lulz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Black Friday and off-Steam sales included: Final Fantasy X/X-2 remaster Sunset Overdrive Recore Humble Choice December Hades (Switch) Mirrors Edge Catalyst + DLC KOTOR 1 & 2 For about $50 total. I'm probably good with that for now. Also got Ghosts of Tsushima as a gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Grabbed Half-Life Alyx, even though I still don’t have a card good enough to run it. Also got Tabletop Simulator, which seems like a good thing to just on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatAndPotatoes Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just came to say, i have 13 friends on steam who have mk11 on their wishlist, if you are interested at all, this is by far the best Mortal Kombat game ever. $15 GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 This is why I normally ignore Steam sales... I added these to my haul: Redout Grip Breakneck Shatter Lovecraft's Untold Stories Gloom Cryptark Xenon Valkyrie Mana Spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Spent a little more time digging around on Steam for anything appealing, but ended up going back to Epic for Journey to the Savage Planet for $5. Steam sale ends in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the Steam version just works in VR. I don't have to do any wonky shit to force it like I did with Epic. Got it to work wirelessly on the Quest as well, but the performance is not good - lots of stuttering. It's much smoother when connecting with a link cable. I'll probably have to upgrade my WiFi network to get better performance as I suspect it's the router. But the stuttering could also be a limitation of my video card's encoding capabilities; I haven't done any troubleshooting yet to find out.

It also a weird issue of randomly downgrading the speed of one of the 5 ethernet ports to 100mbps. Thought I fixed it a few years ago with custom firmware but in the last few months the issue has came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started randomly being slow for some wifi devices unless I disconnected and reconnected them, and eventually wouldn’t even connect via 2.4ghz (only the 5ghz worked). I guess these just start dying after x amount of years 🤷♂️ Anyway, I got an AC2900 (ASUS AC86U) in mid-2019 and it seems to be a lot better and more stable overall.

Yep I'm definitely looking to upgrade, but I can be patient to wait for a good deal. It's tough because I don't think I've ever paid more than $50 for a router, but the ones I'm looking at now that I would deem a worth upgrade are $150+. The price creep for these things are worse than Nvidia GPUs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM I did some asking around previously and this router was highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
