Did you have to download it first?

Wish I could just activate straight on uplay, internet doesn't seem to like impulse much, going pretty slow.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Just had a "problem downloading files". It's redownloading the whole thing.

What finely crafted piece of software.

 

[Silex]

What I mean is: create an account using that email. That's how I understand this to work.

I mean, gifting to someone without a Steam account would work much in the same way, wouldn't it?

It works, but Steam explains everything nicely.
Took a risk and created the account - and the games are indeed there.

Please beware; the code you buy for the extra content in the Deluxe-edition isn't usable with the normal edition it seems. Well, maybe it is, but it's the same as the key you use to install the whole game, so you'll waste a key on some extra DLC that could also unlock the entire game for a friend or something.

Quite a shame really, I would've enjoyed those monkey madness missions. Ah well, guess I'll just sell my key or give it to a friend now.

So... Is there a chance I have two usable Far Cry 3 serials right now?

 

[Twie]

Aw man, is the Farcry bundle price fixed? I would have loved to jump on that.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Yeah. Need to download it at first though.

 

[Rufus]

Chairmanchuck, how fast is your connection?

I assume it's less confusing if you're not gifting it to yourself, hehe.

 

[Bricky]

No, it just says 'you deluxe-edition unlock key is the same as the game's serial key' in a PDF or something. That would've been a nice suprise though.

 

[Silex]

No, it just says 'you deluxe-edition unlock key is the same as the game's serial key' in a PDF or something. That would've been a nice suprise though.

Oh, gotcha.

Yea, this sale is not THAT good.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Chairmanchuck, how fast is your connection?

Totally slow, but my friend played some FC3 on his Steamaccount a few days ago and I already had the game downloaded. Then I could just connect "my" steamlibrary with Uplay, it updated some files and I could type in the CD-Key.

 

[Nabs]

Must be nice.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Now its back to 80,00€

 

[Little Old Man]

Got in there just in time!

 

[Fxp]

OK, bought the game, should I download it through Game client to add it to uplay? I don't see an option to add key directly to uplay.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Yeah. Need to download it first, then add the key to Uplay, after installing the Game.

 

[Deques]

Now its back to 80,00€

Shame on those who didn't wanna exploit the pricing error ^^

 

[Chairmanchuck]

So. How do we activate the Deluxe-Key Thing?

 

[Bricky]

So. How do we activate the Deluxe-Key Thing?

Downloading it show the instructions. Basically just enter you serial under 'Extra Content' in-game.

 

[MrTeachwell]

I'm pretty sure I activated Far Cry 3 through UPlay when I got the code with my GPU?

I got my code with my GPU also and I seem to recall it being processed through the ubishop where I then had to wait 2 days for it to appear on my uplay account because their servers can take a while to register new purchases (I also waited 2 days when getting Driver SanFrancisco during their $1 deals).

 

[oipic]

Missed it by *that* much. Nice work though, guys - snagged yourselves an uber-bargain!

 

[Fxp]

Yeah. Need to download it first, then add the key to Uplay, after installing the Game.

Wait, I downloaded Game client and got the key. Do I need to download Farcry 3 as well?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Wait, I downloaded Game client and got the key. Do I need to download Farcry 3 as well?

Yeah. Download FC3, then connect it with UPlay and type in the Key. Then it should be in the UPlay-Library.

 

[Gueras]

The winter is coming guys

3 days for far cry 3 with 50%

 

[jediyoshi]

Just got hamlet for steam from ign prime..

damn you indie games!

 

[Glass Rebel]

I swear to god, Uplay/Far Cry 3 has the most broken update system ever. I regret buying it.

 

[Deques]

The name is stupid. Why did they name it like that?

 

[Whooter]

They're being "edgy."

 

[didamangi]

Got it just before they fixed it, thx for the heads up

Bump my uplay games count to a total of 5!

I swear to god, Uplay/Far Cry 3 has the most broken update system ever. I regret buying it.

My FC3 patch to 1.02 and then 1.03 after restart, it's annoying.

 

[Rufus]

I swear to god, Uplay/Far Cry 3 has the most broken update system ever. I regret buying it.

I didn't have any problems so far, but I'll gladly overlook some technical issues for an early 87% discount.

 

[RionaaM]

Try bookdepository.UK....don't have the link on me so you can Google the above, but they ship everywhere with no shipping fee and they're cheap.

I live in Canada and order from them all the time.

Interesting, didn't know about that site. It says they ship to my country free of charge, I'll investigate further when I have the time.

In the meantime, I started reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so between that and both Witcher games I think I have enough for the moment.

Spoiler

that won't prevent me from spending 3 or 4 paychecks on the Winter Seal, though

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I missed Far Cry 3? Geh. Was in a long game of Dota 2.

 

[Blablurn]

u missed far cry 1, 2 and 3 actually!

 

[FlutterPuffs]

u missed far cry 1, 2 and 3 actually!

Goddamnit. Argh nevermind. I'll get it next Sale. I'll get and play Dishonored first.

Hopefully Ubi's DRM is 'better' by then.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Strange. I can not actitvate the Deluxe-DLC-Key. It always says "The Key is wrong. Try again?"

 

[Milamber]

Try without the dashes.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Skyrim is 60% off at GMG.

Also Doom 3: BFG but eh.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Try without the dashes.

Which dashes?

 

[JaseC]

Skyrim is 60% off at GMG.

Also Doom 3: BFG but eh.

I'd grab D3 BFG if the 25% discount code stacked with its current discount.

 

[Raytow]

I'd grab D3 BFG if the 25% discount code stacked with its current discount.

Ditto for Skyrim, as it is I'll just wait for the winter sale 75% discount(wishful thinking)

 

[Little Old Man]

So I have to install the game through Impulse first, then that will connect up to my Uplay account?

No way to just enter the FC3 key straight into Uplay?

 

[Dingotech]

I had plenty of time to jump on that Far Cry 3 deal, but having to deal with impulse and Uplay seemed like a bad combination.

I'll just wait for it to be <$15 on Steam.

 

[MNC]

Was there a Walking Dead sale going on somewhere?

 

[Blablurn]

Was there a Walking Dead sale going on somewhere?

for sure during the winter sale

 

[Dingotech]

Just wanted to add that I just finished a 100% playthrough of Half-Life 2 and the game is still flapping awesome! (Played it years ago on my bro's account, and again on my 360)

Buy it if you don't have it.

It is one my fav's of all time. It's nuts how ahead of the curve it was when it game out like eight years ago. But some driving and gameplay sections have not exactly aged like fine wine.

Episode II however has basically no fat and everything feels as awesome now as it did years ago. For anyone replaying HL2, be sure to play the episodes as well... or least EP2. EP1 has its own issues and you'd be okay reading a story wiki and skipping it IMO.

 

[JaseC]

I told myself I wouldn't play through the Half-Life series until Half-Life 3 is around the corner and so far my resolve hasn't waned, although I had a close call recently when I started a game of Half-Life: Source but quit during the opening sequence.

 

[Seance]

Don't start talking like that. Will Skyrim be at least 60% off in the winter sale?

 

[Stallion Free]

If you already own the Doom games on Steam, I strongly suggest steering clear of the BFG edition. The new content (The Lost Missions) is slapped together and had no effort put in.

I still enjoyed the driving sections, takes me back to old school fun + old school frustration.
I love the way the game constantly mixes up the gameplay between sections, everytime you get comfortable they throw a new mechanic or enemy at you.

Eek! Don't wait forever man!

Nothing says "no effort" quite like "reused maps"!

^^ This

I bought The Secret World last night (fancied getting in on the whole end of days storyline, even if I am late to the party), and was playing it all morning... forgot to check this thread first.

Still, TSW is fun - looks a *lot* nicer graphically than it did in beta, and less laggy too. Think I'm going to spend this holiday season playing TSW non stop, just like I spent last year playing SW:TOR.

Congratulations to the people that got in on that bargain though
