Just realised the sale ends before I get home from work tomorrow, so I decided to be restrained and just buy the games on my wishlist that were below £1...
Blitz Breaker
Critter Crunch
Curse of the Crescent Isle DX
Insanity's Blade
Out There Somewhere
Refunct
Shelter
Windosill
I was tempted to get a few 80%+ discounts but I figure they'll be on sale for the same (or better) over Christmas anyway.

Trying to see if any difference between this and previous sleepy dogs edition apart from all the DLC.
Fucking love Titanfall 2 on PC. So sad it's not on other services. The numbers for the game would be so much better and healthy and I could actually play all the modes.
(I've had a steam link and controller for a while, i've only used it 2 or 3 times to play games in bed on the TV, but it works amazingly well.
From actually reading the reviews and watching some videos posted by the big sites, FFXV looks like a 6-7 game that at times comes close to being an 8. The dungeons in particular appear to be a highlight. Game Informer used the word "baffling" quite a bit in their test chamber. There are elements of the game that make it seem like it has no respect for the player's time. 1-10 minute driving sequences that are effectively a disguised loading screen?
I grew with FF, but the series lost me after FFX. (I put a few hours in XII and XIII, but couldn't maintain interest) On the plus side, if/when FFXV comes to PC, it'll hopefully have some serious quality-of-life improvements patched in.

I just checked, the email still hasn't arrived.
I got this too - the order list with confirmation number is there, but nothing in my Uplay account and still no email.
That said, my actual order date is listed as Nov 29 (tomorrow).
Code:
Date ordered: 29/11/2016
Order number: 0XXXXXXXX9
Total: C$ 2.81So maybe I'll get something tomorrow?

Interesting. I got an "Order confirmed!" email that served as my order confirmation, but it also had my Steam keys in that same email.
Maybe it's dependent on what game was ordered? (i.e. they have to get more keys) For reference, I got State of Decay and Injustice.
Took about 45 minutes from placing the order to getting the email with my Steam keys.
Everyone's experience will vary, but I managed to get 2 of my 3 Ubisoft store purchases today within 30 minutes of PayPal payment. The one that didn't go through I have sent in a support ticket to Ubisoft requesting a refund.
I ordered 4 titles (FIFA 17, Hitman Absolution EE, Tomb Raider GOTY, and Titanfall).
As a single group order, my CC was charged, but I didn't receive any email confirmation/receipt, nor did the titles appear in my account. After reading some reddit posters' experiences, the solution that ended up working for me was this:
I had to separate the 4 titles into 2 smaller orders. I paid via PayPal. Didn't get a 404/error after submitting the order, and got receipts as you'd expect. Within 20-30 minutes, all of the games showed up in my account. I redeemed them through Origin and Steam.
tl;dr - Order 1 or 2 titles at a time. Pay via PayPal, not credit card. Hope for the best.
edit 1: prices on the store are now fixed. Party's over!

I got my key for Tropico 5 then State of Decay showed up now just waiting on Shadow of Mordor key to show up and i did get an email finally but the key section for Mordor is blank.
I only ordered one game and I used Paypal. Got a receipt email from Paypal that my order was processed, but nothing from Ubisoft.
I have a strong inkling that they are going to send me nothing, and when I talk to customer support, they are just going to cancel the order

I thought that the "Only on Origin" policy was a John Riccitiello thing, but it seems that Andrew Wilson has no plans to change that.
Ha, I got the email finally, but the Steam Key section is blank. Awesome!

I still haven't received an email and Shadow of Mordor is still missing from my Games list in Uplay.
Ubi didn't have a problem taking my money though -__-
Yes, I know it wasn't a lot of money but still.

The automatic .gif creator in Infinifactory is amazing.
get it if you want to play now
if you are willing to wait a month, you can see if it gets cheaper or not, there's really no other way to know

get it NOW because it's rare for Ubishit to price Gold under $35

According to a German article it looks positive that previous owners will get it free.
From what I've seen it's amazing, I hope they decide to make the PC version.

Man, I want to get Watch Dogs 2 for PC, but don't really want the Uplay only version, I want a steam copy. Is there any good deals for a Steam version or am I just going to have to wait?
So just tried to purchase Homeworld with my Paypal account, and it ended up hanging during the part where it usually completes the transaction.
Now the game is in my library, however I can't play it because it says it is still part of a pending transaction. Has anybody experienced this with paypal before, and if so, about how long will it take for me to be able to play this? Don't want to miss out on the sale price if this cancels while I am at work tomorrow!

That was my original plan, but after reading some of the reviews, I can't do that.
I've just ordered a Slim and it'll arrive later today/tomorrow. I'm weak.

Ubi glitch fixed?

Grey Goo is a better SP campaign for a better price imo but kharak is solid too.
The pricing error on uplay? Yeah it was fixed a few hours ago apparently.Ubi glitch fixed?
Bad port?
Yeah the game is completely unoptimized.
I was hoping to play it on an older setup I have here since the game also runs on PS3/Xbox 360, but it literally runs 1 fps in the opening scene.
Played a bit of The Enchanted Cave 2 (bought during the sale) and it's quite fun. After a couple runs through the dungeon I was already clearing down to the 72th level. It was fun enough that I restarted my game because I left a kid to die in the dungeon by not giving him my escape item lol.
Gave a whirl to Wheels of Aurelia too, which I won some days ago. Got two endings (
), but that says very little since each play session doesn't seem to last too long, though maybe it's also affected by your decisions along the way.
It's... an interesting experience, but also a weird game. I wish I could speed up my dialogue choices once I picked my line.
