Yea it doesn't. It just dumps the pre-load files into a separate folder and when it comes to unlock it, then it moves it into your game folder.
It doesn't yet which is bs but you can move the depotcache folder which is where the preload stuff is and junction link it if you need the space.
You still end up installing it on your default steam folder but at least it'll save you space somewhat since it'll take double the size while it's decrypting later.

What's the best way to find the cheapest seller of a game? Want to grab Galcal given the founder's pack offer ends at the end of this month. Someone in the forums is selling it for 53 but its only 44 converted so that's a healthy mark up. Just wondering if there's a better deal.
adverse effects feels kind of weird wording for shutting down uplay
Try it and see if your save is gone.
That's harsh man
I lost saves for Brotherhood and Revelations. So anything UPlay does out of the ordinary might make me suspect that it wants to eat my save.
EDIT: Wonder if Watch_Dogs will suffer the same fate.
On the bright side, if it happens to ACIII you can finally stop playing that crap.
There's never been a Spring Sale but this doesn't necessarily mean there won't be one in the future. Not this year, though.
Game Save Manager is scheduled for auto backup at 7 AM, 3 PM and 9 PM, daily everyday at my Google Drive folder. Come at me Ubisoft!
Poor indie spring sale.
By "Spring Sale" I was referring to something comparable to the Summer, Autumn and Winter Sales (i.e. a period where virtually everything is discounted). The Indie Sale was just... an Indie Sale.

Clean that wallet. Easy to organize you $ when you have none.

Well if you can get Prototype 2 gifted to you and at a 75% discount (right now it's still 40$ and the game is a two year old bomb, wtf Activision) , it's totally worth while.

I am getting a game for a friend, its his bday today. I am torn between The Wolf Among Us and The Banner Saga. He has both of these games on his wishlist. I know both games are different just not sure which he would like more. Also, I know he has never played The Walking Dead. But he does read comics, so that's why I am assuming he has it listed. Just not sure if he reads Fables.
What would you pick?

LOTR was good on 3DS, but would suggest waiting a bit so as to not get totally disgusted with LEGO bit collecting. :lol

Based on his profile, the guy seems more into "gameplay" than story with big hours in Rust, Civ 5, binding of isaac etc.
So Banner Saga would be my guess of the two. But I suspect DayZ would be the bigger winner?
the more i play it, the more confused i get on why everyone hates ass creed 3
so far i feel it has the best story of any ass creed 3 to date (desmond bits haven't gone stupid yet but really who cares about desmond), setting is alright, ships are dumb but cool distractions, trees are awesome and really it's just same 'ol ass creed, you hold run+forward and you counter people, just like always
i guess maybe it's exhaustion with the series, which is fair, or maybe is the streamlining of the run+forward "mechanics" being kind of buggy, but really, i think i like this waaaaay better than ass bros.
probably cos i really didn't care so much for ezio (tho da vinci was a total bro!) and because virtual tourism works a lot better if i don't visit italy twice

Same questions I have, can't understand the hate. Refreshing after too much Ezio.the more i play it, the more confused i get on why everyone hates ass creed 3

Conner does act a bit too much butthurt though.

I thought about DayZ too, but he told me he doesn't want to play it until cars are released and other stuff he likes from the original mod, which he plays A LOT of. lol But ya guess ill just go with Banner Saga. Thanks!

The Wolf Among Us was his (2nd) most recent addition to his list and he placed it at #1.
Honestly I don't think you can go wrong either way, I would love either game if it was me.
yeah he's pretty whiny with dem daddy issues but he's like a legit good guy, i like him
who doesn't love trees yoEDIT: Hahaha...
it's like my favorite thing about the game

So instead of giving us SoulCalibur or Tekken, Namco did this? http://www.riseofincarnates.com/

He's like this random author insert who basically just gets to walk around telling everyone they suck. The whole game goes out of its way to criticize people it thinks were wrongly reified. Not, like, "oh, here's the truth about them," but like "how can we make them look as BAD as possible?"
So, hey, meet Ben Franklin? First thing he tells you, apropos of nothing, is "I like banging old ladies." George Washington? Never anything other than an idiot. Sam Adams? "Hey, don't you own SLAVES?" like, all the time. Can't get enough of reminding the world he owns slaves, because as we all know, modern sensibilities are totally a thing one can apply to the past.
Connor's a whiny, overly-moralistic guy. He doesn't come across as angry about anything, just... "hey you i am connor beep boop why weren't you born in the 1980s boop beep"
wait who are u talking about -_-
"You guys wanted fighters on the PC, right!?"
I'm still a little miffed that Scamco revoked beta keys for a free-to-play game. RIP in Peace +1.
Deep down inside me, while playing this game, I can't help but think the only reason this was panned as bad is because American reviewers didn't like the Europeans representation of their nations forefathers.
EDIT: I know I'm wrong, but still just a thought.
Well, you are... as far as the modern-day narrative is concerned. In Black Flag you play an Abstergo researcher whose job is to explore genetic memories for stories well-suited for blockbuster media franchises, hence the jump back in time as far as the historical portion of the game is concerned.
As an over arching storyline concern, this should have been a side story instead of a numbered one.
No way, I want a complete turnabout. I want an actual full progression storyline with modern times.

hahahahaha. I don't know if it's cool to link to personal blogs or whatever, so if it isn't, smack me or something. But, uh... I wrote this on the game. Has nothing to do with what I'm saying here. It's a single draft, iirc, so it's probably rough. Short version is that ACIII is a patchwork assemblage of disparate game parts that don't follow the same train of logic, so what you have is a game that's constantly training players various things, promising something, then reneging on that promise and saying "now do THIS instead."
I found myself playing one part for a long time, then stopping and playing another part... I could never jump between them deftly. AC3 is a bunch of very different games in one body, in other words, and they all want different things.
Oh, and the leads were from Montreal, which, last I checked, was still in Quebec.

Anyone that wanted Go! Go! Nippon from its last bundle deal and missed it, it's on as a Groupees spotlight now.

In the SP campaign, the best you can do is assist your friends' ships within the fleet mini-game and share social chest/convoy/whale locations with them (the latter the game handles itself). Maybe MP is different, I don't know; I don't care enough to try it.
i dunno, i like him, i don't think he's the deepest dude ever or anything but he looks cool and he isn't white which is enough for me
well yea but feature creep has been the name of the game for the ass creed series even since 1.
it's just a whole bunch of systems that go unused cos you can simply run past people or counter them to death and actually accessing your inventory is too tedius for you to even bother throwing coins or whatever else you could do
but that's not specific to 3, the whole series is stupid like that
Oh, so that's how it is.
