If someone is having the same problem as I did, i.e Playfire rewards aren't transferring to GMG, you can just 'purchase' free EVE Online trial and that does the trick.

Cool. Thanks.

Despite fearing the standard Ubisoft openworld bloat I'm kind of interested in Watch_Dogs now. The spider tank digital trips looks ridiculous and video game-y in all the right kinds of ways.

Thanks I'll add it to my wishlist and grab it if I ever find it for cheap.
Good luck, and say Hi to them from Steam GAF

Ubisoft openworld bloat is the best kind of bloat.

Recent count showed that I only "recognize" 1/3 of my Steam library, the rest is unknown to me. Why do I have this one?

I think there was a indiegala sale where it was super cheap.

I've played this earlier this year. It's pretty much a terrible game, extremely overwritten with loads of pointless wandering around empty maps and a 'plot twist' that is extremely telegraphed and even if it wouldn't be, just doesn't change anything.
YMMV, but I actively regret spending 3 hours on the game.

The irony is that I got 12 more games between that post you quoted and this one. I think the bundle situation is now officially out of control.

The Ubisoft approach to openworld game design is why I have low expectations for Watch_Dogs and genuinely believe the Eurogamer preview where they stated it would take 30-40 hours to just finish the game and over 100 hours to do everything. If there's an equivalent to "run around skin x number of these arbitrary animals to make this item upgrade" in "do everything" I know my eyes will glaze over while playing and I'll be tempted to uninstall the game 8-9 hours in.
Infinitely preferable to the pre-bundle days though, IMO.

I'm really hoping that little details such as those boxes of info about people keep the world interesting enough to finish the game.
This is exactly why I can't get excited about ubisoft open world games anymore.
If feels like they roll in a B or even C team to do the side content. It is always horrible, arbitrary, and un-fun and brings down the whole experience.
Man that confused me for a bit. First reaction was 'celebration gif', but having seen that episode recently I know that scene he repeats his new catch phrase 'I just don't give a shit' or something.

Now I'm using activate product thing to input all the keys. I think Valve/Steam needs to make that menu option into a big button on the UI. It is by far the most used one.

Is that like the Simpson's episode where Bart is adopted by Mr. Burns?
Homer: "Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth so when they bark they shoot bees at you?"
Burns: "Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons".
Indeed.
I'd probably be interested in Destiny if it was coming to PC.
Repect for the Rick & Morty gif.
Do you have a good source of where to find Rick & Morty gifs?
Me too.
Anyone who wants one can add me and send me a Steam IM.
now?
Out of control is so far in my rear view I forgot what it looks like.

for me it depends on their packaging. For example, some of the AssCreed stuff is really hard to slog through....but I breezed through FarCry 3 in 40 hours to 100%.
Assuming they can make the world half interesting, I can't wait for
a good pre order deal on

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Exactly. Contrasted with something like Fallout: New Vegas (or really, pretty much any open world Bethesda game) and it just seems like filler to pad out the playtime.
Does anyone legitimately enjoy the side content in Ass Creed or Far Cry?

Far Cry 3 was my GOTY. Never played any AssCreed.
I was just going to post something about New Vegas / Obsidian.
I haven't played an open-ish Ubi game since either Revelations or Far Cry 2.
Wait, what? What's this about?
I was gonna give it a miss due to owning the game outside Steam, but if there's a significant update to the game, I'll have to change my mind.
Good thing I already have Skullgirls, innit?

Well, it looks like the game's single and multiplayer are kind of integrated like a Demon/Dark Souls game...

Online contracts look kind of similar to being invaded. You can also accept challenges from other players while in single player so stealth confirmation of this gaming requiring a persistent internet connection? Or was this already known? Sorry, I haven't been paying much attention to the game, the Ghost in the Shell mention made me look at the spider tank video and now I'm looking at more.

Depends on the "side content".
I did all missions in AC, but ignored the flags. I did sync all viewpoints.
I did all story missions in AC2 and got all collectibles. I ignored all of the side missions like the assassination contracts that gave no real benefit .
It's pretty similar in all Sandbox games for me. In the early SR games, I'd skip the extra content if it wasn't tied to respect to unlock story missions. In GTA, I rarely drive a taxi or ambulance or firetruck for fun. Even the hitman stuff got boring in GTA4... to much of a fetch quest most of the time.
What does Skullgirls have to do with V:TM?

I enjoy some of the side content in the Ass Creeds. Depends on which content you mean. I'm not a huge fan of the feathers/equivalents but they're mindless stuff that's easy to get to so I'll get them anyway. Assassin contracts are easy too, so I do them. Some of the side missions are better than parts of the main game, with side quests like the Mad Doctor's Castle in III being way better than a lot of the other sections of the game, in my opinion.
I usually get everything except for 100% sync in missions.
If that update messes up the fan patch then there could be problems.

Yeah I enjoy the majority of it. I like roaming their open worlds.

I hope that Bound by Flame game turns out well as I'm a sucker for games like that but the combat looks off. Like there is no animations when an enemy gets hit. I dunno.. I'll wait for a real demo.
Started playing some Papers, Please. What a neat game! Its pretty addicting too. Managed to get one of those tokens. Nice that I get some Playfire awards to go along with it.

Those types of games are really appealing to me when I'm sick or very tired, for some reason. I marathoned the Borderland games, and Far Cry 3 that way. I am just sitting there stooping in my malaise, and it's like the pathogens are egging me on, "kill one more, kill one more, one more item, click, click. Hnnngg..."
I just installed and tried to run it, crashed with the 15mb memory error like always so I guess it's nothing.
Dawg posted his interview with Johnathan Morin and the subject came up about 100%ing the game and content and he said that he finished the main story with a 30% completion rate. He said he was going for a 100% run and at the moment is on 30.8% with 50 hours of playtime. Either there's loads to do or it's more bloated than a puffed up frog.
Yeah either way I'm sold. Got to climb those towers and check off those lists

Probably like L4D2. If you hit install before the deadline, you can keep it (you don't have to finish the install).

Looks like the release date for Killer is Dead was pushed to May 23rd.

I did all the side missions in AC2 and loved every bit of it.
I also completed the majority of quests in Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, I plan on going back to FC3 and FC:BD to complete the rest of them now that I've completed the 52 games 1 year challenge.
Also planning to 100% ACIV since apparently it unlocks some pretty funny stuff in-game which sounds cool to me.

How is Killer is Dead? I'm not a fan of Suda's No More Heroes games but I did like Shadow of the Damned.
The only one I enjoyed was Blood Dragon.
Looking at the credits roll for ACIV, x360, there are teams in Montreal, Bucharest, Annecy, Singapore, Sofia, Shanghai, Chengdu, Milan, Montpellier, etc etc.
I bet that one or more of those studios is tasked with 'add 40 hours of filler content' and anything they want to do that requires additions or modifications to the main game needs to go through three different offices and translators.
So I ended up playing the first episode of Jurassic Park, and man is it incredibly glitchy. I died during
because it autofailed some inputs that never appeared on screen, and audio has some annoying volume and popping issues as well. Also the fact that the game considered (spoilered because it's an achievement )
as perfect Spanish for

I do like that it seems to tackle a few unresolved plotlines from the movie, but I don't think I'll play the rest of the episodes, not much exploration and too many QTEs which is a shame.
Seriously, get it, it's great.

Ah, seems a bit convoluted but good to know, I thought it was backwards (sign into Steam from the PS3).
Resistance is futile.
