Support NeoGAF

[microtubule]

Well damn you. I had pretty much ignored that game so far, watched the trailer, noticed Eurogamer 10/10, positive from RPS and now I have yet another game on my backlog. Although I'm pretty sure this one will jump the queue.

Well hopefully it will be worth it. It looks and sounds bloody good as well!

I just got my Steam key from getgamesgo.com but hasn't gone live yet on Steam.

I want to play BioShock 2's DLC, Minerva's Den, this is proving to be a surprisingly difficult task. It's not on Steam, I asked a friend, he said it was only on GFWL, I looked on there, and I can't find it there either. Anyone know what's up with it?

You live in the UK, right? This should work.

If I buy Bio2 on Steam, can I install the DLC if I can buy it elsewhere?

Yeah, just download it via the GFWL client and then run the game from Steam.

Thanks guys.

Woo Asscreed sale, now if only I wasn't so poor ;_;

Winter sale... Thats what I am telling myself. That and hopefully AssCreed: Rev will be cheaper by then as well.

I don't think I've ever seen an AssCreed for less than $5, and I don't think Ubi-Soft will ever value it any less than that.

Let me put it this way. You can go to the Amazon or gog.com forums right now and find threads where people have the exact same problems with Steam that you have with Uplay. And I mean the exact same problems... why do I need to launch a client to play my game, why do I have to see a storefront when trying to play my game etc. They call Steam cancerous to PC gaming and want it to die, just like you seem to want Uplay to disappear. So what argument would you give those people that applies to Steam but doesn't work for Uplay?

Prices and quality of service (as in number of games, not being locked to one publisher) but mostly prices The same qualities I'd advocate in a potential "digital vs physical" debate, actually.
Also, one service is ok, one service inside another is annoying. I would be pissed off if I had to click "Launch" on Steam too for a game I purchased on Origin (just making an example here).

I don't want uPlay to disappear by the way, the more competition the better for gamers. I just don't like different launchers for a single game bought on a digital store, it's already annoying when Steam starts updating DX and stuff every single time a newly installed game is launched without having to log-in, update and stuff like that another service. I don't know, would it be so hard to cut the whole uPlay thing at least on the Steam version of a Ubisoft game? I'm not an expert so genuine question here.

I don't think Brotherhood will get cheaper, and 5$ is kinda hard to pass up.. Anyone know if the deluxe edition is worth it?

 

[JordanKZ]

I wonder why AC3 isn't available for pre order in the UK...

 

[atomico]

Assassins Creed collection is kinda tempting. Is anybody still playing multiplayer?

 

[DSmalls84]

How is the Brotherhood PC Port? 360 controller support? Does it use U-Play?

 

[xenoflux2113]

I don't think Brotherhood will get cheaper, and 5$ is kinda hard to pass up.. Anyone know if the deluxe edition is worth it?

Well by that time Rev might be cheaper since 3 will be out then.

I picked up the deluxe version of Brotherhood in the summer sale when it was 7.50 then. the extra stuff is nice but i personally haven't used it other then the armor.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Canadian games, eh? I wonder what they'd be about!

EDIT: Ah I already have most of them.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Krater intrigued me during the summer sale....but i was waiting for a few more updates to roll out.

anyone know if its still as terribad as the metricritic ratings?

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Revelations DLC not on sale

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Elite Soldier Pack is out.

It's a good port. 360 pad flawlessly supported. uPlay is there.

 

[JaseC]

You'd think that an AssCreed Midweek Madness would coincide with Ubi finally opening up Steam pre-orders, but apparently not.

 

[Shorty11857]

How much is AC:R in the US?

 

[Volcynika]

How much is AC:R in the US?

$14.99

 

[Shorty11857]

$14.99

Anyone in the US willing to gift it to me if I paypal in advance?

And is the gold edition worth it if I only care about Single Player?

 

[tjohn86]

Can't say no to brohood for $5

 

[Stallion Free]

So, including the DLC this time around, that's ~50 hours for everything, which means, all up, the game and/or Uplay had been idling for the very same amount of time. That's... ridiculous, I'll admit.

Do you walk everywhere? I did everything short of maybe 20 feathers and my save was 37 hours. I certainly didn't rush. DLC is built into the PC release, you can't avoid playing that.

damn it's tough for me to say no as well

to anyone who has played ass creed on the pc, how is keyboard and mouse?

 

[fallagin]

Ac:r is still too much for me to consider buying.

 

[Echoplx]

It can take a while to get used to but once you get the hang of it it works well enough.

No, but I did swim a lot.

Yeah, but my post (as in the one I quoted) refers to the PS3 version, not long after the game released (i.e. there was no DLC at the time). I should've made that clearer, I suppose.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Assassin's Creed sale again? That ACIII marketing in full effect /sarcasm

 

[Firebrand]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Elite Soldier Pack is out.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/209811/

€4,49? That's ridiculous for for a color picker, a hairdo and some alternate armor models.

I make good use of the colors but that's really not something that should have been DLC.

 

[jediyoshi]

Was about to complain that the lost archive dlc wasn't on sale, then realized i owned it ]:

 

[Tomodachi]

Revelations is awfully overpriced in my eurozone (IIRC Euro2). 20€ (=25$) vs 15$, ew.

Spoiler

Good thing I bought it during summer sale, lol

On the other hand, AC1 is cheapest here. Weird regional pricing there, Ubi.

 

[RionaaM]

Origin doesn't seem to have auto-updates.

When I 'bought' those free games from them, I had to go track down patches and high resolution texture packs from Bioware.com for the Dragon Age and Mass Effect games.

How can you tell if they are updated or not? Do I have to manually download all patches for each Dragon Age?

 

[Caerith]

Krater intrigued me during the summer sale....but i was waiting for a few more updates to roll out.

I enjoyed Krater, but understand why it gets down-rated. It's a loot game but you only have 15 levels before you cap; however, it isn't about grinding to level 60 or whatever so much as it is about customizing your characters and their skills with implants. Like, a regulator has an area slow skill, but you can make it heal allies or damage enemies or boost stats or whatever: you have a lot of flexibility in how you build and customize your 3-man/mutant team. I think the low scores are just from people who dont get it.

Krater also has an excellent soundtrack, and it's pretty funny like only a post-Apocalyptic Sweden can be.

(Granted, I never finished. Alpha Bjorn is pretty brutal.)

Does AssCreed Bro support a gamepad?

 

[Stallion Free]

Wired 360 pad is flawless for every AssCreed game.

 

[Tess3ract]

All of them do.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

$5 AssCreed Bro here I come! I'll sit on Revelations, though. Don't want to burn myself out on too many AssCreed games before III comes out in November.

 

[NervousXtian]

WTF is this?

 

[JaseC]

And on that note, those with the wireless X360 controller need to download this for it to function correctly. Apparently, fixing something as simple as a device ID is a job for Ubi's Too Hard Basket.

 

[Abomination]

Seems like you just have to have some more downloading to do

Give it some time. Steam has been janky today.

I tried that shit and could never remap my 360 controller :\

How did you activate it? I remember getting that a while ago when I redeemed via the email that is sent.

 

[Giard]

I've only played a bit of the first AssCreed, thought it was kinda repetitive.
Would it be okay to skip that one and buy AC2 and AC:Brotherhood? Or will I be missing a huge part of the story?

Also, is there DRM?

 

[Echoplx]

The story is a horrible mess so it doesn't matter anyway.

 

[Ledsen]

How is the AC2 port? Recently visited Venice irl and feel like replaying it

 

[Derrick01]

Wired 360 pad is flawless for every AssCreed game.

It works perfect but I'm pretty sure the icons don't show up in the game which is pretty annoying. No idea if they fixed that for Revelations, that's the only one I haven't played on PC.

 

[JaseC]

The default controls are fine for me so I never thought to test that. You can change the button associations by editing x360ce.ini, although you'll want to make a note of the defaults so you know which number refers to which particular button.

Assassin's Creed 2 is much better than 1. AC1 is a fairly short game if you just rush through it, you could just watch some of the story on youtube but you won't miss much

 

[snoopeasystreet]

2 or BroHo?
