Does anyone know how to revert to the old Steam UI, or possibly other options for skins/launchers for Steam games? Can't stand this new layout and for some ungodly reason it doesn't seem to save your view settings so every time I launch it it reverts to showing me my entire library. Not very helpful :P

Does anybody feel like the Autum Sale is just making the Christmas Sale seem kinda...redundant?
Do people expect steeper discounts during the Christmas Sale which is less than a month away?
I mean, it's not like I'm complaining that there are too many sales or anything but none of the games on my wishlist are discounted enough where I would want to buy them and I don't expect that to change that three weeks from now. And it's not like the couple of big games that are coming out in the meantime, like Red Dead and Halo, are going to be discounted.

Again, not complaining about it, it just feels weird.

Bought Hitman 2 and the legacy pack to go through the original Hitman locations. It started me with Hawkes Bay which is a DLC? Where is the best starting point for the game?

Hawke's Bay is the start of Hitman 2 so that I'd say.
Unless you'd like to start with Hitman 1, in which case I would start with the tutorial missions for that game (should be the farthest left in the interface). The levels should be ordered according to how the story plays out, but if you go through that mode it should just pop you into the right one I'd think.

is it worth holding out for a better price on the Dishonored collection later this week?


Check if you have the first game's levels as DLC for the second game (look in the library entry not the store). Otherwise, maybe contact IOI support.

thanks- i just installed HITMAN and played the first level, signed up for an IOI account and linked it. now i'm installing 2. some of the steam reviews made it look like it unlocks after completing the first level of 2. will find out soon!

There are a bunch of games I've played this year that can't be nominated on Steam because of them being exclusive to other storefronts. That's the first time I can remember that happening.

I've played Metro Exodus, Rage 2, The Division 2, and The Outer Worlds. Gears5 did come out on Steam however.

(also this is a lame Steam sale)

(also also, I just got a mail for my month of EA Origin Access, lol)

Thanks. I'll finish up Hawkes Bay and then go back to the Hitman 1 content.

I've been watching a playthrough of Kings Field IV. Would love it if those came to PC. With a mod to pick up the pace of movement, I think they'd still play quite well today. Visually, this one at least holds up really well too. I bet the Dark Souls crowd would eat it up.

is it worth holding out for a better price on the Dishonored collection later this week?

That's a great price for those games. Between 1 and 2, I've played over 100 hours savoring every moment. Seems like it's also the lowest it's been. Solid pickup I'd think.

And yeah, I do vaguely recall some weirdness about having the original installed to get Hitman 2 to recognize it, now that you mention it. Hope that does the trick. Though, there is still content that's only in the OG version I believe.

Playing Death of the Outsider and seeing how well it runs makes me even more annoyed at how poorly optimised Dishonored 2 is. Such a shame especially when the first game ran great on a toaster.

probably a dumb question, but if i own HITMAN GOTY, why don't i own the GOTY Legacy Pack for 2 (i just bought 2 Gold Edition). the Legacy Pack description makes it sound like i should own it by default.

Same thing happened to me when I bought it awhile back. Have you launched Hitman 2 yet? I believe you need to do that before it is added: HITMAN Legacy Pack FAQ

Slim pickings this sale.

Good thing, I guess, since I just dropped a bunch of money on a Ryzen 3700x, GTX 1660ti, and a new mobo.

A lot of titles on my steam wishlist have a pretty nice discount but I'm not really looking for something to play right now - so I should wait for the christmas sale, right?

e.g.
  • RE2 at 67%
  • Crash Bandicoot collection at 50%
  • wolfenstein 2 70%!
  • Hover 70%
  • Southpark but whole 80%
  • Shenmue I&II 66%
  • Into the Breach 50%
Christmas will add up for sure but these deals look pretty darn good. Think they'll get even better?

We have a Capcom rep that posts here and he already said in another thread RE2 and DMCV aren't going lower, at least on Steam. So RE2 is a safe buy.

lol at this dumb glitch in jedi, got stuck on a ledge and couldn't jump off or do anything



The game is so fun, I almost never do much collecting in most games, but in this one even though the collectibles suck it's so much fun I am going for them all. at 95%

Yeah, it's weird how much better it runs. I had to resort to using the dynamic resolution option in Dishonored 2, and even then it couldn't maintain 60 FPS. With DotO I had no trouble at all on a 1060.

Half Life Alyx Trailer passes 8M views with 416K likes and 14K dislikes. I this safe to say that announcement was success. Now to see if that will translate to sales and if game will review well.

Cyber PowerPC or NZXT? I can get things like $100 cheaper on BF via CYberpower. But shipping is better on NZXT and the parts look a bit better. Warranty is better on cyberpower

My list


Wish I could nominate Sekiro for more things, but oh well.


Second that. Really good game, one of my better discoveries from PS+. Even though the PS3 version was a technical mess I still enjoyed it, so on PC it should be good.
if I suck at videogames should I buy Sekiro
I suck at video games and I bought Sekiro and beat it 4 times, so, sure?
