You can try it for free on Disney's website. It runs well on my computer, I may get the Steam version if it goes on sale.
They had Watch Dogs Deluxe for 7(Uplay), and I had to bite. Never got a Steam key on there, though, since I value them more.
Edit: And I did end up buying Blackgate. I'll give it a go after I play Oranges first.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Man, I just don't know what to think about Dragon Age. Mage is such a boring class, all I do is stand around, clicking the left mouse button (or hold it down to feel even lazier) and spam my abilities once they are ready. None of them (except one, the one my NPC mage has) are anything but attacks. Reminds me of how fun Bards were, cause at least you had a whole bunch of options.
And looking at all the abilities I can get, none of them seem really interesting or varied. No Illusion, no healing, no summoning nothing interesting. I'm thinking about restarting as a warrior, at least then I'm in the thick of it and don't just stand outside the battles. I'll probably also bump it down to normal, not cause it's difficult but cause I feel like the fights are just tediou and drawn out. I'll go back to hard once the game gets better.

Nice. I'm downloading it again to load it up and get them because why not.
Still, definitely not a game that I played and thought "well, this is missing some achievements", and I dig achievements. I'm interested in the ones related to the secret stuff though, I remember the devs saying there were things no one figured out or something like that.
that offer not from reseller this time , from the site it self
I'm blind on this game, outside of a few interesting clips. Do you not have access to a varied party?

I'm a little surprised and amused that I managed to start a discussion on keyboard shortcuts that went on for like, 5 pages...
"We don't like them." Isn't really a valid reason. I mean, it's their game, they're the ones making it, so that's their call. But when people keep asking for them, and your excuse is that you don't like them, it's pretty lame.
They also posted a nice little piece about achievements. I understand and can appreciate why people don't like achievements, but it's such a trivial little feature, there's not really any good reason to not have them, in my mind anyway.
Yep, seems so. See the link above.

Of course! How did you play it through? Without any stat-upgrades? Involuntary hard-mode, hah.You can upgrade health in the souls games?
I guess with some skill you could play through it staying at Level 1 but I am an old man now -_-

Beautiful. Gorgeous. Thanks for posting. Wishlisted.UltraWorld is going to release on Steam in two weeks. http://store.steampowered.com/app/331580
My Let's Play of UltraWorld is up. You can find it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq2Pt4HBH5I&list=PLdC3pP79J-A9vVBkItqiJkURqd3aUW2Lv
Quick Impression:
The game is billed as a first person explorer, so I was expecting something along the lines of Proteus, but it's actually more to it than that. It kind of feels like if Proteus mashed up with Lost the TV series.
The story of the game is this: There is an artificial intelligence that built a game around itself to attract gamers to enter the world (Which kind of weirded me out because Ultraworld won't release on Steam for another two weeks) and it's asking you to do mundane tasks but then reveals everything it said before was a ruse. Then as you explore there are other AI (that look similar to the main AI) that are trying to hide from the main AI and ask for you to find them in secret.
Bottom Line: it's Mysteryception built on the Crytek engine. Very pretty to look at and intriguing.

You are a reviewer too? Cool. Care to link to your channel/page?

G2A is an untrustworthy key reseller and banned here. You better not use them. They are most likely buying keys by credit card fraud I was told. So it is very possible that your game gets taken away from your steam account later.
Don't do it. As with everything in life. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I've been hearing that the Steam version might be different from the free install version though.. But I hope not. I bought all of the wave 1 figures for my little brother. All those cards are coming in handy. I think I'm going to wait till Winter Sale and hope for a 20% off.
Actually Pokemon came out today but I'm going to wait till Black Friday to see if there might be a sale somewhere. But Persona Q come out on the 25th on the 3DS and i'm excited.

There's no good reason once you release a version of your game WITH achievement not to put them in ALL versions of your game. I'm definitely with you. Let's see about those retroactive achievements in Ethan Carter now that I've gotten it redownloaded...

(1) Yeah, it was a sarcastic comment -- I don't think I've ever had a vitality more than 16 in the series... but my DS2 characters were hovering in the 11-13 range. Most of my skill points go into dex/str/int/faith initially with occasional updates to endurance and assorted other attributes, but usually "I need more health" is one of the last thoughts I have... usually I try to use armor and dodging to compensate -- and it's one of those "whoa, holy shit, I die in 1-2 hits, 3 max if I'm lucky.".
(2) People can lose themselves in a 3DS? People not named Salsa? Holy crap in a pita...
(3) MGS:GZ launched at $40 on PS4. It was price cut to $30 and now back to $20. Considering they know they have a wanted product and have been apparently making the game/port improved, I wouldn't be suprised to see it launch at $30. $40 would be ridiculous... $30 will get a bit of a backlash, but people will buy it, even if it's locked.

Well, to be fair, they were required to put the achievements in. And they obviously begrudged doing so. The achievements are deliberately mundane, and self-aware.
On the other hand, how utterly dull and lacking in creativity do you have to be to think that all achievements are, or need to be, about grinding? Especially when your game itself is practically made of grinding.
jshackles
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.
All this "adding the achievements to the game after it's released" talk makes me want to get a hold of those fine folks at Disney and have a talk with them about LEGO Pirates
It also blows my mind that the Xbox 360 achievements never got patched into Oblivion for the PC
and LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones, etc

That's not really the reason they gave... They explained how presenting the players with rewards might make them just focused on the rewards, rather than on the game, which is, in my opinion, a very valid argument, especially for a game like Don't Starve.
The absence of achievements is a design decision. I really doubt this is laziness, since they (reluctantly) added a bunch of uninspired trophies for the PS4 version, when Sony forced them to.
But yeah, it seems I opened the Pandora's box with this "debate"

Speaking of LEGO...
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=937540
I would be all over an Assassin's Creed LEGO game. Might be one collect-a-thon too far though or end up as some collectable laden singularity and suck out the very soul of both series'.
To be fair when did Steam get achievements? early 2010, late 2009? That's a while after Oblivion was done with. That and they were bloody awful for the base game. The Shivering Isles ones were a hoot to do though.

Well, good to know at least. I've bought the game anyway and plan to replay it at some point down the line, but it'd be cooler if they were able to include the achievements.
I'm pretty sure achievements were launched with the Orange Box titles in 2007. Granted, Oblivion was out by then but still.

Right now it's 8,99€ on PSN. They would immediately squander all the built up goodwill by asking for more than 20€ on Steam. Also don't forget that GZ is the gateway to Phantom Pain, the more people they 'get', the better.
Nope I stand corrected and you're complete right they were introduced with The Orange Box.
As much as I love achievements and that false sense of, well achievement some of the ones in Oblivion really weren't trying that hard at all. I think you can get 90% of them just playing the game and only a few of the Guild ones need a bit of thought to grab.
Well some of the comics seem to be aimed at a young audience but yeah really unless you make some wholesale changes to the title and premise of the series I can't see it flying with a fair few countries. I mean we had the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles here and any scene with Michelangelo had his nunchucks out was cut from the episode. I can't imagine what would happen to AC but a lot of censoring would go on before it would be allowed to corrupt the youths here.

The rhythym game is only on Vita, it's called Dancing All Night. Q is the 3DS Etrian Odyssey-esque one
So, why does Lego Star Wars trilogy never go on sale? Those pesky licence holder holding it back
I am a lot more optimistic on pricing. If they are paying so much attention to the community and even making announcements in more PC centric locales, I'd hope they can get their pricing to make sense, although that may actually be more konami bound in which case... I'm not sure, but Revengance was priced well.
I hope for around the £10 / $19 mark during the sale at least, which is when it will be up for pre-order, and then on sale day 1 of the winter sale

Short answer, Disney. Though fingers crossed times are a changing (and now I've got Bob Dylan stuck in my head) and some decent discounts might happen the next couple of sales. I mean it's been 2 years since they were last discounted decently and I'd take -50% off.

HUSH.
Good point. I'm also unsure as to why the Ubi games can't somehow get along with uPlay and still have Steam achievmeents... my poor Watch_Dogs.
Is that the normal price or is it on sale? And is it PS4 or PS3?
I think they asked the current price of MGR:R for it's port back in January of this year, so that bodes well for them doing $19.99 with a 10% pre-order discount. I'd bite immediately on that. But I wouldn't be surprised if they asked for >$20 either.
And don't even get me started on regional pricing differences.
Are you on Steam at the moment? I want to have a chat with you.

It has to be something with the movie licenses, I'd wager; combined with the LEGO licenses... I mean Indy and Star Wars (and now that it's here, Pirates) haven't been on sale since I started building my Steam library. I now have over 2400 games and still haven't bought them because they're never on sale.

So you expect the Steam "normal" pricing to match the black friday PS4 sale pricing? :lol
I'd say if you expect anything less than 20€ (and then a pre-order discount, like MGR:R had) you're setting yourself up for failure. :\

No, I'm saying they lowered the price on these other platforms already so much that they can't possible ask anything approaching 30€ on PC. I predict 15€ during the initial discount.
