And a demo at last.
Dang Ubisoft really gonna be splitting off? What are they gonna do about the people that ordered Unity already on the Steam Store? Or was the whole thing just an error? Unity or Far Cry 4 don't seem to be showing up for me either.
Also hiiii Steamgaf. How's everyone been enjoying Binding of Issac Rebirth and Advanced Warfare? I played through the AW campaign and I actually thought it was pretty good, Ended up beating it on both Hardened and Veteran already, and I skipped Ghosts and MW 2 and 3 so it felt pretty fresh for the campaign. Some of the levels were just really well done and I really overall enjoyed it. I haven't put much time into Binding of Issac yet though, but I will be soon. I still don't know how to feel about the music, I used to love the old tracks so much, and it's hard to accept the change -___-. The old boss theme was one of my favorites.

Rhak-Rhak, help me hype up Late to the Party.
yeah thats what I thought too at first. Strange really..
She doesnt look anything like Sakura at all.
Btw isnt Jaw a Vietnam vet?
cant wait for the (more and more likely) future of (at least) 4 different clients to launch 4 different companies games (Steam, Origin, Uplay and Battlenet)
I dont know how uplay works, but my problem with origin (well, appart from me wanting to have all my games in 1 unified place) is that their sales are REGIONAL. or at least it used to be when i paid attention?
whats that, dead space 3 is on sale in the US? goes to check the euro origin, nope still full price. I fucking hate that and its just one example how ass backwards they are. Not sure how sales on uplay work, of if they even run sales
but yeah, this blows, and sadly between this happening and DA: Inquisition (which I want to bad to ignore origin for the first time since Old Republic), I kinda have to "give up" and just embrace this I guess
edit: oh and also, for people that still refuse to believe that PC sales in general are but a blip in these companies radars, just the fact that they would rather lose the entire sale of the game rather than cough up the 30% to Valve, like on DLC and shit, goes to show how little they even care about selling the PC versions

We can post pictures of the characters before they took roids for five years straight instead.

Go for it, man. Like he said, the puzzles can be hard, but in my opinion they're never obtuse or nonsensical. And yeah, there are a few pixel hunts, and a few of the dreaded timing puzzles, but I'll always say this is a damn good adventure game.

-gasp- NIS has just provided me with like a years worth of potential avatars 
First one I'll be using the flan.

That's... not actually what I meant. (although I agree)
I meant this upcoming game, from the Unrest devs.
theyll be fine if they already bought it, I still have dragon age 2 on steam for example (among many others that are now gone)
oh lol. cool
Most likely everyone who already preordered the game will retain their copies.
Use the pudding one, it's so cute!-gasp- NIS has just provided me with like a years worth of potential avatars
Doesn't seem like it's planned or at least it isn't well planned.

yea i mean i'm just looking for a good story, i hope i'm good enough to survive the rest
good choice-gasp- NIS has just provided me with like a years worth of potential avatars
disgaea on pc would be pretty alright
but i don't like grinding so ehh
i guess some other people would be happy with it

Think I might actually take a break from steam until VC is out.
Everything I want to start on it I don't think I will finish before then.

Thanks for the replies. It looks like Ubisoft has literally just driven some Steam users to buy the game for cheaper from abroad. Silly Ubisoft!
I've probably been beaten but here goes:

That flan is pretty awesome. I kinda like the octopus too.

lol yea i was having a tough time picking between the two but decided I'll go flan first then the octopus, then the cat one.
i mean that was the one i said i was going for
flan, pudding, same shit. they're both delicious.thanks <3 I'm okay with the grinding but the series absoutely SHINES on psp/vita. if it was up to me they'd do the portable versions first then they can port it over to ps3/4. I have yet to buy disgaea D2 cause I'm patiently awaiting the vita port.
That game will be something new. I'm not very familiar with SRPGs in general, but the artstyle is captivating and the demo from way back when was rather fun. Not to mention it's the first step towards getting VF5FS and Vanquish(looking forward to these).
Oooh. I didn't knew the word flan. Interesting. My english vocabulary reached a new level.lol yea i was having a tough time picking between the two but decided I'll go flan first then the octopus, then the cat one.
i mean that was the one i said i was going for
I'm ready.
Thankfully, there aren't many other games coming out this year that I want to play, so my free time can vanish into FM15.

No buy
Related, Lords of the Fallen needs a DRM warning. It apparently uses the same thing.

why are they fiending? even if the game does get pirated their still going to make millions off the pc port. jesus, companies are so money hungry.

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.
Wow, that sucks.
Exactly what I was thinking. I can add a warning to Enhanced Steam, but only if it's mentioned somewhere (anywhere) on the page or in the EULA, which it's not. That's super shady.

We don't know if the DRM is what causes Lords of the Fallen's crashes, for all we know it could be bad coding in the dev's side.
I haven't seen widespread crash issues with Fifa 15, and if using that new DRM means that the game won't be cracked/won't be cracked until a lot of time passes then I'm allright with it, as it's not something like Securom which actively punished the user.
Yes, if you like adventure games and good stories then definetly check it out.

Denuvo's site makes it sound like it works in conjunction with or incorporates portions of SecuROM. Most likely it's a wrapper for SecuROM.
Cheers. Hah, NAM brings back memories for me, remembering when my friend bought it right when it was released. We were so hyped for some reason.

In a strange way this Ubisoft and Double DRM thing has made Consoles so much easier to deal with. Is it too easy/simple for them to use their Rockstar Club thing as a 'deterrent'?
Glass Rebel

Truly a great day for PC gaming
Oh good.
Because that always ends well.
The fact that GEETAV uses it will mean this new bad(? if it's the reason why Lords of the Fallen is such a buggy piece of shit, which I'm willing to accept) DRM will definitely be hacked in turn, like all the others before it.
Nobody loses except the paying customer, as usual.
Wayward manor is... kind of a letdown.
It's a really simple puzzler, but at least it's... sort of fun?
consoles are always easier to "deal with" if only in a "put your disc in and play, dont have to worry about settings"

The closest thing I could find about DRM in Lords of the Fallen was this in the EULA:
So this is probably that Denuvo DRM.
Well, their website brags that it took hackers 46 days to hack Fifa - a triumph that they're quite proud of. What other companies (like Rockstar) don't realize is that now the hackers know exactly what to look for, meaning next time it will be much easier for them to remove. I would lay all my Canadough on GTA 5 being hacked within a week. Of course, the DRM will never be removed so legitimate customers will be frustrated over it for years.

Well, to be fair, considering Lords of the Fallen runs pretty poorly on consoles as well. I'm not sure it's just the DRM.
That said, drm is never a good thing. :/

woah, woah hold the bloody phone wtf is dunovo?
The Lords of the Fallen page doesn't even mention it!
In better news (for anyone interested) I checked the Steam forums and A Bird Story launches tomorrow at $5 plus a launch discount
Warning for anyone who doesn't know this game will be short, estimated at an hour!

they need to, it is misleading. Strange the pcgaming wiki has not added it yet.
Or likely Steam DRM in case of Lords of the Fallen?
Site makes it sound like it's only meant to make editing files harder to remove actual DRM.
Lords of the Fallen doesn't seem to have serial of any sort, so it's not using Securom.

The console versions don't crash/hardlock the box tho, right?
