Watch_Dogs....it will get the same treatment from modders as GTA4, will it not?
The Beyond Good & Evil era was a long time ago. I miss it. ;_;

It's not just that, I don't think I'm ready to sink another 65 hours into collecting
You're sick. Why would you do this ;_;
It's at times like this I'm glad I read this thread back to front. Years of diving to the sport pages first pays off.
It's alright in the prequel it turns out that

I just reformatted my PC, but I backed up my game folders thinking I could just drop them back into SteamApps and they would be picked up, but Steam won't recognize them. Any advice?

Check your Steamsettings. You can choose where your Gamefolder is located.
Maybe Steam changed the default one.
steamapps\common, not just steamapps. In the future you can just back up the entire steamapps folder.
Obviously, we just had AssCreed 4, which is basically the same game with a different setting.
Nobody ends a LEGO game and immediately starts another one. Nobody sane that is (sorry Milamber).
What I'm saying is - wait for the game to go <$5, I'm sure you'll have a beefier hardware by the time, and maybe Ubi patches the game a bit by then. In the meantime, if you want to play a collectathon, there's loads of other AssCreed/LEGO games out there, I'm sure you haven't beat all of them yet.

Why do you do this to yourself?

Pretty much my thoughts, since honestly I'll probably get bored of waiting and just not care by the time someone uploads a playthrough. I still have flashbacks of playing the first four Asscreeds right before III came out. It was a terrible idea. I still have Lego HP 4-7 and LOTR to play, plus I never picked up some of them like Marvel, so I'm in no rush to buy another.
They're some of the best parts of IV though. The AC games need more oppressively atmospheric areas.
OCD Perfectionism is a horrible thing to have when playing Ubi's games.
On the other hand, you'd only need like two or three games a year and you're set. Good money saver.
I guess I'm a masochist? Ubi's handling of mechanics is so wrong for me. I also approach them badly.
Hey! Here's a new mechanic that you couldn't access before but is now unlocked throughout the world.
I then proceed to drop everything and finish every available side quest pertaining to that mechanic. Even if the main quest is right next to me.
EDIT: This time I won't do that for Watch_Dogs. I 'll only do them when I come across them in-world.

Arent sidequests and "collecting" things an integral part of those Games nowadays? I mean if I would just play all the story-missions in those Games, I would be finished in like 4-5 hours.

I've only played one ship mission in AC3, one dive bell mission in AC4, no 100% in anything, what am I?

Does that work with the PC version? o:
This first step is admitting you don't have a problem.
Umm, not really.
Both LEGO and AssCreed games can be 100%-ed in roughly 30 hours, that's what... a week, two of playing tops?
Just thirty hours? Geez. Just the additional objectives in missions in AC3 alone would probably take me that long.
Smart.

And then RAGE ended with you entering a room...What about Doom 2 where you finished the game by shooting John Romero in the face with a rocket?
id had some fun bosses
Granted, I've only played Ezio's trilogy (and didn't care for 100% synch in story missions there, just the collectibles) and LEGO LotR (100.0% there though). Maybe AC3 is more padded out.
Not sure why would anyone want that, 30 hours spent with a collectathon is almost too much (DK64 could be 100% in that time and people back then complained that the game was too long).

Why can't we add packs to our wishlist?

So are people in Asia screwed? Are CD keys available for those who preordered? You could then manually add it to Uplay and ditch Steam. I'm also way mkre willing to engage in VPN shenanagins with my Uplay a count than my 400 game Steam account.
Thanks. Gotta see if I can grab it then
check your PM
The wishlist feature only supports app pages but this is something that Valve could easily improve upon.
Ouch, sad how far they've fallen. I wonder if half that lawsuit with Oculus is Bethesda having a buyer's remorse tantrum over the id purchase now that Carmack's left.

Thanks bro!!!
I will redeem it later, when I am back home, since somehow Indiegala, for whatever reason, seems to be blocked right now..
Thanks~

I think I'm going to sit out Watch Dogs since I found AssCreed4 disappointing and felt the ship combat and mechanics had worsened since AssCreed3.
Why must you homogenize your games Ubi? Whyyy??

I just bookmarked the pack I was interested in, though it seems like it would be something simple Valve could add to wishlists. Then again, it's something simple Valve can add.

Because people buy their games.
Because it seems to be working for them. Formula that a wide range of people enjoy, just change up the setting every now and then, and you're good to go.
I'm surprised you felt that ship combat and mechanics were worse in AC4 than AC3 though, I thought they'd refined them somewhat. I did think setting, story and characters in particular were a step back compared to AC3 though.
I've been having the itch to replay Crysis(been 4 years), but the Origin version(Trilogy Pack) doesn't run on Win 8 64-bit. Apparently, they've removed the bin64 from the game's folder.
Then, I thought maybe the Steam version was different, but it turns out that it suffers the same. Since I googled this issue it appears that you need to download a bin64 folder/files
and a cracked .exe. This is a really shitty situation, as I don't want to use that method.
Going to have to download Warhead and test that one as well. Anyone else not able to run the game do to a 32-bit exe. Ancient games run on this OS, but not Crysis?

I would have enjoyed AC3 a lot more if I was allowed to play as Haytham all the way through. He's the best character in the series and barely features.

Thanks for Litil Divil !
Anyone knows if Watch Dogs will run decently on a 650M laptop GPU?

I kind of want Ubi to revisit Haytham before he became a Templar (no the book doesn't count), maybe in a side game like Comet or something.
should i pull the trigger or wait for the $5-7.50 range?
Thanks for listing that, as I have wanted to get that one. The atmosphere/art-style are just up my alley.
Haytham was great, but even Connor is leagues better than Edward Kenway in AC4, who is easily the worst protagonist in the series so far.*
*Well, in the Animus anyway.
apparently this affects every digital platform. so it is locked out for Origin, Steam and Uplay. However, it still releases today on Singapore PSN so it only seems to be for PC. Someone told me to use VPN to play the game but i am not sure if i should do that. Steam also gave me a key for Uplay already so I am not sure if they will even let me cancel the pre order
