Totally agree... And I would say the same for Origin too. It's kinda useless and I would take steam over it anyday but it's innofensive.
G4WL really was terrible tho.

My main bugbear with Uplay is that if I launch a game from steam it does not launch the game instead it launches the damn Uplay launcher and I have to launch the game from that thing.
May not seem like a deal breaker but I usually launch a game then nip off to the loo or get a drink so when I get back the game is loaded. However with the Uplay crap I launch a game from steam and when I come back I find I have to launch the damn game from Uplay.
As such I make it a practice to NOT buy Ubisoft games anymore
Thats because of the Wii U boycott thread taking over the discussion for that game.
I have a secret admirer? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt
To be fair, I haven't interacted with it that much, I think only Assassin's Creed 2 and recently Rayman Legends, but there was no real grievances on either occasion. The fact that Rayman Legends, every launch past the first while it opens uPlay, completely skips all interaction with it and jumps you right into the game, you barely even see uPlay before it's gone.
Overall though I do understand your reasons for not wanting to use it, but would that position change if, like Rayman Legends, uPlay jumped you straight into every game directly at launch? (I'm not trying to sway your opinion, just curious).

Just in case anyone is interested, Gamefly has Transformers: Fall of Cybertron for $19.97. With the GFDSEP20 20% off coupon, it makes the final price $15.83. Pretty good for a game that rarely goes on sale.
Steam redeemable, of course.

I lost precious card idling time there.
Sweet! Thanks for this. Still being $60 on Steam a year later is crazy stuff :/
But it's 8:18

Looks like they fixed the Zeno Clash thing, I got the 33% off coupon but no copy of Zeno Clash. Waste of time basically.
Edit: Store page says I own it, but it's not in my library.

Yes.
It went down while I was trying to restart so I'm kind of caught in some form of limbo where I can't sign on at all. It just gets stuck at the connecting screen.

How some of you made it through the PSN network's downtime after being hacked, I'll never know.

No prob. I almost bit at $19. Glad I held off a little longer until I came across the coupon.

Whilst I am not a big fan of additional DRM clients I appreciate the ship has sailed on that battle (Uplay and Origin are here to stay unfortunately). However if I am going to be forced to use these clients then I don't want to have to interact with them unless I want too. If I launch a game from Steam I expect the game to launch. If Uplay started up and automatically launched the game I would find that "acceptable". It would be a nice bonus if Uplay and other clients were to close down once I have finished playing the game as well (something that probably will not happen).
The last game I bought from Ubisoft was Farcry 3 I think I played it twice, the second time I thought "sod this" and never touched it again because of having to use the damn Uplay launcher. Now Ubisoft may have changed it since Farcry 3 I dunno, but I don't want to risk wasting my money till I know for sure.
You should be able to launch games just fine.
Two in fact! Rayman and Splinter Cell.

What was there to play anyway, Killzone? I think I was taking a break with SF4 at the time as I was waiting for the next iteration to come out anyway.

OFFLINE MODE ENGAGED.
I think people couldn't play some downloaded games, too. I think Capcom games were particuilarily affected.

Bummer, the uplay unlockables for Rayman Legends are just lums(5000, 7000, and 1000). Haven't started yet but I suppose you use them for more characters?
I have to say Lords of Shadow held up really well, still a great game. Made even better with 60fps and I'm pretty sure it got some better textures too. I don't remember some of the areas having such sharp textures on PS3.
I was not pleased with the DLC though. First time I got to play them and they're too short, not very fun and the part of the ending of the main game that they explained in the first DLC was pretty lame. The boss fight was kind of a pain in the ass too. Why make part of the fight require you to jump and hit a spot when there's no aerial dodge or block in the combat system? It means I have to hit the guy 1 or 2 times in a row before I have to land and dodge his next 6 attacks. Frustrating to say the least.

This is even cheaper over here, £8 on UK Gamefly.
Edit: With the GFDSEP20UK coupon

listen to the mad man
wow good thing the game requires uplay, i'm so glad steam is getting more competition that are going to force them to innovate on featureset.
Pretty much. Considering most / all of them are just reskins of the teensies, globox and rayman, and the highest unlock is at 1 million lums, the rewards are pretty much a drop in the proverbial ocean. Still every little helps I guess if you were aiming to get that many.

Is there a way to map screenshots to a controller on steam without using the awful big picture mode?
