Is Uplay on PC that bad? I'm thinking about grabbing the Far Cry franchise pack on Steam, but I'd held off on Ubisoft stuff since I haven't heard great things about Uplay.

I have played through Naissancee and it took me maybe 4hrs to finish but it was one of the most chillaxing puzzle game. If you are looking for a puzzler who's difficulty is more than portal then this one isn't it, but I liked it.

The game is very CPU intensive. I'm not sure a dual core would cut it. I would recommend waiting until you can experience the game on high/ultra @ 60.
It's an extra layer of nuisance, but beyond that it generally works just fine.
Don't let its presence hold you back if you've got a genuine interest in the games themselves.
I'd recommend manually backing up saves. I lost my Black Flag saves no less than four times, and that was with cloud saves disabled.

On Steam.
This game, when it came out, disappointed me greatly. I was expecting the next NFS Most Wanted after the poor ProStreet that came out, and how ProStreet was more about rally races. All the media and hype of the game, I got sucked in. This game is awful.

It's just annoying more than anything, I would suggest turning off the cloud saving though, I've lost saves due to that.
I'm losing hope in CS: Go going on sale
I would be shocked if it didn't go on sale. Its been on sale every sale I can remember.

What exactly is Lords of the Fallen? Action RPG? Comparable to?
Dark Souls.
The Mac version is 60 BRRRRRRL on Nuuvem, Steamplay and region-free I believe. It's been cheaper this sale I think, somewhere, but still.

A bit wary about Early Access stuff but how feature complete is Wreckfest at this point?

Is this in the sense of the difficulty of the game or just the overall combat/feel?
The combat, button mappings and tactical slow iterative learning gameplay. Although, there are differences such as not as an interconnected world, the way it approaches story, etc. I can't say too much since I haven't played Lords of the fallen.
EDIT: Although combat is different, people say it's more fluid, etc.

I got Dominions 3 in the auction 10 days ago and I'm already >30 hours in. I got a 970 for xmas but I'm still playing it!
It's kind of a Total War combined with the incredible number of systems (and lack of presentation) of a Nethack/Dwarf Fortress and a Pokemon-like menagerie of units. There are some interesting multi-perspective Let's Plays out there.

One thing about Lords of fallen that no one mentions when they compare it to dark souls is that it's much much shorter what a game length of about 10 hours only.

This sounds very interesting!

Stil a week left to go, who knows.
CS GO will definitely go on sale
So what if you get gifted a game in Steam from a region locked area (I.e Philippines). Can you activate it via a VPN with no worries?While using a VPN at all is technically against the rules, in practice Valve hasn't taken any action against those who use one to just activate a region-locked key or unlock a game early -- it's using one to aid in cross-region purchasing that may very well land you in hot water, as in doing so you're playing silly buggers with Valve's 30% cut (it doesn't see a cent from retail key activations, and obviously unlocking a game early harms nobody). You'll find no shortage of people here who've used a VPN for the former two reasons, myself included, and in fact VPNs are even necessary for game collectors as some region-specific games are exclusive to retail and tied to an activation-restricted sub (a fact I most recently encountered with the Korean version of Football Manager 2012). Also, Valve stopped outright banning accounts almost three years ago now in favour of a restriction-based system, so even if you broke even rule in the book, at worst you'd be prevented from using Steam Community features and adding to your library -- you would not lose access to your pre-existing library. Instead of this:
You'd see something like this:

come on wasteland 2, save this shitshow of a sale with a -50% discount
Nope. I've been waiting to see it up there all week.
Skyrim Legendary edition (All DLC included) is on GMG at a lower price (in £ at least at £6.79) than it was on Steam earlier this week.. £5.44 with code WINTER-SALE20-GROGRE. Only lower place was at £5 on uPlay (I'm guessing no Steam code on uPlay).

Glad I bought Legends of Grimrock 2! Such a good game. Played 5 hours straight yesterday. Better than the original in every possible way *and yes, better than Might & Magic X sorry Durante)
That was so tempting. I just have too many games to get around to to justify the $17 or so. I'll have to look at it next time around.

Damn...I need more coffee, forgot they leave them up for an extra day.
Featured Deals are up for 48 hours (but there are new ones every 24 hours). "Flash" deals are up for 24 hours (new ones every 12 hours).
Already gotten my moneys worth from Wreckfest, nothing but big stupid grins on my face all morning.
It really is one of the best iterative sequels I've ever seen, was taken aback by how much improvement they made to an already solid game.

How is Hearts of Iron III? Big fan of Grand Strategy games and Crusader Kings II and EU IV are my jam.

Save your money for Grimrock. I have an extra copy of Tales of Maj'Eyal from a bundle somewhere, I'll pm it to you when I find it.

It's lighter in many senses, less mico intensive.. I find that people more into near history get a huge kick out of it. I like EU games more, but they tend to overwhelm me..

is the 2.49 base game enough or is there any dlc necessary?
The three main DLC are usually recommended: For the Motherland, Semper Fi and Their Finest Hour. All the other DLC are just skins/music/crap.
Be warned all the command structure and chain of command is a mess for newcommers. It scares out a lot of people actually.
