With the four-pack being $3 on the Indonesian store you should be able to find a copy for a mere ToD ticket.

SEGA might be afraid of doing a straight port. Even if they bring the assets into full CANVAS, the interface art and low-fidelity textures/models will be more of a turn-off for new players. And this doesn't count how divisive 2 still is, both for debuting on a system many didn't want to buy and for hiding the game behind high-school anime tropes/plotting and a tedious character level-up system. 3 is a much better choice if I had to go with one PSP installment, but who knows how expensive an up-port could be if Little Stone and SEGA decide to combine the maps and rescan artwork/assets for monitor scaling.
tl;dr Neither would be as successful as VC even in the same market circumstances, based on expenses relative to revenue and the games' quality compared to VC.
That said, I would love to eat crow. Speculating right now is premature; we still don't via surveys or general analysis why and through what avenues PC gamers are buying this up.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Bonzer mate!
I'm still on the fence about preordering Pillars. Although it's only R$69,99 on Nuuvem (== $28 USD == $32 AUD)
I might just wait a little longer.
The updated SLI bits have made things a bit better.
I need to start looking into VPNs for Inquisition, how does that shit work, you use it to unlock a game, and then need to keep it "on" or just for activation?
im not even sure if its the same on Origin
edit: to play Inquisition tuesday I mean, not to buy it, I already bought it on GMG

Damn, when this happened. I have DF-9 copy, but not Hack n' Slash
You got it from Steam or elsewhere? Only applies to Steam Store purchases.

Let's do this!
...after I get back from work. （　ﾟ∩ﾟ）
How much did you trade for it?
I think its just one of those genres that will always have long legs. Kind of how XCOM has been popular all these years. I think VC could be same for PC. I've never played VC2 and I'm sure its not as good as VC because of the limitations but..if Sega does a decent job on the port and the price is right I'm sure the game will be well received. And I doubt these ports are costing these companies all that much $ anyways. Even if they aren't very profitable at launch they'll surely make more their money back n than some after couple steam sales. It would be kinda of messed up if they didn't bring VC2/3 over to pc. Especially since the psp is like dead discontinued device. I'm sure Sega wants to preserve its games and PC is best place to do it. Hopefully they do.
1 ToD. Last copy from the guy too. I think there are still around.
Ozium please, my wallet is empty right now, don't make me buy another game.

Nice, I'm going to pick it up myself. Have a proper romp through the trenches.
There is a thread about doing this on Gaming Discussion, search for Origin India.

Ideally SEGA would pony up the money and get these games reworked for STEAM, but the investors usually don't wish to break even, they want good profit margins. Let's wait and see if the other names being thrown around, like Platinum stuff and Xbox games we cannot emulate, do well first. SEGA could also push a sequel port alongside a new game for PC/PS4/XB1 if they wanted to increase launch presence.

Hm... how is Verdun nowadays? I bought it last year when it was on sale and played it only a couple of times. At that time, it felt kinda janky, but seemed to have potential and I hoped it'll emulate some aspects of the shooting in Red Orchestra. Admittedly, I have a bias for Red Orchestra 2, moreso Rising Storm because of the more... "easier" maps, the Eastern Front was depressing and the difficulty of the maps reflected that, heh.

Full Mojo Rampage --MB-0991E96742AF3CA5- Taken by Milamber. 3 entrants total.

They added ballistics to the weapons so you have to lead your target and adjust for gravity now like in RO2, animations have been improved, they added chemical warfare (with 4 different tpes of gas) and more squads/weapons... and new maps since last year.. I think their projected full release date is february 2015 (it's EA now)
they also added an australian server due to popular demand lol
edit: also each map has a totally different feel to it, based on actual locations from the war
Ugh this is annoying, Far Cry 4 and AC:Unity are a full $60 on Steam store but all of the other older Ubi games have lower regional pricing for me, around 50% cheaper than the US price. I was hoping that I could get it for the same price as Origin India. It's even $60 on my region's Origin store.
Man today has not been a nice day, I've been throwing up so much, I spent half the day in the bathroom and then I just saw this video and it made me feel even worst. How can a series I once loved so much gone so wrong.
Its sad that in order to run this game beautifully you need a monster PC and even then its still look bad compared to what would be getting with other open world games. It seem like Ubisoft forgot that it should be quality over quantity.
This happened more in AC2 and Brotherhood quite often. Oh hey let jump from this building to the next, and missed! *drop to your death* at least Unity did something right

is it true that uplay store opens steam? maybe they are ditching uplay?

Ummm... They forgot that like more than a decade ago, or they never learned. They released yearly sequels of Splinter Cell, other Tom Clancy games, and Prince of Persia since forever until AC took their place.

Hmm, that is kind of weird, I opened the Uplay client, clicked buy now on Unity and it took me to the Steam page.
EDIT: and for some reason now my Steam currency in Russian Rubble... but the text is in English.
Well yes there is that. But its sad to see that the quantity over quality approach is in the game itself.
Aka the obscene amount of civilians that does absolutely nothing but as a way to immerse you in the game. But when the game is running so poorly and badly optimized. All those glitches and pop-in ruin the immersion anyway.
Well.. I guess I can always go back to playing AC2..

I don't get the Ubisoft hate. I have been playing this great recent Ubisoft game for the past few days
called Child Of Light. Hopefully AssCreed and whatever other garbage they are pushing out are used to fund more games made with UbiArt engine because that's the one that could actually used to do something interesting.

Same.
Well their stock did drop 9%.
But did Unity sell well? As long as their games pull a profit, they will continue to do this shit.

Of course it did. One could name drop like 100 part-of-the-problems from this topic alone.
Bu-bu-but 1786 Paris looks so authentic ;_;
Yeah sucks, I think if the PC version of FC4 is solid, I'd have gotten it at launch for 30 bucks or so, it's been a while since I played my last FPS and first-person-open world game, FC4 seems top notch. But let's see... maybe there is another 100$ of microtransaction shit.
I wonder too. I bet it did, pre-orders must have been crazy after all the hype.
