Haven't heard too much about this game.

Doesn't seem to use Uplay

So Ghost Recon Online is out on Steam now? I can't find it on the store.

 

[scorpscarx]

Oh alright, guess I'll just look retarded at the top of the page then, carry on. Might play some Outcast mp later today.

Canada only for now

App doesn't install Uplay from what I can see, going to do some more digging, and the store doesn't mention it.

 

[Turfster]

More leftovers

Thanks for TOME!

It is the Jedi Knight collection. I made the same mistake.

The funny part is that if you go to the actual collection page, half the time the collection banner stays up, and half the time, it gets instantly replaced by the JKII one.

Considering how long the game's been available, it sounds completely bonkers they'd need to push it through early access.

The standalone GRO release doesn't need the Uplay client, but it does need an uPlay / Ubisoft account, from what I can remember.

I see the store page, however, I don't see the download/play button.

Thank you very much. This is the one thing in the BTA that I wanted.

Reading the Giant Bomb wiki on it mentions that a Wii U version is also in the works, but it says that it won't be released (or even worked on?) until the PC version is done. Also, won't be F2P like the PC version. It will be interesting to see if the Wii U version ever gets released.

It's actually really fun, takes some getting used to but it's definitely a solid shooter.

 

[Zeeman]

So we Canucks are the only ones that get to beta test Ghost Recon Online? Should we be honoured about that?

 

[Card Boy]

Ghost Recon Online is legit guys, Its actually pretty good. I would like some more graphic options but otherwise its fantastic.

 

[Khronico]

I might actually try this. Also good on them for not using Uplay for Steam version if true.

 

[Dolor]

no controller support for Torchlight 2. Although I'm sure there are some joy2key profiles floating around if you feel like messing with that.

For what it's worth I felt that Torchlight 2 has way more personality than Path of Exile.

Until Reaper of Souls and the fixing of Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 is probably my favorite loot game.

hmm maybe I will try again. Maybe its because it almost feels like a single player game

You both should play Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. It's really an excellent entry in the genre.

Steam's interface looks like a curved screen in virtual reality. There are no fancy effects, no rooms to explore in order to launch games.

To be frank I wouldn't mind if Valve did something like that in the future.

 

[Grief.exe]

Looks like Valdis Story is getting Mac support

The standalone GRO release doesn't need the Uplay client, but it does need an uPlay / Ubisoft account, from what I can remember.

Ok thanks for the info, I literally had nothing on this going in.

Probably pretty close to open this up worldwide then as it has been available for a while and they just need to test Steam integration.

Ghost Recon Online is legit guys, Its actually pretty good. I would like some more graphic options but otherwise its fantastic.

I will definitely try it out.

Trading Card and Achievement support always helps.

So big publishers are getting in on early access now? Bullshit! This is a bad precedent, and I don't like where this is going.

Since the Broken Age review embargo (lol) was just lifted I wanted to tell you guys that it's pretty cool.

Dude, it's an online beta. This isn't a new development.
Like with every single MMO ever made.
Hell, the original Quake had an open beta for MP.

 

[deliverypizza]

I guess if it helps them smooth out the game and discover bugs I'm OK with it. We still can wait to buy until the full release if we want to. Most multiplayer only games have some sort of beta anyways.

 

[denx]

It's weird that they are going for Early Access since GRO has been out for ages. Maybe they want to test some Steamworks exclusive features?

Btw, I don't mind GRO going into Early Access, it's a F2P MP-only game after all.

 

[Ezalc]

I'm having trouble remembering the name of a game that I saw a video about a while ago. It has these little cube robots and you battle against another player, but it's a turn based thing. It sort of reminds me of chess for some reason. I just know that you predicting the opponent's next move was important. Anybody know the game I'm talking about? I remember the developer saying that taking advantage of height was important too if I'm not mistaken.

what is the code ?

Ultra late, but GFDJAN25UK is what I used for gamefly.co.uk as taken from isthereanydeal. That site now listing the discount codes too is such a great feature.

Well there's Frozen Synapse, which is turn-based and height is important, but it certainly doesn't have cute robots, so maybe Frozen Endzone?

Or maybe Greed Corp?

Nope. It has robots that remind me of that one toaster lookin' enemy from Cave story. THe big one that is like a central henchman or something.

Yeah well, that's something we're kind of used here (meaning that it always piss us off, but what can we do?).
Like, I'm seeing lots of 1$:1€ conversions + Italian VAT (22%), that on cheap stuff is basically fine, but OMG now that I'm building a new PC, comparing prices between like Newegg and Italian stores hurts a lot.

I know the feeling. Amazon.it helped a bit, but we'll never even come near the american prices

Aww I missed Toki Toki 2

Which GR would you compare it to (if you played any of the past ones)?

 

[Stallion Free]

So big publishers are getting in on early access now? Bullshit! This is a bad precedent, and I don't like where this is going.

Even the recently released consoles would be put into the category.

 

[Grief.exe]

Early Access is going to implode spectacularly if it continues down the same path it's currently on.

I like how Valve respects our intelligence and allows us to make decisions on our own by not severely limiting developers in the Early Access program.

What will cause the implosion is a large percentage of people who play videogames, if not the majority, are not capable of rational thought, making educated decisions, or constructing a proper sentence (go read Steam forums, youtube comments, Twitter, etc if you need proof for any of these conclusions).
That will bring the Early Access program to its knees.

Its already happening, at least with Steam they inform you.

I wasn't referencing Ghost Recon specifically, just that there are so many Early Access titles.

My point exactly. Early Access is a fantastic concept, and for me personally has been awesome. As a whole, with all the people who have access to it, it's going to have issues.

Frozen sinapse?

No that's not it. IIRC it wasn't released when I saw it, but that was probaly early last year. Sucks that I can't remember the name for it since I thought it looked really interesting.
