No idea. The only game I've downloaded via Uplay is the beta for The Crew.
Quoting myself to say that after waiting 10 minutes at that splash screen, the game finally started. Then I had to wait 3-4 minutes for the game to load up to the main menu. Then another 4 minutes wait for the intro video to start, then just a couple seconds for the dream section where I could control the character at the end of which another loading that seemed like it would take minutes started and so I killed the game. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the game itself or something wrong with my computer, but I can't believe that such atrocious loading times are normal for this game.

It appeared to resume for me - I was struck with a power outage mid-download (also The Crew beta, incidentally), and it picked up where it left off.
I've been having a rather difficult time trying to enjoy Watch Dogs. It has a nice atmosphere, and there is potential fun to be had, but this Aiden Pierce guy is extremely unlikeable. I really just want to punch him in the face in every cutscene so far.
Maybe later I'll be in a better mood, and then give it another go.
Edit: This Zyklon talk reminds of the THAT scene from Falling Down.

Btw I've been there with my class a few years ago, pretty spooky place even now
So, I started Dragon Age Inquisition last night.
First, the character creator is amazing, except for the terrible hair of course. The only haircuts I could stomach were some of the shortest ones. Most are just laughable.
Anyway, I went with a female elf mage and I chose the american voice. It's a really strange combination lol.
I'm playing on nightmare and it's pretty challenging so far, especially with only 2-3 abilities per character. I had to turn off the tactics and behaviours, though. They were much better in DAO and DA2, but I find them pretty useless here.
There's something I'm really not liking, though: the tactical camera is a mess. I can't zoom out as much as I'd want and the characters don't autoattack after moving them.
I don't know, even DA2 without the tactical camera was easier to manage than DAI.
The final enemy of the prologue was pretty difficult, but most of the difficulty came from the horrible camera. If I could see most of the battlefield at once, things would be a lot better, instead I can only see a tiny fraction and I have to constantly move the camera around :/
But apart from this, I can't wait to go home tonight and finish exploring

The control is still designed around console control scheme, camera plays better with one, and mage's normal attack feels more natural with trigger instead of left mouse button.
Yeah I'm playing with my DS4. Feel a lot better.
I imagine so, but it would be too slow with a pad, the way I play the game :/
I don't like keeping pressure on a button to attack, so I only use the tactical view. I just wish it was designed better.
I still like the combat, though. After all, party based RTWP is my favourite genre. I just need to get used to it.
Happy Birthday!
It's happening D:
Steam page is up.
Also shame on BinaryPork and BernardoOne wish listing it and not telling anyone.
Finally ;P
Maybe this thread will help? It's maybe old(2011), but at least they talk about the long loading times ;P.

It's actually not slower with a gamepad, X,Y,B and RB for skills, D-pad to switch between party members, works pretty well.
However I don't know where to find potions in controller UI.
Happy Birthday!

Just 100% Mordor, incredible game though now I want more content. The main missions are crappy but the most fun I've had in it was going after the achievements because they require you to set up and manipulate the Captains in interesting ways. Sucks that the season pass and DLC stuff that's coming out for it doesn't add to the good parts of the game.

Yeah he was really great, his name is Michael Mando and he did some Far Cry 3 live action web videos around the games launch that are pretty cool.
Gradually been building up my Steam wallet in anticipation of the Winter Sale. There are a bunch of little games I've had my eye on (Shovel Knight, Capsule, etc), but can't justify buying while my backlog is so big. There are great games I've barely scratched the surface on. I'm going to pick up the absolute steals in the sale and then try and get by on what I have for as long as possible next year. We'll see how long that lasts. I did gather up a few cards for Isaac and Isaac: Rebirth in case of a meta-game though. Usually I wouldn't bother, but by planning ahead I've managed to get them fairly cheap. by throwing in a few low offers and just waiting.
I finally got the Workhorse achievement yesterday (Crazy Plant Shop). I like irony of it: you get to be the workhorse by refusing most of the jobs on daily basis every day (><)
I see zky is mad at me, probably for not disclosing any of her secrets yesterday!
I'm going to randomly refer to people as she seeing as it annoys rhaknar, need to take advantage of this precious knowledge.
Happy Birthday Chariot.
how is that even possible?!
FF13 and 13-2 (if you go for 100%) are like finishing 25 or so other games in length.
I need to finish 13, VC and play Claire too, btw

Yeah, that isn't normal compared to what I experienced. The only issues I had with running Hunted was the lack of customization options.

This might be a extremely specific request. In Sniper Elite 3, my mouse (MX Revolution) will not activate the aim down sights (scope) mode. The game is only registering a single click instead of a constant one that is needed. Is there a way to switch the aim down sight to single click instead of a hold?
My backlog= Games on my HDD now
Also I need to download FFXIII yet
So you have backlog for backlog. That's clever.
Oh if we're talking about games on HDD. Then I could probably finish mine pretty soon.My backlog= Games on my HDD now
Also I need to download FFXIII yet
no I won't, I have like half of my total games installed. I really should stop installing them and only playing them for 30 mins.
FFXIII took me 24 hours to download.. With my slow internet. Good luck.
I need to prioritize my games. I should play games I never play before first. Before replaying the others. But... Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations keep calling me D: and they don't even have Steam cheevos!
we need to go deeper!
Actually I wonder why snake has so little games installed, I have ~100 in now playing category alone and that's maybe half of installed games.
edited: yeah, FF13 is pain to download, it took about 3 hours for me! unheard of! (><)
The reason I want to finish it now, I want all those GBs out of my HDD
The better question is patch 3 for AssCreed Unity out yet? That game need a lot of patching.Is the Day 1 patch even out for Far Cry 4?
Also speaking of FFXIII. I won't be playing it until December. Waiting for that 1080p patch. I just don't understand why it's taking them so long to just put out a 1080p patch. It honestly shouldn't be taking them a month if they announced the patch in November.
Squeenix, you're ridiculous.
Edit: 3 hours?! Try 24 hours here. *grumbling* I hate you..
@Punished Snake:
Yeah I can understand focusing on FFXIII-2 but it shouldnt take a month to write some codes to make the game 1080p. I don't know much about video games programming but I honestly don't think it's that hard to make a little patch for that.

It metaphorically blew my mind when I overheard a familiar voice on Orphan Black, looked at the screen, and saw Vaas. I hadn't realised until then that his look was modelled on the chap who had voiced him.
Happy birthday!
I read up some more info on Vaas and the guy who voiced him (and based his look on).
Apparently Michael Mando auditioned for a different character (named Lupo) with similar characteristics to Vaas. He didn't get the part, but they liked Mando so much they scraped the entire character and created Vaas based on Mando.
I heard the new villain in FC4 suppose to be pretty good. I hope he live up to Vaas' performance.
