I have and want to play 3 games that require Uplay, I'm so scared of it, I haven't even tried, even for HoMM 6 :(
Too many horror stories are loose on internets. And really... why, oh why Ubi thought it's good idea, I'll never understand.
Odin bless gog daily.

I'm actually in the same boat.

Fuck it, Ubi obviously doesn't want my money that badly. Too bad I will miss out on The Division, hopefully Destiny crosses over and fills a similar void.

I had blasphemous idea, how much BioInf would be better if it was an adventure game, it even looks like one! I mean nicely.

Is it better to sell holiday cards asap or keep them hoping the value picks up eventually?

I'm looking at my summer sale card and they are still worth less than dirt =/

Should have been an FPRPG, then the combat would've been a bit more forgivable I think.

edit: I really like FPRPGs though.

Even if you buy it on Steam, it will run through Uplay.

Yes but it patches correctly on Steam and avoids the useless jank and hoops Ubi makes you jump through. I'm having to manually download 3 patches from their 56k server and install them one by one on top,of each other. It's like it's the bloody 90's

UBI and EA games are pretty much console only for me now.
Pull network cord before I start playing and go with a minimum of hassle.

Well with Origin you may be selling your soul to the devil but at least EA come up with the goods. Uplay causes all the problems people still associate with PC gaming. Is a fragmented mess of a system.

Hey, if Telltale can turn Borderlands into an adventure game, I imagine they could do amazing things with Bioshock Infinite. There's a lot more for them to work with, for starters.

I prefer third person actually, and it has RPG elements, kinda. I still think it would make a good adventure game, but then again... big devs-publishers making huge and shiny adventure game?! How ridiculous is that! :(

you have a point!
I still can't believe they are making borderlands adventure game (><)

Yeah, about that, that was not my experience with Assassin's Creed 3 on Steam. uPlay client still gave me issues.

As I said it's not fit for purpose. Here's their SC Community Developers response on their own forums.

Hey guys...

So it turns out we're having some issues with the PC version and the Patch auto-Installer.

First off... this does not effect anyone who purchased the game via Steam.
Any other PC version (disc or digital) needs to MANUALLY install the patch.

That was posted in the 8th of August and guess what it's still not fixed on their end. The Steam distribution on the other hand doesn't have this issue (though there are a few others). Why they bother I don't know.

Unless they are awards for crafting badges only, I don't see prices rising, only dropping.

Also for the person who wins Hero Academy, I jut noticed there was a Gold Pack Content code included at the bottom, so I'll send that to you in a PM.

I won't be entering, so I won't win them, can I say thank you anyway..?

Thanks :)

Gasp, you discovered a way around my rule.
I appreciate it.


It had me at "3D action game that allows you to leap and climb through sprawling levels as a ninja rabbit".

The only thing I could ask for is the ability to mod in Usagi Yojimbo skins.

Overgrowth looks awesome, shame it's usually related to furries.

I know. I was tempted to preface my post saying I'm not a furry, but some of that fur-art is just too good.

Same not a furry, and actually find that sub-culture extremely weird, and somewhat broken, along with the whole MLP thing.

I hope this game does well, looks amazing in terms of combat techniques and modding capabilities.
 
Here is an LITTLE INFERNO key embedded in the post. Humble gift keys are so much more annoying than their usual keys, WHY HAVE THEY DONE THIS.

and thanks KarmaCow for Garry`s Mod. The title has evaded me for years.

I went to play the Walking Dead Season 1 DLC the other day but it looks like my saves disappeared when I moved over to a new hard drive.

I was really looking forward to season 2 but now I don't care as much anymore.
