Yeah GMG started out as the place to get cheap newly released games and seeing how big they've become, someone should have made a big deal about them if they were shady? Like with g2play and places like that.

doesn't Nuuvem have the lowest price for AC Syndicate? (about $35 for Standard and about $40 for Gold Edition)...need a VPN to buy though

Nuveem has brazilean prices.

 

[jshackles]

You guys think it's likely we'll see some deals on Fallout 4 closer to launch or on launch day? DLGAMER is the lowest I can find right now at $51

A bit of a stretch - but if you're in the US and have a GamersClub Unlocked membership from Best Buy, you can get the game for $48 which includes a $10 BestBuy gift certificate and a poster. Of course that's for the physical release.

Why would you post this without spoilers? I loved the trailers and loved that line and was excited to see it in the game.

Why did you not spoiler-tag it?

My friend, why did you?

Worry not Veggie, it's not really a spoiler. The line is in the game, and it's largely the same as in the trailer.

They just cut the trailer in a way that the lines can work out of context of the full conversation.

 

[JaseC]

But it still confirms that GMG wasn't removed from list, so it could be just missing. (It missing some Nexway / Metaboli affiliates too).

Many if not most of of the other Nexway/Metaboli sites don't actually sell, say, Anno 2205, which suggests to me that Ubi is partnering with specific outlets rather than the two broader parent companies but there's some key sharing going on. Regardless, the fact remains that GMG's price on Anno 2205 and Syndicate is too low to be anything other than a price mistake if it is legit -- at 30% off it'd be giving up its cut entirely.

When a Steam release?

 

[neoemonk]

A few years ago I decided I would quit buying AC games on Steam sales until I caught up to the ones I had already purchased.

I have Revelations but I've only played through Brotherhood. I don't think I've ever played more than $5 for one of those games either. I've always kept an eye on them because I thought the story had promise after AC II, but now I'm not sure if I'll ever go back.

For what it's worth, I've never been an Assassin's Creed fan until I played Syndicate. I've tried many times to play the various iterations and nothing ever sunk in. But Syndicate is surprisingly good - certainly my favorite in the series although that's not saying much.

I saw a physical copy of AC: Unity for PC at my local Best Buy a few weeks ago. I think it was marked down to $8, and I was tempted briefly, but ultimately I passed. I do have GCU so it would have been even cheaper.

It's funny just how much Uplay hurts sales, or maybe that's the plan.
Uplay stuff gets nice and cheap, but steam prices stay high for quite awhile.
Thus they make a tad more from the people paying higher prices.

Playing Arkham Knight and I'm buffled as to why they decided to have break and back with the batmobile on the button X instead of left trigger? Thats like YEARS of learned behavior one must relearn. I've fallen down so many buildings and crashed into so many walls because of that.XD

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Heh, decided to check out Reddit and people are going bonkers over at /pcmasterrace for that comparison screenshot of FO and Skyrim settings.

Some choice cuts

If the leaked shots come from an 8800 then how the fuck can we get a judgement on the graphics?

Doesn't seem legit at all. Someone could have literally just added a 4 instead of the 3 in the title bar. Looks exactly like the FO3 launch menu, and even at that, I'm not worried for a single second if it the FO4 launch options.

That's the point of faking it... making it look real. IF one were to fake it would look like this. And again, FO4 is a gameworks game. And there is no gameworks options menu. Hence why this is fake.

etc

I hate Uplay with a passional but im a bit tempted to get a cheap Uplay Syndicate because of the NVIDIA promo(will take 2 years for Steam to reach that price )...

You can switch battle mode to RB (toggle) after a certain point. I think after a thing in the GCPD early on? Brake will be mapped to left trigger that way.

Have you tried plugging your display into the MOBO's on board card (should be an HDMI slot around the sound and usb slots) and seeing if that works?

I wouldn't be worried about mobo to GPU compatibility since your mobo supports a relatively new 2500k. Have you tested without the GPU to confirm your suspicions? Do the fans spin on the GPU when turned on?

If you think the graphics card is the problem, perhaps try this:

(1) remove the graphics card.
(2) reset your bios (either by jumping the appropriate pins, pressing the appropriate switch, or removing the battery for a bit).
(3) connect your display to the video out for the onboard graphics adapter.
(4) attempt to power on.

Explanation:
In theory, your i5-supporting motherboard should have an integrated video card. By doing the above, you will ensure that if your BIOS was set to have the integrated video card disabled (instead of set to AUTO), you will again reset it to factory defaults which will allow it to display.
If you cannot see the PC post, the problem is not your video card. If you can hear things coming online (fans or HDDs starting to spin, for example) but it immediately shuts off, it may be something with your motherboard/ram/psu.

All the fans work fine, I tested it w/out the card. I gotta look again but I didn't notice an hdmi output on the mobo. I connect it to my hdtv, no monitor. I will try to reset bios. Thanks guys!

Not getting all the fuss for Binary Domain here =/

It's certainly a competent cover shooter, and the destruction effects on the enemies are cool.
But the dialogue system is a total gimmick, characters are jackasses, some of the enemy encounters are really cheap, and it's just really quite repetitive.

What difficulty are you playing on? I don't recall having much issue with it, and the robotic destruction was pretty fun. It was just a nice change of pace from the typical stuff on the market for the genre.

As expected the big Steam CCU numbers were a glitch, but it was still a record

So much about that:

al [developer] 3 hours ago
It was a glitch, we've made a fix that should prevent it from happening in future weeks. It was still a record-setting day at 11,140,853 though.

Zestiria's battle system sure is button mashy...
Story doesn't have as strong a start as Abyss did, graphics are marginally better than Abyss (well, resolution increase aside), battle tracks are worse than Abyss, characters so far as well.

It'll probably get better as soon as I leave the tutorial areas, but yeah, the first 5 hours haven't been all that amazing.
