The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

I've been looking at it too, but I don't want to drop the £70 it would take to get the base Tamriel Unlimited plus DLC and Morrowind. I know you can get a cheaper version of Tamriel Unlimited but there doesn't seem to be an option on Steam to get the other DLC unless you go straight it for the Gold edition. To be honest I don't actually find the Steam store pages very clear on what you need to buy to have all content. I certainly don't want a 'pay forever' membership version. 

More Life is Strange can only be a good thing though I am concerned a prequel will be inherently less interesting because there's no justifiable way to include the time travel element, which is a big part of what made Life is Strange so great.

Metro: Exodus will be a essential purpose for me. I loved the first two games and the Redux definitely did some wonders to 2033 (though the PC version does have some issues last time I played). Last Light was always excellent, Redux or not. Man, now I want to revisit those games.

Steam sale is inbound in 10 days I believe. I've got my eye on a few titles but I don't want to go crazy with money this time: I've bought a lot of music lately which all adds up. There are a few titles I have my eye on if the price cut is right though.

This is pretty much where I expected the expansions to Dishonored 2 to go, though the stand-alone status is unexpected. 

Hope it performs better than the base game at launch. 

I'm trying an uninstall and complete reinstall of Dishonored 2 without the beta patch to see if that makes a difference, but I've not got my hopes up. The weird thing is that several people on Steam are saying this latest patch fixed everything...yet it (or maybe even the last one I never tested) fucked it up for me. It's not unplayable (it never was for me) and my worse drop is actually in a cutscene (the skiff ride in mission 2), but it is really frustrating. I'm kind of dreading getting to A Crack in the Lab on this run because that mission was always the worst for frame drops, when using the Time Piece. 

Would you believe that the game now runs worse for me? FPS drops that were previously fixed are back with a vengeance and I've had to knock all settings down to get close to a stable 60FPS again. I have checked and I am still opted into the beta patch, so this is pretty mind-boggling. 

Right now I'm playing The Surge, which is basically another developer trying to make "Sci-Fi Dark Souls". The actual combat is really good and being able to dismember different body parts for loot is cool, but the enemy placements have been really harsh in a not at all fun way that Souls games usually do a much better job with, and the game is already testing my patience, with how every aspect of it seems to be slightly stacked against you. I'm still having some fun with it, but compared to Dark Souls it definitely feels more like it's trying to be hard for the sake of it rather than being challenging in a fun way.
