Well worth it at that price.
Really want to get back into the game, but I want to do so with all the DLC.
The DLC doesn't seem to go on sale though and that's what's stopping me.

But if you get the base game for €7 then the DLC isn't so bad.

I'm exactly the same. I want to throw myself back into the game and have been watching strategy vids, etc, but I really want the DLC first.

I think there's a way to get Steam to run the 64bit version of the game, once you download the required files (won't link to the info as it contains the files, but it seems it can be done anyway)

Yep, I never played the series, so started it recently. Running 64Bit, and also increasing resolution to 2550x1440 was possible. Although I still can't get 160frames in it :P

If you haven't played Crysis 2 yet I'd recommend using some mods. If I remember correctly one of them makes it work for DX11 and punches up the graphics. It looked amazing.

Different type of game really, BB is more like a MOBA with the emphasis on co-op/PvE. The few people I know who played it said it's pretty good anyway, can't go wrong for that price really.

I've reaaly enjoyed it, snarky humour, cussing and all, definitely different from Overwatch. plus you can play alone

It would be rude not to for less than 3euro.:)
Cant be that bad.

Battleborn is a great fun game, it would have done better only it released and looked very close to Overwatch, but a different type of game. For that price it's a steal!

I had access to overwatch when it was only for blizzard employees and I played beta of battleborn too. I liked battleborn way more. It had more of a game and I liked characters more. Moba style was a lot more fun, then team fortress setup in overwatch.

Honestly, overwatch and hearthstone are the games I have zero interest and I am saying this as a complete blizzard fanboy.

I might pick up battleborn myself too, when I get of the drug called factorio.

Got it on release day, its very hard to find a multiplayer game nowadays with so few playing.
For example right now I'm in a queue for 16 mins for a quickmatch game

Skerries

HTC VIVE and RX 480 for $799

Wouldn't it be quicker to install from disc and activate on steam afterwards?

Not really,30mb/s dl from steam on a 240mb virgin line. Quicker than using the disc

The only thing on the disc is the installer for Steam

Picked it up this morning around noon. Thing is even though it was marked as €8 when I went to the counter they told me the price had gone up to €10!

Just checked my recipet,they for sure only charged me the €7.99 marked on the box. All i asked was that it was new and not a traded in copy and they said yes. I wonder does the price automatically change when a few copies are bought

Ah no i didnt think ye where,i just dont buy from there regularly so was just thinking out loud there really as to how it works. That must get really tiresome for staff as they would have to keep re labelling the games.

Looks like the US box is different than the EU box this time
$9.99 for 5 games worth over $80
