Freedom Cry (SP) is a vestigial (i.e. redundant) app that Ubi added to the Season Pass and Gold Edition subs for seemingly no reason. It's even part of the Steam sub that contains all free content, which is why you have it.
But as there's no cd key associated with it (nothing I can see) it's pretty much useless?
Yep. My original thought was that the SP DLC apps were being used as a reference point so Steam knows to look to them when a user is checking out and prevent an attempted duplicate purchase (e.g. if a user owns Illustrious Pirates (SP) then don't let them buy Assassin's Creed Black Flag - Illustrious Pirates Pack Activation Key), but this isn't the case.
Edit: Ah, apparently Ubi gave it out so existing owners have the Freedom Cry data in the event that they decide to buy it (thanks to spindoctor for the heads-up).
So I'm making them anyways, but I was wondering would there be any interest in a Let's Play of Deadly Premonition with some commentary? I'm not super funny but I'm working on a complete playthrough.
It's also a completely blind playthrough, as I know nothing about the game, and I am not looking at spoilers, or walkthroughs or whatever. (it seems to take a while to upload 1080p on my connection though.)

How does the DayZ mod compare to the Standalone?
It seems right up my alley in some ways, but don't want to drop 25 euro on the standalone only to find out I don't like it. Some videos make it seem like there seems to be a lot of running around looting houses without much else going on. Then again, some other footage looks amazing so I am somewhat torn.

After I finish my report, I can finally start gaming!
The standalone is pretty bare bones right now, while the mod has a ridiculous amount of content through custom mods.
They are very similar though. The mod is a good testing ground to see if you want to springboard into the Standalone, and will have more options for you to try through additional mods.
While I don't usually look at the lists until I've finished a game, sometimes the urge is too great (especially when they contain ones with tickers to competing a certain objective) and then the shit hits the fan. While I do feel secret or hidden achievements are a bit shitty (gives you nothing to aim for or results you having to look them up unless they unlock with progression) for story based games they could at least hide blatant spoilers.
Or here's an idea don't use titles and descriptions that will spoil your game! Typical Alan Wake syndrome.

An embarrassing request, but can someone please post in this thread, so I don't make a triplepost? Some post-mortem/opinion pieces from SDD started to show up, and probably more to come.
Might make a separate thread for it, once there will be more, for now it's probably better to keep them there.
edit: Thanks guys ^^

Not all....Witcher 2 hide its achievements if viewed via inlay steam, and hide the explanation of said achievements when viewed in browser.

25 hours in on Batman: Arkham Origins now. Main campaign was completed in roughly 18 hours. I screwed around a bit in the open world but mostly just focused on the campaign. Now I've gotten 80% of the Enigma Challenges and only have two criminals left to tackle. Haven't really touched the combat challenges although I honestly don't know how much time I'll sink into them.

Does anybody know how's Neo Scavenger?

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
It's a turn based apocalypse simulator in which trash bags are useful and you'll literally kill people for their shoes. Try the demo!
Yeah as I said in my original post, the Steamworks API has the function to allow for hidden achievements but that relies on devs/pubs actually using it which as of late some of them haven't.

I know the feel ;_;
Hahaha I remember the one copy of Doom that circulated my friends for about 2 years until some of us decided to just go but it. The local newsagents used to have a metric ton of shareware titles in a basket hidden under the gardening mags. How times have changed.

I want Metal Gear Rising on Steam but I already bought the special edition with the exclusive Raiden action figure and DLC on both 360 and PS3 the day of release. Kojima has enough of my goddamn money.
Will continue to stalk any and all MGR giveaways.

It's really not, it tries to be for like the first 30 minutes but the story kind of takes a turn, worth playing to me, it took me about 2 hours to beat and wasn't anything special but it was still pretty fun.
Doom was the first Windows game I ever played.
Well considering I've bought MGS 1 4 times, MGS 2 6 times,, MGS 3 7 times, MGS 4 3 times and now Rising twice Kojima knows there are mad bastards like me that will snafu any and all MGS special edition thingy. I hate to think what will happen if Metal Gear starts spreading its wing on Steam.
Windows? That was heresy to speak of that in our house during the 90's. DOS was (and in my heart still is) king.
I think the first taste of pc gaming I had was Police Quest on a friend from junior school's old crusty 286 with a dazzling EGA screen. All in blue, and purple glory. Of course then Monkey Island got me hooked on adventure games but I didn't get fully into pc gaming until the summer of 93 and the Doom epidemic. By 94 and Championship Manager and Warcraft were out that was it for me, pc or nothing. Many a paper round wages were saved to get my foot on the first rung of the ladder.

I basically bought my first PC just so I could play Championship Manager, when it moved from the Amiga to the PC. The name may have changed, but good lord, does that series still rule over my life. Somebody has gotta take Liverpool to Premiership glory.

What do you guys think of Deadly Premonition: DC on PC?
1. Controller support?
2. Framerate issues?
3. Glitches?
4. Specific performance issues one should know about?
Worth buying?

Its fine. Totally worth it.
I swear during my college years that I played CM more than I slept. Good job I went to art college or I'd have been fucked.

If the BTA is still 5 something it's well worth it.
I know while it has some issues to crashing it's still worth the experience at that price.
The social challenges. Fun times. There were days where you couldn't go 10 miles without seeing a Royal Convoy or White Whale and days where absolutely nothing appeared. I was lucky to find all three in a single session.
I hope it's fixed now.

This might be true but at the same time I think it just depends on the mindset you go in with. I had never seen Twin Peaks and didn't even know Deadly premonition was a homage of sorts to it. Still absolutely loved the game.
