[Yaska]

started playing more rayman origins. Good grief, this is one of the prettiest games I've ever played.

 

[JaseC]

Really satisfied with the AC:Brotherhood PC port, runs flawlessly so far and 1080p is really showing for itself with that level of ambient detail, I played the first two games on my now defunct 360 so I'm really seeing a huge improvement here.

Yeah, playing through Revelations on the PC was a (terrible pun alert) revelation, as the previous games I'd all played on the PS3. Now that I own all the AC games on the PC (thanks again for helping me out with Brotherhood, wilflare!), I plan to play through them prior to AC3's PC release.

[AndyD]

It's arguably the worst entry in the series, and I say that as someone who loves the games and even managed to squeeze every drop out of Revelations' SP campaign (~78 hours all up).

Revelations is the only one I have left and I have it for PS3. I think I will go through it though, just for the sake of it. I am looking forward to 3, hopefully it will be a significant difference/upgrade.

 

[Visualante2]

Kind of a bummer that Superbrothers Sworcery will be on sale on iPhone but not the Steam version.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, as I later clarified, the problem with Revelations is that it felt stale, despite Ubi's attempts to freshen up the gameplay. AC3 should be a return to form, however. In fact, with no Half-Life 3 in sight and BioInf being delayed into early 2013, I'd say it's the 2012 title I'm most looking forward to.

 

[DarkSoul520]

The "Because We May" sale sounds awesome, but sadly I already own the majority of the games on that list. Feels like a prelude to next month's Summer sale.

God I can't wait for the Summer sale. It sounds crazy to be so excited for games going on sale, but its too much fun.

I hope Revelations expanded on the building, assassin recruitment/missions and regions/influence elements of Brotherhood. It was a system I very much enjoyed while the main story was already same as 2. Its something that can really enhance a game like this.

 

[StuBurns]

Looking forward to playing QUBE.

 

[Volcynika]

Anno 2070 50% off http://store.steampowered.com/sale/ubi_weekend2012

 

[Glass Rebel]

For anybody considering Anno 2070

It has Solidshield DRM and a 3 machine limit

God I can't wait for the Summer sale. It sounds crazy to be so excited for games going on sale, but its too much fun.

I can't feel the hype yet, especially because I think I won't get any good deals on most of the stuff I really want. Hoping for something sub-10€ for Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate.

 

[CecilRousso]

Anno 2070 50% off http://store.steampowered.com/sale/ubi_weekend2012

Good prize, seems like a good game, but unacceptable DRM. No purchase.

 

[Aaron]

One game for the final day? What the shit is this? Bah.

 

[Manager]

One game for the final day? What the shit is this? Bah.

Very weird decision. It also costs much less than that in physical stores here.

 

[Zimbardo]

i was hoping to see the Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell series as the daily today.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Anno will be bought when its $7.50.

 

[Yaska]

well, guess I'll wait for HAWX some more. kinda bleh, the anno deal.

 

[Baha]

Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity daily, 50% off/$9.99

 

[spindoctor]

Was hoping for a deeper discount on Driver SF Guess I'll have to wait till the summer sale now.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Anno's price really is still too expensive.

 

[Gully State]

Ubi, I really want Anno 2070 but will not purchase until you get rid of that shitastic DRM.

 

[legacyzero]

Was hoping for a deeper discount on Driver SF Guess I'll have to wait till the summer sale now.

Me too (

Hopefully we'll see it hit $5 or $10 in june.

 

[Bentendo]

The trailer for Anno 2070 looked really fun but is it worth it for someone who hasn't played anything in the genre for ages. For what it's worth I like relaxing city-sims. Games like SimCity and CivCity Rome were right up my ally. Even something like Stronghold's relaxing fightless mode was fun.

 

[iavi]

Same. I've been waiting for POP 2008 to drop for a while now.

I have similar question. I like Civ V and Sim City but RTS style games and even real time strategy games like Tropico are not my cup of tea. Will like this?

The issue is more about DRM

 

[Aselith]

Anno 2070 is a fantastic game. Definitely worth it at full price. Definitely worth it at half price! Much more based around the city building than warfare although you can get into fights with the other cities.

wat

 

[Kabouter]

Anno's price really is still too expensive.

I can't stress how much it isn't. It's a steal.

 

[iqubal]

slighty off topic but does anyone have any 4 packs of torchlight 2 going atm? I'de be in for a slot!

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

I can't stress how much it isn't. It's a steal.

I love the Anno series and really want Anno 2070, but any game that has 'always online' requirements that negatively affect gameplay if you lose connection to their servers are not worth more than the price of a rental IMO.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's the DRM that's killing it.

I wouldn't mind buying it right now if it has no DRM.

 

[Waku]

So is Sins: Rebellion like going from CiV 3 to CiV 4 or is there something else to it compared to Trinity. Should one wait for Rebellion to get cheaper or jump on Trinity. I want Sins but i can just as well wait till it gets cheaper if Rebellion is Sins just better.

Also god damnit when will Ubi put the Settler catalouge up for one of these daily super cheap deals, been waiting for ever to buy Rise of an Empire, but xept for Splinter Cell, Ghost recon and Persia they don't seem to care about their back catalouge enough to bring out the real deep discounts for those.

Heh, I managed to snag Settlers 7 Gold when it was uber cheap (I think 10 or 5 bucks). When was the last time it went in daily?

Speaking of sales, is it possible for an unreleased game (i.e. Torchlight 2) to go in summer sale?

 

[Aselith]

I can't stress how much it isn't. It's a steal.

Tell em, Kabouter! This game is the shit, guys, pick it up.

 

[Glass Rebel]

It's fucking ironic that they're selling DLC called The Financial Crisis Package.

 

[Boss Doggie]

That may be the case, but when I tried to buy via paypal, the paypal screen looks like this

wtf happened? is there a way to clear cache, since refreshing doesn't fix it.

Uh, no. That would be pretty dumb to do.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hahaha oh well, was hoping though!

Still, I can't move myself to buy anything with the paypal page looking like that.

 

[QuantumBro]

Are you using a custom skin, if so you might need to update it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nope, not using any custom stuff.

Clearing cache via deleting htmlcache didn't seem to work too. But it seems I can still pay.

EDIT: seems like it's on the paypal's side at least. Their site loads slow for me.

 

[Sysgen]

My Steam store and friends icons on the Windows task bar are white and blue?

 

[Phife Dawg]

Yeah, I only buy uplay/DRM stuff from Ubi at below 10.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Mine was doing the same thing yesterday, but it will be normal once you log in.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I honestly wouldn't mind paying 25 bucks for anno, but not with that drm.

Also I can finally uninstall Impulse forever and never log in again. Thank god. Sins is mine on steam now!

Fake edit: Haven't bought demigod yet >.<
