Ubi pulled the same crap with South Park but a few days before release and only a couple of daya delay. This is ridiculous.

Shouldnt be a problem playing the Game using a VPN. Since I have been in China I almost use it every time I open Steam. I asked support and they said if its just playing, it doesnt matter.
It matters when there are unregularly transactions from all over the world, they told me like if you one day buy a Game from Russia, the next day from Brazil, then Germany, then HK and wherever.

Thanks for Grimind!
This, release day embargoes, Uplay, announcing games then denying they were ever announced (Beyond Good and Evil 2). Just a few more signs and Ubocalypse will be upon us. Best start polishing up your francophone.
from what I read, I would have to be offline all the time if I want to play the game before the release date?
I really hope that we get the Football Manager games in Germany, now that EA has canned their own Fifa Manager.

Im not sure, but the BG&E2 "Trailer" was always just a Techdemo and was announced as one.
Not sure about that. Never played a Game before Release in my region
I am interested but I don't have the game =S lol

HOLY SHIT WHATOMG A-Train 9 is on Steam! Only two years after its international release, and four years after its original japanese release
I wish more people could get into these games. They're even more sandbox-y than SimCity, and the whole building-a-city-around-transit concept's alien to most Western gamers. Still, once you get things going, you'll soon have yourself a great Japanese metroplex to sculpt.

Sadly, I wouldn't hold you breath over that one. I think their FIFA series covers the same deal EA had for FIFA Manager. Likewise Konami have a deal with the German National team for Pro Evo series.
But you never know...
It didn't really demonstrate anything other than tease a sequel for a game people loved, though. Maybe it was a tech demo for Uplay, which is clearly powered entirely by schadenfreude and scum.
Nobody have it currently. Comes out May 31 I believe.

Never even heard of it. Wishlisted.

It was a Trailer for one of their new engines for the next-generation at that time IIRC and after people thought its the Game they clearly said its not a Game. Just a techdemo featuring characters from BG&E, because even journalists thought its the Trailer for BG&E2.

Definitely check out A-Train for DOS (a pot of A-Train III originally released for Japanese PCs), which was Maxim's first and second-to-last interaction with Artdink and this franchise (they later ported A-Train IV to the PlayStation as A-Train again). Here's Lazy Game Reviews' take on the DOS game.
If A-Train 10 (A-Train X?) will ever be a thing I hope it won't take two years to get localized and it will have Steamworks. I think I still have my physical copy of A-Train 9 somewhere. Might pick up the Steam version on a sale.

Good lord, we'll be lucky if A-Train ever hits it somewhat big, given its troubling localization history and how unwilling simulation gamers are to get into it. The last isometric installment, A-Train 7, still hasn't gotten over here, which is a shame given how polished it looks.
I just looked through the Wikipedia timeline and I was definitely misremembering something. I have the feeling the un-announcement I was thinking of was about the other leaked video that looked like a scene from the sequel, whereas the first teaser-trailer one was both a demonstration of their new engine technology and apparently a seqeul annoucement(?) As of two years ago the game was supposedly still in development for next-gen systems according to Michel Ancel, so I'm either relieved or more confused than ever

Supposedly its CPU-limited. So I guess we could run it at medium @ 30fps 720p? I've got a 635M and only a 1366x768 screen anyway, so the 720p doesn't bother me
Luckily got a i7 for my laptop. I'm hoping Ubi's multi-threading skillz have improved
One thing that would have helped significantly was retaining AC3's visual differences for sailing. Like... if you went to full speed, your sails would pop out on the sides. In AC4, they don't seem to change at all. Seems odd to me.

I also have an i7, let me know how it runs if you try it, if I can run it at 720p with high settings I'll be happy.
Are Uplay keys region-locked? I wonder if I should just sell my Watch Dogs key for a huge profit. Don't have much interest in the game.
Why was that thread locked? Seems like a legitimate discussion topic for me.

I noticed earlier that the RU subs for Watch Dogs have their own key DLC so I think it does have the dubious honour of being the first language-locked Uplay game.
GAF has been a bit tighter lately but it's not like the discussion was gonna blossom into something other than repeating what was already being said

It's strange, but something like Killer is Dead excites me more than Watch Dogs. :/
I cant think of many things less strange than that

Maybe you're on a watchlist. Since your previous fiasco.
Well the only way I could is if I pirate the game. Not gonna touch uPlay with a 10 metre pole

I found this video on youtube, seems to be barely playable, I'll wait for a lower price.

Someone from Austria in this thread ?
And yet I see lots of reviews with opposite opinions on these aspects.
Not trying to defend Watch Dogs necessarily, but cherry picking the worst bits of reviews seems a tad unfair.
well, im not personally trying to shit on the game, it's rather a case of RPS being a PC-specific review and the site where me and others here tend to pay more attention to.
what I quoted about that specific review is the final paragraph wich tends to be a general summary tho, not cherry picking
From what I've seen, console versions get 9/10, PC reviews (PC Gamer, RPS) ~7/10.

That quote is lifted directly from the review, it's how the reviewer summed up the entire article.
Hardly cherry picking.

I dunno, RPS tends to be a bit overly negative and blows some things out of proportion for the sake of having heftier bullet lists these days.
They could be right, I sure as shit am not spending $60 to find out because open world games and I are kinda done for a long while after SR4 (how can you even top that) but I just don't find myself putting much stock in their reviews these days.
Hell of a different site, it is.
