Watch Dogs ends with Desmond stepping out of the Animus. Aiden is a future descendant of the brotherhood of Assassins.

We have a new IP...let's run the mother into the ground.
Will the twist be that you are actually a time traveler from the past with super hacking skills you got from who knows where?

If it takes place in a European city next time, I'm ok with it.

Here's a prize up for grabs:
What is the most underrated game on Steam that no one plays?
Could be gameplay/mechanics/story/visuals - but tell us why.
Winner chosen at 1800GMT (3+ hours from this post.)
Fortix ($0.99) and Fortix 2 ($1.99)
They are simple games but highly addictive. They are a lot like the 80's game Qix, in that you separate pieces of the map with lines that follow your character. If you're able to make it to another part of what the game calls the base line then you gain back a section of the map and trap any enemies or forts trapped within. It starts off really easy and ramps up smoothly, with the last stages presenting a welcome challenge. It's hard not to recommend both games for how cheap they are but the second improves on almost everything in the original, including a new graphics style, the addition of puzzle elements like keys and gates, and more levels and enemies. Again, these are short games that are cheap and, as a bonus, will get your Steam cards too, which is nice. They might even pay for themselves.
Have Assassin's Creed sales numbers kept up over the years? If yes, then I could definitely see a brand crossover, though that would also depend on WatchDogs doing well itself.
At this pace we should be able to get to 9 threads.
I'm just lucky I am not particularly interested in any of Ubi's properties.
Don't have to deal with Uplay.
judging by my games, it has to be Prime World: Defenders, only Xelios and I play it, I think. Dunno why, because it's an enjoyable game and I like basically everything about it, can't even begin to guess why nobody plays it.
Does it qualify?
AssCreed 3 is actually the best-selling title of the franchise, which is undoubtedly why there's a "4" present in Black Flag's full title.

Bad Rats.

That's so sad lol
Bad Rats is a great game. I personally love the soundtrack and listen to it all the time.
I'm joking

Thanks, Baron.
Detective/Steam RegistryGAF, does the name of said entry indicate that this might be a full fortnight-long Humble Bundle (Focus certainly have a whole raft of options that could be added at the mid-point), or could it merely be a weekly sale thing?
Ulterior motive for asking: wondering how (if at all) this might impact the timing of that mysteriously elusive X bundle.

Not even interested in Child of Light or Valiant Hearts?

If you're going to repeat news that was just posted, at least include the Sherlock Holmes.
I would like to know this too, fellow GAFfer.
EDIT: Answered above, thanks!
Also, is the time between "found this Bundle on Registry" to "Bundle is live now" a short time?
None of those games have cards. Can anyone speak to their quality?
Word of warning to those who are planning on buying Amazon's Tomb Raider/Sleeping Dogs/Hitman Absolution pack (paging Grief.exe):
I bought mine about half an hour ago and the Tomb Raider key says it's a duplicate. The Sleeping Dogs and Hitman keys worked, though.
Fake edit: it looks like the bundle is offline regardless. They're probably fixing it now.

Prime World: Defenders is on my wishlist, due to Xel's review, and I'll definitely pick it up one day... but price (I don't think it's dipped under $10 yet) and a lack of word-of-mouth might've been barriers to its success thus far.
Looks like a very solid title with high production values that warrants more attention, but perhaps it has simply suffered due to a general malaise regarding anything labelled 'tower defence'?

I knew hemming and hawing over Divinity II when it was on sale last week would pay off.
Here are some numbers:
Assassin's Creed: 8 million as at April 2009
Assassin's Creed II: 9 million as at February 2010
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: 7.2 million as at May 2011
Assassin's Creed Revelations: 7 million as at February 2012
Assassin's Creed III: 12 million as at February 2013
While interest in the franchise certainly waned circa Brotherhood and Revelations, I think it's quite likely that all the numbered entries are over 10m at this point.

Very nice. I'll be picking it up for the BTA games and, so long as the keys are separate, I should be able to share Divinity II, Bloodbowl and Game of Thrones (presuming it's the RPG).
ACII and Brotherhood are the best games.
With those numbers, even if the initial Watch Dogs fails, they could shove it into a future AssCreed and help it that way.

Divinity is a reasonable RPG. There's a recent thread here.
I personally really enjoyed Game of Thrones. It's definitely lacking in polish, but if you can stick with it for the first four chapters or so, the story may well suck you in.
Bloodbowl is a decent adaptation of the tabletop game, so if you ever played that, you'll probably enjoy it. It's also fun if you can get a league going. If neither of those things are true, it's possibly not for you.

Yeah but what were the onlive numbers?
The lowest common denominator just buys things with numbers in the title.
Nice. I'll be getting just for that one game, I hope.

Nice i'll grab it just for Game of Thrones. You know is it me or does it seem that developers are doing sales on steam before doing a humble sale. It's funny that wait for the bundle is a actual thing now.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Oh, when will it come out? I have a feeling it's gonna be a weekly.
If it's a Weekly it'll be Thursday around 1 PM CST. If it's a true Humble Bundle, which I doubt (since most developer packs are the former), then it'll wait at least another week.

Cool. That's three I'll be able to share, then. It'll be nice to give something back.

Pid. It's an awesome platformer, with awesome graphics and very cool mechanics. The story is not that good, but it doesn't really matter at all.

Aren't most of those games in that Focus Humble Bundle choke full of Securom/TAGES DRM, does Humble Bundle even sell stuff like that?

Totally digging Borderlands, hits that Kingdom of Amalur 'one more mission before sleep' vibe. I can see why (some) people here hate it, sure, but it hits all the right spots for me. Would be my GOTY if I had friend to play with, I guess. Still a great experience.
I just wish the game didn't have respawning enemies (maybe in some select areas) - it would be a much tighter experience, if you wouldn't be able to grind.
