It's crazy how easy Assassin's Creed can be to play. My GF rented Black Flag over the weekend for the PS3 (comfy couch and all) and while she really doesn't play any games other than things like Scribblenauts or Plants vs Zombies, she was able to pick it up in about 15 - 20 minutes and now only dies when she gets a bit too impatient and attacks without blocking enough. Difficulty setting is normal, iirc.
It was really weird to see that.

EA just can't catch a break. Even major financial institutions have them on the shit list
And so begins an ARG that will end with Origin games on Steam.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Hmmm does Origin have an equivalent to Steam Prepaid cards or no?
Origin doesn't even have a Steam Wallet equivalent. It's why Plants vs Zombies 2 isn't on the PC.

so, if TF ends up on Steam, would people who have it on Origin need to purchase it again? I doubt Respawn would be happy about fragmenting that base, EA though...

Why can't I find Deadpool on Steam? I remember seeing it on the store page...
How do the ME3 multiplayer packs work then? The PvZ2 microtranscations are basically the same thing.
It was pulled a while ago. I think the rights reverted back to Marvel/Disney.

It was taken off the store during the Winter Sale, out of nowhere.
I doubt it, but you could probably wring a Steam key out of EA if you bothered Support enough; I plan to do just that for Crysis 2 vanilla. The fact that I own both Crysis 2 and Crysis 2: ME on Origin but only the latter on Steam is very disconcerting to me.
Edit: Oh, I misread your post. You wouldn't need to purchase the game again.
BioWare Spacebucks.
Acti dropped its contract with Marvel, which was extended back in 2005 for another 12 years (in other words, it was still valid for another three years).

Wat? Goddamn!
The license expired

To be fair at least they put it at 75% off during the sale.
They could of been real jerks and not even have made it a daily and then gotten rid of it.
Freedom = $1.05

They really streamlined things when they removed the puppet system in AC3. Before, climbing, running, just about anything required a bit of an understanding of how the face buttons would work under different contexts. Now, you can just hold the right trigger and it automatically takes care of most things. Sucks, though, because it takes the puzzlish elements out of the climbing process.
It didn't expire. That Acti employee was telling porkies.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I managed not to get hyped about DS II, untill now that is. I know how you feel.
It wasn't expired? So there is a chance it might come back?

I highly doubt it, are there games on both services whose mp isn't compatible? If BF4 would end up on Steam it would just use Battlelog for example.

The Activision store seems to still have steam keys for Deadpool if you really wanted it.

Of course, how could I forget about that nonsense.
Guess it's not surprising after they gutted High Moon.

YEs, they sell EA bucks at Gamestop - at least they used to. I don't know how it works for in game transactions but I've purchased them before. Unless they stopped selling them.
EDIT: Says unavailable so maybe they did stop selling them? They did exist though:

Well it wouldn't need to be fragmented. As long as they use a central server pool and not Steamworks for multiplayer, it'd be fine.
Origin was supposed to get in-game purchase functionality, but of course, like many things, this didn't happen... or hasn't happened, depending on your outlook.

I'm very tempted by Night of the Rabbit for $6... Should I just pick it up now or wait? I don't know if I'll play it by summer.
Oh well. I got Steam keys for the game and the dlc, which I haven't redeemed yet..
Wait for a bundle with it
Eww, Windows 8 only? Why would they limit their potential customers so much? That's like, less than 10% of potential market.
Puzzlish elements of the climbing process? You mean holding down RT and A and pushing the left stick forward? Because that's all there is to the auto-platforming in those games.
I wish there were proper platforming elements in those games, a la Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Their kickstarter pitch that Deques linked has Win8 logo.
I think it will work in older Windows too. Their kickstarter page lists these platforms: PC/Mac/Linux, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4.

Guess that's an error or they're going to release it on the W8 app store too but if you scroll down you see all the platforms including Steam.
Do most of the games on Steam have controller support?
I just bought a Xbox 360 controller for Windows.
Many of the bigger name titles do. But most of the smaller/indie titles don't.
Yeah, think they just picked that logo
or they know something we don't and are somehow using DX12
That quoted post is amazing. I thought EA had been quiet on new features added to Origin, but I didn't realize how bad they were at keeping up with their own schedule.
Looking at the Dark Souls 2 reviews, I am even more excited for April 25th. Potentially thinking of getting it day one now.... Probably silly, but damn I wish it had cards.

I don't know the numbers, but there are plenty of games with controller support. You'll be fine.
The game will be released in 2015. By that time more will probably be using Win8

I'd say most games where it makes sense do nowadays, doesn't matter if big, small, indie or AAA. Only rereleases of older games can be problematic.
True, but I don't see it eating too much into that 60% Windows 7 usage that Steam currently has. I use it (with Start8) and am fine with it, but there is still some vitriol around the subject.
Since it's a 24-hour giveaway, should I repost? Just the giveaway itself, I mean, not the preface. Link for now.
I blame being a doctor of wordolosophy.
Yes.
The short version is that I have some damaged genes that mean my body doesn't produce some of the things it needs to. My condition does not have a name. It took a great number of doctors to find this out. Many of these doctors expressed surprise that I was able to get out of bed in the morning. I wish I could still afford 'em.
Sorry to hear about your situation, Doc. Here's hoping things get better from here on out, even though you're the worst doctor ever for allowing yourself to get sick.

Yeah, just link to it again so it receives some more attention.
Hah, literally just edited it in.
Sorry to hear about your condition
But if your condition doesn't have a name shouldn't the doctors be curios and want to research about it?
