Well 3 and the top tier one is a Uplay store exclusive. But these are for us lucky Europe folk where as are transatlantic cousins only get 2.

Basically not worth the time twisting your underwear up about :p




And no I'm not bloody biased either as I think they're a load of tat bar the entry level ones.

Of course there's a Big Ben edition, there just had to be.

As I said in the thread here, someone should tell Ubi the difference between Big Ben and Elizabeth Tower. Then again most people don't have a flipping clue what Big Ben actually is,

Damn, I seem to have damaged my DualShock4. :\
It fell from my hands earlier today (from, like, 30 cm) and now the second I wiggle the USB cable it disconnects from PC.
Anyone here using DS4 through BT on PC? Does it work without a PS4 to set pairing up? What's the battery life on this thing?

I use my laptop's built-in BT and it works pretty well. Not too hard to pair, just have your computer search, and then hold down Share and press the Playstation button. Windows should be able to detect it pretty easily.
Edit: No PS4 needed. Battery's typical of what you'd see on PS4.

Try a random (but existing) German address. Or add me on Steam.

Entering a German address works, but means I have to pay in Euros, and therefore I'll get a currency exchange transaction fee on my card. I can avoid this with Paypal, so I've added you on Steam :)

Edit: Thanks derExperte!
 
I went ahead and installed the Windows 10 Preview on my spare laptop (didn't want to chance something going wrong with my desktop)...so far so good. I'll mess arounf with it more later but I like it. I also have no issues with 8 (or 8.1).

It works without a PS4. Like Dsyndrome said, you just hold the share and PS button and it'll start blinking. You then pair with Windows and you're done. If you use DS4Windows you just have to press the Option + PS button to disconnect, and the PS button to reconnect. It's super fast.

Battery life is pretty bad. It'll last like 4-6 hours? Maybe? Oh, and check to see if you damaged the controller or just the cable. My old cable does the same thing, that's why I just went with BT. I'm glad I did.

If you're on Windows 8, look for a modern (BT4.0 v2) dongle that's plug and play (uses Windows Drivers). If you're on 7, good luck. I went with a BTD-400 from Amazon and it's been amazing.

Happy Birthday JaseC.

Cheers. :) I don't chat much on Steam. I mean, I'll respond when spoken to, but other than that I don't really partake.


We should start taking bets on whether or not Ubi will again be compelled to retroactively cancel the Season Pass.

Seeing as Unity's season pass got you some weapons and skins, an expansion, the retailer preorder missions, AC Chronicles China and a 2014 Ubi game of your choosing I'd say that's the best value season pass to date :p

Should I buy all them Tex Murphys and actually play them?

I'd play Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive, then Overseer.

You can skip the first two games and revisit later if desired, although Overseer is kind of a remake of the first game (with Tex telling a story about an early case).
 
Xenoblade Chronicles X dood!!!

that's kinda about it though. It seems like they're winding down on the WiiU, which kinda blows because Zelda is a 2016 game so what the fuck else are people on that platform supposed to play?

I mean, i'm fine, i have a 80 game backlog on Steam alone so no tears are streaming down this face but, man, I'll take a SMG HD remaster or anything. Mario Maker can't be the big splash for the holiday.

Not a peep about Metroid is rather disappointing.

I just realized Nuclear Throne will never go on sale while it's still in early access and I have been waiting all this time ...

I really should read storepages more often.
