When you go to the Steam front page, the first thing you see is a bigass ad for Thief. Not the usual promo spot that cycles through various titles (that's below it), just a huge ad. What I want to know is why.

Just huge marketing push from Square-enix. The entire gmg is Thief too.

Doesn't that version still require the Uplay client?

Yes, but it's still a lot better.

Here's how Uplay standalone client works, click download game, after the download is finished, you have to install the game through an installer, with ToS and "next" buttons. Then comes the patches, each patch is downloaded separately, and all of them have their own installers. Once you applied a patch, Uplay would launch the game automatically without checking if there's a newer one, so if you want your game to be patched to the latest version, you'll also have to close the game multiple times to make it work.

Edit: I spend nearly an hour on updating SC: Blacklist to the latest version.

Oh, I'm well acquainted with the joy that is Uplay. Especially when it involves SC: Blacklist.
 
I love that Steam is fast-becoming the simulator nexus of the digital world.



20% off ($11.99) for the next week.

It hasnt been on sale once...

I just think NISA forgot the PC-market (and I think maybe the price was a bit too high).

It was on sale a few times in 2012 but apparently one of NISA's New Year's Resolutions for 2013 was "Stop discounting Cladun."

Edit: Oh god, Warehouse Simulator has licensed forklifts. That's awesome.

You should be able to get it for $12 from a trader, which coincidentally is how much it was on USD stores when discounted.

They have been doing this for a while now for big releases, like a few years.

Yeah. Will do it when I have money again :D

Btw. whenever I check some of my games from my list, it seems even bad-mediocre games get good reviews. It seems just the worst of the worst gets the thumbs down reviews.

So, in the end, is the new Thief worth getting or is it an insult to the series?
Click to expand...

I'll tell you in a few days, when it unlocks for me.
The fact that it apparently has cutscenes that make you a bumbling fool and leave you standing out in the open, like in fucking max payne 3, doesn't fill me with hope.
 
ah now I'm getting hype for the south park game, even tho I don't really like south park

it just feels so bad not to buy an obsidian game :(
