Well... so much for that idea.
This might be weird, but does it run better with PhysX on?
(Or is it like, an old old laptop chipset)

Thanks, too lazy to dig up some proper lightning GIFs.

Is that triangle symbol some type of Ubisoft thing? I think I saw the same thing on some side mission I recently did on Far Cry 3
Blizzard can suck it.

Beat Call of Juarez: Gunslinger last night.
Thanks to the one on Steam who commented on one of my pictures and suggested the video.scr edit to get full screen and set POV. I hadn't noticed the game isn't full screen on default (there's a weird letterbox effect), but, the config edit takes that away. Game looks much better now.
Overall, it's a corridor shooter. As such, it'd work very, very well as an add-on to Typing of the Dead. The ways some scenes change as the story changes is implemented is a cool effect. Without such a solid story, it probably knocks the game down a couple more steps. Just the way it's told is clever and it works.
It is not a long game, maybe 5 hours (I'll have to check my time), but, feels like once you've shot a guy in a red bandana popping out from behind a barrel, you've shot them all a bit. Scenes try to change this up, but, it's still basically the same formula.
I did also have an issue with the guns, realize maybe it's probably a design of the types of guns from the era, but, on many, many occasions, I had guys 20 yards off in the distance with a rifle, iron sights lined up, and it'd take 4 shots to connect. Dunno if that's bullet flight or poor hit detection.
The slowdown effect (Concentration) is also woefully short to use. There's probably an unlock to increase this value, but, on default, it's almost worthless. (unless, again, I missed a way to have it recharge faster or last longer)
Duels aren't fantastic either, it's a hard mechanic, I know what they were trying to do. I just ended up killing everyone dishonorably. Sorry, didn't care to work through it.
Overall, for a $5 game (what I paid on a flash sale), not bad, but, $5 can buy you a lot of Steam, especially during a sale. That said, it's probably closer to a $2.50 range game.
It has a 79 metacritic, I can't disagree with it, it isn't a D game and it isn't a B game. C+

It's the universal symbol for caution.
Edit: Unless you're referring to the Abstergo logo, in which case, yes.

The triangle is the icon for the "animus" in asscreed games. They've been using it as the default iconography for random UI stuff since the 1st game. Or yeah abstergo. Whatever it's some in "universe" icon nonsense.

That is the abstergo logo I think. I have also noticed that Ubisoft uses the same icons across their games.

So where can you find this so called "Cockram"?
Ubi likes to cross-pollinate its fiction. One of the information documents you find in the modern-day setting in Black Flag is a pitch presentation extolling the benefits of ctOS (the security/surveillance system that Watch Dogs is based around).

One of the bonus missions that came with Far Cry 3 (maybe only the Deluxe edition) takes place in an abandoned Abstergo facility.
Agreed, cool little game. I was surprised by how charming it was. Dope art direction too.

What?
We're gonna be fighting Juno, aren't we.
Damn, if only I'd known sooner, I'd have posted the entire script.
Congrats!
Yeah, that's what I was getting at. The same is ostensibly true of Far Cry due to what Stallion just said.
Eurogamer did an entertaining video comparison of Abstergo and Ubisoft, however, minor ACIV spoilers were included.

Speaking of Watch_Dogs, I'm so pumped for like all of Ubi's slate this year:
-AC: Liberation (supposedly they did more than enhance the GFX, preordered since it's 20$)
-Child of Light (amazing art/price point, will preorder ASAP)
-Valiant Hearts (amazing concept/art/price point, will preorder ASAP)
-Watch Dogs (Ass Creed + GTA love it, will preorder ASAP)
-Ass Creed 5 (give zero fucks, snort the series like cocaine)
-Far Cry 4 (FC3 + Blood Dragon completely redeemed the series)

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Loving Tiny & Big, really fun game. It's absolutely gorgeous and the atmosphere is deliciously weird. Played an hour and i'm now getting the hang of the cutting mechanics, they work pretty darn well. Slicing rocks in half to create paths is fun stuff. The platforming feels kinda off, though.
Lot's of hidden jokes and goodies as well.
Thanks again, spindoctor!

Child of Light already appeared on Steam.
No sight of sad wardogs in snow yet, though.
I didn't know there were so many AssCreed fans here.

They probably wanna separate the releases a bit so the sales don't cannabalize each other. In retrospect I think that might have happened with Blood Dragon and Gunslinger. I did buy both at full price, but I waited a couple weeks on Gunslinger.
Yeah, sounds like a good idea.
Of course, Ubi being Ubi, they'll probably release them without any fanfare while pushing Tom Clancy's AssCrud 21.
(Also, please don't uPlay them, Ubi. See? Gunslinger didn't have uPlay and I bought it. Learn from this experience.)
Just Dance 3 sold 7 million copies or something. Also, just look at all the DDR-alikes.
*pats*
But on PC?
masseffectrave.gif
Right. Missed that.
Who knows, maybe there's a huge market of China-only dancing games?
(I've got nothing)
World of Warcraft. An MMO without /dance is an MMO not worth playing, therefore dancing games sell great.

I believe these are both internal projects so Uplay is 100% guaranteed. Child of Light already has a page in the Uplay interface.

Can't wait for the inevitable crossover between Assassin Creed, Far Cry, Watch_Dogs and Rocksmith.

Really? what about Brothers? That's an amazing deal.
hmm yea.. but $20 :/
but on a separate note, $5 to pick up all the CiM DLC? (first game)
Sid Meyer's Space whatever + DLC for .99 cents is pretty good.
But yeah, other than Brothers (which we all already bought), these are terrible.
Welcome to Amazon's Editor's Choice. It's always terrible.

Nuuvem's CEO is saying that GTAV is coming to PC in March 12.
Dark Souls II month for me, so I don't really care.

Someone really evil could say those games are all the same with different skins but NOT me.
