Obligatory daily Mad Max screens
Pls stop, I'm more than busy enough with MGSV, TW3 and Hero of the Kingdom II as-is, I don't need another game, you bastard!
You're one hell of a photographer though. ;P
Right, but they were bought by, what, Sega? And Sega has a long history with the PC platform, even if it's the european & american division and not the japanese one, you'd surely think they'd come to their senses eventually.
The only other notable content the Gold Edition includes is the small mission line featuring Aveline, which lasts less than an hour.

Trials Fusion + Season Pass + MAX is much cheaper than the Awesome MAX Edition. Good job Ubi.

Railroad X has a Mixed rating on Steam, 48% positive after 27 Steam reviews. And they're charging $26 after the first discount.
A model-train simulator would be cool, but this one doesn't look worth the price.

holy shit AC1 and Rayman Origins in the Build your Own Ubisoft bundle don't come with Steam keys... or uPlay keys. They're JUST DRM free. Wow. Talk about cut off your nose to spite your face, wow.
I agree with that. The gameplay is some of the most refined I have seen in a long while. And I won't let Metal Gear Solid V go by without me completing it. I'm just still in a "shocked" condition by the lack of story and cutscenes.
PS: Changed my avatar, heh.
git gud, scrub
They were always DRM Free as far as i know. Prince of Persia (Cell Shaded one) is also DRM Free.

Don't forget Far Cry and Far Cry 2.

Anyone played through the White March in Pillars of Eternity? Really need to get back to that game, especially now that I can respec for a roleplaying build without restarting. Made a really tough monk who was shit at talking his way out of fights which is how I always play rpgs.
In off topic news: everyone with a PS4 buy Tearaway Unfolded. The vita version is one of the greatest games of all time and the most effective use of acknowledging the role of the player in any video game.

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.
Interesting. Most of that sounds pretty good to me.
I definitely agree on the durability. Weapons in DS1 would basically never break (crystal weapons aside), unless you never bothered to repair them, and the repair costs were so trivial that there was no reason not to repair every time you returned to the bonfire. About the only time I could see a weapon breaking is if a player dies repeatedly without being able to recover their souls, but at that point the extra punishment isn't really needed. In DS2 they took the opposite extreme, and weapons broke way too fast. You eventually learn to manage it, but it needed to be toned down a bit.
I'm in favor of the respec option, so long as there is a high cost. Carefully choosing how you build your character should be important, but at the same time you generally have to make choices about how to build a character before you understand how the stats work (especially things like hard and soft caps, and weird stats like adaptability where the effects aren't readily apparent). And there's also the problem where balance patches could potentially ruin a good build. I'd much rather have an option to fix a mistake I made early on, even if it meant a decent chunk of grinding, than have to restart the character from scratch. But I also wouldn't want PVP to be filled with flavor of the month builds (well, even more than it already is).
Not sure how I feel about the return of MP. Demon's Souls, for all it did right, was full of consumable spam. In the late game, items that healed your health to full were incredibly easy to come by, and were used incredibly fast. MP recovery items were more costly, but if you were willing to grind for it, you could spam magic indefinitely. This had some unfortunate implications in the PVP, where it would sometimes drag on forever with people constantly spamming healing items, and the spell that revived you on death. Also, using a single powerful spell could completely drain your MP reserves, forcing you to use recovery items to use any other spells after that. Much like Estus Flasks resolved a lot of issues with constant healing, I think limited spellcasts helped to balance out the magic system. However, I guess it did pretty much prevent most players from being a pure spellcaster (which is something I liked about the games, but I guess others might feel differently). But hey, maybe recovering your MP will be limited in some way to prevent it from getting out of hand.

No, the "holy shit" isn't that they're DRM free (that's a-OK and a positive thing), the holy shit is that they're clearly trying to dump Steam for uPlay but since those games aren't on uPlay they'd still rather dump Steam and just give people no service keys, just the DRM free stuff.
Edit:
Also Far Cry 1, Far Cry 2, and Beyond Good and Evil.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is Steam, but Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is uPlay only.
... yeah.
I haven't seen them drop below 1.74 a piece
From Dust is garbage on PC.
you know what? Tomb Raider just sucks
the remake is one of the worst games I played in years and when I think about the originals the truth is I didnt know any better
only good tomb raider things: Lara Croft and the guardian of light. Lara Croft GO. Putting the butler in the fridge in 2.
shitty characters shittier movies brought oversized boobs into videogames
tomb raider is a sickness

Well on that day during the 2013 Summer Sale when they put Tomb Raider on a daily deal, the prices on all the other stuff was glitched at 91% off for a couple minutes until they fixed it. Was a pretty sweet price mistake actually, since these games had just hit Steam not long before it happened.
Want to hear the most hilarious shit?
This awful Ubisoft BYOB is has a so fucking terrible discount deal that it makes games more expensive
Want to get :
Assassins Creed III
Liberation HD
Assassins Creed 1 Director's Cut
?
Buy it separately and you're looking at 14,97$
Try to get those three games in one purchase? Well, fuck you, we will reduce the normal individual discount and override it with just a 70% discount. Pay us 17,99$, because fuck you that's why.
Jesus fuck Ubisoft.

I completely do not agree. The last Tomb Raider was rather awesome and the series has been fairly high quality since leaving the ps2 era.

Tomb Raider Anniversary is the bee's knees.
You can't.

Beyond Good and Evil is the worst of all of them if you want to buy a Steam version of the game. The Steam version has only managed to reach $4.99 in the past and has been going for $5.99 in the last few sales. Meanwhile it's $2.49, including GOG, which is probably the best place to buy it other than the Humble Store.
It can't suck for the simple reason you can lock a butler in a fridge and hear him struggle.
REVOLUTIONARY.

Grim Fandango is one of the worst adventure games of all time, don't waste your money.
...what?
I thought about playing this game this weekend, what is that what you're talking about?
That'd be cool.
I'd spend 100$ on it, I'd kill someone for that, I'd blow someone for that. I NEED IT.
I really dont think so. Its probably just that ATLUS doesnt care atm.
Like, if they had a deal with sony, sony wouldnt have allowed them to release P4 on PS2 instead of PS3.
Just to make it clear, im gonna build a nuke this week, and if anyone in here invades me im gonna NUKE his ass to hell and back and back to hell.
Bummer
Says here (on cdp.pl product page) that the limited edition box copy has keys for both GOG, Origin and Steam.
this is just dumb now
Yeah, it could be just that it was first of games to require higher specs and thus considered badly optimized by some. I never played it as I only recently upgraded my GPU and 6870 didn't run it at playable frame rates.

That build your own bundle would be cool if I could get escape from dead island for like a dollar.
Freedom = $1.05

yup, a lot easier to pull the trigger when it's being paid for with free steam dollars
