Can anyone help me get games from Nuuvem? It's not available in my region 
If the next AC won't be about Ninjas (Assassins) and Samurai (partly Templar), then I'm gonna be disappointed.

Maybe. Don't think that I've ever ended up hating a game I tried so hard to like quite as much as I have with RDR. Strangely though, despite the many problems with the gameplay and controls, the thing that ruined for me in the end was the the fact that, no matter what combination of TV and in-game settings I tried, the game always looked absolutely horrible at night. If some kind of ENB could get me over that hump, my interest might be rekindled.

Just started playing New Vegas. What would be the best initial build?
Don't want to fuck up my character at the beginning :/

Has there ever been a better, more natural era/setting than that for the Assassins/Templar conflict?
Why hasn't this happened yet?!

think it may fit more during the period of the Meiji Restoration (Last Samurai anyone?)
Well, not every entry. Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories and Chinatown Wars never saw a PC release.
I'm still bitter about VCS.
Yeah AC4 looked good in the video demos but they always do and then come out being a hot mess. I'll probably get AC4 for PS4 if I can find a store doing a buy 2 get 1 free around the time the 2 consoles release, that way I get it for free.
I generally put my major skills as Lockpicking, Speech and Medicine (more health given for stimpaks). This way you're not locked out of most early locked objects or speech options and since you take the most damage early on in these games you have something to help heal you better. Using science as the third skill may be tempting but usually things that are locked with terminals are also manually locked, so majoring in both science and lockpicking is a bit redundant. You can still level it up over time but putting a 15 point boost into it isn't worth it.
As for perks I start off with stuff that gives me more xp or more skill points per level, that speeds up the process a bit. Most of the initial perks aren't that interesting anyway.
I chose not to count those since they were mobile entries originally, but you are correct.
Here and Now and Swift Learner are actually considered to be the worst perks in the game.
They definitely help break the game the longer you play. But there's not a lot of good options early on for my playstyle and I hate just wasting perks
I guess you could go with ladykiller/whatever the male version is but if you major in speech you generally won't need an extra dialogue "win" option.

It's really hard to screw up a build in that game anyways. If you play through all of the DLC, you'll end up with most of the skills anyways.
Everyday I get on the Steam thread hoping for word on Metal Gear Rising, and everyday I leave disappointed.
On a completely different subject...
In Metro 2033 around chapter 6 there are some blob creatures that spew out of cyst looking things...
Yeah.... F*** THOSE MOTHER******S AND THE STUPID A.I. PARTNER THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MOVE HIS ASS!! I just said screw it and put it on easy to get past those two parts.

But they still moved that copy.
Your logic is the exact same as the people that go "I'm only going to buy it on sale, that will show them!".
Actually my logic there is getting the game without paying for it lol. My plan from the start is to buy 4 PS4 games at launch so if someone does a buy 2 get 1 then I'll go there and get 2 extra games for free, one of them being AC. Then if it sucks I'll trade it in for $30+, probably towards Infamous.
That part nearly ruined the game for me. Thankfully, Metro: Last Light doesn't have anything as bad as that.
It's technically still a copy 'sold', tho.
Not that Ubi really cares. AC is such a conveyor belt series by now they'll probably still be making them when we use cranial jacks.
I'm sure you could get a better free game than Assassin's Creed.
Thank goodness. I'm trying to knock the Metro games off my backlog and going through that part almost made me quit it for the rest of the week.
That's fine. You guys are mistaking that I'm doing it out of some kind of protest when I just want to play the game without spending any money on my end lol. If I can't get it for free then I'm not going to go out and buy it, at least not at $40-60.
Not really. After you take away the 4 games I'm getting and factor in that driveclub will be free (partially anyway, but I don't care for racing games so I'm ok with partial) there's not a lot left. NBA 2k, Madden, COD, and AC4 are all I can think of. Maybe if I can get a free PS3 game but I'm sure part of the deal will be limiting purchases to PS4/XB1 games only.
I guess I should also mention that I'm not buying an XB1 so that eliminates those games.
Oh. Gotcha. I'll just wait for it to be on PS+, and even then... I haven't really bothered with an AC after 2.
Pachter says Valve makes about 800 million dollars a year

About 8 minutes into the video.

I have to imagine they make more than that. All those borderline free (for them) transactions on the marketplace add up, even if it's only a 5% take. The biggest ones tend to be TF2 and Dota items which means Valve gets the full 15% cut too.
Then out of the money people make they either buy more items on the marketplace, giving Valve another 5-15% of it, or buying games on Steam which gives them around a 30% cut. It's the perfect "scheme" for Valve that also works in the consumer's favor.

He actually says "Steam" makes 800 million a year, but I'm not sure if he's talking about total sales or just Valve's cut.
Valve making 800 million a year makes a lot more sense to me at least.
Before or after factoring in the cost of running the CDN infrastructure?
Valve is a private company so we will never know the exact number, data is probably an estimate Pach makes.
I would imagine that is gross.

Crap! Crap! Crap!
I really hate I'm missing the D&D sale. =/

I'm glad more people became aware of that game during the sale. I bought it full price when it released on Steam and immediately put 40 hours on it before stopping for a while. The internet radio addition makes that game addictive as hell. It feels like driving for real for me, I find myself settling in and listening to the radio like I do in my car.
hmm what?
For the sake of my backlog, I can't.

Same as Pachter, my guts.
Its not a job Duke, just have fun.
You get to the backlog, when you get to it. Drop games that you don't like immediately.
Screw backlogs.
My opinion on backlogs is if the game was actually that good and you really wanted to play it, then you would. A time issue is one thing but if you're putting them off for other games then those games aren't that big of a deal to you.
I technically have a 60+ game backlog with all of these indie games I have on Steam (and some other games I never finished like Metro 2033) but they don't mean shit to me so I don't feel an obligation of finishing them. I'd trade them in if the option existed.

I know what you mean. Got 59 games, about 6 of them I've never touched. I've put the most time into Mount and Blade Warband, Pid, Teleglitch, and Limbo

Derrick, have at em
And Duke, you best play Papers, Please. .2 hrs played??
I'm having issues with that game on my Mac. It keeps crashing at startup.
I think I idled (not for cards) for about 30 of those hours. I tend to do that a lot.
