Seems like Siege and Syndicate are going to be bundled with Geforce
probably uplay key
99.9% it'll be a Uplay key. I think it's the only reason Ubi offers.
You're welcome.
Regarding this Topware bundle:
I have some games on the wishlist and have recently played Gorky 17 (was a big fan of it when it was released). Gorky 17 is certainly playable, the graphics and the voice are both pretty sad, but the gameplay is there. There is one crash, but you can both avoid it and play the game in a way that it doesn't trigger. I expect other games in the bundle to be the same, maybe a bit better looking - dated, but certainly playable.
Hell awaits.
Would more buy it if the unlock requirement were lower and is already unlocked?
Speaking of AssCreed in the run up to Syndicate Ubisoft has been doing little recap videos of each instalment and what they brought to the table.
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Their up to Revelations so far. Might be of interest for folks waiting on Syndicate or those of you suffering from insomnia.

Will those games even apply to syndicate? Seems we're almost at the point where Ubi wants to drop the future stuff.

Everything is going to be fine...
Anyway, is buying the game as gifts and putting them on inventory count to the pre order number? I guess not?
They've all been doing it since II. Each has their own little unique gameplay mechanics that don't transfer to the others so it's been interesting to refresh my memory. Though I think I've been absorbed in the series for so long that I've contracted Mad AssCreed Disease.
Well it seams that they will do better job with present day in AC Syndicate than they did with Unity.
of course it counts, why shouldn't it, it's sold copies that count

I see. So, can people who bought several ToZ copies just refund the gifts after they reached the third tier on the launch day then?
Some dude passed me this idea.
It wouldn't be economical advisable to do that. Let's say the remaining 40% corresponds 2000 copies of ToZ. Then it would cost ~100k euro for a single user to buy all the remaining copies >.<
mhmmm, that's risky idea, valve can refuse to refund multiple copies for no reason.
Not to mention that it could be that counter isn't real at all.
edited: this monday indiegala bundle can be the first bundle in a long time where I'll end up playing all games. Quite a feat, indiegala
If I ever will find time for it, that is.

Lol indeed, it's pretty risky and pricey.
But if the community is willing to do that with at least one person buying a couple of copies, it'll be unlocked in no time. But yeah, it's not worth it.
That's right
I think it's time I replayed Revelations. My favorite AC game by far.

Can't wait for the Unity one ayyy
Gracias.
So I've made some changes to Steam Spy front page to make it as useful as Steam's old front page before the Discovery update.
I'm weighing six metrics for the last 600 games that were released on Steam to come up with "trend score" that is later used to determine the game position in the list on the front page. It looks like this.
I'm using Youtube views, Twitch viewers, user score, median playtime, players in the last week and the release date. Overall you could divide them into three set of metrics: social (YT + Twitch), player engagement (user score + playtime) and commercial (players and release date).
I've tried to come up with this before based on Steam's data alone, but it just wasn't possible. The Steam data isn't enough to rank games - I needed social metrics and YT+Twitch are pretty good for this.
Fun fact - if I remove commercial metrics (players in the last two weeks) the list won't change much
Consider it my Discovery update for Valve's Discovery update

That's three strong arguments, I must say
You totally gonna convince HB that it is good idea by doing it!
And you know they will keep the best games from normal bundles because of this
Its all staged anyway.
I had no idea WRC 5 is releasing this week.
Why you fail me so steamgaf?
If it's Zesty you are talking about, I must object
You don't want bamco to get wrong ideas with first Tales game they are releasing on steam.

Well it's not like their sexiness isn't played up in DS. It's just that they have other quirks too.
With that said, DS primarily works because it's 2D. I doubt it'd be as good if it's 3D.

Interesting, thanks.
I am not sure this can be called "trending" - that's perhaps too absolute a term. You say it "wasn't possible" to get the list working based on Steam data alone, and it started working after you added YT+Twitch. But herein lies the rub - how could you tell that things were working vs not working? Perhaps you were simply unconsciously comparing the results you were getting to what you felt they should be like and those expectations you had were largely formed by YT+Twitch. Obviously, once you plugged YT+Twitch directly, it started seeming "alright", but whether this could be called "trending", I don't know... it's just "trending on YT+Twitch", I guess.
Now, don't get me wrong, it is plenty useful and interesting as it is, thanks for doing it.
Dirt Rally should be out of Early Access come Winter Sale time.
