I know that feel bro. Well, except for Anno. I picked the up at Christmas.

I liked FC3. Played it on console. Most people shit on the story, but I never found it to be particularly offensive. The writer intended it to be a certain way, and I don't think he necessarily failed in that respect.

It switched price on me in cart and didn't notice. Usually you have to accept it twice and it displays a message saying price was change. But I didn't get any of that, or didn't notice it anyway.

Wow, this X free weekend is no joke. Looks like every game is part of the free weekend, not just Rebirth.

Or Driver SF, I've been wanting that thing to go on sale forever now =_=
Well, to be fair, I can't think of a single open world game with good mission design. It's not a high bar.

We both did the same thing as soon as the sale went up.
Anno wasn't on deep discount for Americans since Ubisoft forgot they named it Dawn of Discovery.
Assassin's Creed II is considered the best in the series.
I didn't like it
Apparently AC II isn't even on sale though. I wonder if there will be rotating games throughout the weekend. Generally they are set up differently if that is the case, but I can always hope.

I remember reading some stuff about that. thanks for the input
Unlike most of Ubisoft's older catalog, Dark Messiah is SteamWorks and can be picked up on GMG or Amazon quite frequently.

Well they reduced the base price of W_D so it's actually a good discount.
Well while we all wait for the SteamGAF GOTY's (yes, yes I'll get around to resubmitting mine soon), the BAFTA Game Awards are on tonight in little under 2 hours.

Ohhhhh I get it Ubisoft, you don't want to put the more tactical Rainbow 6 titles on sale while you're trying to pimp the beta for your new, more balls to the wall, action version.

Make it 33% of that and I'll get it.
I *know* I probably won't be able to enjoy it for long, so 5 seems like a fair price for an hour or two of "entertainment".

Perhaps, but not low enough for me yet.
Also noticed that the Freedom Cry DLC costs more than the stand alone game. I see I need to wait until I am home from work to "strategize" my purchases...

Guerilla was my GOTY 2009 and I don't think the mission design is particularly special.
It's the world and the destruction engine that made the game so much fun.

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.
Cool - was wondering if you were going to recast your vote or not. I'm also looking at you, Grief.exe!
I'm tallying the votes as I got along, and built the photoshop templates for the winners announcements yesterday. I'm tentatively planning on revealing the results next Wednesday but I'll have a more firm date/time in place in a few day's time.
I'm going to follow MRORANGE's lead last year, and count them down one at a time and give people time for discussion.
Shantae could be nice but all these pixelated games look really ... eww.
I know people like it but personally I'd much rather have high resolution 2D "Sprites" instead of this unnecessary throwback (called nostalgia?) to how games looked back then due to hardware limitations. I simply can not appreciate it the way others do.
But oh well, at least it seems to be a good game and not completely driven by nostalgia so maybe I'll bite.
Wait for Far Cry 4 if you consider to ever play that game. Its the overall better game but its way too similiar to FC3. You'll appreciate FC4 far more if you haven't played its prequel. Also halfway through FC3 I really struggled to keep playing that game (but FC4 also has a pretty big low close to the end).

It has adjustable fov.

What's the difference? i mean, what's better about FC4?
It was originally a DSi game, IIRC.
I would be interested in FC4 if it was like $20.
Not really feelin' any of these Ubi games on sale. Everything is either a game I have no interest in playing, a game I would buy if it was cheaper, or games I've already played on console.
Even my interest in Valiant Hearts has cooled significantly.

Nope. There'd be a big notification it it was.
*hi5*
It was $0.05 in Indonesia? Damn, i missed it :/
The way sprites scale makes the initial resolution almost negligible.
Shovel Knight, for example, has really low-resolution sprites that can scale cleanly to 4K and above. Just as SNES games can look very clean on 4K display devices with the right upscaling equipment.
Admittedly, 2D sprites are created at higher resolution now to give the sprite a little more detail, but they are still relatively small (240x240p).
Risky's Revenge was originally a DS game, but still looks nice when upscaled to your monitor's native res.

Valve should allow iOS/android downloads of mobile games on the service. Sitting here for the next 40 mins before an exam with nothing but my phone and gameboy micro.
Not adjustable enough, unless I'm thinking of the other guerilla titles that required unpacking a file to increase the fov. I think the default for one of them was 65 which was really awkward in third person.

For me, the setting and atmosphere in FC4 were the main selling points. The antagonist was also far more villainous while remaining enigmatic at the same time. Overall I think everyone agrees it just had the better story.
Back in the good ol' days of cross region trading gone by.

Lots of big patches got released but afaik it's still an average game.

I'll reserve my reaction with giant animated gif banners and red text.
Definitely go for 3 if you haven't played FC3 or 4 yet. It's impossible to go back if you've played FC4.

haha same with me except xenoverse.
You can change it in the menu and it goes from 45 to 85.
85 looks like this:
45 is default fov.
so this old laptop I got is getting super hot and does this

Knowing Ubi, it's going to take some time for the price to go down on FC4. I'm probably pulling the trigger on FC3.

3D Out Run is out on 3DS.
Everyone who owns one really has to buy some of those remasters, they're absolutely lovely and not just lazy re-releases. Here's a making-of interview about Out Run, excellent read and they do them for every 3D release. http://blogs.sega.com/2015/03/05/sega-3d-classics-3d-out-run-part-1/
