Does anybody think that Assassin's Creed II would go on sale for -75%? I've never owned or played an AC game and I hear either this or Brotherhood is the place to start.

How much will be Just Cause 2 if it wins the poll??

Thanks for voting Bastion GAF! I've returned the favour by voting JC2. Enjoy.
It did during the winter sale so I don't see why it wouldn't go -75% this time around too unless Ubisoft doesn't feel like it or the new Valve economist wants to see where the purchase point is.

That might be too generous for Ubisoft's blood, but don't buy it before the last day of the sale unless it's featured.

$14.95*.0.25 = $3.75

If the base price is still $20, then the sale price will be $5.
Edit: Appears to have been marked down.

5 euros. Don't know how many dead presidents that is but around 5.
The first. Tales of Monkey Island will not be as good if you are not already familiar with the series and it's characters.

This is the fucker that must be responsible for these flash game sales. I don't know if I should praise him or damn him.
If you won't start at 1 or 2, start at Brotherhood so that Revelations makes sense , but ONLY buy of they are cheap, as you will be held hostage by Ubi and there terrible online only servers unless you use questionable means

Anyone else having a problem getting The Walking Dead to run? Whenever I start it, it says I'm in game on the Steam friend list, but it never actually starts and then it stops listing me as in game. Verified the game and everything, nothing seems to fix the issue.
It took me a while to appreciate the game (near the end of chapter 1), so I would at least give it a couple of more hours. The game really excels at atmosphere and storytelling, while the combat is acceptable to some and horrible for others. I did my first playtrough of the game one and a half year ago, and I ended up enjoying it more than the Witcher 2. You should definately keep going if you want a unique experience in a world rarely seen in gaming.

Forgot about this. On second thought, ignore the Assassin's Creed franchise on PC.

The first Witcher really gets good in the second act. Act 4 is just awesome and I like it alone more than the entire game of Witcher 2.

Thanks for the replies. Only going for it if it hits $4.99
or buy them from GOG when they're on sale there. the UPlay DRM is ripped outta the AC games there.
First one, the old games with voiceacting are godsends.
You just made me paranoid so I booted it up and it runs just fine for me. It did start up in 1024x768 though.

Season pass.
I realized this too late when I bought DS 1 and 2, now EA owns my soul ;_;
Hells yeah!
Thinking of getting Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity. I like RTS games (Age of Empires, Command & Conquer), Civilization games and I love space! But this does look quite complex from the videos I saw. I've also heard that there's not much there for single-player, and I'm not much of a multi-player gamer... So conflicted!
It's $9.99 at 50% off at the moment, will wait to see if it drops any lower. In the meantime, still deciding whether I should get it!

Only AC1 is there and since they updated Uplay, I doubt it will happen with the other games.

Damn you, I tried that!
Turns out my laptop crashes half life when trying to start the first level!
You lied to me man!
(Good job I am in this sale to prepare for when I build my gaming rig lol.)

Verify File Integrity in right click > properties. I've had two games from the sale that didn't work on first download until I verified files and it fixed both.
yea, it was their deal. hopefully they get more Ubi games there. only a handful available.

Welp, I regret decisions in Walking Dead episode 1 already.
Pretty interesting game, has some stuttering issues sadly.

Outlook, not so good. I moaned so much about Ghostbusters not working, I got pushed from pillar to post with Atari and Steam support. The patch never came out.

My first PC summer is crazy. Spent £60 on Steam and Amazon sales, got
Witcher 2
Skyrim
Alan Wake American Nightmare
LA Noire complete
Assassins Creed Revelations
Trine 2
+
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Burnout Paradise
+
Dota 2 (free after splurging on Steam sale)
All except Trine 2 were on my wishlist so I am doing pretty good in discipline. The only things remaining on my wishlist are Max Payne 3 (won't get until -75%), Ridge Racer Unbounded (won't get it now that I got NFS and BO P), Saints Row 3 (not sure if want), Fallout NV (won't get it now that I got Skyrim).
If I only had time to play these all!

Steam usually does this 1 time gesture refund. Contact support about your problem and see how it goes.
