Wait until amazon has it on sale again. They put it up for like $2 every so often.

it's very much worth it, and as others have said, wait for the daily deal.
one playthrough took me ~7 hours (undetected, no augs, no weapons). need to go through again terminator style.
Yeah I watched a few videos of the startup sequence on youtube and I knew that I had to get the game. I really love this crazy complicated stuff where I have to sit down and learn how to use it.

I pretty much own the entire Squenix library, bought it all piecemeal over the years. The only games I don't own are Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, Front Mission Evolved, the first Just Cause (I have the second) and Dungeon Siege 3. Think I'll buy Dungeon Siege 3.
You're a fool if you do.

Guardian of Light is a pretty good game. You should definitely consider getting that too.
Are you sure? I had to use Xpadder to get if working.
Not really odd at all. Eidos has clearly morphed into the jewel of the Square Enix portfolio.

Hitman! I already own them. :|
Expecting a Deus Ex day with a good deal on HR. Maybe double dip on TR: Underworld.

£39.99? Are they taking the piss? The only other non-limited edition PC games that have cost that much have been the CoD games.

So how does the multiplayer in Dungeon Siege 3 work? I know that "guest" players can't import their own character (terrible idea), they just use one of your party characters that would otherwise be controlled by the ai and they can choose to always use that one character. Do they level up that character in your game? Is there any sort of reward for the guest player?
Basically how does multiplayer work in DS3.

It's really fucking good and it lasts at least like, 1/4th or so of the base game.
Yes, I'm sure I played it with the 360 pad and I never use 3rd party controller apps. Not sure if it gave the right button prompts though.

They level the character they play just like the host does, but the character is locked to the hosts save. The guest can change character at the start of a session and then the new character starts at the same level as the host and the points can be allocated whereves the guest wants.
Guests are rewarded with nothing other than some of the achievements.

Thanks. I've got a few friends that might bite at 15$ and I think it would be mainly for the coop experience.

Still not worth it.
Nah it's pretty Neat.

It's pretty much the worst game I've ever bought. Lifeless at every turn, underwhelming in every field. If I missed something, then I'll be happy to re-assess it, but I'm quite certain I didn't. I wouldn't recommend dropping a buck on it, let alone five.

I played Front Mission Evolved last year and thought it was just okay, and kept thinking how much time could be better spent playing something else. Didn't stop me from finishing it though, haha. I think my problem was that I kept wishing I was playing an actual Front Mission game rather than a third-person shooter.

Yeah, I'll probably never play the game in single-player so being my friends bitch didn't really bother me. There isn't a new game + either (it's not really built around the concept in terms of leveling) so there I'm not really sure how they could give something to co-op guests.

It's not, but depending on your level of curiosity (mine was HIGH), it might be worth discovering that it is shit.
Battlestations Midway & Pacific look cool.

Assassin's Creed III store page is up:

Strange that it is appearing this early.

That's normally a sign that its steamworks. Could Ubisoft finally be learning?
Hopefully this time it'll stick

Steamworks + TAGES...
Maybe with a combined Origin-GFWL account required for each of 3 non-revokable always-online installations. :^P

That's ridiculous. Tages on the first one, and price-gouging on the second. They can get fucked.
I think it's more that the competition has it up for pre-sell and now Valve is paying heed.
I'm really fucking hating this growing trend of super expensive PC games.
Hell £24.99-29.99 was the standard just last year, now everyone is doing it. Diablo 3 is £44.99 on Blizzard's website and Guild Wars 2 is £49.99 for digital standard
an absolute joke
They raised the MSRP at the start of the Winter Sale, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

If Ubisoft starts using steamworks, I'll take back every bad thing I've ever said about them.
And yeah, I can't remember ever seeing a store page this early for a non-steamworks game.

One of the few games I've finished so far in 2012, but only because it's like four hours long. It's a very average third person shooter, but I dug the Michael Mann vibes and the disorientating handheld camera effects. I set the difficulty to Easy and just enjoyed the ride. I think it's worth playing at $5, but not much more.
I second this. It's not by any means a good game, and I don't think the visual experience makes up for how unsatisfying everything is in the game, but if you're looking for a visual trip, 5 bucks is fair. Multiplayer had a lot of promise, too, but there were so many lagspikes that it was borderline unplayable.
