Guys, GUYS!

Driver: San Francisco…$5. Worth every penny. I got a copy for the PC even though I own it on the PS3. SUCH an amazing game.

4144

Ignore Brian, he’s wrong.

4145

Wait, it’s not Driver: Space, and Brian gushed over it?

4146

That’s a hell of a deal on those pinball games.

4147

Fuck you, I’m not. :P

I love all types of games, especially great arcadey driving games. :)

4148

Got a email deal from Ubi:

Was the new Splinter Cell that bad, that the price dropped so fast?

SALE LINK

4149

Brian’s not wrong and thanks for the heads up on the Pinball games. I feel a little bad paying the bare minimum but the Amazon sales are going to destroy my gaming budget for the next couple months. :(

And no, the new Splinter Cell is EXCELLENT. I don’t know how well it sold, however.

4150

Dishonored + both DLCs for $13 is another amazing deal. If you haven’t played it yet, it’s my #2 game for 2012. The DLC is great, too.

4151

I’ve completely sworn off anyhting that requires the uPlay client. I haven’t been able to play Trials Gold, Far Cry 3, or Blood Dragon since the middle of the year. (Note that I had been able to play them before.) Ubi tech support just gave up and stopped answering my emails, so fuck them and their shit games client.

4152

New Humble Store deals too, including Europa Universalis 4 for $20 and Half-minute Hero for $2.50

4153

The client is indeed shit, I haven’t been able to use “online” mode in months (around the time my Blood Dragon save got corrupted). Now it just tells me network error every time I launch the client.

Which is why I haven’t bought AC4 yet. :(

4154

Wow, what the heck. My PC must be blessed or something because I’ve never had problems with Uplay beyond having to create a BAT file to enter a cd key (yes, this is really dumb). I’ll have to stop recommending Ubi titles if this sort of thing is so widespread.

4155

Yup. I can’t even buy a Ubi game through Steam because it still forces you to use the uPlay client.

Fuckers.

4156

I’ve played probably 3-5 Ubi titles this last 18 months or so (Heroes VI and expansion, Far Cry 3, stuff like that) and I haven’t had any problems with the Ubi client. I don’t have it installed unless I’m going to actually use it (unlike Steam, which is always there) but when I install, login, and download a game I’ve never had a problem, fwiw.

4157

Steam today: ARMA II $2.59 -80%.
Entire franchise on sale -80%. It’s like free, but 20% more! QT3 ARMA II thread but maybe you want the ARMA III thread?

Steam weekend 1: Rage $4.99 -75%. QT3 thread Free to play this weekend.
Steam weekend 2: EU4 $19.99 -50%. Same price as amazon. QT3 thread

4158

Works for me, besides Anno 2070 always downloading the same patch every time I ran it in the past, and Ubi forcing an unchangeable nickname of SHOP3452323121234blah on me. But I still don’t like it. :)

4159

Rage is worth a $5er , at least till you get to the last 10% of the game and its crap ending area/level/conclusion.

Maybe I’ll re-download the Ubi store again tonight, Anno 2070 and Settlers 7 worked fine , it all went to crap due to Blood Dragon!!!

I really do want AC4, and don’t want to PS3 rent it, after the horrible performance of AC3 on the PS3.

Anyways sorry for the derail, back to DEALS.

4160

Agreed on Rage. I wish more shooters had that boomerang thing.

4161

It’s free this weekend. Why pay at all?

4162

Rage sucked. It has totally predictable game-play. There are no suprises, you see everything coming a mile away. While ID’s tech has evolved since the days of Doom, their game design has not.
